Waking up I look at my alarm clock on my nightstand to see it's 4:00 in the morning. I get up grabbing my phone and a book from one of my bookshelves and open my new balcony looking up at the dark night sky before settling on the couch to my right reading my book.
Normally when I would have a nightmare, I go to either Chris or Matteo, but they don't know that the nightmares were getting worst all they know is that when I have them, I got to them, and normally I would but lately I've been a burden and I don't want them always worrying about me.
They should be able to live their life without having to worry about their little sister.
I look away from my book and look at the sky to see the sunrise, beautiful displays of red, orange and yellow with a few pink tones played across the sky. Looking at my phone I see that it's 6:00 AM so I get up heading back into my room.
Sighing I get up and take a cold shower to wipe all of the anxiety from my nightmare off and get out ready to start a new day happy and carefree.
I step out of the shower and into a cute burnt orange crop top with white jeans.
Walking down the stairs with a smile on my face I make a B line to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone.
I get out everything I need and start cooking.
...
Just finishing up the bacon I start hearing footsteps come down the stairs and towards me, looking away from the stove I see Alonso come down with a smile on his face when he sees me making me giggle.
"What!?" I ask "what are you doing up?" "I wanted to do something nice for everyone" I respond, if it's possible his smile got bigger and he came over to me kissing my forehead and grabbing a piece of bacon before running upstairs yelling something about 'getting dressed' making me giggle again.
Not long later Matteo and Chris came down with a few others including Alonso them all wearing denim jeans and a shirt but of course Matteo and Chris wearing all black.
They smile when they see me and kiss my forehead as I put the rest of the food on the dining table.
"What time did you get up?" I turn around to look at Chris "Not long ago" I responded shifting from one leg to another and squirming under their glares, I sighed "I'm ok it wasn't bad."
I lied
They both nodded and kissed my forehead once more before sitting down at the table "next time come to us" Matteo said and I nodded looking away before we heard more footsteps.
We all sat down after everyone thanked me and ate.
Everyone had things to do, I briefly heard something about work and meetings, but I stopped listening and went upstairs to finish my book.
I had started a new one I hadn't had a chance to read called Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen before I heard a knock on my door followed by one of my favorite people in the world walking in.
Matteo smiled at me before he looked at my book and nodded "did you read it?" I asked he nodded his head before speaking "yes it's a good book and everyone wanted to go shopping since we left most of our stuff" I excitedly stood up and basiclly ran into the closet to get my shoes.
I love shopping
The whole way there I couldn't keep in my excitement and kept asking if we were there yet which made the others chuckle at me.
Me Matteo and Chris were in a big black SUV with our mom, Alonso and Francisco as our dad Hugo, Salvador and Giovanni where in the other.
They said that Leonardo and Vincent would meet us there.
Parking in the parking garage we all got out and headed towards the entrance where I saw Vincent and Leonardo, they nodded at us before we all went into the first store.
I saw some people looking at them scared and even some running away.
I wonder what that's about?
We got so many things that they had called people to carry the bags. Most of them had been mine, but I did spot a few hoodies that Chris and Matteo picked out that I would definitely steal later.
As we were walking to the next store I stopped for a minute and started panting with my hands on my knees, I swear if I wasn't so out of shape, I could do this for hours.
I really should work out more
Everyone stopped and looked back at me as I made grabby hands to Chris he chuckled and he bent down letting me get on his back.
Everyone looked at us and smiled before we were walking again.
More like Chris but I did get in 2 and a half hours before I had to stop.
That was a new record.
Finally, we stopped at the food court. I had Chris put me down a while ago so I was walking with everyone when I fell a little behind everyone looking at a cute bag through the window.
Feeling like I was being watched I turned around to see a man walking towards me with my phone.
Reaching my hand behind me I felt my back pocket to see it was missing. He approached me a little too close and handed me my phone. I stepped backed up little and looked down "t-thank y-you" he nodded at me smiling showcasing his yellow teeth. He wasn't very tall but he was taller than me.
He was balding with a few black hairs on his head that I could see were turning gray, his eyes were hooded.
"What's a beautiful young lady like you doing here alone?" not really registering what he was saying I quickly nodded my head and tried walking away from him just wanting to be in the comfort of my brother's arms.
I whimpered as he reached out and held on to me tight he grabbed a hold of my hair "Don't you know it's rude not to answer your elders?" tears started forming in my eyes "I-I-I'm s-sorry" I tried franticlly looking around for anyone but there was nobody here and everyone had alreadly truned the corner so they couldn't see me but maybe they could here me.
I mustered up all my energy and screamed before I felt a raging pain on my cheek and I feel to the floor where he kicked me in my ribs repeatedly saying something about 'respect' I faintly say rapid footsteps and many dark shadows before I blacked out.
