21 | What you make me feel

(Selena's pov)

Everyone had already left to pay their respect to Caleb's family, Leonardo and Matteo were the only two left in the house. Even some who work here asked for a leave today cause they wanted to attend Caleb's death, he was a likeable guy to all around here.

This place is so empty when no one is around, I feel like even my thoughts are echoing through the room because its so silent. One, two butlers and maids which stayed behind were passing by and doing chores quietly.

"Its too quiet right?" Matteo appeared out of nowhere.

"Yes." I respond.

"That's how I feel too. Those walls are now too big for me to handle all alone." He jokes.

"Indeed." I agree.

"Come on, lighten up a bit!" He pats my shoulder.

I back away and laugh, he apologises thinking he made me uncomfortable and I apologize cause I gave him the wrong meaning. I actually have no idea why I backed away, for some reason... I don't get it.

"How is he?" That question has been sitting in my head since yesterday.

"He..." Matteo trails off.

I raise my brows, impatiently waiting for him to finish his sentence. My heart skipping beats as I await in this silence to finally get an answer to my so eager question.

"He is-" BANG.

A gunshot.

"We are being attacked!!" A guy yelled a minute before he got shot in the head.

All the people left in the house started, running and hiding while Matteo and I stood on the second floor watching over who is downstairs. Matteo grabbed my hand and handed me... a gun.

"For safety reasons." I don't know how to use guns! I always used to skip those lessons because I was scared to touch one, hell I am scared to even see one. Now I have it in my hand...

I started trembling and he held me tight trying to calm me down. I took a deep breath and I closed my eyes, I handed back the gun and he looked at me confused.

"Do you have a knife on you?" I ask him.

"No?" He replies.

Fuck. I pull him down with me as they raise their heads to look upstairs, Matteo and look over, poking our eyes at the gaps of the rocky railings, the railings were quite thick so we could barely see and they too.

"Check the whole house! They must be here!" A man voice growled.

They? Which is he looking for? The only people in the house are me, Leo and Matteo. Expect from us I don't think any of the maids or butlers had a reason to meet those kinda of people. But I haven't either which leaves, Matteo and Leonardo.

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

That came from the third floor, everyone looked up and I did too. Leonardo Hernandez standing over there, shooting without hesitation and knocking them all dead.

He is full of anger, his eyes piercing through the people downstairs and his hand shooting ruthlessly. His hair is messy waving through the smoke of the bullets and his shirt is unbuttoned, he is an entire mess today, totally unlike how he is everyday.

Every shot filled with more and more anger, the men downstairs screaming and running, some running upstairs to catch him. Everyone else hiding, crying and praying for their lives.
