Our Toxic Love

@16

Amy's POV
No, no, no, no, no, no. I rush to the bathroom to throw up.

"Ugh, I hate this!"

"Are you ok?"

I turn around and wipe my mouth. So it wasn't a dream. He is here.

I get up from the ground and push past him but he grabs my hand.

"Why are you walking away from me?"

"Did you have fun at Jamaica?" I took my hand out of his hold.

"Fuck. Baby, it's not what you think."

"Your business trip seemed like it was filled with festivities."

He holds  the bridge of his nose and signs.

Yeah you're a pain in the ass too.

"You want us to trust each other when you obviously don't trust me?" I feel tears roll down my face.

What's happening? It's like I can't control my emotions.

He step towards me but I step back.

"It's not that I don't trust you, Amy. I think I'm fucking inlo- I just need some time baby."

"From me?"

"No! With you. I need time with you. I don't want to lose you baby."

"Yeah, well, if you can't tell me simple things Zach, you already lost me. What is a relationship without communication?" I sniff and turn to walk away.

"Don't go." he grabs my hand again.

I stand there with my back turned and he's still holding onto my hand.

"Can you look at me? Please?"I turn to look at him.

"I'll tell you everything but you gotta promise me that you won't leave me."

I nod,"I promise."

I sit on his bed and he sits in his chair.

He holds my hand and lock eyes with me.

"I'm apart of a mafia." he searches my face waiting on my reaction.

"That's fine Zach. Is that what you were afraid of telling me? You thought I'd leave you because of that?"

I hold his face and look into his eyes as if assuring him.

"No I don't think you understand Amy. I'm the boss and I've done some bad things. Really bad things baby."

"You can tell me."

I never told him but my dad was one of the biggest dons back home and he still is even 6ft under. I'm used to all of this. Guns, killings...

"You sure?"

I nod.

"It all started with my grandfather who was the leader of the biggest mafia in Italy but he moved here with my grandmother and they had my dad in the states. My dad took over the mafia at a young age after my grandparents were murdered by another mafia. My dad strengthen our resources and created alliances all over the world. He created businesses and made the Lane name legendary. By the time he was 30 he was already making billions. My dad doesn't like violence unless it is necessary so when necessary we kill people."

"Who killed your grandparents?"

"A Lucas."

"Wait, Lio is a Lucas."

Oh, rivals. It was clear like day now.

"Yeah, his grandfather sent his men to assassinate my grandparents because they were rivals and my grandfather was taking over."
