HIM

Chapter 27

it's been a week. a week without Giovanni. 

we have not broken up we just taking sometime apart and I've been thinking a lot this past week. Can I really marry him? We come from 2 different worlds and He is kind and caring but on the other hand he is Complicated and difficult. But fuck I know I can never leave him. I love him.

"Hey Little one" Giuseppe said barging in my old room.

Lets just say I'm not living with Giovanni.. I came back to the old house were everyone is just for a few weeks until everything with Giovanni gets sorted, And we talk about things.

"My door is here for a reason, why don't you ever knock"

"Because thats he way I am" he said jumping on my bed.

"So what's up?"

"Its Giovanni"

"What? What do you mean? What happened?"

"He was flying to Florence this morning for a business meeting and no one has heard from him since. No one knows whether he made it there or not"

"Is this a joke?" I said not wanting to believe that something might've happened to him.

"No, no I'd never joke about something like that with you. Never"

"its fine, he's alright. I know he is"

"Lana.."

"No, Don't please. I don't even wanna hear it. he's fine, its Giovanni"  I said. deep down I was feeling that something was wrong, I guess I couldn't admit it.

Its been 4 hours. 4 hours of people constantly in and out of my room, telling me to stay strong.

At the moment I feel nothing. Just blankness and the growing emptiness in my stomach.

"Hey cheer up he's going to be fine. We haven't heard anything from the police which means its a good thing" Angel said comforting me.

"We haven't had enough time Angel. We need more time it can't end now. We are getting married soon, my birthday is soon how am I supposed to live through that?"

"Hey stop alright? He's going to be fine"

"Guys.." Lorenzo said. "the police just called"

"and? what happened is Giovanni alright?" I said jumping out of bed.

"They said...um that he didn't make it"

I fell down onto the floor, my legs no longer able to support my weight. I ran a hand down my face, fighting the strong urge to scream. "he's dead?" I asked.

"he is, Lana I'm so sorry" he said not being able to look me in the eye.

"All of you, leave now" I looked around the room as everyones faces dropped.

"Lana" Angel said walking to my side.

"I said leave everyone out"

"I'm not leaving you" Giuseppe replied  crouching to my level. "The rest of you out"

"You too get out I need to be alone"

"No" he said as everyone was already out the room.

"I cant do this anymore" I said sobbing. "what have I done?"

"Just breath. Breath" he said caressing my shoulder. "I'm right here"

"This is all my fault. We had a fight and I left him and now he's gone"

"What happened is not your fault Lana"

"Not my fault?" I questioned. "It is all my fault"
