Just shy of her heartbeat – she choked on her syllables. The world is growing empty she’d say. Thumbing back a piece of her hair, Faye’s question made her shoulders stiffen. Though Molly had good intentions, she also had selfish intentions and her survival instincts always took precedence hence why threat stuck a cord in her when Leo Contadino’s entanglement revealed the fact she had no memory of her injuries – the desire to not be here nor involved with another mafia situation slithered up her throat. 

“Well—”

Faye glanced up, her eyes and mind trying to focus on the person above her. Faye watched the woman, her heart skipping a beat in fear. “Who.. who are you? Can.. Can you help me? Is he still here?” Faye questioned quietly.

“Yeah, I think these suit me…”

“They kind of scream sexy librarian who is also a powerful business woman, but still lady enough to take home to your mother.”

This world was composed of heroes and villains and the morally grey, Molly veered more morally grey though she craved to be made of the goodness. Hence why she crouched near the damaged girl, concern flickering through her arctic hues as with soft fingertips, she attempted to nudge the broken blonde awake.

Faye was out cold, until she felt a gentle prodding. Opening her eyes she strained to see who was over her, “Hel.. hello... I.. what happened?” she sputtered out quietly.

Leo smiled down at her as he carried her to his apartment, nodding. “Of course I can.” He agreed quietly, carrying her out of the elevator and towards his apartment door, fumbling with the keys for a moment before pushing the door open and stepping through, allowing it to swing shut behind them. He made his way towards his bedroom, setting Faye down on his bed and sitting down beside her, “I’m gonna grab my first aid kit to clean this up, okay? Then I’ll run you a bath and I’ll make you something to eat while you’re in there.”

[faye-ruscello-blog]

Faye tilted her head up to him, a small smile on her lips. When he sat her down she tried to remain comfortable, “Alright, hurry up though, I’m hungry”

[leocontadino-blog-deactivated20]

“And I like taking care of you.” Leo replied, kissing her forehead gently. “Okay. I’ll wake you when we get there.” He carried her out of the elevator, out of the building and towards his car, opening the door and gently setting her down in the front passenger seat, before reaching across to make sure her seatbelt was fastened properly. He slipped out of his jacket and tucked it around her body, stepping back and quietly pushing the door shut before walking around and slipping into the drivers seat, putting the key in the ignition and pulling the car out of the parking lot.

It was only a short while later that he was pulling into the parking lot of his own apartment block. Leo got out of the car, walking back around to open Faye’s door. He scooped her out of the seat, kissing her forehead again, “Hey, babe. We’re home.” He mumbled, heading into the building and towards the elevator.

Faye smiled up at him before closing her eyes and giving up to sleep. It was a short while later when she awoke to the sound of his voice. She wasn’t able to catch what was said, but by her surroundings she could tell they had made it home. “Hey Leeeeoooo, after you clean me up can you make me some of your pasta with the cheesy kind of sauce, if not I can go with a little sandwich”

[leocontadino-blog-deactivated20]

“I can put them back if you’d like, they’d just be all over the place.” Leo teased, smiling. He held her closer as he stepped into the elevator, adjusting her slightly to press the button for the bottom floor. “It’s alright, really. I promise.”

[faye-ruscello-blog]

“No, I kind of like it when you take care of me...” 

“I believe you... I’m just going to nap some, okay? Wake me up when we get home...”

[leocontadino-blog-deactivated20]

Leo laughed quietly, “Yeah, I did. I was cleaning up, I just wanted to put them somewhere that they wouldn’t get lost or mixed up..” He answered, smiling softly. He shook his head, carrying her to the elevator and pausing as he waited for the doors to open, “It’s alright, you don’t have to thank me for anything, sweetheart.”

[faye-ruscello-blog]

“I guess thats alright, I’ll let you clean up after me for now” She smiled as she spoke, cuddling closer to his chest, “Mkay, but I just want you to know how much I appreciate this, appreciate you.”

[leocontadino-blog-deactivated20]

“Okay. We’ll see how you feel later, yeah?” Leo looked down at her, nodding as she continued to speak. “Yeah, all of your things are still there. I kind of organised them a little, all of your bathroom things are in a little basket by the sink and I put all of your clothes in a drawer or in my closet, but they’re all still there..” He replied, managing a small smile as he began leaving the apartment, letting the door swing shut behind them.

[faye-ruscello-blog]

“You organized my things? How dare you. How absolutely horrible of you, Leonardo.” Faye half smiled, sarcasm dripping from her words, “Thank you though Leo...”

[leocontadino-blog-deactivated20]

Leo nodded a little, adjusting her slightly in his arms. “Okay, as long as you’re sure. Will you let me take you later if I think you need to go?” He asked quietly, looking down at her as he turned towards the door, “I’ll take you home and run you a bath, don’t worry..” Leo paused for a few seconds before he reached the door,  “Do you need me to grab anything from here before we go? Is there anything else you need?” 

[faye-ruscello-blog]

“I... I guess we could talk about it if you think I need to , but I promise you that I don’t need to.” Faye sighed, glancing back before shaking her head, “No, I don’t need to grab anything as long as my things are still at your place..”

“Like I give a shit. Anna’s AWOL, again. And I don’t even try to keep track of fuck up 1 and fuck up 2.” The brunette quirked a brow, tilting her head to the side. “You want me to bury someone?”

[faye-ruscello-blog]

“Oh, well then...”

“No, I don’t think you even could if I told you... You might just bury me instead.”

[cacciatxrecapx-blog-deactivated]

“Cocaine, preferably..” Alex quirked a brow, looking her over. “The fuck happened to you? Did Paul not assign you a detail?”

[faye-ruscello-blog]

“Yeah, I’m sure your family would be thrilled about you doing that. I do have a detail, but shit happens. The detail doesn’t protect me from everyone.”

[leocontadino-blog-deactivated20]

Leo held her gently, holding her as close to his body as he could, “I know you don’t want to go, babe, but do you need to?” He asked quietly, looking down at her. “If you need to go, I’ll be with you the whole time, I promise. I’ll take you home right after.”

[faye-ruscello-blog]

“I don’t need to go Leo, I promise I don’t” Faye spoke quietly, holding on to his shirt, “All I need is you, I just need to go home, please... I want home and I want a bath, and to lay in a soft warm bed.”

[cacciatxrecapx-blog-deactivated]

“Fucking hell, I forgot how fucking loud this city is compared to Chicago. My head is fucking pounding, I need a hit.” 

[cacciatxrecapx-blog-deactivated]

[faye-ruscello-blog]

“A hit of what exactly?”

[leocontadino-blog-deactivated20]

Leo reached out to wipe the tears from her cheeks, nodding slightly. He shifted his position beside her, leaning down and scooping her gently up into his arms. He stood up slowly, trying to make sure he didn’t bump or knock her. Leo tilted his head down to brush a small kiss to her forehead, turning towards the door. “I think we might have to take you to a hospital, sweetheart…”

[faye-ruscello-blog]

Faye relaxed in his arms, “I don’t want to go to the hospital Leo, I just want you to take me home, please can we just go home...” 

[leocontadino-blog-deactivated20]

Leo shook his head, looking down at her. “No, of course not. Hey, you don’t have to apologise for anything. It’s okay, Faye, I promise.” He replied, trying to offer a reassuring smile. He nodded as she spoke, “Yeah, we can leave.” He managed a slightly more genuine smile, nodding once more, “I know exactly where we can go. But for now, we need to get all of this taken care of, okay? Can you get up, or do you want me to carry you?”

[faye-ruscello-blog]

Faye weakly reached towards him, “I... can you help me? I don’t think I can walk.. My legs hurt a lot..” A frown crossed her face as a few remaining tears rolled down her cheeks.

[leocontadino-blog-deactivated20]

“Hey, no, no. I’m always going to come, Faye. Always. No matter what happens, okay? I do care, I always have.” He squeezed her hand gently, sighing sadly, “I know, I know. But we’re going to get all of this fixed, okay? We’ll get all of these cuts dealt with and we’ll get you somewhere safe.”

[faye-ruscello-blog]

“I didn’t think so, I really thought you were done with me... I’m sorry...” Faye looked up at him, tears in her eyes, “Can we leave here? Just... Can you please take me back to your place, even just for a night.. Please.... And then... maybe... maybe we could... you know, go somewhere for a little.. I just need to get out for a bit, you know?”

[leocontadino-blog-deactivated20]

Leo leant close to her, moving his hand from her wrist to catch hold of her fingers, nodding as she spoke. “I’m here, I’m here. I’m always going to come, sweetheart, don’t worry about that.” He lifted his free hand to brush some of her hair back from her face, looking down at her. “You’re gonna be alright, I promise.”

[faye-ruscello-blog]

“I didn’t think you would come, not after... I didn’t think you would... that’s why I hung up... I just.. I thought you didn’t care...” Faye blinked back tears, shaking her head, “I don’t think I am, I don’t feel alright...”
