CHAPTER 36: THE ACCIDENT

Leo's POV

"So," Alejandro takes a deep breath and says.

"Tell me, Alejandro," I urge him.

After all what could be the worst case ?

Let me guess-

He is supposed to be the leader ?

I was adopted ?

There's something weirdly supernatural about me?

With how my luck flows, it's probably going to be a weird mixture of the three of them combined with some next level shit.

Yep, that's my freaking life now.

"Please don't be mad . The thing is that you don't remember clearly about the past because you had a car accident," he says with a stern expression.

I had a what--?

Oh, I didn't see this coming.

Ahh yes, amnesia.

Yep, that's a good one.

Maybe that's the next level shit combined with the mixture.

It's got to be.

What could be worse than that?

"What ?" I ask him, clearly confused.

"So you were in a car. Actually my parents and yours and me and you were in the car . We were coming back from a family vacation and we're on a high speed when suddenly a car came crashing --"

"Wait dude, are you trying to feed me up crap? I clearly remember my past . I was never ever in a car accident and I don't remember you at all . You didn't even exist till now dude !" I exclaim and get up.

I look at my watch and start to move.

I don't have time for this bullshit.

I've got places to be at and certainly don't have time for made up weird ass shit stories.

I have got to admit though, this whole conversation has intrigued me and has been entertaining and I would love to find out the climax of the story but sadly, I really have no time to spare.

"Leo please think rationally . Do you really think there was no car accident ? Please don't make this hard than it already is, "Alejandro gets up too and tries to stop me.

"Okay?" I say and cross my arms.

"So a car came crashing in . It was the Accardi 's. They didn't know it was us and they crashed in. We didn't even have an enmity till that crash . Marco and Luca's real parents were in the other car . They both died on the spot with the impact of which their car hit us . It was devastating. Our car swirled around but we were fine other than some fractures . But your door was unfortunately not that closed and when their car crashed it hit the other side and your door opened and you went flying outside. It was a bloody scene . Your head was actually open . There was sooo much blood . Everyone panicked but all were semi -conscious so no one could do anything . Luca and Marco both were crying so hard and I saw you with your head open that I...." he says with a shudder.

"That you ?" I say and ask him to continue.

I couldn't get through whatever he was saying . It seemed unreal but when he started explaining more I started getting those scenes inside my head and it really hurts . Is it just my imagination or this is real ?

Definitely imagination.

This somehow doesn't really make sense to me at all. If such a drastic event in my life happened by any chance, I sure as hell would've remembered. You don't really forget such things or maybe you do.

What is the point of even bringing this up now?

What good is it going to do?

The way this story is going, I can foresee that the end ain't going to be pretty and is just going to mess me up more.

I should leave before this gets worse and with that thought in my mind, I get up but Alejandro stops me and I just stand still and decide to hear him out.

"I was confused and I panicked . I didn't know what to do so I looked at Marco and Luca and I pushed them both down due to which Luca fell down on a steep rock and it hit his heart and blood started gushing out . Marco was looking at me, horrified at what I did and he came near towards me so I hit him with the sharpest stone I could find and blood started coming out from his head and with this much blood around I really couldn't take it so I ran and ran and never looked back . I reached a hospital and just sat there and didn't tell them about any of this . Luckily at that time a family was going in the car and they immediately rushed our family to the hospital . The doctors asked me about this but I pretended to be deaf and dumb . Due to the injury I gave to Marco he lost all memory about this like you and Luca ...well...he hurt his heart badly and so when Mario's bullet hit him straight in the heart he couldn't survive it because of the injury I gave him as a kid . I was not allowed to see you as your memory would get triggered and be bad for your health and Marco and Luca would recognize me and try to kill me . I am sorry for being so selfish Leo ... I am so sorry I didn't want this . Any of this . Each second of my life just gets heavier with guilt .... please forgive me " Alejandro says and bursts into tears .

If I wasn't so shocked by whatever he is saying right now, I would've called him a great actor but this seems quite real.

"I don't know," is all I say and turn around.

I am still trying to process this information .

Alejandro suddenly grabs me and starts crying .

Why is he crying?

"Alejandro let go of me ! I need air " I say and rush to open the door .

The door is slightly ajar and when I open it I see Marco standing outside with anger , hurt , confusion and revenge written all over his bruised face .

Oh fuck.
