Healed By Love

CHAPTER 28

AUDELIA'S POV

Will I regret it if I do it?- Most probably.

Will I regret it if I do not do it?- Yes.

I am crossroads with what to do next. I am still debating inwardly, doing a pros and cons list, for whether I should go ahead and tell Lucas what happened between us. Both of us rarely interacted and the few times we did, it was nothing but bickering. I am still not sure whether to believe him when he said he wants what is best for me.

My trust issues are starting to resurface. Again.

Though, I know that whatever he said about Lorenzo is true. They are best friends, even brothers, and I know that he is not lying about wanting what is best for him. If I tell him what happened that night, maybe he will pin me as the wrong guy.

I did start the fight after all. Since they are so close, he might not try to see it from my perspective and simply see it as my fault.

However, given the fact that he is closer to Lorenzo than I am and also knows him better with his years of friendship, he could shed some insight on what Lorenzo is probably feeling- If he is capable of feeling. Maybe he can give me some advice that will help me reach a decision.

"If I tell you, which I am not sure I will," I start, looking at him sceptically. "Will you tell anyone else?"

He sighs. "You have serious trust issues."

"I know. No need to remind me." I say through gritted teeth. "Now answer my question."

"No I won't." He answers. "Whatever you tell me, will stay between the two of us. Not even Enzo will know."

"Hmm." I merely hum in response as I search his eyes for anything that might give away that he is lying or simply joking.

"Fucking hell, Audelia, stop trying to read me. I am not lying."

"I have been trained to be this way Einstein." I remind him. "Besides, I have all my reasons not to trust you."

"Are you going to tell me what happened or not?" His eyes narrow.

"Give me some time, I am still deciding."

He sighs, shaking his head and nearly face palming himself. "And I thought Gio was difficult to deal with."

"Keep your comments to yourself and listen." I say which gets his attention. He sits up straight. "About time." He says.

"So, we had a fight." I inform him.

"Oh I did not know that. I am so surprised." He deadpans as he rolls his eyes.

"Shut up." I punch him playfully on his arms, causing him to sway lightly. "And stop being sarcastic."

"Fine." He raises his hands in false surrender. "Why did you fight then?"

"I might have said some things." I say carefully, trying to choose my words wisely.

"Like what? Surely you did not say anything sweet for him to react this way and to get you in such a bad mood."

"Einstein, no need to use your brains so much." I sigh as I turn to glare at him.

"Well you are not exactly being clear about what happened Audelia and I am not exactly a patient person."

I scoff. "You were the one who wanted to know what happened. So, suck it up."

"Just speak." He retorts.

"So yeah, we fought." A glare from me makes his zip his mouth shut and stop anything he was about to say from coming out. "When we came back after the attack and Stefano and my dad were talking to us, I heard some suspicious things."
