Lorenzo's POV:
After getting off the plane, rushing to our car and speeding off to the hospital our sister is in, you can practically inhale the tension in the car.
Despise not seeing our sister in nearly 17 years, we are over the moon to have found her but never in a million years did we wish for the reunion to be like this.
Not to forget that we are probably strangers for her. I highly doubt she remembers us, or even knows she has blood relatives in the world. The question is, who had her all the years and how did they manage to hide her that long..?
Arriving at the hospital, I park the car near the entrance, not caring how badly I parked and walked to the receptionist.
"Ma'am, we are looking for our sister called Aurora. She must have been admitted around 3 hours ago.."
The older woman smiles sympathetic at us, "yes of course. The only Aurora who was admitted in today is currently in surgery and will be moved to ICU if the surgery is a success. If you walk down the hall to your right, you will get to the waiting room. As of right now there are already two men waiting. They may know more than me about what exactly happened.."
Sighing I answer hastily, "Thank you ma'am"
My brothers and I take off to the waiting room and are met, like predicted, with two men. One looks about the same age as Aurora and Alessandro. When I look at the older man's face, I am met with a familiar face.
"Michael?" Asks a confused Ricci. Confusing lingers over my family's and my faces.
Michael turns towards us and i immediately see the exhausting and devastated look on his face which not like him. Michael is, was, the best friend, right hand man of our father and our godfather.
"Boys? What are you doing in New York, or better yet in a hospital..?"
"We found Aurora. Our family doctor called and told us that she was brought in. What are you doing here?" I asked confused. As far as I know he only has his son as close family and seeing as this boy and Michael are looking similar, my best guess would be that its his son.
The boy spins around and faces us completely, "How do you know Aurora?"
Michael's eyes went wide and more tears are forming, "it can't be..."
The boys eyes went to his father, "dad? Who are they and how do they know her?"
Michael ignores his son and keeps his eyes on us, "If i knew she was your Aurora, I would have done something. Oh god, I'm so so sorry" he puts his face in his hands, his voice trembling with what I assume is shock, shame maybe.
Ricci turns towards the boy and answers for his father, "We are here brothers. And who are you to her?"
The boys eyes went wide, "Brothers? I-I didn't even know that she had brothers," he whispers to himself, "I'm Miguel, her best friend for many years now. She was on the phone with me when the accident happened. She was on her way to us when a car came and hit her."
Without being able to answer, a doctor comes out of the double doors, "Aurora Davidson?"
Michael nods at us and turns to the doc, "That's us. How is she?"
The doc sighs, "We were able to stop the internal bleeding for now but she is still in a very critical condition. Beside the internal bleeding, she also got a broken leg, 3 fractured ribs as well as one broken, a concussion. Her jaw is badly bruised from the impact on the steering wheel. When she was brought in, the paramedics informed us that the airbag wasn't activated for some odd reason. She also has some scratches as well as one long slash on her torso caused by a long piece of metal. The next 24h will be critical. As soon as she's in the ICU, you can go and see her"
With one final nod in our direction he walks off to god knows where, leaving us standing in silence and utter fear for Aurora.
Shifting on his feet, Miguel clears his throat, "So, you guys are, uhm, Rory's brothers huh" his question coming out as a statement.
Receiving a nod from my brothers and myself, we don't bother to give a verbal answer.
Sitting in the waiting room for Aurora to be rolled in the ICU, we all have different emotions showing on our faces.
Stefano sit with his legs spread lightly, elbows on his knees and fist in mouth, probably to kep him either from crying or punching something, or rather someone.
Ricci, being closer to Aurora's age as Stefano or myself, sits on the floor with his back against the wall, his head turned to the ceiling and silently saying prayers. He was the one who would always dress Aurora up when she was a baby. Always dressing her in a cute princess dress and himself in a, how he would call it, 'knight in shining armor to protect her from all the evil in the world'. After she was taken he took it so hard because he would always tell her that she's safe as long as he is alive. He was so young yet so passionate towards his sister.
While my brothers are sitting and openly show their distress to the world, I sit on one of the uncomfortable chairs, masking my distress with a cold stone mask. I am the oldest and after all, I need to be the rock in times like these. No matter how badly I want to break down from happiness yet anger, I can't because my brothers and sister need me to be strong.
My phone ringing breaks us all out of the trance. Slipping it out of my pocket I look at the caller ID, only to freez when i read the name. It's Alessandro.
Fuck, while being in a hurry to come to Aurora, I completely forgot to tell Alessandro about his twin sister.
Taking a deep breath, I answer the phone, "Alessandro."
Stefano and Ricci turn to me, questioning and panicked looks on their faces.
A dry chuckle leaves Alessandro, "Alessandro" he mocks, "Really? The triples and I come home only to find you gone without a fucking word? Are Stefano and Ric with you as well? hm? Where the fuck are you guys?"
A sigh leaves my mouth, "We are in New York. Important business came up last minute and if I remember correctly, you only wanted to join when you turn 18, which you didn't yet. We will be home soon hopefully, could take some days, maybe a few weeks."
A shocked gasp is heard on the other side of the phone, "WEEKS? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON LORENZO?! You guys never leave on a short notice, especially not without telling me beforehand."
A sigh leaves me and I look at my two brothers for help. When I receive a nod from each of them, I knew I had to tell Alessandro the truth.
Closing my eyes, I prepare myself before answering him, "Sandro, when you were out I received a call from a doctor here in New York. They-they found Aurora. That's the important business."
I expected every possible reaction from him. Anger, sadness, happiness. That he would cry or scream. What I didn't expect was to be met with silence.
After what felt like long minutes passed, he finally answers, "what? What-what do you mean?" His voice breaks as he speaks.
"She was admitted to the hospital after a car crash. Was a hit and run. We are currently at the New York states hospital, waiting for her to be transported to the ICU." right as I spoke a nurse made her way towards us. "Listen Sandro, the nurse is here to bring us to Aurora. I will call you later."
Without giving him a chance to answer, I hang up, stand up and make my way to the nurse.
She smiles at my brothers, Miguel, Michael and me, "Miss Davidson-" I cut her off.
"It's miss Ferrari." I growl.
She gulps and nods, "My apologize. Miss Ferrari was brought to the ICU where she is currently resting. She is yet to come to conscious but you can still go in and see her."
With a nod of confirm from me, she leads the way to Aurora's room.
Upon opening and stepping inside, my brothers and I freez when we lay our eyes on her pale, dead looking body. The view in front of me shocks me so much that I feel like vomiting.
Bruises lingers all over her body, connected on several tubes, machines and needles. Even with the pale and bruised skin, Brown long curly hair, full lips and small nose, I can see the similarity between her and Alessandro. Both have got the hair and skin color from our father while rest of us have darker hair from our mother. I don't know about her eyes but if she has the same as Alessandro, I can't wait to see these oh so beautiful green eyes with specks of brown and grey.
Cautious walking over to her bed, I sit down on the chair right beside her and take a hold of her hand.
"You are safe now mi amor." I whisper against her hand before placing a kiss on it.
No one will ever lay a hand on her as long I breathe.
