I'm at school 🤡
Enjoy ♡
....................
Mirabella :
Seb held my hand as he guided me towards the ballroom on the other side of the house.
My heels clicked against the marble floor as I held my head up high.
We reached the doors to find Aspen and Akari already there. Seb held my hands.
"Alright, just wait here for Matt, I wish I could go with you, but I can't amore.. I'll see you inside", he said and kissed my temple before entering the room.
You could hear the commotion from inside, sounds like it's crowded.
"Oh wow", someone whispered behind me.
I turned around and faced my twin who had tears in his eyes.
I let my eyes study him, he was wearing a black tuxedo and a black shirt, with a red tie.
"You look goerguous", he said cupping my cheek.
"You don't look bad yourself", I replied.
He chuckled and held my right hand.
"Close your eyes", he said and I complied.
I trust him with my life.
I felt a cold metal loop around my right ring finger.
"Open", he ordered.
I opened my eyes and looked at my hand.
My ring.
The ring that grandpa gave us all, I lost it long ago.
"Where did you find it?", I asked, trying hard to keep my tears at bay.
"We didn't, nonno made new ones for all of us.. more smart ones, he'll explain how they work later", he answered, and held his hand so I can see his new ring.
Mine looked the same as the old one, but the pearl had a little darker shade than the last one.
"Do you know what they have prepared?", I asked.
He shrugged, "I was just told that sander will pick you up, and that I need to get ready for some kinda party.. you?".
I shook my head.
He swung his arm around me, and pulled me closer.
"Oh how brave you were my fiore", he said nearly above a whisper.
(My flower)
I smiled knowing he thought I didn't hear him.
The shatter inside the ballroom died out, I glanced at my twin and he nodded, and held my hand.
I whistled at the wolves, and signaled them to be on each our sides, akari on his, and Aspen on mine.
"Ready my crysocola?", he asked giving my hand a little squeeze.
"Always", I replied and squeezed his in return.
A soft music played as we walked gracefully into the ballroom, face showing no type of emotion.
Everyone was here.
Literally everyone, I saw so many mafias which I have recognized from the past ceremony.
Everyone bowed their heads as I made my way towards the table near the stairs, where my family stood looking proud.
"That was quit an entrance", said rafael as we all sat down making us all chuckle.
I glanced at seb to see him already staring at me.
Even after everything that has happened, I still feel those kinds of things when I'm with him.
I held my breath, and smiled at him.
"Wait, why are there so many people, I thought there would be a small group of guests", frowned Mattio.
"Ahem.. well, because this is something special", answered papà making Matt's frown deepen.
I looked at seb, "you know?", I asked.
He just smirked and looked away.
Fishy.
As if on cue, the lights of the ballroom dimmed, making it look darker.
Mattio squeezed my hand and moved closer.
Seeing as no elder panicked, I stayed calm.
A door screech startled me, and I held Matt's hand tighter.
"You two, close your eyes", hissed nonno.
Mattio and I exchanged looks before closing our eyes, still holding eachothers hands.
I heard shuffling around us and chairs screeching.
"Now open", whispered zio Dante between us.
I opened my eyes and so did Mattio, and I didn't know which one of us gasped because I was too concentrated on what's in front of me.
Everyone in the ballroom was facing us now, it was easy because our back was to the stairs, which gave them more space.
What shocked me more was the huge birthday cake on the table in front of us.
'Happy birthday M.V.A' was written on top of it.
I glanced at Mattio to see him as surprised as I was.
He looked at me and smiled, "this is just perfect".
"Surprise", said Leo pulling me out of my thoughts.
I, for once, was not afraid to show my smile to these people around me.
My family.
I smiled widely at them, desperately begging my tears to not escape.
"We thought we could give you the birthday party you couldn't have", said papà smiling at us.
He moved forward and pulled both of us into a hug, "I'm so proud of you my babies... I wish she was here to see what you have become", he whispered loud enough for us to hear, his voice breaking a little bit at the end.
I pulled away and smiled up at him, "she is", I replied.
"Alright, let's do the birthday, I'm getting hungry here", grumbled zio salvatore making the room erupt in laughter.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU...", everyone sang as matt pulled me to him.
"I'm proud of you crysocola", he kissed my cheek.
"1".
"2".
"3".they counted as they finished singing.
We blew the candles at the same time after wishing.
"Happy birthday twinny", I said as I pulled him into a big hug.
"Happy birthday twinny", he chuckled and hugged me back.
"Happy birthday amore", said seb pulling me to him.
"Thank you", I replied as he pecked my nose.
"I never thought I'd see you live this day", grinned Alfonso pulling me into a crushing hug.
"Trust me.. me neither", I chuckled.
"Happy birthday sorellina.. I'm proud of you", he kissed my forehead.
"Oh God, can you believe this goerguous girl here is our sister?", questioned leo as he approached with his twin.
"I know right, haters would say it's a lie", replied enzo.
I giggled as enzo lifted me and spun me around.
"God. I'm so fucking proud of you", he said and kissed my cheek.
"Hey!! Me too", whined leo from behind him.
I let go and ran towards him, "look at my baby sister, so how old are you.. 7?", he mocked me and I slapped his arm.
"No silly, I'm 16!!", I exclaimed as he chuckled.
"And I hope I'll live to see you live till 100!!", he replied.
"That's too old dude, you'll probably look like my old clothes", I scrucnhed my nose.
He gasped, "how dare you, I look way be-", he was cutting off by enzo pulling him back and taking him away while they argued.
I giggled at their silliness, and felt someone tap my shoulder.
I turned around to face the culprit.
Liam grinned widely as he held an envelope in his hand.
I pulled him into a hug shocking both of us, it was my first time hugging him after what happened.
"Oh my God, I missed this", he whispered, and you could hear his voice breaking with every word.
I pulled away and looked him in the eye.
"I brought you something", he said handing me the envelope.
I frowned and narrowed my eyes at him, "what's this,?", I asked.
"Check and see for yourself", he shrugged.
I glared at him and ripped the envelope.
I gasped, "holly cow, where did you find these?",
There were probably 20 or more drawings of ours when we were young, we used to say that we'll look at them when we grow up so we can remember our moments.
My eyes swelled in tears as I hugged him again.
"I have kept them for the past years, just in case I would meet you again, and thank god I did", he whispered.
I smiled at him and gave him one last hug.
I turned around and found nonno sitting in a corner drinking from a glass, totally not aware of his surroundings.
I marched towards him and sat next to him as we watched people dance and laugh.
"I wish I was able to do something", he broke the silence.
I turned towards him and smiled, "you did", I replied.
I got up and ushered him to do the same, I stood in front of him, and I could tell he wasn't expecting my next move.
I hugged his waist tightly as if letting go means the death of me.
He stood frozen for a minute, trying to comprehend what just happened, until he relaxed and hugged me back.
"I was waiting for this for a long time... but I would have waited more if that's what you needed", he whispered softly.
"I know", I whispered back.
I know you would wait as long as I needed.
I know you'd hold on to hope while waiting for me.
So that's what I did.
I held on.
For you.
All of you.
