Family means forever

Part Two -Chapter Nineteen

He leads me through the cell floor again, and up through a long, spiral staircase. We continue walking through some long halls, my eyes fall onto the multiple dead bodies laying on the floor here and there.

"Don't look at them" Vince orders, turning my head away from them with his hand.

Finally, we reach the outside. More dead bodies sprawl across the parking lot and multiple cars are smashed up.

We walk towards the black Mercedes jeep, I can't help but still feel on edge. Like somebodies going to sneak up behind me and steal me. With that thought in my mind I inch closer to Vince who seems to notice my discomfort.

"Are you okay" he asks.

No. The honest answer would be no, I'm not okay at all. I don't know what it is but there's a constant feeling in my chest. One that's hard to explain, it's like a pain yet it feels empty at the same time, is that anything to do with what has happened?

Deciding not to put my burdens on my brothers I go with the answer

"I'm fine"

Vince looks at me skeptically, knowing full well I'm not fine. But he decides not to continue asking questions, for now.

"W-where's everyone else?" I ask, my eyes darting around the surrounding area, making sure nobody is there.

"They're finishing off some business inside, just clearing the place up" He says.

I nod and move even closer to Vince, if that's even possible. He opens the car door for me and I immediately get in.

He gets in beside me and I instantly sit right beside him.

"Hey, Evanna" he says softly.

I look up at him.

"Nobodies going to hurt you, you're safe" he says.

Tears build up in my eyes again, I've heard that before and I did get hurt.

"You've said that before and I-I did get hurt" I say, letting out a sob.

Vince sighs, and rubs a hand over his face.

"I know and I will never forgive myself for what I chose to do, I should have never brought you with me" he starts "my stupidity had a consequence and unfortunately that was you getting taken"

He takes my hands and holds them tightly, giving them a small squeeze.

"What I can assure you though is that, that will never happen again. I promise you, with all my heart, you are safe and that nobody is going to hurt you" he says.

"O-okay" I answer, leaving my head down onto his shoulder.

Part of me wants to believe Vince, it really does but I just can't. He promised me before that I would never get hurt and I did. I know that I shouldn't think like this but I can't help it, I know that Vince and the rest of my brothers would protect me from anything but what if next time it's worse, what if next time they can't get to me.

Around ten minutes later the door to the car opens and I jump, nearing myself to Vince.

"Hey, it's okay, it's only your brothers" he whispers gently, wrapping an arm around my shoulders.

I give him a nod.

The rest of my brother enter the car and make a big fuss, they all immediately start hugging me and questioning me and it all begins to feel overwhelming.

"Evanna, we were so worried" Grayson says with a small smile.

"Sorry" I answer, not really knowing what else to say.

"There's nothing to be sorry about" Blake says, turning around in his seat to face me.

"I'm so glad you're okay sorellina" Rocco says.
(Little sister)

"That's enough everyone, Evanna has had a tough few days and it's probably all very overwhelming for her. So let's stop with the fuss" Vince says, which I am extremely thankful for.

The car soon goes into a calm silence, and we begin to drive off. Now and I again I glance out of the window to see a white Audi following us.

"Vince, someone's following us" I say quietly, biting at my nails.

"There's no need to worry Evanna, it's only Alfonzo and your cousins" he says.

I nod as the small relief fills my body, at least we're not being followed. We arrive back at home and Vince helps me out of the car. We all walk into the the living room and I immediately sit down, I've missed this.

My eyes light up when I see the familiar figure walk in from the kitchen. It's Xander. He hobbles over with a small smile.

"I'm so glad you're okay bambina" he says, sitting beside me.

I cuddle into his side, being extra careful of where his injury previously was.

Everyone else soon arrives into the living room and all eyes are in me. I already know I'm not gonna like what's going to happen next.
