Elias yanked the old man and with a push he flew across the ground. My eyes widening in horror as I look up at Elias. He was livid.

My half eaten donut falls from my hands.

Oh no, oh no, oh no.

"E-Elias I-"

"What we're you thinking?" Elias grabs my hand and although he is mad his hold on me is still gentle.

So gentle that I wish he would've grabbed me harshly as I've done something bad.

Make up an excuse Angelica. Say something.

I look down at the floor, not able to face him or Romeo, "Elias-"

"I don't wanna hear anything from you right now Angelica, you're in trouble." My eyebrows pull together in hurt. He called me Angelica.

As Elias opens the car door I pull my hand away from him. The action is so fast his rings leave a burning sensation on my hand.

"What-what about Romeo!" I look back to see no Romeo in sight, nor the old man.

"Get in" Elias looks down at me. His voice is void of emotion.

A sudden emotion builds up in my chest. The urge to hit him or scream at him invades me.

I was just hungry.

I know what will happen if I go in that car.

I'll be abandoned again. The fear of that happening is much greater then anything.

I turn away from him to run but as soon as I make a try for it Elias gets a hold of my arm.

"No!" I scream at him. My loud scream surprising him since his hold on me loosens up. I take that as a chance to make a run for it.

Ducking down I run. Unfortunately my dumb feet trip over a rock and I fall on the concrete floor before I could get far enough.

I look down at my scratched hands. They weren't bleeding yet. Regardless of this my bones hurt from the impact.

Before I know it, Elias stands in front of me. His worried eyes making me mad again. Why is he worried. I've been bad. He's supposed to beat me up ir tell me off.

Elias crouches down, his hand streching out to get a hold of my scratched hand. His hand was now holding my wrist. I don't want him to see. I pulled and twisted, hurting his arm with my other hand, trying to make it impossible for him to see.

"I don't- I hate you!" I scream at him.

I didn't hate him, I loved Elias so much it terrified me.

"Leave me alone, I-I hate you!"

I feel Elias hold on me freeze for a split second. But just as soon as that happened he recovers and instead picks me up in a swift motion, puts me inside the car and closes the door.

Elias is outside, his back facing me. Hitting the window with my fist I yell at him mean things but he won't turn around. After a few seconds a man also dressed in a suit comes towards him. Elias tells him something that makes the man nod frantically. I watch as Elias walks out of sight.

I try to desperately open the door but it won't budge.

The man comes inside the car, making me go completely quiet. Scooting to the corner of the car I look out the window trying to see where Elias went. My lips start to wobble and hot tears build up in my eyes.

My heart is racing. I'm scared and angry. Why couldn't Elias drive!

The man starts driving and I just glare at him with blurry eyes.

...

Right when we get home the man who was driving leaves, soon disappearing into thin air.

I'm left alone for a few minutes. Looking down at my lap my hands are tightly closed together.

The door opens. I look up to see Elias. My anger spikes.

"Why...why would you do that!" I scream as I hit him repeatedly with my fist.

"Why would you leave me with that man!" My throat burns from the screaming.

Elias doesn't say or do anything. He just lets me hit him for a few seconds until he grabs both my wrist and pulls me inside the house. Right when we enter I see the twins and Macy glaring at me. Hard.

Elias doesn't stop to say hello or something he just continues to pull me upstairs.

My heart speeds up more and more.

As if realization hit me I try to get away. I'm no longer mad, no, I'm scared.

I start breathing heavily.

He's going to make me pack my things. He hates me now.

Stupid Angelica. You are useless.

"Elias?" I say shakily. Still trying to get away. This time from fear of being kicked out. Of being hated by him.

Elias opens the door to my bedroom and gently pushes me inside.

"Elias I-I'm..."

My eyes are wide in terror.

"I'm sorry Eli, don't leave me" My eyes fill up with tears once more. Elias doesn't spare me a glance as I shakily walk towards him and hold onto his suit. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I cry out.

It's to no use as he just pushes me back inside the room lightly and closes the door. Leaving me all alone.

My chest hurts, worse then the pain I felt when Mother rejected my love.

My hand reached out to him but it's was useless, he was gone.

I run to the door, and swing it open. As soon as I was about to step out I come face to face with her.

She smirks.

"Elias finally got tired of you huh" Macy says in a quiet tone, which makes her words hurt even more.

Don't say it like that, because it only hurts more.

Every time Macy would say mean things to me I always tried to turn away from her words. Kept ignoring them or just told myself she was acting like that because I came in and spent time with the people she loved. Now though, I let it hurt.

She's right, she's always been.

"Don't be sad, this was bound to happen Angelica. You are nothing but a curse to yourself"

'Don't you get it Angelia? you're someone who is unable to love or be loved...i'm the only one who'll love you the right way'

My breath hitched. I felt sick. So disgusting I wanted to rip my skin off.

Soon enough Macy left, leaving me completely shattered.

Slowly turning around I returned to my room and closed the door.

My knees go weak and I fall to the floor.

Don't abandon me, I wanted to tell Elias when he had closed the door. That action was so small yet I felt like everything crumbled down. Even after this i'm not allowed to say does words, to beg him not not to leave me anymore then what I did earlier. I put myself in this position.

Now, I  have to suffer the consequences.

...

Elias POV: 😧

When Romeo told me she left for no reason I was worried sick. So once we found her and I saw that man hurting her I was furious. So much I handled the situation badly.

I lead two mafias for goodness sake, I should've known better.

Romeo, Mateo and me were inside my office.

Romeo was smoking and Mateo was sitting down. Both staring at me.

I was on my 5th cigarette in the last hour when I promised I was going to reduce my smoking. Is not good for kids to be around that.

"Shit" I say in a mad tone. Mad at myself. I didn't know what to do, and I hated it. When it comes to fixing things with someone after an argument I never know what to do. Because i'm mostly never in the wrong. Now though, I am. I messed things up with Cecilia.

I hear Mateo sight. I see him walking towards me. He pulls the cigarettes away from me, "You both need to patch things up" I look up at my little brother. "She just stopped crying Elias. I know you heard her and I know it hurt you when she said does things but i'm sure she didn't mean it. I'm also sure you didn't mean harm with your actions"

I didn't. I was too focused on what she said I didn't notice what I was doing.

"So go now before is too late"

I look at Mateos hazel eyes. He's always been like this. Out of all of us he is the best brother. Before It would worry me as he was far too kind. Too good for us and the dirty business we were in.

Mateo never thought that way, he always loved us. We all know he doesn't like our work yet he still offers to help. That's Mateo just how he is. Someone who is able to give without expecting anything in return.

I just wish I could've given him and the rest of my siblings a better life. For then to grow up in a normal environment.

"Okay" I finally say, standing up and make my way downstairs to Cecilia's room.

She hasn't even been here for a week and I'm already fucking things up.

Standing in front of the door I knock lightly, there was no noice on the other side of the door.

She probably fell asleep.

I twisted the door knob. I need to make sure she's okay.

The room was dark, my eyes trailed down to the floor. My heart hurt. Cecilia was laying down on the floor, tear stains still visible on her cheeks.

She still had her shoes on too.

I really do need to apologies. I can't guarantee nor can I make her forgive me, but i'll do anything I can to make it up to her.
