The Eternal Love

t w e l v e✔

Today's morning was same as others, I woke up took a shower and wore simple clothes which were white shirt with black denim and a leather jacket which I bought from Versace 

Going downstairs I was met with all the boys sitting on the couch 

"Morning" I mumbled grabbing a box of lucky charms and pouring it into a white bowl with some milk in it

I was greeted with a couple of chorus of good mornings and hellos, I seated myself on the couch in the middle of Caspian and Santiago who were eating sandwiches and opposite to The twins and Asher who were discussing about I believe football

Do these guys know about anything except football

Finishing up my lucky charms I went up to Ace who was sitting confidently on the couch talking to Dominic

"Hey guys" I greeted "I wanted to ask something"

"Good morning Miele" Dominic replied while Ace just greeted me with a short nod and a smile

"Can I?" I asked trying to be as polite as I could be 

"Go ahead, What is it" Ace asked intrigued 

"I don't know how to say this but" I let out a low chuckle " well Ace I wanted to ask if I could you know go to a friend's place today she was my really close friend when were small but she got adopted and came here to NYC so if you don't mind" I asked his with a sheepish smile

"Camellia-" Dominic started but I cut him off short

"I know Dominic it's not safe but please it's been a long time since I met her she's my best friend I have missed her a lot it's been like what, 5 years since she was gone I was so small I could only remember her golden locks and bl-" My ranting was cut of by Ace

"Farfalla You can go" He said looking straight into my eyes, piecing my soul as he was trying to read my emotions

"Oh- Really" I fake squealed 

"Yes" He said and I hugged him tight, he was taken aback for a moment and so was I because of my impulsive behavior but then he melted into it and a hug after a long time felt spiteful.

"But Ace you know-" Dominic started but Ace gave him a pointed look and he stopped and in return as I showed my tongue to which he pouted and our show earned a deep chuckle from everyone in the room

"Thankyou Ace" I said gratefully skipping my way up to the stairs

Finally as I was out of their sight I let out a deep breathe and called Theodore, after 3 rings he picked it up

"All sorted?" He asked

"All sorted" I confirmed

"I am pretty concerned they didn't even stopped you from coming to your so called friend's house like they have gotten you after a long time" He said conflicted

"Ted you know how good my drama and acting skills are, it took me no more than 5 minutes to impress Ace, I just had to let out some squeals and a pout I even hugged him but that was an impulsive way to say thankyou but it felt nice, the warmth I felt was the protective ones, the ones I usually feel with you. The brotherly hugs, I kind of feel a bit guilty about lying to them but we have got no choice now do we" I said putting all my emotions in one breath

"Calm down your horses Lia" He chuckled from the other side

"Come on Theo it's nothing  and we can't just tell them I am related to the underground shit they can't know it yet and also Ace can't fool Mortem herself with a stupid tracker in my necklace when I was asleep" I said remembering the night he tip toed to my room and put a tracker on my necklace

"They put a tracker on you !!" he yelled nearly making me deaf

"Yes and that too it was a 9m50, The best tracker with a GPS system which is specially imported from Spain" I said "I am doubting their "Business" now like not everyone can afford a 9m50 right" I asked

"Lia are you serious? they are what- like multi billionaires it's noting for them" He said as I could sense him rolling his eyes

"Yeah maybe your right" 

"Okay so what about the tracker" He asked concerned

"Well I believe my friend you are forgetting that I am also an a grade hacker, I could easily change it's location in a snap of fingers" I boated about my qualities "Perks of spending an eternity working with the Russian mafia"

"Yeah no need to boast now" He said and I chuckled

"So I'll text you the venue for fight but before that you have to come to A-5 Carson Street near Park Avenue" He said and I noted down the address in my mind "I have a warehouse there and we'll go to the venue together in our style" He said and even though I couldn't see his face I knew he was smirking hard

"See you today at 5, love you" He regarded

"Love you too, Theo " I said and hanged up the call

These guys or my brothers, literally thought I would have friends, I did went to middle school, which was not a good experience because I hadn't interacted with many people my age, and I didn't really have friends. I had a million acquaintances but no friends.

And to be honest, if an alien race just lands on the planet Earth tomorrow and asks me to prove I'm really here, what do I do? What do I give them? What do I tell them? What do I show them? I can't sing or dance. I can't paint. I've never built anything, and I've never contributed anything significant to the human race.

I've led a very isolated existence since I was 6 years old. It's kind of been me and my mind. The only person who was friends with me was James, but now he was gone. Gone for good.

How we met was a strange story indeed , it all started with a shoe, so back in the foster system when I was I think 5 or 6 year old and we were going to a park nearby for some sight seeing, I was sitting alone because I had no friends and then this guy my age came up to me and said mean things and then I see a shoe coming into his direction and hit him straight in the face I turned around to see James with his all time silly smirk and we even got punishment for it

We were besties since then, since then to 2 years back, when I was 13 he got adopted to some posh people and he even promised to write letters but I haven't received one yet and I have stopped to believe that he'll ever comeback.

There is no point of having any friends when they won't be there for you when you're down.
Trust me, I am speaking from the experience.
