Adrianna's POV :

We sat in the driveway for a few moments, in silence. In the back of my mind, the memories of abandonment try to force their way forward. Did all these people also agree on just giving me away?

They keep my twin yet I'm unwanted. Are they all going to hate me for being cold-hearted. Yes, I slightly forgive my father and call him dad but I can't turn my emotions on. I barely do emotions, and I certainly am not going to be similar to a bunch of people who got to grow up as a proper family while I was fighting for my life.

Fuck my family, they are about to meet the bad bitch.

I slide out of the car and walk towards the door where my dad stands. We walk into the house and the loud chatter hits my ears, I walk forward trailing my dad who still hasn't spoken a word since his little outburst about the small complications that happened this morning.

A throat clears next to me and all of a sudden all eyes are on me, judging me, trying to read me, figure me out. If they do figure me out they have to let me know what the hell is going on in my head because even I don't know.

Suddenly two pairs of arms wrap themselves around me and pull me in, the smell of cherries hits my nose and I guess one of my aunties is hugging me, however, my body just stiffened at the contact. I don't hug - except Nico and Jay but they are different - this stranger continues to hug me until a voice speaks up.

"Nina let the poor girl go" she unwraps herself from me and smiles, I try to give a small smile however I don't know her. "Hi, I'm your uncle David, this is my wife Nina and these are our sons Bruno (22), Jake (20), and Peter (18)." The same voice speaks up, I give a small smile, the boys are all smiling at me when I look at them, I go to speak when another voice speaks.

"Hey principessa, I'm your uncle Kevin, this is my wife Kerala and our sons Hugo (21), Liam (19), and the twins Dominic and Harris (17). Liam, Dominic, and Harris all glare at me while Hugo gives a grin. How can you glare at someone you've known for like 5 minutes, wait for yep I can be hypocritical I am just a special case.

"Hi, I'm Adrianna" my voice comes out slightly harsher than I expected, most smile at me while I do get a few glares. Everyone starts talking to each other when I hear the front door open, I'm on guard anyway so I feel the presence enter the room even though no one else seems to notice.

I glance and see an older lady and man, I'm guessing they are my grandad and grandma. He clears his throat causing everyone else to look their way. The man who I assume to be my grandpa has a cold glare in his eyes, they meet mine and I keep my face void of emotion.

He looks me up and down analysing me, he gets ready to speak when a phone rings. Everyone checks their pockets when I realize it's my phone. I grab it and look at the caller ID. Nico. Of fucking course he has to call me. I go to decline it when my dad speaks up.

"You know the rules when everyone presents you answer on speaker, no secrets from the family." Well, fuck me then.

I gulp and answer the phone, putting it on speaker.

"Adrianna Rosalina Costello, mind telling me what the fuck you decided to do?" he questions, his voice boomed around the room and I see nearly every single person's eyes in the room narrow and glare at my phone. Oh no, overprotective family. I'm never going to get dick, never got those condoms back either. The women who stood in the room just had a small smile on their face, probably assuming I'm dating the dumbass on the phone.

"That fucking bitch, I'm going to kill her when I see her, Yo Nico do you know when Adri is coming here, I need to kill her. I'm on the phone with her dumbass. Well tell her I'm going to kill her when I see her, bitch ate my Ice cream" I try my hardest not to laugh at the conversation they are having while on the phone. I see a few amused faces among the grumpy ones.

"Mkay Bye Nico," I say before he can get anywhere.

"Excuse me young lady we are not finished here. You better not hang up on me Angel or I swear to god I will come over to your shit family's house and do this in front of them" his voice still holds anger.

"I'll call you later Nico, not a good time right now" with that I hang up. Everyone's face apart from my family's looks angry.

"He's my best friend" I smile, my family knows he means a lot to me already and hasn't interfered with any conversations we have had lately.

"Why did he say we were a shit family?" Liam aka Mr grumpy glare pants questions.

"This family dumped me on the door of an orphanage at the age of 2. He watched me cry myself to sleep for weeks, so he hates you all." I shrug my shoulders and go-to move. But I get stopped as I still haven't met everyone.

"I'm your grandfather Charles and this is your grandma Samantha" the woman, my grandma, gives me a big smile while my grandfather continues to look me over. He signals me forward and everyone is eagerly watching.

He's very fast for an old man, but I'm faster. I catch his wrist before it hits my face and turns my attention to him. "Where were you this morning?" he questions with a smirk. He knows. I smirk of my own and go on my tiptoes to whisper in his ear.

When I come back down he smiles then engulfs me in a hug. I tense again, "I like you" his voice is soft and gentle against his demeanour. "D-did grampa just hugs someone and he's smiling" someone yells from behind me.

Having used all of my social contacts, I start to edge towards the door, sadly my dad catches my movements and stops me.

"Adrianna, you sit down and watch this footage and explain to me why the fuck I had to bail you out of jail this morning." everyone apart from dad and grandpa stare at me, mouths wide open.

"You were in jail?"
"What did you do?"
"Bad bitch"
"Holy shit"

The voices of all my cousins start at once and I just stay still not wanting to get involved. "She was being a bitch so I smashed her head on the counter then blew up the place. Dumbass cops let me keep my nuggies though, and the captain of the station seems nice, we had a little chat" I smile before just walking out the room leaving everyone in shock.

Well for meeting the family that didn't go too badly. They are staying for a few weeks as well, and I'm going to school with the boys. So that's fun.

Cockblocked for life now, and half of them hate me. Yay. Family dinner is tonight as well, so that is exciting.
