Me and my 7 brothers

6

Elijah's POV:

It's been 11 years. 11 years since I heard her voice. 11 years since I heard her laugh. 11 years since our house that was once filled with laughter is now filled with darkness and hatred. She was the light to my bad days and the one that made me feel better. When Cassie was taken by the b***h Melanie ( their mother) me and Alessio took it the hardest because we were the closest to her. I can still remember the day when she left and I cried for hours

Flashback:

'Mum don't leave please.' I begged her

'I have to its not safe anymore' She said

'What do you mean it is safe' I said

'Dad can help you' I said

'Elijah when was the last time your dad was home hmm' She questioned

That shut me up. soon enough dad's loud voice echoed through the house

'Shut up' he slurred. great he was home. Note the sarcasm

He grabbed me by the hand and dragged me to the closet and locked me in it. I tried to bang it and force it open but it was of no use. I slid down the door crying that I couldn't protect my sister.

End of Flashback

Alessio wasn't always like this. Cold and blank. Before Cassie was taken he held a bubbly personality but he shut himself off as soon as she was taken. He was afraid that if he let anyone close now he would lose them. When he told them they found Cassie I was surprised. I thought that she would be dead. Tears were streaming down my face. After 11 long years I would finally meet my princess. I looked around the room to see everyone shocked but soon snapped out of it after we heard Alessio's stern voice

'Yes and I'm going to Ontario today we'll come back tomorrow afternoon' We all nodded as he said that

'Good luck.' Xander and Adrian shouted after him.

We all slumped on the couch watching 13 Reasons Why. We all fought about who our favourite character is. Adrian's was Clay and mine was Hannah because I felt a link towards her because I used to cut in the first 3 months after Cassie got taken. After 5 episodes we decided to go to bed as it was going to be an eventful day tomorrow. I slept happily that day my thoughts going to Cassie. What if she's a broken girl that I have to pick up the pieces of. I woke up earlier than usual today because I thought I would cook breakfast today because our princess was coming today. in about an hour I finished everything and set the table. I made bacon, sausages, mash potatoes, baked beans, Hash browns and egg paired with coffee or tea. Xander came in first and took one look at the breakfast and sat down to eat but I swatted his arm away.

'Owwww what the f**k is your problem' He said while rubbing the part I hit

'Its for Cassie not you' I said as he scowled at me

'Like she can eat all of it' He said

'She can and she will.' I said angrily

'Ok ok chill down I'm going' He said as he angrily stomped away

Soon enough Alessio entered with a girl behind him. She looked very underweight as she looked around the house taking each and every corner into mind. Alessio left her and entered the kitchen.

'You wouldn't believe what happened' He said

'What' I questioned

'Cassie is a good fighter' He said

'Real-' I said but I was cut off by a high pitched scream'

We all exited our rooms and went towards the scream but what we saw shocked us.

Adrian was on the ground with Cassie towering over him. Everyone let out gasps of their own wondering how a 15 year old could pin a 21 year old to the floor. We were all snapped out our thoughts when Cassie squealed as she hugged each and every one of us.

'You actually remember us' Zach said

'Of course I do.' She said

'Please enlighten me on how you threw Adrian on the floor.' Alessio said

'Lessi that's something for me to know and for you to find out' She said smugly

'Actually' Adrian started but before he could finish she elbowed him in the gut

'Owwww' Adrian said as she gives him a death glare which is quite intimidating

'Cass what happened in school' Lessi said

'N-N-Nothing' She stuttered

'Stop L-' He started to say but was cut off by the bell ringing.

'Xander open the door and you we're not done yet' He said

'Sure bro'

'Ari, Spence' She shouted as she tackled them to the floor.

'Cassie' they asked shocked

'Is that really you or am I dreaming' Spencer said

'No its Gigi Hadid' She said

Congrats to her btw she had a baby girl

'I don't believe you' Spence said

She slapped him hard

'Owwww' Spence said while her and Ari laughed their butts off

'Believe me now i***t' she said with a smirk.

'That's it' He said before flipping her on the floor and tickling her

'I-I-I'm sorry s-s-t-t-o-p' She said in between breaths.

'B-B-Betrayers' She said to us who were filming the whole thing

'That's what brothers do bambina' Lessi said

'I'll stop only if you say Spencer is my best friend and I love him more than Ari' He says

'Heck to the no' Ari said while taking him off her

'Thank you' she said as she was catching her breath.

'Xavi pick me up pls' She said to Xavier

'No' he said

'You don't love me' She said whimpering

'No I do fine' he said in defeat.

'Thank you' She said with a evil smirk.

When he came close enough she stood up quickly and flipped him over her shoulder. He groaned in pain while the other boys were scared for their lives.

'You're dead Cassie' Xander said as he came closer to her. She ran out the house with Lessi shouting

'Cassandra Stephanie Romano get your butt over here before I come after you'

For the past 2 hours Xavier has been pacing around the kitchen wondering if she was coming home

Sup' She said

'Don't you sup me Cassandra where were you' Alessio said

'With my new neighbours.' She said bluntly

'Were you crying' Xander said

'No now leave me alone' She shouted as she ran to her room.

A knock on the door snapped me out of my thoughts

'Cassie its me Ari let me in please' She pleaded

'No leave me alone' She said

'Cassie please open the door' Lessi pleaded

'No leave me the f**k alone' She said

'Cassie please I'm begging you just open the door.' I said

'No just f*****g leave me alone' She shouted

's**t' I heard Aria say

'What' Lessi said

'She's going to shut everyone out now' She said

'How and why' Lessi said

'Because she has trust issues and I can't tell you you're gonna have to wait for her to tell her' She said

'Cassie its me Ari let me in please' She pleaded

'Cassie it's fine he's not going to hurt you anymore. He's dead remember' Mrs Mitchell said

Who the hell dared to hurt my Principessa

'No leave me alone' She said

'Darling come down its dinner time' Mr Mitchell said

'Go away I'm not hungry'' She shouted.

'Please darling you haven't eaten for the past 2 days' He pleaded

Why the f**k has she not eaten.

'No just leave me alone' She shouted

'Please Cassie' Mrs Johnson said

'What do you not get about the word No' She said

'Leave me alone' She shouted

'Cassie what's that on your neck' Xander said

'Nothing' I said

'STOP LYING' Xander shouted

'Why is there a f*****g handprint on your face' I said

'I don't know' She said lying

'Cassie just tell them they won't do anything' Lessi said

'How would I know that when I told you. You stormed out the office and pinned Karen to the wall' She said angrily

'What the f**k did the b***h Karen do now' Aria said

'So I was late because the b***h Mandy Idgris cut my shoulder and I took a pitstop to the bathroom to see how bad it was and turned it quite deep but I disinfected it and stitched it up but I was 3 minutes late. I mean 3 minutes. She had the nerve to pause the video and open the lights just to talk to me and she pinned me against the door and strangled me and slapped me.' She said but as she finished that Jason punched the wall.

'I'm sorry I didn't protect you' Jason says

'Its fine. I've been through worse' She said

'What do you mean you've been through worse' Adrian said

'Nothing' She said as she sprinted to her room.

'Aria can you go check on her' I said

'Sure' She said

'Did you tell them about it' Aria said

'No I can't tell them I started my period' She said loudly. We all left the door and went downstairs but not even 10 minutes later Aria started shouting

'Guys Cassie passed out'

'What' We all shouted as we ran to her room. We found her on the floor with blood coming out her head. Lijah help her.

'Xavier get me a bandage' I told him

'Lessi get me some antiseptic' I told Lessi

'And Jason get me painkillers and a cup of juice' I told Jason

Once he got all the things I needed I started to wipe the blood away and wrapped the bandage around her head.

'Lets go and let her rest.' Xander said

A few hours later

It was now 7 and we were preparing for a special meeting with one of our best men. Hunter Davidson. Everything was going fine until Aria came in and started shouting at him. Yelling things like how dare you show your face here again after what you did to her and What the f**k.

'Why the f**k are you here'

'You can't be here you wrecked her life enough'

''Aria stop now' Mrs Mitchell said sternly but she didn't stop

'Aria stop before you regret it' Xavier said coldly but she just laughed it off

'Regret what. I have no regret about what I'm going to do. You don't know what he did. He ruined my best friend' Aria said

Could it be Cassie

'What did I do' Hunter said innocently

'You know exactly what you did' Aria spat

'What' He said innocently

'Hunter tell us what you did that got Aria so riled up' Alessio said coldly that made Hunter cower in fear

'If he doesn't tell you I will' Aria spat out

'Aria its not your story to tell its mine' Cassie said

'What. The. f**k. Did. You. Do. To. My. Sister' Xander spat

'Calm down Xandy I'll tell you and I swear if you get mad do not and I repeat DO NOT punch the wall go to the gym k.' Cassie said

A series of oks were spread across the room

'So it all started at the age of 11 when my idiotic father left me with him doing whatever he does on Friday evening. I was completing my homework when he entered my room and started touching me inappropriately and where I didn't want to be touched.' As soon as she finished her sentence all of our eyes darkened as we looked ready to kill.

Flashback ended

'Yoohoo Cass are you there' Adrian said snapping me out of my flashback

'Y-Yea I'm fine just zoned out' I said sheepishly

'What else did he do' Xavier said

'He r***d me' I said in no more of a whisper

'WHAT' Everyone shouted

'Elijah bring him to the basement now.' Alessio shouted to which we all nodded at.
