Chapter 27: S̶t̶r̶a̶n̶g̶e̶r̶
I've never seen so clear in my life.
I remember.
I remember everything.
Every breath I took while unconscious in my own body. Every step, every thought that crossed my mind.
Every action.
I remember. I remember.
My body has been in control for so long, my mind encased behind bars. This new feeling of power my mind holds is almost ethereal.
Freeing.
The water splatters onto my clothes with every step I take.
I remember. I remember.
For the first time, I control myself and I have only one destination in mind. By the time I reach it, the moon is already high in the sky, framed with angry grey clouds. The trees drip with water, the cool breeze ruffling my shirt. And then I see them, where they lie. Their tombstones are silver under the midnight sky.
It's my brothers.
Two Russo brother's dead and only one remains. Sometimes I wish it was Matteo or Lorenzo who lived instead of me. But, both my brothers would rather be dead than take over father's business. So, why am I okay with it?
I sit on the wet dirt, legs crossed, head bent. There's no fight in me, I realise. There's hardly anything left. I feel hollow, like a wooden doll.
"Alek?" I know it's Diego.
He sits beside me. We sit together.
Our silence speaks for us.
And we stay there for a very long time.
