Chapter 150: My brother?

River POV

"Flame" I say moving so she can see my face, I softly caress her cheek.

"Your safe. With me" I say. She looks at me and blinks a few times. She touches my cheeks then my nose "Your eyes are wrong my love my sweet Cervello" she leans up and tries to kiss me.

"Flame sweetie it's River not Brain" she flinches back and looks at me for a minute then she puts her head in her hands and cries.

"Shhhh it's okay, I'm here and you safe. She loosens her grip on my arm but keeps it there. Someone knocks again she jumps and tightens her grip "Shhhh it's okay sweetie" I didn't want to yell to scare her "Close your eyes and open the door" the door slowly opens it's Pickle.

I reach for his hand, he tries to walk forward but stumbles over her clothes thrown there "This is stupid I've seen her naked plenty of times" he opens his eyes and looks at me. He looks at my arm "Damn it!" He says walking fast to me.

He's movement makes her jump "Fiammetta look at me" he says a little harshly. I give him a stern look and he talks a little softer "Fiammetta look at me it's Pickle. Look at me" he slowly grabs her hand and gentle pulls it from me and moves it to his chest. "Sweetheart I'm going to lift you out and we'll dry you off I have some clean clothes for you" she looks at him, she caresses his cheek.

He sweeps her up in his arms. She looks at his face and touches his lips with her finger. Then she quickly kisses him. He stops and doesn't move for a minute. He closes his eyes and pulls her closer. After a minute I cough. His eyes fly open and he looks at me. I just give him a questionable look "River it's..." I put my hand up "We can talk later" he carries her to me and I wrap a towel around her the best I can.

He looks from her to me a few times. I would like to know what the fuck that was and by the guilty look on his he's just as confused.

We go to the bed, he sets her down next to some clothes. He looks at me and I shake me head.

"Can you stand please sweetie and I'll dry you off" I say touching her arm softly so she knows I'm here.

She turns and looks me, she caresses my cheek.

"I'm sorry I kissed you, you just looked like someone else for a minute. You and your brother look alike I've never noticed it before now."

What?! My brother? She's still so confused. Pickle is looking at me he's eyes big. I shake my head shrugging a little.

Pickle quickly turns her to him "My brother remember Brain is my brother" she looks confused still and she looks between me and him for a minute.

I look at Pickle and he looks nervous. Flame's eyes open wider and she says "Oh god River, I'm sorry I didn't mean to" she clothes her eyes tightly. Pickle asks "Sweetheart are you good now?" She turns quickly to him. She looks down and realizes she's naked she pulls the towel tighter around her body. She looks at me then back to Pickle and punches him in the chest "Get the fuck out!" She yells then she punches him again this time in the mouth "That's for kissing me back, what the fuck were you thinking" she yells in his face.

"Fuck Flame!" He yells grabbing the small trash can and spitting blood into it. "We have to leave in twenty minutes. Giovanni and the suits are here" he grabs his jaw below his chin and moves it a bit.  "Glad your back sweetheart, now let's go bring our boy home" she looks at me "Ohhhh god River I'm so sorry" she starts crying softly.

Pickle rubs her back. She turns and gives him a death stare. He throws his arms up and goes to the door. "River" she says looking at me "Please forgive me, I was so confused" I shake my head at her "You have nothing to be sorry about" I tell her hugging her tightly. Pickle touches her shoulder caressing her with his thumb and she yells at him "Did I knock a screw loose? Get out!!" He smiles at her then at me softly as he walks out closing the door I hear Lucky laugh and say "good she's back"

"Not now Lucky. Fuck!" he yells out.

The door shuts. I look at her and smile "let's get you dressed" she smiles at me "River I'm sorry, I shouldn't have kissed Pickle. It's been a long time since we were together. My head is all crazy, I'm not making excuses. I was so confused" I stop her "Flame,  I know how it is sometimes. When I met your brother at the fights I could swear that I knew him from before. When our thoughts get jumbled it gets hard to know what's real and what's not"

I hug her again. She starts crying again. "Do you ever imagaine how it would be to get your memories back or your brother?"

I smile at her softly "Everyday. I hope and wish for my brother and my mother everyday. I don't know if I will get my memories back and sometimes I hope never do. Sometimes I dream of a boy I think I once knew. Sometimes I think I made him up but other times he feels so real and in those dreams I can feel all my emotions for him." I laugh "sorry it's silly but the eyes from the boy are like your brothers so it really confused me. Obviously I know they're not the same person Finn told me that you guys went to some fancy private school" I smile at her and she looks so broken. "I can feel the feelings I felt for this boy and it's so strange cause I can never see his face just his eyes"

"What kind of feeling do you feel in the dreams?" She asks as she's holding her clothes.

"It's like I feel safe when he's around me and I was never safe at that time. Butterflies and warmth and love. Sometimes I can even feel his hand in mine" I blush.

"Our minds play tricks on us sometimes. Oh and sometimes the boy calls me a different name in a differant language. I forget what it was I haven't thought about it for a minute but I have it written in one of my journals, I think it's Italian maybe one day you can help me look into it"

I stop and look at her, she looks so sad.

"Sorry you must miss your brother as much as I miss Finn" I give her a hug "Do you want me to help you get dressed? She shakes her head.
