Aurora Costello.

Chapter 35.

4 days later.

I had to have stitches after they removed the bullet, apparently it was laced with a small poison which is why I reacted to it how I did. I've been bed ridden since and honestly I haven't spoken a peep to anyone.

The whole family and all my friends keep coming into my room and trying to talk to me but I don't want to speak. They hurt me, wether I like it or not pietro's final words dug so deep into my brain it's hard to erase them and their reactions? Whenever I look at any of them all I can think of is how disappointed they must be at me.

The failure of the house.

Aaron says he's going to bring aura round when I feel better but I don't know how long that's going to take because I look and feel like utter shit.

Currently I'm pretending to be asleep while they're all surrounding me talking.

"I don't know what to say to her" one of my cousins voice out loud like it's the obvious. I still haven't actually been introduced to any of them but I know who they are. Legally and illegally.

"Just say hello dimwit, she's not talking to us anyway" another one said.

"Well if I wanted to talk to a brick wall I'd speak to Asher" someone piped up.

What the fuck? That was uncalled for.

I tense but keep my eyes closed

"Shut the fuck up dickhead" ace whisper shouts.

"Guys your not being as quiet as you think you are, ria's probably awake" Arlo says

Oh he knows me so well, but I keep my act up.

"She's not awake, she would have moved by now" Elijah comments.

"I dunno what to say to my own sister. She seems so sad and deflated." Aaron whispers sadly.

"Maybe I should bring aura to see her, I just don't want aura to be sad if Rory doesn't speak to her" he continues

I would never ignore my niecey.

"It's worth a go" mama comments.

"Ok I'll ask Benny to bring her home from the beach then" he says walking out the room presumably to call Benny. Who is his best friend.

"I feel so bad, when I first saw her I punched her in her face" Asteria whimpers.

"It's okay babe, she understands...probably" Emilio comments

Sorry did he just?

Hell to the fucking no.

I was presumably dead, and my triplet brother got with my best friend what in the world?

I feel my heart tighten and my palms shake. Trying to breath in and out I realise it's not working as my heart only tightens more. My heart monitor attached to me start beating like crazy and I spasm.

The hell is wrong with me. Am I having a seizure whilst awake?

I realise every one has stopped talking and are now trying to 'wake' me up?

But I'm not asleep.

Shit what the fuck is going on.

I feel those callous hands I've gotten all to familiar with recently enclose around my fingers as he whispers sweet nothings in my ear.

"Wake up baby, your ok"

"I'm gonna need you to calm down"

"I'm here"

Blade.

I haven't had all that many conversations with the fella but I'll tell you for free, he's so handsome and it's obvious he cares. He hasn't left my room for the past 4 days even with the empty threats from my brothers. His sister Maria has been in a few times too, her and Ronan are getting along pretty well.
