Torn

27

When I hit my last target I start taking my sniper apart and put it in its case and walks down the building.

I have checked in on Frankie through Eli. She been asleep as far as he knows. I made sure that I locked her door on my way out. The only one that can unlock her door is her.

Its midnight by the time I get home, its been almost 12 hours since Frankie and I talked.

I hope she will open up Or at the very least trust me more.

Frankie POV

When I woke up, I felt like I was really light but heavy at the same time. If I didn't move I felt light but when I did move my limbs felt 100 times heavier.

So mostly I have been in bed. Thinking about what I learned last night, Well more like two days ago. My brothers are in the mafia.

I'm not sure how to feel about it, im a little scared and nervous but also satisfied. Scared and nervous because well its the mafia, they can die at anytime. And satisfied because I no longer have to question their actions.

I force myself up and out of bed to take a shower and brush my teeth. Its kinda weird that I can do this when ever I want. When he was still alive, I couldn only do this when he was gone.

When I'm done I look at myself in the mirror and see the changes. My skin is still pale transparent. My bones no longer stick out like they use to. my hair is starting to get a little curly.

When I was younger and mama was still alive my hair had a little curl to it. Mama said that I got it from papa. I remember how she used to run her hand through my hair and sing a song when I couldn't go to sleep.

I walk out of the bathroom and unlock my door and sit back on my bed. I slowly remembered the song and sing it softly.

'Wenn Du wirklich willst
Dann renn' einfach los
Weil es kann Dich keiner mehr kriegen
Wenn Du erst anfängst zu fliegen

Wenn Du wirklich willst
Dann renn' einfach los
Weil es kann Dich keiner mehr kriegen
Wenn Du erst anfängst zu fliegen

Vielleicht kann's sein
Aufhör'n zu verfluchen
Selbst mal zu versuchen
Und es mag ja leicht sein
Mit Worten zu gefallen
Die's um jenem schnell verfall'n
Aber da fehlt was
Ich seh' es Dir an
Und wir vergessen so oft, dass man alles machen kann
Und eigentlich willst Du ja
Aber das bleibt so weit so nah

Wenn Du wirklich willst
Dann renn' einfach los
Weil es kann Dich keiner mehr kriegen
Wenn Du erst anfängst zu fliegen

Wenn Du wirklich willst
Dann renn' einfach los
Weil es kann Dich keiner mehr kriegen
Wenn Du erst anfängst zu fliegen

Und du weißt es selbst
Aber hast Angst, wenn du's probierst
Dass es dann so nicht funktioniert
Also lässt du's sein
Weil Du beschützt lieber dein' Traum
Als Dich jemals echt zu trauen

Bitte hör' nicht hin
Egal was sie Dir sagen
Du spürst es von innen
Und nichts hat Gewicht
Weil Du tust es sowieso nur für Dich

Wenn Du wirklich willst
Dann renn' einfach los
Weil es kann Dich keiner mehr kriegen
Wenn Du erst anfängst zu fliegen

Wenn Du wirklich willst
Dann renn' einfach los
Weil es kann Dich keiner mehr kriegen
Wenn Du erst anfängst zu fliegen

Wenn Du wirklich willst
Dann renn' einfach los
Weil es kann Dich keiner mehr kriegen
Wenn Du erst anfängst zu fliegen

Wenn Du wirklich willst
Dann renn' einfach los
Weil es kann Dich keiner mehr kriegen
Wenn Du erst anfängst zu fliegen'

When I sing the last few words I feel a tear fall on my cheek. I wipe it away and sniff. I jump when someone knocks on the door.

"Come in" I quickly clear my throat when I hear how scratchy it sounded. Shane pokes his head in and looks at me.

"Hey France, how you doing? Eli told me you haven't come out at all today." He says softly as he makes his way to the end of my bed.

"I haven't felt like going out." He looks at my face. He nods and puts out a hand. "Come on"

I pull my brows together but slowly put my hand in his "were are we going?" I ask as he pulls me up of the bed.

"Getting you food." Was all he said.

I sit by the island and watch as he pulls out ingredients to make whatever he's making. We are both silent waiting for one of us to break the silence. I'm about to say something when he turns around.

"Do you have any questions? You know about...our work" I do have a question its been at the back of my head since I woke up. "Why didn't you tell me? I mean when I first arrived."

He turns back around and add more ingredients to the hot pot. "I wanted to tell you but Hozier shot me down and said that it would be better if you didn't know."

I nod, I mean it makes sense but what would he do if I started asking questions? Would he shoot me down too?

"Are you going to tell the others about what happened to me?" I make a slight face when I voice comes out shaky.

He turns around and looks me in my eyes, "No, I won't. Unless you ask me to tell them. But I think it would be better if you tell them, they would probably take it better coming from you. And take as long as you need. Just know I will always be here for you, from now and forever"
