《Friends With The Mafia Capo》Chapter XIX
Advertisement
"Mateo, sit down. You don't have to work out with me."
"We only have 3 more days till the deal is over," he says without slowing down.
"Oh shit, already?" I ask.
"Yes, but today is your last day. Tomorrow we are going to Greece."
"Stop," I say as I hop off the treadmill. "We are going to Greece?!" I yell excitedly.
"Yes. Now you have to tell your friends that they need to decide if you guys want to stay or not by dinner tonight," he says slowly stepping off the machine.
"Hey, hey, careful. Let me help you," I declare.
"I have to go upstairs to my office to fill out some paperwork."
I grab his large arm and throw it over my shoulder and head out of the gym. As we step out into the elevator I accidentally bump into the wall. He pulls me closer to him and presses the up button on the elevator. After a few moments the elevator dings, signaling that we are upstairs. Mateo leads us towards the office and opens the door without a problem. To be honest, I don't really think he actually needed my help.
He must have a high pain tolerance I guess.
Inside the large room sits a large, matte black desk and a matching piano on the opposite side of the room. Two priceless paintings are hung behind the large desk and a fluffy white carpet covers the ground, filling the empty space in the room.
Mateo walks over to the piano stool and gestures for me to join him.
"You play?" I ask.
"Yes. Father made us learn when we were young."
He slowly lays his fingers on the white and black keys and gently starts playing a sweet tune. The way he plays makes it seem like he does this so effortlessly. You can hear his raw talent in the way he makes it look so easy. You can hear the technique in the music after years and years of practice. The way his fingers move onto the other keys, the way he looks at me while playing seems so perfect- no- so real.

I look into his handsome green eyes and I forget about my family problems, I forget about college, I forget all the stress that is on my shoulders. I see him, and only him.

Terminal
My heart was shattered that day. It was on that day that I realized that life had an end, and that mine was coming. It was on that day that I realized that I was going to die. Leukemia, they told me. It's almost over. I didn't know what to do after that. I thought that maybe it would be best to die right then, get it over with. I thought that I could push myself away from all my friends, all my family, stop them from missing me after I was gone. I thought that I could handle it on my own, that perhaps the world was better off without me. I was wrong. So please help me, I'm dying. Save me, I'm falling. They tell me I won't survive. Please catch me, because if you don't, I'll shatter. I can't grab on anymore, I can't keep fighting. It's going to swallow me up. My name is Alyssa Gray, and by the time you finish reading this, I'll be dead. ________________________________ A few warnings and things to note: -I've put up the tramatising content tag due to a lot of mentions on death, dying, illness, and a mother who tends to be rather cruel. I know that I take a perspective that many will strongly disagree with, and I'm okay with that. Just be warned that this isn't lighthearted stuff. This is real, and death is real, and this part streaches beyond the fiction into reality. -I'm going to say a minor spoiler, but I don't want it to take you unaware because it is something to be aware of. At one point, my MC attempts suicide and fails. It's a very violent scene and I will put up the gore tag after writing this, and it's also just really depressing. If this will be triggering, you need to be aware of this before you read it. -This is a christian book. It may go against some of your beliefs. I hope that you can read and comment anyway even if some of it does not sit well with you. Credits for the cover go to the user 'Media in Sanity'. Your help and assitance has meant so much to me, God bless you in your writing and your endevours. A proud member of WriTE. I've promised to finish this fiction and update it at least once a month. My schedule is very irregular, and I'm working on that, but I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that this book stays out there. I'm not ending it until it's done.
