Aurora POV
"I can't believe he fucking did that!" I screamed, as I furiously wiped the tears from my eyes.
Leo yelled back, "You can't really be surprised, sorella (sister). He's a fucking mafia leader!"
"But he's our father," I whispered underneath my breath. "What kind of a father would kill his wife, our own mother!"
Leo sighed and turned to me with tears threatening to fall out of his deep blue eyes, reminding me of that murderous snake. "And that's why we're leaving, Rory."
He continued driving the black Range Rover that we managed to steal from the multiple vehicles that were parked outside our house, practically a mansion. My brother and I snuck out exactly at midnight when father's employees were switching shifts, which gave us a short three minute window to leave undetected.
I watched the trees pass by as we drove further and further away from everything I used to know. My father, the one that used to buy me dolls even though I never played with them, read me Le Petit Prince at night when I couldn't fall asleep, and would always be there for me when I wanted to talk. My father, the one who promised to love me unconditionally, turned out to be the one who hurt me the most.
Suddenly, the car jerked forward. I looked over to the driver's seat and shouted, "Leo! Eyes on the road, manichino (dummy), I'm not trying to get killed here."
Leo gripped the steering wheel until his knuckles turned white. "I just learned how to drive Rory! If you think you can do any better how about you-"
*BANG*
"What the fuck was that?!"
"I don't know, I'm driving!"
"Go check, you're older!"
"Again, I am fucking driving! And only by 5 minutes!"
"Alright, alright."
I glanced over at the rear view mirror and saw a black Mustang with tinted windows, and immediately recognized it as one of my father's cars. I can't believe he actually fucking hit us!
"Oh shit! They're right behind us!"
Unexpectedly, my back hit the seat as Leo sped up. Glancing at the rear view mirror again, I noticed the car behind us was still incredibly close.
Think, Aurora, think. Where could we go? Looking out the window, all that was around us was trees and the single road that we were all on. Fuck, how were we supposed to lose him?
Not too far ahead I spotted an upcoming divide. Suddenly, an idea popped into my head.
"We have to lose the car!" I exclaimed.
Leo turned to me with a bewildered look on his face,"fuck no, are you crazy? All of our clothes and money are in here."
"We have to! Look up ahead."
"Ahhhh, say no more."
Hurriedly, I got up from the passenger seat and reached over to the back to grab our duffel bags which contained everything we needed for our escape. Bringing it over, I left it on my lap.
"Ready, fratello (brother)" I said, feeling the adrenaline rush through my veins.
We were approaching the divide closer and closer, and the Mustang was still hot on our tail.
"This is crazy. This is crazy. Sto per morire (I am going to die)." Leo muttered under his breath.
God, this kid is always overreacting.
Gripping his hand which was still clutching the steering wheel for dear life, I comfortably stated, "we'll be okay, promise. We've got each other."
"Sempre e per sempre?(Always and forever)."
"Sempre e per sempre."
