Realistic or Modern The Oath - 1940s Gangster Drama - IC (Ended)

[Lazy Taco]

When Sinead had to do whatever she was going to do, Carrick had stood up and walked back into his room slamming the door hard. He was finally feeling like the family was back together even though father wasn't here yet now Sinead wanted to go back to work as a Singer. It was because of that job, that everything started, it was because she was there while the Romano's where there that caused the events to happen. "Should had known that she was just messing with me." He growled out, angry that he had actually been considering on putting effort into fixing his relationship with her.

"Stupid Sinny, Stupid Lucy, Stupid everybody." He growled out while opening the door to his closet, bending down to grab a box that he always kept in one of his secret compartment. Opening it, inside it showed a drawing of the guy who had killed his father, the man who he was gonna hunt down and kill. He didn't know who this man was, but he was gonna rue the day that he messed with Kean family. Under the drawing, a gun could be seen with ammunition around, ready for it to be loaded. "I wanted so bad to not get involved with the family business, I tried so hard training so that I could become a doctor." He whispered to himself, before tears started streaming down his father. Tears that he hadn't shed since the death of his father, tears that signify his bow to kill the man who had the audacity to kill his father.

Conor Sullivan

When Alex mentioned they wouldn't be free to do what they wanted whilst Vinnie and Angel were alive, he raised a curious eyebrow, but she soon clarified her meaning. They would be no loss to Conor, their deaths would improve many lives, but he understood why Alex didn't feel the same. They were her family, even if they upset her quite often. He doubted they had the ability to ever change for the better. "You already know my feelings on your father. He never wanted peace and it was evident even before he had my father murdered. Don't worry, I could never trust Vinnie as I know now he only wants to watch the world burn. I can only assume you took on your mother's traits."

When asked if there was anything fun in the Sullivan household, he shrugged his shoulders. "It's just the usual family fun and games, plus I've been trying to talk Sinead into playing music at the restaurant again. I think I'm getting through to her now." He smiled to himself as Alex asked if he'd got up to anything wild. "I haven't had time for wild in a long time. I've just had to work and be serious all this time. How about you? Any crazy escapades?

James Porter

"Yeah, he said that," James confirmed, still unable to believe it himself. "I remember dreading telling him. I thought he'd call me out as a filthy scumbag, nowhere near good enough to be near to his daughter, and throw me out of the house. Then he surprised us both by being okay with it. More than okay, by the time he spoke to me at his party." James smirked at mention the time Shannon walked in on them. "Your mum, now her response terrified me. Mrs Sullivan was perhaps scarier than Mr Sullivan when it came to those things. I kind of miss that it's been so long since she was sarcastic with me or tried to make me squirm," he sadly reminisced. "Perhaps you being home and us two together will help her in some way."

James thought about Lucy's next question before looking her in the eyes. "I certainly thought it was possible. I thought I'd be able to get married and maybe have a family, with you. I'd never thought about it much, but once the idea was in my head I quite liked it. I'm not sure if I'd make the best father, but I'd have certainly given it my all."

Athena Archer

Athena playfully rolled her eyes. "Stop teasing Leo. I didn't know." she said, playfully punching him in the arm with a grin on her face.

She smiled as he revealed what he intended to do for the evening. "Well that sounds like a great plan." Thena spoke, listening. As he commented on the snow and the beauty of it, Athena nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it makes the city looks so magical." Athena mused with a look of awe in her eyes. At that statement, she glanced out the window to see the snow falling fairly quickly.
Athena looked to Leo, "Well, I don't know about you but I'm ready to spend this Valentine's Day with a very handsome concierge." She said, grinning gently. Athena was wearing a sweater but that obviously wouldn't suffice in the cold snow. The girl would grab a comfy coat from the coat rack and slip on a pair of scarlet boots along with zipping up her coat. The girl would lightly grip Leo's hand in hers and would then exit the apartment, being sure to utter a goodbye to her pets before leaving.

Athena instantly felt a cold chill once they went outside but still a smile was on her face. She always felt like a small child whenever there was snow.

Lucy Sullivan

Misty Gray
Lucy gave a short laugh in response to James' sadness over her mother not being sarcastic with him or intimidating. Her mother was a master a making people squirm and she had enjoyed doing it to James almost frequently. She smiled softly and shook her head slowly before she got serious as she listened to his response to her question. She noticed how he used past tense and knew that he must have thought that before she left, but now...she wasn't sure what he thought. Lucy had came to the decision that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him a while back, in September. She had felt that they could still have the future he had admitted to thinking of and actually liking.

A small smile returned to her lips as James doubted his ability to be a good father. she could imagine him as a father and she had no doubt he would be a great one. "I think you would be a wonderful father. Our children would be very loved with the two of us as parents. Though I have a feeling my mother rubbed off on me a little more than I would like to admit. Oh and they would have Lady as a best friend and partner in crime." Lucy daydreamed lightly letting herself open up a bit to what she had thought would be their future. Her smiled faded away however knowing that what once had been was not the same anymore. "But that's before I fucked up." Lucy murmured sadly.​

James Porter

James smirked when Lucy said he'd make a good father, then mentioned how she took after her mother and how Lady would be the kid's friend. He couldn't help but get lost in those thoughts for a time and imagine what it really would be like. He heard Lucy mention that she'd fucked up, suggesting those thoughts were not possible anymore. "You're right. I think we would make great parents," he said, turning to look her in the eyes. "Our children would be loved, but we'd have to hope we only had boys. I wouldn't be able to let our daughter out of our sight," he said, a nod to his protective nature. "I can imagine you turning into you mother, I really can," he teased. "Lady would love a little companion, I'm sure," he said, quickly tickling the dog behind her ears.

"Come here," he softly said to Lucy. He pulled her in close for a passionate kiss, placing one hand on her shoulder and holding the back of her head with his with his other. It was a kiss that had clearly been long overdue and James suddenly felt a huge rush of energy surge through him. When the kiss came to a natural end, he gently stroked Lucy's cheek with his hand, finding himself lost in the moment.

Vincenzo Romano

Vinnie finished his whisky and couldn't help but smile to himself as he placed the empty glass down. He had to admit, it was refreshing to have a meeting simply about actually running their businesses. Contrary to popular belief, it seemed he didn't enjoy having people killed and tortured. His meetings were much shorter and duller, but he could get used to that. One of the best thing to happen was getting rid of Emmet Sullivan.

"Nicolo, you can get yourself off out. I know you're itching to go see Olivia," he knowingly excused his son. "Just remember to make sure you're both discreet." Perhaps he didn't need to keep Olivia close to Shannon anymore, but Vinnie could never be sure if the time would still come when he needed to make use of that setup.

Vinnie then turned his focus back to Lorenzo. "I should also mention that Kane Anders is no longer an issue. Since Conor distanced himself from the narcotics business, Kane has been focusing on providing security around the Sullivans' establishments." Vinnie got up from his seat and motioned to the main hotel. "I don't know about you, but I'm going to have a few drinks in the bar to celebrate power and peace."

Olivia Svensson


When Nicolo arrived by Olivia's house, he would notice the red rose resting delicately on the snow by the opened gate. As he approached the front door, he would see the spots of red dotted around in the snow. When he reached the porch he would see Olivia knelt on the floor clutching at her abdomen with her hands which were soaked with the pouring blood. She shivered and gasped for breath, her eyes filled with tears.

Leo Davide

Leo couldn't help but smile to himself as Athena held his hand and they both left the apartment. When they stepped outside, Leo looked up to the sky and smiled as the snowflakes floated down around them. "I feel like I'm in a snow globe," he told her. He temporarily let go of her hand, realising he hadn't put his gloves back on. In that moment, Athena was grabbed from behind and pulled away from Leo. A masked man wrapped his arm tightly around Athena's waist whilst holding a gun to the side of her head with his free hand.

"Stop!" Leo shouted as he saw the man grab Athena. He was about to rush at the man when he saw the gun held at his girlfriend's head. "If you need money, Ill get it for you. Just let her go," he told the man. Though his voice sounded calm, Leo wasn't feeling that way at all. He might be friends with gangsters, but he wasn't one and he wasn't trained to deal with these situations. Before he could even think of what to do, a much larger man joined them and punched Leo in the stomach. As the young man doubled over, the blows didn't stop. Even when Leo had been knocked to the ground, the second masked man continued laying into him.

Lorenzo zoned out the rest of the meeting after his words, seeing little point. But he breifly glanced up from his work when called out for not listening, muttering a curse in Italian under his breath.

But by time Angel and Nicolo left, he had completed the paperwork he had been proofreading, and turned to Vinnie when spoken to. “Glad to hear. Although a challenge would be nice...” At the mention of drinks, he stood up, resting his paperwork on the chair he had sat in. “I’ll gladly join you.”

Nicolo Romano

Nicolo smiled when his father told him to take off, he didnt even try to hide the happiness on his face as he stood up "We will dont worry" Nicolo assured his father before walking towards the door "bye" he called over his shoulder before exiting the office and heading towards his car. He hoped Olivia was in her place and he also hoped she would want to go for dinner today. While he never showed it, Olivia made him somewhat nervous and he liked it because it meant that its real.

*************
When Nicolo pulled up outside Olivia's he jumped out the car with a goofy grin on his face. He walked up to her gate humming happily to himself as he swung his keys around his finger. He was a bit nervous about what she would say about going to dinner but at the same time he couldnt wait to see her. He saw the rose out of the corner of his eye but paid no real attention to it other than it was oddly placed. His humming stopped when he spotted something in the snow and as he looked at it, he came to the realisation it was blood. Nicolo's stomach dropped and he felt physically sick as he ran towards the house. The sight he was greeted with on the porch took his breath away and he felt like his heart had stopped beating. Nicolo dropped to his knees in the snow, he couldnt feel the wetness soaking into his jeans nor did he feel the cold all he could focus on was the blood pouring onto Olivia's hands. His eyes were wide and he could hear his heart beating uncomfortably fast in his ears "Fuck" was all her could manage as he looked at Olivia. Nicolo pushed himself onto his feet and shakily ran into the house to call an ambulance. He couldnt think, it was like his brain had shut off and he was operating on auto-pilot. After he called the ambulance, Nicolo ran back outside to Olivia once again. He could see her shivering and took his jacket off placing it around her, he knew that the cold wasnt what was wrong with her but he couldnt think straight. Nicolo then ripped his top off using it as material to put pressure on the wound. "You do not get to Die on me" he said sternly to her as tears began to pool in his eyes. "Stay awake, focus on me, please" Nicolo could hear Sirens in the distance approaching and he hoped they made it in time as he had no idea how long she had been like this

Luca could be found outside his apartment with a cigar on his right hand while wearing normal clothes. Since the death of Emmet Sullivan, Luca had been going around outside of Chicago every day in order to make sure that every business they had wasn't going to shit. "Como a estado Don Miguel? Estate todo bien??" He greeted one of the Hispanic man who lived on the same apartment as him and Kate. The two of them would go around speaking for the next 30 or so before he went up to his apartment. "I'm home." He yelled out while heading to the living room. It had been a while since he had given Kate the kiss and sure he had told her his feelings for her but considering that he had been busy. Well, he hasn't gotten an answer from her yet.

Lucy Sullivan

Misty Gray
Lucy had been almost sure that she would have a lot of making up to do to even get to the point of which James and her were imagining. But after she reminded him that she had fucked it all up, instead of agree with her, he actually agreed with what she imagined for them. It made her heart soar as he turned and looked at her. A small but knowing smile came to her face as he mentioned that he hoped they would only have boys, for he wouldn't be able to let their daughter out of his sight. "My father had said the same thing about Sinead and I." She chuckled softly. "Hell, he had been banking on a boy as the first born and when I showed up it was a little shock to him." Recalling the story that her father use to tell her about when they had her, she was their first child after all. "I'm sure if we were to have a girl, she would be well taught in how to protect herself...seeing as how you've been pushing Sinead to learn." Noting Sinead's complaints earlier about "Old Man James".

After their conversation of the little family that could potentially be, James beckoned her closer and stole her breath away in the most passionate kiss she had received in months. Lucy had been kissed more than once in New York, but something about this kiss made everything stop. She wasn't sure how long they were wrapped up in each other but when it finally came to an end, Lucy was all breathless smiles. Leaning into his hand as he stroked her cheek, they both seemed to be lost in each other and the moment. Something she had originally thought she would never be able to do with him became reality in that moment. Lucy stayed silent, not wanting to ruin any of it. She cupped his hand on her cheek and sighed happily.​

Alexandra Romano

Alex smiled fondly when she thought of her mother "I hope I have my mothers traits, she was amazing". While Alex still missed her mother greatly, she found that she could think of her mother without crying all the time or feeling that heart breaking feeling which she had been accustomed to for months after Gianna's death.
"Ah thats brilliant, she's an amazing musician she should definitely get back into it" Alex agreed as she noted the smile which Conor was wearing. It was very obvious that he had a great relationship with his family and at times that made her miss her siblings in Italy. Alena had been her best friend and when she moved Alex found it hit her extremely hard. While she always saw Athena as a little sister, Alex had grown closer to her in the last few months and nearly has the same relationship with her as Alex did with Alena. Alex adored Athena and did her best to look out for her and meet up with her regularly.
She nodded when Conor said he had just been very serious the last while and she wore a half smile "Ah im the same, I have a big girl job now so have to behave" she laughed. "Actually I havnt had an adventure since Italy" she realised suddenly.

James Porter

James grinned as Lucy spoke about her parents being surprised when their firstborn was a girl. "Well I'm sure they took one look at you and all that surprise didn't matter," he assured her. "Oh yeah, if we had a girl, she'd be able to protect herself, no question about that. Sinead is a sweet, innocent girl and she needs to stay that way, but she has to be able to protect herself. Conor and I decided she had to start learning else he wasn't going to let her leave the house without a bodyguard." James smirked as he recalled his time with Sinead earlier that day. "Funny thing is, when she finally did pull that trigger she hit the damn target head on and put me in my place."

Taking a breather from the passionate moment they'd just been caught up in, James looked to the door which showed no signs of being opened any time soon. "You know, I'm starting to think Conor and Sinead aren't even home. Things are awfully quiet out there," he told Lucy. "I'm not sure how we're going to entertain ourselves locked in here..." He suggestively ran his hands down her neck and along her collarbone. "What you do say?" he asked, before leaning in to kiss her again and gently helping her to lay back on the sofa.

Shannon Sullivan



Shannon resisted the urge to slam the front door shut when she returned home. She took a deep breath before taking her knee-high boots off and hanging her coat up. After work, she'd been in one of the bars drinking, right until all of the couples began showing up and she was basically surrounded by romantic bullshit. It was probably the only reason she was home so early and the only reason she wasn't steaming drunk. There was still time for that once she opened a few bottles at home instead. Having just heard from David outside that Lucy was home she headed straight to the lounge to find her.

"Boys, where's Lucy?" she asked Finn, Aidan and Carrick. Though she often continued to put up a strong act and a brave face, Shannon's eyes usually deceived her and showed how truly unhappy she was without her dear husband, Mr. Sullivan.

Lucy Sullivan

Misty Gray
Lucy gave a laugh at the thought of her little sister putting James in his place, but she believed that her sister possessed such skills since she was a Sullivan. James looked to the door as they both took a moment to catch their breath after the moment of passion they had just shared. Lucy looked towards it as well and wondered if James was wanting to get out of here. It saddened her a bit to think that he would want out now but when he turned to her and admitted that he thought her siblings weren't even home, and that they would have to figure out how to entertain themselves.. His eyes locked with her's as his hands suggestively ran down her neck and along her collarbone, causing Lucy to shiver slightly.

Without waiting for a response from her, he leaned in and kissed her again, gently moving her to lay back on the sofa. Lucy's back pressed against the soft sofa and she let out a soft smile as she pulled away to finally answer. "I think this could be quite entertaining." She murmured flirtatiously before wrapping her arms around his shoulders and kissing him once more.

Finn Sullivan

Misty Gray
Finn had jumped up at the sound of the front door shutting and wondered just who had arrived. When his Aunt came walking into the room, Finn could see the sadness in her eyes, clear as day. Finn knew just how hard it had been on the whole family but Shannon seemed to be continuing to take her husbands death terribly. Looking between Aidan and Carrick, Finn decided to answer the question. David must have told her that Lucy was home.

"Well, James and Lucy were avoiding each other so Conor decided to lock them in the office so they would have no choice but to talk..." Finn explained to his Aunt. He tilted his head to the side slightly and looked at his Aunt with concern. "You alright Aunt Shannon?"​

Athena Archer

Athena giggled as Leo told her he felt like he was in a snow globe. "All we're missing is a Christmas tree." She phrased, smiling. When Leo let go of her hand, she waited patiently for him to slip his gloves on. However, what happened next was unexpected. One minute Athena was looking at Leo with a happy smile on her face and the next minute an unfamiliar arm was around her waist very tightly. In another second, she felt a gun pressed against the side of her head. Athena could have struggled but the gun to her head stopped her. The girl looked as Leo negotiated with the man on how he could get him money. By this point, her heart had started to beat at a rapid speed.

Her eyes went wide as another, much larger man began to attack Leo. Her heart sunk when Leo had fallen to the ground but he kept punching him. "Stop it!" she screamed. Athena didn't know who these strange men were or why they grabbed her in the first place.
"What do you want?" Athena questioned, feeling scared and hopeless in that moment.

Conor Sullivan

Conor smiled fondly as Alex spoke about Sinead being an amazing musician. It often saddened him how much of an impact the Romanos had inflicted on his sister's life. She'd gone from having her independence and singing with a jazz band in fancy clubs to having to be pushed into playing the piano in a restaurant. A year ago, she'd been carefree, flirty and fiery, but now she struggled to go a full day without appearing troubled. He would do everything in his power to get his sister back onto the path she was destined for and the one deserved.

"Shit, we sound like adults," Conor said, chuckling as Alex mentioned her big girl job. "I'll have to swing by that place sometime. What kind of restaurant is it, again?" he asked her. "I haven't had a vacation in ages. I was a bit jealous when my mam took Sinead to Ireland. I'm not sure when I'll get another holiday like that." He shrugged his shoulders. "Though if things stay as calm as they have been lately, I might get a chance to do just that. All I want is peace and to just get on with managing my businesses. I do hope your old man somehow shares those intentions."

Kate Henderson



"Welcome home," Kate said to Luca as he greeted her. She'd had a boring day as the tailor's shop was closed on Mondays so she didn't have to go into work. She knew Luca had been out checking on the Sullivans businesses, as he usually did. She was quite concerned by just how quiet things were, though perhaps Vinnie finally had got what he wanted and was happy with the outcome. All she knew was this city was vile and always looking over her own shoulder was growing tiresome. "How are things going?" she asked Luca. "Is Conor's new empire still afloat?"

​

"Now where's the fun in that?" Angel jokingly responded when she questioned the surprise. He kissed her on the top of her head, squeezing her tight. When Sinead told Angel she still loved him, it was like a wave of relief had drowned his tingling senses. After a couple more seconds of the embrace, he spoke again. "Let me drive you back home, this weather is getting nasty." He gently took her hand, leading her back to his 1949 Chevrolet.

He opened the passenger door for her, before climbing in himself. Once inside he, shoved the key into the ignition. The headlights of the car ran down the road, partially obstructed by the falling snow. "If your family starts shooting at me when I go to drop you off, I'm jumpin'." He jokingly said, pulling off of the curb. Ultimately bad intentions or not, it felt good to have Sinead back by his side. He had missed being with someone who didn't want to shove a knife in his windpipe. He looked to her as he drove, reassuring himself that he had won her back.

Shannon Sullivan

When Finn spoke up, Shannon managed a weak smile in her nephew's direction. She raised a curious eyebrow when he explained Lucy and James had been locked in Conor's office. "Ah, that's sounds about right from Conor," she remarked. She then looked to Carrick and pointed towards the chest of drawers nearby. "Carrick, be a darling and get the spare key so you can let them out of the office. I'll be right behind you," she told him.

Shannon then directed her attention back to Finn who had asked her if she was alright. "I've been better, Finnian, dear," she drily told him. "There's just not enough alcohol in the world to change that. You're going to have to think of a way to cheer your aunt up because drinking alone is no fun, let me tell you!"

Olivia Svensson

When she realised Nicolo had found her, Olivia opened her eyes and looked directly at him. Despite the pain, panic and exhaustion, she felt at least glad she would suffer or die alone. She watched him unlock and pushed open the front door. In her state, she'd barely managed to push the key in the hole before collapsing onto the ground. She was grateful when he eventually returned to her side and used his top to try stem the bleeding. She hadn't been shot. The man who did this got close and stabbed her before passing on a message. She knew she had to tell Nicolo in case she never got another chance. Even if she survived, she'd already planned to lie to the cops and tell them she was mugged. She knew how this all worked by now.

As she heard Nicolo plead with her to focus on him, followed by the distant sirens, she looked her romantic interest in the eyes. "He said it... it's from Emmet Sullivan," she weakly told him, the Swedish part of accent sounding stronger than usual. She felt so cold and tired, but she did her best to remain conscious.

Leo Davide

The large man eventually finished attacking Leo and left the young man sprawled out on the snow covered floor. The other man released Athena but kept his gun trained on her as he backed away. "Tell the Romanos this is a gift from Emmet Sullivan," the gunman told Athena and Leo. His voice was muffled beneath his mask, making it quite difficult to pinpoint his accent. The two masked men rushed off down the street.

Leo pushed himself up so he was sat in the snow. He spat some blood out of his mouth before pressing his scarf against his bleeding nose. His ribs hurt and his head pounded, but he was just glad Athena wasn't injured. "Athena, are you okay? We..." he began, trying to catch his breath back. "We can't give Vinnie that message," he begged her. He couldn't be the one to give the Romanos more fuel to retaliate, not when the city had been so calm lately.

[Lazy Taco]

During the time that Carrick had been at his room, he had switched clothes before he had decided to head back down and hang around with Finn and Aidan, but then his mother had come from wherever she went to. He hadn't said at all to her, just hearing her speak with Finn before it turned to the location of Lucy. When he was told to go get the key, he had quickly stood up and gone to get it on the drawer before heading up the stair case and stand in front of the room. He wasn't told to open the room so he decided to wait for his mom to come and open the door.

"Everything has been going well." He answered when Luca saw Kate come to the living room. "It still coming along, he just needs that push that would make him a great leader like Emmet." When he said the name, he became quiet, mostly because he was blaming himself for the death of Emmet. He should had been there protecting him at all cost, he should had taken those bullets instead. But instead Emmet was now dead and he couldnt do anything about it. "So how has work been???" He questioned her with a small smile. "I hope you hadn't miss me during my days of absences." He joked.

Sinead Sullivan​

"Well, I guess there isn't much fun in that. Although sometimes a girl just needs clues to know how to dress," Sinead replied with a giggle. She sighed contently when Angel kissed the top of her head and hugged her tighter. It almost made her feel disappointed when he said he'd drive her home, but the weather wasn't getting any better, it seemed like the snow was beginning to turn to rain. Rain was no fun at all. "Okay," she agreed. She stepped away from their embrace and allowed him to take her hand to lead her to his car.

Sinead thanked him as he opened the car door for her and she climbed into the passenger seat. She rested her head back on the seat's headrest, but turned to she could look at Angel's handsome face and those eyes of his that always seemed to draw her in. She frowned as he mentioned her family shooting at him. "You're probably best dropping me off a short way from my place so there's no chance of that happening," she suggested. She briefly ran her fingertips down his arm as he drove and smiled as she got lost in the moment. "I wish we'd found each other again sooner," she told him. There would always be a huge part of her heart missing, belonging to her dad, but having Angel back by her side at least filled another big chunk of it.

Finn raised an eyebrow as Shannon sent Carrick off to find the spare key that Finn had no idea had existed, otherwise he probably would have let the pair out sooner. But his attention was turned to his aunt and her response made him frown, which was something he rarely did anymore. "Well, if you are in need a drinking partner I could certainly volunteer!" Finn shrugged his shoulders offering his aunt a smile then. He was helping everyone in this house emotionally cope with everything, why should it be any different for his aunt?

"Unless you don't want to, I would totally understand that it might be odd drinking with your nephew." Finn said quickly, noting that she may feel this way. "But it could be lots of fun, and since Conor has been busy with the business I don't really have a drinking buddy either these days."​

Alex laughed at the prospect that they were now adults "who let this happen?, like im not ready to be an adult". While she said this in a joking way it did scare her a little bit how she was technically an adult. "It's Thai, I would have loved an Italian restaurant but I didnt want it to have any ties with my family" she said with a shrug "you should definitely swing by some time, ill give you the best seat in the house" Alex winked at him after she finished speaking.
She listened as he spoke about hoping to go on a vacation "Yeah I hadnt been on one since I was a child, so Italy was a nice change but I couldnt live there" she looked up to him with a playful smile "I'd miss you too much" she said in a slightly teasing tone. A slight frown played on her features "I honestly dont know what my father wants, I think he's happy at the minute with the peace but who knows" she shrugged "hopefully he does keep it the way it is and maybe we could go somewhere exotic together"

Shannon Sullivan and James Porter

Shannon smirked as Finn made his offer of being her drinking partner. "Oh, Finnian, what a sweet idea. I wouldn't find it odd at all, though aren't you afraid your aunt would cramp your style?" she half-joked. "You just set the time and place, I'll be right there with you, lad. I can't guarantee I'll be able to drink as much as Conor and I can't carry you home like he might."

On that note, Shannon headed to the office where she saw Carrick standing outside the door. Letting out an exasperated sigh she took the key out of his hand and unlocked the door herself, not saying anything before pushing the door open. "Lucy, I-" she began, but stopped a couple of feet into the room as she saw Lucy laid back on the couch with James over her kissing her neck. "Oh, for the love of..." she began. She stuck her hand out in front of Carrick's eyes, making a half-assed attempt to shield him as she realised he'd probably seen enough already. "Welcome home, Lucy! Settled in?" she sarcastically asked.

"Shit!" James hissed. He had only just taken his shirt off when the door swung open, with Shannon and Carrick stepping into the room. He kept one leg on the couch as he reached for his shirt. After making sure Lucy was covered up, he stood up and quickly put his shirt on, looking only at Lucy as he felt his face turning a deep shade of red.

Lucy Sullivan

Misty Gray
Things had gotten quite heated between the pair as Lucy's mother and brother walked into the room. Lucy gasped and looked to the both of them with wide eyes before fumbling to grab the blanket that sat on the back of the couch, covering her almost completely bare body with it. James cursed and hurried off of her after making sure she was completely covered and Lucy quickly stood up as well. Walking over to the side of the sofa, she grabbed her clothes that had been thrown on that side and looked to James,s seeing how red his face was she couldn't help but smile in embarrassment before turning to face her brother and mother.

"Uh...settling in is definitely another way to put it." Lucy said in a bit of a sarcastic tone as well. Not that she was trying to challenge her mother, but she just couldn't help it. After a moment, she cleared her throat and looked between James and his mother. Poor Carrick was probably scarred for life now because of her and any hope of them rekindling just went out the window, she wrapped the blanket tighter around her body and held both her clothes and the blanket in one hand while running her fingers through her hair with the other. "Its nice to see you again mother...I am sorry it had to be like this...again." She shook her head and let a small smile show. Despite being caught by her mother and youngest brother, Lucy was still feeling the endorphins of having been in James' arms, the pink in her cheeks seemed to be permanently painted.​

Nicolo Romano

Nicolo applied a slight pressure to her wound with his top and watched how quickly it stained, there was too much blood coming from her body and he felt sick that he couldnt help her. There was nothing he could do and in that moment, Nicolo felt useless and weak. When she looked up at Nicolo made eye contact with her, he could have got lost in her eyes, terrified it was the last time he would get to look at them. When she spoke, Nicolo's blood ran cold, and the anger was overwhelming. The Sullivans, he was going to kill every last one of them for this. As he looked at Olivia he pushed his anger to the side as he knew she needed him in that moment. "Your going to be okay, the ambulance is nearly here just please stay awake Olivia, for me" he pleaded with her. He used his free arm to wrap around her , hoping to give her some sort of comfort. "Im going to kill him, he'll pay for this" Nicolo mumbled quietly. After a couple of seconds the ambulance pulled up infront of the house and two parametics came running up with a stretcher. He watched as they put Olivia onto it and wheeled her to the ambulance. Nicolo got into the ambulance with them and sat at Olivia's side holding her hand the either ride to the hospital.

*****************
Once at the hospital, Olivia was rushed off to surgery and Nicolo was made wait in the waiting room after being told that they would inform him when they got any information. Nicolo paced the waiting room as he dragged his hands down his face, his eyes were welling up with tears and he had a lump in his throat like he was going to cry. She couldnt die, she couldnt leave him, he had already lost too much to lose her also. Remembering what she had said about the message, Nicolo made his way over to a payphone in the corner of the room and dialled in the hotels number. "It's Nicolo, tell my father he needs to come to the hospital now" Nicolo ordered when a man picked up the phone, before the man had any time to answer him, Nicolo hung up and began to pace again. He couldn't get himself to leave the. Hospital but this information was too important to hold onto. The Sullivans were retaliating and his Father needed to know

Vincenzo Romano

As Vinnie and Lorenzo were sat at the bar, one of the front desk staff members approached the two men. The young woman told them Nicolo had called and said Vinnie needed to come to the hospital, but that was all the information she had. Vinnie's immediate thought was something had happened to Alex. He knew he shouldn't have let her move out of the house. "Lorenzo, come on," he said, meaning for his cousin to go to the hospital with him.

Once at the hospital, Vinnie located his son and rushed over to him. Seeing some bloodstains on the young man his worry grew deeper. "Nicolo, what's happened? Is Alexandra alright?" he worriedly asked.
