New Beginnings

OLIVIA'S POV:

I shut my eyes, praying this was all a bad dream, and that Mar hadn't walked in on Mattia and I. But when I opened them again, Mattia was still laying above me. I looked down, seeing his hand slowly going inside his jacket, presumably for my knife. I pressed my lips together as Mar kept talking shit.

"Fuck yourself, Mar" said Mattia. I looked up at him, unsure of how he was going to win this with a knife, when they had guns.

"That's usually her job" he said. I didn't even have to look to know his finger was pointing at me.

"Shut the fuck up"

I recognised Alejandro's voice and Mattia stood up quickly. I followed suit and stood behind him, noticing Alejandro stood behind the soldiers, a gun pointed at the back of Mar's head.

"Don't" said Mattia, looking at Alejandro. He slowly lowered his gun, keeping an eye on Mar.

"Get over here, Olivia" he said, clenching his jaw. I swallowed but my throat was dry. I didn't want to cause anymore trouble so I took a step forward to Mar.

"She's staying with me" interrupted Mattia, placing an arm in front of me. Mar took his gun out and aimed it directly at Mattia. But that wasn't enough to bother him.

"Pull the trigger, do it" he said, smiling at Mar. I felt goosebumps on my skin as Mar loaded his gun with his thumb. Mattia took his gun out too, but kept it facing the ground.

"I don't like being provoked" said Mar. No one said anything, instead we all watched as he moved his gun away from Mattia's head, and aimed it at me.

"Mar" I whispered, feeling my heart dropping to my stomach. There wasn't much I could do that would stop him.

"Aye take it easy" said Mattia. He reached behind and ushered me behind him as Mar's hand started shaking.

"Move" he said. Mattia stayed put, shaking his head slowly. Before anyone else could do anything, two gunshots were fired from Mar's gun. The first shot missed me by an inch.

I felt it fly past my hair, a piercingly loud bang going off as it did. The second bullet caught Mattia in his right arm. He stumbled backwards and I held him, avoiding the blood which was pouring out of his upper arm. Alejandro fired several shots at them, catching Mar in his leg. But before he could cause more damage, his soldiers had picked him up, carrying him out the building.

"Mattia!" I screamed, his eyes were closing as I shook him repeatedly. Alejandro came over to us and took off his jacket, tying it around his arm to stop the blood. Kairi ran into the room, his face red with anger.

"Who the fuck had a gun?" he yelled, looking around the room. His eyes widened when he saw Mattia's arm, and he looked even more confused when he saw me.

"Bro I've never done this shit before" said Alejandro, running a hand through his hair.

"I have, I'll do it" I said. The boys looked at me, Mattia shaking his head. Kairi and Alejandro looked at each other and Kairi shrugged his shoulders.

"There's a first aid kit at the house, let's get him home" said Alejandro.

"No" said Mattia, standing up "you're not coming to the house, we have nurses"

Kairi and Alejandro left the room. I folded my arms and looked at Mattia as he winced from the pain.

"Stop being so stubborn and let me help you"

"No"

"Mattia-"

"Don't 'Mattia' me, I don't want anything to do with you"

"We were literally about to have sex on that couch if it weren't for Mar walking in"

He pressed his lips together, he knew I was right. And there was no point in him fighting it. I raised my eyebrows and waited for his response.

"Just shut up and stay here"

"Mattia I'm trying to help you, blood is leaking through the jacket" I said, pointing to the puddle of blood that was forming on the floor. He sighed, shutting his eyes tight.

"Fuck it" he said, walking towards the door.

"I swear I'll just fix your wound and I'll leave"

"But that's never the case!" he shouted, making me jump. He took a few steps towards me, his chest rising and falling quickly.

"You never just leave. You do something to me and I fucking hate it" he said, his voice louder.

I stared up into his eyes as he looked down at me. We were close enough and I would've leaned in, but his blood was leaking onto my dress. A smirk tugged at my lips as he became angrier with me. I slipped my hand into his trouser pocket and felt around till I got his keys.

"I'll meet you in the car"

I gently patted his chest twice before walking past him and out the room.

I kept a low profile as I walked out, but Mar was nowhere to be seen. I found Mattia's Bentley in a reserved parking spot and let myself into the drivers seat. I waited for around ten minutes until I saw Mattia walk out the building.

He got into the passenger seat, looking extremely uncomfortable.

"You don't have to do this" he said quietly.

"Oh I know" I said, putting the key into the ignition "but I want to"

I drove us back to the house, the journey was oddly quiet. It'd never been awkward between Mattia and I, but this car ride had proved me wrong.

"You can go now" he said, getting out of the car. I rolled my eyes and and got out too, following him towards the front door.

"The first aid kit is inside, idiot"

He opened the door and walked inside. I closed the door and kicked off my heels. I looked in the direction of the kitchen and saw it was empty.

"Mattia I'm-"

"Baby!"

I looked up to see a blonde girl rushing down the stairs. She was wearing a green cropped shirt with grey bottoms. I watched as she ran over to Mattia and wrapped her arms around him, and he did the same. A nervous smile appearing on his face as he held her close to his chest. I felt my eyes heating up but held back the tears as she covered his face in kisses.

"Lola this is Olivia" said Mattia quickly, rubbing the back of his neck. She turned to look at me, giving me a bright smile. I struggled to return the smile as I awkwardly waved at her.

"Oh are you one of his friends? Thanks for bringing him home" she said, her voice was annoyingly high pitched. She turned back to Mattia and saw his arm, taking it in her hands. I watched as her manicured nails untied the jacket, Mattia kept his eyes on me the whole time.

"Baby your arm" she pouted "I'll fix it for you"

She leaned up and kissed his lips quickly before covering up the wound again. I looked up and saw Alejandro was staring down, giving me a sympathetic look. The humiliation was unreal.

"I'll go" I said. Those were the only words I could get out without bursting into tears. I walked towards the door and put my heels back on, turning the key in the lock.

"Liv wait" he called out.

"It's Olivia" I said, without turning around.
