The wrong path

Goodnight

"Wake up" I heard Matteo yelling from the other side of the room. I sat up and glared at him. He was already dressed. He had on a black shirt with black dress pants and his curly hair looked perfect. "Get up" he said. "Don't you see my eyes are opened" I said. He threw a long blue dress at me then said "get dressed" before walking out the room. I washed my face and brushed my teeth then got dressed. The dress was long on me but it still looked good. I put on my black Sandals then braided my hair. "Are you ready" he yelled while walking into the room. He stopped then looked me up and down."you look young for a 22 year old" he said. "Maybe because I'm 18" I said. "Oh my" he said. "You look young for a 30 year old" I said. "Maybe because I'm 25" he stated. "I never would have guessed" I said. "Well that's just rude" he said. "No what's rude is you not letting me leave then forcing me to come witness you do illegal shit" I snapped. "Well if you wouldn't have went to a club and talked to some guy you don't know this wouldn't have happened" he barked. "Whatever Matteo I don't feel like talking to you" I said then tried to walk past him. He grabbed my shoulder roughly then I slapped him in the face. "Let's get one thing clear you don't own me so the next time you lay a hand on me it will be the last time you touch anything"  I snapped. "I'm sorry" he said. "Yeah whatever" I said. Just then Michelle walked into the room and said "it's time to go". This is the first time I've been let out my room. The boat is huge. It has high ceilings and nice Furniture everywhere. "How are you people so rich" I asked. "Business" Matteo said. We walked off the boat and I looked around. "Where are we" I asked. "Don't worry we won't be here long" he said. We walked for about 5 minutes before we were at a huge house.

We walked into the house and I looked around again. It was huge. Maybe a 3 story I'm not sure. Glass furniture was everywhere but it didn't look like anyone lived here. "Who lives here" I asked Michelle. "This is our house" she said. We went into the back yard then suddenly 3 large men came into view. Another man came out and I noticed him. He was at Blonsha that night. "Father" Matteo said. They all began speaking Italian so I just looked down but suddenly I cought something one of the mean said. "Leonardo". What about him ? Oh my god. I'm such a dumbass. The mafia. Once I really thought about it all made sense. People wanting to kill Matteo and I. Them being rich. All the business. I don't know why I didn't realize this sooner. I looked up and one of the men looked me up and down then said something in Italian then Matteo tensed up. The man stepped closer and out of fear I stepped back and grabbed matteos hand.  Everyone started yelling and I got even more scared. Matteos dad said something then 2 other men came out the house and took two of the men away. They left the one who was looking at me. "Michelle take Daisy inside" Matteo said. "What why what are you going to do" I asked. "Just go inside" he said then pulled his hand out of mine. "Come on" Michelle said. We walked into the house then went upstairs. Just as we walked into a room I heard two gunshots. I jumped and Michelle just looked at me. "I really don't want to be here" I said. "I know I'm sorry" she said. A few minutes later Matteo came in the room and said "let's go". We walked down stairs then walked back to the boat in silence. I walked straight to my room then sat on the bed. I'm so over today is just want to sleep. I took a quick shower but when I walked out the bathroom Matteo was sitting on the bed. "What are you doing" I asked. "This is my room and I'm tired of sleeping on the sofa" he said. "You can't be serious" I said. "Afraid I am" he said. "Get out" I snapped. "Let me think about it Hmm no" he said while rolling his eyes. "I'm not playing Matteo get out" I yelled. "Daisy shut the fuck up I don't feel like hearing it" he said. I gasped then just looked at him. After debating with myself I realized he wasn't leaving and I was tired. I walked over to the bed then laid next to him. "Why don't you listen" he asked. "I'm afraid" I admitted. "Of Leonardo" he asked. "Him and you" I said. He looked at me then said "you don't need to be afraid of me". "But I am" I said. "I'm sorry Daisy". "I just want to go back to my life" I said. "Once we solve the Leonardo issue you can" he said. "How long do you think it'll be" I asked. "A few months at least" he said. "Is there anyway I could get my stuff from my house" I asked. "I live in New Orleans" I said. "I know" he said. "How do you know" I asked. "I know everything about you" he said. "Who knew the mafia people were so nosey" I said. He looked at me but said nothing. "Just because I'm 18 doesn't mean I'm an idiot" I said. "I was hoping you wouldn't catch on so quickly" he admitted. "So can I get my stuff I promise I won't try anything" I said. "Yes but we can only stay for two days" he said. I turned to face him. "What do I tell my parents and my boyfriend" I asked. "Tell then whatever you want" he said. "Okay" I said with a sigh. "How long have I been here" I asked. "4 days" he said. "Are you serious" I gasped. I thought it was only two. "Yes the drugs Leonardo put in the drink knocked you out for a long time" he said. "Do you regret it" I asked. "What" he asked. "Helping me" I said. "No" he said. "You should have let him kill me" I said turning away from him. "Daisy" he said then grabbed my shoulder forcing me to face him again. "I'm going to protect you" he said. "When can we get my things" I asked. "Tomorrow we're only a few hours away anyways and I have some business to do" he said. "Did you kill that man at the house" I asked. "Yeah" he said. "Why" I asked. "He was helping Leonardo and he made some comments about you" he said. "What did he say" I asked. "He wanted to fuck you" he said. "Oh" I said feeling sick. "No ones going to do anything to you" he said. "What about you" I asked. "I wouldn't do anything unless you asked and I don't see you like that" he said. "Okay" I replied. "Why do you ask" he asked. "Well we are in the same bed" I said. "You really are afraid of me" he said. I said nothing because it was true.

"You didn't seem afraid when you grabbed my hand" he said. "In that moment I more afraid of him" I said. "I see" I replied. Before I could say anything he said goodnight then turned out the lights.
