My eyes started to peal open from the quiet noise. I was a heavy sleeper but when paranoid I could wake up with any sort of movement around me.

Realizing there was a presence at the door my eyes opened harshly and out of instinct I scooted away.

Getting back to my senses I saw who was the one standing at the doorway.

I was about to stand up and hug him. Tell him how sorry I was, and promise i'll be good. But I couldn't do that anymore. I can no longer get close to any of them. This is my punishment.

The little bit of hope disappeared from my eyes. Bringing my knees to my chest I hugged myself. That's when I realized I hadn't taken my shoes off. Not only that but I felt so sad. This familiar sadness that i've always felt. It was gone since I met my siblings, but it was back. Hurting me.

I wonder if Mateo also hates me? Does Romeo hate me too?

I placed my head downwards. I couldn't bring myself to look at him, or anyone anymore.

I heard footsteps approaching me. I tried to hold them back but the closer he got the harder it was. He did say It was normal. But not right now, I'll cry when he leaves.

Even if I managed to say I wasn't going to cause trouble anymore, that he didn't have to bother with me, I knew I couldn't, because deep down I didn't want that.

I wanted to continue holding his hand. His, Mateos, even Romeos. He wasn't that talkative but I could tell he was a kind person. The twins, they probably have they're reasons and I was going to respect that.

I felt Elias big hand stroke my hair softly. I shoved his hand away with my arm, still not looking at him. Tears were covering my vision.

"I'm sorry Cecilia" My hear beat picked up.

"I should've not left you, I promise I didn't mean it"

I tightened my hold on my knees.

Don't let this happen again Angelica, you'll end up hurting them. Think about them and stop being selfish.

Is was like a battle between giving in what I yearned and saving them from the curse I was.

Elias put his hands under my chin, making me look up at him.

His dark eyes made me instantly feel safe. My bottom lip trembled and a fat tear fell from my left eye.

I'm sorry Eli, I can't help it.

"I'm sorry Eli, I don't hate you" I said in a quivering voice. Tears streaming freely by now.

Eli wiped my tears from my face with his thumb. A small, barely noticeable smile formed on his face. So genuine I knew it was all going to be okay.

Eli picked me up swiftly. I hugged the heck out of him. My head resting on his shoulder. His warm hand rubbed my back gently.

Finally, I felt at peace.

...

I woke up to the same lady that woke me up last time.

She had woken me up and opened the curtains all the way. Now she was inside the closet choosing my outfit.

"I'm your nanny by the way"

My nanny?

"Okay" I said in a quiet voice, I was still half asleep.

"I'll run you a bath young miss"

Nanny was very hardworking, I could tell by the way she efficiently did things.

I was still sitting in my bed. I turned around to see the window. Sliding down from the bed I walked to the huge glass.

My brothers house was very big, and I also noticed they're home was basically in the middle of a forest. I could see all the pretty green trees from this window. It made me feel so happy.

"The bath is ready"

Nanny had put huge bubbles in the bath. The water was nice, it also fully woke me up.

When I was out Nanny said she was going to do my hair. My eyes sparkled from excitement. No one has ever done my hair.

I had already gotten dressed so she started to brush my hair. All of a sudden someone knocks and opens the door. It was Mateo.

"Mateo!"

"Hello Angel" Mateo kissed my forehead making me feel all warm inside.

"Breakfast is in a few minutes. We'll wait for you there"

"Okay!" Matteo smiled and left the room.

"All done"

I Look at my hair in the mirror, it was beautiful.

"Thank you so much nanny" I smile gratefully at her.

She nods and tells me that she'll lead me downstairs.

...

After coming in and hugging Eli with all my might we were all sitting down at the table. All of us. Including Macy, she was talking away. Apparently she was going to stay for a while since her parents had some complications at they're trip.

Macys hair was in tight curls. I counted 5 in total.

Breakfast was amazing, I found myself eating a lot more then I could manage before. It wasn't a huge difference but it definitely made me proud.

Elias said him and the rest of my siblings had to go out for something regarding work, and that Macy and I would stay home.

It made me nervous but I couldn't do anything about it.

After we ate breakfast Elias and Mateo kissed my forehead, they told me they were going to be back before dinner and if I needed anything to call them. Romeo pated my head and left. Enzo and Armani only said goodbye to Macy.

I could tell they cared for her deeply.

When they closed the door I took in a deep breath, trying to calm myself. I get very anxious when alone. But Macy is here so is okay.

I'm kidding, she doesn't make me feel any better.

"Let's play outside Angelica!" Macy has a big smile plastered on her face. I let her grab my wrist and guide me through the huge house.

When we step outside there is a huge field and pretty flowers.

The air smells nice, and the breeze is fresh.

"How about we go in the woods" Macys smile is unwavering which leaves an unsettling feeling in the pit of my stomach. "Okay..."

Macy continues to pull me by my wrists and to the woods. I look around and make eye contact with one of the many guards that have been standing like statues. I look around the whole field and see lots of them.

Why do my brothers need so many of them?

"Macy I-"

Just before entering the scary forest one of the guards stands in front of us. I look up at him and try to go behind Macy as much as I can.

"Could you move" Macy says in a sweet voice.

"I apologize Miss Macy but the Estradas have prohibited the young Miss from going beyond this point"

I can't see Macys face but she goes quiet. "Oh...Okay!" She answers in her usual voice.

She pulls me back, "Let's go to the trampoline instead"

"It's actually new. My brothers recently bought it"

A/N: She's talking about Angelica's siblings. She's just very delusional and refers to them as hers.

I stare at her tight curls. Why is she being nice? Just last night she said some mean things.

Soon enough a huge rectangular comes into view. It's on the floor. In the ground. Is this how trampolines are supposed to look?

Macy starts running and pulls her shoes off. She tells me to take mine off too. I do what i'm told and trail behind her.

She runs on top of the trampoline and stars jumping.

Her body jumps up and down. It looks so fun!

"Common Angelica, jump!"

I smile and carefully step on it.

I start jumping and it feels so cool!

I even start laughing. After a few seconds Macy starts to jump closer and closer to me. I try get away from her so we don't collide. She just continues to get closer no matter how much I move.

When i'm close to the edge of the trampoline Macy jumps so hard that my body falls backwards, landing on the green grass.

"Ow"

Out of nowhere I heard quick footsteps approaching us. I turn around to see 3 guards.

"Are you alright Young Miss?" One of them crouches down to my level, I just nod at her

"Would you like us to call one of your brothers?"

I shake my head. That won't be necessary, I've fallen plenty of times in my life, it's normal.

The other one offered me they're hand. I gratefully took it and stood on my feet. "Would you like to do something else Young Miss?"

Read.

"Can I read?"

"Of course, let's go to the library"

I look back to see Macy. Her mouth was downwards and her eyes were looking directly at mine. Her blue eyes were scary.

Two of the guards stayed behind while the other one led me inside. I could feel Macy glaring at us from behind but I didn't dare turn around.

I just hope she doesn't get anymore mad at me.
