The Lost Twins

Chapter eleven

Giovanni's pov

So, my life has turned upside down. Ali, my sister, my twin sister, my best friend, my other half didn't come to me when she had a panic attack. Ali actually let Luka calm her down and not me. I don't know how she let this happen or why. Until now, I was the only one she trusted, the only one who calmed her down, the only one who understood her without words and now, she's trusting these "brothers". I'm still not sure they're even our brothers because we've never heard of them before now. If they are our brothers, then where have they been all these years? Why did they abandon us? They will never be my family!

"Gio, you okay?" Ali asked, 

"I'm perfect," I growled,

"No, you're not," Ali said, 

"If you knew that, why are you asking?" I asked,

"I was hoping you'd talk to me," Ali said, 

"Quit acting like I'm ignoring you," I said, 

"But, you are. You haven't spoken to me since yesterday afternoon," Ali said, 

"I just haven't had anything to say," I mumbled,

"Okay, so talk. What's this about?" Ali asked, 

"Nothing," I said, 

"It's not nothing so quit beating around the bush," Ali said, 

"You wanna know? You really wanna know? Fine! I can't believe that you're talking to these so-called brothers and you're trusting them! What happened to you and me against the world? What happened to you only trusting me? How could you trust them?!?" I shouted,

"Don't you ever get tired of you and me against the world? Do you ever get tired of being on our own and figuring out our problems, on our own?!? Well, I do! I don't want to be on our own anymore! We have a family, why can't you see how good this is for us?" Ali yelled back,

"You know why I don't trust anyone! We've NEVER been able to trust anyone! They ALWAYS LET US DOWN! I don't know how you can trust these guys we DON'T EVEN KNOW!" I shouted,

"BECAUSE! I have a good feeling about them and you've always trusted me when I have a feeling about someone or something, until now," Ali said.

I couldn't hear anymore of this so I stormed out of her room. I was so angry, I didn't even notice where I was going until I bumped into someone on the stairs. I looked up and Pietro was standing there, looking at me. His expression was unreadable, he looked angry and concerned at the same time. I was mentally preparing myself for the worst when he broke the silence.

"Giovanni, I know you don't trust us or believe that we're siblings but I have something that may ease your worries," Pietro said, 

"What's that?" I asked, 

"I have the DNA results that were sent to me from the social worker that was handling your case. You could read it if you want," Pietro said, 

"Maybe," I said, 

"If you looked at the results, you might realize that your worries, while completely justified, are false," Pietro said as he handed me an envelope.

I took it from him and basically ran from him. I didn't need him to watch me while I looked at these results. I took the envelope to the back yard. I sat in a deck chair and opened the envelope. I pulled the papers out and it showed the DNA matches that Ali and I had. I saw our parents names under our parents names I saw all of our brothers names. Pietro Alfonso Moretti, Matteo Francesco Moretti, Sebastiano Donatello Moretti, Lorenzo Nico Moretti, Luka Rafael Moretti, Emilio Marco Moretti, and Antonio Romeo Moretti. So, they actually are our brothers. Unless, this is a trick. These could be fake and they're using these fake results to trick me into trusting them. How do I know these are real? I need to talk to our social worker. I went back inside and found Pietro in his office. I asked if I could call our social worker and he let me use the phone in his office.
