▸ MATEO ♰ ˊˎ -
My heart hurts.
Genuinely, it hurts.
Why?
Because of the beauty in my arms, sobbing.
The fact that someone scarred her this bad, that even a mention of the 'place' drives her into this...panicked state.
There's nothing I can do, except hug her and try and calm her down.
I've already sat us down, she curled into my lap, still clutching onto my shirt in despair, as if I'd disappear if she let's go.
As if I'd ever do that to her.
Her sobs started slowly calming down, into cute little sniffles.
"Shh Angel...it's alright...you're okay.." I mumbled into her hair.
She sniffled looking up at me, red brimming her eyes, "Th-thank you s-so much M-Mateo.."
I smiled, "No need to tha-"
I was interrupted by my door slamming open.
"Oi Mateo! Hey sunshine." Aiden smiled.
"Wait, sunshine?" Aiden looked at Angel with worry.
"What's up motherf- Oh hi Angel!" Mason said stepping to the room.
"Mateo, what have you done to our sweet little Angel?!" Mason gasped holding his hand over his heart.
"Idiotas. I didn't do anything." I grunted.
"G-guys I'm fi-fine..I pr-promise!" she hiccuped.
"Sunshine, you've clearly cred your heart out, what happened?" Aiden asked sitting down.
"I j-just had some is-issues with my c-cousins.." she mumbled, fiddling with the sleeve of my hoodie.
"Speaking of.." I trailed off.
She glanced up at me curiously.
"..We need to get you home soon." I mumbled.
"O-oh...right, yeah u-um..." she said.
"Do you want me to give you a ride?" I asked, holding her face in my palms.
"S-sure, if y-you don't m-mind.." she blushed.
Is she crazy? Any time I can spend with her, I'll take.
"Of course I don't mind, sweetheart." I smiled.
She nodded and mumbled a 'thank you' before getting off my lap.
I already miss the warmth.
"That was the cutest thing ever." Aiden said in amazement.
I flicked him on the forehead before getting up.
Angel was grabbing her clothes and heading for the bathroom.
"Wait, Angel." I said grabbing her hand.
She turned to me with furrowed brows, "Hm?"
"You can just keep my clothes on. It's already a bit chilly out." I said scratching my neck.
Even though she's only gonna be out when she goes to my car and inside her house.
Maybe I just want to see her in my clothes.
Guilty.
"O-oh! Alright, t-thank you!" she smiled.
I smiled back and grabbed her hand before kissing it.
Rushing out of the room, I could hear my two jackass best friends 'awwing'.
Dumb idiots.

▸ ANGELINA ♰ ˊˎ -
I was now in Mateo's car.
I'm super thankful for him.
He was so nice and caring towards me when I was crying earlier.
"T-thank you ag-again for u-um.. c-comforting m-me....I r-really appreciate i-it." I said.
"Of course, Angel. I'm always here if you need comforting." he smiled.
He's so nice.
It feels so...refreshing.
We were already pulling up to my driveway.
Aw, bummer.
"We're here. Text me later, tell me how it went with your cousins, alright?" he said looking into my eyes.
I nodded, "Yu-yuppie. Thank y-you!"
I got out and gave him a little wave before walking inside my house.
"I-I'm home..!" I somewhat yelled.
I heard footsteps instantly rush for the door.
My brothers and cousins were there.
"H-hi..." I mumbled.
"Where were you?"
"Are you alright?"
"Whose clothes are you wearing?"
"Have you been crying?"
"Have you eaten?"
"ENOUGH!!" A voice boomed.
My father.
He walked up to me and opened his arms.
I immediately bolted to him and hugged him tightly.
"Are you alright, bambina?" he murmured. (child)
"I-I'm okay...I was at Mateo's.." I whispered.
He nodded.
"How about we all go to the living room to talk?" my dad asked, turning his head around to face the guys.
They nodded and I heard a few 'okay's' before we all went to the living room.
I sat down between dad and Luciano, and Luci hugged me to his side.
"We are so so sorry, Angel.." Domenico muttered.
"We've just had a hard time accepting that you're moving on from what happened and growing..." Arturo added.
"Why..?" I asked.
They all looked at eachother.
"It's because....we have had a hard time getting past it." Cristian sighed.
What?
Seeing my furrowed brows, Valentino spoke up,
"We never forgave ourselves. We let you get close to that stronzo, without paying more attention to who he was." (asshole)
They blamed themselves.
"I-I....I'm s-sorry..I never bl-blamed you guys...I th-thought you guys didn't l-like me because whenever y-you came ov-over, you would s-spend time with m-my brothers but n-no time with me..." mumbled with tears in my eyes.
Luciano started running his hand up and down my arm, to calm me down.
"We are so sorry, we just always felt so fucking guilty looking at you, the non-stop sadness in your eyes. It hurt." Domenico said.
"It-It's okay...I d-don't blame y-you gu.guys..." I answered.
"We'll leave you guys alone." papa said, getting up with my brothers.
As soon as they were out of the room, my cousins rushed to my side.
"I know you said it was alright, but we'll still make this up to you, we promise." Cristian said.
I burst into tears, for the third time today.
"I l-love you g-guys so mu-much!" I whailed.
They were all hugging me.
"We love you too, so so so much, girasole." Arturo mumbled. (sunflower)
We all just stayed there, hugging eachother tightly.
I'm just glad to get my cousins back. Properly.
"How about we have a movie night?" Domenico spoke up, after I'd stopped crying.
"O-oh yes! L-like when I wa-was yo-younger!" I sat up.
"Yes! I'll get the snacks!" Valentino said, rushing to the kitchen.
"We'll go choose the movie." Cristian said, gesturing to me and him.
"I'll get blankets and pillows with Arturo." Domenico said.
Me and Cristian got up, heading to the movie room.
We plopped down on the couch, and began scrolling through Netflix.
"How aboooout...Coraline?" Cristian smiled.
He remembers?
"You remember?" I asked looking up at him.
"Of course I do. I'd never forget." he said kissing my head.
Soon enough, the rest of my cousins came in with heaps of blankets and pillows.
And Valentino carrying the most yummy looking snack trays ever.
"O-oohhh, these l-look so del-delicious V-Valentino!" I licked my lips.
He chuckled, "Thank you. I love making food for you, you're always so thankful."
How could I not be thankful?
If someone makes me food, you better be sure as cheesepuffs I'm thanking and complimenting them.
I like food. Hehe.
"Of course, I'm just being honest." I giggled.
"We're watching Coraline? Not surprised, considering we let Angelina help pick the movie." Domenico chuckled.
Usually I'd feel bad, but I know they're joking, so I just giggled.
"C-Coraline is th-the best. You k-know it." I smiled.
Domenico playfully rolled his eyes, "Yeah, uh huh, right.."
We all huddled up on the couch and started the movie.
I remember, back when I was younger, we always had movie nights with my cousins.
We always ended up watching Disney movies.
Hehe, whoops.
I started feeling really tired really quickly, today had been so exhausting, with all the crying.
Atleast I got to meet Mateo's dog!
Speaking of Mateo, I should text him quickly.
I looked around me, my cousins already fast asleep.
That didn't take long.
I grabbed my phone, and looked for Mateo's contact.
me
hi, solved everything with my cousins, we made up & we r watching a movie rn :) im getting sleepy so i probably wont answer back anymore, i will message you when i wake up! have a good rest of your day :P
I put my phone on my lap and began to feel my eyelids closing.
Before I fell into a deep slumber, my phone lighted up with a message.
Mateo ♥
sleep well, pretty girl.
With red cheeks, that resembled a tomato, I fell asleep.
Laying my head on Cristians shoulder.
This is nice.
