Chiara Daveys is living a good life in England - if you ignore her constant struggle with food, lack of a guardian and how she's constantly working to pay the bills.
At 17 years old, she's been unaware of her 6 brothers who have spent the 14 years o...

Although I was kinda hoping Giovanni would forget to come up and talk to me - this was due to a lack of awareness as to what the conversation would be about - he didn't.
And I found that out when there were a couple light knocks on the door.
"Come in," I call out.
He opens the door and takes a moment to look around the room.
"This is really nice," he looks around more, "have you finished unpacking?"
"Mostly," I put my phone down and sit up further against my headboard, "I've just got toiletries and clothes left now, which I'll probably leave until the morning."
He nods and makes his way over, sitting on the end of my bed, "I want you to know that if there is anything i can do or get you to make this whole move easier or more comfortable for you, just let me know and I'll sort it," he assures me, placing extra emphasis on 'anything'.
"I really can't think of anything, I think just taking me in is enough for me."
He smiles back at me, "we're all very happy to have you home with us. Even if some of us don't show it."
Taylor.
"Thank you, really, for taking me in," I reply.
"It's okay, Chiara. I wanted to, I assure you," he says.
He gets up from where he's seated and makes his way over to the door before pausing, "if you have any questions or worries, you come to me, okay? I'll always listen to anything you want to tell me."
And then he leaves.

I have six younger siblings, and I'm very proud to say that I have most definitely raised five of them.
Those kids, I see them as my children. Even Harry, Lorenzo and the annoying little shit Taylor.
Whatever they do, wherever they are, I'll always look out for them. It's my job as the oldest.
And finally having my youngest siblings home? My sixth sibling? I finally feel like I've done something right for the Moretti family.
Sure, when I was 13, I didn't expect that I would take on the parental role in a year's time. However, those kids are my family and my priority.
And we're finally complete.
(AN - SHORT N SWEET. LIKE VERY SHORT, AND STILL SWEET.
Im thinking I'll do a time skip of maybe like 2 weeks? I'm finding that the awkward just-met bits are harder to write. So I'll probs time skip it to when Chi is more comfortable in the house.
Also it means we're moving further into the story and the chapters will become longer bc the awkwardness is just making me cringe so much.
2 more things, please read.
First off, I feel like the description of the book is shit. I forgot that the description was a rough draft and only now realised, I was meant to edit it before I published the first chapter but then I forgot, so I feel like that isn't helping my book get the recognition I want it to be getting, if you agree or have any comments on it, please let me know.
Secondly, a little bit of Italian lingo. Harry calls Chi a little angel, but using the translator, it translates to Angelo. And idk if that is masculine or feminine. Bc I feel like for Chiara it should be Angela. As she's a girl. If anyone knows please let me know.)
