Chapter thirty-one. Let me go...let me go.
Nicola Castello
____
Not very much has happened since the "meeting" if you could call it so...no one has reached out from Devine's mafia, so Giovanni has probably taken over the whole shit.
As I'm standing in the bathroom, I adjust my tie. I take one last look before I go out, into the bedroom. Kimberly is standing there, waiting for me to go.
"You look really good. Let's go my love." She says. I take her hand, as I look at her. Her black hair is in a high ponytail, dark makeup around her eyes and the black dress fits her perfectly. We walk downstairs, everyone there waiting for us.
"So what will we do when we come to the church?" Kian speaks up, as the whole mansion is quiet.
"We will burry Ivanna. The burial she deserves, and then...we will all go home. Begin with the plans with Giovanni. And hope that this shit will soon be over." I answer. He gives me a nod. I pull out the black sunglasses from my pocket, and put them on my face. I don't want everyone to see me.
The drive to the graveyard was quiet. Kimberly didn't say much and I do appreciate that. I need some thinking silence and I don't have the right thinking road right now. We arrive just in time, and we all walk inside the church.
And there she is. In the big, white casket. A photo of her, but just as a kid...because there's no photo of her as an adult. And it burns so hard in my chest. She didn't get to expierence the world the right way. It hurts so fucking bad...
We sit down, me and Kimberly in the front row. Kimberly holding my hand. Silence is in the church, as the priest starts to talk.
After the speech of the priest, it's time to put flowers on her casket. And my heart sinks miles down. And breaks in the process. Tears starts to run down my cheek, but I swipe them away. I hold the red rose in my hand. And as I'm in front of her, I bow down on my knee.
"I'm sorry that I couldn't save you, mio angelo." My voice breaks mid sentance. But I clear my throat. I put the rose on her casket, and I stand up. Walking back to the seat.
(My angel)
And one by one, my men lay a red rose on her casket. Kimberly first, then Angelo and so on. I can't belive that my little sister is in there. Dead. And I can't belive how scared she must've been all this time...she must have hated her life. And I don't blame her...

The funeral is done but there is one thing I need to do before I go home...
"Kimberly, stay here. I'm right back." I say. She doesn't say anything, just accept my words.
(Please play "rosyln" by Bon iver, st Vincent)
I walk besides all the old and new gravestones. One by one, one soul in every casket beneath my feet. Until I'm at the one I'm supposed to be at.
I look at it. I take off my sunglasses and bend down. So that I can touch the stone. My hand grazing it, with careful steps.
"Hey Ally. Hey, Lexos my beautiful boy..." I let out a breathy laugh, as a tear slide down my cheek. And I couldn't hold it in anymore.
