Agostino Stories

"Mia! Mia wake up!" Summer shook me furiously by the shoulders in attempt to wake me up from my horrible nightmare, the nightmare from that night. The night I could hear their merciless, deafening screams screech in my ears. To stop myself from imaging their helpless faces knowing they were going to die. I would have died trying. Trying to save the only thing that truly belonged to me. I adjusted to no-one in this world being what they seemed and the only way to keep me sheltered was to keep this demeanour about myself. To act like a visitor to this world, to act like nothing would or could break me. And so far, it was working.... Mia has been abandoned and her family have all died in a crash. She is left in a rough estate and is living in a care home. Exposed to violence and crime, Mia is adamant to not allow anyone to break her but will all go to plan?

I ran downstairs into the living room, my heart pounding as I found all my brothers gathered around Nefeli. Her eyes were frantic, scanning the room, desperately searching for me. The scream that bastard had let out earlier must have reached her... The moment our eyes met, she practically threw herself at me, wrapping her arms around me so tightly I could barely breathe. I stood frozen for a moment, unsure of what to do. I hugged her back anyway... Even though I had no idea what was going on. "Thank God you're safe" she murmured in my ear, her voice trembling, leaving me even more confused. I glanced at my brothers. They all looked just as lost as I was. Except for Aiden and Alex. They were motioning for me to hold on. "Of course I'm okay, Nefeli. What happened?" I asked, my heart tightening. I hated seeing her like this, so worried and panicked. "I-I heard Alex and Aiden talking in Italian!" she stammered, her eyes wide with panic. "They said something about the Mafia! Are we being threatened by the Mafia?" Her voice cracked, and tears threatened to spill from her brown eyes. The room fell silent for a moment. My brothers exchanged looks, and then, without warning, we all burst into laughter. Nefeli stared at us, completely confused. Cole, finally calming down, wiped his eyes and looked at her with a smile. "Love" he said, his voice smooth, "we're not being threatened by the Mafia." he let the words settle in the air for a second. "We are the Mafia." • • • _______________________________________________________ ⚠️ DISCLAIMER ⚠️ Mentions of abuse, violence, harsh language, bad mental health, and light depression!
