Victoria's pov:
I haven't talked to anyone the rest of the day. No one came to me and I didn't go to anyone. After giving it a lot of thought I decided to keep my distance. My heart still hurt because part of me hoped someone would come.I don't want to rip the family apart just by being involved. I mean that this one guy, whose name I still don't know by the way, hates me and because of that the family is breaking apart.
I don't know if they ever were close.
Right, there's still the possibility that they never were a close and happy family to begin with so I wouldn't break it if I'm involved. I should just patiently wait and watch for a while.
I get out of bed and walk into the bathroom. I take a long shower, the warmth of the water not warming my heart. I miss my friends. I miss Luca, Antonio and Anastasia. With the thought of asking for a new phone I change into comfortable joggers and a shirt. Just as I was about to open my door a knock sounded.
I wait for a second and open the door then. It would've been really strange if I opened it right after the knock, wouldn't it? Whoever is behind the door would've been startled. As if I only waited for someone to knock.
After opening the door the only thing I see is a bouquet of flowers. I hear a grunt that sounds like 'can I come in?' and answer of course. I can't assign the voice to anyone. Probably because I haven't talked to anyone in this mansion much.
The person enters the door and puts the bouquet of flowers down and when I see Lorenzo standing I gasp.
His handsome face is swollen and he has a black eye. He also has a few scratches on his face. Without thinking I run up to him and cup his face with my hands.
A reflex I guess because of all the times Tonio got into a fight and I took care of his wounds.
When my hands touch his cheeks he tenses but let's me be.
"What happened?" I ask him while I push him down on my bed. I walk into my bathroom and get the first aid kit I saw earlier.
I walk back to him and start to clean his wounds. Still waiting for an answer. When I'm sure he won't answer me at all he surprises me by talking to me.
"I got teached a lesson." Is the only thing he says. I don't really get what this means but somehow I have the feeling that there is more to it.
"Is that why you came to me with flowers?" I ask him instead.
He looks everywhere in my room except at me. When his eyes find something he pushes me away and walks up to my desk. He looks at the picture I put up. The one where I'm standing between Tia and Tonio on my birthday. It was one of the best birthdays ever, it was the only time I ever skipped school and we went to the museum instead. I smile while looking at it for a while until Lorenzo throws the picture against the wall. The picture frame breaks and he takes the fotografie in his hands and rips it.
No no no no no no
"No!" I scream and snatch the scraps from him. "Why would you do that?" I try to scream at him but the shake in my voice shows how hurt I really was.
This was the only picture I printed from us. The only one I kept around me because Stefan would throw them away whenever he found them. Without my phone this was the only thing I had of them.
Without listening to his answer I run out. I can't look at him right know. Not when he just broke one of my most precious memories. Not when he did that while I tried to treat him, while I was worried about him.
I need to get out of here. I get lost for a moment but after a while I manage to find the front door. I hear a 'Victoria' from behind me but I don't care if it was Lorenzo or any other brother or my father, I just run out. I run along the street until I reach a gate. A gate where guards stand around and when they see me they have panicked expressions on their faces.
"Miss, did something happen?" One of them says while walking up to me.
"I-I need to-to get out. Now." I try to sound sternly but I need to catch my breath somehow.
They share a look but I don't know if they did anything else because tears start streaming down my face.
"We can't let you go out like this. Something could happen." The one farthest away from me says monotone.
What now?
"VICTORIA!" I flinch by the scream of my name. I turn around and see an angry Luciano running up to me with Valentino and Allesio behind him.
When they realise I'm crying and only start sobbing more the closer they get they stop. Everything is blurry but I think their expressions look pained.
"I- I need a phone.." I whisper but I guess they heard me because someone puts a phone in my hand.
I don't know the number of Tia or Tonio.
"I-Is it p-possible to get the data from my broken phone?" I ask no one in particular.
"That should be possible, let's try it right now, alright?" I think that was Valentino. I just nod as an answer and start walking back to the house. They walk next to me but don't say anything else. Valentino manages to get the data from my phone onto a new one.
They explained that Luciano went to buy me one early in the morning so I could save all the important numbers. I don't really care about this right now. I take the phone and dial Tonio for a face-time call.
He must've picked up right after the ringing began because I already can see his face.
"Why didn't you call yeste- Are you crying? Why the fuck are you crying? Does this new family treat you badly? ANASTASIA WE'RE GOING TO PICK HER UP RIGHT NOW!" He screams the last part looking behind the camera.
"N-no, Tonio. I- The picture- It ripped." I say loud enough to get his attention back.
Everyone is listening.
I was in such a hurry I'm still in the same room as my brothers.
