Bronx's POV
After handing Chase over to Ben, he started acting like an angel. Suck up. I looked down at my plate, the lasagna was in tiny pieces, making it look like I've eaten more than I actually have.
"Um, P-Parker?" I ask quietly.
"What's up Bambina?" He asks, looking over at me.
"I-I'm full." I whisper, looking at my lap.
"Can you eat a little bit more for me please fiore? You've hardly eaten any." He says, pointing at my plate with his fork.
"O-okay." I whisper, putting little bits on my fork and eating it slowly.
"Bambina, if you eat a bit more, I'll take you and Chase out for ice cream." Alexandro bribes.
Upon hearing his name and ice cream, Chase shoots his head up and looks over at me.
"I want ice cweam! Pwease Momma!" Chase says, putting on the puppy dog eyes.
"Fine." I grumble, going back to my plate.
At that moment I realized what Chase had just said. He called me Momma, with Ben right there. I looked over at Ben, he looked at me with wide eyes. I knew he picked up on what Chase had said. I felt tears building up in my eyes as I looked down at my lap. At that moment, I didn't care about what my brothers would say, I needed to leave. I ran up to my room and locked the door. Sliding down it, I started to hyperventilate. I have this odd feeling, like I disappointed Ben. That his view and opinion about me matters. A few minutes later, I hear a light knock at my door.
"Bronx?" I hear Luca ask through the door.
"W-what?" I ask, my voice shaky.
"Can we come in? It's Parker, Alessandro, Ben and I." He says.
"Fine." I say, tears building up in my eyes.
"What happened down there baby?" Luca asked, rubbing my back soothingly.
"C-Chase... I... Um, I uh." I stutter.
"Is it because of what Chase said?" Parker asked, coming up beside me.
"Y-yeah." I whisper.
"He won't judge you or tell anyone else. And if he does, your brothers and I will hurt him for you. Maybe even kill him. Deal?" Luca asks, sticking his pinky out to me.
"Deal." I say, locking my pinky with his own in a pinky promise.
I look up at Luca and give him a big hug. For a while, I completely forgot Ben was standing in the same room as us. I pull away from Luca and turn myself on my bed to face Ben. He looks at me with sad and gentle eyes, a slight smile plays on his lips.
"I promise I won't tell a soul what I hear tonight. I would never want to hurt you. Partly because I really don't want to die." He jokes, chuckling a bit at his own joke.
"You've been taught well young padawan." Parker says in an odd voice.
"What's a padawan?" I ask quietly.
That's when all hell broke loose.
