Isabella

I swear I will punch whatever makes this beeping sound. For some reason I'm already in a shitty mood and this person is just playing on my last nerve.

Who has a death wish waking me up this early, I swear to god.

I bet it's that idiot Santiago. I swear that guys does everything to make me smile, little bitch. He and his dumb pranks. You always have to pretend they worked while in real life you saw him literally preparing the prank ten minutes ago.

He has a lot to learn from me and Katie. Don't worry Santiago, we got plenty of time to work on that.

I did miss his silly jokes and his goofy laugh. Once I figure out how to wake up, I'll run to him and tickle him just to hear his laughter. I did miss him a lot while all this four steps thingy.

What can I say, he's Joey and I'm Chandler.

He's Stiles and I'm Tyler, he's Dwight and I'm Jim, he's Jake and I'm Boyle, he's Ron and I'm Harry. He's Dustin and I'm Lucas, he's Santiago and I'm Isabella.

I slowly tried to open my eyes but to no avail. What the hell is going on?

I wanted to rub my eyes but I can't even move my arm. What the-

Then I recognized the beeping sound. Hospital.

Wait does that mean-

My mind goes over into panic and the beeping sound started to fasten. Okay, maybe not the best time to have a panic attack.

Breath in and out, Isabella.

Suddenly the beeping sound turned into blurred voices. And the blurred voices became words.

"Isabella, Isabella can you hear us? Please squeeze my hand if you do. Isabella, Isabella can you hear us? If you do-"

I noticed she was holding my hand and I tried to focus on squeezing her hand.

Come on, we got this, come on.

Yes!

"Isabella? Good god, she squeezed my hand!" The person said happy.

"Thank god, this family is scary as fuck." An other person said.

"Isabella, focus now on opening your eyes." The person said calmly.

It took me a few moments but eventually I was blinking my eyes.

Damn the light hits different today.

"Welcome back, Isabella." A friendly doctor said. She had black curly hair and brown eyes. She's pretty to be honest. She would be perfect for Lorenzo-

Lol what.

"Hi." I whispered with a dry voice.

She chuckled "Hi, darling. My name is Raven and I'm your doctor. How do you feel?" She asked as she hands me some water.

"Position her bed so she's sitting up!" she barked orders as she turned to face someone behind her.

Slowly the bed was moving so I was sitting up. Cool.

"Here you go, darling." She said as she finally hands me that glass of water. I gulp it down and coughed a few times.

"Alright Isabella, do you have pain anywhere?"

"My hip feels weird and my head hurts. I have this weird tingle in my shoulder and I feel weak." I said honest. The doctor chuckled.

"Well the headache and weak feeling is normal. Your shoulder and hip are both places that got hit the most. Do you remember anything that happened?"

"I don't know." I whispered as I looked down. "Everything is blank right now."

"You were in a car accident, it's normal to forget some parts in the beginning. Normally they will come back when time's right. The nurses will run a few tests while I ask questions, is that okay?" She asked and I slowly nodded, taking in the information.

Car accident? Damn.

And I'm still alive? Damn.

"How old are you, Isabella?" She asked. Does she think I'm- whatever.

"Fifteen."

"Can you describe your family to me?"

"Way too much testosterone and loves DNA-tests." I laughed without emotions.

"Okay... How long do you think you were out?" She sounded confused at my answer. I would be too.

"Five days?" I asked her more than answered.

"Almost three weeks. Nineteen days." She said with a sad smile.

"Holy shit. Two weeks and five days? That's insane." I whispered.

Suddenly there is a knock on the door and a nurse came in.

What's the point of knocking when you don't wait for a 'come in'?

"Her family wants to see her." The nurse said. The doctor looked back at me and I nodded.

I have to face these people either way, whether I want it or not.

"Let them in." She said and the turned to me. "Look me in the eyes for three seconds and I'll sent them out." She smiled. "I can imagine such a big family can be very overwhelming." She chuckled and moved to stand against the door, writing down some stuff.

The nurse opened the door and slowly one by one they stepped inside the room.

My eyes fell on the person who stood the closest to me. Damn he looked horrible. He was holding my hand and smiling at me.

"Where have you been, loca?" He chuckled as a tear escaped his eye.

"You think you're getting a girlfriend looking like that Lio?" I joked.

She chuckled as another tear escaped his eye. "Fuck a girlfriend, I got my little sister to protect." He smiled.

"Hey, I don't want to be in your way of making a family." I said stern.

"Isabella, right now I'm not looking for a damn girlfriend. I'm focusing on you, dummy" He chuckled and I smiled. "God I missed you so much. I thought you- that I- fuck."

"Hey, Lio, I'm fine. I'm okay, no need to stress you won't be hearing any sass coming out of this mouth. You'll get plenty, I promise." I winked.

"Oh lord give me strength." He sighed and we chuckled together.

"Please never ever do that again. When I yell, you listen and you run back to me, okay?" he said in his most serious voice I've ever heard.

"Sir yes sir." I smiled and opened my arms, signing him to give me a hug.

"I missed you loca, so damn much." He whispered.

"I missed you too Lio. More than you can imagine." I whispered back.

"You know this means I'm spoiling you even more after this, right?" He said with a smirk and I sighed. Dear god.

We stopped hugging and my eyes fell to Lorenzo.

"What are you doing here?" I said in the most coldest voice.

"I-"

"You what. Get. Out. If you even think I forgot what you did, you're dumber than I thought."

"I thought we were slowly working on that." He said, hurt all over his face.

Good.

"Working on that? When did that happen?" I scoffed.

"Isabella?" Emilio asked carefully. "What the last thing you remember?" he said slowly.

"Well I couldn't remember the accident-"

"Before that." Romolo asked, catching up on what Emilio thought. What did he think though?

"The test results from the DNA-test showed I was family and I walked out. Got a whole trip on the bus and ended up at Katie's door." I shrugged. "Why?"

"Princess, that happened two months ago." Grandpa said slowly.

"No, it happened the day of the accident, right?" I said confused. "Right?" I turned to Emilio.

"Loca... It's okay, you'll get your memory back." He said with glossy eyes.

"No, no, I didn't lose my memory! I'm not dumb, I would never forgive you guys after that, never! If this is some sick way to make me believe I already forgave you-"

"Little one, they're not lying." Romolo said with sad eyes.

"No." I snapped.

My eyes moved to four boys and my eyebrows raised.

"Who are these people?" I asked confused.

"You don't remember them? They're your friends." Luigi said.

"Friends from where? Are they new in our school?"

"No, you started to take box classes and that where you met me. After a while you met my friends." The handsome one said.

"You really don't remember us, gorgeous?" A boy with a British accent said.

"You're from England!" I said excited.

"I lived-"

"You lived in Bristol for a while. I know. We both love the place Tia's dinner because the bubble tea is the best." he chuckled.

"Welp that's not creepy at all." I whisper.

The door opened with a force and a beautiful Pointer walks in.

He came up jumping on me and licking my face.

"Who got a dog while I was away?" I said exicted.

"You did." Grandma said as she smiled.

"What?" I asked confused.

"You have him eight weeks now I think. He has grown in the time you were out." She smiled softly at me.



A/n look what a big boyyy 😫😍 Lol sorry MOVING ON

"He's mine?" I whisper.

"Yes, we bought him for you. You named him Apollo." Julio, Vito and Lorenzo said.

"Apollo." I whispered. Apollo started barking and licking my face more. Guess this big guy wants cuddles.

Your wish is my command. I started to pet his belly and he laid on my lap while looking at me and me rubbing his belly.

"Who's a good boy." I snuggled my nose on his hand and he licked my nose.

He couldn't stop his tail from waggling all the time. What a cutie!

I made eye contact with Katie.

"Hi." I smiled and she smiled back with tears in her eyes.

"Don't you fucking 'hi' me, you scared me to death." She said as she walked to me and wrapped her arms around me.

"Wait, where's your mom?" I asked. "Where's Crystal?"

"Yeah, about that. You see when you were snoring, somebody broke into our house and set it on fire. She got operated here but everything's okay and she can wake up any minute." She smiled.

"What." I closed my eyes and repeated her words.

"Did you-"

"No, he got away. I have no clue who it was." She sighed.

"We'll find out. We'll hunt him down and you'll have your way with him, I promise."

"Thank you Bells." She smiled at me and I smiled back. "Oh and my dad stopped by a few minutes ago."

"Are you okay?" I asked concerned.

"You're the one laying on a hospital bed!" She laughed.

"Katie."

"I'm fine, he can die for all I care." She lied.

"We'll talk about this later." I whispered as I pulled her in for a hug.

"Memory loss or not, I would never ever forgive you for that. Ever. I want you to leave."

"Cariño-"

"Please leave." I whispered as I looked down.

It was quiet for a while, but then I heard people walk and open the door.

"Katie, stay." I said and she nodded.

When everyone was out, I looked at her.

"You are so faking the memory loss." She smiled.

"I so am!" I laughed out.

"Jezus, you got me there for a second. " She laughed.

"Could you get me the letter-"

"I knew you would ask." She said as she took it from her pocket.

"You're the bets! Get Romolo, Emilio, Grandpa, grandpa and they boys here in one hour. We need to discuss something." I said serious and she nodded.

"How urgent?" She asked before leaving.

"Red."

"Fuck."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Okay what is this all about?" Romolo asked.

"I'm confused as well. Even more when the litte penis is here." Grandpa said as he narrowed his eyes on Calix.

Grandma smacked Grandpa's head. "Be nice. I'm telling you, these two will be together by the end of the year." Grandma laughed.

"Year?!" Noah gasped.

"Oh come on, they're both way too stubborn." Katie rolled her eyes.

"Hey!" Me and Calix said at the same time. We had eye contact and hold it for the longest time until Emilio coughed and looked ready to kill.

"She's not dating anyone for a long ass time." He said as he crossed his arms in a childish way. Awww my baby brother is protective.

"You're cute Emilio, but now to the point. I haven't been honest with you all." I moved my eyes to Katie. "Did you fill them in?" I asked.

"They know everything." She nodded.

I asked Katie to fill Calix, Noah, Levi and Hunter in on all the latest drama. I need them if I want my plan to succeed. My plan to finally unravel the letter and the truth.

"Good. First of all, I do not suffer from memory loss, that was just a little prank." I shrugged.

"Erm, excuse me now?" Grandma said and I gulped.

"It was the last thing I wanted to do before giving them another chance." I smiled awkwardly at her. She let go of her glare and gave me a smile.

"Smart child, I'm telling you." She said to grandpa and he chuckled and kissed her forehead.

"Crazy dangerous woman, I'm telling you." He whispered to me and I chuckled. "I'm glad you're fine princess." he smiled and I smiled back.

"Thank god, I wasn't ready to go through that fase again." Emilio breathed out and I chuckled.

"You tricked us all, little one." Romolo laughed.

"Kinda hurt my feelings, Bella." Noah pouted.

"Sorry buddy." I smiled. "I couldn't let the chance slip."

"You scared me" Calix sighed and I gave him an apologizing smile. He smiled back what made my smile grow.

"Never do that again, gorgeous." Levi laughed.

"Noted." I winked.

"Smart scary woman." Hunter said and everyone chuckled.

"Romolo, remember the letter you got me from my dad?" I asked him and he nodded with a confused expression.

"What letter?" Grandpa, Emilio and grandma asked.

"This letter." I took out the letter. "Dad wrote me a letter for when something would happen to him and he would never see me again. He told Uncle Romolo to give it to me when he met me again."

"The thing is, it looks like a normal letter, right? Look what's on the other side." Katie said as I turned the letter.

They all looked shocked at the secret code.

"What the-" Emilio said with big eyes.

"Let me guess, you figured out what it means." Calix smirked.

"Ding ding ding. I did. And I should have told you guys immediately. I haven't figured everything out yet but I did found some important information."

"These are birthdays, of Castillo's. If you link every first letter of their name, you become a sentence." Katie explained.

"Kiara is not Kiara." I said and everyone gasped.

"How-" Emilio said.

"Patience brother, I'm getting there. I was confused at first, but now I looked at it again and it clicked. These two dates right here- 21/05 - 21/06 - are the dates for a gemini. And what's a gemine?"

"Twins." Levi breathed out.

"What means, the woman I lived with was not my mother. If my assumptions are right, that woman is my real mother's twin. Evil twin you could say."

"That actually makes so much sense." Emilio said. "Mom loved you so much." He breathed out.

"But she never told us about a twin sister." Grandma argued.

"Yes, she did. She told Gabriel she had a sister, a sister who hated her on a new level. I heard them talk about it once." Grandpa said.

"That confirms my theory." I whispered.

"We need to tell the others." Emilio said. "If this is true, we need to find where our real mother is. And what the rest of the letter means." he said. He looked at me, asking with his eyes if I'm fine with it. I nodded and he gave me a smile and I gave him one back.

"Now could someone get my little pup inside please?" I smiled and everyone chuckled.

Please pretend this is another sassy thought of Isabella but if you're not reading this -again- on w a t t p a d then my story has been stolen

Its unfair towards me, the author for sterling my work and claiming it as yours on other websites. So darling do me a favor and stop reading it on that site when you van read the actual story for free on w a t t p a d.

Thank you and have a lovely day, back to the story.

Hunter opened the door and Apollo ran inside and jumped on my leg. I started to pet him and give him love while he searched a good lying position.

"I missed you boy." I said as I scratched behind his ears. Damn he has changed while I was away. Probably triple his seize now.

"I guess we're getting everyone inside and have a family meeting." Grandpa shrugged.

He walked to the door and slowly opened it.

"Everyone with my last name gets his or her ass in here right now!" He yelled. No wonders they're scared of my family.

They're fucking cray cray.

I like.

Soon the room was filled with my family and I coughed so everyone would stop talking. ALl eyes were on me and you could here a pin drop.

Awkwarddddd

"So uhm, I haven't been honest with you guys. First of all, I do not suffer from memory loss, kinda pulled a little prank there." I laughed nervously. Everyone looked shocked but before anyone could say a word a started talking again.

"Moving on-" I started but I heard Lorenzo whisper

"Thank the fucking gods." Hé said as he closed his eyes and I fought off a small smile that dared to appear.

"Second of all, long story short, Dad left me a letter and there was a secret message. I cracked it and it says Kiara is not Kiara. He tells us that the woman I grew up with is her evil twin sister. Grandpa also heard them talk about her when they were still with us." I said in one breath and everyone looked at me with big eyes.

"I'm ordering pizza, does someone wants something?" Noah said out of the blue.

For god's sake I missed this weirdo.

"I'm questioning why we are friends." Levi said as he groaned.

"Pizza prosciutto please." I said.

"Alrighty!" He smiled.

"Wait, but where is Kiara then?" Sofia asked

"That's what I hope to find out once we crack the whole letter." I sighed.

"Can I see it?" grandpa asked and I nodded while handing him the letter.

"Now that you explained the first part, I do get it but the second part is like Chinese to me." He said as he massaged his temples.

"We'll have our most trusted men work on it." Luigi said as he held my hand.

"No. This is a family case and we're going to solve it like a family." I said.

"Like you hid it from us?" Rodrigo scoffed.

"What was that, Rodrigo?" I said as I slowly turn my head to him.

"Nothing." He whispered. Apollo started to bark at him and I smiled.

Trainee him well.

"Sounded like an insult to me, Rod." Katie mimicked.

"Why don't you-" He started angry but Noah cut him off.

"Uh uh uh. That's not the right way to speak to Katie, is it?" Noah said with narrowed eyes as all four boys stood next to Katie and me in one line.

"If I were you, I'd chose my next words careful, mate." Levi narrowed his eyes.

"You never know when you strike a nerve." Hunter teased as he cracked his knuckles.

"Besides, before you can act like a dick to your sister, you need to have one." Calix shrugged as he placed his arms over each other.

Rodrigo wanted to say something but Apollo cut him off with barking.

"You see, Rodrigo. I know you probably just mad your father wrote a letter only to her, I understand that. But she can't do anything about that. You're just messing things up more." She shrugged. "She may have been standing alone i the past against you guys, but now she has a wall of bodyguards. Six to be exact." Katie said with a proud look.

My bodyguards, Levi, the smart mouth becoming sassy

Noah, the weird one becoming serious

Katie, the funny one becoming

Hunter, the quiet one becoming a fighting machine

Calix, the lovely one becoming scary and a fighter

Apollo, the cute one becoming overprotective

"Make that seven." Uncle Romolo winked.

"Nine." Grandma and grandpa said.

"Ten." Uncle Luigi smiled.

"Twelve." Matteo and Sergio said.

"Fourteen." Bruno and Luca smiled as they had their arms around their shoulders.

"Seventeen." Carlos, Cameron and Cayden smiled at me.

"Eighteen." Rocco said with a sad smile.

"Twenty." Julio and Vito winked at me.

"TWENTY-ONE" Emilio moaned and everyone started laughing.

"Twenty-two" Matteo smiled.

"Twenty three" Lorenzo smiled with pride in his eyes.

"Twenty-four." Riccardo said before hitting his twin -Rodrigo- on his head.

"I'm sorry, I just-" Rodrigo said as tears started to form in his eyes.

"It's okay. I understand not everyone can be as smart as me." I smiled and he laughed.

"No one can." He said as he closed his eyes. He opened his eyes again and looked at me.

"Twenty-five." He whispered and a huge smile broke on my face. Wait.

"Where's Santiago?" I asked and everyone's eyes went wide. It was like everyone stopped breathing.

"Little one, I-" Romolo breathed but he turned away as tears formed in his eyes. What the-

No.

The person who pushed me.

"No. Please, no. He didn't push me. Tell me he didn't push me!" I said panicked as I started to cry.

"Loca, I'm so sorry." Emilio whispered as sadness was all over his face.

"No." I said. "Katie, it's a sick prank right? Right?" I asked her with glossy eyes.

"God, Isabella. I'm so sorry." She whispered with a tear rolling over her cheek.

No. No. No.

"Grandma?" I asked in a weak voice. I hated that it cracked at the end.

"We'll get through this, love." she smiled sadly.

Please, no.

"Isabella, it's not your fault." Uncle Luigi said.

"He's not dead, he's not dead. He can't be dead!' I yelled and trashed and Lorenzo got up and hugged me.

(Go, I got her.) "Vai, l'ho presa." he said and everyone slowly got out.

"He's not dead. He's not dead." I yelled and kept trashing around but Lorenzo just hugged my tighter.

"I can't- I- No- He's-" I started getting trouble breathing. and Lorenzo took my face in his hands.

"Bella, you're having a panic attack I need you to calm down. Please just feel my heart beat-" He placed my hand on his pulse. "-Try to match it, cariño. Just relax, I got you. You're not alone and you'll never ever will be again." He whispered and I found myself slowly relaxing.

I went limp in his arms and he lifted me carefully up so he was sitting behind me. he laid me against his chest and started to play with my hair.

"You're okay. I got you." He whispered as he kissed my forehead.

"I killed him." I breathed out.

"No. The driver did and he's taking care of. You did nothing, Bella. It's not your fault, I swear it's not." He said but he knew nothing could make up my mind.

"Please don't do this to yourself." He whispered as he moved my hair behind my ear.

"Why the DNA-test?" I asked all of a sudden. "You saw her in real life in court, you had no reason to not trust me. Why did you do it."

"I don't know." He whispered out.

"You think that's a good enough answer?!" I jumped up but winced at the pain in my hip and shoulder. I ignored it " Get up, I wanna face you!" I said and he did as I told him.

Can't move my body so gotta give old Lorenzo the commands.

"I trusted you! Do you know how hard it was for me to trust after everything I've been through?!" I yelled.

"Isabella, I do and I'm so sorry-"

"No you don't! God Lorenzo you don't! The worse part is that it didn't stay at one time!" I yelled. "You know I really hate you." I whispered and he sucked in a breath.

"I wanted revenge for what you did to me, Lorenzo. I wanted to run away from you, I wanted to disappear and never come back. I wanted to hurt you." I whispered the last part. " And I hate you so much. I hate you for making me care so much, I hate you for breaking my trust and I hate you for the fact that I can't seem to hurt you.

No matter how hard I try, I can't. I care too much and I hate you for it. I hate you for making yourself irreplaceable. Because every time I hurt you, it seems to hurt me as well." I cried, my eyes all red and puffy. "I hate that I can't hate you." I whispered.

"I'm sorry." He whispered. "the only thing dad asked me to do was to keep his children safe, and the moment I saw you for the first time in ages at our dining tablet I was over the moon. I thought my job was partly done but I didn't know it was only just begun. I didn't realise I was hurting you until it was too late. I remember being so proud of you for not accepting apologies, for being strong.

The only thing was that those were my apologies and I never hated myslef as much as I did then. As I do now. I lost you and I lost a part of myself. The fact that I went so far without noticing means I lost myself and I did everything while you didn't talk to us to find myself again. Maybe some slaps from grandma and grandpa helped, but the fact is that I'm so sorry and I know nothing is going to make it right but maybe, just maybe we can try it one last time." He breathed out while tears run over his cheek.

"One last time." I whispered back and a huge smile appeared on his face.

"God Isabella, I won't screw this up, I promise." He said as he took a step forward and hugged me.

"You better not." I chuckled while crying.

"You have any pain from all that yelling?" He asked softly.

"My shoulder is being a bitch and my head is joining her." I groaned and he laughed.

"Here, that will help for the headache. The doctor said it's normal you'll feel pain in your shoulder and hop for the following weeks. You need plenty of rest for it to heal." He said as he gave me a glass of water and a pill.

"Good because I could sleep a whole winter through right now." I jawned.

"Can I-" he asked and I cut him off.

"Get your sorry ass here before I change my mind." I sighed and he smiled. He lifted me up, making sure he wasn't hurting me in any way.

He got behind me and I leaned back.

"I must say, I missed your cuddles. They're the best. Together with Emilio and Matteo. Oooohhhh can we do a movie night when we get home?" I said sleepy excited.

"Cariño, get some sleep." He chuckled. " And I'm sure everyone will love the idea of having a movie night." He whispered as he kissed my head.

I closed my eyes and let sleep take over me.

I finally forgave them and I feel so much lighter. I can't wait to finally spent more time with my family. I missed them. Sure Lorenzo need to bear a lot more tantums but he'll manage.

I'll need to scold the grumpy club tomorrow too, especially Rocco and Rodrigo. Lord have merci on them because I won't.

Everyone got a copy of the letter so they could try to crack it. We already have a meeting in three days to see if we can puzzle an answer together and I can't wait to crack it all.

I can't believe Santiago is gone. I don't think the words sunk in yet, but I do know I'll break once they do.

Lorenzo told me his funeral is after the meeting, how wonderful.

He's gone because of me and nothing will change my mind. I killed my cousin and I need to live with it. Doesn't mean the other people responsible for his death won't suffer.

I'll sort out a revenge plan for Santiago with Katie and the boys tomorrow. We'll find these mother fuckers and show them what Isabella mother fucking Castillo does when you mess with her and her family.

And they better sleep with four eyes open.

Because this girl wants blood.

HEYYA

okay so my planning because no one asked and Katie wasn't listening: Week that begins tomorrow, studying studying studying

Next week literally two test or more a day.

Next week all assignments :(

Then a week to study and then EXAMS WOHOOW.

Note the fucking sarcasm.

Okay so its getting busy but we do not care, I'll try to keep writing as much as I can.

I hope the chapter was bearable as we all pretend I proof read this :)
