The Lost Twins

Chapter eight

Giovanni's pov

My sister has lost her mind, she has truly lost her mind. Ali has never trusted anyone but me before, she always tells me that she'd have a bad feeling about a person or a situation and she'd turn out to be right. Ali has never trusted a foster family we stayed with or kids at school, I was the only person she ever trusted and relied on. Now, she wants to trust these supposed brothers of ours and I think she's being stupid. It makes me so mad to think that now she wants to trust someone other than me. I'm her brother not these idiots claiming to be our brothers and she wants to trust them with no proof that they won't hurt us like all the others before them. I don't care what she says, until we have proof that they're our brothers and won't hurt us, I won't trust them. Ali will see that I'm doing this to protect her and that everything I've ever done has been to protect her. 

I don't know if Ali knows how much she means to me, she's not just my sister, she's my twin. Ali is my best friend and I'd do anything for her. When we were little, our Mom told us how Ali had been sick when we were born. Ali was anemic when we were born and she had to be in the nicu for a while. Our Mom said that I cried when they took Ali away from me and I cried when she left the hospital without Ali, apparently, I cried when I was home without Ali. The only time I didn't cry, was when Mom took me to the hospital and they let me be with Ali. When we were older, I did anything I could to be with Ali at all times. I remember when we were four, Mom tried to put Ali in her own room and that night, I snuck into her room and fell asleep there. 

I've always been protective of Ali, ever since we were little. The amount of times I told people off or fought someone because they were hurting Ali is a lot. I remember getting in trouble so many times because someone dared to bully my sister, they needed to know what happens when you mess with my sister. I doubt these "brothers" could ever be as protective of Ali as I am. I will not allow anyone to harm my little sister.

"You look like you're lost in your thoughts," Pietro said,

"What of it?" I asked,

"I don't appreciate your tone, Giovanni, I was simply asking what's on your mind," Pietro said,

"Well, let me tell you something, Pietro. You say you're our brother and that we can trust you but I don't buy it. Alessandra may trust you and believe that you mean us no harm, but I don't. I don't trust you or any of your brothers and I never will until there's proof you're related to us. But, even then, I may never trust you," I said,

"You'll trust us soon," Pietro said,

"No, I never will so stop trying," I said,

"We'll get a DNA test if you don't believe me," Pietro said,

"Doesn't mean you won't hurt us," I said, 

"Why would we hurt you?" Pietro asked,

"I don't know, you seem like you would," I said,

"You're my brother, I would never hurt you," Pietro said, 

"See, you say that, but how can I be sure. How can I be sure that you won't hurt me? How can I be sure you won't hurt Alessandra?" I demanded,

"Like I said, you're my brother and Alessandra's my sister. I could never hurt my own siblings and you can guarantee that if anyone ever hurts either of you, they'll have to answer to me," Pietro said, 

"I don't believe words. All words are, are just words, they mean nothing without action," I said,

"Okay, I'll put words into action and I'll proof to you that you're safe here. You can trust us. You can trust me," Pietro said, 

"Whatever," I said and walked out of the kitchen.

As I walked out of the kitchen, Ali was waiting for me on the stairs and she looked mad.
