The Lost De'Luca

Chapter twelve

Gabriella's pov
"It's non of your business! Stop being so insensitive. I don't want to tell you, end of discussion!" I yelled back. The fuck does he think he is

"You don't talk to me that way Gabriella. You will tell me what Luke did right now" he yelled furiously and I glared at him

"Fuck. You" I spat out coldly causing everyone to stare at me

"What did you say?" He asked, his eyes growing darker

"What you heard" I said through gritted teeth, he's testing my patience, and it ain't gonna end well for him

"Give me your phone and you're not leaving this house for a month apart from school which you will be starting next week" He said sternly and reached his hand out

I rolled my eyes at his stupidity before placing my phone in his hands. He dumb as fuck if he thinks I have just one phone

I scooted away from him and walked towards the balcony. I stood there just staring at the beautiful night sky. The cold wind caressing my skin

I sighed in contentment, I felt my body getting lighter the longer I stood but it felt so good. Felt like I'm in control, the way I used to be...

I was pulled out of my train of thoughts when I felt someone's presence behind me. I slightly turned to see Nicolo coming towards me

"If you're here to tell me to apologize to Antonio then you can leave" I said as calmly as I could

"No that's not why I'm here. I know him trying to force you was wrong so I don't think you should apologize. I'm just here to say, don't let it affect your relationship with him

I can tell you love him and he cares about you alot. That's why he wants to know what whoever's Luke is did to you" he explained and I let out a chuckle

"I don't love anyone. If forcing me to do something I don't want to is his way of showing me he cares then to hell with his love" I said nonchalantly

"You're right. His love and care for you did come out as being pushy and aggressive but he loves you. He is really worried about you, that's why he did that. Calm down" he said and I let out an exasperated sigh

"Whatever" I grumbled and saw him smile

"It's late, you wanna go back to bed?" He asked and I shook my head

"How about we go to the movie room and watch some movies?" He suggested and I just shrugged. I didn't have anything better to do anyway

We walked to the movie room and took our seats. I saw Angelo, Diego and Bruno there as well but I just ignored them

"What movie do you wanna watch?" Nicolo asked and I shrugged

"Don't know. Pick whatever you want"

About half way through the film, I started to dose off and I felt someone place my head on their chest and I snuggled more into the person

"She's so cute!" I heard someone say but I don't know who.

"She looks really adorable" someone said and kissed my head softly

"Sleep well bambina" I heard Nicolo whisper against my head and pulled me closer. I sighed in contentment and slept off

I woke up and found myself on my bed. I stayed in bed for a couple of minutes before heading to the bathroom to take  shower. I put on a black hoodie and ripped jeans and tied my hair in a cute messy bun

I went downstairs and made my way to the dining room. I met Emilio, Angelo, Domenico and Nicolo there already

"Good morning bambina. How'd you sleep?" Emilio asked with a small smile and placed a plate infront of me

"Thanks. I slept okay"  I said softly. I started eating Emilio's masterpiece when the others walked in. Everyone greeted us but Antonio kept a stoic face as he started at me. Well I don't give a flying fuck!

I quickly finished my food and got up when Antonio stopped me

"Get ready, you'll start training today" he said in an icy tone while walking to the living room

"I am ready" I said making him turn back and glare at me. He walked towards me and pulled me up roughly

"Antonio!" Stephano growled in anger

"Shut up!" Antonio growled back. He held my chin tightly forcing me to look at him

"You will listen to me. I don't tolerate disobedience and that's all you've been doing since you got here!" He yelled in my face as his grip tightened making me wince

"What the fuck is wrong with you Antonio?" Domenico snapped, getting up from his seat

"Just be quiet Dom. Go and change into something suitable!" He said harshly and pushed me

I lost my balance and fell down. The sharp end of the table slicing into my hands. Painful memories flooded me as I took in shaky breaths.

Xander angrily approached Antonio and punched him hard across the face. He was about to hit him again when Xavier pulled him back

"Calm down Xan...please" Xavier said barely able to keep Xander in place

"Leave me Xav. Didn't you see the way he pushed out bambina?!. Who the fuck do you think you are to hurt her you stupid bastard!" Xander yelled and broke free from Xavier's hold

He advanced towards Antonio again but was held back by Domenico and Ales

"Calm the fuck down!" Ales snapped and Xander finally stop trashing

I struggled to get up but my hands stung badly when I put them on the floor. Angelo grabbed me by the biceps and pulled me up. I thanked him and he ruffled my hair

"What's wrong with you Tony?. You're hurting out sorella" Ales said softly

Antonio looked at me, then at my hands and then at his hands. I saw guilt in his eyes but it immediately vanished like it wasn't even there

"Like I said, get ready" he said nonchalantly

"Are you fuckin crazy?!. You hurt her hands, how is she gonna train!" Bruno of all people said

"That'll be her punishment. She deserves what she's getting" he said while glaring at me

"Worthlessness bitch. You don't deserve anything good!" I heard Luke's voice in my head and immediately got tears in my eyes which I refused to let fall

"Bastard!" Xander yelled

"You of all people shouldn't treat her like this. Have you lost your mind?" Leonardo asked in disbelief

"All this because I refused to tell you. You both are the same"  I said shakily as my lips quivered. Here I thought maybe just maybe I could get a little peace.

"Bambina-" I didn't hear what Matteo had to say before I ran to my room and locked the door
