PART II

The hurt, honesty and him

Chapter 10

Aliyana

Present day

“So Lorenzo died, and the Misfits dissipated after that, what happened next? You met Marco?” Salvatore questions. It is the middle of winter in Seattle, 2 weeks before Christmas. I have since taken a seat at the podium of the Church. It has been years since I’ve stepped foot in this place. It looked different but the memories of the day I married my Marco still linger like in this Church, like a dark cloud.

“Well, we met the night Ren died, and again leading up to his burial. After that, it was a short-lived romance. Marco kissed me a few times. At the time I felt like he was the only one who could cure the loneliness in me. But it was so sudden, and before I knew it he was with someone else. Camilla JUST popped up into the picture and Marco broke my heart. I was devastated. I didn’t know why he chose her so suddenly when just a few days before that he was looking at me like I was more than just a passing phase,” I confess. At the time I didn’t understand any of it. My naïve mind only knew what it saw, and my body understood its feelings.

“When I look back on that time, I think a part of me looked for a lot of reasons to hate him, but every time I saw him it felt like my chest was caving in on itself. Then he broke me, in ways even now I am still fractured from that day. His words, when he left me in my mother’s rose garden weren’t as harsh as the ones I heard after that day, but because they were the first of many made it so much more life-altering than anything else he said after.”

“Marco was your first true love,” Salvatore answers.

“In a way, he was my first of everything. Obviously, at the time, I wasn’t aware of his promise to his father, or his past with Camilla. I was just hurt, in pain. I wanted it to go away so I broke down on the grown and took comfort from an enemy, Matteo Di Salvo. Even after everything he did to us he still found a way to worm his body through the small cracks.”

“Then you met me.”

I smile at the memory of seeing Salvatore for the first time. I was a small pesky girl, who just got her heartbroken, and he was an avenging angel lost in hell with so many paths, he was having trouble finding his way out.

“Yes, I met you. By then I was already on my way to becoming a woman with enemies in bad places.”

“Is that all you did? Told a few lies and spun a few tales? Made some enemies? Got your heart broken?” Salvatore asks.

“No, that was just the beginning. After Marco and my short romance, I learned to deal with Ren’s death but I didn’t stop looking for answers. Deno kept me close, he intertwined himself in my world, while Marco played house with Camilla.
