*REVAMPING*
"Some of us matured early because life showed us the worst side of the world at an early age"
Valencia Andrea Knight has had one hell of a life. Trauma is an understatement. From being kidnapped as a child to being abused both physically...
♧︎We didn't realise we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun♧︎

My loud yawn caught everyone's attention as I strolled into the kitchen in one of my brothers massive hoodies and tight black leggings.
I was surprised when I noticed that all of my brothers were sat round the island in the kitchen. All but Giovanni who is most likely still asleep.
"Why aren't you guys at work?" I ask as I climb up onto the counter so that I could reach for a glass.
"I thought we could spend some time together, all of us. We'd like to get to know you Val." Lorenzo explains with a slight smile. That's a very good point actually. What do they know about me except the facts?
"Sure i'd love to. What were you thinking?" I ask as I jump up into the spare chair by the island with my now full glass of water. Before everyone erupts.
"Snooker."
"Roller skating."
"Movie."
"Ew how boring"
"You ain't even good at roller skating"
"I would so smash you at snooker."
"ENOUGH!" Alessandro yells already looking completely fed up of our bickering. "Valencia, what would you like to do?"
"Can you guys pleaseee teach me football, i've wanted to learn for ages" I plead as Ivan never let me play as apparently it was a 'boys sport' and not for pretty little things like me.
"Football?" everybody asks in unison sending me confused glares. Did I say something wrong?
"She means soccer" Gio grunts as he walks into the kitchen running a hand over his face as he sits down next to Angelo.
"Ok all of you be ready in 10" Ale says as he points to all of us before walking away most likely to his office.
Over the moon with the fact that they actually want to spend time with me, to get to know me, I skip upstairs to my bedroom to go get ready. I can already feel like today is going to be a good day. Just me and my 6 brothe- ok, ok, ok, calm down, totally not that scary.
I tie my hair in a lose pony tale with strands falling out at the front to shape my face and I then pick out a white skort, a nike hoodie and some white air forces.

I immediately make my way down stairs being the last one as everybody stands on the foyer waiting for me.
"Could that skirt get any shorter?" Gio asks as he sends me an u sure look.
"Yes actually, it could. Want me to show you? I reply with a raised eyebrow as I cross my arms over my chest.
He just ignores my response but makes sure I see his eye roll as everyone begins to head out the door and get into Alessandro's 7 seater car.
Convenient.
In a car ride that seemed to last for ever due to everyone's bickering (mainly over who got the aux) I finally felt like I belonged somewhere. Yes, we argue all the time, but we wouldn't be siblings if we didn't. We for once felt like.. a normal happy family; especially away from all that mafia shit.
I can't wait until I can get away from it all to be honest. I wouldn't really say the mafia lifestyle is for me. Definitely too many scary looking guys with anger issues if you ask me.
But more importantly, for the first time ever, I finally feel loved.
We soon arrive at a large field and we immediately all climb out of the car when Giovanni, Gianni and Luca all begin racing whilst Angelo gives me a piggy back and Enzo and Ale bicker about what a stupid idea this was. Laughter however filled the air.
All a bunch of man children honestly.
After a brief explanation of how the game worked we honestly just wanted to get started so we split up into two teams.
Me, Gianni and Ale vs Angelo, Gio and Enzo with Luca insisting to be the referee.
"Let the games begin" Luca yelled. He's way to invested in this-
Gio started with the ball but was immediately tackled by Ale who passed it to Gianni but was then intercepted by Enzo who started darting towards the other side of the pitch.
"VAL GET OFF YOUR LAZY ASS AND DO SOMETHING" Luca yells waving his arms like a mad man in the air.
Oh yeah shit. Forget i'm supposed to be helping. Who's in my team again?
Without even a second thought I run straight into Gio who now has the ball causing me to fall to the floor from the impact.
"Shit, Val you ok?" he asks looking the most worried he ever has. He of all people actually cares?
"Yeah you fell for it" I say as I grab the ball out of his hands now that he was distracted and I ran so fast you'd think Ivan was behind me to the other side of the pitch and scored.
Yeah.. too early for those kind of jokes?
"GOAL!! 1 NIL TO VAL'S TEAM" Luca yells as Ale pull me up into his shoulders after Gianni attacked me with a hug causing a massive grin to appear on my face without even realising it
After playing non-stop for a couple more hours, we went to visit Carlos in hospital much to my brothers dismay but hey, I have them wrapped around my little finger, what can I say. Whatever the princess wants, she gets- words from Alessandro Knight himself.
Now we're in a little diner down the road from our house and believe me when I say, we haven't stopped talking.
"Luca what did I tell you about stealing my AirPods?" Gianni says giving Luca one of the most harshest glares.
"Uh, not to use them." Luca replies looking like a lost puppy. "Exactly, I don't want your skanky ear wax on MY AirPods" Gianni says as he snatches the AirPods out of Luca's hands before slapping him at the back of his head.
