Bleeding Love

Chapter 65

Damon

I reached to our room and I saw her sitting on the floor and cleaning a lot glass. "What happened here?" There were shattered pieces of glass all over, I looked and understood that the full length mirror must have crashed. She was startled at my voice. Like I broke her chain of thoughts. She wiped her tears and turned around towards me "um-I-I. It broke" she said stuttering. "How?" I asked puzzled. "I-I actually." She got up. She was fidgeting her fingers "I am sorry, it broke because of me." She apologized.

I reached her turning her towards me with her shoulders. "Look at me" I told her and she lifted her face. "Do you think that I care about this that you broke a stupid mirror? I am asking how? What happened? Are you okay?" I asked her. How could she say that she is sorry, does she really think that I would be angry because a mirror broke. But if she did something like this, she is not okay and that's what concerns me.

I was right because she hugged me tightly crying softly. "Hey Doll. Talk to me baby" I tried to comfort her. I took her hand and I sat on the bed with her in my lap. "I kind of had a panic attack before I came to you. I was so scared I just couldn't handle the threats anymore. The guilt of taking Enzo there, where he was supposed to be killed, regret of letting Ric drawn towards the face of danger, remorse of letting Laeila's killer get away, sorrow of loosing my family and-and fear of loosing you made me loose my mind. It was like the sound of my immoral evil deed kind of trapped me in the chains. How? When did I became such a person Damon? That I could go to the extent of betraying the people I love to save one of them." She said sobbing hard. I hugged her and engulfed her in my arms. I rested her head on my chest. "Shhh...relax Doll. You did nothing wrong baby". I brushed away her hair from her face and wiped her tears. "You did nothing wrong. You didn't put anyone in danger. You didn't betray any of your friends baby. You haven't betrayed me. You know today my trust in you have grown even more. I love you baby and I am proud that I love you . You will never loose me. I promise you." I said and I kissed her. I hugged her again and I felt her relaxing a bit I am sorry Doll that you have to go through this panic attack alone, I will never let you go through such turmoil again. Its my promise to myself.

"What's the plan?" She asked me once she composed herself.

"We will save your brother" I said with a smile to her. At this moment she needs to relax so I took her in my arms she squealed. "Where are you taking me?" She asked all puzzled. I took her downstairs to the kitchen and sat her on the counter. "What are you doing?" as she asked Alysia entered the kitchen. She got all flustered seeing us. "mi dispiace Don. I didn't know you were here." She said turning around. [I'm sorry Don]

"Alysia sugar, there is too much glass broken in our room. Ask someone to clean that up, will ya?" I said to her. " Yes Don" and she left hurriedly. She is so innocent. I hope Julio is not the rat for her sake but my instincts are telling otherwise. This will break her. And her sorrow hurts me. She is also like a child to me. "Don why you brought me here?" Sophia's voice brought me back. And I smiled looking at her. I kissed her on the forehead and said "Because my Doll needs to eat something first" I started looking in the refrigerator what we have. "But Don I am not hungry, seriously." She said the much obvious answer I was expecting from her. "Well say that after you take first bite of my grilled cheese" I said winking at her. "Don really I-" "shh" I kept my finger in her lips before she could complete her protest "I know you are worried. What you have been through,  I know you are scared, you are tensed. Trust me I get that. But right now all you need to do is relax. You have worn yourself out a lot Doll. You need to get a hold of yourself. You can win the fight only when you have your body, mind and soul fit to fight, huh". I said cupping her cheeks.  She nodded in understanding. "You trust me right?" I asked her. "Yes" she said smiling. "Then sit back and relax. Leave it to me. I will-" this time she kept a finger on my lips saying "So che il mio mostro mi proteggerà" she said. [I know my monster will protect me] "Am I dreaming? Since when does my Doll started speaking Italian?" I asked surprised. "I used to learn little bit from Caprice and Alysia sometimes. But I know I talk like an amateur,  lack of practice, I guess." She told me. "Well we can get your practice in routine, how about we start with, ummm, I don't know "ti amo" [I love you] I said kissing her on her earlobe. "ti amo anch'io" [I love you too] she whispered back. "I am impressed Doll. So much that you are going to get my world famous Marinara Sauce along with grilled cheese" I said and she laughed
