ONE YEAR LATER
I am sitting on the bench outside the school, waiting for Sandro to pick me up. School is almost empty, and clouds are forming.
I hope it will rain today.
I love rains.
Life is beautiful. Too beautiful to be true. I never thought I'll be saying this one day.
But I love my life and every person who is part of it.
A single tear dropped my eye as I removed it with the back of my hand.
He left.
Just like that, no explanation. Nothing.
I atleast deserve a goodbye.
Or he could have talked.
I thought everything went perfect last year when we three went to club together, and it was going perfect.
But what happened after that?
I opened my phone texts looking at them, just my texts and calls. No replies.. No call back...Nothing.
But I am me. I always try and will keep trying until he gets his shit together and talk back.
To Shithead:
𝘏𝘦𝘺, 𝘐𝘵𝘴 𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯.
𝘐𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘢 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳, 𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘰𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘦.
𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘥.
A single rain drop grazed on my cheek and I cursed mentally at Sandro.
Just then the car honked in front of gates, and Sandro ran over to me huffing.
"I am soo sorry,baby.. I got struck in some work" He grabbed my bag with one hand and my hand with other.
"Next time, I am gonna take a cab" I chuckled teasing him.
"No! You won't. I promise I'll be on time next time" He ruffled my hairs making me pout and we went inside the car.
"Excited for tomorrow?"
"Yeah!" I chuckled tightening the seat belt around me.
"I can't believe my baby gonna turn eighteen soon!" He fake cried hugging me.
"Sandro! Look in front!" I gasped as he just smirked twirling the steering to the left.
God, he will get us killed one day!
As we reached home, I was welcomed with a smack on my head and I almost fall.
Fucker Luca!
"What's wrong princess?" He smirked knowing fully well how much I hate it when someone touch my head.
"Leave her god sakes! Luca!" Brian shouted from kitchen as I gave a deadly glare at Luca throwing my bag at him and ran towards the kitchen.
"When will Alex return?" I asked munching on the salad which is somehow good for me as Brian said.
"Don't worry Lily. That bastard will never skip your birthday, hmm?" He said chuckling and I smile widely.
Offcourse.
I walked over to my room laying down on the bed sighing. I am soo excited for tomorrow.
I'll be turning eighteen soon.
The legal age of doing everything I have already did before.
Irony much..
Closing my eyes, my thoughts wandered to him again.
In this whole year, he has just connected me once. Just once.
𝘍𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 ~
Getting a starbucks from the cafe across our school, I decided to stroll over a little wandering around.
Ping of my phone pulled my attention, as I pulled it out, my eyes widened looking at his name.
After seven months, he decided to text me?
"Walk fast and turn left at the corner"
Huh? Is it by mistake?
I looked around but saw noone there.
"Why?" I texted back and he called me directly.
I gulped thinking if I should pick up.
It will be awkward, won't it?
Fuck it!
"H-Hello?"
"Do as I say, walk fast now, 𝘥𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦"
My heart skipped at his voice, that hoarse voice which has turned more deep in these last months.
"Now, 𝘥𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦" And I did, I walked pretty fast and turned the first corner which leads me to some alleyway.
"At your right, there's a car. Go ahead and get inside"
"Are you inside?" I asked my voice too soft for my liking.
"Just go and sit"
I licked my lip nervously before getting inside the black Suv. The doors get locked immediately abd I gulped nervously.
I heard a gunshot inside making my eyes widen as I look back but nothing.
"𝘋𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘧𝘢𝘤𝘦, Call Alexander and send him your location. Tell him it's fucking black dragons"
"Are you here?H-Hello? A-Andrew?"
And there he goes again in a ghost mode.
I dialled his number again and again but all went to vain.
So I send my location to Alex and called him to pick me up which he did gladly.
"You okay, 𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘢?" Alex asked as he pulled me out of car and I nodded. Just then I noticed, two bodies on the side, blood spilling out from their chests.
"Y-yeah.. I-Its b-black dragons" I mumbled still shaken up. He looked at me confused.
"A-Andrew ca-called. H-he asked me to sit inside. H-he t-talk to me,A-alex."
"Shh, Its okay" He cooed pulling me into his embrace as he cleaned my teary face.
"I-I miss him" I whispered and he nodded, "I know you do, 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘢. I'll find him and fucking bring him to you" He said firmly.
𝘍𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 ~
Except from this, he never once called nor texted.
I asked Matteo, but he said Andrew just vanished. Though his mafia is rising, but the noone has seen the leader whole year.
Matteo also missed him, he never says it, but I can see it in his eyes. He just got his bestfriend back that night, and next day he lost him again.
Fuck you Andrew!
"Lily! Can I come in?" I heard Leonardo's voice.
Wait Leo?!!!
I jumped from the bed opening the door and crushed him into a hug tightly.
"Damn, 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘷𝘦.. Too strong, aren't we?" He chuckled picking me up and went downstairs.
"Where we going?"
"It's a surprise"
"My birthday is tomorrow, real one this time" I laughed and he shake his head in nodding.
"Your brothers has strictly told me not to get you somewhere tomorrow, so we are celebrating one day before" He winked.
"I want her back by exact ten" Brian shouted from kitchen and Leonardo rolling his eyes shouted a huge yes back.
We walked side by side to his car, I sat down on the passenger seat, meanwhile him in driver seat.
"You driving today?" I asked opening the dashboard grabbing my M&Ms I left here two days ago.
"Hmm" His hand rested over my seat head as he looked back pulling the car out in reverse.
"So where to?"
"Surprise, 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘷𝘦."
I hate surprises!
No, I kinda love them! I just hate to wait for them.
"You can get comfortable, it's a long drive" He spoke after minutes and I nodded. Removing my shoes, I sit criscrossed over the seat with a pack of chips and chocolates in my lap.
What, I am hungry.
Whole drive, he kept on arguing me over on Thor.
He thinks thor is not hot!
How can he even think like that?
I mean, just fucking look at that man..!
"Fuck fine! He is okay!" He sighed rubbing his temples making em chuckle inwardly.
He is so cute! Like a teddy bear!!!!
I will cry!
You are being weird, now.
Oh okay.
"Here we are!" He clapped his hands dramatically as he ordered me not to move, going out and coming over to me, he opened my door pulling me out.
"Woah! What's this?" I asked looking around astonished. It looks like a park but too empty.
"Let's go, to be birthday girl" He chuckled as We went inside. Me looking around and on the verge of jumping like crazy.
My jaw literally dropped when we entered, It's a whole amusement park with so many colourful rides and counters.
It felt like a dream.
"How's it?" He asked looking nervous?
"So great! So fucking beautiful! And sooo huge!! We gonna get on every single ride, Leo!" I jumped and grabbed his hand running towards the ferris wheel.
"Hey, hey, Calm down girll.. It's all yours" He chuckled and I stopped looking at him confused.
Did he book the whole amusement park for me.
"I bought it for you."
W

F
"Excuse me, what?" I narrowed my eyes which only insignifies his smirk wider..
"This park is yours, 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘷𝘦. Come here anytime you want.. No public will be allowed as long as you don't want to offcourse."
"You got to be kidding me" I whispered still looking at him flabbergasted. But he just shrugged in response.
"Let's go" This time he grabbed my hand with a small smile pulling me along him on the ferris wheel.
He removed his coat hanging it over his shoulder as we sat inside.
And It starts, I leaned over the railing looking down.
"For god sakes, Lily. Don't fall" He sighed for the nth time today.
"Woah, Leo look down! Look down!"
"Yeah I am"
"It's soo big!!" I respond as we can see the whole park from top and it look ethereal. I don't think I can explore it all in a single day.
It will take atleast three four days.

"Lily! I will ban you from coming here, if you lean over once again" Leo shouted as we are now on roller coaster.
I just smile sheepishly before getting back. It's his fault he took me here.!
"Wall climbing?" I wiggled my brows and he cussed under his breath before nodding.
We have ride most of the rides today, and poor Leo is on the verge of tears.
I am tired too, but I guess my excitement pay off.
"Remember me, never to take you here again" He huffed before he got down from the wall removing the wires and stuff.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever" Rolling my eyes, I walked over to the food counter.
"Hey sir, Can I please get a huge size pizza, with a coke and cheese noodles and a full plate of momos"
"In a minute, boss" He said and just then I noticed a gun on his waist.
Don't tell me he has assigned his trained men on food counter.
"It's Lily, by the way"
"Oh yes, 𝘧𝘰̈𝘳𝘭𝘢̊𝘵.. 𝘔𝘪𝘴𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘭𝘺"
I just nodded confused as he went at the back barking orders in I guess Swedish?
"𝘓𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘷𝘦, we don't have to wait here. He will bring orders on our table" Leo spoke as we sat down on the table a little away from the counter.
"It-Its too much Leo.. You didn't have to buy the whole park, y'know"
"C'mon, it's my 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘥𝘰𝘷𝘦'𝘴 18th birthday.. You deserve much more then that, Lily.. And This is nothing" He smiled and I can't help but to get up and gave a huge bear hug to him which he immediately returned.
_______________________
"Bye!!!!" I shouted from the door as Leo nodded from his seat waving back and drove off.
Here I am, wearing a mickey mouse cap, my wrists full of colourful twinkling bracelets and my hands full of chips and chocolates.
"Woah, woah. Here let me hold" Luca spoke as he noticed me walking inside with such a difficulty.
"So, where did he take you?" Sandro asked coming out of nowhere and I plopped myself on the couch.
I am soo tired.
"He got me an amusement park on my birthday" I laughed and their reactions were worth looking at.
Luca look confused menawhile Snadro just smirked shaking his head.
"Got you? Like booked an amusement park for you?"
"Umm no.. Like buy an amusement park and gifted it to me"
"Well, that's crazy" Luca chuckled before coming forward and kissing my temple.
"I am going out for a while. Will be back, hmm?" He said before leaving.
Is Alex back yet?
Before deciding to check, I went to my room, wearing Luca's hoodie and my shorts with fluffy socks. I paddle over to Alex's room.
Locked?
I made my way to his office and went inside, but he was nowhere there.
It's already eleven at night. He's not planning to skip my birthday, is he?
Offcourse he won't.
But I want him to be the first one to wish me at twelve today.
Huffing over, I walk back to my room and lay down on the bed.
No, No wake up.. You can't sleep before twelve. Opening my eyes, I look at the ceiling trying my best to keep my eyes open.
Just half an hour left.
Alex still hasn't come back.
Is Luca back?
I hope so.
Yawning, I flipped on my side, my hands under my face, the cold breeze coming from window isn't helping much to keep me awake.
Just ten more minutes.
*𝘺𝘢𝘸𝘯
Just two minutes.
*𝘺𝘢𝘸𝘯
One minute.
*𝘺𝘢𝘸𝘯 *𝘺𝘢𝘸𝘯
*𝘺𝘢𝘸𝘯 *𝘺𝘢𝘸𝘯
And slowly everything turned black.
