Reality of being a romano

Chapter 16

Elizabeth's p.o.v
Today is going to be a good day! Yes maybe your brothers have secrets from you and yes they have secret guns! But if you believe it's a good day it will be I said these words staring at myself in the mirror...

Just like the day Wednesday I was the Wednesday of the family no I wasn't the middle child but I was the one no one was excited about the day no one wants yes they put on a fake act but slowly I can see them starting to break

I didn't talk much at breakfast not wanting anyone to bring up the gun incident or why Alessandro wasn't preset...not as if I cared (well I did a little but wouldn't admit to myself)

"Oi liz I'm talking to you!" I felt a sharp pain in my side as I saw all eyes were on me

I sighed "sorry Marco didn't get a great sleep, what's the question?"

"Do...you..have...track...today" I rolled my eyes at Marco mansplaining to me I said I was tired not dumb

"Yeah I do have track after school but i can't be arsed goin—" fuck! Yes I said arsed maybe not in your eyes but in my brothers thats a swear word "I'm sorry don't take my phone please" I begged

Dante stood up from the table rolling his eyes in my direction "don't let it happen again and we won't have a problem! That's a warning sorella" god I hate them!

We all stood up from the table before going to the garage and driving to the gates of hell (school) I really hoped Jake was in today he hasn't been in since the boys football practise last week...I was getting worried. I got out the car as fast as I could disappearing into school ignoring my brothers calls

There he was. Jake. My Jake. Surrounded by his friends. He was different he had a black eye and walked with a limp...what did they do to him. No Marco promised he wouldn't of said anything do I trust him?

I slowly made my way over to Jake "hey Jake,how are you?"

"Go away Elizabeth" he growled "I'm sure you know I'm not ok thanks to your no good fucking brothers" what Marco lied...he lied to me.

My eyes filled with water "I'm so sorry I didn't know"

He looked at me "I will forever love you but I have to think about myself and being with you is just to dangerous look what just the younger two did i can't imagine wha-"

Then I felt a hand grab my arm...Marco "Elizabeth cmon your gonna be late!" He said staring at Jake with no expression

When we got far enough away I stopped making Marco fave me "what the fuck did you do!?" I didn't care about his stupid rules right now

He folded his arms "Oi you should be thankful I didn't tell Dante or worse Luca and Alessandro...he deserved it hes lucky!"

Lucky? "Lucky! Marco you can't just beat up any guys that looks at me the wrong way and for your information Jake had consent I wanted him to fuckin kiss me!"I was about to kill this man

"No one in this world is allowed to kiss my sister it's in your rules!" Kiss Jesus I'm not five Iv Done a lot worse little does he know

"It's my fucking life not your you don't get to choose how I live it"

Marco sighed "what done is done at least Andreas stopped me before I did any permanent damage" permanent damage? He wanted to do more to Jake I didn't like this side of Marco it scared me...

I walked off ignoring Marco yelling me !I couldn't be doing with school today I wanted to go home I wanted my my grandma...I started walking in the direction I thought was home. I was thinking about how much I wanted to go home how much I wanted to see my grandma...

I came across a park and decided to sit on a bench and watch the birds fight over scraps of food I watched how the water would change directions depending on the wind. I fell asleep on the bench listening to the branches and tress whistle In the wind I felt peaceful and calm my mind was empty but it felt nice this time

I opened my eyes to my phone vibrating I had hundred of notifications from my brothers with a bunch of mixed messages and miss calls from the group chat

*Family group chat*

Alessandro- Elizabeth please message one of us we're worried

Dante- get back here you little bitch...please

Marco-I'm so sorry liz just answer the phone

Luca-sweetie were worried

Andreas-sorella please we need you

This were just a few of the messages I received I didn't want to go home I would just be in trouble but I couldn't exactly stay here either it was cold and getting dark I decided to turn my phone of and just start walking again at least I would have some time before I reached home

I felt relived...they actually got worried and cared of course they had said that but it was nice to see they actually cared without it just to make me feel better...I thought about not going home but that wasn't an option. They would find me eventually and I would be in less trouble if I took myself home before they found me

I placed one foot after another cars passing by not noticing the sad little girl on the side of the road that's what I was...no longer calm and full of relief sad that she wouldn't get a choice of her future or what she ate or spoke like. I was a pawn in there big game of chess

I heard a motorcycle slowing down behind me so I naturally looked behind me seeing a man running towards me... I didn't know what to do I wanted to scream but my voice hurt so I just ran...ran as fast as I could but eventually the man or figure caught up to me it was to late...

"Boss iv got her" my eyes were heavy and these were the last words I heard who was this man was he a friend or an enemy a hero or a villain... I hoped he was someone I could trust

I wish I answered my phone I wish I could call my brothers i wish...for a lot of things but I have lost the option

Ahhhh cliff hanger! Can we trust this man? Who is it? Is he a enemy or an ally?
