Loathsome Brothers

Back to Normal

Eleanora's Pov

Throughout the night I kept waiting, wondering where Gio and Sandro could have been. They didn't come to sleep the whole night. Even when I dozed off at some point and woke up by another nightmare, they weren't there.

I didn't go downstairs to check up on them. I didn't want to meet them. Especially after what happened yesterday, how the twins and I overreacted. I should have kept my calm.

I don't know what they might be thinking of me now. I haven't behaved like this before and it would only add to the twins accusations of me being a brat.

I wonder if me calling them out for telling Liam brought any suspicion on him. Did they understand that Liam did something? Did they for once think it through? Would they have questioned him about it? Did they even care enough to find out the truth?

I think I have had enough. It now 8 am that I finally decide to head downstairs. I can't stay in my room whole day dreading what's bound to happen.

To my surprise each one of my brother is sitting in the living room looking more deadly as ever. Some strange aura surrounds them almost like the Mafia men I always knew them to be.

They all look like they've just got out of the shower, Sandro's wearing one to twins clothes while Gio's wearing Aaron's as they are the same size. They didn't even come to our room to take their clothes. Why are they so avoiding me?

They all looked like they haven't slept the whole night. What have they been doing? Discussing what I did and how much of a discomfort I am for them?

I was about to move to the kitchen when I noticed Xander. He had a bandage around his nose and their was a faint red line of cut on his cheek. I gasped and my legs moved on their own accord until I was standing right in front of him.

"Oh my God Xander! What happened?" I asked worriedly.

I brought my hand forward to take hold to his own but suddenly stopped knowing full well that he wouldn't want any gesture or words of comfort from me.

He looked at my hand halted in midair and before I could bring it back towards me, Xander brought his hand forward and grabbed mine, holding it softly.

I don't know what's more shocking here, him not shouting at me for wanting to hold his hand or him holding my hand by his own choice. Definitely the latter because it's totally unlike him.

"He slipped" Gio answered before Xander had a chance to.

"Are you ok?" I asked thinking how painful it might be.

"Ya I'm ok. Don't worry Nora" Xander replied and his voice was surprisingly polite.

Why is he behaving so weirdly. Is it because I snapped at him and Xavier yesterday? Did I put the Bianchi twins in their place? I guess that explains the guilt in his eyes because he knows that yelling at me wasn't right.

Xander didn't seem to want to let go of my hand anytime soon. For a few seconds I just stood their doing absolutely nothing and having no idea what to do.

"I'll go make breakfast" I said and gently removed my hand making my way towards the kitchen.

Everyone was behaving so strange today that no one even greeted me. The whole time I was cooking I could feel multiple eyes on me but I didn't look in their direction. Maybe they are watching to see if I would create a scene again?

I opened the drawer to take out a knife to cut the loaf of bread I baked yesterday when I noticed that four of the knives were missing.

My brothers don't cook or bake so the only person who uses most of the kitchen items is me. And I clearly remember seeing the knives last night.
