Riley's pov

"And that's why i decided to stay" i explained to jake the whole thing except the dead body and the whole sex thing .

"Im not dumb"

"You kinda are but im not lying though"

"Mom is worried about your safety while you getting you're cunt sucked"

"Okay eww" that whole sentence made me cringe .

"Im leaving now hope he's worth it"

"Please don't leave mad"

"You're risking your life for a dumb mobster how can i not be mad"

He tried to leave but i grabbed his ankle and held on to it .

"Riley you're not 5 get up"

"No you're my brother you're suppose to love me and not be mad at me"

"I do love you riley but this mafia thing could get you killed"

"Im the safest in this house, he protects me"

"Yeah and could also get you killed"

"So 50/50?"

He rolled his eyes and shoved me off his foot.

"I know he killed my informant"

"Wait what?"

"I sent someone to do some digging and i know matteo had something to do with him being missing"

"You mean the guy that tried to break in was your informant?"

"What happened to him?"

"Matteo killed him" i whispered.

"See this is what im talking about!"

"Jake you don't understand, he broke in obviously he won't be met with presents and a 'how are you'"

"You need help"

"Fuck you"

Wait ... matteo killed Jake's informant ... jake sent someone to spy on me?! What the gauc

"So who gave you the right to send someone to spy on me?"

"Yeah you gave me no choice"

"I fucking hate when you do this always think you know best everything should be done your way we're twins jake i should be treated as your equal"

"You sure are making childish ass decisions"

"Oh like you're so fucking perfect"

"Atleast i didn't kill dad"

I looked at him in disbelief.

"Riley im sorry"

"No i know you meant it" i always had to hear him say that when we would get into a heated agruement. He knows it would hurt me so he just blabs it out like a little bitch.

Matteo came walking in and by his facial expression i knew he was listening in .

I stormed out of the room , ran up to my room and locked it.

I knew he would always blame me for my dad's death even i blame me . Dad always taught us what to do in such situations and i froze up and dad ended up getting shot .

I screamed into my pillow when i heard a small knock on the door.

I unlocked it , ava came in and sat next to me . She's the only one that could comfort me right now. Just looking at her tiny face makes me feel so much better.

"Papa wanted to know if you're okay"

"Im fine"

"Wanna make tea and watch tv?"

"Sounds like a plan"

She stood up and held out her hand for me to take , i took it and got up from the floor . We went downstairs and into the kitchen .

I boiled the kettle and ava and i watched a movie while making the tea.

"What is here to eat?"

"Pasta!"

"Sure why not"

I looked in the fridge and saw leftover pasta .

"Go ask your dad if this is still good"

"Okay" she walked out and i took out the pasta and put it on the table .

"Riley can we talk before i leave for my flight?"

"Ask dad when you arrive in hell"

"C'mon riley im sorry for what i said"

"No ever since it happend you blamed me for something that wasn't in my control last time i check i didn't pull the trigger"

"We were teenagers and i didn't know any better im sorry"

"Look who's saying sorry now"

"I'll forgive you if you forgive me"

"Fine"

"Thank you" he pulled me in for a hug .

"Stop you're gonna make me cry"

"Im gonna miss you"

"Why don't you stay don't you need a vacation after life in the army?"

"I do but mom needs someone around"

"Right mom is she okay?"

"Yeah she just misses you"

"I miss her too I'll facetime her tonight"

"Good"

"Im gonna head out"

"Okay i love you"

"I love you too sis"

He walked out after kissing my forehead .

I watched as he walked off , tears welled up in my eyes and i batted it away .

Matteo and ava walked in .

"You okay?"

"Not really is this pasta good?"

"Yeah the chef made it last night"

"Okay I'll warm it" i put it in the microwave and warmed it .

"Ava go pick out a movie for us to watch"

"Okay papa"

"Riley talk to me" he came around the counter and he placed his hands on my hips.

"There's nothing to talk about"

"I heard what he said"

"I know and yes he blamed me for my dad's death no big deal"

"Seriously riley that's not something to be taken lightly"

"I know i just don't feel like talking about it"

"Fine do you want ava and i to give you some space"

"No im fine"

"You sure?"

I nodded and he kissed my forehead.

"Im always here if you need an outlet okay?"

"Okay thank you" i smiled and he nodded.

"Anytime" he let go of me when the microwave beeped .

I went and took out the pasta .

"You want some too?"

"I could never turn down pasta"

I grabbed three plates and i placed pasta in all three. I handed matteo one plate .

"Grazie mi amore" he kissed my cheek and went to the movie room .

I blew out a breath and checked my phone to see jake is boarding his plane .

I grabbed ava's plate and mine and headed up to the movie room.

"Here you go ava"

"Grazie" she kissed my cheek .

I feel like im getting lots of kisses today ?

I sat down and stared at the huge screen .

"What are we watching?"

"Jexi"

"Nice"
