08. Sib Code

I woke up to someone brushing their fingertips through my hair and someone holding my right hand, tightly.

I looked to my right to see Gio curled up beside my arm and his hand clasped tightly around my hand.

I then turned to my left to see Alessandro doing something on his phone as he unconsciously was playing with my hair.

"Ales?" I mumbled out, my voice dry and hoarse.

"Georgia?" he asked, turning his phone off as he looked down at me.

I  wanted to give him a hug, but I couldn't as Gio had restrained me.

Ales must have seen my motive as he untangled Gio from my arm, which then allowed me to climb up onto Ales to give him a hug.

He lovingly accepted it, as he continued to brush his fingertips through my hair, again.

"Georgia? Ales?" Gio asked, worry hidden in his tone.

"here" I mumbled.

I then felt Gio push me over to allow himself to climb up onto Ales' wide frame.

I giggled at this.

At this, Alessandro just let out a deep chuckle at us, pushing eachother for more room.

"Come on you two. The others are probably wondering where we all are" Alessandro said, gently sliding us both off of him so that he could get up.

We then both quickly got up and followed after our eldest brother.

As we made our way down the stairs, I could hear more, loud voices.

I quickly attached my arms and body to Alessandro's arm, as I basically tried to wrap myself around his arm.

"It's ok Georgia, it's just our brothers" Ales explained.

It calmed my nerves down to a degree, but I still didn't unravel myself from my brother.

Once we stepped foot into the kitchen, I was enveloped in a hug by Elijah, which is when I let go of Ales and clung to Elijah.

I wanted their comfort.

I needed their comfort.

"Where is my hug!?" Leo whined from behind Elijah.

I finally let go of Elijah and moved to Leo, the whining teenager.

"Thankyou" he mumbled into my ear so quietly, I was lucky to catch it.

"No, thank you" I whispered back into his ear.

This sparked him to smile, which then made me smile.

"Come on boys, let your sister breathe for a second" Ales said, prying Leo off of me, which earned a whine from Leo.
