The next morning, I woke up early and took a shower still thinking of the events of yesterday. Maybe I'm just being paranoid for nothing

I got dressed in all black because that's how I felt inside. I slowly made my way to the dining room and everyone was already there. The room became quiet immediately they noticed me

"Good morning" I greeted and sat next to Bruno

"How are you feeling bambina?" Stephano asked and I shrugged

"I'm fine I guess" I mumbled and he sighed, offering a small smile

Time skip- at school We pulled up and got out from the car, making our way into school. I received alot of stares, probably from what happened yesterday. I was ten minutes early so I had some time to myself

I saw Alessio in the class and he was staring at me, I walked to my seat and sat down, resting my head on the table when I got a call from an unknown number

"Hello?" I said cautiously

"My Gabby dolly I see no one believed you huh. They won't even know it's me when I kill you and send you to your mother. Get ready because I'm coming for you" I heard Luke say and hung up before I could say anything

He's real, it's not a prank. Luke is really alive, my breath hitched and I tried desperately to control myself. How do I prove that he's alive

I could show my brothers the call log and they'll finally believe me. I checked my phone only to see it delete right infront of me

"What the fuck!" I growled in annoyance. I could see Alessio looking at me weirdly. Great now even the new guy thinks I'm crazy

"Sorry" I mumbled and placed my head on my desk as I felt my energy drain and my face paled

Soon the class door opened and Noah, Ethan and Landon walked in with worry etched on their faces

"Hey are you okay?. We saw you crying yesterday. God please tell us what happened, we'll kill whoever hurts you" Noah said and I smiled faintly

My heart warmed knowing I have such good friends. Should I tell them? No. I trust them but it's just really hard to touch that topic without getting emotional

"It's nothing, I was thinking about my mom and it made me really emotional because I'll never see her again" I said as I choked out a sob, I've been crying alot lately and I hate it

"Oh dear, don't cry. We're really sorry about your mom" Landon said and they all engulfed me in a tight yet comforting hug.

"You'll be fine baby, I can't lie and say I understand how you're feeling but I do know you'll be okay. After all you're my badass bestie" Ethan said jokingly and I chuckled

This is what I love about all of them, they always manage to make me laugh even when I'm at my lowest.

"Sorry but we have to get to class now" Landon said and I nodded. They all hugged me before they left

I could still feel Alessio's eyes on me but I don't have the energy to be bothered by him right now.

The teacher came in and started teaching but I couldn't concentrate on anything because of the call. I have never been scared of anyone the way I am of Luke.

I can kill any one at any given time but when it comes to Luke my blood runs cold. I can't function because of the fear he has instilled in me from a young age. Dear God, is this how I'm going to die, by the hands of a psychopath

I heard the bell ring and I left the class and headed to my friends who were already waiting outside the class for me. Nathan was the first to notice me and pulled me into a warm hug

"Hey babydoll, how're you doing?. We saw the commotion yesterday" he asked and I nodded weakly. I feel sick, badly

"Y-yeah" I stuttered and Blake frowned pulling me to him

"Are you okay?. You look really pale" he commented and I nodded

"I'm fine, just a little dizzy" I said

We started walking and all I could think about was Like and his threat. Soon I felt a familiar tightness in my chest and my head started throbbing. I tried to get some air into my lungs but nothing was getting in. Black dots tainted my vision and I clutched my chest tightly

"Gabriella! Oh my god are you okay?!" I heard someone call out. All the voices were mixed together and I couldn't make out who said what

"Look at me Gabriella what's wrong with you?"

"I think she's having a panic attack. Lexi go get her brothers!"

"Try and breath Gabriella please" I tried to listen to the person but my chest just got tighter and I soon blacked out

Stephano's pov I was sitting at the tree outside our class with my friends. We decided to skip class because it wasn't anything important. Our discussion was cut short when we saw a petit girl running towards us with red eyes

"The fuck are you doing here?!" Mason snapped at her and she flinched

"Calm down let her talk" Pedro said calmly eyeing the girl

"Your sister s-she-" she stuttered and I felt my heart sink drastically.

"Speak the fuck up!" I yelled at her

"She's having a panic attack, we don't know how to help her" she said through her tears and ran away

"Cazzo!" I grunted and ran towards the direction of the girl (fuck)

I walked through the halls and saw my bambina unconscious on the floor. She looks so pale, what happened to her?

"How did this happen?. What did you guys do to her!" I yelled facing her friends

"Dude calm down, think about your sister right now. She needs help" Pedro said and I took a deep breath before picking my sorella up.

'Please get better bambina'

Gabriella's pov When I woke up, I was in the nurse's office with my friends and brothers surrounding me

"Oh shit are you okay?. You scared the shit out of us" Blake said, moving to my side

"Bambina I hope you're okay. Emilio and Angelo are on their way" Stephano said as he caressed my hair

"We all get off school early today because of you so I owe you an ice cream" Matteo said and I laughed softly

"See I made her laugh coz I'm her favorite brother" he said proudly and patted his own back and Xander hit him hard on the head causing him to pout

"What happened bambina, does it have anything to do with what happened yesterday?" Diego asked

"M-mom" I stuttered

"Oh bambina don't cry, we'll talk about it at home" Bruno said and I nodded. My friends stared at me in confusion except the twins and Ethan

"What's going on?" Aaron asked but was pinched by Aria as a signal not go ask anything

"Ethan you guys tell them when I leave" I said and they all nodded. Just then the door burst open to reveal a disheveled Emilio and Angelo

"Are you okay?" Angelo asked and I nodded

"I'm absolutely fine" I assured him and he sighed in relief

"Alright thanks for helping our sister, we're grateful. Come over sometime, we'll be taking her home no, bye" Emilio said and carried me to the car. I said I could walk but he as usual, refused

"What happened?" He asked immediately we got to the car

"Luke" I said truthfully and he sighed, shaking his head

"We already told you, Luke is dead" he said exasperatedly. Emilio never lost his cool with me

"I'm telling the truth, he called me today and told me that he knew you wouldn't believe me. I wanted to show you all the call log bit it self deleted. Trust me" I said and he shook his head and looked at me in pity. I hate that

"Look maybe you should consider seeing a therapist" he offered and I looked at him in disbelief. He thinks I've lost my mind

"Bambina calm down" Angelo said softly and I casted him a harsh glare

"Oh my god you think I'm crazy! You think I don't know what I'm talking about. I know you don't believe me but I'm not crazy and I sure as hell am not gonna see a fuckin therapist" I said and got out of the car angrily

"Where the hell are you going, get back in the car so we can go home" Emilio yelled as I walked away

"Leave me alone, you shouldn't be around a crazy person" I yelled back and walked to Damon who was staring at me in shock

"Give me the car keys" I said with an outstretched hand

"Huh?"

"I said give me the fuckin car keys" I growled and he snapped out of his trance and handed the keys

"Be careful, I know you want to cool down but don't hurt yourself" he said softly and pulled me into a hug. I was too angry to care about the fact that he was actually hugging me

______________________________________ Hey y'all

Okay so I just want to explain something, I noticed that I've sorta left out her aunts, uncle's, grandma and grandpa out of the story for sometime now. But they don't serve as an important part of the story so I can't always add them into every part.

You will see them once in a while though just not as much as the other characters. I had to explain it because someone brought it up.

So do you think this mysterious person is Luke or someone else?. Let me know what you think in the comment section. Bye loves❤️.
