Sam
We finally arrived in Italy! Rome to be specific after a seemingly 10 hour flight which was actually 2, we had landed. A bumpy landing for sure, I have never seen Charlie so terrified in my life, clutching onto my hand, however I was kind of mad at him, he didn't tell me anything about what was going on!
I also don't understand how I fell asleep for so long during such chaos, however I was very tired and I don't want to assume the worst about it.
As we left the plane, we all gave a small thanks to the pilot and the staff, except from Aiden and Max who just ignored their smiles. I rolled my eyes at them and grinned at the staff, obviously growing up with a silver spoon stuck in your mouth makes you think you're better than anyone else.
"Have a nice day", One of them said with a smile, she had bright red lipstick on and her brown hair was tied tightly into a bun though I could see roots of blonde. It looked like a wig if you looked closer.
"Come on Sam", Leo said softly, pushing me gently through the door. I moved quicker to get away from him as he followed me down the stairs, the others were all stood around in their fancy suits as they had changed on the plane, probably to seem more intimidating which worked pretty well.
They all formed the same bubble around me from last time, this time we had a lot more body guards surrounding us, obviously they had a much higher reputation in Italy than England. There were black SUV's everywhere and I could see a crowd of people with camera's waiting for us as the entrance of the airport.
I really needed to find a library or a computer to do some research on these guys, to find some random persons person and find out who these people were. We walked through the airport and some people stopped to stare for a moment, mostly because there were about twenty men in suits surrounding me.
I didn't feel protected though, I felt trapped more than anything. I watched as we walked through at all the families stood around, speaking to each other and laughing. In almost all of the families, there was a mum and a dad and a few kids, all of them on their phones or taking pictures with their family.
I felt a strike of jealousy as I watched them, yes I had Charlie and he was great, but I have never experience what it's like to have a mother, a true mother anyway nor a father. I mean Charlie was like a father but he was still just an older brother. I had always felt like we were half a family, like we were just random puzzles lodged together as we didn't fit anywhere else.
Though we had the rest of our brothers, I still wondered why they never found us sooner, they found us now, wouldn't it of been easier to find us back then? There must of been a different reason for not finding us.
This might be good for me though to come here, it would be easier to find stuff out with more people surrounding us, however I didn't know any of these people so I had to figure out what they are like.
I was meeting my cousins today, and uncles and aunts and grandparents. It was rather overwhelming with so many people and I could tell Charlie wasn't looking forward to it, I don't know why this family seems to have something against him, he was a child when he left so there was nothing he could of personally done.
I had a thought that maybe we had a different father but we looked too much alike for that to happen, and he was also like a mini Raymond when you looked closely so that hypothesis goes out the window.
"What's going on?", I whispered to Charlie but he didn't respond, he wasn't listening to me but rather staring at the group of camera men waiting. He took off his jacket and handed it to me.
"Put it over you", He said to me calmly as he knelt down to my level, moving my hair away.
"Why?", I asked him very quietly, surrounded by this many strangers stressed me out more than I thought it would, more kept joining us as well from the side.
"Please just do it and I'll explain everything when we get to the house", He said pleadingly, he looked extremely tired and stressed out and although I had more questions, I thought for his sake it would be easier just to do as I'm told for once.
"Okay fine, but you have got a lot of explaining to do when we get to this place", I said in a sharp tone, annoyed with all the secrets all the time now, he never had any secrets from me, ignoring the whole, 6 secret older brother I never knew I had.
"Can I carry you to the car? I don't want you to trip?", Charlie asked me however I knew his back was still hurting him and my ankle was still in pain. I stood for a moment as the others paused around me. I sighed and closed my eyes. I would just need to get past the comfortableness for a few minutes and I can just pretend it's Charlie.
I turned to Leo and put my arms out towards him. His straight face turned into a huge grin as wrinkles formed around his eyes. He nodded quickly and glanced at the others, kind of like a "Ha" glance. Max and Aiden just glared at Leo and Raymond stood staring at Charlie, glancing at me every now and again.
"Alright, cover Sam, we don't want her pictures getting out", He said which caused me to raise my eyebrows. How stupid did they think I was? How dangerous is it here was the real question. Leo picked me up bridal style and put the jacket over my head as I placed my head against his chest, making it impossible to get a photo of me.
It was rather comfy to be honest, better than I thought it would be, with Leo it was different, he felt safe and trustworthy which is probably why out of all my brothers, I picked him to carry me. I was gripping tightly onto me to make sure I was alright though I doubt he would drop me.
"You alright hun, can you breathe?", He asked me quietly through the jacket as he put a hand to the back of my head. I nodded slowly and closed my eyes, he was warm and it made me feel tired. As we walked through the camera's, there was lights flashing everywhere coming through the jacket and the sounds of questions caved through.
I could hear shouting and people yelling, asking who the hell I was. Leo just held onto me tightly, the entire jacket covered my body. I was starting to breathe faster, the shouting and noise was starting to hurt my ears as I brought my arms up to cover my ears through the jacket.
"Enough, step away before our bodyguards remove you from the building personally", Adams voice bellowed through the airport, causing to go silent.
"One more photo and we will break all your camera's", Aiden said angrily, even though I couldn't see him, I could tell that tone of voice by now, I also knew he was joking. I think others realised that as I could hear feet moving away.
The noise was overbearing as tears starting to form, tears I didn't want to form whatsoever. I never cry but noise is kind of like my kryptonite, it caused my head to spiral, giving me a huge headache. I held my ears tightly as we moved forward. After a few minutes of quick walking we were outside, the air hitting me like a brick.
"You alright Sam?", I heard Aiden ask me, strange. I nodded as we got into the car. As soon as we did, Leo removed the jacket. I was crying slightly as a tear fell accidentally, I didn't want them to see me cry, but I couldn't help it.
Leo used his finger to remove the tear as the Aiden stared at me in surprise.
"So you do have emotions?", He said sarcastically as I gave him a look. He chuckled as he moved the hair from my face which was probably bright red was the heat. As Max got into the car, one look at my face caused him to turn rather red himself.
"Those fucking vultures, are you okay Sam?", He asked me, I nodded slowly as Aiden put my seat belt on for me.
"Are you guys okay?", I asked them as they laughed at me as we started moving.
"The others are going in the car in front, unless you want to be with Charlie right now?", Leo asked me however I shook my head. I wonder what information I could get out of them.
"Yes we are fine, we are completely used to this sort of thing", They said with a chuckle.
"I meant are you sure you guys are aliens from a different planet?", I asked them quietly with a small smile on my face as they laughed. I was sat in the middle of Aiden and Leo with Max sat opposite us. Another protective circle.
"Are you excited?", They asked me, I nodded my head slowly as they nodded back. After a few minutes, they all went onto their phones, giving me a moments peace.
"We will be there in about half an hour, here", Leo said, passing me the headphones from the plane.
"Saved these for you, wanna use my phone for music?", He asked as I nodded my head. Leo was really growing on me, trustworthy was still a long way off though.
I put music on and laid against his arm, closing my ears for a good half an hour of sleep before having to meet the rest of this crazy family. Hopefully Charlie was alright with Adam, Raymond and Chris.
