I woke up with a jolt. I looked around, trying to find my twin so I could get some reassurance that she's safe and fine.

"Annie?"

Silence.

Where the fuck did she go?
Maybe she's getting some water?

I ran out of the room just to check if she's in the kitchen.

She's not.

"HEY ANNIE! TWINNY WHERE ARE YOU?" I yelled.

Marco came running into the kitchen.

"What's wrong baby bro?" He asked. I didn't even acknowledge the 'baby bro'

"Where's my twin?" I asked him.

"Oh! She's with dad and Mason right now, in dads office!" Just as he said that, my twin walked into the room, with our father and Mason behind her.

I went over to her and looked her over her for any injuries, satisfied when I found none. I breathed a sigh of relief and hugged her close to my chest.

"Where the fuck were you?!" I yelled.

She pulled away and raised an eyebrow at me.

"Language, Ace." She warned.

"I'm sorry...I just got worried..." I sheepishly replied.

She softened and hugged me again.

"Я в порядке, близняшка. В целости и сохранности. Я просто разговаривал с ними в офисе. Сначала они позвонили нам обоим, но я не хотела тебя будить." She said and pulled away.

(I'm fine twinny. Safe and alive. I was just talking to them in the office. They initially called us both but I didn't wanna wake you up.)

When we pulled away, Marco had his jaw to the floor, dad and Mason were shocked but they masked it pretty well.

"Okayyyy. As cute as that was, YOU SPEAK RUSSIAN?" He screeched. I don't think I need to say who it was.

"Ah sí. We do." I politely replied.

I was polite for three reasons. One, if I was rude, my twin would kick my ass to the moon. Two, we promised Vince we would at least try. And three, he's been very nice to us so far so I don't really see a reason to be rude.

That's a first.
The fuck do you mean by that?
Well I mean you're always rude to everyone no matter how nice they are.
That's...not true.
It is. You want to get along with them. Just admit it.
No!
Yes.
No you shit of an inner voice!

...
I'm giving you the you-can't-lie-for-shit-so-you-blame-others look right now.
Whatever.

I see Marco looking at me with tears in his eyes. What the fuck did I do now?

"What? Why are you crying?" I asked, genuinely confused and dare I say, concerned.

"Y-You talked to m-me w-without being m-mean!" He said and crushed me in a death hug, with my twin giggling behind me.

I was in shock and disbelief.

What the fuck?

"Holy crap let me go,you oaf!" I yelled and my twin just laughed louder, now rolling on the floor while dad and Mason watched us in amusement and adoration.

Wait a damn minute. Did I just...call him dad?
Yeah you kinda did.
Uhh why?
Hell if I know why are you asking me?!
You're a good for nothing inner voice.
The hell did you just say?

Ain't it the truth though? You just like making weird remarks anytime but when I actually need help, you just prove how dumb you are.

....

Yeah that's what I thought.

I banged on his chest a bit more and he finally let me go.

"You're crazy! Were you trying to kill me?!" I yelled.

"No...I was just giving you a hug!" He pouted.

"Ew. Don't make that face again you look like you've got piles!" I shuddered in disgust.

I did not realise the whole family was in the kitchen by now and they bust out laughing.

"BAHAHAHAHAHA! Dude you just got told by a 14 year old!" Roman laughed more while Marco just pouted more.

I swear I saw dad and Mason's lips twitch upwards. And well my twin was still on the floor.

I went over to her and threw her over my shoulder. "You really like laughing at my misery huh?" I teased.

"Yes!" She yelled and laughed a bit more. I raised an eyebrow and walked to the living room, with her still on my shoulder.

I threw her on the fluffy couch and tickled her. "Hahahahaha...s-stop! Hahaha..."

"Nah say I'm the best and the most handsome brother in the world and you love me!"

"Are..haha you...hahaha crazy...? I'm...hahah..not going to say that! Hahaha..." she replied between her giggles.

I tickled her more. "Say it!"

"FINE! You are the best and the most handsome brother in the world and I loveeeeee you!" She squealed and threw herself on me.

I laughed and hugged her back.

"THAT WAS SOOO CUTE!" Marco squealed, AGAIN, and snapped another photo.

I cringed.

"Dude. Do you have to...squeal like that?" I grimaced.

He turned red and waved me off. He walked over to us, plopping down on the couch next to my twin. He pulled her to sit on his right leg and then pulled me down to sit on his left leg.

I immediately scrambled up. "WHAT THE HELL MARCO?" I yelled,absolutely mortified.

"What? I'm just making both of my babies sit in my lap!" He defended.

He's....psychotic. Absolutely crazy. So this is where my twin gets her crackhead energy from.

Soon, everyone calmed down and sat on the couches.

"So.." my twin spoke up.

"What are the rules?" She asked.

They looked surprised but dad eyed Mason to speak anyways.

"Well.. about that. There aren't really much rules other than the basic ones.No cussing, no alcohol, no drugs. Oh and just inform us whenever you're going out. And we understand respect is both ways so you respect us and we respect you. That's about it." Mason shrugged.

"You forgot something. NO BOYFRIENDS, OR GIRLFRIENDS. For both of you." That was Noah. Hm..the guy doesn't really speak much.

Annie hummed.

"Sounds fair enough." She said.

"Was denken du, Ace?" She asked, in German this time. (A/n thank you @LaraVentura6 !!)

(What do you think,Ace?)

"Sie klingen fair, aber wir müssen auch einige unserer Regeln aufstellen." I replied.

(they do sound fair, but we need to put some of our rules forward too.)

She nodded.

"Well care to share what you just said?" Romeo asked, looking annoyed.

"Nah." I replied, enjoying the riled up look he was sporting.

Oh how I hate him .

"Okay. Your rules sound pretty reasonable, but. We've got some conditions of our own." I spoke up.

They looked amused but motioned me to go on. And that just made me angry. I felt and hand squeezing mine. I looked down to see my twin holding my hand to calm me down.

I cleared my throat. "Okay so First, we would prefer if y'all don't go around doing background checks on us. Second, We don't want you digging up our hospital records. The third but the most important, DO NOT TRY DIGGING INTO OUR PAST. I'm warning you now. What you find won't be good. So we don't want you invading our privacy. You do this, and in return, we follow your rules." I finished.

"Please don't take this lightly. We don't do well with people snooping around our past. We will tell you when we're ready. I know those looks and really, if you try any of these, trust me, we WILL know. Those files containing our information, hospital records and past are highly confidential and securely protected. We will be informed if there's even a trace of any breach. Only Ace and I can gain access to those files and no one else." Annie added.

"We really hope y'all respect that." I raised an eyebrow.

"But...why are you trying so hard to keep your past, information and background...a secret?" Dad asked.

"Look, I will be very honest with you. We've gone through some...tough times in the few years before Audrey met papa. It's not very easy to talk about. That's all you need to know for now." I saw our father flinch when Annie called Steve 'papa'.

Well...not really our fault dude.

"Alright then. We promise not to snoop into anything. But you have to promise you will tell us about it soon." Mason negotiated.

"You have our word." Annie answered and I nodded in agreement.

"Can we go sleep now? We have to go school shopping tomorrow and I won't be able to function if we're all half asleep!" Aaron sleepily asked.

Oh right. We're starting school two weeks later.

"Oh yes. I forgot to tell you guys, your cousins will be at school with you."

Wait cousins?

I hope it's not that bitch.

What was her name again? Melanie? Stephanie? Yes! Brittney!

She was adopted by one of our uncles and she's the only one we've met before. When I tell you she's a huge rude ass bitch....

She was a hoe even at the age of 8. I'm not even kidding. She's 4 years older than us.

"What? How many do we even have? I hope Brittney isn't one of them." I groan.

"Are you okay baby? You seem tense." I heard Marco ask.

Oh fuckety fuck fuck. I forgot. Brittney and Angelina never got along. I still think-no I KNOW-Brittney used to bully my twin when we were little but she denies it everytime I ask her.

"What? Oh yeah I'm fine." She shrugged it off.

"Me too bro me too. She's so screechy and she's always throwing herself at us! Also, we have 19 in total, 18 boys and....Brittney" Aaron agreed and spit her name out like it was poison.

Glad to know we're on the same page.

I think we'll get along just fine.

"She's not that bad." You can guess who that was.

Romeo.

"Of course you would think that. Whoever hates my sister is never bad for you because you hate her too."I scoff.

"I don't hate her..." he frowned.

"You sure act like you do. What did she even do to you?" I snap.

"No I don't. And she didn't do nothing to me." He retorted.

"You damn liar!" I snarled.

"I'm not lying!" He snarled back.

"You are! You even defended Brittney when-" I was cut off.

"ACE I THINK THAT'S ENOUGH." Angie yelled as I stood there stunned. She's never raised her voice at me like that.

She stood up and stormed off.

I huffed and faced Romeo again. "See what you did? I hope you're happy. This is the first time she's raised her voice at me." I hissed and ran after her.

Stupid ass fucker thinks he's so great.

t h i r d  p e r s o n

The Rossi brothers were very confused. Things took a dark turn after the mention of Brittney's name. Angelina seemed ticked off, Ace seemed annoyed and pissed off and Romeo was...confused.

What was he going to even say before Angie stopped him?  He thought

"What was that about?" Giovanni Rossi, their father, voiced his question, feeling very concerned and upset because of his children fighting. Sure, he didn't mind the playful banter and play fights.

But this seemed very serious. Like life or death serious. There's something they were hiding about Brittney and it was bad. Really bad.

"I don't know!" Romeo yelled and stormed off, the sound of a door slamming shut echoing in the silent mansion.

The others shared concerned looks and retired to their own rooms.

Meanwhile, Angelina was laying on a comfy hammock placed in the garden, gazing at the moon and just thinking.

Brittney was a...... very controlling person to say the least. She never liked the amount of attention that Angelina got, being the youngest and most importantly, the real princess of the Rossi family.

She was never neglected when Angelina arrived. No. The family was better than that. She was loved and cherished equally. But Brittney was still jealous. She wanted all the attention for herself.

She'd developed a hate towards the little twins which was mutually shared by Audrey, Giovanni Rossi's wife. Brittney was infatuated by the beautiful woman. A woman who was the epitome of beauty from the outside and a hideous monster from the inside.

Safe to say Brittney never liked when people spent money or their attention on somebody who wasn't her. She would harass Angelina whenever she came over.

She threw her off the second floor once. Angelina was 2. Brittney was 6.

When she woke up from a month long coma, her answer was, "Angwie swipped."  Ace, who had seen Brittney pushing Angelina off the balcony, immediately spoke up.

He was shot down by Romeo saying how he was lying because he didn't like Brittney. That was when it was strike one for Romeo. Ace didn't like that he was defending some....outsider over his own sister.

Poor Angelina was crushed. The next strike was when Romeo purposely gave Angelina's beautiful painting to Brittney claiming it was hers when she didn't have even one artistic bone in her when they were 3. Ace was, once again, ticked off.

Saying the next thing pissed Ace off would be an understatement. No. He was downright livid.

Brittney had tried to stab Angelina, in the chest right in front of Romeo when they were 4. What Romeo didn't know was, the knife wasn't fucking plastic. It was real. If Ace hadn't reached there in time, Angelina would've been dead. Fucking dead.

That was why Ace hated Romeo so much. Angelina knew that. But somewhere in her heart, she couldn't bring herself to hate her brother. It wasn't his fault after all. She was the one who was weak. Who couldn't fight back. Who needed someone to depend on.

God knows who had taught an eight year old words like 'bitch','slut', 'whore'. Because that's what she used to call Angelina.

"Oh you're such a whiny attention seeking bitch."

I'm not! She agonisingly thought.

"You're such a fat and ugly slut! You took my family away from me! Worthless bitch!"

I didn't! She bitterly screamed in her mind

"You're such a whore. I wouldn't be very surprised if you loose your virginity when you're 10!" She laughed.

I'm not! She yelled at the voices in her mind, a tear finally making its way out of her eyes.

Her words used to affect her, at first. But as she grew up, she knew her words were nothing but bullshit. She wasn't fat. She wasn't ugly. She wasn't a slut, a bitch or a whore.

She IS beautiful. She's pure. She's innocent. She's strong. She's worth everything in this world.

And this time, she wasn't going to let Brittney push her around

Guys. When I tell you angel legit cried while writing the Brittney part, IM STATING FACTS.

She was sobbing like a fucking baby. Poor thing.

So I told her I would just type the authors note up and she can read another book or whatever.

So right now, she's reading on her phone with a big tub of chocolate ice cream on her lap, practically drowning in a hoodie which I'm pretty sure is mine.

SHE TAKES ALL MY CLOTHES AWAY!

She won't give me ice cream either. The brat doesn't know how to share.

Anyways I'll stop ranting now.

Did you guys like this chapter or was it too emotional for you?

What do you think about Brittney?

AND GUYS, I KNOW ANGEL THANKED YOU IN THE BEGINNING BUT IM THANKING YA'LL AGAIN FOR 1K!

Enjoy!

Love,

Angelo and Angel~
