~You and me could have been a team~

Arctic Monkeys

It had passed around five days since the thing in the office. I had agreed to go out with Enzo for a day, only because I did not want to disappoint Aiden. He is his best friend and I am sure he wants me and him to be on good terms.

So now it was Saturday. The week had passed really fast. Hannah and I had become really close and Myles was smiling at me every day, making me blush. My brothers were glaring at him every time and they would scold me at home for smiling back, but I could not care less. Myles is very nice to me and really sweet, I could not help but be polite and smile back too. Plus Noah never said something about boys in the rules, did he? No.

So here I am, waiting in my room, for my brothers to inform me that it is time for me to go down. I was wearing a dark blue pair of ripped jeans, a nice, black Nirvana hoodie, and my black and white vans shoes.

To be honest I was a little nervous about it. I had been a complete ass towards him and now I am gonna go out and spend the whole day with him. I was feeling a little bad if I wanna tell the truth. He was so nice to me and I was so rude and cold.

I was listening to Monster by Skillet and I was writing the next chapter of my book on Wattpad when the door knocked. I was expecting someone to burst in, just like the twins do but that never came. Instead, only when I said a quiet 'come in' the person came in. I was expecting someone like Noah or Chris or even Dylan but I was clearly not expecting him to come in tho.

Aiden closed the door behind him and sat next to me on the bed. He had a soft, sweet smile on his face and his gestures were relaxed and calming. His brown eyes were hiding a comforting, adorable aura behind them.

I paused my music and focused on my brother who was sitting next to me on my bed. 'What does he want? If he is here to tell me to behave, I will push him off of the balcony' I mentally giggled, obviously not meaning it. I put on my best bunny-tooth smile and looked at him straight in the eyes.

I felt him taking a deep breath as if air could not reach his lungs properly. 'Whoa, I thought I was the one who had asthma'.

"How are you, coniglietto?" he asked me, softly. (Bunny)

"Um, good, I think" I responded, still smiling.

"Hm good, good" he mumbled under his breath. An awkward silence followed with Aiden looking down on his lap and me playing with one of the locks of my hair.

"I need to ask you something" he broke the silence, looking desperately at me, waiting for approval from me, which he got when I nodded my head.

"Well, what do you have against Enzo?"

I raised my look and stare at him like he was Freddie Mercury who got out of his grave. Shocked. To be honest I did not know how to answer him. As I said before, I was not truly mad at him. The only one I was angry at was Noah, no one else.

Like, he had just found out about my past. About my abusive parents. OUR abusive parents. I was being forced to do things since I only was a child. Someone else was making decisions for me and they were never good. And now my oldest brother, the one who was supposed to help me, was doing the same thing like the monsters who were called my parents were doing. He took a huge decision for me, not even caring to ask if I wanted, and forced me to do something I never wanted to do. He invaded my private space, opened my things, forced me to admit everything in front of all my siblings, and now forces me to talk about my past to a stranger.

I know I may sound hyperbolic, but if you were in my shoes, you would react like I do. And lemme say that I would love to get to know Enzo better and spend time with him as one of my brothers' friends and when I get comfortable enough with him may discuss some things with him about my problem but right now I wanted to be against Noah and not do what he is telling me to.

I took a deep breath and explained everything. How I never like people telling me what to do. How I did not like his decisions. How I felt minus and I could not take care and decisions for my own life. How I not mad at Enzo and I would love to spend the day with him. How I was nervous that he will not like me after all I have done and my behavior towards him.

He was looking at me without saying anything. He was doing everything I wanted someone to do all those years. He was listening to me. He was not interrupting me. He was sitting there, trying to understand me and hearing my problems.

I never dared to raise my view and look at his eyes. I could never do that when I was doing things like that. I did not wanna see the expression of the person in front of me, afraid of their reaction.

"Aiden, I am really not mad at Enso, trust me. Please tell him that. I-I did not mean to hurt him" my voice cracked as I was saying all those things. My breath was caught in my throat, not reaching my lungs at all. Like Aden was seem to be some minutes later, only that now I was feeling it for real.

He pulled me onto his lap, my head resting onto his chest. He was stroking my hair softly, calming my breath down. I could hear his heartbeat synchronized with mine.

"I am so sorry you are feeling like this, bambina" his arms around me tightened. His hug was the best place I could be at that time. Aiden is the only one I trust more into this house since I moved in. "Noah is just... Well, he cares so much about all of us, especially for you and he does things he belies are right, without thinking about them a lot. Trust me sunshine, he did not mean to hurt you like that, he adores you and loves you more than everyone in this life. More than how own life" he voice soothing my nerves, making me melt into his warm embrace. He was smoothing my hair with his hand, making my head heavy as relaxation filled me. (Babygirl)

His words really made my heart broke, in a good way. Noah indeed cares about me. Aiden today made me understand how much our eldest brother loved me. Like all my brothers did.

"I love him too, Aiden. I love all of you so much. I am so lucky I have you in my life" I admitted, playing with my fingers. Aiden looked down at me, and hugged me so tight I thought I was gonna explode.

"L-Lemme b-breath" I mumbled in his shoulder, and he finally let me go, chuckling and ruffling my hair.

"And as for Enzo, you did not hurt him" he looked straight into my eyes, rubbing my cheek with his thumb. "In fact" he smirked "You can ask him yourself" he said as we heard the bell rang.

I gulped and followed Aiden downstairs. I was not ready...

When we reached the last step, I saw Enzo laughing with Alex and Chris. He was wearing a nice dark blue pair of jeans with black and white converse and a black hoddies, matching completely my outfit.

When his eyes fell on me, his smile grew wider, making me smile too. He was so sweet, he made me feel worse than I was before, but I managed to cover it with a smile.

"Hey Nef, ready to go?" he asked me, sticking his hand out for me to grab it, which I happily did immediately.

My brothers were looking at us, grin on their faces. They were really happy I was finally okay with their friend. Well, I was trying to.

"Have fun, but not too much!" Alex yelled at us, making me giggle.

"See ya later boys!" we waved at them and left the house.
