Jace Romano barged into the room in the middle of the night while I was binge watching a series on Netflix.
I was startled when he came in because I was not expecting him to come back tonight. I could perceive the smell of alcohol and cigarettes as he walked in and my nose scrunched up.
"You're awake. Good." He said, approaching the bed.
"Pack your stuff we're heading to Rome first thing in the morning."
"Rome? Why?"
"No questions, Mira!" He snapped.
I flinched at his tone.
"Just do as you're told." He added coldly.
I got on my feet and entered the closet to do as I was told. I had no idea what to pack so I just picked a bunch of random stuff - clothes, shoes, jewelry an toiletry. I didn't even know how long we would be staying but I was too scared to speak because he looked really upset. I didn't want him to even hear me breathe.
I looked up as he brought a first aid kit out of a drawer. That was when I noticed the bruises on his fingers and his face.
