People do stupid things when they are in love

Everyone was silent, a dead silence had reached the environment. No one had the courage to explain what had happened, nor did they have the exact words to use. So we were simply silent, showing that the untold story was not satisfying.

"What exactly happened Savaios?" Mel asks louder and his voice sounds quite authoritative.

I had the impression that even Filipe was shaken by his authority and his "angry mother" attitude. I just ignored her, watching the three huddled while eating melon.

"Please my dears, go to the small reception in the garden and in a few minutes we will come to you". Mel asks politely for all the guests.

Everyone gets up promptly, as if they are afraid of her. But I believe even the Justice League would have obeyed her at that point. I took a sweet roll, my bag and tried to leave quickly following the other guests.

"Not you Julia." Mel says making me stop.

I look at her confused and turn to walk towards the exit.

"Giulia, come here immediately." Mel speaks with the highest tone of voice.

"I knew!" I squeal with excitement. "I knew I knew my name and I only pretended to forget it, just to piss me off. Which logically I found out from the first moment, after all I am unforgettable". I say as I go back to sit next to them.

They look at me a little surprised, possibly at my lack of concern for Mel's stress. But it's that thing, those who shouldn't, don't fear. I even should, but it was little, so I would pretend that nothing happened.

"I want to know why you guys got into a silly fight again, looking like two kids." _Mel rages, furious.

"It was Filipe mother, again wanting to be superior and putting me down". Fernando shoots quickly, making me stare at him with an arched eyebrow.

"I don't need to put you down Fernando, you're nothing. So there's nothing else I can do." Filipe counters with an ironic smile on his lips.

"Did you see mom?" Fernando gets up, pointing rudely at Filipe. "Philip always does that and I won't stand for some bastard to treat me like shit." Fernando looks at Filipe as if he considered him an insect, something miserable.

I looked at Filipe and saw traces in his eyes that the words had gotten to him. My heart broke and my body reacted quickly.

I wasn't involved in the conversation, I didn't know the Savaios, but when I realized I had already hit a vase on Fernando's head.

It was accurate, but fortunately the vase was made of plaster, it would not be enough to help Fernando recover his senses.

Fernando had fallen to the ground because of the impact of the object and also because of the fright. The vase hadn't broken, but a cut still formed on Fernando's head.

I didn't feel any pity, in fact I was heading towards the other plaster vase that was a little further ahead of me.

"I think one was enough, mia." Filipe says holding me and I realize that his tone of voice was of someone who was in an amusement park. "Unless you want to be part of the mafia. You have a lot of potential, you know that?"

I finally turn to Filipe and find that smile, the smile I feared would disappear after Fernando's words. I looked in the direction where Fernando was, Vídia and her mother were beside him, worried.

I rolled my eyes, people do stupid things when they're in love. But suddenly my smile disappeared and my brain accused me. After all, I had just thrown a vase at someone's head and Fernando hadn't done anything to me.

That attitude was because of Philip, because of him. Only his. That certainty was making me short of breath and I started to feel dizzy. Not that. Not that. Anything but that. What would my plans to be a eunuch look like? That was too much for me.

"Are you okay, mia?" Filipe asks holding my body, which was limp.

"Philip, I think I need a surgeon or a healer." I say a little exasperated and Filipe looks at me confused. "Or better yet, a psychiatrist. That's it. That's what I need, and urgently." I keep talking, so fast that I doubt Philip understood half of my words.

"You are crazy?" Vidia approaches me, enraged. "What possessed you to attack my fiance Ghin?" Exalted question.

Vidia had called me by my last name and the last time she called me by that name was when I said that one direction would disband at some point or another.

Of course I was right then and I still won $50 on the bet, but now I was wrong. But what could I say? I don't think a simple apology would solve my case.

"I just…it's just you…and him…both." I stammer as I point to the people involved, but my thoughts are in total disarray.

"Your fiancé is no saint, stop playing the lawyer bride". Filipe speaks with posture making Vídia back off. "Your fiancé is alive thanks to Lia, otherwise I would have stuck him underground". Filipe speaks and faces them with glares.

Philip put his hand in his pocket and looked at them with his head held high. Philip seemed to enjoy the fear and respect he had acquired. Despite his self-importance, Filipe looked beautiful in that posture. I wanted to go over and repeat what we'd done that morning, but I controlled myself and even cleared my throat so that feeling would go down.

"And I think it's really funny that you call me a bastard, since you are one." Filipe says, going back to sit down and drink some juice. "After all, your father abandoned you and never showed up again. If my father hadn't taken you in, you'd be on the street and eating garbage. Which is what you deserve".

Filipe spoke and felt Fernando's blood boil, as if he had hurt the right place. Filipe had a gift for hurting people and pretending to be normal. I just watched him, a little proud that Filipe had said those words.
