Missing Mafia Princess

(19) Busts and bruises

*Alessia's P.O.V* 

I am hiding from Daniel in the closet. The moment he came inside I knew it wouldn't be a good day. I was going to get a big beating today and I shouldn't do anything to make it worse however I find my legs moving faster than my mind works. I want to go back but I've done it now. I don't want to come out, but I know it won't end well to keep up the hide-and-seek. 

"Where are you?!" he slurs angrily

"You better come out right now little girl! Or Dad's going to get VERY angry. You know what happens when you make me angry" he yells louder now. I stayed quiet and retreated to the cupboard but accidently moved a little and a loud creak sounded. 

I hear footsteps thumping down and the door swings open and he stands there with a evil glint to his usual devilish eyes. Just then as if this wasn't enough his friends walk in. 

"So you finally found her? Well we better get to the lesson" one smirks from the doorway, the other looks down but nods slowly. With that they begin pulling me down to my room in the basement. 

They beat me for at least an hour before leaving. I just lie there on the floor crying for hours.

I jolt out of bed and scan the room for Daniel or his friends. I sit in bed aimlessly telling myself that there not here and that I'm safe. I kept chanting these for at least a half hour before checking the clock. 1.30 am meaning I had only slept an hour. I sigh shakily and walk to the bathroom my form still slightly hunched a better position for my ribs. Having nothing else to do I left my room and headed to the kitchen. 

After a few wrong turns, I found it. I went to go get the glasses from the top shelf. A challenge on it's own let alone at 1.30 am in the morning. I'm desperately trying to reach when a hand came from behind me and set a glass on the bench. 

"I could have had a heart attack!" I shriek and turn around to see Dante. 

"Sure" he says with an eye roll before his face hardens, "Why are you up at this time?".

"Oh - I was just thirsty" I reply slowly and quietly. I was about to leave before he could yell when I saw his face more clearly in the refrigerator light, his lip was split and he had a variety of cuts around his face and knuckles. He follows my eyes and realizes.

" It's nothing. Go back to sleep" he snaps at me. I know he hates me but I can't just let him leave like that. As if it was second nature as he turns to leave I grab his wrist and start pulling him to my room without saying a word.

"What the fuck are you doing?!" He snips angrily, we finally make it to my room which takes what feels like forever, I point to my bed and to my surprise he sits. I headed to the bathroom and grabbed my first aid kit, I  walk back in and he eyes the kit, "I said go to sleep and forget about it" He growls and stands to leave but I block his path. He angrily sits down knowing I won't budge and he can't touch me or Frederico would loose his mind. I found some cotton buds and antiseptic. I slowly dabbed it  on knowing first hand that it stings like hell but his face is void of emotion. 

"Why would you do this?" he whisper yells as I finish up. I think for a minute and I honestly don't know, "Well you are my brother" I say. He looks at me as if I just called him fat and leaves. I sigh and put it all away and hop back into bed which is still slightly warm. I sit up thinking of how to pass the time. When my door suddenly inches open, I jump but see Dante in the doorway. 

"Come. Your sleeping with me" He demands. 

"Why?" I ask. Genuinely confused. 

"Because I said so, I don't like repeating myself hurry up" He says walking away expecting me to follow which I do. He walks to his room and sits in bed and tells me to lie on the other side. 

"If you go anywhere near me I will quite literally throw you off the bed" He says as I cautiously sit next to him. 

"I can leave" I say not wanting him to throw me off the bed. 

"No" he says in a sure tone and I'm left utterly confused. 

"Go to sleep" he says as he grabs his computer from the bed side table. A few minutes later I hear the patter of rain and look out the window, however it's pitch black so I can't tell. Rain always helped me sleep for some reason. I lay down and for the first time I could sleep after a nightmare. My last thought before I drift off is the reminder It's Sunday night and I'm dreading school tomorrow we should just cancel Monday's existence. 

*Dante's P.O.V*

I grab my computer from the bedside table as she lays awkwardly beside me. I open the laptop and put on the sound of rain something I know helped her sleep since she was little, wondering if that would help. Ally looks to the window but sees nothing, she looks relieved at the sound of rain and shuts her eyes. I take the chance to look at her as her breathing slowly deepens. I'm still shocked she offered to clean my wounds and mad. God I'm fucking mad. She's too nice and she's going to be eaten alive. 

I work for a while, taking online scenario tests for the mafia before I take the final test on 18th birthday. 

It's almost 3 am when I decide to pull out my journal, I check Ally is definitely asleep which she is and flip to a blank page. 

I' m a piece of shit
