he took my hand, walking up to the building

where the guards immediately opened the doors for us, recognizing our faces

the place reeked of unwashed prisoners

and potentially dead ones?

i looked into one of the cells, at a older man slumped over in his seat

"oh my." i mumbled, looking closer

"it only gets better." he squeezed my hand, leading me into the elevator

we arrived at the next floor, walking down the dark hallway

i stepped closer to him, spotting the single cell at the end

the bianchi's of course

i puffed out my chest, lifting my chin as i stepped 

"nothing a cagna hates more than confidence." i reminisced on what my mother used to tell me

i miss her so much

i interlocked my fingers with his, showing possession

"oh no, you must be starving." i said, greeting their frail and angular body structures

i told the guards to feed them the other prisoners' scraps twice a week

i popped a piece of chocolate into my mouth, offering cain one

which he took and ate

"oh did you want some?" i sarcastically laughed

"here" i threw the wrapper at roman

causing it to hit his face, then the ground

"guess he wasn't too hungry." cain snickered

causing me to laugh

"son, you should at least get with someone attractive. This is just embarrassing." nala scoffed, dramatically flipping her thinned hair

isn't she like my nonna's age?

old people are haters man

"say that to your husband." he scoffed, taking another piece of candy from my bag

"can i enter?" i looked over at the guard, who immediately unlocked the cell door

"careful, i think they have rabies." cain chuckled, eating his chocolate in amusement

i nodded my head, playing along with his joke

"if it weren't for cain, you'd be dead bitch."

"at least he protects me, look at your man. Stuck, right beside you." i cackled, cracking up at my comeback

i wiped the tears from the corner of my eyes, clapping my hands as i walked over to roman

"mio's looking for you, and trying his very best in fact. Too bad he is as smart as his parents." i forced a laugh, slapping nala's shoulder

and she forced one right back, projecting her voice

we stopped at the same time, both rolling our eyes

"cain knew."

"bullshit"

"he knew mia... he's lying to you." roman groaned, closing his eyes to block out the eye-straining lighting

if he knew, he would have ended up like them

"and you knew i slapped you?"

"what? that makes no se-" i slapped him across the face, leaving a red imprint above his beard

"next time it'll be my heel." i walked out of the room, grabbing cain's hand

"let's go" i stormed down the hallway, gripping his hand tightly

"yeah, just cut off my circulation you know." he said, looking down at his hand which i was draining the color out of

"oh- shit sorry." i awkwardly stepped away, playing with my fingers

"i wish i knew. Your parents would still be here."

"i believe you cain, don't worry."

i just hate them

i woke up to the sound of paper bags, and light music

i woke up, looking around

i was still in the car, but the sun was setting

"remember this place?" he chuckled, handing me a bag of food

"i got it while you were asleep." he lightly smiled

"thank you"

i'm starving

i looked around, the place immediately becoming familiar

this is where he took me after getting me food during my pregnancy scare

and i thought he was going to run me off the cliff

"it's crazy coming back here." i looked down, spotting the still ocean beneath the pedestal our car was parked on

i opened the bag, looking back at him

"you okay? you look scared... or nervous." i examined his face

"i cant tell which." i sat back in my seat, biting into my burger

"i'm fine." he rolled his eyes, laughing as he took a fry from the bag

••

we eventually finished our food, and the sun displayed a beautiful ombré before us

we were silent

but not an awkward silence, a comforting one

he got out of the car, walking over to my side

opening the door for me, helping me out the car

we walked closer to the edge of the hill

walking towards a tent set up for visitors

it was white, with a picnic blanket resting under it

we held hands, enjoying the view in front of us

"are you scared of heights?"

"no" i scoffed

i walked closer to the edge picking up a rock and throwing it into the water below

"you must be afraid of them though." i looked back at him

he stayed behind, his hands resting in his pockets

"oh i'm terrified." he sarcastically backed up

i laughed turning back around, enjoying the view

"you really are missing so-" i turned around

he was knelt on one knee, holding a black box in his hand
