Annas pov

"Ma do we have to go?" I ask her to put on a black dress. I take my hair out of its ponytail letting its length fall down my back. "Sadly Anna we don't worry we won't be there long. Lazaros has been complaining that we forgot about him" She rolls her eyes letting out a deep breath before walking out of my room.

I quickly put on a pair of sandals before grabbing my phone heading downstairs. "Bless Mia" Val holds my hand kissing my cheek. I smile at him burying myself deep into his side.

I have a bad feeling about going over there. It's not uncle Lazaro I'm worried about but his weird friend Aero. There was always something off about him. "Are you all ready?" Dad asked to come in from the garage.

We give him a nod and start to pile into the car. Uncle Lazaros house is about half an hour away from ours, nothing too far. "Achilles leave me alone before I shoot your foot" Alessio groans at him pushing his hands away.

"Fine your no fun anyways I'll just bother Anna" like the fuck he is "I will break your arm then make uncle Enzo heal it just so I can break it again" I threaten him he slowly pulls his arm back to his side.

"Must be on your period or some shit" he mumbles rolling his eyes. Yeah no not on my period but I really don't want to be here.

Valentino traces the tattoo going down my arm . I think that one might be my favorite. The tattoo was meant to cover up for all the cuts that I had given myself. "And we're here" Dad says, taking the keys out of the car, sighing.

"Let's just get this shit over with" Mom gets out of the car. One by one we get out. I hold Valentinos' hand standing behind him not wanting to go inside.

The bad feeling Comes back to my stomach making me feel queasy. "You bitch I've been here for two hours dying" Uncle Adriano comes out marching to mom. She laughs in his face shaking her head "Adriano I told you I wasn't coming early I could have been doing better things. Fuck it as long as I'm high by the end of the night I don't care" She tells as they continue there conversation walking inside.

Holding Val's hand tighter we walk in behind dad going outside to the backyard. Uncle Larzaro hugs us telling us how big we got. "I remember when you were small, now you're all grown up" he smiles at me. I feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

He's here

"Hello Annabeth, how are you?" Adam smiles, standing next to Uncle Lazaro with a drink in his hand. "Im fine" I squeezed Val's hand stepping behind him. He protectively pulls me closer to his side feeling the weird vibe.

He excuses us sitting next to Vincent. I sink into his side. I need a blunt or six whichever to make me not be here. "Blessima here" he hands me a cup of red wine.

"Stupid idiots I swear" Eremes says sitting on the empty chair lighting a blunt. "How the fuck do you only make seafood knowing people here are allergic to it. Now they have to buy separate food" mom and dad are both allergic so am I, Achilles, Vincent, and Eremes.

Usually we don't make seafood anyways or if we do it's cooked in a different area than regular food. "That's the first red flag right there we should leave while we have the chance" Alessio takes the blunt from Eremes. I lay my feet dangling off the arm rest putting my head on Val's lap. He rubs my head, making me sleepy.

This is not the way to keep a person awake. "Wake me up when the food comes. '' I bury my face in Val's lap, closing my eyes.

Valentinos pov

Anna's body relaxes and he breathes even out. She peacefully sleeps in my lap holding my hand. "That still makes no sense how do you just forget there are people who can't eat seafood" Vincent groans rolling his eyes.

I don't understand how either but as long as I make sure she eats. "Val I'll put her in a room" Lucky picks up his sleeping daughter I nod watching them walk away.

He usually puts her in the room closest to the living room anywhere so I'll check on her later.

Something's wrong. I can feel it but I don't know what.

Third person's pov

Val sits out in the back with everyone as Anna stays sleeping in the room. She stirs around once she hears the door close.

"Valentino?" She questions sitting up. Once her eyes open completely she hears the door lock, nothing but fear comes to her body. "Annabeth I've been waiting for this moment since you were 10. You've become more and more beautiful throughout the years. I know you're attracted to me too. Don't deny it." She tries to run out of the room but he grabs her neck tightly, throwing her on the bed.

"Get off of me Adam" She kicks him constantly in fear evident. "I love the fight but right now I just need your body" Anna feels two pricks in her arms.

Suddenly she feels her body start to give up becoming frozen. She feels more pricks In her arm while a white substance is getting shoved in her nose.

Her body stays frozen but she knows everything that is going on. Her clothes come off as she sees him get on top of her.

Tears stream down Anna's face and she feels disgusted. Adam loves the fact that she's frozen under his touch.

The bruises on her body the way she fears him makes him more attracted to her. "I'll be back later for more sleep now" Another prick happens in her arm and more white substances go up her nose.

She watches Adam leave the room looking normal. He sits back down next to Larazo with the biggest smirk on his face. Lucky goes into the kitchen looking for ice not thinking about anything.

Anna tries to stand up a sharp pain in the pit of her stomach making her fall to the floor. She can barely even keep her eyes open.

Anna weakly drags herself out of the room. Blood rushes down her thighs, her vision blurry. Lucky starts waking to the room his daughter is supposed to be in sleep peacefully to check on her. Once he sees her weakly on the floor he drops his glass rushing over to her. "Anna what happened" he grabs her helping her up.

Her body is pale and covered in bruises. "Athena calls Vincenzo" He yells out, picking Anna up. Athena looks at her daughter in shock at her state. Everyone else rushes inside looking at the scene.

Lucky rushes with Athena to their car speeding off. The others pile into multiple cars following behind them.

They make it to the hospital in a record time. Vincenzo rushes to the car with a gurney placing her on it.

Her body starts to shake, her mouth foaming up. Her parents think it's a seizure but he knows it's an overdose. "She's overdosing, get me the pump" he yells, wheeling her into the O.R immediately.

Bianca runs over to them after seeing the state of Annabeth. Just looking at her she knew what was wrong "I can't run a certain test without permission" She tells them they are still in a state of shock.

"What test Bianca?" Lucky manages to ask as Athena is on the verge of a breakdown. "I need to run a rape kit but I need consent of the parents because of her age and the state she's in" Both of there heart drops

"Run it" Athena whispers tears fall from her face. Bianca rushes back to help Enzo trying to stop the blood running down her thighs pumping her stomach of any more drugs in her system.

The kids rush in with their uncles behind them worried about Anna. They see Athena and Lucky's state knowing it's bad. "Mom Dad what the fuck is wrong with Anna" The words hurt them more.

Lucky tires to comfort Athena but she rejects it. "Just leave me I need to be alone right now" She walks to the other end of the hospital stepping out sitting on one of the chairs getting fresh air.

Lucky tells them everything he knows and all of their faces fill up with pain and anger. Adam stands behind them with a fake expression feeling no pity. He got what he wanted and he has no regrets about it.

Alessio and Achilles comfort each other feeling angry. Annas is just not their sister, she's their other Triplet. They shared a birthday; they were all in their mother's stomach at the same time.

Santo is still in a state of shock. He could never believe anything could happen to Anna, nothing like this. He couldn't wait to kill the person who laid hands on his baby sister.

Luciano Punches the wall in anger, breaking through It. He has no care for his bleeding hand. Tugging at his hair the tears stain his face, nothing stopping the pain he has in his heart.

Giovanni took it the hardest. Anna is his everything no matter what happened he was there for her. They were extremely close; they had a bond like no other. She was his rock; without her he couldn't imagine being the same person. His heart is broken for her, the pain she must be in right now.

Valentino doesn't want to believe it. His reason to live is in the worst type of pain. No female should have to go through that ever. He doesn't know how to help her through this. He does the only thing he knows, asks his mom. "Mom please send me a sign of something. How do I help her? Why is this happening to her? I know things happen for a reason but why this?" He pleads, wiping his face.

Annabeth's pov

I wake up my eyes trying to adjust to the light. I feel weak and my body aches in pain. Looking around the room Achilles has a sleeping Sofia on him. Alessio, Nicola, and Gino take up the couch all sleeping. Vincent, Eremes, Federico, and Giovani all are sitting on the floor with their heads on their knees most likely sleeping. Gabriele, Luciano and Damiano managed to fix more chairs in the room sitting in a weird position but their snores say it all.

Valentino rested his head on the side of my bed and tears all in his face. He looks more peaceful sleeping but pain is there. I raise the bed a little trying not to hurt his position. Mom and dad walk in rushing to me once they see I'm awake.

The memories of what happened flowed in rapidly as if i'm living through it again. "I'll get Enzo" is all dad says before walking out. He's probably disappointed in me.

I didn't fight enough, it's my fault.

Mom hugs me tightly trying to hold back sobs. They're going to hate me. "Where the fuck is my daughter" Uncle Adrinao burst through the door waking everyone one up.

Uncle Alessandro, Agosto, Angelo walk in behind him with Franco, Monte, Elio, and Rosario. I'm glad this room is huge because if not we would be squished. "Shut up Adriano '' mom tells him he rolls his eyes.

Aunt Bianca and Uncle Enzo walk in with charts in their hands looking at me with nothing but sadness. "Do you want everyone to be in here when we tell you?" They ask me to silently nod, not wanting to be alone.

"There were traces of Rohypnol in your system which is a well known date rape drug. There were also traces of cocaine, heroin and LSD. Whoever did this put an extreme amount in your system causing the overdose. We did the rape kit and swabbed everyone who was there. The results should be back in 20 minutes or less. I rushed it myself to the lab just to make sure there was no mix up or false results. We stopped the bleeding making sure there was no internal bleeding and took the DNA from under your nails to use that as well.

Signs of you fighting back were evident in the amount of DNA under your nails. The bruises should clear up in no more than two weeks. Applying this cream every night for the time being will help it. Your body experienced trauma and will be in pain. Do not push Yourself over the limit. I don't even know what else to say" Uncle Enzo blinks back his tears walking out biting his lip.

I look down at my hands not even wanting to look up and see the faces of pity. They all hate me. I know they do. I didn't stop him. He saw the chance and took it.

It's no one's fault but mine. Was it my clothes? How was my hair? What did I do to deserve this pain? Uncle Larazo walks in tears all over his face, his hair a mess, his eyes tired as if he hadn't slept in days. Just like that Adam walks in and my heart races I freeze.

He stares at me straight in the eyes putting his finger over his lip telling me to stay quiet. He tries to walk closer to me and I freak out. "No no please not again" I yell out trying to run away.

Everyone goes on alert trying to calm me down. I feel my lungs start to close, my face losing its color as I try to get out of the room. Not again please no. He looks at me with a wink then puts a fake concerned look.

I thought I was the only one who noticed but I was wrong. "You fucker" Giovanni blows up grabbing him by the throat throwing him against the wall. "What's wrong, I didn't do anything?" He manages to squeak out. I rip the IV out of my arm taking out the other machines trying to run away.

I won't let it happen again.

I can't let it be my fault again

Valentino catches me holding me tightly trying to calm me down. "Please let me go he's going to hurt me again" I cry out not wanting to be in the room anymore. "Now you're going to tell me why the minute you walked in she started freaking out" Gio threatens him and Adam just laughs breaking the fake expression he had.

"She felt so good around me. Her frozen state made it even better. I've been waiting to do that since she was ten. Fuck her like the slut she is always teasing me" He laughs out and Gio flips out.

His voice is stuck in my head. His sinister words on repeat. "Stop, make it stop" I cry out covering my ears trying to take his words out of my head. They start to get louder.

It was her fault

It was my fault

IT WAS MY FAULT

Mine

Mine

Mine

It was my fault

Uncle Enzo rushes in with Aunt Bianca looking at the scene. "My biggest regret was not doing it when she had fresh pussy. She'd already been fucking Valentino by the time I got to her" Now Valentino Burts taking him out of Gio's grip throwing punches at his face.

A flashing light shines in my eyes. I try to hide in the corner of the room. "Anna if you don't calm down you can have a seizure." Aunt Bianca tries to calm me down as I cry in fear. My hands tug at my hair trying to get the thoughts out of my head

You did It to yourself Anna

"Stop stop stop" I yell out a little as my voice gets louder.

Valentino will never want to be with you again

You are such a disgrace

Why did you have to be such a slut

"Im not im not please go away" I cry out my head spinning all over the room. I feel my lungs close even more struggling to breathe. A breathing machine gets placed on my nose. The feeling is strange to my body as my lungs open up. My eyes struggled to stay open. I feel my body become limp as I close my eyes.

Val's pov

Enzo sedated Anna that being the only way to get her to calm down. He picks up her limp body, placing her back on the bed. The IV get's placed back in her arm with a new bag. Bianca cleans the blood that trailed down her arm wrapping it tightly to stop the bleeding.

Adam got taken out of the room Alessandro said he's bringing him to the cell's Leo went with him. "She'll be sleeping for a while. I need to get the results from the lab. I'll be back" Enzo walks out.

I clean the blood from my hands in the bathroom sink trying to calm myself down. I have to be calm for Anna's sake. My head is thinking of 110 different ways to kill him.

400 ways to torture him

Drying my hands I go out sitting in the chair next to her. I hold her hand, putting it on my forehead. My leg bounces up and down trying to stop it but it just won't. "Who's going to be here when she wakes up?" Gabriele asks, ready to leave.

"I'll stay with her, don't kill him yet, not till I'm there" I tell them, and everyone leaves the room ready to go to the cells. Athena and Lucky stay behind looking at their daughter with an unreadable expression. Enzo comes back in with his head low.

He hands Lucky the paper, his face twisted with anger. "We pulled some blood to make sure that he didn't pass any infectious diseases. Those results will take a little bit longer, maybe about two or three hours. She should be awake by then we didn't use a strong sedation due to the fact she had already overdosed. She'll be under 24 hour supervision for the next two days. If anyone gives you a hard Time with trying to stay with her, tell them to beep me or Bianca. Don't kill them" He pointed to Athena specifically.

"I wont kill anyone if they don't fuck with me" She angrily says holding her husband hand trying to get some comfort. "Athena I have her under the best care and if you haven't checked I have a 28 hour shift today and I'm only in hour 4. I have a few surgeries to do throughout the day but all of them are simple like a broken arm. Nothing will happen to her while she is here" Enzo explains

I rub Anna's hand feeling my heart clench like someone broke it into billions of Smaller pieces. Why are there such cruel people in the world? I can understand im not the best person but rape is something no one should commit. "Im telling you from a doctors point of view to know that here she Is safe. Now as your friend I'm telling you both to go get fresh air, talk between Yourselves because when she wakes up we have to write down what she says. She might ask you to leave the room and I can't deny her that right but if she chooses you to stay no matter what she says it won't look good" They both sigh nodding I watch as they walk out enzo turns to me.

"You do know it's not your fault, you had no Control over what happened. Listen, bad things happen to good people, it's the sad reality of the world. For more that we try to protect them it just doesn't always happen like that. All we have to do is be there for her. We have no idea how she's going to react or be after this. Some people never recover, some go down the road of self harm, some don't let it phase them. It all depends on the person. No one wanted this to happen to her ever but there are just some sick fuckers In this world.

My first surgery was when a was 15 year old. She had tried to kill herself because she was raped. Drove her car into a tree, a branch through her stomach. She survived but the baby didn't. She explained that no one believed her and blamed her. After that she thanked me for not letting me die on the table and decided to go to therapy.

Everyone is different. I think Anna's going to need people there for her. Be patient with her, it'll take a while but she'll be back." Enzo pats my shoulder walking out.

I hold Anna's hand resting my head on the bed.

I promise i'll keep you safe
