Emilia is a 15 year old girl who lives with her stepdad. Her stepdad loves and treats her as his own. Her mother died when she was 7 years old. She lives a happy live but what happens when suddenly her brothers and cousins she never knew she had, wa...
I screamed and was covered in my sweat. I begun crying. I had a nightmare again. I don't know why I always get those nightmares but they are always about my mom. About how she died. I don't know how many times I repeated this moment in my mind. And I really wanted it to stop. It felt so real like I was living my mother dead over and over again.
''Emilia can you hear me?'' Nicolo asked and shook me. My breathing started to get faster. I was having a panic attack. ''Emilia look at me.'' Nicolo said worried. I tried to calm down but it was hard because the only thing I could think about was my mom. ''Help'' Nicolo screamed. A few seconds later the other boy all run in his room. They all looked at me worried.
''She is having a panic attack.'' Nicolo said loudly. I still couldn't breathe normally. It felt like I didn't become enough air. All the boys run over to me to probably help me.
''Everyone step back this won't help it will only make it worse.'' Riccardo said in a serious and loud voice. And with that everyone immediately stepped back. ''If she keeps breathing like this she is gonna black out.'' Someone said I couldn't hear or see who it was. I was scared. Tear after tear escaped my eyes.
Riccardo sat on the bed next to me. ''Emilia I need you to look me in the eyes.'' He said in a soft voice. I turned my head and looked at him. ''Good.'' He said and smiled lightly. ''Now please concentrate on me and copy my breathing.'' he said. I looked at him and tried my best to copy his breathing. ''In an out...'' he said over and over again. After a few minutes it finally worked and I calmed down.
''You did great.'' He said and hugged me. He then pulled away from me and wiped my tears away. Everyone was watching us.
''What happened?'' Matteo asked in a worried voice. I didn't know what to say and I was tired as hell I just wanted to go back to sleep.
I think Francesco noticed that. ''We will talk about that tomorrow. You have school and it's in the middle if the night. So we will go back to sleep and talk tomorrow.'' Francesco said.
''But-'' Matteo, Leonardo and Luciano said at the same time, I guess they all wanted to know what happened.
Francesco gave them a stern look. ''I said we will talk tomorrow now go back to your rooms you too.'' Francesco said in a voice that left no room for a discussion and pointed on all the boys who had to go to school or college. Matteo, Luciano and Leonardo sight but then said good night with Domenico, Enrico and Romeo. They also asked if I was okay which I answered with an yes and then went out of Nicolo's room I guess to their own ones.
As the younger ones were out, the older ones asked me if I really was okay or if they could bring me something. I said I was fine and that they could go back to sleep. They all went over to me gave me a kiss on the forehead, looked at me once again before walking out.
''Can I stay here for the rest of the night.'' I asked shyly. I normally hate showing weakness for example I would never cry public or in front of people I don't trust or don't really know. I know I don't know this people here really good I mean I only know them for tow days. But I already cried a few times in front of them and they are my brothers. So it doesn't really bother me that I cried earlier. I noted that everyone cries I mean even Nicolo cried and he is everything other than weak. That doesn't mean I'll cry more often. It's just not as bad as I thought.
''Of course you can.'' Nicolo said softly and smiled at me. ''I'm just gonna change in a other pj.'' I said and he nodded. I walked out and got to my room where I changed in and other pj.

I then went back to Nicolo's room. I was finding my way around pretty good at least to the bedrooms. That was easy but the rest. Okay but I'm only here for tow days so I have an excuse. I was now in Nicolo's room again and yawned.
''Oh there is someone sleepy.'' He said and giggled a bit. ''Come on.'' He said telling me to come in the bed next to him. I did that and started to cuddle up with him. It makes me feel safe. I felt safe with this guys, I really did.
Nicolo's pov
Emilia was only here for two days and she already changed us so much. I saw so many of my brothers smile because of her what never happened before. Or that they were soft like Riccardo today what also never or at least not often happened. We all gave in this two days more hugs to a person then in ten years. We all gave our best that she felt safe and comfortable with us. She started to change us all into better men without even knowing.
Riccardo's
What I saw today all those worried faces and talking back to Francesco just to know that Emilia is okay was Wow. Cause three days ago nobody in my family would have done this for someone. We all loved each other but now Emilia is back she is showing us how to love and show it. She makes us better without even knowing.

The next morning I woke up in Nicolo's bed alone. He must have already woke up. I looked at the clock it was 9am. I stood up and got to my room, took a shower, put some comfortable clothes on cause I can't go out anyways cause I'm grounded yay. (not of sarcasm)

I then saw that someone brought the shopping bags up in my room so I decided to unpack these. I also unpacked the Gucci shopping bag where my outfit was in. I took the outfit out and putted it under some cloths in the back of the closet so nobody could see it. After that I brushed my teeth and went downstairs to find everyone but those who probably went to school. They all greeted me and I greeted them back.
''Come on eat something.'' Lorenzo said. And here we go again. ''I'm not hungry.'' I said and now everyone looked at me. ''Just eat something Emilia'' Dante said. Oh fuck you I thought and rolled my eyes.
''Hey.'' Riccardo said in a loud and serious voice. Why so early. ''Sorry'' I said wanting to roll my eyes again, but didn't do it.
''Now sit down and eat.'' Francesco said. I sight but sat down and started eating those scrambled eggs. I took a sip orange juice when Lorenzo said, ''I think we should go to a doctor because of her eating habits.'' Which made me spit the juice back in the glass.
''What'' I yelled. Did I mention that I hate doctors. They are so scary and I just hate them.
''Lower your voice and I think that's a good Idea.'' Francesco said. Fucking idiot. I'm perfectly fine I don't need a doctor.
''But-'' I begun but guess what I was interrupted. ''Emilia we are going to a doctor and I'm gonna call him afterwards end of story.'' Francesco said. God I hate him. I didn't said anything else cause i i know it won't change his mind, I just started to eat again.
I finished eating and wanted to go back to my room. I stood up and went to the door to go out.
''Wait'' Francesco said and I turned around. ''When the boys get back form school, we will talk about what happened this night.'' Oh no...
