The Bianchi's Missing Piece

Chapter 14

Aria's POV:

We're currently on our way to this carnival thing, I have no clue what a carnival is, but Caleb said there are rides and games and food. He also said that there are a lot of people, so basically it sounds like hell.

Im sitting in between Caleb and Axel in the very backseat while the other guys besides Ace are sitting comfortably in the front and middle seats. Ace decided to take his own car, something about meeting up with friends and wanting to be able to leave or stay longer without us getting in the way.

As we pull into a very and I mean very busy and crowded parking lot, we manage to find a spot, even though it's in the very back.

"Ok everyone make sure to have your phones on you at all times, and keep an eye on Aria. Which means, Aria, make sure you stick with at least one of your brothers at all times. Understand?" Lorenzo says as we all step out the car.

"Yes" I say overwhelmed with how many people I'm already seeing.

"Good, let's get a move on." Elijah says in a cheery tone.

As we take a long walk to where we wanna go Caleb is telling me about his favorite ride, apparently your in a cage that spins while the ride itself is spinning. Sounds miserable to me. Luckily I was smart and made sure to puke up all the food I've eaten today before coming. It's starting to become a habit, I eat food which makes my brothers happy even tho it makes me sick, then I throw it up which makes me feel better and doesn't make me any fatter than I already am.

"Oooooo Aria let's go play ring toss! I'm amazing at it!" Caleb says excitedly grabbing my hand and yanking me that way.

Caleb showed me how to play the game and of course ended up winning. I didn't even get one while he got 10. Yes, he got 10/10 and I got 0/10.

That's how our whole night was spent, between riding a few mini rides and playing games. We are all currently in line for the Zipper (the ride I was talking about earlier that is Caleb's favorite ride). Well, technically only Caleb and I are in line, but the others are waiting with us to be nice.

We've already been waiting in line for 30 minutes when I look to my right and see Ace for the first time all night. He's with a group of guys who all have cigarettes in their mouth. Yuck

As I keep watching them, Ace turns my way and we make eye contact. However it's only for a short period of time before he quickly looks away acting like he didn't even see me.

I don't blame him, I'd be embarrassed to be seen with myself in public too.

Soon it's Caleb's and I's turn and we go to get in the purple cage. "Have fun!" I hear Elijah yell to us.

I try to take deep breaths as my heart rate is already increasing and a pit in my gut forms.

The ride starts to move and by now I have zero out most of the sound.

Deep breaths
In
Out
In
Out
Repeat 20X

"You okay Aria?" Caleb asks frantically

I hadn't notice before, but I just now realize that there is a warm liquid pooling from my eyes as my rapid breathing and shaking body start to make me nauseous. The ride hasn't even fully gotten going yet and I'm already a mess.

"N-no" I say sobbing

"It's okay, it's not too scary, it's fun!" Caleb poorly tried to cheer me up. But I feel confined, like I'm back at Johns house. The feeling of being cramped and the familiar feeling of being suffocated.

The ride starts to move faster as everyone has now gotten into their seats. We start going backwards as our cage is spinning upside down in a repetitive circle.

"I-I d-don't like t-t-this" I sob feeling vile rise in my throat.

"PLE-EASE GET ME OUT OF HERE" I full on bloody murder scream.

Flashback ~
I see my mothers eyes slowly shut as the needle drops to the ground, her body falls limp
Flashback~
"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT YOU FUCKING FAT ASS!" John screams at me
Flashback~
I open my eyes to find my wrists and legs are tied down to the table. John slowly walks in from the dark with a menacing grin on his face.
Flashback~
I'm struggling to breath as a cloth is covering my nose and mouth as water pours down onto me. It's one of Johns favorite things to do. I squirm and struggle against the chains, hating the feeling of being contained.
Back to reality~

The ride slowly comes to a stop after a long torturous period of time of being spin multiple times at once and being jerked every which way.

As soon as my cage gets opened, I waste no time wobbly running to the nearest clearing I can find.

Nic's POV:

The whole time you can hear the horrific screams of my sweet baby sister. My stomach is in knots as I can hear her screams of terror. I guess now we know how much she hates rides. And yet, the screams seem like something more. I've never heard a more terrified scream. And that's saying something.

As the ride stops and Caleb and Aria's cage gets opened by a worker, Aria strangely stands up and wobbly runs off to the side. It looks as if she is drunk.

Caleb and the rest of us including Ace who was standing aside acting like he doesn't know us, runs to Aria's side.

She bends over and let's a vile amount of vomit out of her system. I go to pull back her hair to keep it from getting gross, but soon regret it when I can still see the hickeys that are left behind from yesterday.

"Shh, it's okay baby, let it all out" I say as she is still sobbing.

I rub soothing circles on her back as she throws up the last little bit in her stomach.

It doesn't take a genius to see how badly shaken up and wrecked Aria is, so without thinking I pick her up and she immediately wraps her legs around my waist.

"Let's go home so you can rest" I say to Aria even though I'm truly saying it to the guys.

Aria's POV:

I feel myself getting laid down onto my cloud like bed and my eyes getting even heavier than they were before in which I didn't think was possible.

Niccolò had carried me to the car and once we got to their house he carried me upstairs to my room.

As Niccolò leaves the room, he mutters a few things I'm not able to hear. But I don't bother asking him again as my tiredness is incomparable.
