Episode 15

We were at home talking and having fun, until we heard the doorbell. I looked at Anthony, and she said she wasn't expecting anyone, so we decided not to open the door. But it was in vain, we heard a noise and went to see. When we got to the living room, the door was on the floor and there were 3 men inside my house. I was already getting scared. Anthony faced them and asked:

Anthony - Who are you? What do you want with us?

Salvatore - My name is Salvatore, and you two are coming with me now.

Ben - We're not going anywhere with you, we don't even know you.

Salvatore - I'm not asking, I'm ordering. Grab them now.

The thugs came closer, but we tried to run away, but it was no use. When the thugs took us to Salvatore, he slapped us so hard that it cut us. They took us by force, put us in a car, and left. When I realize where we are, and who's in front of us, I panic. Matheo is here and Guto too. He starts talking, I don't pay much attention to what they're saying, until I hear Matheo say:

Matheo - You can kill them, I don't care.

That was like a stab in my heart. It may seem too early, but I was liking him. I wanted to get to know him better to see if behind that mask there was a good person, a good heart. But after what I heard here, I have no more willpower. My thoughts are racing until I hear a gunshot.

When I look to where the shot went, I freak out. Salvatore's hand is bleeding. Suddenly another shot, this time it was in his forehead. The two thugs who were with him are already dead. Actually, all of his thugs were dead. When I look ahead, Matheo is approaching. When he gets close, he unloads his gun in Salvatore's face.

Matheo - That's for you to learn never to touch what's mine again. Are you okay? Are you hurt?

When Matheo looks at Benjamin's face, he gets enraged.

Matheo - Did he do this to your face?

Ben - Y-yes.

Matheo - You don't have to be afraid, he will never hurt you or Anthony ever again. Nobody. Come on, let's go home.

Ben - We can't go home, we'll rent a hotel to stay in.

Guto - What happened?

Anthony - He broke down the apartment door, so there's no way to stay there.

Matheo - You are not staying in a damn hotel; you are staying with me.

Ben - I think we better go to a hotel.

Anthony - I think so too.

Matheo was already pissed off, so he picked Benjamin up, put him in the car and gave orders to his thugs.

Matheo - Clean up this mess, and you can get things ready. We're leaving for Italy in two days. No need to tell anyone there, I want to surprise them.

Thug - You got it, boss.

Guto and Anthony get in the car with Matheo and Benjamin. Benjamin was quiet the whole way. He was thinking if Matheo would have the courage to let Salvatore kill him, but he was soon interrupted by Matheo calling him.

Matheo - Ben, what's wrong? Why are you so quiet? Are you still scared?

Ben - No, just thinking... Would you really let him kill us?

Matheo - I would never allow such a thing. You are mine, and nobody touches what's mine. I only said that so I could find an opening and shoot him, which I did. I don't know what's happening to me, but I know I'll never let anyone hurt you. I know I said horrible things to you, and I already treated you like trash, but I want to ask you something: be patient with me. I was raised to be bad, cold, homophobic, and anything bad you can imagine. I would never imagine that I would like a man, so please be patient with me.

Benjamin was surprised by what he heard from Matheo but was willing to be patient with him, after all, you can't control your heart.
