MARCELLOS POV
I heard that man's name.
Angelo
I couldn't keep it together. To find out he abused my sister. He kidnapped my sister. He raped my sister.
I ran up to my room. I stopped at my door and decided to go to Arias room. I found Ello, her teddy bear I got her, and sat on the floor. Crying.
God why the hell are you crying you should be comforting your sister?
You're selfish
The door opening snapped me out of my thought. I looked up to see Ari starring at me as tears continued to stream down my face.
"I-I'm sorry I can go" I muttered as she came running up to me.
"Mar what's wrong?" She ignored what I had said and wiped my tears.
"I should be comforting you. Not the other way around" I told her
"No, none of that shit. If you need me I'm here whether I have my own shit or not." She scolded me.
I looked into her eyes. All I see is pain in them. "A-Ari" I broke down crying again.
She sat onto the floor with me and grabbed me. Pulling me into her, hugging me tightly.
She let me cry. She cried with me. We both needed to let everything out. We looked at each other and wiped each others tears. She got up and pulled me up with her. She led me to her bed and we layed down.
"Why are you crying orsacchiotto di peluche" ?(teddy bear) she said softly.
"Don't call me that" I furrowed my brows and laughed.
"I'll call you what I want" she scowled then smiled at me "now tell me why did you come to my room to cry"
I looked down closing my eyes "h-he used to do it to me too"
She hugged me tighter "what do you mean Marcello?"
"He umm h-he used to beat me and r-rape me" I choked out as tears began falling from my eyes.
"Oh mar I'm so sorry" she lifted my head up to look at her "it's not your fault you know that right?"
I nodded and asked her "you know it's not your fault either" she looked away for a moment then looked back
"It kind of is...he would beat and r-rape me because I looked like mom" I looked at her wide eyed.
"Don't you ever say it's your fault. Ever okay?" She nodded.
I then decided to ask "how old were you when h-he?"
She answer slowly "It was my 10th birthday when it started. He came home drunk and began yelling at me. Telling me I looked just like her and t-that's when h-" I cut her off.
"It's okay you don't have to finish I understand" the look in her eyes thanked me for not making her finish.
"How about you?" She asked cautiously
"I was 4 when he first started to touch me but I didn't know it was wrong. That continued till I was 6. Then he actually did it. It ended when you were taken. I was 7" I choked out holding back tears.
"I'm so sorry Mar. this may be fucked up to say but I'm glad it ended when I was taken. That I could save you from that. You were so little" she said kissing my forehead
I scolded "don't ever say that Aria. I would have rather dealt with that my whole life then let you go through that"
She hugged me tightly "I love you Marcello"
I stood shocked for a minute. Running her words over and over again in my head. "I love you too Ari"
We hugged tightly and soon sleep over came both of us.
LORENZOS POV
I didn't want to leave her. None of us did but we had work to do.
"Find his grave Leonardo!" I yelled across the office.
"It won't be set till Sunday at the funeral" Leo informed me.
"Fuck!" I yelled frustrated.
I haven't seen my brothers and I like this since she was taken. This is tearing all of us apart.
"Don't worry once we get his body we will give him the death he deserves" Sandro tried to comfort me.
"I just hate she has to kill him. She had to go through all of that and we weren't there" I said as I pinched the bridge of my nose.
"It's my fault she was taken" Leo said as he looked down. " I had been begging for you to let me read to her that night. I fell asleep before I got to. If I had been awake I could've saved her. She could have been here with us the whole time. Mom and dad would still be here " Leo chocked out.
He was crying
"Don't say that Leo. It's no one's fault. If he wanted to take her he would have taken her there was no avoiding that" Sandro comforted him
"We don't blame you or anyone else other than him okay?" I told him sternly.
He nodded and got back to work.
I haven't seen him show any emotion since the night she was taken. It's nice to see him coming back to himself.
"I'm gonna go check on them" I said as I walked out of the office. I needed to see her. To see she was safe.
I stopped at Marcellos room and he wasn't there. I had an idea of where he was. I went to Elios room next.
I walked in to see him asleep peacefully with a box of Oreos. I smiled to myself as I shut the door.
I went up to Arias door and opened it quietly. I was right. There I see Marcello and Ari asleep in each others arms.
I quickly took a picture and left.
I'm so happy she's home. I think Marcello would have killed one of us by now if she hadn't come home when she did.
