L U C A. P O V.

I open my eyes to see my sweet little sister . Her blond hair drawled out on my chest . He thick natural eyes lashes and eyebrows define her face with those still Rosie cheeks .
I feel happy, I feel closure .
I feel her shift against me she rubs her eyes cutely and yawned making an adorable sound come out of her mouth .
She is truly my light .
"Good morning Eddy ."
"Mornin ." She replies yawning
I chuckle
"Let's go get you some breakfast. " she nods and I pick her up and walk down stairs .
I hear a door shut behind me and watch as Dom walks past us his eyes basically shut .
We go into the kitchen and I grabs a plate and put some eggs and bacon on for both me and Eddy .
She sits in my lap and eats .
Emilia is home but my dad Enzo , Felix , Leon and Werner are all at work for the mafia . Leaving the rest of us at home .
Eddys head leans against my back . Her blue and green eyes looking into mine .
"Eddy would you like to hang out with me today?"
She smiles make her face crease by her eyes . Shaking her head up in down she says ," Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!"
I smile at her behavior.
"Lu what will we be doing today then ?" Eddy ask
"We'll I was wondering if you would want to go swimming with me ? Or anything else you would want to do I-I mean um you know-"
Her giggles cut me off . " Swimming sounds like a lot of fun . And then we can make some treats ."
"Yeah we can definitely do that ." I reply a smile etched into my face
"Now eat a little bit more breakfast bambie ."
She nods and finishes her breakfast . Dom walks in rubbing the sleep from his eyes . When he sees Eddy he grins .
"Good morning baby sis . Howda sleep?"
"I slept great ."
"Yeah because she slept with me." I say bragging
"I want to sleep with you princess." Dom says pouting
"Don't worry I'll snuggle with you latter . " she says smiling
"Hey I'll clean up our plates and you go upstairs and get ready to go swimming." I say standing up and placing Eddy off my lap and on the floor .
"Hey! I want to go swimming can I please go?? Please!!" Dom says whining
Eddy looks at me , her innocent eyes showing me how sad she would be if we made Dom leave .
"Sure." I grumble
Eddy runs upstairs-along with Dom to get changed.
I go up and change and come back downstairs after getting dressed. I find Emilia in the kitchen talking on the phone .
I was about to walk past when I heard Eddie's name .
"Werner , Edith has to go . You know she's in danger here . "
Emilia says rubbing her eyes . Even though the phone isn't on speaker I can hear the rage of Werner yelling from behind the wall .
I tense up . Eddie's leaving ? For how long ?
I walk in The kitchen showing my presence to Emilia. She turns to me . Shock on her face .
"Um Werner I'll talk to you later . I lov-" the phone hung up before she could finish her sentence.
"So did you hear everything I just said ?" Emilia ask
"Yes" I say through my teeth
"We'll because of what happened last night I'm going to send her away to her school for her safety."
"She is safe here Emilia." I grit
"Luca you just don't understand your a little boy . Don't worry about it ." She says shrugging
"Fine! At least tell me what school type of a school she goes to ? "
" It's an all girls boarding school. It's actually made for protection." Emilia explains
I feel mad and angry . Disgusting vile raises up in the back of my throat.
Edith shouldn't have to leave for protection . We should be her protectors . I will always protect her . My sweet sister .
My jaw ticks back in forth . The thought of her leaving ...it just makes my emotions die cold .
Emilia sighs ," Listen Luca , I know your upset I can read it on your face . But the choice isn't yours and you don't know the full reason as to why we're sending her away for her protection.
"
She leave the kitchen and I wait for Eddie . When she finally comes down she's in an adorable swim suit
She smiles at me with her big eyes and I make an effort to smile back .
"Are you ready to go swimming?" I ask
"Yes!Yes!Yes!" She say excited
"Let's go!" I reply grabbing her soft baby hand in my big one and walking her out to the pool .
"Lu what about Dom ? We left him behind!" She says feeling bad
"It's ok we'll wait." I say smiling
She truly is pure .
The sun shines bright so as we wait I put sunscreen on Eddie to make sure that she won't get burned .
We hear a thud and out comes Dom in shorts without a top .
"Really it took you 30 minutes to get changed and all you did was put on trunk and take off you shirt ?!?" I exclaimed
"Yes really I have to be perfect for EDDIE !" Dom says
Edith giggle at that and smiles at Dom . He smiles back .
Dom looks at the water and runs to jump in the water . Doing a front flip in the process.
Eddie give me a look and gets up to start running and copy him but before she could I grabbed her .
"Hey hey hey! "She squeals
"Nope. Don't even think about it Edith Rose!"
She gives me a look and start to giggle .
I look at Dom making sure he's aware of what I'm doing .
"LUCAA!!! NOOOOOHAHHAHAH"
She yells as I throw her in the pool next to Dom
He pulls her up , scared she was going to drowned .
She 'glares' at me . And that was the cutes glare I have ever gotten .
For the next few hours Eddie played in the pool with Dom and me . By lunch we got out and dried off .
We made sandwiches and took showers because we had chlorine on us. And after we set down for a movie .
Eddie chose sleeping beauty. But by the the time it started she fell asleep on mine and Doms lap .
I was happy . But the though that in a few days this was going to be ripped from me was like taking away my heart .
Soon the family came in one by one kissing Eddie on the cheek. Cold expressions on their faces as the head to a meeting room.
Soon I get up and put Eddie to bed and head to the meeting room .
"Guys I know you all won't understand and will be mad but Edith is going back to school ." Emilia says
"Why?!?" Ask Gallo
"For protection." She replies
"We are protection Emilia. We are the Nateli's. And your a Chestnells. And together we have an army ."
"We'll this thing I'm protecting Edith from is not an army of other mafias it's m-my ex husband ." Emilia says drawing in attention
"Mother! They don't need to know! " E m says angry for the first time in this conversation
"Yes they do ." She says in an dominant voice but not more dominant than his
"When I was married to my husband he was um abusive to my sons and Eddie ...one day he took it to far and almost killed her . And so I tried , tried to kill him . Ever sense i have to move around and make it seem that Eddie isn't here and isn't in our life so he doesn't try to hurt her ."
Speechless her sons shake their head . Leon and Werner looked pi**ed and Em and Silas were stone coke .
"So that's why Edith is going back to school in um three days ."
"ThREe DaYs?!?"Elvo says mad
"What about a week ." Felix says shaking his head
"Emilia when do you plan on telling her ."Gillberto ask
Silence
"Emilia when do you plan on telling her?" He ask again in an unnerving voice
"I'm going to tell her she's going back to school tomorrow."
We nod sadness fills our faces .
The door opens and reviles Edith weren't her night gown.
Tears roll down her face .
"Why are you crying baby?" Emilia ask
"I-I d-don't wan-na leave ." Tears streaming down her cheeks her lip wobbled as she cried .
"Don't don't make m me goo . P-please ."
"I'm sorry baby girl but you have to . " Emilia says
This was tearing my heart apart . She sobbed . Her eyes red from Tears and her nose a pink tent .
"N-n-n-nooo." She says crying her eyes out shaking her head.
"Edith! No! You are going and that is final ." Emilia says raising her voice making me mad .
My baby was crying and she shouted at her . I was about ready to kill her!
In the next moment Emilia felt shame and all of a sudden Edith's tears and sobs became silent . Tears silently ran down her face without her making a sound . It was a sight of horror.
The silence almost broke everyone in that room . Me included .
Edith then whispered " please "
Emilia , though the guilt was clear shook her head sternly .
Edith ran out of the office quicker then anyone could follow .
As everyone looked for her Feliex looked at Emilia saying " what did you do!"
"She is not going to win this she is going that is final ." Emilia says sternly
I look at Emilia shaking my head . I storm off to go find My baby and slam the door behind me .
