"Mommy why can't I play with the other kids?"
"People are bad, Violet. People hurt you. People are no good. Do you understand?"
"Yes mommy."
"People will lie. People will cheat. Don't trust anyone."
"Yes mommy."
I look towards the other children playing with a ball. I watched silently until I saw a little boy fall and hurt his knee. I watched as he cried and cried while the other kids ran away. I felt my mom stroke my head.
"See, Violet. You will always get hurt. No matter what."
I looked towards mommy. She was watching the little boy on the ground. She had a blank expression. But something in her eyes made me a little scared.
"Promise me, Violet. Promise to never trust in people."
"But mommy-"
"Promise me, Violet."
"I promise."

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!
