It was the next morning and I decided it would be best to get up and started getting ready for the day. I changed into some black leggings and a red sweatshirt and threw my hair into a messy bun.

Val's outfit<3
I made my way downstairs and sat down with the others in the dining room not bothering to talk to anyone or make any eye contact. I poured a glass of water for myself and put a few berries on my plate as I wasn't really planning on eating that much.
"Oh good morning to you to" Domenico grumbles as he give me a death stare.
"Is that all your eating Valentina?" Alexander asks while taking a bite of his sandwich.
I chose to ignore him and once he realized he wasn't going to get an answer from me Ivanov started talking.
"Valentina, Your brother just asked you a question!" he says raising his voice.
I look at him and finally decide to respond. "Yeah I'm not that Hungary"
"You hardly ate dinner last night, if you don't eat you'll get sick" Antonio says
"Its fine, its not like any of you guys would care anyways" I grumble as everyone's eyes are now on me with angry and shocked expressions.
"Valentina don't your dare talk like that" Ivanov Yells as he stands up slamming him hand on the table making the table shake and his cup of coffee falling to the ground.
"Whatever" I mutter hoping he didn't hear me. I mean not that I cared but still I don't want a beating.
Ivanov made his way over to me. "Come to my office I need to talk to you" he says and then walks of motioning me to follow him behind. I do as he says while rolling my eyes. He enters a room that's an office, i guess its his office. he waves his hand to the empty chair in front of his desk while taking a seat on the other side in his chair but I take a seat on the couch instead which Clearly makes him annoyed.
"Valentina I brought you here because I want to talk about a few things". he says as he waits for my answer.
I look at him with a board look and he takes that as his cue to continue.
"first I just want to let you know that we care about you even if we've just met you. second I understand that this is all a big change for you and that you need time and space to get used to your new life living with us. And lastly I don't want you talking back to any of your brothers for no reason, if they ask you a question I expect you to reply positively." he says as he tries to read my face looking for any slight expression.
"I expect you to respect your brothers. Respect goes both ways so it would also apply on them as well" he explains his his usual cold tone.
"Okay" I say as I'm not really interested in this conversation.
Even though he said it will take time for me to adjust to this new life it will only create more problems for me. I just want to be left alone.
"I just want to be left alone and not bothered by anyone at this point" I mutter but he heard me. He gets up and walks over to me, he kneels down and takes my hand in his and says "If that's what you want then sure but if you ever need someone to talk to or anything were here for you, okay?" he stands up and then I make my way out off his office and into my room.
After a few hours of listening to music and drawing I finished only because I was getting a bit bored. I made my way downstairs to the kitchen and got myself a glass of water, I got startled by a voice behind me but lucky played it off as I turned around to see Stefano standing by the counter.
"What are you doing here?" Stefano asked as he took off his jacket and put it on the chair.
"Just came to get water" I reply with a quite voice not want to talk to anyone.
"Okay, do you want to eat something? Me and the others are gonna order food for lunch" he asked as he walked past me getting a can of coke for himself.
"No, I'm fine." I say looking at him as I rinse my glass and make my way out of the kitchen not bothering to look at him again.
I lay on my bed letting myself get lost in my own thoughts while closing my eyes. My eyes start feeling heavy as I fall asleep drowning in my own thoughts.
