a mafia story (A New Generation)

Rocco's POV!!!

A/n
This chapter has some mature themes. It may be a trigger to some people. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!
So don't come at me!!!😠

I went to go wake up raven because we have to train.

As I walk into her room I see her blanket on the floor and her hugging her sheet, she's crying in her sleep. I make my way to the edge of the bed and she yells. I know it's the nightmares again.

I ask her if she's okay and she says she's fine. I can tell that's a lie. I try to comfort her the best I can. I hate to see her like this. No one knows what happened that three years she was gone, she refused to tell anyone. It must have been really bad if she's not even telling me.

We make our way down to breakfast and she eats some frosted flakes. She asks if our men have found any leads finding mom and dad. The truth is we have, I try to make it subtle and say that it was just a note and not to read to much into it. I don't want her to overwhelm herself and break down again.

She yells at me and I try to stick up for myself. Thats when uncle jax breaks up our little fight. Next thing I know uncle jax, aunt winter and emerald are all in the kitchen, and yet again I was nominated to play with emerald.

20 minutes later

I walk into the kitchen to get a glass of water when I see raven, she's crying.

I ask her what was wrong and she just breaks down some more. She shows me her phone and I click on a link. It was mom. She is beaten to a pulp, her lips cut and a black eye. I am filled with rage. How dare anyone hurt my mother!

I look down at raven and she just crys some more. I realize that I'm scaring her so I try to calm myself down and comfort her. I don't know what's going through her head right now but whatever is must be really hurting her.

I haven't seen her like this since she came back...

Flashback

I found mom and dad but raven was no where to be found. We had searched for months and soon we had figured she was dead. At the back of my mind I had hoped that she would come back to me one day.

Thats when we found a body in an old bunker in the woods about 30 miles away from our house... it was the body of a girl about 12 years old, it was burned to the bone and we had assumed it was raven.

We had grieved over her death! I found my baby sister dead in the woods! Or so I thought.

About two years later a girl showed up at our house. She was completely covered in bruises and dirt. It was raven! She had been gone for three years. We had took her to a doctor and it was confirmed that she was raped and had many broken bones. We watched over her for months and had nursed her back to health. I was about 15 at the time meaning raven was that age aswell.

I remember her being so scared every time I went near her...

That hurt me knowing she was scared of me. I was her twin, her other half. She wouldn't speak to me or dad, she would only speak to mom. But she healed and after a year she was finally starting to trust again.

At 16 years old she had finally went back to school. All was good!

I still don't know who took her and what they did to her for three whole years though, and I can tell whatever they did still haunts her.

End of flashback.

I hold raven in my arms. Telling her over and over it'll be okay. I'm really not sure what to do with her anymore, her nightmares are back and she seems to be hurting more and more with every second.

It's like I'm walking on eggshells around her, She's fine one minute and the next she's crying her eyes out or punching something. 'Mom, dad, we need you.' I think to myself as I continue to hold her.
