"Where the hell is he?" I question them.

"How am I supposed to know, I don't put a tracker on him." One of them scoffs.

I glare at her. "Asshole," I mutter walking away.

I try Luca's phone number a few times before he picks up. "Hey, Arabella." He says cheerfully.

"Vincenzo is missing." I state, worriedly.

"What! Where was he last?" He asks.

"I don't know, but I think he was talking to Aurora on the phone before. Could you send her address?"

"Of course, I'll meet you there." He says as I quickly cut the call.

Once I got the address I used his car and one of his driver's to drive me there. I got there anxiously knocking on her door.

It's opened by her and she doesn't seem pleased to see me. "What?"

"Is Vincenzo here?"

"He was here like a few days ago, why?"

"He didn't come home and he won't pick up my calls."

She smiles and gets her phone trying to call him. "His phone is switched off." She gasps.

"Did you find him?" Luca's voice says from behind me.

I shake my head. "I don't know where else he could be."

"He stormed out of my house, looking all emotional and was being all rude about it." She informs me.

"Why?" I ask.

"Could have been his PTSD," She mutters to Luca.

"PTSD!" I ask, completely shocked. "I never knew he had PTSD."

"Of course you didn't. You're he's fucking slut not someone he goes to for support."

"Aurora, shut up. This isn't the time to throw shade at Arabella. Your cousin is missing and I don't think we should call the cops."

"Do you think he got kidnapped?"

"He's too strong for that." Luca replies, shaking his head.

Kidnapped? What the hell. "Maybe he's gone back home, I'll go check." I say rushing back to the car.

"Good luck!" Luca calls behind me.

I swing open the last door in the hallway to it being completely empty and dark. "Great," I mutter.

I adjust my eyes to the darkness to see a figure in the corner. I turn on the lights to see Vincenzo's head in his knees. I turn back off the lights and close the door.

"Vincenzo," I trail, walking up to where he is and sit down. "Where have you been?" I ask.

"With Claire." He mutters, sadly.

A pang of jealousy erupts in my stomach. "What were you guys doing?" I ask.

He doesn't reply in fact, he moves further away from me.

"Look I get I'm just your slut," I recite Aurora's words. "but I'm also here for you if you need it."

He lifts his head up to look me straight in the eyes. "Who told you that?"

I look forward, trying to avoid his eyes. "I just assumed." I shrug pulling a strand of hair behind my ear.

There was a brief silence between us.

"Why did you go to Claire?"

"She was trying to make me feel better." He confesses.

"Do you mean she had sex with you to make you feel better?"

"Well, kind of, but we also talked." He explained. "I think I want her as my therapist again." He adds.

I try to switch off the jealous mode I had and switch to the caring mode. "If that's what you want, but just know you can't have sex to push your problems away."

We just sit there in silence as he casually rests his head on my shoulder. "Sorry for ignoring your calls." He says.

I smile at this gentle side of him. "It's okay, Mr Varallo."

LISTEN!!!!! I am in no way trying to offend people with PTSD or any other mental health issues. If anything, I'm spreading awareness. Don't make fun of any characters in my book with mental health issues, thank you for understanding.

I understand this might not be accurate to actual PTSD but this is a Wattpad book. I read about a girl who always wears a hoodie covering her eyes. Explain to me how she's able to see everyone and never trips over things?

I also wanted to thank all of you for reading and voting. We've gotten to 100 VOTES, AHHH!!! AND 400+ READS!!! You guys are EVERYTHING to me and my only source of joy, lol. Not really but also kinda.

When my first chapter gets 100 reads (currently at 99) I will update on that day. If it happens today you get a double update!!!

Thank you guys once again so much. I love you all so so much.

Next chapter you're going to see an Amelia and Arabella scene again. Ngl, I'm happy with their friendship.
