Broken lies

Chapter 7

Marci's pov
I heard bread meowing and thought he was hungry so I got up my eyes were a little blurry and my eye that was red still was hurting because rubbing it so hard

With blurry eyes I was looking on the carpet for bread but as soon as my eyes started to adjust I seen a bunch of feet and lifted my head to see a bunch of men and a few woman with my papa and brothers

I got off the floor as fast as I could and grabbed my brothers hand because he was closer to me I held it tight and tried to stand more into his side than infront of all the people

But when I looked at them they all moved their eyes to my brother I was confused so I looked up at who I thought was Leon to see a man I didn't know but who looked just like me

Still holding his hand I reached my other hand to touch his face he was really pretty and he even had the same scar as me over his eye but when I went to go reach up to touch his face I was pulled away from him by papa

I looked at papa but he just looked at the man who looks just like and said "This isn't the way I would have like to introduce Marci but this is your cousin and Marci this is your older cousin Zion"

I took my eyes away from papa and looked back at Zion with a smile on my face I got away from papa and jumped on Zion and he caught me I put my face real close to his face and smiled

"You look like me Zion look our eye matches" I said while touching his face completely ignoring everyone  in the back of me I didn't know what a cousin but I just knew it was like another brother or sister

Zion just kept looking at me while holding me and papa spoke up " Sorry Zion she doesn't know that you don't like being touched" when I heard papa say that I frowned that means he didn't like holding my hand or would never hold my hand

Zion didn't say anything to that I poured and put my head down but when I did he spoke up " you can touch me bambino I don't mind" I raised my head back to his face and smile and hugged his neck

To lost in the moment I heard someone cry so I looked around at all the people and see a lady
I got off of Zion and grabbed his hand and walked over towards her

"Are you okay" she smiled at me and threw her body at me and hugged me really tight it hurt my ribs a little bit but I didn't care I loved hugs

I hugged her back just as tight as I could with one arm and she stepped back and a man came and stood by her she spoke " I'm your Nona and he is your Nono bambino"

I didn't know what that was but I wanted a hug from the man who's my Nono to so I pulled him towards me and hugged him too everyone looked around and smiled than the man grabbed my cheeks

I smiled at him while he looked at me than he smiled everyone stared shocked before dad cut the silence by saying we should all go down to the living room

I stayed glued to Zion and even when we were seated I sat on him so there was enough space for everyone

Everyone was telling me their names and who there are to me so I asked " why don't you just say brothers and more papas and moms" everyone giggled but I was confused that's basically what it is right

Zion turned me to face him and started explaining what a uncle aunt and Nonna and Nono are I was a little lost but at least I got cousin right it's just more brothers so I was happy

We all were talking when we heard a door open I turned my head and seen Leon walk in with a few other men "Leon we have more brothers" Leon smiled but then I seen red blood on all of their clothes

I turned to Zion and ran and grabbed his hand "help them their hurt Zion" my papa looked at Leon and the other men and shook his head before speaking in another language " go change your clothes while I make up something" Leon just answered back "I'm sorry we thought it would just be you all when we returned"

I was scared so I looked at Leon again and the men around him and thought if no one was going to help them I was " where does it hurt let me help you I grabbed Leon first than looked at the other men and grabbed the older man " I know it hurts but I'll help you okay I promise"

The man took off his shirt that was over the other one and wiped his face than picked me up and said " we were painting with fake blood no injuries here okay don't worry we're all okay" he kissed my head and put me down

Fake blood really look like real blood but I was happy they weren't hurt they all went upstairs and I went back over to Zion completely forgetting about the fake blood

I sat on him and leaned back into his chest after so long Leon and the other boys came downstairs and they introduced themselves they looked so much like the other man I hugged

We all got talking for a few more hours and I turned to face Zion " Zion we're sharing a room right like you won't leave for another room" he just nodded his head at me and with that went back to listening to everyone talk

I felt sleepy so I just turned to fully face Zion and layer my head on his arm and went to sleep I like him he was so warm and reminded me of bread
