The Bianchi's Missing Piece

Chapter 33

Ya'll are gonna be getting some Jackson and Aria bonding time! Enjoy ;)

Aria's POV:

I'm currently sitting in my room after Jackson dropped me off. He was concerned and demanded questions out of me, but I don't think he suspected anything that was even remotely close. I finally got him to leave after promising him that I would tell him more information tomorrow. Right before he left, he told me he would be picking me up tomorrow morning and to be ready by 7:30 even though school starts at 8:15.

Luckily for me, I easily used some old concealer to hide the red slap mark as well as my red eyes. When I got into the house, my brothers just told me to go up to my room, they didn't say anything about me being late. 

So here I am, sitting on my bed trying to focus on writing a new song while memories on current events are dancing along the line of my vision, almost making fun of me. I check my phone for the umpteenth time, I see that it is 7 meaning dinner should be ready. 

I go down and into the kitchen and take my seat and sit there until everyone else joins. 

Once the food is placed in front of us by the maids, everyone digs in besides me. I can't even tell memories to reality at this point. Not knowing whether I'll get punished for eating. 

"Aria, would you like to explain to us why you were late today?" Lorenzo demands

"And maybe why Jackson dropped you off?" Ace adds in. "You two have been getting along too good lately. I don't like it" 

"Well, I was told to make friends" I mutter rolling my eyes

"What was that?" Lorenzo grits

"Nothing" I huff

"That's what I thought, and stop rolling your eyes" 

"You know what, no. I was told to make friends. Which means you can't get mad at me for doing exactly what you fucking said" I say, now pissed off

"Watch your language Aria" Rodrigo scolds

"Why?" I raise my voice "Why do I have to watch what I say, even though everyone else in this house says worse stuff than me!? Why does EVERYONE feels like they can walk all over me?!?"

"Aria, how about you go take a breather?" Elijah suggests from besides me. 

"No! I don't need a breather, I need someone to smack some sense into you guys!" 

"Aria, I've had it with your attitude right about now. I am doing my best to control my temper, but I swear to god Aria. Make one more wrong move, or talk back one more time and we will be having a talk in my office" Lorenzo seethes. 

Bet.

"Then let's go to your office Lorenzo, I have done nothing. It is you guys who are being stupid and honestly you don't scare me one bit."

"Oh yeah?" Lorenzo asks with a menace smile

'Yeah"

"Ok, well then I must be mistaken by, since when you first came here I remember you being so afraid of me that you called me sir. I remember how you would flinch whenever I was in a mile radius of you, you would even flinch if there was too much noise. So tell me Aria, that I don't scare you." 

"That was then. This is now. There is absolutely nothing and I mean NOTHING that you could do that wouldn't have already happened to me so give me your worst, because it would be nothing I haven't seen before. And the most extreme possibility is you killing me in which I've already tried and am still trying to do so you'd be doing me a favor. So no Lorenzo, you don't scare me." I yell before getting up and storming away to my room.
