Alessia's POV.

"Cye?" I whisper softly after we've been driving for a while.

Cye takes a quick glance at me before he focuses his attention back to the road.

"Yes Les" he smiles softly at me.

"W-where are we going?" I ask him softly.

"I don't know..where do you want to go?" He asks me.

"I-..can we get ice cream?" I ask him gently

He smiles at me, "of course we can"

"Dominic is going to get mad- he-..he's going to hurt me again" I whisper scared.

"We won't be seeing him for a little while and when we eventually do- I'll protect you" Cye tells me.

"What about school?" I ask him.

"Think of it as a little vacation- where you'll be doing school at home so you don't miss anything for when we eventually get back." He says.

"O-okay" I say as I start to relax- I won't have to see Anna again for a while.

She won't be able to hurt me anymore.

"Here" Ace says while handing me my phone.

"I-I'm not allowed" I tell him.

"Well we say that you are allowed again- punishment is over" Leo tells me.

"You sure?" I ask nervously

"Yes" Ash tells me.

I take my phone out of his hand, "I'm- I'm going to send my friends a text okay" I inform my brothers.

They nod their heads as I open my phone.

Immediately I start texting my friends, apologizing and telling them that I'll be away for a while but that I will still able to text them.

Noah send us a text with an address for the hotel we will be staying in for the foreseeable future half an hour ago.

Which is why I'm just sitting here on the couch watching tv with my brothers right now.

I'm currently cuddled in between Ace and Cye.

Ace is slowly stroking my back up and down while Cye is playing with my hair.

I'm still wearing my clothes from earlier today which is starting to make me a little uncomfortable but I'm just glad I'm away from Dominic.

Suddenly the door opens and Noah walks in, "I grabbed some clothes from your rooms just like some other basic essentials except from your room munchkin. The guards were there and I just couldn't get anything from there so you can borrow some stuff from us and then we'll buy some stuff tomorrow. Good?" He asks softly

"Good" I tell him softly.

Since we aren't in a hotel that Dominic owns, we don't have our basic essentials nor our clothes that are normally in every hotel.

"Alright kids- change out of your uncomfortable clothes while I order dinner" he calls out

We all get up and head to the rooms.

In this hotel the largest room has 3 bedrooms which means we will all be sharing a room with one of us.

I really don't mind- I have been alone for too long so now being able to spend more time with my brothers... it makes me happy.

"Come here munchkin I'll grab you some clothes for now." Nono says- I'll be sharing a room with him.

I nod my head as he leads me to our bedroom and empties his clothes into the small closet while I sit myself on the bed.

"Here is a T-shirt and some shorts" he says giving them to me.

No

If I wear this everyone will see what Anna has been doing to me.

"Nono, can I have something warmer?" I ask softly.

"Sure munchkin- here's a hoodie" he hands me a dark blue one.

Pants...

"Some pants?" I ask unsurely

He makes a little confused face, "okay- here. Are you getting sick? Why're you so cold?" He asks worriedly while taking a seat next to me with the sweatpants on his lap while he places his hand on my forehead.

"You don't feel warm-.." he trails off

"I'm not sick" I tell him

"Okay well, I'm here for you if you need to talk" he says softly, "you get dressed yeah, I'll order dinner." He tells me.

"Thank you Nono- I love you" I tell him.

"I love you more munchkin" he whispers softly while I wrap my arms around him and he kisses my head.

I walk out of the bedroom towards the kitchen where my brothers are seated.

Underneath the hoodie I'm wearing the T-shirt which both reach my knees. The sweatpants I'm wearing are currently almost constantly falling down so I'm just holding them up while I'm walking around with socks on.

I sit down at the table where my brothers are now also seated. The plates and other cutlery have already all been placed at the table.

On my left Ash is seated and on my right Cye is.
Opposite to me Leo is seated and opposite to Ash, Ace is seated. Which leaves Nono opposite to Cye.

"You want some water Les?" Ash asks me softly

"Yes please" I smile softly at him.

When the doorbell goes off so Nono stands up to go get the door.

Suddenly all these people come out and place the food on the table before they walk out again.

"Wow" I call out seeing the large amount of food in front of us.

"Wow indeed- what was the need for so much food?" Leo asks confused.

"Well it's the first night of our some kind of vacation" Nono smiles brightly making me laugh a little.

"Alright well let's eat" Nono smiles at us.

Everyone starts putting food on their plates just like me- I reach out to grab a slice of pizza but the hoodie is too long on my arms which makes is drop in some food.

"I'm sorry" I rush out a little nervous since I made Nono's clothes dirty.

"It's alright munchkin, just take it off so I can wash it off later" he says.

"No that's alright- I'll just keep it on"

"But it's dirty- you'll cover other stuff in mashed potatoes" Acey says confused.

I grap a napkin and get most of it off, "see it's almost gone" I say gently

"Al why won't you take your hoodie off?" Acey asks suspiciously.
