Me and Matteo let our guard down just a little and engaged in conversation with a few of our brothers.
We were talking to Francisco, Giovanni and Alonso with the others chiming in from time to time.
We rounded the corner of the food court where everyone started having conversations on what they wanted.
This was fun I guess, Hugo and Salvador were quiet lingering in the back which is what shocked us all when Hugo not only spoke to us but what came out of his mouth.
"Where's Isabella?" we all turned towards him and looked around, suddenly everyone was on high alert.
"Oh plese let her be asleep on a floor safe" just as Matteo said that we heard a blood curling scream that made my blood boil.
Without a second thought we all ran toward the noise only to find my baby sister, sweet, innocent too kind for this world little sister being kicked by some old man who's about to lose his life.
Without a second I ran towards them and caught the hand he was about to hit her with and asked "what the fuck do you think your doing?" he smiled at me showcasing several missing teeth and what was left just yellow before responding "showing this little girl how to respect her elders-" at that point he had let her go making her hit the floor with a thud and hearing a whimper come from her making me wince but hold onto him harder as the others surrounded her.
Suddenly as he was about to say something else my fist connected with his face and I heard a satifing crunch I evilily smirked and let him hit the floor before repeadedly punching him until blood covered his face and my knuckles.
I could feel my knuckles throbbig as well but didn't stop not until I fetl someone pull me up and I tuned back into realality hearing my brother.
Matteo
"Chris, you got him good, but Izzy needs us right now come on" nodding I got up still in a bit of a daze but followed him out to see our baby sister.
The others had already started driving her to the hospital and we were on our way there.
Fuck, please be ok Muffin.
2 hours ago, Izzy was wheeled behind those gray doors and 2 hours later were still sitting here clueless as to what's going on with her.A few have gone outside others have been pacing as me and Matteo have been sitting in the same spot not moving a muscle staring off into space probably both thinking all the ways we could torture the guy for laying his grimy hands on our baby sister.
Suddenly a doctor walked in and everyone walked towards him with us following astute, he sighed before starting "she's ok nothing's broken but her ribs are severely bruised and she has a sprained ancle and a mild concussion" a few gasps and heavy breathing were heard as well as a sob coming from Camilla the doctor continued "we want to keep her here and monitor her overnight to make sure she's okay, and depending on her healing process will determine if you can take her home tomorrow."
"C-can we see her?" Camilla asked the doctor nodded and spoke "just be careful and don't speak to loud" everyone nodded and the doctor left leaving us with the details to her room.
Soon we all entered the room that could fit us all and we all huddled around her as she looked around "how are you feeling princess?" Antoino asked Izzy looked at him and tried nodding before wincing making Mateo walk over to her and speak "you have a mild concussion try not to move your head much, ok?" Izzy smiled at him before looking at the water bottle beside the bed.
Camilla handed it to her, and she gulped down half the bottle before putting it down next to her and closing her eyes and taking a deep breath before we all saw a tear run down her face followed be many others making me walk closer to her and wipe them away knowing she's about to start blaming herself.
"Izzy this isn't your fault-" I start but she cuts me off "isn't it? If I wasn't such an air head and stayed with you guys none of this wouldn't be happening, you wouldn't be hurt!" she started pointing at Chris's knuckles.
She-she's worried about me and not the fact that she's the one sitting in the hospital bed?
This girl I tell you
"Izzy, he had no right to put his hands on you and don't call yourself an air head, ok?" she nods and sniffles before clinging onto me.
Everyone's eating while Matteo is sitting with Izzy on the bed feeding her when we hear a phone ring.
Antonio gets up and walks out of the room answering. After a few more minutes Izzy says she's not hungry anymore and Matteo nods putting the rest of the food down.
Antonio walks back in the hospital room and looks at the three of us with a sympathetic smile before speaking "I just got off the phone with my father, your grandfather, I tried to hold them off as long as I could" we all give him a confused look before he continues "there all coming in 3-4 days, they all wanna meet you."
I nod as Matteo speaks "how many?" "Total 19 cousins 6 uncles 3 aunts 2 grandparents" Izzy's mouth is agape as me and Matteo look at him with an 'are you serious look' as everyone else chuckles.
"I know it's a lot but they haven't seen you all in years and we all missed you" Camilla says and we all nod when there's another knock on the door and the doctor peaks his head in.
He smiles at us "we've looked over your injuries and there healing very well you can go home now, and we will prescribe you some pain killers and such" we all nodded, and the doctor spoke again "Mr. and Mrs. De'Luca can I speak with you outside?" Camilla and Antonio nodded and stood up following the doctor as I turned my attention back to my baby sister who seemed to be growing sleepier by the minute.
Soon Izzy was out into a dreamless sleep.
Third Person POV
As all the brothers were watching their baby sister sleep too afraid to take their eyes off her feeling that if they did, she would disappear whilst Camilla and Antonio were getting troubling news about their daughter.
