°MORALITY°

Chapter 18

Delilah

It was already the next day and I hadn't got a wink of sleep.

How can a person sleep peacefully after something like yesterday's event?

My brothers and my cousins didn't come up to check on me because they knew I liked to be left alone when I wanted to sort out my thoughts or calm myself.

However, my grandparents constantly kept checking up on me. I hated myself for making them worry at such an age. I told them that I was fine and they didn't need to worry. They were reluctant to leave me alone, but they eventually did.

I should let them explain themselves and not just believe anything I saw.

With that, I went to take a shower and decided to finally face them. I didn't want to be that stubborn and coward girl not wanting to face reality.

I slowly went down the stairs. I spotted them already sitting down for breakfast, and they were waiting.

They were waiting for me.

"Good morning tesoro." My nonno hugs me, which I return.

"Morning Nonno, morning nonna." I hug my grandma.

"Good morning dear." She kisses my cheek.

"Morning Del." Enzo and Matteo greet me, to which I stay silent. They were probably involved in this too.

"Good morning princess." Ashton stood up to pull me into a hug, which I moved away from. I could clearly see that he was hurt, as he silently retreated back to his seat. I never EVER moved away from their hugs; which means I was REALLY mad at them.

"I think you guys owe me an explanation. I don't just want to jump to conclusions without knowing everything." I tell them. I could see that they were relieved to hear that.

"Nonno, nonna did you know about this too? Isn't this wrong?" I ask them. They had guilty looks on their faces which confirmed my suspicion.

"Tesoro, we just wanted to protect you. We didn't want to hurt you. Won't you please forgive us?" My grandpa asks pleading.
He knew how to make me forgive him. He knows I can't see him sad.

"I'll decide what to do after an explanation." I say turning away from him before he emotionally blackmails me.

"We will explain everything, but could you please eat breakfast first?" Tristan asks worriedly. Sometimes he was like a mother hen.

"And also mom and dad will be arriving today in the afternoon. We will answer your every question at that time." He adds.

I decided to eat my breakfast and wait for afternoon to arrive.

*****

Tristan and I went to pick up my parents from the airport.
My dad and brothers (Tristan and Ashton) always liked seeing me first after their trips. If they didn't, they would be moody for the rest of the day.

The ride was silent. Normally, I would be blabbering away and my brothers would just listen, but today I was not in the mood to talk. We finally arrived at the airport.
I immediately spotted my parents, because of my father's tall figure.

"Mom! Dad!" I went running to them and hugged them.

"I missed you guys so much." I say hugging them tight. I was already teary.

"We missed you too baby." My mom hugs me back.

"How are you tesoro? Any trouble when we were gone?" My dad asks.

"You guys know it too don't you?" I ask and back away from them, realizing that I should be mad at them.

"I'm sorry tesoro. We didn't want to expose you to this side of our life." My dad tries explaining.

"Do you......kill innocent people too?" I ask, dreading to hear the answer.

"Let's talk about this at home, okay?" My dad says.

"Okay." I say softly before I am led to my car.

After reaching home, my whole family is waiting for us. As soon as I entered the room, I see everyone seated and waiting for us.

"Tesoro, I need you to sit down for this." My dad says.

I comply and sit down.

Why do I feel like I'm about to be hit by a truck?
