Their Little Princess

Trying out this new thing called trust

Arrianna's POV

        Yesterday Axel helped me out a lot, he held me through my migrane and even rubbed my tempels. I've never had someone care for me like that before and it felt nice. I felt cared for and loved, I think I even felt happy. I can't help but smile thinking about waking up this morning to Axel still holding me. I didn't freak out or start to hyperventilate, but I felt calm and at peace. I was sad when he said it was time for us to get up for breakfast and he had to go, but he promised to come back and get me after he finished getting ready. I'm in the bathroom cleaning my wounds on my ribs and feet, while I wait for him to come back. I read a book once and it was all about different diseases and infections and also what causes them, one of the main ways wounds are infected is improper cleaining. That being said I always make sure to properly clean and dressmy wounds. I can't risk getting sick, espeasily with me being here. I don't know if they'll hurt me or not yet, and I don't want them to call me a bad girl for getting sick like mister used to. 

      I quickly clean the biting a towle in a effort to not scream out and get in trouble. After making sure they're all clean I wrap them in a clean bandage and then take two pain killers before Axle comes back to get me. I walk out the bathroom and pull on Ace's hoodie like how warm and soft it is. I sit on the bed wanting to relax a bit before Axle comes to get me. I don't wait long before there's a soft knock at my door.  

      "Come in!" I call hopping off the bed suddenly super excited.

I crash to the floor as soon as I land though because of the pain. I bite my lip letting two tears fall as I scamble back to my feet this time trying to be as carful as possible. I carfully walk up to the door and open it. Axle smiles down warmly at me before gently reaching out for my hand, I look wearily at his hand before slowly slipping my hand into his. He gives my hand a little sqeeze before pulling me out the door and towards the step so we can go downstairs. We begin our way downstairs but I'm limping because of my feet and it's taking me a long time.  Axle looked worried when we finally made it down stairs and was mumbling something about taking me to a doctor. I don't really mind though from what I read the doctor seems really cool, and fun. The only thing I would not like about it is the needles. I. HATE. NEEDELS. 

     Once we made it downstairs everyone was already down there sitting in their seats and talking. I really hope I didn't make the wait to long. I look at everyone at the table and Ace catches my eye. He smiles and waves me over patting the seat between him and Axle. Happily I make my way over there only slightly nervous. When I reach the chair I attemp to climb into it but I'm wayyyy to short so Ace just lifts me up and puts me in the seat. Then the next problem was that I was to small for the table and I couldn't even see the top of it. I pout a little at the fact that they're so big but flinch when Ace lifts me up again. 

    "Would you mind sitting on my lap so you can actually see over the table?" Ace asks gently placing me on his lap. 

     Gently I shake my head and lean back into him sighing contently.  As soon as dad starts putting food on his plate everyone else strats to follow suit. Ace fills a huge plate for himself and then a smaller plate for me. He puts some eggs, bacon, toast, and fruit on my plate, before setting it in front of me. Still worried about being punished I look up at him with wide eyes silently asking for promission. He beams at me and picks up my fork feeding me the first bite. I hum in delight as I allow the flavors to marinate in mouth. I hear Ace chuckle before he feeds me the next bite. This pattern continues until I feel stuffed and can't eat another bite. 

   "All done?" Ace asks looking done at me and putting my fork down as well to finish the rest of his meal. 

   I nod leaning into him feeling what I could describe as safe. He eats really fast as do the rest of the boys while I sit on Aces lap trying to wrap my head around the whole situation. I'm still finding it hard to belive that everything I've been told up till now was a lie. Madam and sir and Lucas aren't even remotly related to me and I have brother, and a father! I get to eat everyday so far and it's not moldy bread. I still don't know if this is all just a ploy to get me to trust them and then break it but I can still hope. 

      "Arianna, sweetheart," A soft voice call, "are you alright? You zoned out for a second there," Dad says pulling me out of my trance. 

     I look up and see all my brothers looking at me with looks of concern. I feel my cheeks heat up with all the attention on me and turn to face Ace a bit more (I really like Ace).  I hear Ace chuckle and wrap an arm around me holding me against him. 

   "I'm sorry, I was just thinking," I whisper not turning to face them.

    "That's fine sweetheat, let me know if you want to talk about anything, ok?" Dad asks warmly.

    I nod glancing in his direction, still wrapped in Ace's arms.

    "So sweetheart your brothers and i would love to take you shopping for clothes and toys today, would you like that?" Dad asks once again still smiling. 

    Fear grips my heart as I realize that I don't understand what he's talking about. I've heard of shopping and toys before but I don't fully understand what it is. I don't want to say yes and end up agreeing to something that's going to hurt me, but I also don't want to say no a risk punishment. I feel my breathing speed up as I debate my choises. I know all to well that if I chose wrongly then it could lead to unimaginable pain and punishment. They've already done so much for me, they'll think I'm a greedy girl if I take anything else from them. What if they use this against me in the future to make me do something for them. I can't make these people mad, they'll kill me.  

    "Hey, hey, hey, it's ok babygirl, it's ok," Ace whispers speaking softly. "Nobody will force you to do anything. The mall is really fun, we can get you some toys to play with and new warm clothes to wear that'll look really cute on you," Ace says slowly rubbing my back and speaking softly. 

   "Will you go?" I ask timidly.

    "Of corse I will, we can get carts to ride around in or someone can carry you so you won't hurt your little feet," He says smiling softly. 

   I take a deep breath a decide to try otu trust Ace. He hasn't hurt me yet and I really want to still be able to sit on his lap so maybe I can try trusting him. I don't know if he has some other motive but I've already been hurt this bad I don't think there many other things anybody could do to me. I take a deep breath to keep from panicing and nod slowly my heart beating fast than a lighting strike. 

I know it's been wayyyyy to long since I've updated but I'll try and do better. I'm amining to be more consistant but I can't commit to a schedule right now so please bare with me. Anywayyyyy thank you so much for the love I really appreciate it.
