Faith's POV

Luca stopped hugging me a while ago and I have to admit it was one of the best hugs I have received in such a long time.

I don't know what time it is, I just know Luca is sleeping next to me scrawled out like a fish, his arm on me, and his one leg is falling off of the bed. It's a funny view, to be honest. He started snoring a while ago and I've been tempted to kick him off the bed, but that felt too mean so I didn't.

I've been scrolling through my socials on my phone and then I saw the missed calls, all from Val.

Shit, I forgot to tell her what happened.

I sent her a quick text saying that I'm okay and that I'll update her soon about what happened. I move my body up on the bed and move my legs off the bed before trying to get up.

"Fucking hell." I let out while grunting due to the unbearable pain in my legs. I start moving towards my bathroom but I somehow trip over something on the floor and then out of nowhere someone's hands are holding me up, so I don't collapse.

"Hey, be careful Faith." Alessandro says, showing a half smile half worried expression on his face.

"You good?" He says looking down at me while leading me to the bathroom.

I nod, giving him my best fake smile, and enter the bathroom.

"Call me if you need anything sorellina,okay?" Ale said, trying to sound a bit less worried about me.
(Little sister)
"Okay, thank you Ale."

I hear his footsteps becoming more distant meaning he left my room,I'm just wondering how Luca can sleep through all this?

I look at the mirror, disgusted by my reflection, staring right at me, making me feel quite uneasy.
My eye bags have never looked worse. The bruises scattered all over my body were something I was sadly used to.

Slowly but surely I took off my clothes trying not to hurt myself in the process. I look in the mirror and stare at my purple-ish now ribs. Turning the cold water on, I stepped in, gasping due to the water hitting the bruises on my body.

After the shower, I put my hair in a towel and dried myself. I put on some grey sweatpants and a hoodie from one of the boys that somehow managed to get into my closet, it's a basic blue one that's quite big on me but I like it that way.

I get out of my bathroom and try to forget how awful and disgusting I look, which is quite hard because my body is always a reminder.

I spot Luca, still in the same pose, sleeping sound like a baby and then I see Marco sitting in the corner on my armchair.

"Faith, just came to see how are you and if you're up to go eat dinner downstairs with all of us?" He asked genuinely smiling at me, so sweet like I was a puppy of some sort.

I forgot about dinner and that reminded me that I was actually a bit hungry.

"I'm feeling better, thank you, so sure." Answering, I give him a real smile since his one is so contagious.

He jumps off of the armchair and asks if I need help walking, I nod my head no and he says to follow him since I still don't know the way around the house.
