The rest of the school day went by in a blur. I ended up having P.E. with all of my brothers' friends, including my three brothers.

Devin kept trying to talk to me but I just brushed it off and focused my attention on Jay and Ash. They quickly got the hint and kept me away from him.

After that, we had another free period so we just went to the library and did our school work.

We are now in the parking lot waiting for the others to come out of school. "Guys I forgot to mention something earlier." I tell them, leaning up against my car

They give me a look to continue. "Did you notice the accents of my brothers' friends? I have first period with Andrei and he spoke to me in Russian. Javier's last name is DeLuca. Sound familiar? Then Matthew had a British accent and Nicolas had a french accent. Devin as we all know speaks Greek and his family is Greek." I say thinking out loud

Jay has a look of realization across his face and his jaw drops. Seconds later Ash does the same. "No fucking way" the say at the same time

How do they do that?

"I need to look more into it when I get back to the house, but I think those are the heirs of their mafias. Thankfully we haven't run into them before, but we need to be extra careful until we have more information on them. I don't know what they are capable of." I tell them with my hands on my hips

"Fuck Laura you're so smart" Ashton says kissing my forehead

"Someone has to keep us in check" I say playfully

"You're probably right baby. I mean I'm not sure why they are all in America, but then again we are too." Jay says thinking out loud

"I know when Devin left he said he had to go back to Greece with his family. I'm going to check to see if the Greek Mafia had any problems 7 years ago. It would make sense why he left." I tell them

They nod in agreement but give me a sad look when I whisper "But why didn't he come back for me?"

Jay pulls me into a hug sighing. I wrap my arms around his waist and bury my head in his chest. "I don't know baby" He says cradling my head

I let out a heavy sigh and hold back my tears.

You haven't cried in so long. You're not about to start now.

"Hey twinny!" Luca says standing behind Jay

We separate from the hug and my friends take protective positions next to me. "Hey Luca" I say emotionlessly

"Damn who's car is that?" I hear a familiar voice from about 20 feet away

"Oh that?" Xavier says smirking walking up to us

"Wait why are you leaning on it?" Matthew asks continuing his ogling

"Because it's mine" I say smirking with a mischievous glint in my eye
