I woke up, I looked around and saw James in bed with me causing me to jump out of bed. Waking up James, I looked at my feet trying to remember him coming into my room. “ How’d you get in here? I don’t remember letting you in. “ I said/asked. I feel scared,When I don’t remember the last time I felt scared. I started breathing heavily, then someone said “ Aria, it’s okay. You're okay. Nothing bad happened, I promise. “ Then I started breathing evenly, releasing the voice was Thomas’s.
“ Thank you. “ I said, calmly. “ Now why are you guys here? “ I asked.
“ After we talked you seemed tired and you still had to talk to your brothers. So I said I would call you later but I wanted to help you with the nightmares tonight and you were half asleep. “ Thomas explained. I just leaned against the nearest wall and sighed. Then I stood up straight and said “ We need to get you guys out of here. “ James and Thomas nodded.
“ Come on! “ I said, walking out my bedroom door.
“ Why are you going this way? “ Thomas asks.
“ Well my ‘Brothers’ aren’t awake, and this way’s easier. Plus I’m making you guys breakfast. “ I said to them walking into the Kitchen. Once in there, I tune out their voices and start making Pancakes.
“ What are you making? “ James asked.
“ Pancakes. “ I answered, handing a plate of Pancakes to James and Thomas. “ I’m not making anymore. “ I told them washing the dishes.
After about a half an hour they were done eating and left. Since then I’ve been in the Kitchen, just on TiK Tok. Then my dear dear ‘Brother’ Mark entered to Kitchen.
“ Good morning! “ Mark said, cheerfully.
“ Good morning. “ I said to Mark, not caring why he’s happy. Then Will entered the Kitchen. I didn’t say anything to Will. I didn’t want to talk to my ‘Brothers’. So I got up and left the Kitchen.
When I got to the stairs my phone rang, today I looked at the caller I.D. it was J. So I picked up.
“ Hey J. How are you? “ I asked, still walking up the stairs.
“ Good, except the fact that we almost went on a killing spree from the Italian’s. “ J told me, making me stop walking.
“ Why? “ I asked darkly. J knows that everyone in My Mafia is family, except the Tradors.
“ A, calm down no one was hurt in our Mafia. “ J said, trying to calm me down.
“ Okay. You know what to do, J. “ I said, calmly.
“ I let you know how it goes. By the way I sent you some gang work. “ J said, before hanging up the phone. Then I started running up the stairs.
Once I’m in my room, I go to my laptop. I opened it up and went to my email and opened up the email from J. It was mainly about what happened today. They were practicing their fighting skills. I was pissed we never did anything to the Italians. But they go to take down my Mafia. I know there were no deaths. But that’s today, what about tomorrow. What about in a year? I’m overthinking this. I thought as I closed my laptop. I needed to do some of the work today, but I can’t focus right now. So I got my phone and played The Champion By Carrie Underwood.
[Verse 1: Carrie Underwood]
I’ll be the last one standing
Two hands in the air, I’m a champion
You’ll be looking up at me when it’s over
I live for the battle, I’m a soldier, yeah
I’m a fighter like Rocky
Put you flat on your back like Ali
Yeah, I’m the greatest, I’m stronger
Paid my dues, can’t lose, I'ma own ya, ay
[Pre-Chorus 1: Carrie Underwood]
I’ve been working my whole life
And now, it’s do or die
[Chorus: Carrie Underwood]
I am invincible, unbreakable
Unstoppable, unshakeable
They knock me down, I get up again
I am the champion, you’re gon’ know my name
You can’t hurt me now, I can’t feel the pain
I was made for this, yeah, I was born to win
I am the champion
[Verse 2: Carrie Underwood]
When they write my story
They're gonna say that I did it for the glory
But don’t think that I did it for the fame, yeah
I did it for the love of the game, yeah
And this is my chance, I’m taking
All them old records, I’m breaking
All you people watching on the TV
You go ahead and put your bets on me, ay
[Pre-Chorus 2: Carrie Underwood]
I’ve been waiting my whole life
To see my name in lights
[Chorus: Carrie Underwood]
I am invincible, unbreakable
Unstoppable, unshakeable
They knock me down, I get up again
I am the champion, you’re gon’ know my name
You can’t hurt me now, I can’t feel the pain
I was made for this, yeah, I was born to win
I am the champion, oh
[Bridge: Ludacris]
Born champion, Luda!
The C is for the courage I possess through the trauma
H is for the hurt, but it’s all for the honor
A is for my attitude, working through the patience
Money comes and goes, so the M is for motivation
Gotta stay consistent, the P is to persevere
The I is for integrity, innovative career
The O is optimistic, open and never shut
And the N is necessary 'cause I’m never givin’ up
See, they ask me how I did it, I just did it from the heart
Crushin' the competition, been doing it from the start
They say that every champion is all about his principles
Carrie!
[Chorus: Carrie Underwood]
I am invincible, unbreakable
Unstoppable, unshakeable
They knock me down, I get up again
I am the champion, you’re gon’ know my name
You can’t hurt me now, I can’t feel the pain
I was made for this, yeah, I was born to win
I am the champion
[Outro: Ludacris & Carrie Underwood]
I’m the champion, yeah, surpassed all rivals
It’s all about who wants it the most
I am the champion, ohh
Fight for what we believe in
That’s what champions are made of
I am the champion (Yeah, champion)
I laughed, this was Alex’s favorite song. I love this song too, but it was our song. I remember us singing our hearts out to every single world. Then I heard a knock on my door so I stopped the song.
“ Yeah? “ I asked, really not caring who it was.
“ Are you okay? You seemed out of it yesterday night. “ Allen said.
“ So if I’m not fighting you on something I’m out of it? “ I asked, annoyed.
“ Yeah. “ Allen said, with the same tone as me.
“ Allen, “ I said, sitting on my bed. “ Allen, I’m aloud not to fight you on something. “ I told Allen, still not caring. Why did the Italian’s attack us? I needed to know. I’ll have to have J find out.
“ I know that Aria. But something’s wrong. “ Allen said, at this point I was annoyed as hell. Why won't he leave me alone?
“ Why won’t you leave me alone, Allen? Why can’t you accept the fact I’m fine, Allen? Nothing happened yesterday that concerns you! If I wanted you to know I would have told you! “ I said to Allen, trying to control my anger.
“ Aria, I just worried. “ Allen said, clearly not believing me.
“ Why don’t you believe me, Allen? “ I asked, letting a bit of my anger get the best of me. I got up and grabbed my Laptop and Phone. And walked out of the room and grabbed my backpack so I could go to the park.
