Song ~ Mr. Forgettable - David Keshner



It's mother fucking Monday. I have to go to stupid ass school. Man fuck this shit. I slam my head into my pillow to muffle the sound of my alarm blasting.

I will fucking kill myself.

It's currently 6:00 AM. I was already up but had set an alarm just incase last night.

Despite not wanting to go, I get up out of bed and do my morning routine in the bathroom. Teeth, shower, face, add mascara, cause I will be around a lot of people today.

I wrap a towel around me and walk to my closet. I put on some black leggings and green zip up jack with a black crop top underneath. I put on my black and white converse- my favorite pair.



Once I'm done, it's about 6:30 AM so I head downstairs.

Joanna has breakfast already made and on the table. I thank her with a nod of my head.

Domino and Sebastian are already here like always. Elijah walks in not too long after me. Ares and Luca walk down the stairs having a conversation.

Giavanna comes in after them typing something on her phone. She sets her phone in her pocket and greets all of us.

Matteo has yet to show up, he probably overslept.

Just as Elijah gets up to go get him, he comes stumbling down the stairs but tripping on the last step and face planting with a huge thud.

I'm trying so hard to hold in my laugh but i couldn't help it, a low laugh escaped my lips but stops the second I realized what I did.

Everyone turns to look at me and I just stare at them. I mean, I laughed so what? It's not like I spoke.

It's not that I'm afraid to speak, it's more of the fact that when i did speak I would always be annoyed or face consequences. I would be silenced.

Anytime I talked no one listened, no one cared about what I had to say, they just wanted to keep me quiet. I was unheard.

Yes I would love to be able to talk freely, but I just can't will myself to do that, to speak freely anymore. Maybe one day.

By now everyone is looking at me, even Matteo from the floor. I just stare back at them while picking up my fork and beginning to eat my food. I mean come on, it's a laugh. It's not like I spoke.

"Alright let's eat" Sebastian says, effectively taking the attention off me. Thank you.

~/~/~/~

Breakfast was silent, no one spoke or anything- well except when Matteo spilled ketchup all over his shirt that was meant for his eggs.

Gross.

When we were all done Matteo, Giavanna, and me made our way to the garage. Matteo got in a black Lamborghini, Giavanna in the passenger seat.

I chose to get on the bike I rode the other day with Ares.

I really wanted to be myself just to be left alone with my thoughts and to have a nice peaceful ride by myself.

It was about a twenty minute drive to school so it wouldn't take too long.

Just a time to clear my head.

~/~/~

I pull up to school, a lot of kids staring curiously at me. I just ignore all of their whispers before opening my phone to answer a message from Lucian.

Matteo and Giavanna pull up next to me, I just glance that way before finishing my message and pocketing my phone.

"Hey, do you wanna come with me to meet my friends?" Giavanna questions sending me a reassuring smile.

I shake my head softly, taking my phone out and typing something. 'I'm fine, thanks though' I handed her my phone.

"Of course, if you change your mind just shoot me a text." She replies heading over towards her friends.

I mean, I'm probably never come back here. I'll just skip everyday.

"Hey, come to my table at lunch, my friends would like to meet you!" Matteo says cheerfully running off to his friends.

I shake my head smiling before heading through the double doors and start following the sign to the office.

I walk through the office doors to see a rather sweet lady.

"Hi dear, Are you new? I haven't seen you around." I nod.

"Great, Can you tell me your name so I can get your schedule?" She asks politely.

I give a really small smile. It drops as soon as it came.

'Diovanna De'russo.' I wrote on my phone.

"Ok! Your brother did tell the teachers and staff that you were mute. We're happy you're here, Have a good day" the lady says handing me my schedule all happy and shit.

Why so dam happy? It's annoying as fuck.

Maybe you're just being bitchy you bitch.

Yeah maybe I'm going crazy talking to myself.

I make my way down the hall searching for D220. My first class just had to be math. I'm never coming back- nope.

Today my schedule is: Math Physics English Lunch PE Free period.

But tomorrow I will have a different schedule that's on the back of the paper because there are A and B days at this school.

Tomorrow's schedule is: Science Language Bio tech Lunch Art Free period.

I actually like tomorrow's schedule better. But right now I'm on my way to math.

Following all the signs and directions, I eventually make it to the supposed room D220.

i open the the door without knocking and hand the teacher my paper. She immediately understands who I am and tells me to take a seat in the back.

Mrs. Bush- the old lady teaching- was nice, pretty sweet and didn't seem like an old hag, like Lucia.

I just sit back near the window putting my head down and sleeping all through math. I don't feel like completing any math papers and the teacher doesn't seem to mind.

I guess math isn't so bad.

~\~\~\~

Physics and English were the same. All I did was sleep. No one seemed to care and I already knew the things they were teaching.

When class ended I started following those damn signs to the cafeteria.

I mean, at least I'm not lost.

I opened up the double doors, and started looking for my brother.

He was sitting at one of the back tables with a group of people. Giavanna seemed to be sitting in a different group with the girl known as Bethany and what I'm assuming is the rest of her friend group.

A lot of people were definitely staring at 'the new girl'- which is I- however I don't particularly care.

I take a seat In front of Matteo on the cafeteria chair.

"That's you others sister? She and Gia are totally different." One of the boys speaks up to Matteo.

Matteo just laughs seeming to agree with the boy.

"Hey gorgeous, I'm Easton one of Matteo's friends" a boy with sandy blonde hair, emerald green eyes, and well defined muscles in his shirt explains.

He holds out his hand to me and I shake it.

One of the others boys speak up after Easton, "I'm Jackson, another friend of Matteo" boy number two with chestnut hair and bright blue eyes tells me.

"Hola hermosa, the name is Diego" boy number three with dark fluffy brown hair and honey brown eyes says. [hello beautiful]

"Hey, you're really pretty. Has anyone ever told you that? Never mind, My name is Adrianna." She concludes. She has curly brown hair with brown eye that have specks of gold in them.

"This is my other sister Diovanna, the one I told you guys about. She's selectively mute so she will probably use her phone to communicate with you guys." Matteo explains to them for me.

"Thats fine, Matteo has said so much about you- all good things- and i couldn't wait to meet you. Can I see your schedule? Maybe we have some classes together." Adrianna says smiling at me.

I nod reaching into my bag and grabbing my schedule.

Adrianna takes the paper from my hands and begins scanning it over.

"It looks like we have both free periods, art, and science together." She smiles handing my paperback.

I return her smile.

Maybe school isn't so bad.

~/~/~/~

All of lunch they talked about random things, occasionally asking me questions to which I answered on my phone.

Adrianna told me about the teachers who we have classes together with. Art is basically another free period, and science is super easy.

She is actually really sweet.

The lunch bell rang and we all went our different ways for our next class.

I decided to skip PE and just have two free periods. I spent my actual free period with Adrianna which wasn't so bad.

When school had ended and the final bell rang, I waved by to Adrianna after giving her my number and made my way to my motorcycle.

The clouds look hella dark- like it was about to rain- so once I saw Matteo and Gia get out of school and head over to their car, I waved and started my bike up before speeding out of the school parking lot.

I don't mind the rain but I just prefer all my shit to not get wet.

I pull into the driveway managing not to get wet from any rain. A bright green Lamborghini was parked in the driveway, and I don't think that's one of my brothers because I've never seen it before.

Parking the bike in the garage, I went inside.

Some voices were coming from the living room so I made my way there. And to my surprise my best friend, his brother and my brothers were all just standing in the living room talking.

Lucian spotted me out of the corner of his eye and sent me a smile. I walked up ignoring the stares from my siblings and wrapped my best friend in a hug. It feels like it's been years since I've seen him.

"I missed you so much Dio." he exclaims. When I make no move to let him go, he speaks, "Darling I'm not going anywhere you can let go" he says to me softly.

I let go and smile sheepishly at him.

'I thought you wouldn't be here till the end of the week?" I sign questioning what he had told me previously.

"Antonio got us here a little earlier than he first said. Wanted to surprise you." Lucian exclaims happily.

I turn to Antonio and thank him for getting my best friend to me.

"Wait, you know each other" Domenico asks.

It is only then that I remember Sebastian, Domenico, Elijah, Ares, and Luca are here. Oops. Not oops I don't care.

Lucian speaks up for me,"We both met at the boarding school, she was about six or seven and I was about seven or eight, we just became best friends" Lucian gives them a brief explanation.

Giavanna and Matteo open the front door heading to the living room like I previously did.

"So I told Bethany he lied-" Giavanna cuts her sentence short seeing the guest here. "Who is that?" She asks with a flirty smile, asking about Lucian.

No offense girl but he doesn't swing that way.

"I'm Lucian." He replies glancing at me before offering his hand to shake hers.

Yeah so he might not be over her getting me in trouble-

She shakes his hand before moving back next to Matteo.

Lucian nods his head towards Lucian, "My names Lucian- yours?"

"Matteo, nice to meet you." Matteo responds shaking hands with Lucian.

Well this is nice.

~\~\~\~

We are all sitting around on the couches, the older brothers talking about business while Matteo, Giavanna, Lucian, and I converse about random things. Well them more than I, I just sign and Lucian translates.

I tug Lucians arm gaining his attention. 'We need to talk, I've got to tell you something' I sign to him.

He nods understandingly,"Alright, well we're gonna go catch up about life- yeah." Lucian tells them before we dash up to my room.

I told him everything about how things have been here since I got home, what happened at the mall, and the plan I have to kill Shadow-Hunter soon.

I just hope he is on board.



I look at my sister's retreating figure about to say something about the door being open when Antonio's voice stops me.

"Don't worry he doesn't swing that way" he says noticing my face. Gia groans at that.

Antonio and me have been friends since we were young. His mother was Italian and his father was Spanish so that's why he has an Italian name.

I trust him with my life.

"So Lucian and Diovanna went to the same boarding school?" I question wanting to confirm it.

"Yes, it was the worst mistake of my life putting my little brother in there. I thought maybe i could at least call him and talk but we couldn't even do that." He starts sadly.

"Does she ever talk about what happened there?" He questioned hesitantly.

"No she won't say anything other than it was school and nothing special" I told him honestly.

"I shouldn't tell you this, it's not my place. It's just that Lucian told me the ice on the surface about it, and- I- fuck i shouldn't" he rambles on.

"Tell us what?" Domenico questions impatiently.

"I- uh- you didn't hear this from me Seb. I mean it. If she finds out I told you, she will tell Lucian, and I just got my brother back. I'm not losing him" Antonio says, tone laced with threat.

"You have my word" I tell him honestly.

He sighs before starting. "Lucian told me they used to hit them, make them do things they didn't want to do, bad things" Antonio says hesitantly.

Everyone takes a harsh intake of air.

Before any of us could speak, Diovanna comes down the stairs dragging a grumpy but a small smiling Lucian behind her.

They walk past us and to the back door of the house, we all look confused since it's raining.

Looking out the window near the back door, the sight I see has my heart melting.

There my baby sister is dancing in the rain smiling wider than I've ever seen.

I promise, I won't let anything happen to you, even if it cost my life.



The rain is such a beautiful thing.

Most people describe the rain as dark and gloomy but I think it's beautiful. It washes away the dirtiness of the world allowing things to grow and be reborn.

Dancing in the rain washes me clean. It takes their hands off of me. I'm finally clean.

Dancing with my best friend, the one by my side for everything just makes it all so much better.

I don't know if my face is wet because of my tears or because of the rain but I'm not complaining.

I'm letting go.

This is me trying to live.

Trying to be free.

If only it could stay this way.
