"What was that about?" Vincenzo asked with his strict voice as they all came into my room, gladly door was alright...but lock was broken...fuck...no more privacy

I didn't say a word...I didn't make eye contact and I didn't move...I just couldn't...My body was frozen. Just like when Miguel hit me...I couldn't move, I was scared...after beatings I always felt disgusted...by myself...I never really tried to protect myself...If maybe I would have tried or when I tried...I should have done it with all the strength I had...I am a coward...

"Sorellina, what's wrong?" Santino asked as he came up to me and hugged me with his warm and loving arms

He put his hand on my head as he kissed my forehead. He was so kind...I don't deserve it, I don't deserve anything good...I hate myself...

"Lissy, you can trust us." Domenico said as he came closer to me, he crouched down and looked at me...I closed my eyes, I couldn't bare the thought and even worse a look which would show me how my brother was disgusted by me...

"Elizabeth, we are talking to you." Dante said with his strict and aggressive attitude

"Elizabeth. Tell us the truth." Enzo said as he stood there and looked at me

"For fucks sake! Answer!" Matteo shouted as he kicked my bed frame

I flinched so hard...tears started to fall from my eyes...I couldn't take this, not again...

"Everyone out. Except Santino."  Vincenzo said in his leader voice...they respect him

When our brothers walked out of my room they closed the door behind them and Vincenzo took my chair and put it in front of me...he sat down and looked at me.

Santino was still holding me like a little baby, he was kissing my forehead and the reason I was holding myself together was him. He was reminding me that he loves me. I closed my eyes and Santino's hand was on my cheek as he said again and again "I'm here, baby...I'm here. You are safe now."

"Elizabeth." Vincenzo started...I hate that name...don't you get it...

"She clearly said that she doesn't like that name...we should respect her wishes...she's Lissy." Santino said as he looked at Vincenzo

Santino understands me...he is like me. I have a feeling that we are the same soul, but placed in two different bodies. That's how safe I feel with him around.

"Lissy. You can trust me." Vincenzo said as he looked at me

I can't...No. I can't...

"Lissy. Can you please tell us what happened?" Vincenzo asked so quietly as I would break from louder noise

"Lissy. I'm here. I will protect you...always." Santino said as he looked into my eyes as I looked up at him

I felt so little compared to Santino, he was big, muscular, tall, strong...but he has a good heart. He is my person.

"Santino..." I muttered as tears filled my eyes

"Yes, baby?" Santino asked as he wiped away my tears with his thumb

"Will you really always protect me?" I asked in fear of losing him
