Ok idk if it's obvious- nvm
J e y r i~
"You're awake!" Melanie said, rushing over toward me. She paused and scratched her head, "He wants to know if he can come in..." She said pointing toward the door. "Giovanni I mean."
"Oh...ok." Is this his house?
"She said you can!" Melanie said, looking back and the door opened once more before he walked in.
"How do you feel?" He asked, crossing his arms.
I looked between him and Melanie. I almost forgot she's dating one of them, so she isn't scared. I looked down at my clothes and he sighed, "I didn't touch you. I had your friend change you- Melanie washed and changed you."
My eyes widened and I looked up at her, "Thank you." I said and she nodded. He knew I was going to ask about it...
"I'll excuse myself now." He said, clearing his throat, "Good to see you're feeling better."
"Thank you." I said in a small voice and he smiled again, "Nessun problema." (No problem)
The room went silent until he left out the door and Melanie sat down in the chair. "He's pretty intimidating huh?" She asked, placing her hand over my shaky ones, "I heard what happened, I'm sorry."
I bit down on my lip to stop from crying and wiped my eyes, "It was self defense but I killed someone... And... His blood was all over me- I feel gross." I shuddered and shook my head, "How am I supposed to go back home? What if the police-"
"Giovanni's telling everyone that he did." She said frowning, "He walked in when Lorenzo was assaulting you and shot him... That's the word that's going around now."
"Won't he kill me? I-"
"No. Apparently he was a rat anyways, so either way he would've died. You don't have to worry Jeyri, it may feel like this at first... I know trust me, but, it'll be alright. You don't need to feel guilty, or scared. You're safe now." She sat up and reached over to hug me, rubbing my back.

It's not that I felt guilty about killing him so to speak, it was self defense... but the thought that I killed another living being terrified me. I had no choice but to do it, otherwise he would've... but still- how can they just end people's lives like it's nothing and walk away without feeling a thing?
Or maybe he did? The look on his face when he pulled the trigger looked unfazed.
When she pulled away she stood up and clapped her hands, "He brought some of your clothes from your home. Said you might feel comfortable with things you could recognize. They're in that closet over there so, if you want to take a shower again, the bathroom is right by it and you can change into whatever you want."
"Melanie!" I called out to her as she turned around and she paused. She smiled, "Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere."
I stood up slowly and walked toward the bathroom before closing the door behind me. I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed. My eyes were all red and puffy and my face was slightly bruised as well. I grimaced when I touched it and leaned against the sink.
It feels kind of embarrassing knowing two people I barely even know saw me like this... What's more, Giovanni has seen me naked more times than he should've.
I removed the robe from off my body and slowly removed the bandages. There was a small scar there but I didn't want to move around too much in case it opened back up. I ran the water in the tub and washed myself all over again, despite Melanie saying that she had.
I let out a sigh and closed my eyes, letting the water run down my body. I wonder if Melanie's still there. What a day. No, I'm sure the rest of this week will feel even crazier than now. I opened my eyes and I froze. My eyes widened when the water slowly went a reddish color and I slipped down into the bath before letting out a scream.

I know, I know that I'm just seeing things. The blood was all gone after I blinked a few times but I was still terrified.
The door burst open and I slapped my hand over my mouth as I saw Giovanni walk in, his hand on his gun and he looked around before turning to me, "Are you okay?" He asked in a sorta soft tone and I nodded slowly.
Aghh, why does it have to be him again?
He leaned in close to me and I felt my face heat up the closer he came. I covered up my body but he wasn't focusing there anyway. He lifted my face and traced his finger over the scar on my neck before pulling away. He handed me a robe and looked away as I stood up and put it on. He helped me out the tub and I walked hesitantly with him back into the room.
Melanie wasn't there... it was just him and I...
"Do you need me to help you get dressed as well?" He asked after a while of us both just standing there silence and I shook my head quickly. Oh, that's so embarrassing.
I opened up the closet and I was surprised... He really did bring some of my clothes here. I froze as I looked through everything and bit down on my tongue. Why...? Why is there no underwear here?
Should I say something? Oh god, no that's too embarrassing-
"Something the matter?" He asked and I jumped slightly, "Nope!" I said, grabbing the first thing I saw in reaction to him and shut the closet door closed. Just great...
I slipped on the white dress that I had pulled out, over my robe and took the robe off once I was all covered up. It did not help at all the fact that I wasn't wearing any underwear, I felt so much more exposed. I turned around and crossed my arms over my chest and he looked me up and down before clearing his throat. "You look stunning, Jeyri." His expression looked so serious as he complimented me but it still managed to bring a blush to my face.
"Thank you."
He hummed in reply and sat down at the edge of the bed, "In case you were wondering, I told Melanie to leave." He said, rubbing his hand across the silk sheets. He paused and looked at me, "Can you guess why?"
My mind is going places that it shouldn't go right now... and him sitting there isn't helping my case right now.
"Uhm... you wanted to bring me my phone again?" I said, chuckling nervously and he cracked a smile. I can't tell if he found that funny or wants to kill me now. Of course that's not why he sent her out but I joke when I feel nervous sometimes.
He lifted his hand up and motioned me over toward him, "Come here, Jeyri."
I hesitantly walked closer and he pulled me into him, leaving just a few inches between us. His face edged closer to mine and he held his gaze with me. My eyes trailed down to his lips and I immediately looked back up to his eyes.
He placed his hand over mine and it felt like the atmosphere around us was slowly heating up, or was it just me? His expression was more calm and playful than anything. I figured it was either this or he was going to kill me...
He guided my hand lower and lower till I reached his pants and my eyes widened slightly when I felt my fingers brush against something hard.
He leaned his face in closer and I felt his breath hit against my ear. It tickled as he whispered into it and I let out a small gasp.
"Tiralo fuori." (Take it out.)
