Alice

CHAPTER 11

I stare at him.

 'yes I have been wanting to ask about school I was preparing myself to ask' I wanted to say

"I.. you know Issac and the twins go to school.. so I... want to ask... when can I start school?" 

"Yes about this, we have been thinking about it we couldn't agree on the same thing" Ace says

"about what?" I ask

"To send you to school or homeschooling you"

"I think we should send her to school so that she can gain the confidence to deal with people" Elijah says

"No I think we should homeschool us" Alex says

I look at him is he serious?

"What do you think bambina?" Ace asks

"I want to go to school, I have missed so many years of school I want to experience it."

"Okay" he says. No one argues, I give Alex a smile

"Can I ask you one more thing?" I ask 

"I wanted to ask what do you do. I don't want to pry or anything you don't have to say but looking at the house and all the men I am just curious. Its ok-"

"Calm down bambina" Nate says

"yes right sorry" I say

"We have some successful businesses" Ace says

"ok" I say

We start eating. Can I ask about our parents ?

I will give it a try 

"Can I ask you one last thing" I ask

"You can ask anything you don't have to repeat 'Can I ask you one thing' 'Can I ask you one thing' every time you want to ask anything" Arthur speaks

"sorry" I say

"Just ask Alice what is it" Arthur says a bit louder this time

"Arthur" Elijah warns

"I wanted to know more about our parents" I say

Everyone looks at me

"We spoke about them already" Alex says

"I know but I want to know more about them. " I say softly

"What do you want to know" Ace asks

"Whatever you want to say about them I don't know anything" I say

"Just tell me one thing you want to know about them we will talk about other things later" he says

I think there are so many things I want to ask... but I don't even know their names

"I want to know their names"

"Dad's name is Steve Romano-"

Tears clouded my vision and I could hear his voice (Author note: he has not yet been introduced yet)

"It is because of Steve Romano you are here" 

"Steve Romano sent you here"

"You are here only because Steve Romano. He sent you here it is all his fault" 

"Alice" someone shook me

I looked up and saw Alex

He sat down and placed me in his lap.

He held my hand and placed it on his chest and said " listen to my heartbeat and calm down" 

I do as he says and we sit like that for five minutes 

I calmed down and hugged him silently crying on his shoulder.

"What happened Bambina?" Elijah asks

I looked around and saw all of the brothers are looking at me worried and Issac is crying

"Why are YOU crying" I point at Issac 

"I am not crying" he says

"Can you tell us what happened Magnolia" Ace asks 

I hug Alex and shake my head

He hugs me protectively

"She wont say anything she doesn't want to" he says 

Everyone agrees. 

"Can you finish your dinner" he asks. I shake my head

"Do you want to go to your room" he asks. I shake my head again

"Do you want to go to my room"  I nod

He carries me to his room. 

"What do you want to do stella" he asks

I hold him tightly 

" I am not leaving you principessa" he says

I nod

"change your clothes then we will sleep, ok?" he asks 

"okay" 

he gives me his hoodie and I go to his bathroom to change my clothes

I get out of the bathroom and go to lay on Alex's bed

He comes out of the wardrobe he comes beside me and hugs me 

"You don't have to be scared about anything your brothers are here to protect you go to sleep .  Goodnight stella. "

I nod " Thank you Alex" 

I go to sleep a little relaxed but I get a nightmare that I haven't had before.

It was related to my panic attack.
