Lorenzo

"Lorenzo drive faster! She blacked out!"

My eyes went wide. "How do you mean she blacked out?" I said while pressing harder on the gas pedal. Screw speed limits, it's not like the police will give me a fucking warning, those mother fucker don't even dare to look at me.

"How do you mean how do you mean she blacked out? It's not like she fucking turned black! She blacked out, you know, closing your eyes but still breathing, sleeping but in a bad way, not responding but still alive-"

"Alright alright I get it I get it! Emilio, call the medical. They need to be ready when we're there. Matteo keep her fucking alive I don't care if she has a cold or she blacked out, you keep your eyes on her and make sure she's okay! Rodrigo get extra men to surround the building. Riccardo help Matteo when the car stops."

Dammit this is all my fault. I should have brought her the first moment I saw her ribs, but no, I needed to know what happened and I need to break my sister's trust to do so. Idiot, idiot, idiot.

"Trust you? Trust you?! How can you expect me to trust you? You know for a successful and respected businessman you're pretty dumb."

She was right, I hate it when she's right. And she's almost always right.

I miss her already, her voice, her laughs, her sassy comments. I don't even know from who she got the sass, all I know is that she has a lot of it.

Finally the medical was at the end of the road.

"Get ready boys." I parked the car and immediately got out. Matteo was caring Isabella, Riccardo was getting all of our stuff, Emilio was running to open the door, Rodrigo was ordering the guards what to do.

Matteo gave Isabella to me and ran before me so he could put on his doctor shit. We ran with Isabella in my arms into the building. Everywhere we go, people bowed their heads to us in respect but then gave us a shocked expression when they saw the unconscious girl in my arms.

All my brothers and I gave them all a glare at the exact same time what made them scared and walk away. We finally got into the right department and Matteo turned around.

"Give me five minutes."

"Hurry the fuck up Matteo." He nodded as he ran in a random room.

We all sat into a chair, me holding Isabella close to me. I looked at her face. I could feel tears coming up, her face was in a painful expression, her arms wrapped protectively over her ribs. You could see the bruises on her arms and legs and that's when it hit me.

I never asked myself what it would be to be in her place. I just putted more pressure on her, I never let her cry out, let her talk, or even listened to her. I swear Bella, I'll make it up to you. So much for being a good big brother Enzo.

Enzo...

She's the only one who's allowed to call me that. Fun fact is that she called me that as soon as she could speak. She never called me Lorenzo. And since then, no one was allowed to call me Enzo. Without knowing this, she called me Enzo and I was so happy. Over a stupid nickname.

A stupid nickname that meant the world to me...

"Alright, put her on the bed Lorenzo." Matteo said rushing in. We all entered the room. Well we tried.

"I'm sorry guys, you can't come in. Lorenzo put her on the bed and let us do our jobs okay? Get something to eat while you wait and get some water okay? I'll handle it."

And just like that I stood in front of a closed door without Isabella in my arms.

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

Isabella

I slowly open my eyes but as soon as I opened them, I close them back again. Dang that light is blinding.

"Isabella? Are you awake?"

"M-Matteo?" I tried to open my eyes again and when I did I saw a worried Matteo standing besides me.

"Oh dear god, I'm glad you're awake. You passed out on the road to the medical. How are you feeling?"

"Like shit. Everything hurts." I heard a soft chuckle coming from Matteo.

"I know hermana, let me get you some water first okay?" He filled up a glass with water and gave it to me. My hands were shaking and the water was spilling everywhere.

"Let me get that." He took the glass and placed it against my mouth. I slowly drank the water down and thanked him afterwards.

"So what did you find out?" I asked in a hoarse voice.

"As you probably figured out, your body is exhausted, you will need lots of rests, water and food. You're probably catching up with some sleep so it's normal in the next few days you'll feel sleepy 24/7. Than for your wounds-"

"You have four bruised ribs, your shoulders are just badly bruised, nothing wrong with the joint the bones, which is good. Put some ice on it now and then and let it rest.

As for your ribs, you're going to need to take painkillers and put ice on your ribs. I placed a rib brace, it will help you with moving without pain. When you feel your ribs, please tell me. I'll place some warm towels on it so your muscles will relax and it will help the pain.

Rest is a must, young lady, plenty of rest. I also saw the burn mark on your thigh, I treated it with some burn ointment. I'm going to need to treat it every day for about two weeks. Then the wounds on your arms and legs are healing properly. I just need to make sure they stay clean so they heal quickly and don't leave any scars. Your back-"

Matteo took a deep breath "-your back will need more time to heal. Some wounds were igniting but I have treated them. Some are very deep, I cleaned them out but I am afraid they will leave scars. I'll also have to rub them with an ointment every day and make sure they don't start to ignite again. Let me know when they hurt, okay?"

I nodded taking all this information in. Logan left scars on my back... I knew not all of them would fully heal but hearing it from a doctor's mouth... That shit hurts.

"Do our brother know about this?"

"Yes, they know everything. They're actually waiting to come in. Are you okay with that or do you need a little more time? Maybe you want to take some rest? It's up to you. I won't tell them that you're awake if you want to take a nap first." Matteo said with concern all over his face.

"I'll be fine Matteo. Could you please send them in? I actually missed those idiots." Matteo let out a chuckle, turned around and unlock the door.

"Hey Matteo?" He turned around.

"Thank you, for everything. Thank you for wanting to take care of me. I appreciate it."

"That's my job as your brother hermana. I will always take care of you, always."

"I know Teo, I know." His eyes light up when he heard his nickname.

"You trust me... That means the world to me little sister." He send me an air kiss or whatever you call that. He walked to the door, opened it and put his head through it.

"She's awake, you better be careful and quiet, she's still weak." I heard footsteps running to the door.

"I said carefully you bunch of idiots! She's exhausted and weak, do not give her a headache too."

Quietly, four other boys entered my room. They all had the same emotions, relief, sadness and anger.

"Hey there loca, welcome back on earth." Emilio gave me a small smile. I chuckled but because of my hoarse voice, all their faces soften even more.

"Does it hurt bad?" Riccardo asked while taking my cold hand in his warm ones.

"Of course it hurts you fool." Rodrigo slapped the back of Riccardo's head.

"It hurts like a bi-" Lorenzo gave me a look 'don't you dare to finish that sentence' and I tried to save myself.

"bite of a snake...?" They all started laughing.

"Nice safe Isabella." Teo chuckled. I rolled my eyes.

"Teo, Teo, Teo, did I mentioned to call me Bella?"

"You didn't actually."

"Oh, my bad. Well now you know." I gave him a small smile followed by a sigh. "I know you want some answers. And even if you don't actually deserve them... I'm willing to give some of them. But you can not force me." I emphasized 'can not'.

"I think we all learned our lesson, Bella. I'm just glad that you're okay. I called your school and I told them you're not coming the first two weeks. We'll pamper you the whole month until you're strong enough to go to school." Lorenzo said while giving me a small smile and Emilio was grinning like a boy who just scored his first goal.

"That's good with me, I get to skip two weeks of school." Everyone started laughing. I laughed too but stopped when I felt a shock of pain in my ribs.

"Take it easy Bella, you're ribs are way worse than they seem." Matteo said while rushing to me to check if everything was okay.

"They even feel worse." I said with pain in my voice. All eyes soften and I swear I saw a tear in the corner of Emilio's eye. Must be my imagination.

"You're staying three days in the medical, then you're going home with us. In a week is the trail and we'll be right by your side."

Shit the trail. I'm so not ready for that.

Lorenzo took a chair and placed it besides the bed I was on.

"I'm going to start with some basic questions okay? If you don't want to answer them, don't." I nodded and everyone took a deep breath. These idiots probably knew the questions already.

"Was it only Logan who... did this to you?" Lorenzo carefully asked. I saw that his eyes hoped that it was only Logan. I'm sorry brother.

"No." Everyone stiffened at my answer and I could see Lorenzo's hand turning into fists.

"Do you want to tell us who?" I took a deep breath. You can do this, Isabella. They're your brothers? It's not like they're going to drug you again? Fuck that's sounds really bad.

"Sometimes when his friends came over they punched me once or twice, not too much. Logan did all the big damage."

"Did your mom knew about this?" He asked with no emotion

"Y-yes." Emilio and Riccardo gasped. Matteo held his hands before his mouth,Rodrigo looked like he was ready to kill and Lorenzo balled his fists again.

"She-" Come on Bella, just say it. "She used to stand by and watch him... do things to me. She always smiled when I was in pain. Like she... enjoyed it."

"Did she ever-" Lorenzo closed his eyes, holding back his anger. "-touched you?"

"You mean did she ever punched me or worse? You can say it Enzo." Enzo let out a sigh. He looked into my eyes, telling me to answer. I looked away from his eyes, from everyone's eyes.

"Yes."

Lorenzo was breathing heavy, Rodrigo was punching the wall and Emilio was clenching his fists. Riccardo was sitting with his head in his hands, letting out angry noises once in a while. Matteo was pacing while facing the wall.

"How?" Emilio asked, facing me. I couldn't look him in the eyes so I stayed looking at the floor.

"Before Logan came she... she always said I was useless, a brat, a whore, a pain. When Logan came she slapped me for the first time. I was eleven. She hardly ever slapped me, but it happened."

"Okay take a little break Isabella. Rodrigo, Riccardo get some food. It's 9pm, dessert time. Emilio, Matteo get some beds and extra security. We're staying here tonight." They all nodded and left the room.

"One last question, Bella. I just didn't want them to hear this okay?" He asked me when everybody left. I nodded, still looking down.

"Hey, look at me. I want to see those beautiful eyes." He gave me a small smile and lifted my chin so I was facing him.

"Did Logan ever... touched you in an inappropriate way?" My eyes grew bigger as I understood what he was asking me.

Did Logan ever rape me?

"No." I saw Lorenzo relax as he heard my short answer.

"Thank god." He gave me a kiss on my cheek, then on my head, then on my nose. I let out a giggle when he kissed my nose.

"Thank you for answering cariño. And I'm sorry for my past mistakes."

"If you want me to forgive you, I'm going to need lots and lots of food. And when I mean lots, I mean a lot." Lorenzo shook his hands while smiling.

"You never fail to surprise me Bella." He gave me an actual smile. An actual smile. Lorenzo smiled. Now I've seen everything.

"Now you're going to stay here for a few days, anything you want me to bring you?" Lorenzo asked while sipping some water.

"Food please." He almost choked on the water lol.

"Stop making me laugh young lady, you're jokes will be the death of me." He ruffled trough me hair. After a while Emilio and Matteo came back with three beds.

"We couldn't find a fourth one. I guess someone will need to share their bed. We also got some pillows and some more blankets. I think we'll be fine for tonight." Emilio shrugged and Matteo went to place the beds all around the floor.

After the set up the beds Riccardo and Rodrigo came in with food. Lots of food.

"I missed you guys so much!"

"Awww thanks Bella-" Riccardo said with his hand on his heart.

"I was talking to the food you fool." I said with narrowed eyes. Everyone started laughing and Lorenzo shook his head while smiling, again.

"What are you waiting for? Gimmy gimmy gimmy!" I said reaching for one of the six bags with food.

"Here you go hungry." Rodrigo gave me a sack with my name on it. There was chocolate, candy, lays chips, McFlurries and some more fast food desserts. Come to mama sweeties.

"Isn't there one bed too less?" Rodrigo asked while sitting down on the bed besides me.

"Jup, someone is going to share." I looked to Lorenzo and pulled to his sleeve. He looked at me with a questioning look. When I smiled he knew what I was saying.

"I don't know cariño, you're still weak and you need all the rest you can get." He said to me with sad eyes.

"Please? Matteo can he sleep besides me? Please" I gave them my best puppy eyes. Works like a miracle.

"Fine, but don't put too much pressure on her Lorenzo." Score.

Everyone settled in their bed, Lorenzo picking me up and placing me between his legs. He wrapped his arm around my belly, right under my ribs. I leaned backwards so I was laying on his chest and he started to play with my hair.

"Who knew the Lorenzo, the oldest Castillo, made from ice, could be soft for his little sister." Emilio joked. I let out a small laugh and gave Lorenzo's palm a kiss. Everyone said 'Awwww' and I gave them a glare what made them laugh.

"Just like a pouting little baby. This is adorable." I heard the sound of someone making a photo and I saw that Matteo took a picture. Little piece of-

"Send it to me, send it to me!" Riccardo said while practically bouncing up and down.

"Ohhh, I want it as my background! Send it to me too." Emilio said while having the biggest smile on his face.

"I'll send it to everyone, don't worry." Teo said while grinning like a little child who just got a mountain of candy.

"Little pieces of shit." I whispered to myself. Lorenzo came closer to my ear and whispered back.

"Language."

I rolled my eyes and he gave me a smile and kissed my head. Having enough of those idiots, I open the bag with food and start eating my McFlurry. There was one with Oreo, one with smarties, one with Maltesers and one vanilla. Meh, I'll just eat all of them.

I started eating and making happy sounds. Everyone started laughing and Lorenzo signed Emilio to do something. Before I knew another picture was made.

"You have a little ice cream on your nose Isa. Looks good though." Rodrigo winked. Oh they know I can't do anything because I'm in a hospital bed. Just you wait brothers...

"Are you plotting against me brother?" I asked fake mad to Lorenzo.

"I would never cariño." He said while pinching my cheeks. I gave him a glare but he only smiled wider. I gave up and turned around. I crossed my arms and gave themmy best angry look. They laughed even more.

I started eating back again and enjoying my ice cream. The boys were talking about random topics. I just enjoyed eating and listened to their conversations. I learned that I'm going to the same school as the twins, they both played in the soccer team. Apparently all my brothers went to that school and they all were some kind of 'gods'.

Freaking amazing.

"So what did you do in your previous school Bella?" Matteo asked.

"I was in the girl soccer team, actually. I loved it." I saw everyone's eyes light up.

"No way! You can apply to our girl soccer team! They're doing tryouts the week you're coming to school!" Riccardo said with a high voice.

"I mean, cool." he said with a forced manly voice what made us all laugh.

"Sometimes I wonder how we are related, let alone twins." Rodrigo rolled his eyes and slapped his face.

"Oh come on Rigo, people would kill to have a twin, embrace it." I say throwing a pillow at him.

"Yeah Rigo, embrace me." Riccardo opened his arms and waited for his twin to hug him.

"Alright no one except Bella is allowed to call me Rigo you idiot." He throws the pillow I threw on him to Riccardo.

"You call me an idiot? We're twins you idiot." He threw the pillow back to Rodrigo.

"You just called me an idiot, idiot. What makes you also an idiot, but we all knew that." Rodrigo threw the pillow back to Riccardo.

"Alright enough you two. Let's watch a movie before I punch one of you." Emilio said with a glare. The twins immediately shut up and gulped.

"Emilio can be scary." I whispered to no one. Lorenzo chuckled and whispered 'I know' back.

"Hermana, what movie do you want to watch." Matteo asked while taking a remote control and press a random button. Out of no where, a huge ass screen starts coming up and my eyes went wider than ever.

"Holy cr-"

"Don't." Lorenzo gave me a stern command and I stopped myself from cursing. I coughed, trying to grab myself together again.

"I wanted to check out this movie for a long time now. I think it's called 'Now you see me' ?"

"That's an amazing movie! Let's watch it." Matteo said while giving me a kiss on my head. Riccardo was clapping his hands and Rodrigo was smiling. Emilio was messing Matteo's hair up what made me smile.

The movie started and I leaned more into Lorenzo's arms. He gave me a kiss on my head and rested his head on top of mine. The movie was just started when I felt sleepy again. Oh come on, not now!

I was fighting the sleep for about ten minutes now, when Lorenzo whispered in my ear:

"Don't fight it cariño. I'll be here with you, we all will. Go to sleep baby."

And just like that, I felt into a deep sleep in the arms of the person I trusted the most, and didn't trust the most.
