Chapter Seventeen

I woke up with his shaft in my mouth. He is pulling my head with him; his hands pulling my hair back and forth. I bit down and he screams. “YOU BASTARD!” He shouted at me and back hands me across the face. My head is throbbing, my bones is throbbing and bruises are all over me. My lip is all split opened. He put on his pants and walked towards the door. Once he opens the door someone shoves him backwards and slams him against the wall. Who is that? He looks so familiar? The guy from the car that has been following me it looks like. Charles falls to the ground and is out cold. The guy turns to me. I remember who he is… “D-D-Dad?” I stuttered. He runs over to me and gives me a bottle of water. “I’m here son. Don’t worry. Dads here.” He said and pulls me closer to me as I chugged the water. He grabs the keys from Charles and unlocks the chains. My dad grabs something from his back. He pulled out a gun. “Dad no!” I shouted. I pulled the gun out of his hand. “I want to do this.” I barley say. I shake as I point the gun towards Charles. Instead, I put the gun down and walk slowly over to him. I am so weak. I start kicking and punching him. I started crying but I didn’t stop. “YOU BASTARD!” I shout as I hit him over and over again. Dad pulls me away and I just cry into his arms. He turns my head and a gunshot fires three times. “The police is on their way. They should be here anytime.” My dad informed. I couldn’t stop crying. He picked me up into his arms, bridal style and walked me out of the room. We walked down a set of stairs and made it to the outside. An ambulance and police was running to me. “There is another inside. He is dead now.” My dad tells the police man. They run inside the house. The paramedics put me on the bed. “Don’t leave me.” I tell Dad. “I would never… Never again.” Dad said and held onto my hand as they put me into the ambulance. Everything started to fade black.

I heard beeping coming from the machines. I tried opening my eyes but I couldn’t. Come on Oliver. You can do this. I kept trying but I couldn’t. Then I felt someone grab my hand. It was Matt. I know his touch. It was Matt. I tried opening my eyes again. This time the opened slowly. “M-M-Matt?” I stuttered. “Shh… I’m here.” He says and smiled. I forced a smile. I look over and seen my mom and dad talking across the room. They look over at me and run to my side. “Oh thank god.” Mom says and hugs me. I grunt in pain. “Sorry.” She apologizes and kissed my forehead. I look over at dad and smiled. “Thank you…. For saving me.” I said. He smiled and kissed my forehead. “I will never let them hurt you again.” He said sincerely. “Can you give me and Dad a moment?” I ask Matt and Mom. They nodded and left the room. “There was this Italian guy… He said you killed his cousin which was Charles brother.” I informed him. He gulps. “There is things you can’t know Oliver. Things that will get you killed. That is why I left this family. I could not risk you guys getting killed. I never knew what happened to you until they called me a few days ago. I was in Paris. I was on a plane immediately.” He said and grabbed my hand. I looked him into the eyes. “The things I learned and been through the past years, I am pretty sure I can save myself. And I could handle anything.” I giggle. My bones start to ache. He walks over and shuts the door and shuts the blind shades. He walks back over to me and pulls up a chair. “I am a leader of a mafia gang. It ran in the family. I didn’t want you to have that life. We are the top mafia. We killed Charles brother because he was doing business that risked us getting exposed. I made the choice. So that is why they were after you. To get to me.” He informed me. Tears started to form in my eyes. He is a gang leader? The mafia? How come he never told me this? I could have handled the truth. Who knew my family would be part of a mafia. Well, they are not part of a mafia….. They are the mafia. I nodded and pushed back the tears. “You can’t tell your mother.” He begged. “I won’t dad. If you promise me something.” I looked over at him. “What’s that?” He asked. “Promise me that you will be careful. Watch your back. And never trust anyone.” I mock what he said to me in the letter. He laughed. “Of course. I promise.” He kissed my forehead. He opens the door and my sisters run into the room and run by myside. “Are you ok?” Liv and Ana asked at the same time. I nodded. They laid their head onto my chest so they could hug me. Matt walks into the room and smiled. “Hey.” I smiled back. My dad looks at Matt and back at me. “I had a conversation with Matt already….” My dad says. My eyes widen and my sisters laugh. “Don’t worry. I approve son.” He smiled at me and patted Matt’s shoulders at he walked out. “Can you give me and Matt a second?” I asked Liv and Ana. They nodded and walked out. Matt walked over to me. “Someone wanted to come see you...” Matt said and Rachel walks in. “Hi… Oliver.” She says and walked over to my side. “You should be more careful.” She touched my bruises. I started laughing. “I will keep that in mind Rach.” I rolled my eyes. “I seen your article in the news. And I had no idea that that little boy was you. I couldn’t even imagine what you went through. I mean wow. Really. Technically why you have panic attacks is because of the trauma you went through. Matt told me the panic attack thing. He said it gets bad sometimes. You should see a psychologist. It will help you.” She says and walks out of the room. I started laughing and so did Matt. “Your sister talks a lot of smartness.” I pointed out. “Tell me about it.” Matt said and kissed me. I wince in pain. “Sorry….” He said. “It’s fine. Come here.” I pulled him down and kissed him back. My lips throb in pain. But I missed him like crazy. “I looked for you every day. I did not sleep at all until I knew you were ok. Carter was screaming at me because I wouldn’t sleep. So was Bailey and Blake. But they helped too. Everyone did. Shit, the whole town was looking for your ass. You became more popular than anyone. You was all over the news. Oh, reporters are lined up like crazy out front.” Matt pointed out. My heart broke into pieces. Who knew people actually cared about me. I would never think the whole town would be looking for me. The unpopular crazy psycho… They was all looking for the loser. I feel loved. I laughed in my head. “Promise me something.” I asked him. He looks up at me and raised an eyebrow. “Promise me that you will never leave me. Because I don’t want to lose you ever. I am beyond happy. I never have been this happy. You make me complete. I may be high maintence with all the panic attacks and shit. But I love you. I love you so fucking much. No matter what I do or go through you are here. And I love you for that. So pro-“ I started to say and his lips crashed into mine. I kissed back instantly. I wrapped my arms around his neck to deepen the kiss. I love this guy so much. I didn’t know what love was until I had Matt. He is the best thing to ever happen to me. He leaned up at looked at me into the eyes; with our foreheads against each other. “I promise.” He said and kissed me again. My heart melted like a volcano erupting. He leaned back up and sat next to me. “I will never leave you. You are my one hundred and ten percent. Nothing will ever change that. If I could deal with you this long, I can deal with you even longer. Because I am crazy in love with you Oliver Parks.” He tells me while holding my hand. I smiled so big that my smile would be bigger than this world. I heard awes coming from the door. I look up and it was Bailey, Carter, Blake and Tania. Bailey ran over to me and I hugged her so tight. Ignoring the pain. She cried into my shoulder and I did the same. “I am so glad you are ok Ollie.” Bails cries harder. “I love you Bails.” I cried out. “You know there is shit load of reporters down there? You are famous now love.” Tania says and everyone laughs. “Come here.” I demanded and hugged her. “You too.” I tell Carter. She smiles so big and runs over to me. I have the greatest friends and the best boyfriend anyone could ask for.
