Tuesday 4th January 2023. 8pm.
After the introductions I learnt one fact about everyone and in return they got to learn one about me. This took pretty much the whole day.
I learnt that mamma has her own clothing brand called Bella.
Papa is in medical school learning how to be a trauma surgeon. Apparently he just wants a degree to be proud of. That's pretty cool.
Max owns his own restaurant and he said I can work there after I mentioned wanted to work at some point.
Elijah is a tech wizard! He said if I wanted him to he could hack into the government website and make me non existent. I guess they haven't done a background check on me because if they had they'd know that to the world Aurora Costello doesn't exist.
I learnt Ronan is deaf in on ear and Roman is blind in one eye after an accident. I didn't ask any questions but I think I already know that story.
I learnt Ace is a pro undefeated fighter, I reckon I could beat him though.
Asher is mute by choice, I would be too if I didn't have so much to say all the time.
And Aaron doesn't speak much because he's had a tough life. That only interested me more and now I want to know everything about ace Asher and Aaron. I can tell Aaron is hiding something huge and I will find out.
I learnt Arlo is an ice hockey player hoping to make it pro. Like Leo and luc.
And I learnt that my twins have sticks up there asses and didn't want to get involved in the activity.
Although the older triplets intrigue me a lot. I've noticed my twins are very closed off. It only interests me more.
I told them that I can speak 15 different languages. I just didn't tell them which ones.
After our bonding session I felt like I knew all of them a bit better. We went up to the games room and I was starting to get a bit tired so I watched them play a game they called COD Arlo explained to me what it was about and that it's actual name is call of duty. I'm going to learn how to play and then I'm going to beat all of them.
I am very competitive.
8pm rolled round fairly quickly and it was time for dinner.
We all made our way to the dining room, which I hadn't seen until now.
Safe to say my jaw hit the ground.
The dining room (I know it's extravagant but you'll understand soon)
Why the hell do they need so many seats?
Everyone had sat down by now and I saw there was a space in between Aaron and Asher so I plopped down between them. I smiled at Elijah who was opposite me and max who was next to Elijah.
Mama came out with food and Dante was right behind her, Emilio behind him, they where holding loads of food. I could feel my mouth begin to water. They placed everything down and I watched as everyone began to choose their food and stack their plates up high. I caught mama's eye and she smiled widely.
I didn't move.
When I was living with Simone and Mark I wasn't allowed to eat. I had to sit at the table with them so if they needed anything I'd be there to get it for them. It was normally brandy or wine.
I didn't know I was shaking and spiralling into a meltdown until I felt rough fingers interlace with mine. I looked to my left and saw Aaron watching me silently. He had a look in his eye like her knew exactly what I was thinking.
By trying to avoid his gaze I looked down to my plate. My full plate. The one I hadn't filled with anything because I was panicking. I felt another pair of fingers interlace with mine and turned to my right to see Asher softly smiling at me. He nodded at the food wordlessly telling me to eat up.
Shakily I took my fork and twirled the Alfredo around my fork. I took a bite and fought with my life to stop myself from moaning out loud. This pasta was the best thing I had ever eaten in my life.
Ever.
I look up to see everyone ogling me. All 12 sets of eyes where on me again studying me.
Judging me.
I ignored their gazes and carried on eating this time not suppressing my moan. I went red and looked up, everyone was hiding there laughs by stuffing their mouths with food.
"Mama this is the best food I've ever had!" I exclaimed excitedly.
I looked at mama to see her crying. Why was she crying? Did I do something?
I backtracked my words while looking at everyone to see they where smiling looking content
Oh shit.
I called her mama.
"Oh Urm urrr I-I'm sorry Arabella I-Urm I. W-would you p-prefer me to call you m-ma'am?" I stuttered out. I was frozen and panicking I could feel my breath pick up and my eyes began to water.
Not now please.
Ronan caught my eye.
He could see right through me.
"Baby I've been waiting for 17 years for you to call me mama again. You never have to apologise for calling me mama, I love you so much my babygirl" mama voiced softly as she stared at me.
It's started now, I can't stop it.
It's coming.
Full force.
I choked back a sob and smiled at mama.
"T-t-thank you mama. Could s-someone show me to the b-basement" I stuttered, mentally exhausted from the past 24 hours nearly.
"Mi princessa why do you want to see the basement" papa said softly almost life he didn't want to know the answer.
"W-well isn't that w-where I'll b-be staying?" I choked out. Seconds away from letting my panic attack take over.
"Wow why would you be staying in the basement hermosa? Come I'll take you to your room come on" Arlo voiced with pity clear in his voice.
What the hell is wrong with me, I can't control my emotions right now.
Arlo walked me to "my room" and I kept shaking trying to level my breathing. It was not working.
We finally got to a room and I stepped inside.
It was beautiful.
I gaped at the space I get to call my own now and couldn't help but let a tear slip.
"I'll see you in the morning hermosa" I felt Arlo kiss the top of my head and I forced myself not to flinch at his touch. As he left I stepped inside the room and shut the door, choosing not to lock it behind me.
I searched the room quickly and saw a massive bed with loads of pillows, I looked to the right and saw to doors, peaking the the closest one to me I saw a massive white bathroom it was beautiful. Peaking through the second door I saw a another room, it had a wardrobe and loads of shelves but no clothes.
Is that a walk in wardrobe?
What do I need that for I have no clothes.
I sound so ungrateful.
I don't deserve this.
I don't deserve any of this.
Mark and Simone where right.
I'm nothing but a worthless girl who has nothing going for her. No one will ever love me or need me. I'm nothing but a burden.
With that I sunk down onto the floor of my new room and cried until I fell asleep.
I fell asleep in the corner of the room like I have every night for the last 17 years.
