Their safe haven

Chapter fourteen🫶🏼

Evelyn's pov

"Oh hell no!" "No, boys suck." "Sorry kiddo but I'm going with no." "No." "I don't care, I'm happy you found a friend." I smiled at Romeo and felt the glares from all of my other brothers.

Luca was still in his office and I was thankful for that. Romeo walked over to me and kissed the top of my head before walking out of the front door, leaving me with the crazy ones.

I looked over at Sergio who was glaring at me. I gave him my best doe eyes, trying to just convince him but he shook his head.

Salvatore had the paper on the kitchen counter and I looked at Marco to see his mom's face on. "Marco please, I just want one friend." He shook his head and I felt anger rise in me.

"Fine!" I threw my hands up and walked past them toward the fridge. I grabbed a water bottle and turned to see them all looking at me.

I shook my head and walked over to the counter. "Look, guys, I think it's not fair but I can't judge you guys for it. I'm sorry." They all nodded their heads and I quickly grabbed the paper.

"Put it back Evelyn." I looked up to see Salvatore putting his hand out. I felt adrenaline rush through me and I glanced at the door. Clear shot.

I shook my head and quickly ran for the door, I dodged their hands and ran up the stairs to my room. I glanced back to see all of them chasing after me.

I chuckled while running towards my door. "SORRY!" I quickly ran into my safe room and slammed the door shut behind me, I quickly locked it and backed away from it.

I took out the note and read it in my head.

111-345-299. Text me whenever.

I smiled and grabbed my phone. I put his contact information in my phone and hid it under my bed as I heard yelling outside of my door.

"I swear to fuck! Open the door."

"Evelyn, don't make me come in there."

"Chicken, open the door and give us the note."

"Come on kid...don't make us get Luca."

"Evelyn, open this door and just give us the damn note...please."

I shook my head even though they couldn't see me. I wanted a friend and if someone gave ME their number I wasn't just going to let them throw it away.

My door started to wiggle and I heard the voice I have been dreading to hear...Luca.

"Evelyn Leone, you will open this door right now. Don't make me break it down." I got off my bed and slowly walked over to the safety barrier that I was about to break.

I unlocked the door and slowly opened it, keeping my head down as I heard sighs and mumbled of complaints.

I saw a large hand come near my face and I flinched backward on instinct. The hand came back, slowly this time, and grabbed my chin in a gentle but firm grip.

My head got tilted up and I gulped at the sight of a very angry Luca. "What happened today, and why did I hear about some boy?" I shook my head and felt my chest tighten.
