Chapter 6

"I wasn't aware" aria mutters quietly looking up

Every heads turn to her as soon as she mutters those words.everyone of them staring at her confused.

"Pardon" Zavier says

Suddenly Self Conscious beacause of their stares she looks down while quietly saying "I wasn't aware of you guys" she says confused. How would she know. Was she supposed to know? But how? No one ever told her then how would she know?

"aria you don't remember us?
James and Emma never told you about us?" Elijah asks from beside her confused angry and sad. Sad because their sorellina doesn't remember them. Their sorellina who they vowed to protect from any harm ever since she was born. They failed as her brother.

" no I'm sorry, was I supposed to know? No one's ever told me I had brothers. I only got to know from Ms Samantha two day's ago after..... " aria trails of as she feels so confused and lost. Why didn't James and Emma told her? Did archer knew that I wasn't his real sister? I mean he was old enough.why did they keep this secret from her? What is happening?

"no love don't apologize for something you didn't have control over. But all these years you thought James and Emma were your real parents" Luke questions as he thinks.

"yes I uhm thought that they were my real parents. they never told me anything about you guys" aria quietly says as she fiddles her hoodie sleeve.

All of the brothers gives Zavier a confusing look as Zavier stares at Aria's form deeply in thoughts.
"how's that possible? Alex I thought you told them?" Dante asks angrily from the side

"okay let's finish dinner first guys talk later" Elijah gives everyone a look and they start eating again but no one in the6mood for eating now. They feel betrayed. Their only thoughts right now is their precious sister didn't knew about them. She doesn't remember them. How would she, he sent her away when she was just three years old. They wish they could change it now. They wish they had another choice. They wish...

TW:self harming

After dinner everyone disappeared into their own rooms excluding the 3 eldest they had some important meeting. Little aria, she feels anxious. Doesn't know why. Her anxiety suddenly creeping up her back. The voices screaming in her head. She just wanted some peace. She wants to stop those voices but how.

Pathetic
Stupid
Whore
You're just a burden
Just die
No one likes you

Aria covers her ears as those voices starts screaming at her again. She just wants it to stop.
Please stop. Stop please.
Aria whispers again & again as tears roll down her cheeks. She grabs her old backpack as she searches for her anxiety pills. While searching, something shiny drops from the side pocket making a clink sound. In her blurry vision she pick it up. Blade.
No aria don't. You don't want to disappoint Archie. Don't aria.

Do it
Do it little aria
It'll give you peace
Cmon don't you wanna meet with Archie
He's waiting
Do it

With the sharp blade in her right hand aria moves it towards her left hand. One cut for being a disappointment. Two for being a burden. Three for archer. Four for being pathetic. Five for being stupid. Six for being fat. Seven for not being good enough. Eight for..

Knock knock

"aria you sleeping?" luke calls out from the outside of her door.
Shit. Shit shit shit. Aria shoves the blade in her bag and hides it under her bed. Clearing her throat so that she doesn't sound like she's crying she answers "no I uh wait a sec please" thank God I locked the door.aria quickly wipes her tears and washes the blood coating her left hand. Shit what do I do now. She rolls toilet paper over her cut so that it doesn't ruin her hoodie sleeves with blood for some time. She takes a deep breath before opening the door and stepping back a bit. Luke smiles softly at her. "m'sorry you had to wait" aria mutters. "no bambina it's okay you don't have to apologize. Thought you were asleep already, just came to say goodnight" Luke answers gently.
Aria smiles at him before telling him to come in. Luke frowns a little watching her tear stained face. She cried? His heart aches. Why? What happend? Maybe because James and Emma? I mean it's pretty obvious she's sad about it but we're all kinda confused. Why didn't they let her know about us? Why? Luke watches as aria sits on the bed quietly. Luke gets closer, not forgetting the way she flinched a little. He gently tells her to lay down as he puts on the fairy lights on her bedside. Aria watches Luke carefully not knowing his intentions. What is he doing? Is he finally going to punish me now that no one's here or...
Luke gently covers her with the fluffy blanket as she closes her eyes in fear. She peeks a little and sees Luke sadly looking at her. He pats her head before coming closer and closer...
Aria closes her eyes tightly as...
Luke presses a soft kiss on her forehead as he whispers a goodnight love. He then stands up and walks away not before closing the door with a soft thud.

Goodnight Luke, Aria whispers as she drifts off to sleep.
