The Long Lost Mafia Princess

Chapter 24

(I'll put a sign when you can put the song on)

We were now in the dining room for some breakfast.

We were all just talking until dad caught the attention from everyone.

"So Valentina today you're getting a house tour and tomorrow afternoon the rest of the family is going to come over to meet you."

"Okay.... " I answered back.

"W-will they like me?"

They all looked back at me and then all started answering my question.

"Yes"

"They'll love you"

"Of course"

"They already do"

..and much more.

I gave them a small smile still not entirely sure.

I was also still not feeling the best. It was like my emotions weren't there anymore.

I felt kind of numb.

———-

After breakfast Antonio gave me a house tour.

There are 2 pools indoor and outdoor , extra bedrooms and bathrooms, 2 kitchens, multiple living rooms, cinema room, game room, gym, library, music room, multiple fields for different kinds of sports,....

Everything that you could wish for was here.

After the tour I went to the music room but not before I got my music papers from in my room.

I closed the door and walked to the piano.

I opened the lit and sat down.

I gently placed my papers on the music rack and let my fingers wander over the beautiful white and black keys.

My back straight I begin playing, feeling the music in my entire body.

(Play song)

Darling, I've been having dark dreams
They come home to haunt me
I can't seem to let them go
Darling, I've been having sad dreams
I don't know where I've been
But I know what I've come to

I sing and play feeling free, feeling every word. My body slightly trembling, my eyes closed.

How about we play a game
I know you'll like it, oh
You stay as far as you can
Before they get to you
I may seem crazy but
It's only 'cause I am
Before they capture your mind
Run, run, run

The lyrics flowing out of my mouth. My voice strong and powerful.

Run...Run
I'm tired but I can't sleep
'Cause they're waiting for me
These bad dreams are more than true
And they'll get you
And they'll get you

I think about the nightmares and flashbacks haunting me, making me not want to sleep.  I'm scared. I'm really scared.

Darling, I've been having weird dreams
I don't know what they mean
But I know I don't want to
Darling, this is getting scary
Why can't I stop shaking
I hope you don't see them

I just need everything to stop. I need the world to stop and let me breath, to give me a break. These lyrics speaking nothing but what I'm feeling.

Glances, all I see are glances left and right
They like it when they know I'm anxious
Shadows, all I see are shadows
Hiding where the wind blows
And where my mind got torn

My fingers slide and press the keys, making beautiful noise fill the room. My body shaking, eyes closed but tears still falling out.

How about we play a game
I know you'll like it, oh
You stay as far as you can
Before they get to you
I may seem crazy but
It's only 'cause I am
Before they live in your mind
Run, run, run!

My voice loud and powerful. They haunt me. 

Run!
They will follow me 'til I can't breathe and I'm begging for mercy on my, no
Run...Run
I'm tired but I can't sleep
'Cause they're waiting for me
These bad dreams are more than true
And they'll get you
And they'll get you
And they'll get you
Oh, oh, oh

I can't escape from them, I'll never be able too.

I open my eyes tears still falling out of my eyes.

I gently touch the piano again, fingers sliding.

A small smile crept on my face making me taste tears that fell. 

Every word in this was nothing but the truth. I'm scared, I'm scared to sleep and I'll stay awake as long as I have too to make them stop haunting me.

I decided to go back to my room and maybe read a book, I need to get my mind of reality.

I close the lit and stand up taking my music pieces with me.

I turn around to the door, seeing my entire family standing there.

Oh shit.
