A year ago
John took Lizzie by the arm and dragged her up the stairs when they got up she fought him and he pushed her. When he saw here down there he ran back to his room. He thought she was dead. About 5 minutes later she wake up and felt her body ache. She knew something was really wrong. She tried to get up but she fell. She got on her phone and called Carmine for her help.
"I need you John really hurt me." John showed up she was scared he took by the hand pulling her up and she feel back down.
"Get your fucking ass up."
"I can't my leg is broken and I can't stand." He kicked around some then picked her carrying to his room slamming her down on the floor. Lizzie's whole body screamed in pain and she was scared. John stood over her with an evil smile on his face. She closed her eyes as she felt John kick her then John threw her into a mirror. When she opened up her eyes she saw John over with a big piece of glass looking ready to cut her. Lizzie picked up a piece of glass and cut him really deep.
"Bitch." She ran even through she knew her leg was broken, by this time Carmine was there so ran into his arms. John past them running down the stairs holding his bloody cheek.
"Ma I need to go the hospital." She saw the blood all his hand.
"What happened?"
"I fell and get cut real bad." She pulled his hand and saw how deep his cut was and his story didn't add up. Just then Carmine came down the stairs holding Lizzie.
"John tell me you didn't hurt her." He looked away just then Victoria jerked his head towards her.
"John fucking look at me. You're girlfriend looks all beat up. Tell you didn't beat her up and leave her there." Carmine at the moment wanted to tell the truth but what to see what would go down. John passed out and Lizzie was in Carmine's arms crying.
"Someone please tell the truth." Lizzie was thinking about what but she was scared. Victoria knew something was up but no one was talking. They drove to the hospital on the way Carmine whispered to Lizzie.
"Baby what did he do to you?"
"Threw me down the stairs, kicked me in the stomach and threw me into a glass mirror."
"You'll be ok. Tell my mom the truth and she'll help you." she put her head on his chest and fell asleep.
The hospital
They both ran looking really worried as they went to the desk."
"We need help."
"What happened?"
"My son got cut really bad think he lost a lot of blood."
"My girlfriend took a bad fall and looks like she's in lots of pain." Soon they got help and were wheeled into to different rooms. The doctor came to Carmine wanting to know what happened.
"Sir tell me what happened to her."
"She fell down the stairs."
"Are you sure that's all that happened to her."
"I'm not really sure I wasn't there when it happened. She called me to help her."
"We're gonna take her for some x-rays to find out what is really wrong." The other doctor came in to the talk to Victoria.
"Mrs. Gotti we stitched up his cut and he's resting. Tell us what happened."
"He told me his feel and got cut up. He didn't tell me more." Victoria but this time knew how it happened but didn't what to tell anyone. The doctor told Carmine what Lizzie had a broken leg, arm some ribs and lost of cuts down her back. Lizzie was told stay for a couple of days. Victoria sat Carmine down to talk to him about everything that went down.
"Please tell me what is going here. I need to know."
"Ma even if I knew what is going it's for me to tell. You've to ask John or Lizzie." After that she walked to Lizzie's room sat down grabbing her hand.
"Lizzie if John is hurting you, you can tell me. Please don't keep it a secret. I know it was you who cut him. Next time come to me." Lizzie opened her eyes and saw her there and heard every word. What would she tell her?
"Is Carmine here I wanna see him. Thanks for being here there for me." 2 hours later John woke up and saw his mom. He wondered what was happened. He was hooked to blood, he touched his face and felt the stitches.
"Ma what happened?"
"I can't talk to you or look at you."
"What did I do? Whatever I did I'm sorry." She thought you beat you girlfriend so bad that she cut you to get away.
"So you admit it now. You need help."
"Ma serious I don't know what is happened." He closed to eyes to remember it but all he knew he was at school.
"What is last thing you remember?"
"Being at school with Lizzie."
"You got in bad fight and get hurt real bad." He saw Carmine was more confused.
"Ma tell me everything that is going on."
"Your girlfriend got in bad fall and is resting." John looked worried and got up like he gonna leave.
"I'm gonna see her."
"I don't think that will be good idea. You both need to rest."
"I'll see her later.
"I'll be back later." She walked out to the waiting room where Carmine was and sat sown next to him.
"I went to see John and he couldn't remember any of what happened. I'm still mad at him. He wants to see Lizzie.
"Do you believe him?"
"I do he looked so scared and when I talked about Lizzie he cried."
"I'm not letting him hear her in here." When John knew his mom had went home he got out of bed and walked over to Lizzie's room. When she saw him she looked so scared. As he got closer she didn't know what to do.
"Baby are you ok? I heard what happened." She looked at him with a weird look on her face.
"You did this to me and you asking me I'm ok. You're fucking sick."
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you. What did I do?"
"What the fuck is wrong with you. Get the fuck out."
"I really don't know what happened. I woke up lost some of my memory. The last thing I remember is the two of us at school. I'm not playing games with you."
"Listen I just want to you leave. If don't I will scream for Carmine and trust me he'll beat you up." John left he felt that his girlfriend was scared of him. Everyone around him was mad at him
2 days later
Both of them went home from the hospital. Victoria still couldn't talk to John because she knew what he did. When they got to the house Carmine took Lizzie to his room. John went up to his mom looking at her.
"Please talk to me. I'm sick and tired of you not talking to me. I don't what horrible thing I did for you ignore me."
"You really wanna know."
"Yes I do."
"I figured out how you got that cut. You beat up our girlfriend real bad and she is the reason you have cut on your face. I can't believe you ever hit a girl I thought I taught you better." He knew he in trouble he was sure what he would tell her. He couldn't tell her that it didn't happen. Even though he didn't know what happened he told a lie.
"Ma I couldn't do that to here. I love her so much." Victoria trend to him wondering something.
"What do you think happen?"
"She fell that it's it. Carmine was in the kitchen when he heard it and turned to John his was mad.
"That's your excuse for everything right. You'll never admit the truth."
"How I can admit the truth when I don't even know what happened. Carmine didn't have answer for that neither did his mom. John walked upstairs slamming his door.
They moved into a small apartment on long island she was glad she was finally safe that was intill the letters showed up. Lizzie went out to get the mail she saw a weird letter. Then she got home she opened it she stepped back

I'll get you back that's a promise

Lizzie looked out her window in fear before sitting down. It was for the time in a while she was scared. She couldn't wait for Carmine to come home so she'd feel safe. Just then her phone ran it was John she picked it she was scared what would he say to her.
"Hi." She said it with a shaky voice
"So you run away from me and come after you marry my brother. I guess you think your bitch but just wait. I'll you back as mine."
"John it's over deal with it."
"Don't fucking play with me bitch. I say when it's over. You think I don't know when Carmine leaves and comes back. I can come over faster than you hide." She hung up her phone before Lizzie could put it down it rang again it was him.
"Doesn't fucking hang up on me? Just because you married you think you're a slick little bitch. You do it again I'll teach you who the fucking boss is."
"Listen John please leave me alone. What did do to you for you harass me like this?" There was quick pause on the phone.
"I still love you."
"Love me. That we had wasn't love. You spent the relationship beating the shit out of me. That why I ran from you."
"I really did love you. Maybe things got out of hand."
"You're fucking delusional. You raped me and call that love."
"Shut the fuck up. I'm coming over." She heard a click on the phone and get scared. What would he do she thought to herself. When she heard a knock on the door she went to the door.
"Who is it?"
"Open the fucking door." She opened it slowly. John pushed it open and ran towards Lizzie. John grabbed her by the arm he slapped across the face hard. She kicked him in the balls and ran upstairs to the bedroom locking the door. 2 minutes later she heard him ran up the stairs. He banged on the door.
"Open the fucking bitch. If I kick down this door your dead. "After a while he left. Lizzie just stayed in the bedroom with the door locked. An hour later Carmine came home and went upstairs and knocked on the door.
"Get the fuck away."
"Baby it's me Carmine." She opened the door and ran into his arms.
"John was here and tried to hurt me but I got away."
"How did he know where we were?"
"He stalking me and won't give up till him his."
"Baby that won't ever happened. We'll fight." She hugged him tight and cried. She thought by this time it would over. She felt safe that Carmine was here now. Soon it was over when her phone rang it was John.
"You think you hide from me. Next time bitch I'll get you and can't run away. You think because Carmine's here you'll be safe. Think again because I'm scared of my own brother." Carmine grabbed the phone from her.
"Leave us the fuck alone. You fuck with her again I'll make sorry. You may be my brother but I ain't afraid to hit you."
"Carmine please you think I'm scared. If you want we can fight and see who wins the girl." He hung up the phone Carmine knew what would go down. He just didn't know how far it would go down
