Recap:

Just as I think that Giovanni came into the room with Dustin in his arms. I was so happy to see the little boy and he seemed just as equally happy. He wiggled out of his father's arms and jumped into my lap. He was so calming I finally felt peace. Maybe just maybe I could be okay again, I could build back my broken pieces. No I don't need to fix them, I'll make myself better. I grow in everyway I can possible.

Song gasoline goes with the chapter.

So without any further delay let's get mafia monday started!

Little Dustin was laying in my arms sleeping peacefully. He was so cute, so innocent. I wanted him to hold onto that but it was highly unlikely with his father's life style. In a way I resented Dustin for his innocence, wishing I had mine. I wanted to make sure that he was protected, loved, and happy. He should never know this life, not be tainted or destroyed by it.

The door opened quietly and in came Giovanni's brother, Alessio. His face was serious, a hint of anger in his eyes. I knew it wasn't direacted at me, but then who? He quietly closed the door behind him, not wanting Dustin to wake up. Then he stood there and watched me, and I watched back. He of course spoke first, "Mi dispiace, I am sorry for how my brother has been treating you piccolo." Although I didn't know all the words coming out of his mouth I nodded and gave him a small smile. I was almost about to speak but I remembered that he would punish me if I did.

He ran a hand over his face as he sighed, stress evident in his face."I taught him better then that, my little fratello. He knows how he should treat a lady. But I am handling his punishment myself." he took Dustin with him as he left, the kid still sleeping. Maybe I'm being ridiculous by not talking, no one is here to hear me. Maybe it'll help me feel better to hear my own voice. It really has been a while, I miss feeling semi alive.

Singing sounds good right about now since I haven't in a while. I'll sing the song the room next door is always blasting, it sounds so nice. They are playing it right now actually, so I decide to sing along.

Are you insane like me?
Been in pain like me?
Bought a hundred dollar bottle of champagne like me?
Just to pour that motherfucker down the drain like me?
Would you use your water bill to dry the stain like me?
Are you high enough without the Mary Jane like me?
Do you tear yourself apart to entertain like me?
Do the people whisper 'bout you on the train like me?
Saying that you shouldn't waste your pretty face like me?

And all the people say,

"You can't wake up, this is not a dream,
You're part of a machine, you are not a human being,
With your face all made up, living on a screen,
Low on self-esteem, so you run on gasoline."

Oh, oh, oh, oh,
I think there's a flaw in my code,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
These voices won't leave me alone,

Well my heart is gold, and my hands are cold,

Are you deranged like me? Are you strange like me?
Lighting matches just to swallow up the flame like me?
Do you call yourself a fucking hurricane like me?
Pointing fingers cause you'll never take the blame like me?

And all the people say,

"You can't wake up, this is not a dream,
You're part of a machine, you are not a human being,
With your face all made up, living on a screen,
Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline."

Oh, oh, oh, oh,
I think there's a flaw in my code,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
These voices won't leave me alone,

Well my heart is gold, and my hands are cold.

The song has so much meaning, gives me peace. I hear clapping coming from the door and my smile vanishes. When I turn to see who it was, Giovanni is standing- well leaning painfully against the door. His face was covered in bruises and his bottom lip was split. As he walked- more like limped into the room I could tell his brother kept his promise and made Giovanni pay. I still grimaced at the sight of him, why was he even walking around looking so messed up? I waited for him to speak, I wasn't going to be the one to do it first.

When he finally did speak his voice was rougher and weaker than usual. "Mi dispiace principessa. I have done wrong by you, things have happened that I cannot take back or unsay. You truly deserved better treatment then this." His words where surprising, he doesn't seem like the type to apologise. I was never really mad at him though, I got up from the bed and he looked confused. I grabbed his hand in mine, leading him to the bathroom where I knew a first aid kit was under the sink.

He sat down on the toilet as I pulled it out, waiting for what I would do next. I took out rubbing alcohol and some tissue so I could clean his cut lip. He wasn't bothered by the stinging pain like I would have been, and I was happy for that. We where so close I could feel his breath on my own lips. Just a little closer and we would be- no it was to early to have such thoughts. I went back to cleaning him up and when I was done he looked much better than before. He stood up slowmy holding his side as if it was hurting him. His brother certainly did a number on him. With gentle hands I tugged his shirt up slowly too see how bad the damage was. I gasped as I saw the large black and blue marks the scarred his beautiful skin.

He must be in so much pain yet he walks around like this. I pull it up further and he helps me take it all the way off. Besides the obvious pain in his eyes, they shined with amusement and another emotion I couldn't read. I blushed however, realizing how bold I had just acted. I sat him back down, taking out the necessary supplies and put them on him. No words where spoken this whole time, none in all truth none where needed. It was a comfortable silence, one I wished would last a long time.

Things felt like they would get better from here on out. At least I hoped they would.
