Saving Lyandra

Chapter 31: Promises

"This may hurt a bit" I said to Gianni angrily running my hands through my hair. This is all my fucking fault. Why couldn't I have just controlled myself?

"Don't worry I'll be fine" he replied gently caressing my cheek. I let out a deep sigh and stitched his body.

... after finishing the stitches ...

"I'm sorry Gianni" I said whipping a tear that had formed in my eye. "I'm so sorry" I cried as I made my way to his door. I didn't want to stay in here if I was going to hurt him. "No dont g-" he yelled as I shut his door behind me.

I walked over to my room and immediately got undressed. I felt icky from being in the hospital for a week with Gianni. This hot shower was calling my name.

... 20 minutes later ...

As I opened my bathroom door there stood ace. I ran up to him, jumping into his arms. "I've missed you brother" I said as I rested my head in the nook of his neck.

"I've missed you too tortina" he smiled placing me back onto the floor. I eagerly grabbed his hand guiding him to sit on my bed.

"You and Gianni look like a married couple" he laughed nudging my arm. "Oh shut up" I laughed slapping his arm.

"I've never seen him like this before. So I love with someone, other than his family" ace said giving me a warm smile. "I guess I'm one of a kind" I said chuckling. "You definitely are" ace replied giving me a warm hug.

"So what are you getting Gianni for his birthday?" Ace questioned me. Birthday. What birthday? Gianni never told me about his birthday. "Um I'm not quite sure. When is it?" I questioned.

"It's next week" he said leaning against my pillow. I can't believe Gianni never told me. I'm more mad at myself if anything. I should've asked. Ugh, I'm such an idiot.

I think I have the perfect idea I'm mind.

... 9:00 pm ...

I laid in bed staring at the ceiling. It felt weird not being with Gianni. I missed him. I missed his touch. Fuck it.

I got up from bed and made my way over to his room. As I was walking over to his room I heard things being broken, and tossed around his room.

I quickened my pace, barging into his room. As he went to throw a glass at his wall he froze. "Gianni" I whispered in a soft voice. He turned around and
thats when I saw him.

His eyes where bloodshot red and he had dried tears on his cheeks. I rushed over to him resting my forehead against his. I felt his hands tremble as he gently placed the glass cup on the floor.

He rapped his arms around my waist, nudging his head into my neck. "Your okay" I whispered into his ear, as he tightened his grip on my waist.

"I'm not leaving you. I'm right here" I whispered once more, but this time rubbing the back of his head, while the other caressed his back.

I felt a flood of water trickle down my back as Gianni dug his head further into my neck, clenching his eyes shut tightly.

We stayed like this for about 5 minutes until he finally raised his head. As I looked into his eyes, I noticed they looked different. His eyes weren't red from crying. It was from something else.

"Gianni what did you take?" I questioned with worry in my eyes. No answer. "What did you take!" I yelled at him angrily. "It was just some weed. I just wanted to numb the pain" he said letting out a disappointed sigh.

I could tell he was beating himself up. I'm not sure why though. He was on good terms me and with his family, right?

I held his hand guiding him back to bed. He rested his head on my chest, as I caressed his back. I began to sing to him. I felt his arms holding my waist tightly, as he burried his face in my neck.
