The lost mafia princess

Ch20

NADIA:
It's been a few days since I talked about going to school with Mom and Dad. They said I could go with the twins which I'm excited about, but I am nervous.

What if people don't like me?

What if I don't make any friends?

What happens in this type of school?

What if-

"Hey, Nadia?" Nico yelled up the stairs, I walked out of my room and walked down the stairs. I smiled at him and he wrapped his arm around me. I felt at ease around my siblings because I now knew that they weren't going to do anything to me.

"Want to go school shopping with us?" Eli interrupted us, he popped out of nowhere, slightly stars, telling me because I didn't expect him to show up out of the blue. I nodded and we all got ready to go back-to-school shopping.

When we were in the car, I felt nervous about going to school. I am really excited to go back to school and meet people but I don't want the same that happened in my old school. I don't want to go through the same thing that happened because it still scares me.

Flashback:
I was walking down the hall of school and my baggiest bully walked over to me from around the corner.

Oh no.

I slowly backed away before he forcefully grabbed my arm, holding me in place. I slowly looked over to James and saw the evil smirk plastered on his face.

Before I could think or say anything, he ripped my bag off me and pushed me down.

And started kicking my ribs, my legs, my arms and my stomach.

All the worst places.

"Shut up you little slut" he growled, I kept my mouth shut about him bullying me.

Little did I know it would haunt me for the rest of my life.

I still have some nightmares about it but they were mainly about my foster parents.

Once we got to the shop, I stayed quiet, not really knowing what to get. The boys helped me with the books, bag and copies, and when we went to get the school outfit, Mom helped me with that luckily because I didn't want any of my brothers, or my dad to help with that part

Once we had everything, we were walking back to the car, I could feel someone looking at me, I slowly turned around and I could feel my heart stop. Not him. Why did it have to be him? Why couldn't it have been anyone else why does my life hate me this much?

One of my foster parents' friends, who let's just say wasn't the nicest to me. I scurried to Eli and held onto him tightly. I couldn't force myself to look away from him, and I knew he saw me because he had that evil disgusting smirk plastered on his face. He was staring directly at me.

I felt like I couldn't breathe properly. I feel like my heart was crawling out of my chest, trying to find air, my head was spinning and felt like I had head-butted a concrete wall

Eli looked down at me and saw my scared face. "Hey, it's ok Nadia, if you feel took pressured going to school you don't have to go" Eli said generously. I knew he was trying to be nice, but at the moment I just wanted to leave I didn't wanna stay here. I just wanted to be at home in the safety of my own house with my family.

I quickly shook my head and I could feel tears cascading down my cheeks, I didn't care anymore I was in the safe arms of my brother. I know my family was around me so I didn't feel as panicked as I normally would.

"O-one of m-my foster p-parents friends a-are hear" I sobbed, my voice stuttering due to the tears. Eli held me close to him and brought me to the car.

As soon as we got in, Eli held me close to him and our parents sped out of the shopping mall.

I felt really tired after all the crying, my body was still really weak so today took a lot out of me. Eli laughed and dipped his head closer to me. Making sure that none of the rest of the family could hear our little conversation

"You can sleep Stella, nothing will happen to you because we are around" he whispered to me. He was saying that to me, so I knew he wasn't lying, and I knew that he was telling me that I was safe and I trusted him.

I nodded to him while rubbing my eye with my fist and cuddling into Eli, I didn't fall asleep until we were safe back at the house. I didn't feel safe when we were in the car, but as soon as we got home, I felt the safest I've ever been

Eli wouldn't let me walk, so he picked me up, and brought me once again into the little movie room, the rest of our brothers and our parents following behind us and we all cuddled into the blankets from the fort.

I'm glad I have a family that is understanding and knew how uncomfortable I was when I saw him my heart stopped when I saw him, but I know nothing will happen. I know I'll never see him again, I just don't want anything to happen.
