Waking up hungover is never been my favorite feeling but this morning was different, it somewhat numbed the pain for me. I stretched getting up and looked over beside me and there was Ivy. Shit. Did we do anything? I don't remember a single event that happened last night past 7 o'clock. I groaned just thinking about last night.. I got hammered.
I got up slowly making sure I didn't wake Ivy. She looks so peaceful when she sleeps, its cute. I then went to my bathroom and tried to shower the hangover off of me. I didn't work as I planned I felt worse after it if that's even possible. I got out with a towel wrapped around my waist not expecting anyone to be awake so I went to look for clothes in my closet and turned to see two wide eyes staring at me causing me to laugh.
"Goodmorning Ivy." I said in between a laugh. She turned bright red and hid her face in the sleeves of what looks like my shirt. I must have given her that last night. I put on grey sweatpants and went back into bed laying next to her. I pulled her hands off her face kissing the backs of the gently causing her to turn a darker shade of red. I laughed and she buried her face in my chest in embarrassment.
"Hey. No hiding it's cute" I laugh pulling her up to meet my gaze gently. She just smiled so I returned the favor and smiled back. Blake, Bellamy, Celia, Grace, Ivy and I all hung out in our basement again except the girls made us all do facemasks. She pulled my hair up into a tiny ponytail on the top of my head and I hid in embarrassment. The other girls did the same to Bellamy and Blake. I think I really liked Ivy, it's just something about her that makes me forget everything and be happy.
While we waited for our masks to dry Ivy and I talked getting to know each other more. She also made me take pictures with her for her instagram which was kinda cute but don't ever tell her I said that. She asked about my family and my heart immediately sunk into my stomach. What am I supposed to tell her?
"Well, my parents died when I was little and my brothers. Well, my brothers died a couple weeks ago.. All three of them." I said to her my voice sinking. She looked at me with complete sorrow filling her features. I just smiled at her letting her know it was okay but she still pulled me into a tight hug. When she hugged me a tear fell down my cheek but I quickly wiped it away so she wouldn't see it.
After a day of just hanging out with the friends and the boys girlfriends they left for the night. Blake and Bellamy have been pestering me about Ivy but I've been pretty vague. We had a banquet with some top mafia bosses tomorrow that we had to attend. Marco made me cut my hair to a shorter length on the sides leaving it pretty long on the top which was fine I guess. I did not want to go to this banquet because they all know who I am and where I come from. I groaned and hopped in the shower. After the shower I just wrote in my journal when Marco came in and sat on the edge of my bed.
"Whats the matter mi primo." He said in a thick voice looking at me with his full attention like his life depended on it. I just shrugged him off and took my reading glasses off closing my journal slowly. He just continued to stare at me until I finally broke and told him.
"Marco don't you think it's going to be an issue that I'm not with my brother tomorrow and with you guys instead." I asked looking at him intently.
"Of Course not Joshua. You are family and if they have a problem tell me and I will take care of them mi primo." He said ruffling my hair causing me to laugh. I went to sleep that night hoping that this banquet went smoothly for my sake and my cousins.
Next Morning
This morning was very hectic but I managed to shower and get myself ready for this banquet we are going to attend. I wore a black button down shirt with tight black pants and a Gucci belt secured tightly around my waist. I then fixed my hair making it a little more slick back than I normally would.
The Sanchez brothers and I all hopped into the limousine taking us to the banquet hall as we arrived the whole place was flooded with people in black suits and their significant others. Blake and I nodded to each other making our way to our assigned table. Luckily, it was just Xander, Blake, Bellamy, Marco and I. I socialized with many of the top mafia heads and most of them asked where my brothers were which I didn't reply to but instead changed the conversation.
Everyone was snapped out of their conversations by someone talking on the stage with a microphone. This voice was all too familiar to me and I slowly turned my head to see my brother Asher hosting the banquet on stage. I growled looking in his direction and his gaze met mine but immediately left it. Luckily, I was standing by Blake and he put a firm hand on my shoulder stopping me from doing anything I would regret.
"Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen. I would like to welcome you all to this years banquet. I hope you all are enjoying seeing familiar faces because I know I am." He said looking right at me winking. I didn't know what to feel, happy? sad? angry?. I think at this point I was a mixture of every emotion you could think of.
"Enjoy your evening everyone and remember dinner is at 7." He said cheerfully shutting off the microphone. By the end of his speech Marco had already made his to me and I wouldn't even look at him. I looked to all the Sanchez brothers and they all looked somewhat guilty. They knew.
"You guys knew didn't you." I growled looking at them all and there was no response. I really couldn't believe what was happening right now.
"You knew and you still executed my only good brothers." I spat looking directly at Marco in disgust. I really couldn't believe them. Was this the plan all along? I stormed out of the banquet despite their calls to me. As I walked out the front entrance I felt a firm hand on my shoulder and let me tell you it wasn't Marco.
"Its been awhile brother. Lets have a chat shall we?" I heard Asher's voice chime in behind me.
