"hey you ok?" sophia walked in
"yeah i'm fine" i lied
she closed the door and sat at the edge of my bed, "i know what it's like for your father to be like that, rude and cold and missing majority of your life"
i stiffened up and swallowed a lump in my throat, "i'm gonna be honest with you, but you can't tell anyone"
i looked up at her, "my older sister lilith but we would call her bella short for isabella, she took care of me and joey when our parents would be out, she was the oldest and my father would force her into doing it, our mother didn't care"
i sat next to her and she stared at the floor, "joey was always my fathers favorite, he was the man and the second oldest while i was the youngest" she cleared her throat
"he would always take joey for shooting lessons or to teach him how to defend himself or how to kill and torture people, how not to be caring and get sensitive for people, pretty much showing him how to not have a heart"
"i know joey and he use to be this caring and sweet boy who loved people and would always go out of his way to make sure everyone had a smile on their face, he would put others before him and that's not something everyone does, trust me he was rare" she spoke and i can tell she wasn't lying
"when my father would take him with him he would come back a little different every time, sometimes paranoid, sometimes tougher or meaner, my father is who changed him and not once has luciano been kind to me or my sister, my mother was the worst part"
i sat up straight feeling a bit curious to the rest of the story
but joey being nice? that's funny
"bella would always make sure me and joey were safe and ok, making sure we wouldn't worry about our parents and not to mention how much joey loved her" she smiled at the end
"he had such a- what's the word?. . soft spot for her, lilith was the best thing to happen to him and you can tell, he had a love for her that was crazy, he cared deeply"
[ lilith is bella's name by the way so don't get confused ]
i smiled at how much joy it brought her to think of it
"they were only 1 year apart so they were always close, i'm 2 years apart from lucifer so i'm the youngest" she said
"how old is he?" i asked
"20"
i nodded, 20? i thought he'd be 23 or something
"so your sister lilith? bella?" i asked, "bella" she said
"bella, where is she now?" i asked and her face dropped
"i have to go" she got up
my brows furrowed, "did i say something wrong" i asked
"no you didn't i-i just really have to go but it was nice talking to you" she said and left
was it something i did? i was confused
