Only his

Chapter Thirteen

Jade's POV
I somehow was able to swallow down the food. "Did you like it?" Stephanie asked. I didn't want to make her feel bad about how her food tasted like pure salt.
"It was ok, but it was a little bit too salty for me."

"A LITTLE?!?!?!"

We both turned and saw Chris leaning on the wall wear PJ pants that had a polka dot pattern on them and a black tee shirt. "How much salt you put in there for it to be smelling like the high cholesterol in here?" Chris said smiling.

I held my laugh in from that remark. "Shut up Chris, you just mad my cooking is much better than yours," Stephanie said while getting a spoon to scoop some of the food from the pot. She put it in her mouth, regret appeared on her face.

"Ok.. so it's...a bit salty." She said getting a cup of water. "How did you make it that salty?" I asked

" I added this it's supposed to be sugar." She opened the cabinet and pulled out a container that's said SALT in bold on the side. "Umm Stephanie that says salt." I showed her, she was shocked.

"Not only can you not cook, but you also can't even read." Said Chris laughing hysterically. I could tell that Stephanie was not having it.

"First of all I can read and cook, and second of all I would tell you to go fuck yourself, but that would be a cruel and unusual punishment." Stephanie said crossings her arms.

I couldn't hold it in anymore, I started busting out laughing. They both looked at me then they both started laughing. "That's the first time I heard you laugh since you got here." Chris said through the gaps of laughter.

That is true now that I think about it.

We all started talking about things and I learned a few things that I didn't know before. Stephanie was an orphan and was taken up by Vincenzos family. Chris is actually related to Vincenzo, he is his cousin. I told them about how my parents split up and that I ended up with my dad. I didn't tell them the full story.

"I can't believe your own father would kick you out your own room and give it to your step-siblings." Chris said shaking his head.

"Well, you have people that will never treat you like that ok" Stephanie came and gave me a hug. I don't know if I could really trust them to not treat me like that.

"Ughhh hmm"

We looked to see Vincenzo still in the same stance that I saw him in when he was in my room. "What are you doing here," he looks at me.

"The medicine said that I had to eat something before taking it" I showed him the bottle.

"It's ok Vincenzo we are here with her." Chris came up to Vincenzo. "I don't care if you guys are here with her, she needs to be in her room NOW." Vincenzo said angrily.

I just got up and left. What got his pantys in a twist. I ended up finding my room after I took many wrong turns. I got into the room and laid on the bed. I need to take a shower. I laid down a bit more before getting up.

In the bathroom, I looked around to find my phone. When I found it I turned it on, I have to turn my ringer off. I put the phone down and looked at the mirror. I see a few stitches on my head.

I looked over to my phone and saw 28 missed calls and 156 messages. Oh my gosh. They were all from Chelsea, she was wondering what happened if I was still alive and if I found a way out.

🍫: Hey, sorry for not responding.

I waited for a bit to see if she was awake or asleep.

🍦: You're alive, what happened I haven't heard from you in almost a week.
🍫: Well I tried to escape.
🍦: So.. what happened.
🍫: I got caught, shot, and punished.
🍦: You got shot?!?!!??!!?!??!?!
🍫: Yeah with a tranquilizer gun.
🍦: Oooh ok.
🍫: And I found out that they are in the mafia.
🍦:How are you not dead from trying to escape?
🍫: I got punished instead of being killed.
🍦:Umm well there is nothing you can really do now cuz you know.
🍫:Yeah I just hope nothing really happens here.
🍦:Just think positive ok. I got to go we have tests coming up and I got to study.
🍫:Ok hope you do well bye.

I turned off the phone and put it back to where it was. I got undressed and took a shower without falling again. I changed into some Pjs that I found in the closet they were black with white polka dots.

Before laying down I took a pill with some water that was near my bed. I got underneath the thick covers which were very comfortable and cozy.

I started to think about how my life is going to be here and if it's going to be better than the one I had before. If the people here are really going to treat me like family. That they won't abandoned me when I need them. Will I have a lot of happy memories to erase the bad ones?

These thoughts went though my head keeping me up for a bit before I ended up falling asleep.

"Mo....ther?"
