Love Thy Neighbour

P R O L O G U E

“I hate you.”

The young woman slowly stated, articulating hate in each syllable.
She silently cursed at the man as she turned away, stalking off in a huff.

The young man hesitated, “I thought… I thought you loved me.”

Sighing exasperatingly, the young woman reluctantly turned around, facing the man,
“What does it matter? You… You’re a liar!”

The young man’s dark locks that surrounded his thin face veiled his eyes as he sadly shook his head at her. His eyebrows were furrowed from concern. “I have never lied to you, and you know I could never do that. But I must keep this promise.”

With arms crossed, the younger woman frowned at the man, tilting her head slightly to the left. “You know who I love.”

The man sadly nodded in response. “I know. And that is why I must keep my promise.”

“I don’t care.”

“I do. I must be honorable and keep my word.”

“Honorable?” The young woman scoffed as she threw her hands down in irritation.
“You’re throwing all this away for your honour?!”

The man’s jaw clenched. His tired violet eyes looked at the young woman.
“You don’t understand. It’s not only about my honour. It’s about him. I can never do that to him. Never.”

Her grey eyes leveled his.

“If you do not love me, I will leave you forever.”

He turned to leave, “We can never be together.”

And she softly whispered, “La vostra famiglia è maledetto.”

Feel free to tell me any mistakes or constructive feedback. :)
Oh, my Italian sucks by the way. My uncle was going to
teach me when I was little, but I was ignorant, and refused
to learn a foreign language, even my mother’s tongue...
So please tell me if it doesn't make sense.
Thanks for putting up with me, dear readers.
