Audrey isn't exactly your average 15 year old, she has type 1 diabetes. Which means frequent appointments with specialists etc, of course she still enjoys doing things that other teenagers would do. Audrey lives in Melbourne, Australia with her mot...
Enzo's pov: Luca is quite the emotional wreck after seeing Audrey's self harm scars, at first I was worried if that could cause him to relapse but it'd been so long I knew it would take more than that. The others were visibly upset when they found out but Luca seemed to be hit hardest. But of course it makes sense, he'd been in her position in the past. Me, Aldo and dad had decided that I would go talk to Audrey seeing as she probably was most comfortable talking to me, and we didn't want to cause Luca to relapse. But I still felt uneasy about how she would react.
Tbh Enzo is like mama bear, i love him so muchh. Someone buy me an Enzo off Amazon xoxo.
Audrey's pov: "Bambina? Wake up please." I heard Enzo whisper in my ear. I groaned and rolled over, seriously I'm sleeping rn- as much as I love Enzo I love my sleep more. "Audrey, I need to talk to you." I sat up and rubbed my eyes, what did he need to talk to me about? "What is it Enzo, you interrupted my nap." I muttered. He chuckled "Sorry bambina." I fiddled with the hair band around my wrist when Enzo lifted my chin up and asked "principessa can you be honest with me?" I looked him dead in the eye and mumbled "I guess, why?" His eyes darkened "Luca saw scars on your thighs..Can you tell me what they're from?"
"Um, they're old scars you don't need to worry." I replied quickly. He raised an eyebrow at me, "Audrey..I think we both know what they're from." I felt tears prick my eyes. He noticed my glistening eyes and his face softened, "I'm sorry, I just didn't know how to cope with things-" I mumbled. "Bambina, you don't need to apologise for anything okay? But can you tell me what you were struggling to cope with?" He asked. "Uh well, school..and home." I said. Enzo looked confused for a moment and asked "home?" I nodded. Here goes nothing- "Micheal (my stepfather) would get drunk and yell at me.." I mumbled. "Did he ever hit you?" Enzo asked, he looked like he was about to punch a hole in the wall. "Sometimes." I said whilst fiddling with hair band around my wrist. Enzo muttered a string of Italian curse words.
He wrapped his arms around me. "Principessa, I love you more than anything. Please don't ever feel like you can't talk to me?" I smiled softly at him, it felt nice to be held in someone's arms for once. "I think dinner is ready, are you hungry?" He asked. I nodded and followed him to the dining room, everyone was already deep in conversation or eating. I sat down next to Luca and started eating. My blood sugar levels had settled thankfully, Luca was staring at his plate. "We are going out to dinner with some family tomorrow night." Dad announced, "the whole family?" Gio asked. "I'm pretty sure, Zio Antonio and Zia Giulia are bringing poca Ilaria." He stated. "They can't wait to meet you stellina." Aldo said looking at me, I haven't heard him talk much yet. Although he still had his cold expression I think it was progress?
Bambina - baby Principessa - princess Poca - little Stellina - little star
Trigger warning for self harm.
Still Audrey's pov: After dinner I went to my room and changed into my pjs, I couldn't be bothered with showering. I could always shower tomorrow morning, I was now curled up in my bed reading. Then, I heard the door creak open I looked up and saw Luca standing there.
"Can I come in?" He asked. I nodded and he made his way over to my bed and sat down next to me. "Are you okay? You seemed lost in thought at dinner." I questioned. "I'm fine Audrey, I just was worried about you." He sighed. I put my book down and yawned. "Luca, you don't need to be worried about me." I insisted. "You're my sorellina, of course I'm going to worry about you." He mumbled, "will you stay with me tonight?" I asked him. "If you want." Luca replied. I got up and turned off the light, and left the door slightly open allowing the hallway light to creep in.
I crawled under the covers next to Luca, his arms wrapped around me. Then, I saw a glimpse of his wrists and they had lines on them. Just like mine.. I traced my finger along them, "I'm a year clean, it's okay Addi." He murmured softly. "Addi?" I asked. "It was an old nickname for you when you when we were little." Luca chuckled. "I love you Luca.." I mumbled, "I love you too Addi." Luca whispered.
sorellina- little sister/sister
I threw a dress at Luca, he was supposed to be helping me to decide what to wear tonight but he wasn't doing a very good job. This boy has no fashion sense. I sighed and sat on the floor of my walk in closet, "you could just wear your pjs if it's that difficult." He muttered. I shoot him an offended look "seriously?" I whined.
Then Alessandro and Gio walked in, "holy shit- it looks like a tornado went through here." Alessandro exclaimed. I rolled my eyes at him. "Where's Vincenzo?" Luca asked. "I dunno, probably fucking some chick." Gio muttered. I rather not hear about my brother's sex life if I'm being honest, so I went back into the bathroom and tried on a outfit. I needed something slightly baggy so it wouldn't show my pump. I can't disconnect it for more than ninety minutes, plus if I disconnected it I wouldn't be able to eat and would risk having a dangerous high or low in my levels. I pulled the sweater over my head and walked out to show them. "Well what do you think? I desperately need your opinions." I begged. "You look beautiful sorellina." Alessandro exclaimed. Luca and Gio nodded in agreement, "does that mean you've finally decided on what to wear?" Luca asked. I rolled my eyes at him "yes Luca I have." I muttered.
Audrey's outfit.

After they left my room to go get changed as well I decided to tidy my closet as it was quite the mess. Suddenly I got a notification, it was text from a different unknown number. The last time they texted me I blocked them and they left me alone. Thought you could get rid of me this easily?- Unknown. Maybe I should change my number? I blocked them and checked my blood sugar, it was low. I sighed, but it's nothing new I guess. I walked out into the kitchen and grabbed a packet of gummy bears from the walk in pantry, I ripped it open and bit off the head of a red one, they're the best in my opinion. Hopefully this would bring my levels up a bit.
Enzo walked in looking up from his phone, "are you feeling okay bambina?" Enzo asked when he saw me frowning at the numbers still not going up on my phone screen. "Yeah, my levels are just a bit low." I shrugged. He put his hand against my forehand "you are a bit warm, are you still okay with going out tonight?" He asked. "I'll be fine." I assured him. "Okay, but if you feel unwell let me know." He breathed. I put the gummy bears in my handbag just incase and turned off my phone. "Oh, Enzo how do you know about all this?" I asked. He chuckled "I'm in medical school bambina." I nodded and started searching for my missing sock. "Sali in macchina per favore! Dad yelled out. I heard a rumble of footsteps come down the stairs, I followed them outside to the car and was squished in between Luca and Gio in the back.
sali in macchina per favore!- get in the car please!
