Chapter 21

MIRABELLE'S POV

I feel myself being carried and put in someone's lap but I'm too tired to open my eyes and care, so I just lied there. I heard doors closing and an engine start.

Soon the car was moving and I was going in and out of consciousness. Someone was caressing my hair and massaging my scalp. It was honestly soothing the headache.

Soon we reached somewhere and I felt myself being lifted. I was awake at this point but was too tired to move. I opened my eyes and saw that it was Leonardo holding me.

He must've sensed me looking at him because he looked down and smiled sadly at me.

"Hey sweetheart, you okay?" He asked in a low voice laced with love.

I nodded my head and soon he got out of the car. I wrapped my legs around his waist and wrapped my arms around his neck to support myself.

I looked around the unfamiliar place and whispered "Where are we?" I laid my head on the crook of neck because I felt my head become heavy.

"Just one of our medicals Stella(star). Al needs to take a look at your injuries okay?" He answered as his face hardened when he mentioned injuries.

I nodded my head and heaved out a sigh. We entered and people shifted their curious gazes at us. The rest of my brothers and dad that I just noticed were there they ignored the nosy looks and continued walking.

All of them had blank faces on. All of them looked emotionless, even Ezekiel. I furrowed my eyebrows and looked at them strangely.

I didn't have much time to linger on the thought because Elijah opened a door which led to white hospital room.

Leonardo put me on the bed and moved aside for Alfonso. "Okay bambina I'm gonna take a look at your injuries okay?" He asked which really sounded like he was telling me instead of asking.

I nodded my head weakly and thankfully they didn't comment on the verbal answer rule, cause  honestly I couldn't give a fuck right now.

He gestured me to lay down and I did. He moved slowly and held up his hands and looked wary of how I would act.

He rolled up the stomach part and sucked in a deep breath once he again saw my multi-colored ribs.

He put pressure and I sucked in a breath when I felt the stabbing pain. The word on my stomach was covered from the dark bruises so he tahnkfully didn't see it. He would be disgusted.

TIME SKIP

I'm now lying on the hospital bed looking blankly at the ceiling while waiting for Alfonso to finish wrapping up my burns. Some of my brothers left to god knows where and some stayed behind with me.

He did a full body examination so that how we're here right now. He did an x-ray and thankfully my knee wasn't broken, just badly bruised.

Dad was sitting in the corner in the room watching everything unfold silently. He hasn't uttered a word since we left.

He had a blank look and his eyes held nothing.

I now had a rib brace, a cast on my shoulder and knee. White bandages on my back and burns. I made sure to lie in an angle so that the carved words on my back don't show. My makeup up has completely worn off making all the bruises on my face and neck visible. Yeah so I basically look like shit.

Once Alfonso was done he went to a drawer and started rummaging through it. Vincent came by my side and helped lean up and lean my sore back on his hard chest.

Once Alfonso found what he was looking for he came back with a pill bottle and a glass of water. Along of a tube of medical cream.

He took two pills out and held them out for me. My arms were too weak to hold the glass so he tilted it so I can drink and wash the pills down.

A few drops of water slipped down my chin and  he immediately got a tissue and wiped my mouth while smiling lovingly at me.

"Thank you." I whispered giving him a small smile of gratitude.

I'm really grateful for him helping me. Grateful to all of them for helping me. They really do care and the feeling of being loved is making me to emotional.

He applied cream on my face and neck, along with my arms and legs.

I felt Vincent massaging my scalp and I immediately leaned into his touch. He chuckled and whispered "Feel good?"

"Hmm you're soothing my killer headache." I answered feeling my stiff muscles relax slightly.

He laughed softly and continued massaging my head.

A few minutes later once I was starting to doze off I heard the door creaking open. I opened my eyes slightly and saw my missing brothers come into the room looking mad and angry.

I shrugged to myself and leaned more into Vincent's warm body. He wrapped his arms around me and held me closely, like he was afraid I would disappear.

Then I heard footsteps come near the bed and I peeled my eyes open just a little to see who it is.

I saw dad looking at me with guilt and sadness. He reached his hand out and held mine while giving it a squeeze.

"I'm so sorry principessa." He muttered after a moment of silence.

I looked at him with furrowed brows. Why is he apologizing? It isn't his fault he couldn't prevent it.

"It's not your fault dad." I whispered giving him a smile hoping he would brighten up.

He gave one back but shook his head.

"No it is. I should've looked for her and saved you from those monsters. I swear if I knew that she was pregnant I would've done everything in my power to protect you." He said seriously looking at me in the eyes.

"It wasn't your fault you couldn't have prevented it. Don't blame yourself I'm here with you now." I said looking at him seriously so he could stop blaming himself.

I didn't want him to blame himself. I believe him. He has shown me kindness like no one else. I'm grateful for him and he should know that. I will prove it to him.

"Alright everything looks good. You're gonna need a lot of rest so that means no moving a lot. If you need anything you yell one of our names." Alfonso said talking in the most serious tone and face I've ever seen and heard.

"Okay" I said after looking at all of their serious faces.

"Okay we're all wrapped up here, we can go home now." He said after checking everything.

Vincent carried me this time and settled me on his lap sideways. Elias and Elijah settled in the car with us and Leonardo was the one driving. The others in the cars behind us.

Soon enough we reached home and Vincent put me on my bed. After all my brothers and dad wished me goodnight I settled in the warm covers and felt myself doze off with a small smile on my face.

Finally feeling a sense of happiness seep through my veins.
