secrets

4 | Moving in

Iris's POV

We entered the car ( any car model ) , buckled my seatbelt before Elijah drove to a near worn down building which was by the end of the road.

He stopped and asked : "do you need me to help you bring your stuff out" he asked.

"No" I said coldly.

I didn't want him to find out all the secrets but most importantly see how much I suffered because at this point of time , I don't need pity and I hate pity.

I exited the car , slamming the car door as I slowly took my feet to the house which is the last place I want to go back to and it isn't my home.

I don't even need 10 minutes to take all the things I have , i only need about 2 minutes as I barely have things.

My mum never buys me things , she only give me things like whips , scratches , burn marks especially on my birthdays which are very meaningful as I remembered every single one of it.

I entered the house , went into my room or you can say the basement. Took my spare shirt and leggings , and lift up a piece of wood of the ground and took out a box.

In the box , is filled with money notes and all of my daggers , knives and guns. With that I stuffed all of it in my bag making sure not to leave anything behind.

As I made my way back to the living room , i accidentally knocked down a vase.

BOOM.

Down the vase go before shattering into many pieces. I looked down and saw a paper which I picked it up slowly and looked at it. My birth certificate. I didn't have time to register about the fresh wounds made by the broken pieces of the vase when a sudden bang came and there stood a frantic Elijah.

I could see him looking around the house before it turned into a frown. When he looked at my state , the frown on his face slowly turned into a concern look when he saw me on the floor with a paper in my hand with shattered pieces of vase on the floor and blood dripping out from my hands.

"Are you okay"

"Yes , I'm perfectly fine. Let's go" I ushered him out , making sure he doesn't have a second look of the house.

I stepped out of the house , looking at it once more before making my way back to the car.

Elijah's POV

We went into the car and buckled our seatbelt before driving off to Iris's home. I stopped by a near worn down building but I can't stop looking at the state of the house. Is this where my sorellina lives at ?

"Do you need me to help you bring your stuff out" I asked.

"No" she said with her cold voice looking down without giving me a second glance before she slammed the door shut and walked to the house leaving me shocked.

I waited patiently for her when a sudden boom noise was made. Without giving a second thought , I quickly dashed to the door and opened it.

There I could see broken pieces of glass bottles and plates on the floor, dirty dishes , trash and even dried blood which made my heart boil.

But my attention was slowly drifted to Iris. In her hands , she was holding a piece of paper and blood oozing out from her hands.
"Are you okay" I blurted.

"Yes , I'm perfectly fine. Let's go" She said before ushering me out of the house and back to the car.

Iris's POV

I sat at the backseat of the car ( name any car model ) , looking out of the windows , listening to 'friends' by Chase Atlantic. I have to say that Chase Atlantic's songs are the best like no one can change my mind.

Paid no attention to Elijah when he was driving but I can feel his eyes burning holes inside of me and I'm pretty sure he notice that I kept shuffling in my seat and he slowly turn his gaze to the front which made me heave a sigh of relief.

I stared at my birth certificate and all of my information and notice that my name is not Iris Lopez but Iris Bianchi. That made me confused as to why my surname is Bianchi and not Lopez.

But why did Mia not tell me about my brothers. Why ? If only I had broken the vase earlier then I would have been able to leave the damn house. I placed the paper down and continued listening to my music.

Elijah's POV

I can't help but to think about the state of the house she lived in.

How much did she suffer living under neath that roof ? Why doesn't she seem affected by those wounds ?

I looked at her listening to music peacefully but could see her shuffling in her seat and decided to face in front as I didn't want to make her any more uncomfortable then it already is.

Iris's POV

Throughout the whole entire ride, none of us interacted with each other. It was dead silence.

You could hear the music blasting in my ear in the car. As I was scrolling through wattpad , I looked over to my left and realize we were already at New York.

Looking at my watch , I realize it has already been 2 hours since we left California ( just imagine the two states are nearby ).

I laid back in my seat continue listening to one of Chase Atlantic's songs , Swim.

I bet you feel it now, baby
Especially since we've only known each other one day
But, I've gotta work shit out, baby
I'm exercising demons, got 'em runnin' 'round the block now
Location drop, now
Pedal to the floor like you're runnin' from the cops now
Oh, what a cop out
You picked a dance with the devil and you lucked out
Yeah
The water's getting colder, let me in your ocean, swim
Out in California, I'll be forward stroking, swim
So hard to ignore ya, 'specially when I'm smoking, swim
World is on my shoulders, keep your body open, swim
I'm swimming, I'm swimming, I'm swimming, yeah
I'm swimming, I'm swimming, I'm swim-

but it was interrupted when the car suddenly came to a halt. I took out my earpieces and stuffed it in my bag before stepping out of the car where i could see the most beautiful house I've ever seen wait i mean mansion.

I took time to take in on how beautiful , extravagant this mansion looks. "Woah , y'all have a nice mansion" I said , still shock from the looks. "No , we" Elijah corrected.
