The lost mafia princess

Ch7

NADIA:
It's been a few days since I fell asleep on Eli, I still feel bad that I fell asleep on him and he kept saying it was nothing.

I'm just not used to it whatsoever.

Today I don't know why, but I am drained, I feel really tired and we didn't do much today, we went to a playground and I felt like a child, I felt happy that I could actually be a child for an hour or two.

I never was allowed to be a kid when I was living with my 'parents'.

"You ok, nads?" Antonio asked with a small smile, we were at the dinner table and having dinner, I wasn't that hungry.

I nodded slowly and yawned, causing my brothers to laugh at me. "I think you need to go to bed" Alexei said with a small smile. I nodded and rubbed my eyes.

"You can go to bed if you want bambina" dad said with a small smile. I walked over to my dad and hugged him and my brothers.
(Baby)

I walked up to my room, quickly changed and I wasn't ready for the nightmare that was coming my way.

Tw!
Flashback:
'Nadia age 7'
"Nadia!" My foster father yelled, his drunk words stumbled and he stumbled over to the front door, I just wasn't in from playing with some of my friends from school.

Momma said I could play with them.

"Where were you?" He stuttered in a drunken voice. I looked down before he forcefully grabbed my chin and made me look at him.

"I-I was with s-some friends, I-I s-swear" I stuttered, he let go of my chin and I thought he would leave it, but he didn't, he struck me across the face, harshly.

I fell to the floor in shock, he did that?

I looked up to Momma, thinking she would help me, but she was too high, so she started laughing at me and saying really harsh and hurtful words to me.

Papa, stumbled over to me, he smirked at me before pulling his hand up and striking my ribs, I screamed out in pain.

Hoping my momma would help me, I looked over to her again and she laughed, telling him to keep going.

I cried, sobbed and begged for him to stop, but he didn't, he kept going, saying awful things to me.

I wanted to die.

To get rid of the pain.....

Of abandonment.

If I die, no one will care......
Tw! Over!

"Nads?! Nadia wake up!"

I didn't realise someone was shaking me, until I opened my eyes to see all of my brothers and dad looking at me worried.

Oh no, I'm dead.

ALEXEI:
Me, Dad and our brothers were all still at the dining table, Nadia was tired so she went to bed, I'm worried about her, she was really skinny, not eating much, and she looks really pale.

"Noah, can you go check on Nadia?" Dad said after half an hour since Nadia went to bed. Noah nodded and walked off to go upstairs.

"I'm really worried about her" Nico said out of the blue. He doesn't talk much but when he does, it's about something serious. I looked over at him before looking to everyone else.

"I agree with him, she's really skinny" Antonio said, before any of us could respond, Noah came running down the stairs with a worried look on his face.

"Nadia's having a nightmare, I can't get her out of it" he gasped. That made us all stand up and run to Nadia's room.

When we got into her room, she was crying and rolling around her bed, she kept mumbling 'I'm sorry' or 'please stop, it hurts' I started tearing up at how much pain she was in. 

"Do something please!" Nico exclaimed. It was like we were all in shock, frozen.

Until Eli ran over and started shaking her, she sat up screaming and opened her eyes, she clung to Eli as if her life depended on it.

"It's ok Stella, you're ok, no one is going to hurt you ever again" After a few minutes she calmed down, but still clung to Eli, who lay down beside her and of course cuddled her.

"We'll be in our rooms if you need us" Antonio said quietly. Eli nodded and held Nadia closer to him, we walked out and went to our rooms without saying a word.

What just happened?
