♧︎She's forever gonna say 'I got this' with tears in her eyes♧︎

Zayden and I completely bunked the rest of school just talking about literally anything and everything. He was so easy to talk to. It's like he understood me. He never had a mother figure growing up and by the sounds of it he had a pretty shitty father but I didn't want to push him any further.

I know what it feels like.

I don't know what it was about him, he just seemed different and I felt safe with him. He wasn't like every other man in my life who makes me flinch at the smallest actions.

I don't even know him yet I feel safe?

I completely lost track of time as we sped through the streets of New York with totally no care in the world. For the first time in my life, I felt free. There was nobody I feared in this moment in time. It sounds cringey but I felt on top of the world.

As he began to slow down, I peered at my phone to see '11 missed calls'. Shit I completely forgot to tell my brothers.

I open my phone to see the first text 'Where tf are you?'.

"Zayden I need to get home, now. My brothers don't know where I am and they're probably plotting my death as we speak" I told him before he sped of towards the mansion. He chuckled at my statement, but I only wished I was joking

Shit. Shit. Shit. Alessandro's words were playing on my head. "You must tell one of your brothers when you wish to leave." What if they hurt me for this. Why couldn't I just listen. There is no way in hell that i'm going to fight off all 6 of them.

I say goodbye to Zayden round the corner from the house so that my brothers don't see him. I don't want anyone other than myself to get hurt for this.

I close the door behind me as I enter the foyer and the the living room to see 6 sets of eyes all darting towards me. They all stand up.

"Val. Where were you!?" Gianni asks looking like the only one in the room not losing his shit. Time for some more fucking lying.

"I went on a walk and lost track of time. Sorry that I didn't feel like talking to you guys after Gio screamed in my face" I said coldly so done with having to fear these guys every time I do something wrong.

I attemot to make my way upstairs but obvioulsy these drama queens weren't done just yet.

"What you're gone until 10pm and you don't even notice?!" Giovanni practically yells.

"I made some new friends ok and I was having fun and don't worry they're girls. Kayla and Liana". I state attempting to convince them to let this go.

"No way you're gonna be friends with them. Talk about a bad influence." Luca interrupts.

WHO THE FUCK DO THEY THINK THEY ARE? No way am I going to put up with this shit.

"WHY DO YOU LOT FEEL THE NEED TO CONTROL MY LIFE. LIKE I SAID BEFORE YOU'RE A BUNCH OF FUCKING STRANGERS. YOU DONT KNOW ME AND I DONT KNOW YOU SO STOP ACTING LIKE YOU DO!!" I scream waving my hands in the air whilst I make eye contact with every single damn one of them.

"Val, watch you're tone. We are your brothers and we are doing this for you're own good." Alessandro starts as he gets out of his seat with a cold stare on his face and his jaw clenched.

"Oh yeah? You're my brothers? Where were you the last 16 years huh? Don't expect to waltz into my life and for everything to be fucking perfect". I seethe.

"VALERIA!" He yells looking more mad than ever.

"What are you gonna do? Hit me? Go ahead, you might aswell. Brother." I push. "Actually you don't have to do anything, don't worry I won't be a burden to you lot anymore." I finish as I again attempt to storm up to my room but Lorenzo grabs my wrist to stop me.

I turn to look at him with so much anger already building up inside of me.

"Don't you see that we're doing this for your own good? We have enemies Val. Dangerous ones. We're part of the mafia and with that always comes death." Everyone around us nods in aggrement.

I snatch my wrist out of his grip allowing myself to storm off upstairs and slam my door behind me.

Thank god that's all they had to say.. for now.

As soon as I throw myself on the bed I immediately get a text from the new groupchat Kayla and Liana added me to.

Triple Sexy Skets

K- Clubbing tonight? I have a thing with the bouncer, he'll let us in ;)

L- Of course you do babe, no surprise there

There is nothing I need more, I'll meet you guys there?

K- Say less

I really need this right now. The question is how the fuck am I going to convince my brothers? I'm not. I'm going to sneak out, and believe me years of running away from Ivan with Alexei has paid off. Lets pray I just don't get caught.

I make my way to the bathroom to shower before I apply some light makeup including some mascara and lip gloss before heading to my closet to pick out an outfit.

I pick out a black, tight dress with sleeves to hide my bruises which still haven't improved in the week i've lived here and some black stilettos showing my white painted toe nails.

With not much time left, I quickly curl my hair and spray some of the Dior perfume I found in my closet.

I open up my window to find that it leads to the back side of the house, right in front of the garage. I carefully climb through it wanting to make as little noise as possible as I reach the roof of the garage and jump down onto the fence before climbing down and walking as quickly away from the house as possible.

Now that i'm pretty much out of sight I pull out my phone to see that Liana had sent me the location of the club which was luckily just outside this neighbourhood about 5 minutes away. I sped up when a car full of boys drove past all honking and whistling at me. Ew. Before I knew it I was nearly there.

As I reach the top of the street, I spot a building with blasting music coming from it and a group of teenagers making their way in.

Bingo.

This is going to be one hell of a night.
