Joining Team Skull

Chapter 12

Guzma: Hey, hey. Angel, wake up.~

I sat up and looked at Guzma who was fully dressed, he smiled at me and kissed my forehead.

Me: Hey. And please don't call me Angel.

Guzma: Why?

Me: That's one of my sister's names.

Guzma: You have sisters?

Yeah, but they treat me like a piece of trash.

Me: Yeah. I have at least uh... seven sisters including myself.

Guzma: Damn.... What are they're names?

Me: Uuhh.....

I got out the bed and got dressed trying to remember. My sisters rarely bother with me so it's hard to remember their names sometimes.

Me: There's Angelina, Angel, Mindy, Silver, Ana, Aliyha, and Margaret, then there's me.

Guzma: Huh. Who's the oldest?

Me: We're all the same age.

Guzma: Well, how old are all of you?

Me: Nineteen.

He nodded his head and pulled me into his usual hugs.

Guzma: Well now that I know, I won't call you Angel again.

Me: Thanks, I don't have any good memories with her or the others.

Guzma: Because they bullied you?

Me: Yeah, there's a lot more to it than what I told you.

Guzma: Oh? Well tell me.

He picked me up and sat down on his chair with me on his lap.

Me: Well the main thing they bullied me about was the fact that I could never get married like our mother and father wanted when they were alive and have a family of my own.

And I failed them like usual.

Guzma: Your parents died?

Me: Yeah.

Guzma: How?

Me: They went on a business trip over seas and..... the boat sunk....

We got into a fight before they left. I said so much hurtful stuff to them.... I never got a chance to say I'm sorry.

His hold on me tightened, the look in his eyes sincere.

Guzma: Are they married?

Yes, but they like to brag about it to me.

Me: Yeah, if I remember correctly..... Angelina is married to a man named Giovanni. Angel is married to Ghetsis. Mindy is married to someone in Team DimSun. Silver is married to Maxie. Ana is married to Archie. Margaret is married to uh...... I think his name was Cyrus? And Aliyah is married to some dude named Lysandere. Mind you some of these were arranged marriages.

Guzma: Who the hell are all of those guys?

Assholes, but I never had any trouble with Margaret or Cyrus. They're the only nice ones.

Me: I don't know and I don't care. All I know is that they're wealthy and have money, with a ton of children.

Guzma: Well shit.

He stroked my hair and gave me a sad look, I felt like I was gonna cry.

Don't cry, don't cry.
