The Bianchi's Missing Piece

Chapter 6

Recap:
"We're having a movie night with snacks. It'd be nice if you'd join?" Caleb asks with a smile and his eyes filled with hope

"Yeah, sure" I say quietly. Hopefully the others don't mind.

"Great! You can go to your room and put on your pjs then come back down!" He reply's and I give a nod to show I understand

Aria's POV:

With that in mind, I go up stairs to my room. Once again, I'm totally surprised that's it's all mine. I quickly go to my bag, grab my "pjs" and put on my sweatpants and my long sleeved shirt. I then plop some painkillers in my mouth before I go to the bathroom. I bring my razor with, so I can make at least a few new lines to try and relive some anxiety. I bring the shiny blade to my skin on my wrist and feel the blood rush out and the stress leaving a bit. I sigh in content then wash away all the blood and wrap it in a few bandages I had packed. By now, my arms, shoulders, and thighs are littered in cuts and I'm running out of room to make new ones. I then check my thigh so see how it's doing. It hurts like a bitch. When I pull my pants down, I try to not let out a gasp. Oh god, it looks terrible. My skin is dark red with some brown. It looks like my insides rather than a thigh. I quickly put the rest of my ointment on it then bandage it up, hoping it'll heal over time.

Before I leave the bathroom, I sneak a quick glance in the mirror. I look terrible. I have dark circles under my eyes from lack of sleep, and without my two baggy sweatshirts on, I look sickly thin. Even though the shirt I have on is oversized, you can tell how skinny I am, I'm all bones. I pry my eyes away from the mirror with a wash of sadness as I hear a knock at the door. My door opens after I say a quiet come in, and in walks Nic.

"Hey principessa, you ready? Did you want to put on pajamas?"

"Um, I d-don't really have any, so I just wear this to bed." I say feeling self-conscious.

"Oh okay, where's all your bags?" Nic asks referring to only seeing my backpack on my bed and no other bags.

"Oh, uh, that's all." I say. Sorry Nic, but not everyone can be rich like you.

"Okay, well, let's head downstairs." He says with a sad smile.

As we go down the stairs I can see almost all of the boys already there. Lorenzo and Rodrigo are sat on the chairs while the rest besides Ace who isn't here yet are sat on the L-shaped couch.

Once the others see that I've come down, I notice them look me and down, which makes me shift uncomfortably to my other foot. They all exchange looks with each other until Nic goes to sit down on the end on the left, while I start to walk so I can sit down on the end on the right. That is until I'm stopped.

"Aria, come sit." Axel says patting the spot between him and Caleb. Great, I was trying to get the spot where I'd only have to sit next to one of you.

Of course I do as he says and sit down with Axel on my right and Caleb on my left who is sat next to Elijah and Nic.

Just then Ace comes from what looks like the bathroom, complaining about his eyes

"UGHHHH, my eyes won't turn back to normal! They're still so red and watery!" Ace angrily groans while rubbing them.

"We'll that's what you get for getting high" Rodrigo chuckles.
