Dior's PoV-

We got to the place in upper manhattan, and it was such a pretty area. I spotted my parents and Luca. He looked so sad, I miss my brother. He looked up at me and stood up running to me. "Maria!" He said twirling me around. "I miss you too buddy." He put me down and we exchanged another hug. "I'm doing so good in all my classes! And all of my friends have been great. And Oh my god, we just got this rlly cute new girl and she's french. and super duper pretty." I was giggling while he was ranting. "Okay, you can tell me all about it once I great everyone." He nodded. My family, the Diaz family, and Rocco's family were there." Rocco's dad was short and his mom was somehow shorter. Rocco's last name is Gallo, which is kinda funny.

"Hello doll, you look lovely." Mr.Diaz is such a flirt. "Thank, I love the tie." He smiled at me. We all sat down, Aries of course next to me, and Luca was across from me. "Okay, now you can spill the beans."

"Okay, so the french girl is so freaking hot dude, she's so sweet as well. She's too smart also. She's been offering to help me with some of my classes and it's actually working!" He was so excited it was hilarious. "Lucas." My dad yelled at him. He whipped his head around. "Yes papa?" . "Lower your damn voice! You're a grown man." I looked at my father daringly. "Don't look at me like that Dior." He roared. Such a fucking baby. He looked next to me and quickly looked away, Aries. Always challenging the next person. His hand went to my thigh and I put mine on top of his. He looked down at me and i looked up at him giving him a smile.

"Don't listen to him kid, keep talking." Aries blurted, so sweet. Lucas lit up and started going again. He had so much to say even though we just saw each other yesterday.

"Son, will you come out with me for a second?" My father said to Aries. Mr.Diaz, my father, and Aries all stood up and excused themselves outside. Meanwhile, me and the moms, along with the rest of the table got to catching up.

"Maria, are you ready for the wedding, you have little time left!" Ms.Diaz said excitedly. I want more time dude, i'm not ready. I don't think I will be for a while. I want to run, to hide. But I will
never escape my fate. "You're still pure, are you not?" Rocco chimed in. What. the entire table looked at me. Lana looked horrified, regretful even. "Say that again." He was about to, but nope, a nice splash of water was all over his head. "Are you?" I said, getting up. Fuck my life. That's disgusting. I went to the bathroom to calm myself down. I didn't want to go outside to face the other pigs. All the thoughts just came rushing back, i'm not pure. I'm not. I can't look at myself. I can't think straight I don't have any power over myself, I want to cry, kill Aron all over again, destroy this bathroom, destroy everyone outside of this bathroom for putting me in the position. I want my father's head.

Meanwhile outside-

"We need you to do use a favor son." Salvatore said. "And what's that?" Aries was stone faced. Not unusual for the guy. "We feel there will be someone coming to the wedding, an uninvited guest." Diaz added. Perfect, who could it be this time. Aries had a guess, "The brits?" The other two nodded simultaneously. "We're not sure what the a good plan of action would be. Kill them all, or wait and see." They all stood for a moment. "We should wait, killing them would proceed complications. What if the plan isn't solidified and we act now." Aries added.  " We will just stay on our toes, hire more security around the venue as well as around the properties." They all chatted for a little longer and then headed back inside, to commotion.

Lucas PoV-

Thank god, the real men. "What the fuck happened when we were gone." My father asked. "Rocco said something to Maria when you were gone and it made her really mad so she spilt water on his head and went to the bathroom." I looked over at Aries, who looked like he wanted to kill someone. He walked over to Rocco and grabbed him by the collar and lifted him up, "What the fuck did you say Rocco." He repeated it again, "I just asked if she was pure." He blurted out panicked. Suddenly Rocco was on the floor Lana by his side, begging her brother. Mr.Diaz, my father, and me all trying to rip Aries off of Rocco. Eventually we got him off of Rocco and he went to check on Maria.
