Athena's POV
I went downstairs to meet everyone officially.
Everyone was sitted around the table , the food set properly but no one had anything on their plates .
"Athena" Hope gushed , I gave her an awkward smile and went to sit next to her . I still wasn't used to my name .
My father and mother were there , the only people I didn't know were the boys.
"Boys come on, introduce yourselves " Mom said . They were all gawking at me before she broke them out of their trance. The supposedly oldest, cleared his throat and spoke up .
"Athena , I'm your eldest brother , Raul. I'm 28" he had a big body but just the right size for him , he had brown hair and the same color eyes as me. He looked powerful , dominant and protective, like he was in charge of something big.
"I'm your second eldest brother, Matteo .I'm 25" the one next to Raul said . He looked around 6'1 , with a lean muscle body . He had black hair and brown golden eyes, he's jaw line was exceptionally sharp.
The one sitting beside me stood up and spoke next ,"I'm the third oldest , my name is Zavi. I'm 22"
He was good looking you could say but let's keep that in my head . He looked around 5'11 and he had a big body almost like Raul's but not exactly. He had my father's eyes.
The one sitting next to Hope stood up, him and Zavi looked awfully alike. "I'm his twin brother " he said pointing at Zavi , then went on " my name is Xavier" . They had all the same features but different hair , He had our dad's hair, black and Zavi had mom's hair , brunnete.
The last one stood up and introduced himself, "I'm your youngest brother, Cole. I'm 18"
He looked more like me and Hope. He had my eyes and mom's hair. He looked 5'7 and had a pretty muscular body . It was impressing , Almost.
See what I did the ? HAAAHA
They all sat down after introducing themselves. It was so weird , we were family but introductions had to be made . I was so tense, I could literally suffocate from the thick air.
I started eating my food without a word hoping that the tension would go down but it somehow increased. Amazing .
Breakfast went by in complete silence , when I was done eating , I excused myself from the table and went upstairs. I went into my closet and went through my clothes , I noticed a black jumpsuit so I picked it out and laid it on the bed , I took out a pair of heel boots to match with it. After picking out the outfit , I went back into the bedroom and grabbed my phone.
Surprisingly everyone's contacts were there , From my dad to Hope. I texted hope and asked if she had plans for the day and she said no . I needed to blow off some steam so I was hoping there was some underground fighting near.
It was still early so I decided I'd wear that outfit later on . I stuck to my stay at home outfit and layed on the bed .
After a few minutes , Hope walked in wearing baggy jeans and an oversized t-shirt.
Yep she's my sister.
She joined me on the bed and I turned on the TV. We decided on a movie marathon , with snacks . So she went downstairs to get all the food we needed , while I picked out our movies.
She came back in, after 20 minutes with everything. Placing the food on the bean bag , she tossed herself on the bed .
"I ordered Chinese, is that okay" she asked . "Yep it's great ".
We started our first movie , The Notebook.
After 2 hours, I was choosing our next movie. "How do you feel about this whole thing? " she asked. Her voice cold and distant . It hurt her too But there was nothing I could do .
"Overwhelmed " I answered honestly, it was difficult lying to her so I just told the truth.
"We missed you" she said.
I turned to her and watched her expression, she was drained. It was like this affected her so much more than everyone else . She was my twin after all but...
I gave her a sad smile and continued scrolling through Netflix, the room was now tense . It's like the mood changed from content to broken.
I hated it .
"What did he do to you " she asked out of nowhere .
I felt she deserved the truth though it was difficult for me to be truthful with her , I still did, She was hurting too .
"He abused me" I replied coldly.
"For how long?" She asked. Her voice was just as void .
"8 years " I answered bitterly.
"Can I see" she asked.
NO! .
It sounded so loud in my head that it made me deazy, so instead of answering.
"Let's go out" I said to her .
"Out for coffee? " she suggested, "Starbucks " I said .
I grabbed my phone and earpods and she took hers too .
"Want to walk?" She asked . I looked out the window and the weather seemed cold so I said yes . I couldn't deal with hot weather and It's not raining which made it worse. The rain gave me peace and comfort no one would ever be able to give me .
I nodded and we left.
"Mom we'll be back!" She scram.
When got to Starbucks, i was starstruck. And I mean literally.
I saw the same guy I saw in the alley, he didn't have blood today instead he looked hella Hot. Wow.
He wore black jeans with a black t-shirt and a black leather jacket with black sneakers. He was rocking that colour like nobody's business. He's hair was messy but not in the bad kinda way , instead in a 'I'm a bad boy' kinda way . It suited him , it looked like he ran his fingers through into a few times .
"Stop staring it's rude " Hope whispered pulling me away.
"It's not rude if it's good looking " I said back but of course it wasn't my day because it looked like he heard it because he chuckled and said "thanks Sweats "
Hope pulled me away towards a table at the corner . Did he have to say 'sweats ' and did it have to sound so sexy.
I was amazed by how good looking he was , he's eyes shown more in the light, he's cheek bones were magnificent and his jaw line . Damn people!
I zoned back to reality and focused on Hope . "Did you have to make it so obvious " she asked laughing at me .
"No but I did" I said face palming myself. Gosh Wow.
"Let's just order before I do anything more embarrassing" I said under my breath.
The guy was sitting with a guy that looked quite like the one he was with the other night . Weren't they fighting?
"Hey... I saw you trying to help that guy the other night, who is he? " I asked her in a hushed voice ,they were a few tables away from us so I tried minimising my voice.
"He's.... he's name is Trevor, he's that guys best friend that you were drooling over" she said muttering like she was shy talking about him .
"Why did you try to help him" I asked. Her cheeks flushed and she looked down. She likes him .
She looked so cute , it was heartwarming. I smiled at her reaction and drank my cuppacino.
She was about to open her mouth and say something when I stopped her ," I know " I said.
She thanked me for not making her say it and is laughed at her silliness. It was the first time I chuckled since I was a child. She brought out the emotions in me.
We finished our drinks and talked for a while , a few hours later , we were in our black jumpsuits and black boots ready for a fight . I missed two nights already , I needed something to calm me down.
