"But why, Angie? Just because they're assholes, you'll leave me too? We can still do something! I'm sure Marco will believe you! Heck even grandpa will believe you! Damon, Valerio , aunt valentine! We can call them!Don't take such drastic measures, bubs. Think this through please!" He panicked.

"It's not my decision Romeo, I know for a fact that when Vincent catches wind of this....he won't wait. He will jump at the first chance to get me back." I let out a hollow chuckle.

"Please baby please think this through...." he sounds exhausted, defeated even.

I just nodded. Trust me I don't want to leave Romeo, Marco, gramps, my cousins, uncles, aunts and Ace either.

The others can just suffer. Yeah they're still my family and I wouldn't wish anything bad for them.

I just hope they'll be happy.

Ace and I may have had a fight and we may even dislike each other now, but I still remember my vow to protect him at all costs.

Two days later.

This is hell. I don't talk to anyone except Romeo and my friends. It's funny how the people I met a few days ago, believe me but the twin I knew my whole life, doesn't.

Heck even the staff here doesn't believe would do such a thing.

I just go to school, study, come home, play the piano, cry and work. That's it. I don't even eat. Romeo always comes up to my room during dinner with his plate and mine.

He always gets me to eat but I just don't. He even force fed me once and I ended up puking my guts out. He felt really bad after that.

I have dark bags under my eyes, I can't sleep because of I do, I have terrifying nightmares.

Romeo always tries to sneak into my room at night but he's always caught. He's been banned to enter my room after 9 in the evening.

I didn't know this family could be so cruel. But then again I doubt they know I have nightmares.

I always hear Romeo yelling at everyone to just let him be in my room at night. I know it's taking all his self control to just keep his mouth shut.

He wants to tell them but he's respecting my wishes unlike someone.

I'm tired of hearing them talk trash about me, I'm tired of hearing how disappointed they are when it's not even my fault.

So here I am right now, clad in black clothes from head to toe, with my backpack on my shoulder,sneaking out.

I quickly get out of the estate, without being caught.

I run over to The Costa mansion. The security guard immediately lets me in with a warm smile once he sees my face.

"Hey there little lady boss." He greets me with a goofy smile.

I give him a weak smile in return "Hi there Mr Gate knight."

He looks a bit concerned at my state.

"So are you going to let me in or what?" I force a laugh.

He laughs and ushers me into the estate.

I quickly run to the house, where the housekeeper greets me with a warm smile. She walks me to my room and assigns a maid and a guard to get me whatever I want.

I go into the closet and change into some comfy pjs.

Yes I have a whole closet filled with clothes here cause apparently, I need them for when I come over.

I open the door and tell the maid and the guard to go rest. They leave after I promise them I'll call them if I need anything.

My phone rang and Romeo's name flashed on it.

I declined the call and switched my phone off.

I walked to the big library where Vincent put a grand piano just for me.

I gently ran my fingers over the keys, knowing what I'm going to sing.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

(^^She sang this)

I really wanted to find the girl I used to be. I lost myself.

I hate emotions. They consume you and then...they slowly kill you. They're like... a drug. You get addicted and high. Then you keep craving the same high. But once someone betrays you, it's like you totally lose yourself into it, you lose your personality, your life. That's exactly the ugly part of being addicted to drugs.....and emotions. It finally kills you very slowly.

I believe hurt is the only reward for emotions and love.

All my life, I wanted nothing but love and care. I craved it. Yes I had Ace. We were the only ones there of each other. We had no one else.

But then why did I feel so lonely? I wanted my mother's love. I wanted to be her bestfriend, I wanted to have a girls day out with her...but she never wanted me. She never wanted us.

I have a distant memory of her manipulating and threatening someone to stab us when we were just two years old.

I don't remember the person's face but he couldn't have been much older than us. He didn't want to do it. He was crying and begging her not to make him do it.

But then our father and brothers arrived on time and took him away after Audrey made a show of how he was going to hurt her babies.

He wasn't going to. He didn't want to.

We never saw him again. I don't really remember what he looks like, but I do know he was related to us. But the question is, how?

I was broken out of my thoughts when the library door opened and someone walked in. It was Justice, the housekeeper.

"Ms Angelina, Master Vincent wants to talk to you." She warmly smiled and handed me the cord-less house phone.

"Thank you, Justice." I smiled back.

"Hi héros." My bottom lip quivered.

"Angel, baby what's wrong? Why did Romeo just call me saying he can't find you?" Vincent worriedly rushed out.

"Vinny I....I uh...I didn't want to stay there so I came here." I stuttered.

Great now he definitely knows something's wrong with me.

"Okay, its fine you're there but does your family know that?" He asked.

"No... no they don't. I didn't tell them." I answered.

"Now do you want to tell me what's really wrong with you and why you sound like you're going to cry any minute now?"

"N-no" I whimpered.

He sighed. "Where's Ace, love?"

"I don't know he must be very peacefully asleep back at the Rossi estate I guess?" I scoffed.

Big mistake. Now he definitely knew something happened.

"Alright then, do you want me to tell Romeo where you are?" He calmly asked.

"No." I snipped.

"Okay baby, take care, take the chauffeur to school with you tomorrow, or maybe take a day off if you want?" See this is why Vincent is the best brother ever.

He never pries, he never pushes. Because he knows and trusts that I would tell him eventually.

"No I'll just take the chauffeur tomorrow." I sniffed.

"Okay, now go to sleep little angel. We will be back in two days alright?" He cooed.

"B-but weren't you going to come back like next week?" I asked.

"We were, but you're sad and you need us so we will be there tomorrow late at night or maybe the day after tomorrow. Plus, grandpa told us to. Now go sleep." He lovingly chided and hung up.

I miss grandpa.

I handed the phone back to Justice who was looking at me with a sympathetic expression.

I just smiled at her as went outside.

I went back to my room.

I contemplated calling Romeo but then I didn't. I knew he would come running. The bitch family might get to know where I am and I don't want that.

I still don't have enough evidence-wait. Phone. I TOOK A FOOKING VIDEO.

I quickly switched my phone on, and it's a long ass video.

I quickly watched the video. It was till the point where I was cussed out by the bitch family. My phone died after that.

I have evidence now. But only for those who care.

I sent the video to Romeo and told him not to show this to ANYONE. This was just to prove I was innocent in this. I know Romeo believed me, but this would remove any doubts he might have.

I quickly switched my phone off again and laid on my bed, trying to sleep.

I can't sleep. I'm scared. So I did the only thing I could. I went into Vinny's room, and grabbed one of his hoodies. HE BOUGHT NEW ONES AND DIDN'T TELL ME. THE AUDACITY.

I quickly threw it on and guess what? It reached below my knees. Damn am I that short or is my brother just that tall?

Whatevs. This hoodie is now mine and no one, not even Jesus can say otherwise.

Vincent can.
He ain't Jesus bitch.He's over Jesus. Just because he gets scary when he's mad.
Yeah and eventually, you'll have to give his hoodie back.

......Hell no. Over my dead body. This hoodie is now mine, I claim it.
But-
Shut up.
Fine. You-
I don't want to hear it.
Bitch I was going to say steal some more while you're at it.
Ohhhhhh I will. Thanks.
Your welcome.

So after I was finally done arguing with my brain, I got into my older brother's bed. Slipping into the sheets, the smell of his cologne invaded my senses and I immediately felt safe.

I drifted off to dreamland, finally feeling safe and content after a few days.

Now I just have to worry about facing Romeo at school tomorrow.

____________

How do you think Romeo will react?

What about her other brothers?

Do you think Vincent knows what happened?

Oh and update on the microwave disaster, my dad bought a new one that day.

Also, apparently it didn't happen because of me. It was my other brother who took the cookies out because he wanted to heat his pizza up.

The idiot left something inside and that caused it to explode.

My guess is an aluminium foil. Because the pizza was wrapped in it. I don't even know why they used an aluminium foil to wrap the frickin pizza. There were two slices. TWO. They could've just kept the box inside!

I was wondering why the cookies were out and now I have my answer.

There are only three people in the house who can cook without burning it down. It's me, one of my brothers and my dad.

Like literally. Cooking and maybe studying is the only thing I can do without being clumsy or a walking disaster.

CHEMISTRY IS NOT MY SUBJECT. I'm not even going to go into the things I did...*shudders*

SO I'M NOT AT FAULT HERE FOR ONCE AND IM HAPPY.

Anyways, it's late, we're tired so good night.

I'm probably not going to sleep as I'm no where near sleepy but well y'all get the gist.

we hope y'all enjoyed this chapter!

We love y'all!

Angel and Angelo~
