As I sat there, patting the crying Italian on the back, my phone had started to ring. I scoot away from him, and he looks up at me with his big brown eyes. I take my phone out and check whose calling.

Bella.

I sigh and answer it. "H-Hello?"

"Toni?" she asks. "Is that you? Where are you? I came to the hospital and went to the room and there's just a sleeping boy here."

I take a deep breath. "S-Sorry. You're in the right room, though." I tap my chin. "I'll be there in like, 30 minutes, okay?"

"Okay Antonio." She says happily. "See you soon! ~"

"See you soon, too." I say before hanging up. Feli blinks away the last of his tears. "Should w-we go back to the hospital?" He asks.

I nod and help him up, smiling weakly. "It's alright Feli. Don't cry anymore, okay?"

He nods and rubs his eyes some more. "D-Don't tell fratello I started to cry, okay? H-He doesn't like it when I do because he says it makes me look weak."

I shake my head. It really sounds like Lovi cares a lot for his brother. I would just think that Lovi would let Feli cry and cry.

I guess what Lovi means by 'makes him look weak' is that if he looks weak, people might try to target him. "Come on Feli. Let's get to the hospital before Lovino gets mad."

He nods and smiles a little.

-x-x-x-x-x-

"We're here, we're here!" I called as me and Feli literally ran into the room. Bella was sitting on the edge of the bed, and Lovino and sat up in the bed yawning.

"Hello Toni!" Bella cheered.

"It's about time!" Lovi said at the same time.

I grinned and sighed. "So I see the both of you had a little time to meet."

Bella nodded. "He's so sweet. He always calls me beautiful."

Lovi blushed a little. "Well, you are…"

I roll my eyes, still smiling. I guess Italians are really good with the girls.

Feli stepped forward. "I'm sorry I f-fell asleep before, fratello." He said quietly. "You aren't mad, are you?"

Lovi shook his head. "No. Not at all. I'm just glad you got home safely."

I nod. Lovi really does care about Feliciano.

Bella crossed her legs, looking over at Lovino. "So, how long do you have to stay in the hospital?"

Lovino tapped his chin. "I think they said that I'll be able to leave in a day or two." He looks over at me, and I watch him quietly.

"You'll be alright till then, wont you Toni?" he says with a smirk.

"I'll be fine." I smile and go over to him, patting him on the head. "You just get better, okay?" I say shakily thinking that this was my entire fault.

It was my entire fault he was in here. My fault that he was shot.

My fault that now he and Feliciano will most likely be targeted. Again.

I can't get that thought out of my head! The image of the both of them dead on the floor in a pool or their own blood… as I just stand there and look down at them.

"U-Uh… Toni?" I hear Bella say and I immediately snap out of it, turning to her.

"Are you okay? You just spaces out there for a few seconds."

I nod slowly before smiling and laughing a little. "Yeah. Sorry about that. I was just thinking…"

She tilts her head. "About what?"

My eyes widen and I shake my head. "It was nothing."

She stares at me, almost with a concerned look on her face before nodding. "A-Alright."

Finally, I yawn a little. "Jeez, what time is it?"

"It's around like… 11pm." Bella says after she checks her watch. She herself yawns also. "How long is the visitor stay?"

"Visitors are supposed to leave at 11." A nurse says as she walks into the room. "Excuse me, but you all have to leave now."

I blink and nod, looking over at Feliciano who was looking sadly down at the ground. "Feli," I say.

He immediately snaps his head up, looking at me and tilted his head.

I smiled. "Come on." I looked back at Lovino. "Can Bella and I stay at your house for the night?"

Lovino nodded, and the three of us left after saying our goodbyes to Lovi.

-x-x-x-x-

"Your house is so pretty!" Bella cried out to a blushing Feliciano.

"Yeah… It is really pretty on the outside… but in the inside its really dirty." Feli says, and I can tell he's embarrassed.

Feliciano opens the door slowly, only to see that everything is even more scattered around the house.

"M-Mio Dio! W-What happened here?" He cried out. I pushed him back.

"Let me check around, okay? You stay with Bella."

He nods and I step further into the house.

The door was locked when we left, wasn't it? Maybe it was just this dirty when we left.

No… We would have noticed that it was messy. And Feliciano wouldn't have been so surprised when we came inside if it was like this before.

After checking the kitchen, I go up the stairs quietly.

"Anyone up here?" I call out loudly, sliding through doors of peoples rooms.

I hear a loud scream come from downstairs—but I can't tell whose it is.

"A-Antonio! Antonio!" I hear Bella scream before I hear shouts of distress and Feliciano screaming.

I run down the stairs, nearly tripping down every step. Bella's sitting on the ground, but not in a pleasant way. She looks like she's been pushed down, and she's sitting there with a stunned face.

"Where did Feliciano go?" I call angrily to her.

She turns to me, blood stained her cheek. She then shakes her head. "T-They took him."

"Mierda!" I run over to the door quickly, looking around for anybody at all.

The only thing I see is a ragged line of blood on the sidewalk. What I'm thinking is that they must have hit him, got him to bleed and dragged him into a car and drove off after they knew I was coming down. Hell, Feliciano could be dead by now.

I can't take this anymore. Why is everybody getting in trouble? Why did I join this Mafia? ...It's my fault. It's my entire fault. I'm the one who gets everyone killed.

I turn back to Bella, who's crying—no, bawling now. I walk over to her and pat her back, rubbing her gently.

"It's alright, Bella. You didn't do anything. No llores, okay?"

She nods and I help her up, wiping Feliciano's blood off her cheek with my sleeve.

"Now, tell me what exactly happened." I tell her. My mind was running right now. Should we have gone after Feli? I should have taken them both up the stairs to look with me…

"W-Well… I don't really know what happened…I-I… All I remember was just standing there with him… and all of a sudden… a f-fist came out of no where and knocked Feliciano down. I screamed, and the g-guy just jumped up onto him. They started struggling for awhile and one guy covered my mouth. I bit h-his hand and he let go, a-and pushed me down… that's when I yelled for you… They pulled F-Feli back up and s-stabbed his shoulder a-and the blood got on me…" She covered her face with her hands.

"I don't understand why they o-only took him, not me."

I shake my head. "I don't understand either…"

But I understood.

I understood damn well.

My fault. Again.

Since Feli had shot all those people… I guess they were from the same Mafia they were from. So they were pissed. Feli had probably shot the Boss. So they came back for Feliciano. Maybe they thought that Lovi has shot them, but could only find Feliciano? Maybe they just knew Feli had shot them? Maybe somehow someone survived and told them?

I put my hand on my head and rub my temples. Shit, my head hurt.

"I-I need to call Lovi. Do you remember the room's number?"

Bella took a minute before nodding and called him on her phone. She was still sniffling, so she said she couldn't call and tell him.

As Lovi answered, Bella stepped out of the room.

"Hmm? What is it?" He says rather sweetly.

"It's me." I sighed.

"Oh. Why the hell are you calling? I'm trying to get some sleep, you know! Damn! So should you!"

I smile a little. Only for a second.

"Feli's gone. They came and just took him. Stabbed him in the shoulder and dragged him away…"

Lovi took a minute. "Who?" He said rather coldly.

"I don't know. I didn't see them. Only Bella did. We came home and it was really messy, so I went to check around the house and I heard Bella scream. But I was too late. I think it was people from the Mafia that we saw before. What I think is that they guy that shot you was the Boss… and since Feliciano killed him, they wanted revenge."

Again, Lovi was silenced for a little.

"I guess the best thing we can do is tell Alessa tomorrow and go on a search. I'll try to get out of the hospital early…"

"No, Lovi. It's fine. Alessa and I will go. Maybe she can bring a few others…-"

"Antonio. I'm going. This is my fratello we are talking about.

"I…Alright… I guess you're right…"

"Okay. Just…. Get some sleep, okay?" Lovi sighs loudly.

I nod, even though he can't see it. "Mhm…"

"Night Toni."

"Night Lovi."

He hangs up first before I can assure him everything will be alright. I stand up to go find Bella, to give her back her phone. But when I find her, she's curled up on the couch, already fast asleep.

I smiled a little, leaving her phone on the floor before falling down into one of the chairs, hugging my knees to my chest.

The worst thing to do is start crying.

But that's exactly what I do.
