   School ended way sooner than what I was wanting it to. Probably because I slept in my later classes, the teachers didn't seem to mind. "God, you still look like shit." Owen whispered, standing beside my locker. "Thanks Owen. You a real one for that." I smiled at him.

   "I didn't mean it like that." He said, I held up my hand stopping him. "It's fine, I get it. Hurting my feelings and stuff." I joked. "At least you're honest."

   I saw the rest of his group walking slowly behind him. "I was joking." He whined, dragging out the g. "Yea, whatever." I rolled my eyes. "That's it." He said, pulling me into a big hug. "God, Tate help!" I said, eyeing the group walking towards us.

   "Uhh, sir. Get off of her she's turning purple." Tate said, prying Owen's arms off me. "No. She's being difficu-" "Kins, let's go!" Roman said from the door. "Hey Romeo." Keaton grinned. Roman only rolled his eyes.

   "Bye guys." I said, walking over to my brother. "I really don't like them." He said, walking towards the car. "That's not my fault." I rolled my eyes, getting into the back of the car with Daniel.

   "What were you guys gonna wear for later?" Rodrigo asked. "Probably normal clothes." Daniel suggested. "Well no fucking shit. Like what?" I sighed, tuning the rest of their dumb conversation out.

   When we pulled up to the house, I was the first to jump out of the car. "Jesus Kins. Let me fucking park before you jump out." Roman glared. "I didn't think I could take one more second of you guys talking about clothes. You're worse than a middle school girl." I said, pushing past my brothers.

   Rodrigo scoffed, "I just want to look nice." He said. "Hey guys. Go get ready. Their flight got shortened so they will be here in an hour." Matteo said, rushing after one of the maids.

   I stormed up to my room, dropping my bag and shoes by the door. i decided I was going to take a nice long shower, to hopefully wake me up more. I let the water warm up while I looked at myself in the mirror. The bruises and burns had mostly disappeared, but the scars were still there.

   I looked more alive. My skin was tanner, my eyes were brighter. I smiled more, made more jokes. I actually felt comfortable with my brothers.

   I shook away my thoughts and jumped in the shower, letting the hot water literally works it's magic. After the shower, I put on the fuzzy bath robe and blow dried my hair.

   After it was dried enough, I walked to the closet, picking out a simple pair of black jeans and white oversized shirt. After getting dressed, I walked to my vanity and pulled out one of the many mascara's I had, and applied a small amount.

   I looked in the full body mirror, nodding in approval. A knock sounded at the door. "Kins, you ready?" Andrea said from the other side. "Uhh yea. Are they here?" I asked, suddenly feeling nervous. Andrea opened the door, "They just pulled up." He said, holding his hand out towards me.

   "Im nervous." I whispered more to myself, he still heard. "Bambina I can promise you there is nothing to be worried about. They are gonna love you, they already do." He said, reassuring me. I nodded and followed him down the stairs.

   When we reached the bottom, there was a whole lot of commotion in the living area. "Where is she?" "She better fucking be here." "Seriously, wheres she hiding." "Matteo, If you dont get th-" They all stopped talking and turned towards the door in which I just entered.

   I cowered behind Andrea. "Kinsley, come here." Matteo said, patting the seat besides him. I felt all eyes on me as I walked in front of the crowd. I felt uncomfortable, but still calm as I knew they wouldn't dk anything to me.

   "So, this is the other part of our family." He said, gliding his hand in the air. I looked at each and everyone one of their faces as they did the same with me. I studied them all carefully, seeing how they all looked so so similar.

   "Uncle Rocco. You can start with your family." Matteo said, letting whoever he was have the stage. An older guy came forwards, dragging his family with him.

   He cleared his throat, "Kinsley, it's so great to see you again bambina. I'm your oldest Uncle. I'm the second oldest brother of your father's. This is my wi-" He was stopped by the woman, "I'm Anna! It's so so glad to finally have you back." I smiled at her, feeling the need to have some other emotion. "These are our boys. Introduce yourselves." Uncle Rocco spoke.

   "Hi, I'm Anthony and I'm 31, your oldest cousin." Anthony said, a smile on his face. "I'm Baron, 30." He looked around the room. "Cyrus, 27." He said, glaring at me. I gave him a small smile and he lightened up a little.

   "Nice to meet you guys."  I said, adding a smile. "Uncle Aldo." Matteo said, letting the next family come up. A group of 5. "Hello kiddo. I'm your Uncle Aldo. I'm your fathers third oldest brother." He said, a wise smile sat prompt on his face. "I'm his wife! Your Aunt Maria. These are our boys." She held her finger up to the boys.

   "Hi bambina, I'm Andrew, I'm 30, and i'm probably going to be your favorite cousin." He said, a smirk on his face. I giggled, "I this I like him already." I whispered to Matteo. "Hey I heard that!" Anthony said. I simply shrugged my shoulders. "I'm Blake, 30." I nodded. Why were they so, weird. "I'm Carlo! 28, probably the coolest out of all of these moro- OWWW." He rubbed the back of his head. "You watch your language. " Uncle Aldo said. "Yes sir."

   I held back a laugh as Carlo looked towards me, a smirk sat on his face. "That boy's going to be your favorite, I can already tell." Matteo whispered to me. I nodded back, "I can already tell."

   "Uncle Enzo." He said, pulling forward a group of 4. "Ahhh long time no see. I'm your Uncle Enzo! You're favorite and coolest Uncle might I a- Oww, whats up with you and hitting." Enzo looked at Aldo. I laughed very loudly at the action. "Oh you thought that was funny?" Uncle Enzo taunted. I shook my head, containing my laughter, "I'm sorry." "You guys, I'm your Aunt Laura! These are my boys." She said, ruffling the  two boys hair.

   "I'm Caleb, 26." He flashed me a smile but quickly covered it up with his scary aura. "Don't mind him, hes... weird. I'm Gabriel! 23." He said, rocking back and forth on his feet. I smiled at the group as they moved backwards. "Uncle Mario."

   Another group of five walk up. All the boy's seem extremely pissed off at something. "As he said, I'm your Uncle Mario." He said, moving his attention to his phone. "Sorry about them darling, Im your Aunt Rosa. These are my boys." At least she was nice.

   "Finely, 25." He said, glaring at me. "Jack." Was all he said, staring at his phone. "Leon. 20." I nodded. "Why are you all pissy? Did someone shit in your cereal this morning or what?" Luca said from behind me. "You mind your damn business boy." Uncle Mario said, giving Luca the death stare.

   He scoffed, "I'm to busy worrying about what my little sisters going to think about her fucking family. It seems to me like you nor your boys give a shit." He said, flaring his arms in the air. I turned towards him, shaking my head. He seemed to understand what I was saying as he walked off into a different room.

   I sighed, "You guys are welcome to find another place to stay if you cant seem to respect my family." Matteo said. I don't understand how my brothers could be like this to one of their Uncles. I'd cry.

   "Uncle Bruno! Please take the stands." Matteo said, pushing Uncle Mario and his family off. I noticed Aunt Rosa talking to her husband.

   "Look how big you've gotten! I'm your Uncle Bruno. I used to be your favorite Uncle. Just saying." He put his arms up in surrender. "Oh please. Don't flatter yourself." The woman beside him said. "I'm this goofball's wife, your Aunt Angela! These are our boys!" She said.

   I was happy to finally see a cousin with a smiling face. "Hi bambina! I'm Kenji, 20. I've got so much planned to do with you!" He said, the smile not leaving his face. "I'm Lorenzo, but you can call me Leo, i'm 19. I heard you liked cars." He said, a grin sat on his face. My eyes widened as I shook my head up and down. "We can talk about those later." He said. "Ahh I can't wait." I said.

   The room grew with laughter as my cheeks grew pink. "Uncle Leonardo!" Matteo called out. "Ello dear Kinsley. I am your Uncle Leonardo. You can call me Leo, or Deo. Whichever you prefer." I smiled at the man. "I'm his wife, you Aunt Gianna. These, are his boys." "Ohhh so their only my boys when were meeting new people." Uncle Leo said, a smirk on his face. "Ding ding ding!"

   "You two, I'm Aiden." "And i'm Caiden." I looked at the two identical boys. "We're twins." They said at the same time. "Were both 17 so that's how you know were going to be your favorites." Caiden said, giving his brother some fist bump.

   I laughed at the two. "I'm glad you think so." I said, "Hey, whats that supposed to mean!" Aiden said, a smirk on his face. I shrugged, "I actually have no clue." "See were already best friends." Caiden said.

   "Ok ok, Save Enough bond time for us." The boys to their right said. "Uncle Francisco!" Matteo called out. In stepped two people. "I'm your Uncle Francisco!" He gave me a toothy grin. "I'm his wife, Aurora! We don't have any kids because we didn't think we could handle them. So instead, were one of the many babysitters they had." She explained. I nodded, "Great to meet the both of you!"

   "Uncle Tomas." Out appeared a group of 4, not looking amused. "I'm just going to apologize now. I had a long flight and I'm so tired. But I'm your Uncle Tomas." He said, giving me a small smile. I retuned his smile. "I'm his wife, your Aunt Giovanna."

   "I'm Max, 18." "And i'm Elijah, 17." They both said, a yawn at the end. I laughed at the group as they were all half asleep. "You four are more then welcome to go upstairs to the guest rooms." Matteo said. They nodded and excused themselves from the room.

   "Unc-" "Yea boy I got it. I'm your Uncle Antonio! The coolest one. Don't listen to those other fools." He said, flipping all the others off. I smirked at his gesture. "I'm his wife, your Aunt Sofia!"

   "We will make this quick cause I'm starving. I'm your Uncle Robert! This is your Aunt Stella! It's so great to finally see you again, Kinsley." He said, a smile sat on his face.

   I stood up, "It was great meeting everyone of you again." I said, their faces lit up, well most of them. "Food's done!" The maid's yelled from the kitchen.

This is going to be a wild ride.
