The Mafia's Teacher

CHAPTER 12

I'm now walking cautiously towards Lorenzo.

"Stacey get away from here. Now."

"No you are hurt Lorenzo! I'm not leaving, let me call someone."

"Do NOT call the police, call Mateo." He pulls out his phone from his pocket with his good hand. I walked up to him and grabbed it from the ground. Turning it on, his Lock Screen was him and Daisy with ice creams. Cute!

Oh wait he is currently lying on the floor, get it together Stacey!

*a few hours later*

Tapping my foot nervously, I was waiting to be able to go in and see him. Gabriella was brought back in to treat him. Really, the gunshot wound in his shoulder didn't  effect him. It was the one in his leg! Which I didn't see!

"Calm down Stacey, he's been through a lot of this before." A familiar voice, Mateo, said behind me.

"Yes. But if I didn't make him take me home, if I didn't run out in the road in the first place, this wouldn't of happened!!" The worry seeping through my voice at every word.

It was now the early hours of the morning. Daisy has no idea about what's happened with her father, and that's a good thing.

The ward doors opening broke me from my thoughts.

"Stacey, you can go see him if you want." Gabriella then gave me a smile and showed me through.

After everyone had left the ward, I walked up to the bed the casualty was in.

"Lorenzo! I'm so sorry are you ok?!" I asked worriedly, looking at him. He took up the whole bed with his muscly body, and he was attached to all sorts of wires.

"It's fine."

"No it's not! I'm so sorry I should of gotten Keo to drive me home, have you called the police?!"

"I'm fine, now please leave." He said coldly.

"Oh ok...I'm sorry once again" I walked away defeatedly. I then made it back to the waiting room, where Mateo was staying.

"Aw it's ok, he's always like this when he gets a bruise. Sorry Stacey, he shouldn't of treated you like that. However, I think it's time for you to get some sleep. I have got you a room and I can take you there now if you'd like?"

"Yes please, thankyou for this."

After making our way through what felt like a hundred corridors, we finally made it to my room. Stepping inside, I was hit with the smell of fresh linen and warm air.

"Wow Mateo, thankyou so much! Please, just between us, make sure Lorenzo is ok."

"Of course I will Stacey, he may seem like a cold man, but trust me he is so much more. Just give him some time. Sleep tight."
