Chapter 9: No One Important
"Romano? Is that you?"
I stood in my doorway frozen, face to face with my brother.
We started at each other for a while.
'Dammit! He found me! What am I gonna do?" I thought frantically. Then a idea popped in my head.
"Wow! We look like twins! That's so cool! Hello there, my name is... Donato! Donato Bello, not 'Romano'. It's nice to meet you! What's your name?" I just kept blabbering on and on in like kids in school do to avoid things. It was very unlike me. I was usually one of those 'leave me alone, you bastard' people.
He cleared his throat, interrupting me. "Veneziano Vargas. That's my name, but I also go by Feliciano or Feli, its nice to meet you too, Donato" he said, adding emphasize to 'Donato'.
'Maybe he didn't fall for it!'
"Is there a reason you stopped by, Feli?" I asked. He tensed as I said his name.
'Dammit! I'm so stupid! Why would you call him Feli?! He would just recognize the way you say it!'
"Yes! I'm looking for my brother! we're twins. He ran away from home and we are all worried sick about him," he frowned and dropped his head.
Lies.
"So if you see anyone that looked like me can you let me know, I'm usually all over Italy so contacting me wouldn't be a problem."
I heard footsteps walking down the hall.
"Who's at the door?" Alba asked.
"No one Alba!" I yelled to her, frantically trying to come up with an excuse.
"Oh! Um I just remembered. We're busy at the moment! Gotta go, Bye." I yelled and slammed the door in his face.
"Lovino? Who was that?" Alba questioned when she finally got to the door. "No one important, Alba" I smiled, actually meaning it.
~RunningAway~~RunningAway~
POV CHANGE!
~RunningAway~ ~RunningAway~
"Who?" I yelled, slamming my fist down on the table.
"D-Donato Bello. He was y-yelling to someone n-named Alba, I think." Chibitalia sobbed.
Austria, Hungary, Chibitalia, and I were talking about what had happened to Feliciano in their living room.
Every time I come here, I'm overcome by the smell of flowers. It's weird.
"Why would Romano pose as this 'Donato' person?" Hungary spoke from the sofa,
"It just doesn't make any sense," We all turned towards Austria, who was he staring out a window.
He then looked at me, "Unless... It wasn't Romano." Chibitalia and I gasped in unison. Hungary looked shocked. I was the first to speak, "What do you mean?"
"Well..." He began, "Feliciano is distraught about losing his twin, right? Anyone could look like Romano to him at this point. It's been months... Almost a year. We have to face the truth. Lovino is gon-" "YOU'RE WRONG!" Chibitalia screamed, interrupting Austria.
The small Italian country then burst into tears, and ran toward his room yelling "Fratello's not gone!" and "I hate you!"
I, too, turned to Austria with hatred in my eyes, "How can you just give up like that?" I spat in disgust.
He sighed, "Spain, we might not be the best of friends, but I can see what this is doing to you. For all we know, Romano can be dead!"
I could feel pricking at my eyes, not noticing the tears threatening to fall until now. I had to be strong. For myself, Feliciano, and Romano.
"Countries can't die." I replied coldly.
He hissed in annoyance, "Yes they can! Just not under normal circumstances! Do you think anyone could live through being shredded alive by a wolf? Or having their heads cut off? Having their organs ripped from them? Everything can die, it's just how life is!" The angry Austrian yelled as he grabbed his car keys and headed towards the door.
I was a bit taken back by his outburst, and stammered, "H-Hey? Where are you going?"
Austria sighed deeply, only stopping for one moment to respond. "If you need me I'll be in Italy."
"Wait, to do wha-" I was cut of by a door slamming in my face.
What is he up to? Why is he going to Italy? My thoughts were cut off by Hungary appearing from the kitchen, with my keys in her hand.
"I, uh, heard what Austria said. I'm pretty sure you want to follow him, so I grabbed your keys." She placed them into my hands gently, and kissed me on the cheek. My face turned a deep hade if red. Hungary smiled, "Please be safe, and please find Romano! Goodbye Antonio!"
"Um, Goodbye Elizabeta."
As I got outside my mind started racing. What the hell just happened?
