Ares's POV:

We are all in the dining room eating lunch with the "family".

I can't believe we went from just having each other to having a big family.

"So tell us about yourselves," Zia Isabella asked

"I'm surprised you guys don't recognise us," Cami said with a smirk

"Wait...you guys are those famous singer,dancer,models and chef!" Greyson exclaimed

We only smirked in response

"Oh my gosh we were so focused on the fact that we found you guys back we didn't even recognise you guys," Greyson continued in shock

The extended family was looking at us in shock while the immediate family was just quiet.

"Now you know something about us," Thea said

"How was your life before you guys came home," Stefano asked curiously causing us to tense up.

Before we could reply Marcello said,"I'm pretty sure it was amazing,I mean they are famous and have money,"

What.The.Fuck

"What did you just say," Apollo asked deadly calm but that was the last thing he was.

Hell broke loose

Third Person's POV:

The triplets and the twins were hurt about what Marcello said. It made them wonder if that's what their whole family thought.

"You don't know us," Athena said glaring fiercely at Marcello.

Athena and Ares are usually the calm ones but their past is a sore spot for all of them.

"Oh,but I do know you,you are just a bunch of spoilt brats," Marcello said glaring at them

"Marcello," Isabella scolded him

"Oh that's it," Camila said going to Marcello to give him a piece of her mind.

"You don't know us. You don't know anything we have been through. You don't know the pain we have felt and the things we have seen. You never had to worry about not having a meal for the next day. You-" Camilo put a hand in her shoulder cutting her off.

Everyone stared at Camila in horror not expecting her to say that.

That's not even half of it, they thought

The triplets and the twins looked at each other and said,"The difference between us is that you lived,but we survived," and walked out of the dinning room leaving their family in shock.

"What the hell dude," Greyson asked Marcello

"I don't know," Marcello said still in shock

"I just got my siblings back I don't want to lose them again," Greyson said

"Something happened to them Antonio said concerned

"Yeah,did you see the flash pain in their eyes when Cami spoke,no matter how much they tried to hide it," Alexander said.

"We have to earn their trust and let them tell us what happened ," Sofia said

Everyone nodded in agreement but they knew it was going to be a long journey.

A journey they were willing to take.

"Let go look for them and talk to them," Antonio said and everyone stood up to look for them

Meanwhile in the music room...

"I can't believe they would think so low of us," Ares said in disbelief when they entered the music room.

"I guess we were idiots to trust them," Apollo said.

They sat in silence,all of them in their own thoughts.

They were all wondering if they were wrong to trust their family. If their family actually cared about them.

"Let's play one of our songs to help us calm down," Camila suggested

They all agreed and walked to the piano to play their song Lovely.

Meanwhile their family was looking for them in the mansion but no one seemed to find them.

"Where are they," Everyone asked in unison extremely worried.

"Wait everyone keep quite," Aurora said

Everyone kept quiet trying to for anything suspicious.

"It comes from the music room," Xavier said.

They all walked to the music room and what they saw left them awestruck.

The triplets and the twins were playing their song 'Lovely'.

Camila and Athena started the song...

Thought I found a way Thought I found a way out (found) But you never go away (never go away) So I guess I gotta stay now

Oh, I hope some day I'll make it out of here Even if it takes all night or a hundred years Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near Wanna feel alive, outside I can't fight my fear

Isn't it lovely, all alone? Heart made of glass, my mind of stone Tear me to pieces, skin to bone Hello, welcome home

Then Ares, Apollo and Camilo sang...

Walkin' out of time Lookin' for a better place (lookin' for a better place) Something's on my mind (mind) Always in my head space

Then they all sang in unison...

But I know some day I'll make it out of here Even if it takes all night or a hundred years Need a place to hide, but I can't find one near Wanna feel alive, outside I can't fight my fear Isn't it lovely, all alone? Heart made of glass, my mind of stone Tear me to pieces, skin to bone Hello, welcome home Whoa, yeah Yeah, ah Whoa, whoa Hello, welcome home

(Song: Lovely by Billie Eilish)

After the song the triplets and the twins just stared of into space deep in their thoughts.

All the things they have been through with him started coming back and all of a sudden they were exhausted.

The triplets and the twins exchanged glances and the could see the world in their eyes.

I'm tired

They were tired of being strong when they are not. They are tired of the emotionless facade they always have. They are tired of carrying the world on their shoulder.

And most of all...

They are tired of surviving,for once they want to live

"Are you guys okay," Aurora asked seeing the glazed look in their eyes.

"Yeah," Ares said snapping out of the daze he was in.

Everyone glanced at Marcello telling him with their eyes to apologise.

"Look I wanted to say I am so sorry for treating you guys like shit since you got here. I just everyone was heart broken,I was heart broken when you guys got kidnapped and I didn't want to get close to you again so that I don't feel the pain when you guys leave. But I realise that's dumb because I can't live in the past but I can focus on the future. So I just want to say I am so sorry because I want to get to know my baby siblings. I also want to apologize to you Camilo and Camila because you guys just joined the family and I immediately treated you guys like shit I am so sorry," Marcello said speaking his heart with tears in his eyes which surprised everyone but one thing everyone noticed is the five new additions to the family was going to bring happiness in the De Luca family.

"We forgive you but don't ever do that again," Ares said speaking for all of them

Marcello nodded immediately happy they forgave him.

"We just wanted you guys to know you mean a lot to this family and we can't wait to get to know you guys better," Stefano said giving them a hint of a smile.

Making them smile taking them by suprise but the five of them know that their family is making a place in their hearts.

"Now let's go to the movie room and watch a movie together," Aurora said making everyone stand up and start walking to the music room.

The thought in the triplets and the twins head was...

Maybe for once we can start living...
