Xander's POV
After Valentina left at dinner
" Xander I know that you care about her, a lot at that, but we need to be patient and let her feel safe. She won't open up if she doesn't trust us " Vincent tells me.
" What is Vincent talking about Xander ? " Dad asks.
I tell him about me and Valentina's encounter in the hallway. He also slaps me in the back of my head once he heard how I treated her.
" She's clearly hiding something and I will find out. I swear if someone hurt her I'm gonna kill them " I say cracking my knuckles.
" Calm down boy, we all are going to kill them " Dad says getting up from the table.
Everyone else leaves the table, leaving me alone in my thoughts. Guilt begins to rack my whole body.
" You just had to say those things about her, now her first impression of me is being the worst brother possible " I say out loud slamming my head onto the table.
I sigh and get up to clean my area of the table. After I was done, I head upstairs to my room.
I walk past Valentines door and just stand there, starring at it.
' Just go in ' I tell myself.
I take a deep breath and knock.
After they played Mario Kart.
" Yes finally! " I shout finally beating Val.
I wait for her to say something but she doesn't reply.
" Val ? " I say turning to look at her.
She was out cold.
" Come on, its not fun rubbing my win in your face when you're asleep " I say chuckling a bit.
I set the controller down on her nightstand and pick her up. I move her higher up onto the bed.
I shut the TV off and go lay down beside her.
" Ti amo sorellina " I say kissing her forehead, resting her head against my arm.
( Translation: I love you little sister )
And just like that, I fell asleep.

" What time is it Princess? " I ask slowly waking up.
" Princess?! That can't possibly be my twin " I hear Xavier shout.
That instantly woke me up.
I look around the room and see all my brothers except Alex and Vincent.
I quickly leave the room, but not before threatening them. I head back into my room and do all of my usual morning stuff.
I head downstairs and sit beside Vincent.
" Morning " I say yawning.
" Good morning Xander " he says taking a sip of his coffee.
" Dad should be down soon " he says looking at me.
" Ok " Is all I say.
" So, did you have a talk with Valentina? " he asks.
" Yea, I apologized " I say reaching for the water.
" Good you're finally maturing, I'm proud of you " Vincent says putting the coffee mug down.
I just nod my head.
Finally everyone comes downstairs, well everyone except Val.
" Damn Will you really like going all out " Ace says taking a seat at the table.
" Well I need to make sure my bambina eats properly " Will says taking a seat as well.
" Aw thanks for caring about me Will " Xavier says putting a hand over his heart.
" Not you moron " Ace sats smacking the back of his head.
" Ow " Xavier says rubbing his head.
Me and Alex start laughing.
" How ya been Alex " I say ruffling his hair.
" Stop doing that 'Ander " He says grabbing my wrist.
Then Valentina comes down.
" Morning Fam " She says lifting up her sweater a bit to scratch her stomach.
Then we all saw it.
" WHAT THE FU*K IS THAT ! " I shout in pure rage.
