Adina's POV
FLASHBACK
I was running towards the house because I was late and forgot to see the time, as I reached the house, I saw David standing there waiting for me and Amir and Alessio unconscious behind him, my eyes widen seeing them, I was about to run towards them but David stopped me by pulling my hair. it was quite painful so I screamed, he was pulling me towards to torture area, the basement aka our room. when he reached there, he threw me and take his belt out, then started to whip me it, he didn't stop until all my clothes were torn and my body was black and blue. I was on the edge of passing out when he stopped, I looked at my body seeing I was left in my undergarment, and I tied to hide my body by wrapping my arms around myself, just before I pass out, I heard Alessio coming to my name, by I had already given up, in the need to rest.
FLASHBACK ENDED
I woke up gasping heavily and not able to breathe properly, I concluded that I was having a panic attack, I tried to do my regular method of counting to 10 but it wasn't working, then I tried the method of naming three things I can feel, see etc but it only made my panic attack increase, when nothing worked, I felt alessio coming towards me and putting my face near his chest so I could hear his heartbeat, as I heard that, I was slowly and gradually was starting to able to breathe. as I calm down, I looked at Alessio and said " Thank you and sorry I woke you up"
Al just shakes his head and said "hey it's ok I was awake you-know-why so don't worry ok " I just nodded at him and looked at the time seeing its 4:30 AM and I went to sleep at 1:30 AM after finishing some work so I only got 3 hours sleep, I'm glad I at least got that, sometimes I don't even get that and think that I don't deserve it but my triplets help me through my doubts. Insomnia is a difficult thing for most people, for some it's pleasure, not going to sleep able to enjoy more and even though it's not healthy. I came to the pleasure category. I am glad I am not able to sleep a lot because I get to do more work towards the company in the calmness of the night than in the chaos of the day, but my brother, Alessio and Amir are in the middle of that thing, they enjoy it too but want it to end to so I try my best so they get at least 5-6 hours of sleep because its a lot for an insomniac person.
I was looking for Amir because if I woke up Alessio, he must be here too. After all, we three are light sleepers if one is awake around and made some noise, another woke up too but I couldn't see him so I asked Alessio "where is he", replied "you didn't wake him up because you didn't wake me up, I was already up and was going towards kitchen then I saw you thrashing around so I came towards you, I let you calm yourself first but when I saw nothing working, then I stepped in", I let his words soak in, then I looked at him, "why were you awake", he looked at me and shrugged saying "couldn't sleep". I shook my head at him, made him lay his head on my lap, and sang to him while caressing my fingers in his hair. after half an hour of doing it, he finally slept, I knew he was trying to stay awake but he couldn't resist the song and hair caressing. After I heard his snores, I left him in bed and went towards Amir's room to check on him, after seeing he is ok, I left and got changed into workout clothes and went towards the gym.
