Illuso: Just do this for me ONE time!
Pesci: Noooo!! I don’t wanna!
Illuso: come on, you suck mine, I suck yours!
Pesci: THAT IS NOT THE SAYING.
Illuso: In my world it is! Plus, Formaggio and Melone say that junk to eachother all the time!
Pesci: That’s because they’re gross weirdos.
she points to show Melone and Formaggio wiggling their tongues at each other with complete eye contact.

*Bruno quickly going back into the driver’s seat of her car with Leone and Mista in there as well. They’re outside of a movie/film store.*
Bruno: “you guys will never believe who I saw buying pornos.”
Leone: “Let me guess, Melone? No surprise if it is.”
Mista: “I was gonna say Carne, guy’s so mysterious…and creepy crawly!”
Bruno: “You’re both wrong! It was RISOTTO.”
Leone and Mista: “RISOTTO???”
Mista: “What the hell is he doing buying porn?? Isn’t his mom like SUPER catholic? What was he buying specifically, could you see??”
Bruno: “He grabbed like…5 films? Not a whole lot but still surprising from him! He got the works! I saw 70s, softcore, I couldn’t tell if one was either fat women or pregnant women, trans, and the only one I could see clearly was “Bikini Beach #5”, it was so weird and I’m so scared if he saw me looking at him!”
Leone: “Jesus, had no clue he was into that shit…weirdo…”
Mista: “I thought he was gay, because he’s dating two dudes and all?”
Bruno: “no, remember, he used to be into Pesci a little bit before he really talked to Prosciutto.”
(This was inspired by a similar story from my mom!)
Freaky ass Mista
Who cares? It’s just a reference!
That moment when there’s a girl on top of you, choking you🤷♀️
Chapter 7: Rock the boat.
I woke up to someone shaking me awake, it was Narancia. "GIORNO WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UPPPPP!!!!"
"I'm up! I'm up! What's going on?" I said with a slight yawn as I sat up and stretched my neck, quickly noticing Fugo already dressed up and ready to go, same with Narancia.
"Bruno told us all to get ready like 10 minutes ago, but we forgot to tell ya'!"
"You, you forgot Narancia." Fugo said with annoyance, "I was talking with Bruno and specifically told you to wake Giorno."
I didn't really care to listen to them both continue arguing, I stretched some more before grabbing my shirt and pants from my bag and into them, and handing Fugo his spare pants back.I grabbed my backpack while Fugo and took
Narancia did the same
. By the time we got out of our room, we already saw the others waiting for us. Leone scoffed, "Took you long enough, I knew Giorno was going to slow us down..." I did ONE thing to ruin her prank and now she can't stop blaming me for anything, her dog could run into a fire and she’d STILL blame me.
Bruno looked much better now, she clearly needed sleep more than anyone here. She smiled, "Let's get going guys, we have the whole weekend and the sooner we get done, the quicker we can leave! Now come on, let’s get going!” She said enthusiastically before walking off to get to the lobby to drop off the keys to our rooms but not before telling us to head towards where the car was as she handled the check out.
As soon as she came out, she unzipped the ground where she last put the car
As soon as she came out, she unzipped the ground where she placed her car but she unzipped everything in a certain way (almost like she’s creating a ramp?). She jumped down to get to her driver seat before immediately starting the car and pressing on the pedal to get her car out of the underground parking she made earlier.
As soon as the car got out, Mista took everyone’s bags and threw them in the trunk. I opened the car door to get back to where I sat last before Bruno spoke to me
“Giorno, sit up front with me!” I changed direction and sat in the passenger seat as the others were still pushing each other into the van.
“Sorry for Leone not letting you sit up here yesterday, she just gets motion sickness,” Bruno said as she got the car started and already started driving out of the lot.
“It’s fine, I don’t really mind.” I looked back and saw Leone with her headphones on and her eyes closed, she looked like she was trying to relax but her face just still looks naturally angry.
I looked back at Bruno as she focused on the road before she suddenly started speaking again.
“I wanted you up here with me because I want to give you some more information of the entirety of Passion, that I know of at least…” Bruno said before continuing
“So there’s the actual boss, he’s in charge of EVERYONE. He’s the “don” as we all also know him as but we don’t know anything else besides that, we know he’s possibly also in high school, he’s in Indiana, but we don’t know his face or his actual name.” I was about to ask her something before she already answered it,
“And no, no one in the organization has successfully found out. Actually, two were killed when trying to find him, very sad really…they were boyfriends, a very cute couple!” She took a moment before continuing to talk again,
“But to continue with the actual info: there’s the guy below the actual boss but, still above the rest, who doesn’t do much work but gives orders, that’s what Polpo’s job was. Then there’s the actual teams: Mine’s job is to escort, we mainly just drive around to pick up and deliver items or people where the boss needs them. Then, there’s team execute, they kill people that the boss wants gone, they have to be pretty heartless, I talk to some of them personally,”
“You actually know them?”
“Of course! I like being personal with all of the people in the organization! Anyways, there’s also the special unit, a bit smaller but kinda crazy all together, they’re all a bit more closer to the boss. I don’t really talk to any of them, they’re all a bit…much.”
“How so?”
“One of them stalked one of my friends for about 5 weeks not too long ago, two of them are into medical malpractice, and the other two…I don’t know, they’re just too touchy with each other. But that’s it for any very important information you should know that I know of. there’s more but it would take a novel and a few magazines to get it all down.” She said lastly.
“Okay…” is all I could say back. Maybe Bruno is just making it more than it actually is? I don’t really think I can ask for any more information, it sounds like even Bruno is limited on some knowledge, especially about that boss…
It’s been about an hour and 24 minutes of driving now. We have Narancia’s CD playing a bunch of explicit rap, Bruno is still smiling with her lips as she steers the wheel and is pressing the pedal, Leone is either still ignoring everyone with music or she’s dead asleep, Narancia is doing some weird dance movements in his seat which is clearly annoying Mista who’s trying to read some type of male sports magazine he somehow had on hand. I think I saw the top of Fugo’s head in the third row, no clue what he’s doing but he might have some headphones in as well. I’m the only one not really doing anything, I feel awkward, I’m just sitting here in the passenger seat of my new friend’s car. Should I do something? I left my bag in the trunk, I can’t do any homework or reading without bothering people. I think I’ll talk to Narancia, get him to warm up to me and to also stop annoying the guy who could probably choke him out.
“Hey Narancia?”
“Ya, Giovanni?” He said with a sleazy tone as he stopped bopping for a moment.
“Giorno…but anyways, can you tell me who burns the mixtapes for all of you?”
“What? You want a tape too? What you listenin’ to? J-pop? You probably listen to that real bitchy shit, right?“
Mista shoved Narancia forward roughly so as to not disturb Leone.
“Dude, stop talking like that! You’re a phony ass gangster thinking that talking like that makes you some hot shit.”
“Owww! I’m gonna tell Bruno and she’ll beat the shit out of you and then he’ll use his zippers to open yo’ fuckin’ chest and start doing freaky shit to fuck you up like last time!”
Bruno spoke up.
“Narancia! Don’t try to make me be your fucking weapon. Also, don’t bring up last time.” She grumbled as she refused to look back at them. I just turned back in my seat and looked out the windshield again…Man, this is getting me nowhere.
I closed my eyes for a moment to try and relax again.
I must've passed out or something because in just a few seconds, the car stopped completely and when I opened my eyes, I saw a large body of water in front of the car.
"Alright guys, take what you think you need; snacks, drinks, whatever. We'll be on a boat for a few hours now but we'll still come back later this afternoon or midnight." Bruno explained as she turned her car off, grabbed her wallet and keys before she unbuckled and slipped out of the car. I stretched my legs before getting out as well, hearing my shoes step on the crunchy pebbles below me.
I looked around and saw a few boats lined up around a dock, and turned my head to see a small booth standing at maybe 10 feet tall with some old woman reading a paper as Bruno approached.
I quickly noticed that everyone else was standing behind Bruno and then quickly jogged over to not be stranded and lost in the plan.
"Excuse me ma’am? We would like to rent a boat for the day, please." Bruno said with a polite smile and her hands behind her back. The older woman looked up before quickly smiling.
"Ah, Bruno! It's been such a long time since I last saw you! Of course you can get a boat! I'll even give you 50% off as payback for last week!" The woman sounds like she might be from Italy, maybe she migrated decades ago.
"No, no, Ma'am, please let me pay full price! I have the money, and you know you need it!" Bruno argued back with a smile as he pulled out a stack of cash and was handing it to the woman.
"ah, noooo! You're being too kind and pushy again, girl!" The lady used her hand to wave off the money.
"ugh, okay, fine...I'll pay half..." Bruno said with a fake pout as she split the money and handed it over. The two kept talking nicely to each other before we finally got the keys to the boat. Bruno could tell how tired and inpatient some of us were getting, she quickly finished up with the woman before walking to the boats.
"Okay, so the keys can work on any of these boats, which should we get?" she asked as we all stared at the 7 different boats, all with their respective numbers painted on their sides.
"I don't really care, they all look the same...we can use number 4?" Leone suggested as she stuffed her hands inside her skirt pockets.
"NO. we can't use 4! you should know that it's bad luck! I knew this kid in my neighborhood who adopted a cat from a liter of 4, and guess what? He got his eye scratched out!"
Bruno sighed before heading towards the second boat, "Let's just go with number 2..."
Bruno got on first and started helping everyone get on the boat. When she grabbed my hand to steady me, I could feel warmth in her palm. It was as if she had her hands under a heating pad all day. After she let go of my hand, I watched as she removed the rope from the hook on the dock and rushed over to grab the wheel and start setting the boat for a straight path.
I just leaned against the rim of the boat as I watched everyone do their things; Bruno was steering, Leone was just watching Bruno, Fugo was looking at the water, Mista was sitting on the ground while reading his magazine still, and Narancia was sitting next to Mista with his music pumping as loud as possible
After we got on a nice straight path for the boat, Bruno and Leone stood in the center of the boat.
"Now that we're all alone, I feel safe enough to tell you all where we're going..." Bruno paused before saying, "We're going to Metamora to get Polpo's fortune."
"Fortune?" Narancia asked.
"Why the hell does Polpo have a fortune?" Fugo inquired.
"I don't really care whose fortune it is, as long as it's a complete jackpot!" Mista laughed with a nudge to Fugo.
Bruno continued by saying, "Polpo trusted me to hide the Fortune for him. He also told me that I was the only one allowed to get it as I will also get his job if something happened." She was clearly trying to stay formal but had a small smile on her lips, she must be happy to now move up a rank in the gang I guess.
Mista got up and put his arm around Bruno's shoulders as he smiled even wider than her.
"Great for you, Bruno! How about this, to celebrate; you, me, and Leone in Sẽnor Frogs in Mexico? We can drink legally there, same with Fugo and Narancia but come on! You can do a shot and get your boobs jiggled with a smack on the ass there!" He laughed as he was half hugging Bruno still as Leone was standing by Bruno's other side.
As that was happening, we all suddenly heard Narancia yelp.
Mista immediately stopped laughing and looked over where Narancia was supposed to be, but nothing was there? All that was in his place was a single black, white, and orange KangaROO shoe.
"Narancia?" Fugo broke the new silence as he walked over and looked at the shoe and looked around, "He's gone?"
Bruno rushed over and looked around the area, she looked over the railing of the boat as well.
"Where did he go? He's not in the water, I didn't hear him get up and move, he wouldn't leave a single shoe either..." She backed up to get back in the center of the boat while grabbing Fugo's arm to bring him into the rest of us.
"It's a stand user...All of you better stay close together, we can't be-" Just that second, Fugo disappeared as well, leaving nothing this time.
"SHIT. Where the hell are they going???" Mista asked rhetorically as he grabbed a purple revolver from his crotch inside his pants
"Mista, don't shoot anything. We don't know what the stand can do exactly. For all we know, Narancia and Fugo could be turned to be invisible and mute..." Bruno warned as she had her stand at the ready.
"Wait." I said suddenly as I grabbed Narancia's shoe. "I can find Narancia, My stand can turn objects into nature, if I do this..." I explained as I turned Narancia's shoe into a fly, "The shoe will go back to Narancia because it naturally wants to be with its owner. Where the fly is, is where Narancia, Fugo, and possibly the user is. We know they can't leave the boat so let's watch what it does." I said as the fly flew around quickly over the boat and stopped suddenly by Mista, and before Mista could even bring his pistol up, he looked like he was quickly pulled down as well.
It was just me, Bruno, and Leone now...I watched the fly as it buzzed around the boat more slowly now.
Bruno moved and stared at where Narancia first disappeared,
"Leo, I think your stand would come in handy right here."
Leone grumbled as she glanced at me and then back at Bruno,
"I'm not gonna do it if he's going to fucking see, I still don't trust him."
Bruno sighed in annoyance.
"Just do it."
Leone pushed me far away from her, "Look away, dick."
So I just faced out at the water.
Bruno's point of view:
I had to bite on my tongue to not say anything more.
I watched as Leone walked over to the spot while she called out her stand, Moody Blues.
"Go back about 5 minutes…” I requested as I stared at where Narancia was.
“Alright.” Leo said as she got her stand to copy what happened and rewind to when Narancia was still there.
I saw Narancia staring straight forward with a smile as I heard Mista talk again.
“-smack on the ass there!" we saw Narancia laugh before he suddenly looked scared and looked…flat? He looked deflated and was as thin as paper as he was quickly pulled down into the floorboards of the boat.
“Rewind and stop right when Narancia is flat.” I demanded as I kept my eye focused on the fake teen boy.
As Leone rewinded the scene again, I got to see right when Narancia was actually deflated. I walked around him as I saw a hole in his shoulder, I touched his skin and rubbed it between my fingers.
“His skin is rubbery…like a condom…” I explained as Leone walked closer to me and felt his skin too.
“Damn…Weird stand…” Leone said softly as she seemed just as bewildered as I was.
I looked at the small hatch of the boat that led to a small area, I opened the lid of a door and pointed at a radio station that was already there.
“This stand is weak. They can’t be working alone. They had to have contacted someone." This stand sounds so familiar to me but I can't remember who it belonged to...has to be someone I don't talk to a whole lot. I looked at Leone.
"Use moody blues on the radio and see who the user is, I doubt they didn't use the radio at least once." I looked back at the radio as Abbacchio got her stand to find where the user was standing and what they looked like...It's-! fuck, I don't know her name. I think it started with an S? no- a Z? Damnit. All I know is that she's a pain in my ass.
"Buccirati is heading to Metamora. Polpo's fortune is confirmed!" The girl's replay said with a grin into the radio. Leone cut off the replay with a scoff.
"That cunt already gave us away. When we find her, we gotta kill her-" "Shhh!" I shushed Leone as I looked at the bottom of the staircase to see the fly slowly moving around before facing me, then shooting up back to the first floor, I scrambled to go back up and saw Giorno get stabbed then pulled down just like all the others.
"NO!" I screamed as I tried to grab him, but it was too late, he was gone too. I panicked, what if the fly goes away and we lose track of the others? I looked over and the fly was fortunately still there. Leone was watching it carefully and she moved to get away from it for a moment.
"It's just me and you, Bruno...But, I think she's trying to get just you..I have an idea." She said before sprinting towards the fly, she was then stabbed in her hand and reached it out at me.
"LEONE!" I shouted as I tried to grab her palm, but it just smacked me and gave me a smudge of her blood on my cheek. I noticed how her blood trail abruptly stopped on the floor, right at a hatch, but it didn’t go in.
I was alone now. I stared at the fly before bringing my stand out. I started punching all over the boat to unzip every inch of it. I heard a laugh, it was her...
"Bruno! You idiot! I hid your team where you'll never find them! They're all empty carcasses now. Tell me where Polpo's money is! Or else I’ll feed your friends to the bass below!" She spoke through the fly.
“..." I carefully moved to be in the center of the boat once more.
"haha! You're nothing but a stubborn bitch, Bruno! You lost! I win! If you don't tell me, I'll just take you and parade your body around town!" She cackled, trying to sound edgy and intimidating.”Now, you better start talking before I actually kill each of your friends one by one! You stay silent, I’ll kill! You say something cocky, I’ll kill! So you better say your next words carefully!” She threatened.
"...Slaugers" I stared right at the insect watching me.
"Huh? What the hell are you saying? Are you going crazy now?!” She yelled.
"The Fish. You called them bass, but they’re Slaugers. Basses are more robust and these fish are slimmer and have more of a camo coloring." I smiled as I looked down at the water flooding in from the bottom of the boat.
“Anyone can tell the difference…and I'm sure you’ll be able to tell soon.”
The ship started to sink on one end where the fly is.
"What the fuck!?" She cursed as the fly kept trying to go up towards me but kept sinking back to the bottom.
"Gurgh! B-BRRUNO!!" She screamed before gurgling while I ran up to hold onto a pole on the top of the boat as I looked at the fly struggling to come up. I used my stand to then keep unzipping the boat more before I got the second (hidden) boat to snap out and land on the water next to the sinking one. This was the layer she was hiding on, and there she was, coughing up the water she had in her mouth and fixing her crooked glasses as she was scrambling back up. My team was all still flat and deflated.
"Fix them. You lost." I told her as I still had my stand on standby.
“Fuck you! I can still win…” she huffed before grabbing Leone’s deflated balloon-like body.
“I’LL KILL LEONE!” She screamed with a crazed smile before I used Sticky Fingers to launch my fist at her to punch her down.
I walked over and grabbed her by her collar to pull her up and away from Abbacchio before dropping her on the ground in front of me.
She quickly got up to be on her knees and began tugging at my white capri pants as I stood over her.
"p-p-please Bruno! It was just a simple mistake! I'm sorry! I'll just stay still if you take me to Metamora and drop me off-" I grabbed her and zipped her mouth as my hand was around her throat.
"I don't give a shit! Shut up!" I spat at her before looking over at my thin team that were all beginning to inflate back to their usual forms.
Back to Giorno’s point of view:
As I opened my eyes, I was able to see the sun beaming right above me. I groaned as I sat up to stretch my body again. Everyone else was in the same position as me, trying to recollect themselves, I saw what I assume to be the stand user, grabbing at her zipped mouth, Bruno was sitting by Leone and smiling at her, Narancia was rubbing at the back of his head and trying to massage his his shoulder while telling Fugo to check his crown.
I stood up with a wobble right when Bruno got up to strut back to the enemy. He grabbed her hair and decapitated her with a zipper he added onto her. I witnessed Bruno then just toss the head to Mista.
“Do something with her.” She said simply as Narancia walked over to the body of the green haired girl.
“You bitch! You fucking left me with a bruise!” He yelled as he kicked at her bod with a violent force. Leone quickly joined in and kicked at the paralyzed torso. Fugo bent down and started searching her pockets.
“I found her wallet!” He announced as he stood up and started to open it to see what information we could get from the item.
“Her school ID says she’s Mariah Zucchero, She’s another senior at our school.” Fugo explained as he stared at the card before handing it to Leone and walking away to sit at the front edge of the boat.
I looked over to see that Mista was holding Mariah’s head while he stared at her face. His finger was tapping his chin in thought.
“Mmm...What to do, what to do with you…Y’know, your hair is kinda reminding me of a fish! What’s your opinion on fishing?” Mista asked with a wide grin.
Risotto: FUCK. How will we possibly get any info about the boss’s sister?! Melone! Hack into the school’s data!
Melone: *Keyboard slam* I can’t! There’s a firewall!
Prosciutto: In English four eyes!
Melone: THEY FUCKING US IN THE ANUS WITH NO LUBE!!!
Risotto: IN KOREAN?
Ghiaccio: HOW IS KOREAN GOING TO HELP YOU-
Melone: 준비도 없고 사후 관리도 없는 무례한 섹스. (I used that apple translation app sry!)
Risotto: FUCK.
Pp fart
Here don’t even care
Just realized I never posted my last two chapters on here, oopsie! 🐶 so here’s both!
Chapter 5: Rumors.
Bruno looked disappointed and embarrassed as she rushed over to the three members yelling. The blonde seemed to have stabbed the Tupac copycat with a fork and they’re both threatening each other at this point, and the hairy guy was shouting about bad luck and the number 4 to the goth who’s focusing on the slice of cheesecake with strawberries on top.
Bruno reached their table and started doing that shout-whisper thing people do if they’re really pissed but don’t want attention on them.
“What the fuck are you guys doing-”
“Nothing much, how about you?” the kid with a fork stuck in the back of his hand said casually as he was holding a switch blade at the chin kid’s throat.
“Shut up, Narancia, do NOT interrupt me. I told you we have a new member for our team and I let us go to a nice restaurant, and this is how you act? You’re all in high school, ACT LIKE IT.”
The goth looked at Bruno, “what about me?”
“Yea, you’re doing great as an example for them, Leone, great job.” She sounds and looks a bit annoyed still as the skinny girl chuckled at the rest.
I just stood there awkwardly at the right side of Bruno as she was trying to stay calm before she turned to look at me.
“This is my team, We don’t exactly have an ACTUAL name for ourselves so we’re just called “Bucci gang” or “Bruno’s team”, boring, I know right?” she explained, she was going to say something else but the host at the front called out into the dining area.
“Is there a Bruno Bucciarati? There’s a call for you.”
Bruno looked a little upset about being stopped from talking again, she began walking over to the front but not before telling me to sit down and try to connect to the four teens staring at me.
I didn’t want to sit in the booth with them, I don’t know them that well anyways.
“I’m Giorno Giovanna.”
“You don’t look Italian…what are you? Race wise?” The hairy guy asked.
“I’m mixed with Japanese and Black.”
“Hm, nice to have another black person in the group.” The goth named Leone said as she was looking down at something.
“And asian” the Chin added in.
“Giorno is a bit of a dumb name for a kid who isn’t even Italian,” Said the boy whose name means orange.
“I changed my name after my mom married an Italian man in Chicago. So what’s your guys’ names, in full?”
“What are you, a spy?”
“No, I just said my full name, so I think it’s right if you all do the same.”
“Alright fine– I’m Guido Mista.”
“Pannacotta Fugo.”
“Ghirga Narancia.”
“Leone Abbachio…” Jesus, is this group just an Italian menu? I don’t know why they’re all making fun of me when none of them look Italian either with even more ridiculous names.
Leone pulled a dark colored cup from under the table, it was a dark red color with ice cubes in it. She was smiling without moving her eyes.
“Here, take some tea…welcome to the gang, Giorno.” I felt a bit wary with how she was looking at me. My eyes looked at the drink she was holding.
“Aw, come on, do you already not trust me? We’re all partners now and you can’t even accept a drink from me?” I don’t trust her, but…
“No. I do trust you, thank you ,Leone.” I said as I carefully took the cup from her and stared at it a bit.
“Drink it.” She wasn’t even pretending to be nice anymore.
I chugged the entire drink as her expression from mischief changed to disgust and confusion.
I set the cup down as I looked at her in her face.
“Thank you, Leone.” I said while I waited for her to look at Mista before removing the tooth that turned into a sponge from my mouth. I won’t risk my sanity for something like that. I’m assuming it was a regular lemonade that had a bunch of marinara sauce poured into it.
“OH MY GOD. DID YOU REALLY DRINK IT??? PLEASE TELL ME YOU DIDN’T. EWWWWW!!!” Guido yelled as he shook Leone in amusement. The other two looked confused as they looked at me and Mista.
As Mista was still violently shaking Leone, Bruno came back with a sad expression.
“Guys. Hurry up and finish eating. We have to go.”
“Go where?” Ghirga asked with a more puzzled expression.
“I can’t say.” She said with a neutral expression while looking at the group.
My heart feels heavy, but it can’t be anything about me specifically, right?
After everyone hurried up and the manager told Bruno she didn't have to worry about paying, she said her thanks as everyone walked outside to get in her car. As I was getting ready to go to the front passenger seat, Abbacchio shoved me to the side with a scoff. I didn’t say anything as I went to the last row of the van, already seeing the other three were in the second row of the car. I was alone again as I tried my best to listen to the front.
Bruno started the car and removed Fugo’s CD from earlier.
“...Polpo killed himself.”
The others gasped and all started asking a million questions. From what I could see, Bruno was looking down in her lap while Leone had her hand on his shoulder. The others were trying to reach out and touch her in condolence as she was clearly upset.
“He brought a gun to school apparently and shot himself through his mouth while in detention…The staff member watching him didn’t even notice until after 3 minutes…” She sniffled, trying not to cry as the others looked with sympathy, I tried to reach my hand out to her too but Leone seemed to have noticed and brought her hand towards me to smack mine away.
Bruno took a few deep breaths before he cleared his throat.
“I didn’t want us to get in my car just for that. Polpo needs me to do something. We’ll have to sail out.”
The others’ palms slipped from him in surprise.
“Well, what is it Polpo needs you for, after death?–no offense, Bruno…”
“I can’t say…There’s others who’ll hurt us if I’m not careful…” She explained as she shifted into reverse and pulled out of the parking spot as the others whispered to each other.
Chapter 6: The Poor Side Of Town
While Bruno was driving his car to a place only she knew, I was still alone in the back seat while the others talked about anything that came to their minds apparently.
Mista was wondering about if he could make his own olive oil if he stepped on the olives like in traditional wine making, Narancia was complaining about the counselors at school and how they don't care to help him on his future dancing career, Pannacotta isn't really talking exactly but is just listening to Leone warning him about not to listen to some history teacher she had and hated.
I felt like a fly stuck inside the car listening and watching them, the only one not talking was Bruno, still clearly upset and trying to focus on driving us to the destination.
I decided to speak up.
"So how far is this place we're going to?" Everyone stopped talking and seemed to have judged me before all looking at Bruno for an answer.
"It's about 5-6 hours from here..." Everyone groaned in response to Bruno’s.
"Ughhh, B.B. why the hell does it have to be so damn far!" Narancia whined as he threw himself into his seat with a grumble.
"Thanks a lot, Giorno," Leone sneered in annoyance. What the hell did I do???
Leone kept talking without addressing me any further, "Well, if the ride is going to take so long, I'm putting in a CD. My choice." She said as she grabbed the CD holder from her feet and started to flip through the options, as I did not too long ago.
I sat back in the third row of seats as the player accepted the disc before I remembered that I had left my backpack in the second row. I scooted up and looked over the seats to see that my bag was by the feet of the only other blonde in the car. I gently tapped his shoulder, and he flinched at me touching him while I pointed to my bag by his foot.
"I'm sorry, can you please give me my backpack?" I asked politely but he seemed angry before he grabbed my bag and tossed it back to me.
"Don't touch me." He said with clear annoyance and looking disturbed.
"Sorry..." This isn't going too well for first impressions. I opened my bag and decided to do some homework while I had the time to do so.
After one hour, I was done with everything, I think I might've gotten ahead on some work too. Bruno exited the highway and pulled up to a gas station.
She turned off the car and looked at everyone.
"We're almost out of gas, while I fill the tank, you guys go use the restroom and maybe get something to eat for the rest of the drive."
Everyone immediately started to open the car doors and step out to stretch while Narancia and Mista were the first ones to start dashing towards the store itself. I got out last with a grunt as my feet reached the ground. I looked through the car windows while I shut the doors and saw Leone talking to Bruno through the other side.
Bruno still seemed upset as she was putting her money in for the gas as Leone kept talking to her.
"So, about that place… you said we were sailing out?"
"mhm."
"How far is the final destination that we need to go on a boat? What’s there? Pirate treasure?" She tried to joke.
As Bruno was pumping the gas, she gave Leone a side eye.
"Are you serious? Is it actually a treasure??"
Bruno stayed quiet as she kept her eye on the gas meter.
I looked away from the two and remembered I needed to use the bathroom. I quickly walked into the station just in time to see Mista and Narancia staring at the candy section. I brushed them off as I walked past Pannacotta to get to the bathroom.
While I was washing my hands, I just kept thinking to myself about what Bruno said…I don’t exactly regret killing Polpo. Sure, I feel a little bad about killing him only because he was Bruno’s childhood friend. But, I can’t have him get in my way, I need to become an official gangstar anyway I can– even if people die.
I left the bathroom and grabbed my wallet from my back pocket but it wasn’t there? I felt around my pants pockets but I only had a few pieces of straw paper, gum wrappers, and lint in my pockets… I looked up towards Mista and Narancia to see them snickering to each other while grabbing lots of chips, soda, and grabbing what appears to be 10 bags of that Werther’s Original caramel hard candies? I didn't really feel like getting too much anyways, maybe it's for the best, I don't want to dirty Bruno's car.
I walked back outside where I saw Fugo talking to Leone and Bruno, the gas nozzle back in its rightful place. I walked over to the car and got back into the third row. I think it's best if I just don't really talk unless it's important.
Narancia and Mista came back with plastic bags filled with whatever junk they could afford and carry.. The windows were down and I could hear the conversation
"...What the hell did you guys get?" Bruno asked with a look of displeasure.
"We got a shit ton! We got drinks, snacks, and candy!" Narancia said with glee as he lifted the bag he was carrying to show it off.
"And we got you something too, Bruno!" Guido tossed a small bag filled with maybe 10 bags of what I saw them grabbing earlier.
"That's surprisingly nice of you guys...How much did this cost?" Leone said with a cocked eyebrow.
"I dunno, like 30-35?" Ghirga shrugged.
"Where the hell did you get that money??? Last time I checked, you only had twelve dollars on you and Mista only had one dollar!" Fugo said with shock.
"Did you steal these things??" Bruno looked like she was ready to turn them around to go back and return everything.
Mista chuckled, "Nah, nah, don't worry! It was all on Giorno!"
I peered closer through the window and to my dismay...Narancia was holding my wallet.
"It was like so EASY to pluck it off him! He had like 100!" Narancia exclaimed.
"Yeah! It was so damn nice, I felt like a teen girl on a shopping spree! He has this weird photo in there though..." Mista said as he showed my wallet to the other three and they stared at the photo inside.
"Is that a shirtless back shot of a man, in the dark?" Bruno said without removing her eyes from the photograph as Leone continued on.
"It says DIO on it...Is that like an acronym or like an actual name?"
"Dio means God so I think it might be some odd religious thing or even possibly the name of the man?" Pannacotta explained.
"You think Giorno is like a gay or something?" Narancia asked bluntly.
"I think he is, no guy with curly hair keeps his hair THAT long. I actually thought he was a chick when I first saw him!" Mista said as he put the picture back into my wallet.
I don't like butting in or sounding like I'm eavesdropping, but I don't want them thinking about that man in the image like that.
I spoke out through the window that was rolled down,
"That was my biological father. That was the photo he gave my mother after the night they met."
They all looked spooked for a second after they heard me talk.
"Oh, well, sorry for what you heard us say..." Bruno started with a slight nod of her head, like an unsure bow.
Fugo grabbed my wallet back and slipped it through the window to me, "We're sorry for going through your privacy." He sounded uncomfortable, I'm not sure if he's uncomfortable with me myself, or if he's uncomfortable about the new tension in the air.
"It's fine, I don't really care. I just don't want you guys thinking about my father like that. I never even met him though." I didn't want to go any further than that so I just went back to where I was sitting and stayed put as I thought about whether I should fall asleep right now, or just stay up and stay vibrant...I need a good nap though...
I yawned as everyone got back in the car, everyone was much quieter now. I made sure I was buckled in before closing my eyes to get some rest.
After what felt like a sudden jolt from the car stopping, I opened my eyes to see that we stopped at a motel, we were at the back of the building though, and it was way more dark outside.
I stretched with a yawn as everyone started getting out and moving around the car.
"Why are we here?" I asked Narancia as he was sliding out. He turned his head to look at me.
"Well, it was getting late and Bruno doesn't want all of us to be tired when we get where we need to be. Said it was gonna be a long day for tomorrow anyways." He shrugged before finally getting out.
I was happy to get out of this car and actually lay down for a few hours, I could almost hear my stand screaming at me about the pain of sitting up and trying to take a nap. I grabbed my bag and got out before closing the door and noticing the group grabbing their own backpacks from the trunk. I walked over to stand behind Mista and Ghirga as Bruno spoke to everyone.
"Once we all sleep, we'll all be in a much better mood. I'll get us two rooms-" Mista interrupted.
"Oh man, please please PLEASE Bruno, let me sleep with you and Leo! I'm tired of looking like a child-loving FREAK when I have to be in the same room as Narancia and Fugo! PLEASE, I 'LL SLEEP ON THE FLOOR." He pleaded, his hands clasped together in prayer.
"...I was going to say Giorno can be with Narancia and Fugo. We're evened out." Bruno said with her brows furrowed and her lips frowned.
"Oh." Mista looked awkward now and quickly just acted like nothing happened, "Well, come on, let's get the rooms then!" He said with a grin as he already started going off.
I saw everyone but Bruno and Leone follow, I looked back for a moment and before I could say anything, Bruno used her stand to unzip under her van and sink it in so it can be hidden from anyone looking to jack a car.Bruno and Leone walked towards the building with me following behind.
When we got into the entrance, there was an older man with a dirty wifebeater on his fat and hairy torso as he smoked a cigar. He was sitting behind the front desk and Mista was leaning against the counter, clearly looking at the pamphlets being shown off on display. Bruno grabbed her wallet from her pocket and talked to the man, I would look away but there's nothing to really stare at.
"I just need two rooms for the night."
The guy spoke back, "Of course, I can get ya two right next to eachotha'. That'll be $75.08.”
As Bruno was grabbing the money and counting to make sure, the guy kept talking to her. "So, this some kinda family road trip? These all your kids?"
Just from the back, I could tell Bruno looked annoyed, "No, these are not my kids. They're just my friends." She said through clenched teeth as she gave him the money to the now silent man who just gave her change and two keys.
Bruno gave Fugo the second key as they began walking to the rooms, and everyone stayed quiet during the movement. I just looked at the walls and ground of the clearly deteriorating building, some chipped outer paint, busted and cracked concrete flooring, and even a few bugs crawling around.
Bruno, Leone, and Mista went into their room, all saying a silent "Goodnight"
I looked at Fugo as he fumbled with getting the door open, he's clearly unlocking it right but the door is just sticky. He threw his body against the door and finally got it open with a huff.
I watched as Fugo and Narancia placed their bags down by the dirty TV table and both bent down and started grabbing something from each of their bags.
"What are you guys doing?" I asked them as they stood back up and showed me what they grabbed as Narancia explained, "We just grabbed our pajamas, We all pack 'em just in case of emergencies like these, Bruno said we can't move well if we don't dress well the night before!"
I hummed as a response, "Too bad I don't have any then, but a good thing to remember for the future, I guess."
"You can always do what Mista does and just sleep in your underwear," Narancia said with a shrug.
Fugo looked nervous before he spoke too, "Actually, I-uh, got a spare set of pants, if...if you want to borrow them,"
"Thank you, that's nice of you," I was honestly really surprised as Fugo grabbed the extra pair of pants and handed them to me.Immediately after that, Narancia just started throwing his clothes off without care, before slipping into his red plaid pants then deciding to toss the matching shirt he had into his bag again, Fugo quickly changed into his clean blue and white striped pajamas, carefully buttoning up the top.
I was a little embarrassed as I quickly slid my pants off and put on the spare I was just recently given. I took off just my outer shirt and left my light purple long-sleeve on, I yawned even after I got done. I saw that Narancia was already getting comfortable under the sheets and getting ready to close his eyes.
Fugo was still just standing there, staring at me, for some reason? I decided to break the silence, "Do you think all three of us can sleep on the bed? If not, I can sleep on the floor," Wouldn't be my first time, my mother and my stepfather often made me sleep on the ground, even at home, they never really got me a nice bed or even just a mattress.
"U-uhm, we can all sleep on the bed sure!" Fugo said with a rapid nod of his head as he let me get in the middle of the bed and he lay on my other side, not occupied by Narancia, who was already snoring and moving his limbs around. I stayed on my back and stared up at the popcorn ceiling. I closed my eyes and quickly relaxed into a comfortable slumber...
