Vinny Da'Marco's Story

Vincenzo/Bambi
Vincenzo sat on the wore out dirty blue couch in his friend, Joe’s run down house in lower West Belrose. Gun shots could be heard near by and the neighbors seemed to be in a pretty violent argument. He was too drugged up to care at the moment he had just shot his arm full of heroine for the second time today. He couldn't exactly focus to get up and go home, he was supposed to be home an hour ago, not that he normally had a designated time to be home, he wouldn’t listen to it even if he did, but today was different. It was important for him to be home. He took a deep breath as he pushed himself up off the couch.

“You going to be alright to drive home sweetheart?” he couldn’t exactly tell who was asking him, it was a girl he knew that much. Most likely Joe’s girlfriend Kandy. he was pretty positive she had a thing for him and to be honest he’d love to hook up with her, but he’d never do that to Joe, his best friend.

“I’ll be fine.” He answered plainly and the words seem to come out slow and elongated. He gave a two finger wave as he pushed the rickety screen door open.

His Lamborghini was parked on the street, but everyone knew who’s car that was and they knew better then to mess with it, that was suicide. The engine roared to life and he took off way faster than the speed limit as he made his way home.

The Da’Marco estate's staff bustled around the large mansion getting everything ready for the Christmas party, that the Da’Marco’s held every year, exactly two weeks for Christmas. The VanCamp’s along with the Ravenwood’s would be in attendance, including Jenifer Epsen, Steven Ravenwood’s ex-wife who was still close with the other wives. Also in attendance would be Ethan Crowe, the hitman and if he so wished his family, The Delfavero family, one of the more involved families, along with other families. Soft Christmas music played throughout the Da’Marco mansion and it was decorated in greens and reds. The dining room was being set to Mrs. Da’ Marco’s perfection.

“Where is that son of yours.” Vivien sighed, of coursed dressed in a long elegant silver dress.

“Which one my love?” Frankie asked, his Italian accent was light, but it was there.

“Vincenzo, he was supposed to be here an hour ago” she breath worried as she leaned very the sink feeling slightly sick. Frankie gently rubbed her back .

“He’ll be here, or I’ll kill him.” He smirked teasing though he was completely serious.

“MA!” Bambi’s screamed from across the house as if she was being murdered.

“Oh dear god.” Vivien said under her breath.

“There’s no fucking way I’m wearing this pink piece of shit dress. You like it so much you fucking wear it!” She yelled as she stormed into her parents huge room, throwingthe dress on the ground. Before walking out of the room letting out a loud frustrated breath.

“Damn it Frankie say something!” she looked to her husband.

“I’m not going to force her to wear it dear.” He said smirking a bit as he headed down stairs the families would be showing up any moment now.

Bambi was in a bad mood, s she searched through her walk-in closet for a dress that would really piss off her mother. Perfect she thought as she pulled her black and red Goth style dressoff the hanger. This would also catch the attention of a few guys in particular, probably all the guys though. It was Bambi after all. She made her way out of the large closet as she set her dress down on her bed in her room, and started to strip down, before slipping it on. Her hair already done up, she heard the doorbell ring, causing her to smirk a bit at the thought of all the guys that would be there tonight. A light tap on her window brought her from her thoughts. She glanced to her window seeing her oldest brother, he did this a lot.

She opened the window though blocking it so he couldn’t climb through. “This isn’t a McDonalds you know.” She teased “What the hell are you doing, you know Dad’s going to kick your ass.” She said knowing how their dad gets when he needs them to actually participate.

“Just fucking let me in already BamBam.” He was still on drugs but, he was good at keeping it together.

Bambi rolled her eyes. “You’re welcome” she said moving so he could climb in waiting to speak aging until he was out of ear shot “ass hole.” She breathed as she slipped on her six inch black and red heels.

Vinny stumbled to his room quickly. Stopping in front of his little brothers room opening the door looking to him.

“Hey fucker give me my eye drops back!” he said in a hush tone. His younger brother being the only one besides his father that was aware of his older brothers drug addiction.

Bambi
Bambi made her way down stairs against her will, it was something her father had asked of her, had her mother asked she’d be in her room no doubt about that. She come down here and socialize, but she wasn’t going to clean her bad habits up, everyone knew what kid of girl she was, therefore she didn’t feel the need to act or behave like a proper lady, like her mother would want her too. She boredly leaned on the staircase, her mother giving her dirty looks seeing the dress she was wearing. Bambi simply cocked her head to the side with a devilish smile giving her mother a taunting wave, before walking the rest of the way down the stairs.

She heard a familiar voice complimenting her dress. She turned to see the attractive hitman all cleaned up. Almost like a Gucci or Prada model. A playful smirk lit her thin nude colored lips. Ethan was one of the boy she’d hope to catch the attention of, along with a few others.

“I really don’t give a fuck what my parents think.” She smirked “You look pretty good yourself, who knew you could clean up.” She teased him “If your looking for my father he’s over there somewhere.” She said not really caring what her parents were doing. “I should probably go find Danny though. Maybe you’ll make some time for me later this evening.” She softly batted her eyelashes waiting for his reply. But they were interrupted, before she got her answer.

“Ahh, here he is the amazing Mr. Crowe.” Frankie said coming up with a few other high power business men. “The kids got a gift.” He said, giving him a friendly pat on the back before turning to his youngest daughter. “Bambi, why don’t you go see where your brothers are and Danny, is she still getting ready?” he said giving his daughter a stern look, that she knew well. It meant you have no business talking to Ethan, go find something to do.

“Oh, how silly of me…I forgot, I’m just a little girl.” She said in a sarcastic tone “Let me just go fetch your golden children.” She rolled her eyes as she headed back up the stairs towards Danny’s room, she could care less what her brothers were doing.

Vincenzo /Bambi

Vinny snatched the eye drops from his brother, seeing his sister come through the window like he had. He looked up putting two drops in each eye. He smirked at his sister as she passed him.

“Da’Marco’s aren’t ugly sis.” He called after her as he followed her heading to his own room to get dressed.

He slipped on a casual outfit, that really wasn’t his style but he didn’t want to hear it, he was already going to be lectured about making the family look bad for being late. He took his cell phone out of his pocket checking it. He had a missed call from River. He debated calling her back, but decided against it. He normally would, but he wasn’t exactly thinking clearly.

He made his way down the stairs, walking over to his mother who gave him an it’s-about-fucking-time look. “Glad you decided to join us dear.” She smiled. He kissed her forehead like he always did. “Sure thing.” He smirked.

“How are those lovely children of yours Vincenzo?” one of his mother’s snobby friends asked in a snarky tone of voice. He never intended on keeping his kids a secret everyone who knew the family knew Vinny had two kids. “It’s a shame their mother is so trashy.” The women including his mother laughed.

“My kids are none of your fucking business.” He said rising his voice a bit. He didn’t stand trash talk about his kids or River. “And you should learn shut your fucking mouth about their mother, or I’ll do it for you.” Mrs. Da’Marco’s eyes widened and the women shut her mouth the moment Vinny raised his voice. Vinny took a breath before walking away, this party reminded him why he hung out on the west side. He made his way between groups making an appearance like he was asked to.

Bambi gave a light knock on her older sister’s door. “Hey Danny.” She smiled “You alright?” she asked worried, she may not be her sisters but, they looked like they could be and they were definitely close enough most the time people mistake them as being the twins. “If I have to be down there with all of those fake assholes, so do you.” She smirked offering her hand to her sister. Her and her sister making their way down stairs. Though their mother pulling both of them aside.

“What the hell do you girls think you doing wearing this skanky shit.” She said in an aggravated tone, though so only they cud hear.
Bambi looked to her sister “Did you hear something Danny?” she said looking back to her mother with an irritated look, before walking off not forcing her sister to follow if she didn’t want to.

Bambi smiled to Adrianna. “Uhh…”she looked around seeing her older brother but not Giovanni. “Gigi? That’s a good question.” she looked back to Adrianna, as her brother was now behind her. She smirked at his comment. “When have you ever known me to stay out of trouble? Huh?” she winked to him playfully. She saw the youngest Ravenwood come in and in all honesty she liked the girl, she didn’t have a problem with any of the Ravenwood’s or VanCamps. “Cute dress Bre.” She smiled. She felt as though she had to be nice to her, even though she hated being nice, it just wasn’t in her blood. She was after all the youngest of the eight of them.

Vinny/Bambi
The comments made about his family, completely pissed him off, yeah it was a broken family, but it was still his and he was extremely possessive of it. The oldest son was in a god awful mood now, he had to get out of the house before he strangled the lady. He made his way into the back yard. The garden was lit by the full moon and the white and blue Christmas lights. He inhaled the ocean air deeply trying to calm his nerves it didn’t help that he was still on drugs. He placed both hands on the wall of the side of the house and his temper started to get worse the more he thought about it. He clenched his fists as tightly as he could before one collided with the side of the house causing an indent and his knuckles to crack open, gushing blood, it streamed down his arm and drops hit the cement below him.
His mind started wondering, he needed to talk to Ethan. He ignored the blood the dripped from his hand and he was numb to the pain. He found the hitman sitting at one of the tables. He sat across from him grabbing one of the white cloth napkins and wrapped pressed it to his bleeding knuckles.
“I got a job for you.” He smirked, he wasn’t best friends with Ethan, but he seemed to be okay with the hitman, which was a good thing. “I’d do it myself, but…this one could get traced back to me.” He said as his eyes wondered to his younger sister. “shit am I interrupting something?” he smirked just noticing his sister sitting next to the hit man.

Bambi playfully hit her brother’s chest “Stop sugar coating everything Gi, Danny made plenty of sense.” She watched her sister leave, before glancing back to the group that still stood in front of them “Well it really has been a pleasure, but I’ve got some trouble to cause.” She smirked giving a polite but very sarcastic curtsey. She linked arms with her brother dragging him off with her.
“I can’t wait for this damn thing to be over.” She sighed “Were l’d enough now we should be able to have our own party…don’t you think?” she asked her brother as they walked around a bit. The two of them going to a bar, asking the bartender to mix her something strong, she took the shot from the bartender taking it down quickly.
“You should really go talk to some of the pretty ladies, I’m sure they’d love that.” She smirked. “I’m going to go see what I can do about that cutie.” She said shoving the shot glass into her brothers hands before taking off in the direction of a young guy.
Though getting side tracked seeing Carrie. “Delfavero, where are those sexy ass brothers of yours?” she teased going over to the girl.

Vinny
“Fucking Police are always after me!” he said irritated “I remembered why I liked you so much” Vinny smirked as he glanced to his sister.

“Cover for me.” He said looking straight at her “If Pap finds out about this I’m dead especially bringing that shit here and now.” He said standing up. Vincenzo Da’Marco couldn’t exactly blend in, he stuck out completely in this group of people.

Vinny stood up walking over to his sister kissing the top of her head lovingly, he may be completely crazy, but he was one damn good big brother that was for sure. “Love you sis.” He said just in case he was caught or something happened. Vinny headed out to his car getting in before taking out the phone and dialing River’s number.

A few rings and then straight to voicemail, usually meant he was in the dog house. He decided to leave a voicemail.

“Come on baby doll stop acting like this, answer your fucking phone, I’m coming over.” He said hanging up the phone. He was getting ready to start the car before there was a tap on his window.

SHIT. He thought rolling down his window.

“Can I help you?” he smirked seeing that it was the VanCamps daughter “Your looking good tonight.” He said smoothly.

Bambi/Vinny
Bambi rolled her eyes a bit frustrated with the whole situation. She hated not being able to be with Ethan, sure there was a four year age difference and he wasn’t a “Mafia Royal” but she cared a lot about him, she felt safe with him.

“Yeah, well that’s never going to change.” She breathed wanting to lean on him but knowing she could, not here anyways. ”Well why can’t I be your girl. ” she smirked as she spoke in a low voice. ”I’m sure we could get away with it. ” she said looking at him as she looked to the bartender handed her a drink not even having to ask.

Vinny was busy flirting with Adrianna when his phone rang. “Give me a second got to take this.” Walking a bit away from the Vancamp daughter.

“Miss me yet?” he said in a cocky tone of voice as he answered the phone, the drugs were wearing off and he could think a bit more clearly. Maybe when he went over this time it wouldn’t end up in a fight like always. “How are our kids.” He said in a softer tone, he always referred to them as "there’s", whether they hated each other or not.

Vinny
Vinny loved hearing her voice, it gave him a sense of peace he was really the best thing that had ever happened to him, her and those kids. But, no matter how hard he tried he just couldn’t seem to get it right and that killed him.

He smiled when she mentioned he had asked about him and how his little girl was getting bigger. He swallowed hard regretting not being there every day. But in all honesty, with the lifestyle he lived he couldn’t. “I miss them.” He said, the pain was evident in his voice. He paused for a moment at her next question. He was having a hard time coming up with an answer, he couldn’t understand why, finally he was able to come up with something. “I’m not dead yet, so I guess I’m doing good.” He teased but he meant it.

The line was quite for a moment “I was hoping, we could spend Christmas together this year. I mean the four of us.” He spoke smoothly and he wouldn’t blame her if she said no, in fact he was anticipating her saying no, before she could answer he spoke again. “You can give me your answer in twenty minutes.” He smiled into the phone, before hanging it up. Twenty minutes was how long it took for him to get to River’s Apartment. He got in his Lamborghini, as he headed over to her house. This was the first time they had been able to have a normal conversation in a long time. That probably had something to do with the fact that he was actually pretty sober for the first time in a while. But, it would only last for tonight.

Vinny/Bambi
Vinny over a bit over the speed limit as he made his way to see River and his kids, a thought started to plague his thoughts, a very bad idea. A smirked played on his lips it would piss off his mother and his father, but why in the hell not just go with it anyways. He glanced to the passenger’s seat a bouquet of red rose he had stopped and bought the nicest thing he had done for River since before the kids were born. He pulled into the parking lot of her apartment complex as he made his way up the stairs giving a small quiet knock, sure he could walk in, he had a key after all but he always knocked. He waited for her to answer the door.

“Hey babe.” He smirked handing her the roses, before kissing her forehead like he always did and walking into the apartment seeing the kids still asleep he glanced to River. “You and the kids are coming back to the party with me.” He stated almost ordering her “Throw on the red dress of yours and come to dinner.” He smirked.
---
Bambi and Ethan were in a heated moment before her thoughts slightly cleared up and she pulled away from him.
“Shit!” she said collecting her thing. “Ethan we have to get back now! Dinner, if I’m not there, my father is going to kill me.” She said grabbing her stuff and tossing his keys to him “Hurry!” she said slightly panicked. She had completely forgotten about dinner.

Vinny/Bambi
Vinny felt his phone vibrate in his pocket he glanced to River “I have to take this.” He said regrettably as he stepped outside for a moment. Putting the phone to his ear “What’s up? Everything good?” he asked casually, waiting for a reply.

“oh fuck I’m so screwed.” Bambi took a deep breath slightly hitting her head against the head rest.

Vinny’s eyes narrowed a bit “Is that my sister?” his tone a bit irritated as he waited for the hit man to answer “Ethan I swear to god if your fucking around with my sister…” he trailed off remembering where he was.
