*Abuse and Sexual assault mentioned in this chapter*

Chi's POV:

I wake up in an unfamiliar room, it looks kind of like a hospital. I look around and see all my brothers are here. I also see my sister and our new friends we made.

"Where am I?" -I say, not asking a particular person.

"Your in the hospital Chi" -Vi says looking scared.

"Well I shouldn't be here, so I'm just gonna go, nice to see you all, but bye" -I say quickly trying to take the damn IV out of my arm. But the stupid thing wouldn't budge.

"No, just calm down you're going to hurt yourself" -Alessandro says pinning me down.

But before I can argue and say no, a doctor come into the room.

"Excuse me, can everyone who is not part of the Bianchi family please leave, I have to talk to the family" -The doctor says.

All of our friends then nod and leave.

"Okay now this is just the Bianchi family correct" -He then says.

"Yeah these are all my brothers and twin sister" -I say.

"Well I have a sensitive topic to talk with you about, do you want everyone in here?" -He then says, honestly I don't want everyone in here knowing I was abused yet.

"Can Vi just stay with me" -I whisper.

"What!" -Diego says.

"I'm just not ready yet" -I also whisper.

"Okay bambina" -Alessandro then says with a soft look in his eyes. He then kisses my forehead and leads our brothers out of the room. That's the calmest I've ever seen him, and I feel like it's not going to last.

"Okay, so we took some X-Rays of you while you were passed out, it was an emergency, and we don't like what we've found" -He says which makes me squeeze Vi's hand.

"You have many unhealed bones in your body, and you have many bruises. I also know that currently you have a broken collarbone, and on top of those things, you look a little underweight for your age" -He said looking sadly at me. There it is, finally it's out and damn it hurts. I look away from the doctor.

"I can't ask you questions about this, but I have informed the police and they are coming in to question you" -He then said, which at that point I started to cry.

He then left and our brothers came in, they looked at me with sadness.

"Do y-you guys k-know" -I asked in between sobs.

"Is there something to know" -Diego then says.

"Just answer her" -Vi says tiredly.

"No, they wouldn't tell us anything, but we just wish we could take away your pain" -Alessandro then says to me.

"Oh" -Was all I could say.

Then suddenly a police officer came into the room, it was a woman.

"Hello Chiara, my name is Isabella Martinez, usually people call me Officer Martinez, but you can call me Isabella" -Officer Martinez (it feels weird calling her Isabella) said.

"Oh that's fine I can call you Officer Martinez" -I say.

"That's totally fine, okay well I have to question you, so let us begin" -She said and I was terrified.

She started off with a few questions about our home life and then she asked me two very hard to answer questions.

"Have any of your foster parents threatened to or actually hurt you" -She said, which made me tense up. I looked at Vi and she was also tense and looking at me scared.
