Their safe haven

Chapter nineteen🫶🏼

"Marco let me go please!" I yelled as Marco wrapped me in a huge blanket. It's been a full week since the incident and everything has been going really well...some things are going well.

Zion has been distant and whenever I try to talk to him he puts up a finger and walks away with his phone to his ear. He never introduced me to his friends so I sit with my brothers and Lilith at lunch which is super awkward and slightly annoying because they always try to listen to our conversation.

I meet all of my teachers and all of them are kind and sweet so far. We got a new principal and her name is Ms.Romi, she is gorgeous and super sweet. She was around Lucas's age so I tried to slyly slip her name into conversations during dinner.

Luca and Angelo are usually locked in their offices and it's usually only me, Marco, and Sergio home. I enjoy their company but I kinda wish I had all of my brothers. I don't know the others very well and that hurts to know that I've lived here for almost a month and I don't even know what Lucas's favorite food is or how Salvatore learned how to play his guitar.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by Marco dragging me somewhere. I started to fling my arms around and Marco had the nerve to laugh at me. "HELP! Marcos trying to kill me!" I let out a loud laugh when I saw Marcos's face drop in horror.

Romeo come downstairs with just sweats on and I could tell he was sleeping by the way his hair stuck out in all different directions. "What the hell man?" One of the good things that has happened is that Romeo is talking a bit more, his voice was still soft but he talks out a bit more now.

I finally fought myself out of Marcos's grip and ran behind Romeo's back, using him as a shield from Marco. Romeo reached behind him and grabbed my head and pushed me out of my protective spot.

I grabbed onto his hand and looked up at him with wide eyes. "He is going to kill me, Romeo! Help me, bro!" Romeo's eyes widened at me using the word bro.

I heard a chuckle and I looked up just in time to see Marco raising his hands and walking away. I looked back to see Romeo glaring at me. "What did you call me?" I swallowed the thick lump in my throat and shrugged my shoulders.

I started to walk backward as Romeo took slow and almost bone-chilling steps toward me. He leaned down and I gave him a sheepish smile. He looked at me as I watched him mouth one word.

'Run.'

That's all he had to say for me to start running and hopping over things that were in my way. There was no way I was getting tackled by Romeo of all people! Alessandro says he is the smallest one but he was pure muscle and I was all bones still.

I ran for the stairs and almost made it to my room when I slipped and fell on my ankle. "Oh, you fucker! You cock sucking son of a bitch!" I yelled at my stupid foot which made me fall and land in a weird position that made pain shoot through my ankle.

I heard a door slam from above me and I tried to crawl to my room but it was no use, the pain was way too bad. Romeo ran over to me with a worried look on his face.

He started to frantically try to pull me up while whispering to me. "Please don't tell Luca or Alessandro. Please, I'm so sorry Ev!" I let out a whimper and Romeo covered my mouth while trying to drag me to his room.
