11.

Soren and I hung out in his bedroom for the rest of the evening. Then when dinner came he made sure we were the first ones there so he could introduce me to the people I haven't met yet.

"Okay come along now...auntie!"

Ren hugged the lady.

"Hello Ren, Victoria."

She hugged him back and gave me a smile.

"Tori this is our aunt Scarlett, and her husband Beck."

I smiled at the two. Beck looks a lot like dad. They probably were mistaken as twins when they were younger. Then all our brothers walked in, who I know. Javan, Zane, Everett, Luca, Ren, Scout, and Maliki. Then Levi and Mateo.

"And our youngest family member, Kit!"

"Hi!"

Kit greeted me with a sweet, innocent smile. I smiled back at him. He's obviously never seen someone die or abused. Ren and I took our seats when all the food came out. We all ate in silence for the most part, Javan and a few of the brothers started talking in Italian about me going to school. I internally groaned. All of the sudden Javan spoke up in English.

"Victoria I'd-"

Zane nudged Javan's arm.

"Zane and I would like to talk to you in private...please."

Javan added the please after I saw Ren send him a glare. I nodded okay to him. I think I'll be fine if Zane's there. I mean he isn't horrible, but he got mad because all I wanted was PB and J. Once Javan and Zane both stood and started to walk away, I stood and followed them. Instead of going into Javan's office this time, we went to Zane's. Javan and Zane sat on a couch. I stood there awkwardly.

"Victoria, come and sit."

Zane told me. I went and sat on the opposite side of the couch as them.

"Tomorrow is Tuesday, which means the triplets, Mateo, and Kit will all be at school. They'd isn't go to school yesterday because they wanted to be home and around you. The rest of us will most likely be working in the warehouses. We've got everything ready for you to start school tomorrow, but if you aren't ready for that we can give you an extra day or two. Also one of us would stay home with you."

Zane explained to me while I sat there completely still and lacking any emotion. I think I'd rather go to school than be in this hell honestly.

"It's your cho-"

"I'll start tomorrow...I need a backpack and the textbooks though..."

"We already have school supplies for you. Mateo, Kit, and our aunt Scarlett went our shopping earlier."

I gave Javan a nod. I just want to go and lay in that bed. It's comfortable not going to lie.

"Can I leave now?"

I ask the two of them. They both nod. I walked out and noticed Zane left his office door open. I smile. I hope he did that for me and it's not something he just does when he's in his office. I went to my old bedroom and laid down on the bed and immediately fell asleep.
