Running ?? [UNEDITED]

Chapter 14: Playing

Drake's POV:

After Lila left, we all rounded on a very ashamed Xander.
"You've really messed up, Xander," Olly glared at our brother.
"Why the hell would you push her?" I demanded.
"I don't know!" Xander ran his hand through his hair, "I was worried for her! We've missed her entire life and now we find out she was hurt and she's not telling us why!"
Vito rolled his eyes, "Dude, we've known her for like two days. Do you really think she's gonna spill her life's secrets to strangers?"
Xander opened his mouth to retort but was interrupted by the most beautiful music I ever heard coming from the speakers.
"Lila," Olly said at once. I don't know how he knew, but we trusted him.
All six of us sprinted to the only music room connected to the speakers. We quietly snuck in and our jaws dropped.
There was our baby sister playing and singing the most beautiful sound we ever heard. We were all transported back to our past when our parents would play duets on the piano and we'd sit around and watch them. I missed them so much.
By silent agreement, we all sat on the brown couch and watched her.

Axel's POV:
Wow.
That was the only word I could use to describe Lila's music.
She poured her heart and soul into it, rendering all of us speechless as we relaxed on to the couch. The day she was taken was the darkest day of our lives. We not only lost our baby sister but our parents too.
She looked so much like our parents. I missed them.

Vito's POV: (I just realised that I haven't given Vito a proper introduction... especially in chapter 10. Sorry, I keep forgetting about him 😂 😅 he is 17 years old- idk if that's possible since Olly is 16 and Xander is 18 but just pretend, please)

I could feel pride welling up inside me upon hearing Lila play. I never knew she was so talented. But then again, I'd missed her entire life due to some low life scumbag taking her away. I plan to make it up to her, somehow.
The others don't know this but I'm actually very musical. I can play several instruments and I have an okay sounding voice. I haven't told anyone this because it doesn't fit in with the 'bad boy' persona.
I have a faint memory of my parents singing to me. For some reason, Lila reminded me of them.

Olly's POV:

I leaned my head against the back of the sofa and closed my eyes, allowing the music to wash over me. Lila sang with such raw emotion it astounded me. I wanted to go up there and hug the life out of her and promise her that everything would be okay.
But I can't promise that.
When our enemies find out about her, they will try to kidnap her.
I pushed the negative thoughts away and focused on the music.

Xander's POV:
Once again, I have made my sister cry. I feel like the worlds worst brother. I noticed the tears falling down her face and I wanted to run up there and wipe them away and apologise a million times for all the times I messed up.
She sang with so much feeling, I knew she was thinking about something in her past. I don't know what happened, but I doubt it was good.
From now on, I will try to be the best brother possible. It will be hard due to my anger issues but I will try.
Sighing, I closed my eyes and listened to the sweet voice of our Princess.

Alessandro's POV:

Out of all my brothers, Lila's disappearance hit me the hardest. I was the oldest, it was my job to make sure she was safe and after just a few hours, I failed.
I became cold and distant towards everyone but my family. I submerged myself in gang work and spent every free minute looked for Lila.
When Drake first introduced her, I wanted to sob with relief and happiness. After so many hard years, she was finally home.
I decided to be less cold and hard and show my brothers and sister how much I care for them.
Wow, what was this kid doing to me? I've barely known her two days and she's already making me want to change.
Lila finished her heart melting song and seemed surprised to see us all there.
"Um. How long have you been there?" She asked, a light blush forming on her cheeks.
"Long enough," I replied, my voice slightly hoarse with emotion, "that was amazing."
My brothers nodded in sync and that made Lila turn red, "I haven't played in years," she mumbled, "I'm slightly rusty."
"You were great," Xander proclaimed, "and I'm sorry for pushing you earlier." We all looked at him in shock. Xander never apologises. Like never.
Lila smiled, "it's fine. I forgive you," she definitely got the forgiving nature from our mother, "what now?"
"You ever played Football?" Olly asked, his eyes gleaming.
"A little," Lila shrugged, "why?"
"Come on, let's play in the garden," Olly moved to grab Lila's had and she flinched ever so slightly. It was too subtle for anyone to notice but me.
I frowned. What had happened to Lila in her past?
End of chapter 14
Well, that was a long chapter. I hope you guys liked it! The next chapter will be about the football match. What do you think will happen then?
