I escape into my head. Into the clouds. Into space. Because anywhere is better than here, better than right now. In my head, I'm safe from everything and the world is what I make it. There are no little brothers to protect from bullies. There are no predators around the corner trying to kill me. I'm not a freak. I'm not alone. And most importantly, I didn't see my dad murder my mother. After finding her mom's dead body on the living room floor, after school one day Anina's life is never the same. All of a sudden she is whisked away to live with her half-brother's dad, is forced to move to a new school and now she must testify in court against her father. Her father is dangerous man, always on the wrong side of the law and hanging with wrong crowd. Uprooted from the only life she's known, avoiding being killed by members in her father's gang and handling high school may prove too much for Anina to handle. Anina wants nothing more to be left alone, to be left in her head.

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!
