The Bianchi's Missing Piece

Chapter 10

Aria's POV:

As soon as we reach the house and pull in the garage, I open my door, run inside and go straight to my room.

My mind keeps going back and rethinking everything that has happened today. From Ace grabbing me and telling me that no one wants me here, to Racheal bringing up my mom and Oliv- I just can't do this.

I lock my bedroom door and go inside my bathroom. I take two painkillers dry and I look down at my hand that without realizing had a razor ready to be used.

I pull down my pants and sit on the bathroom floor with my back pressed up against the wall. I take the silver sharp edged blade and press it harshly onto my tender skin. I draw a long line and watch as my crimson blood rushes out of the fresh cut.

I feel the overwhelming sense of relief wash over me as I tilt my head back and let out a breathe that I didn't know I had been holding.

I make a few more cuts until I decide I should wash up.

I go back to my room and grab a book to try and call down but it isn't working. I know what I really need at a moment like this.

I grab my phone and tip toe quietly down the stairs. Luckily there's no one in the living room as I hear voices from the kitchen. I sneak past the living and make my way to the door at the end of the hall. The library.

I open the door and rush over to the piano placed in front of me. I take a seat on the bench and feel the calmness I only get from playing the piano and cutting. I run my fingers down the precise black and white keys. I feel a tear drop down my cheek, but don't stop to wipe it away. I know exactly what I want no need to play right now.

The song she played ⬆️

The song Another Love was the first song I've ever learned in the piano. Oliver taught it to me and I can't help but always play it when I feel lonely.

It had been forever since I played the piano, yet the keys under my fingers felt as if I hadn't stopped.

I quickly wipe away the tears that I had fallen. I need to be brave. I rest my head on my propped up elbows and just sit in silence.

What has my life come to? I've already accepted that no one wants me and that I'm nothing, yet I can't help but still want someone who wants me.

*knock knock*

"Come in" I say

"Hey, I thought you might be in here. Dinners ready." Axel says

"Ok" I stand up, grab my phone and walk out the door following Axel to the kitchen.

Once we enter, everyone's eyes go on me and I can't help but hope my eyes aren't too red from crying.

I take a seat in my usual and play with the plastic on my phone case.

"Hey bambina, how're you doing?" Elijah asks from beside me.

"Fine?" I say but more ask. What does he mean how am I doing?

Oh god, hopefully the twins and Caleb didn't tell the rest about what happened at the mall.

I'm definitely in trouble for hitting her, this is where I get a beating as a punishment isn't it. And I bet Ace would be more than happy to do it. Or maybe Rodrigo, he looks like he can do the most damage-
