My Decision

I woke up in my bed with my eyes still puffy I feel my voice stinging through my throat and then I see my phone light up

< 20 missed calls from: Diego >

< New message from: Diego - Call me!>

Oh my god Diego probably found out but how are my brothers? I really don't know but I'm gonna find out I guess

I press the call button to call Diego and he picks up almost immediately

"Sophi" he says and his voice is raspy probally from all crying

"Yes?" I say confused and waiting for what he is about to say

"You can come back home, with father dead I can take you home I'm the leader now you can come home" He says with a slight happiness but sadness lingering in his voice

"I can!" I say exited but then I realize

Alessio

I don't want to leave him I don't want to, how do I do it?

I have to be with my brother I don't want to leave them either

But I have to be strong

"Okay I'll come back" I say to my brothers a little unsure with My decision

"we are moving to England" he says and that's where it hit me

"What do you mean where moving to England?!" I say so shocked and confused

"We have better chances at succeeding as a mafia" I was dumbfounded what the hell

But he's my brother and he knows best in this mafia stuff

So I agreed

"Fine" I said then I say my goodbyes and go to Alessio and I knock on his office

"Come in" he says I enter the room and see him he's doing some kind of paperwork

"I'm leaving" I said swallowing the gulp in my throat he looks up at me and emotions flood his eyes then he clears his throat and the emotions just shut down

His expression was hurt and know it's... cold

"That's fine" he says returning to his work and I leave the room then I go out of the house and go to my car as I enter my car I begin to start rethinking my decision I feel my heart beat faster

I start driving and my throat feels dry and a lump in my throat my eyes prickle but I swallow them back my head spins with possible outcomes and possible scenarios but all lead to hurt and hurt

I can't be that girl I need to be strong I'm in the mafia and I can't be showing vulnerability especially in this situation I can't be fighting this I have to let go but why is it hard it's not like we where a thing..

I drive my we go my house and knock on the door

My brothers come running to me and hug me there expression is light and genuine they are actually happy but there is still sadness leaking through there gazes

"Sophia!!" Alex comes running and hugs me right away and then Diego gives me a smile then hugs me his arms wrap around me tight in a genuine hug that makes me smile and almost cry

I look at the side of the door and there are a few suitcases left and then I realize this is it this is where I have to be strong and build thoese barriers I have to be strong

Diego nods and then we go into the car that's is supposed to take us to the airport the airport smells clean and conversations overlap as we walk through mobs of people

We arrive at this place ground with a bunch of places and small and big places until we stop by one with bold letters on the wing that says "Costello"

We go into a private jet that our father had but never dared to tell us apparently I guess he used this when he would go to 'work'

We enter the plane and I sit in the seats of the plane I sit in the back while I start getting comfortable but something is priming at me not physically but mentally

A woman in a nice uniform with curled blonde hair looks at me as she walks over

"Would you like some wine Ms. Costello?" She says with a nice tone and a genuine smile but she seems tried and it looks like she need the wine more than me

"I don't drink but can you get me some water please?" I said softly and she nodded she walks to the back of the plane and gives me a cup of water

As the women leaves I glance at the window and look outside we pass clouds and lights of the city and then the sea

The blue sea

I look over the beauties of nature then my mind drifts to Alessio and then my decision

And then the bigger question appears, was my decision the right one..
