//We Run This Town//Chapter 015// Run
Maximo held me tightly, everyone was surrounding us. “We need to go okay, we need to go now.” My knees quivered and gave out but my brother had such a strong grip on me I hardly slipped. “It’s going to be okay, it’s going to be okay.”
“No, no, where is Serge!”
“Shh, we need to be quiet.”
I shoved away from my brother and into a shocked Lexie. No one really knew what was going on. High school drama for all they knew. Lexie shoved me back toward Maximo, and I think a part of me snapped, I whirled around and punched her in the face before whirling back around on my brother. “Where is he!”
Darren grabbed my arms and I thrashed in them, “dude call your dad!” He shouts at Gavin who whips out his cell phone and gets caught looking past the two of us.
“He’s already here.”
The music stopped and the DJ said there was and emergency, and everyone needed to leave through the front doors in a calm orderly fashion. I didn’t notice that nearly everyone but the laws kids, Maximo and myself. I continued thrashing against Darren while Maximo just let me too distraught to deal with me. I kick his shins and he shouts profanity in my ear. Kara steps over and studies her sister, now standing, “you okay?”
“Let me go you son of a bitch!” I shout at Darren. “Where is he!” I shout at my eldest brother.
“What’s going on here?” I look up to see an officer.
“Hi dad,” Darren responds, “you wanna cuff this bitch.”
“Miss Lombardi I presume?”
“Fuck you!” I shout and then I look past him and shout at my brother, “look at me you jackass, where is he!”
“You need to calm down Miss Lombardi,” Detective McCauley tells me.
“You know what’s going on son?” Detective Burke asks Gavin.
“Not really, Max just kind of plowed through us, went and got Lili and then he told her something and she just kind of.” Gavin shrugged, “snapped.”
Detective Burke nodded and Lieutenant Reid came in and looked at his daughters, “who did this Lexie?”
“That crazy bitch did!” Lexie shouts pointing at me and I stop thrashing. “I want to press charges.”
“Let me go you fucking spineless douche tard!” I shout all kinds of random profanities till I feel lightheaded and keep thrashing, Darren still holding strong and shouting profanities of his own.
“Lilianna Caprice Lombardi.” I freeze solid, and turn. My father stands there, “you weren’t talking to my daughter with out her legal guardians now were you Detective Burke?”
“Just trying to get her to calm down.”
“Maybe she isn’t calm because someone is holding on to her, get him to let go of my daughter.” My father seemed to be trying his very best to be calm when he’d much rather rip Darren off of me.
“She’s lost it!” Lexie shouts.
“Your daughter assaulted mine,” Lieutenant Reid says crossing his arms over his chest.
“Get him off my daughter, now.”
“Darren let go of Miss Lombardi,” Detective Burke tells him and Darren slowly lets me go like he expected me to start thrashing again.
“Serge,” I whisper my lower lip quivering despite myself.
“I know sweetheart,” my knees start knocking together again tears start falling and sobs start ripping from my throat making the most painful sound I’d ever heard. It shocked me that it came from myself. My father held me close to him. “Maximo, did you get Gemma Fia to Preston?”
“I sent her with Lucia, Father.”
“Good, call Preston and make sure he’s gotten Gemma to Enzo and Zarah safely.”
“Who, why,” I whispered.
“Shhh Lilianna Caprice,” he ran a hand through my hair in a comforting fashion, my head buried in his chest, his large arms protectively around me. “Do you have any leads... officers.” It sounded like it was killing my father to ask such a thing.
“Gemma is home, Father.” Max replies hanging up his phone, his voice is twisted.
“Leads in what?” Gavin asks and I take my face out of my father’s chest to look around, Gavin seems perplexed, Darren looks pissed like every other time he’s in a Lombardi’s presence, Lexie looked livid and Kara looked worried on all parts, the police officers were calm as could be and Maximo was rubbing his temples looking away from everyone.
“Can’t say son.”
“Who stabbed Sergio!” I shouted pushing away from my father. “Isn’t that what you do, find out who did bad things? Who stabbed my brother,” I scream at them before my father can pull me back to him.
“We don’t know yet Miss Lombardi.”
“Fucking pigs.” I mutter. Rage boiled within me. If I ever found out who hurt my brother...
“Max, take your little sister home.”
“Home!” I pull away again, “why home?”
“You need to go home with your brother Lili.”
“No, why, why aren’t we going to a hospital, I want to see Serge!”
My father didn’t make eye contact with me. “Max, take your sister home.”
Maximo sighs and steps closer to me and I take quick steps back, “no, no, no, where is Serge?”
“Lilianna.” Father looks at me and has a horrible pained expression on his face.
My heart plummets into stomach acid. I whirl around and take off running to the emergency exit and out into the cold night I kicked off my heals that were slowing me down and took off down the street ditching my handbag as well not caring about the contents. I ran but it didn’t cure me. It didn’t stop the thoughts. I run around the fence and take off down the street, I run and run trying to drown out life afraid of what it would do to me when it finally caught up.
