"She's light. Too light." Antonio states giving us worried looks as we walk her to the room we had designed for her 6 years ago.

"What do you mean by that?" Lorenzo asks looking down at his lifeless sister.

"What I'm saying is she's severely underweight, she can't weigh more than 45kg" We reach the room and place her onto the bed. We all just stare at her hoping she'd wake up any second when suddenly Lottie storms in. 

"Boys, give her some space she'll be fine for now." She says attempting to push us out of the room.

"But what if it is something worse happens when we're not in here? Like she could start to have a seizure or..." Lorenzo is then cut off by Sofia rolling over and mumblings, "Shut the fuck up." 

We all sit ourselves down next to her probably a bit to close but one by one she shoves us away. God, she's bloody strong.

"Sofia please don't ignore us, we want to help you." 

"I'm tired." She murmurs into her pillow. We all stand up and Lorenzo then orders, "Come on let her sleep but Pietro stay in case something happens." 

"Why do I have to babysit?" I state, I do want to be with my sister but just the way Lorenzo said it made staying here sound like a chore.

"I have ears, you twat." Sofia grumbles still facing her pillow.

"Fine," I murmur and everyone exits the room closing the door but as soon as the door is fully shut and I hear footsteps walking away, Sofia is up and sitting on the couch next to me.

"Hey." She states giving me a blank expression while snatching the TV remote out of my hands.

"Aren't you meant to be resting right now?" She nods while putting the Vampire diaries on. I love this show.

"Then maybe you should get back into bed, also whose hoodie is that, it looks similar to one I own." 

"Oh, Ivan's." She says dryly.

"Am I meant to know who that is?" I ask looking at the TV.

"Yeah, I think you'd know him, he's related to Bosko." She says confusing me, wait does she mean Ivan Radonjic?

"Hold up Ivan Radonjic gave you that?" 

"Yeah, why do you sound so shocked." She says pausing the program to properly listen to our conversation.

"He's dead. His father killed like 7 years ago." I say, am I going mad?

"Well he's definitely alive, he got me out of that hell hole." 

"Do you know where he is?" I ask when I suddenly hear her stomach rumble I'll get her some food in a minute.

"Yeah, back in Serbia with his dad, but he said we might meet at some Mafia ball." 

"Oh yeah, It's in 4 weeks and we've only started planning." 

"Cool, I'll need to go dress shopping." She says.

"Are you hungry?" 

"Yeah I'm fucking starving but I need to change." I nod as she walks to her closet and shuts the doors.

"Wait Sofia I'll grab you some dinner and snacks. I'll be back in a minute."

"Ok!" She shouts back through the closed doors.

I ran downstairs and barged into Lorenzo's office where everyone was. Are they having a fucking meeting without me!

"What are you doing?" Lorenzo demands but I ignore him.

"Guy Sofia said something about Ivan Radonjic, and that he saved her." Everyone's eyes widened but before they could charge up stairs to interrogate her I stopped them, " No wait, don't go upstairs just yet ok, she just got back. Sofia doesn't need to be interrogated right now." 

They all nod and I quickly rush into the kitchen grabbing and Target meal deal and putting it in the microwave. As the carbonara heats up I stock up on candy and chocolates, pretty much emptying the sweet cupboard. It's fine I'll go to the shops tomorrow.

Once I hear the beeping of the microwave I take the food place it onto a plate and grab a fork. I walked up to her room but I constantly kept dropping things so I gave up picking things back up and kicked the packets of sweets along the floor until I reached Sofia's room. 

As soon as I walked into the room to smell weed the smell took over my senses. Is she fucking smoking? I dropped all the candy onto her couch and left the pasta on her coffee table. 

"Sofia?" I noticed she wasn't in the bedroom so I checked the bathroom until I saw her wardrobe doors still shut.

"Yeah?" She yells back.

"I've got food." 

"K, give me a sec." just as she said that she walked out in a tank top and some new joggers. Her scars were on full show and I tried my best not to crack. I can't treat her differently because she's been hurt that's not fair on her but I stand up and embrace her in another hug but she just tenses and pats my back. 

When I eventually push back I see a lit splint in her hand as she takes it up to her mouth. 

"I didn't know you smoke." 

"There are a lot of things you don't know about me, brother." She says inhaling and letting excess smoke out her lungs.

"You that's bad for and where the fuck did you get that from?" 

"Benjamino's room." 

"Seriously you went snooping through our rooms." 

"No just Benjamino's besides he didn't hide it very well." She says sitting down on the couch staking another puff.

"Get rid of that and eat." She rolls her eyes opens the balcony doors and takes another inhale before putting the splint out and throwing it over the balcony.

"Umm, littering." 

"Oh calm down besides your gardeners will pick it up." She states dryly while grabbing the bowl of pasta and stuffing her face.

What happened to my sassy full-of-energy sister, it's like she's a completely different person that I don't recognize but she's still my sister, and thank god she's back.
