"Stupid!" "Ugly!" "Go to hell!" Girls and boys laughed as Loviano Vargas sat crying on the school floor. "Please...I'm-a good person!" "Yeah right! You can't play with us anymore!" Coughing out blood from being beat up, Lovi's tears dripped onto the floor beneath him. "Why does no one like-a me...? I didn't do anything!" Loviano's small, limp body, which was bruised and bleeding. "I'm not a bad person..." People walked around the crying, six year old boy. "Hey! " a boy about a year older sat by Lovi and gave a worried look. "Do you need help?" Lovi angrily looked away at the older boy. "I'm fine." The boy frowned and offered a hand. "I'm Antonio...you can call me Toni..." Lovi sniffled and looked away from Toni. "Where are your parents?" "Don't-a have any..."

Toni's eyes filled with sorrow as he hugged the smaller boy. "Get...off of me.." Toni cautiously got off and furrowed his eyebrows. "Do you live with someone?" Lovi bit his lip and shook his head. He did live with his sister, which was four years older, but he wasn't going to say that. He definitely wasn't going to say anything about his twin brother. Definitely not. "What?! But you're so young! Here, stay with me and my family for the night! I insist!" Lovi folded his bruised arms and he looked even farther away. "Please? It'll be better..." Lovi finally looked at the taller man in the eye, and suddenly his eyes filled with tears. No one has ever been this nice to me. "Wahhh!! Toni! I'm so sorry for being mean!" Lovi wrapped his arms around Toni and cried into his shoulder. "It's ok now....you'll be okay..."

Lovi sat up in his empty bed and held his head, shaking off the memory. "Bastardo..." He got up and his feet hit the cold floor. He sighed looking at the clock across the room. "It's Saturday..." He yawned and walked over to a chair in front of the framed picture of his papa. "...papa..." He furrowed his eyebrows and threw his hands on his face. "What did you-a do with Feliciano? Where did he go?"

"Loviano! Come here! Look, Look at the art I made! Is it beautiful?!" Lovi gave a small smile at his twin brother and then looked at his artwork. Nothing but scribbles. "Papa! Look at my art!" Shouted Feliciano. "Mine too papa!" The man came out and observed Felicianos first. "Wow! Feli, you are an amazing artist!" Lovi held up his work, and showed him. "Lovi...is that just lines?" "No papa! It's you, me, and Feliciano!" The man smiled and patted his head. "Beautiful as well then Lovi! I can't believe you boys are four already!" Lovi smiled under his papas hand. "Lovi, I need to talk to you about something, okay? Please come inside." Lovi nodded and followed as Feli continued to paint.

"Now, your brother will be going away today...ok?" The man looked down and bit his lip. "What do you mean papa? " He patted Loviano's head and gave a big depressing sigh. "Well, I think your brother is better off living...elsewhere.." Lovi pouted and poked away. "What about that other boy? The one with blonde hair? Won't he miss my brother too?" With a sad voice, the man answered. "They'll just have to meet again later on..." Lovi nodded and smiled innocently, "will I see Feli again?" Patting the small boys head, he nodded. "Of course you will." "What about Caterina? " the man looked away from his eyes again. "Today, you'll see her today."

Later that day, someone was at the door. "Papa! Someone is here!" The father opened the door to reveal three people. Two of them seemed to be together, and the other, an eight year old that looked like Loviano. "Caterina?" "Brother!" Feli ran to the door and waved hello to everyone. "Ciao!" Feli smiled at the older couple and looked back at his father. "Papa! Is Lovi coming with me?" The two boys stood at the door, hand and hand as the father sighed. "No. Lovi, you will be living with your sister. Feli, you will live with the young couple ." The two twins looked at each other in distress. "No! I don't want to leave without Lovi! " they held each other tighter and Lovi shook his head. "Feli...it's ok! We'll see each other again! Papa promised!" Feli teared up and cried into his brothers arms. "No! No! I don't want to leave Lovi behind! Especially that other blonde boy! Papa! I don't want to leave!" The father held his head and looked away. "Take them."
