Reverie

They were her sentinels, her saviors, the reason that she refuses to let her past consume her.

𝐆𝐈𝐔𝐋𝐈𝐀 𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐎, a young girl who lost everything when she fell victim to her psychotic mother's actions. Growing up to be fifteen years old in her mothers reckless care, Giulia had been through what most girls her age haven't. From drug runs to police raids, Giulia's mother ruined Giulia's one chance at a normal childhood. One night when her mother goes missing, Giulia's whole life changes... again. Will being under the guardianship of her new older brothers give her a chance at normalcy in her life or will they cause even more mess than before?

As I lied there in the hospital bed with a pounding headache, barely even conscious, I heard a familiar, raspy voice that sounded as though they haven't slept.

"Nessuno oserà toccarti di nuovo senza perdere le mani mia cara." I felt two hands hold my cheeks and a soft kiss on my forehead. The covers over me shuffled as the familiar person wrapped me in them.
(𝐍𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐦𝐢𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐚.)

Simply the presence of them reassured me as I felt myself drift off into a deep sleep.
