~Magnolia~

"NO Blake ! You can't just fucking go out and do that ! Don't you get it ?" I hear a voice yell as soon as Ethan and I get back in the house through the door from the garage, it's probably Damon if I recognise the voice well. They were yelling loudly in the living room I think, which made me stop right in my tracks as soon as I opened the door. These yells just reminded me of Nick and my foster dad, but luckily Ethan noticed my discomfort and grabbed my hand. " We already lost mom and dad and nearly Magnolia, because of these fucking Italians, so don't go around and fuck with them ! What you did today was dangerous" Damon growls even louder now, when I enter the living room, where Blake and Damon were both standing looking furious.

The words that Damon said just struck me and made me freeze in place.

"Wh-what ?" I stutter weakly, which immediately got the attention of my two fighting brothers, who were facing each other. Next to me I hear Ethan curse and both Damon and Blake turn to me with wide eyes. " I though it-it was just a car crash." I whisper under shock of hearing the news I wasn't even meant to hear. Italians ? My parents were murdered ? all these years I thought...

I watch my eldest's brother mouth open and close again without a single word coming out of it. He looks at his younger brothers for help, but he has no luck.

"Don't lie to me again Damon. Tell me the truth, please..." my voice trembles as these words pass my mouth. My eyes start to water at the thought of my dead parents being murdered. Fuck I nearly got killed too, By FUCKING ITALIANS. I don't even know who they are, but Jace told me some terrifying stories of an Italian mafia which clearly popped back in my head, when I heard my eldest brother talk about them.

"It's complicated Angel." Damon simply responds, which doesn't answer a single one of my million questions that all try to push their way inside my head.

"No Damon it's not. Don't you fucking try to hide this from me. I have a right to know what happened to mom and dad that night. Heck even I was in the car crash or the Italians murder intentions should I call it ?" I spit with venom as I feel anger rising inside of me.

"Sit down first Lila." Blake speaks up and I watch him as he extends his hand for me to take."The world can fall appart, but he will always be there to protect me." I mumble the words of Blake in my head to give me some confidence, before walking towards him and being engulfed in a hug.

I breath in his scent and I let myself being dragged to the couch, where we could all talk and make me understand I hope.

"That night you, mom and dad where heading towards the hospital. You had injured your arm badly and our parents wanted you to have the best medical care, which is quite obvious." Blake starts to explain without the authorisation of Demon, but by the looks of it it seemed fine. I feel a tear slip down my cheek, as guilt starts to fill me up. They died because of me, I was so dumb to get hurt.

"how did I hurt myself ?" I quietly ask my brothers with my head hanging low, staring at my fidgeting hands.

"It was my fault. We were playing outside in a dangerous place, just outside the property when we heard gun shots. People were shooting at us, even though we were just kids. I pulled you with me and we ran back to the property, but unfortunately you tripped on a branch as it was dark outside and hardly fell on your arm." I watch my brother carefully explain as I see the same guilt I know all to well shining in his green eyes. " In no time our guards managed to get rid of the haters, but it was still too late. A bullet scratched your already broken arm, injuring it even more." He pauses his story and our eyes cross paths. He looks so broken even though he acts all tough and cold every day, my Bee was deeply hurting all this time.

"On the way to the hospital you were followed by the Italians who always despited our family for our company. They managed to get rid of the two cars who were supposed to protect you... you were getting shot at apparently and a tire got hit making you spin. A minute later they set the car on fire with our parents still inside. There was nothing to do... They all thought you were still in there, nobody saw you coming out of the car and escape. " I don't react to his story, I couldn't. All my life I though it was a simple car crash, but no... people wanted to kill us. Images of crash plays in my head.the shattered windows, the blood on moms hand, dad unconscious...

" I- I need a second..." I finally breath out after seconds of silence. " They are dead now, are they ? Please tell me the bastard who did this died and got what they deserved..." I add quickly as thoughts of them still being here haunts me.

"Yes Angel." Damon speaks up and I watch as both Blake and Ethan give him a look, before redirecting it at me.

"Why didn't you come ? Why did you leave us alone in the car ? Y-you could have done something..." I exclaim at the same time that I suddenly stand up. Rage was filling me up completely and I couldn't stop myself from yelling. " We had money, how could you let something like this happen ! Because of that I got fucking tortured for 10 years straight !"

I watch my brothers faces turn into pure shock as I yell out these phrases without thinking. I angrily leave the room, completely ignoring the yells of my brothers that order me to come back. Fuck that.

I slam my door shut when I enter my bedroom and just break down on the floor. I don't even know why I am crying right now, I guess the news that someone killed a part of my family just crushed me. It wasn't an accident. If we didn't have such a big business maybe they would still be alive, with us. Mom would give me hugs and comfort me on my bad days, dad would scold me for talking to boys or scold me for sneaking out.

But no. It's not like that. Life is unfair and you can't change it anymore.

I probably stayed in my bed for the whole afternoon, I even skipped dinner, even though it clearly displeased my brothers.

I felt bad for talking like that to them... it wasn't their fault everything happened like it did. It was wrong of me to yell at them, they are clearly hurt by the situation and I just added fuel on the fire.

I checked the clock on my phone, only to see that it is already 1am. I know I couldn't fall asleep again. That's when the memory of what I did with Ethan earlier popped in my head. Oh no.

A small smirk appears on my lips as I remember the hidden door in the garage.

Don't do it.

Bad idea.

They will find out.

Fuck this.

I am going.

I jump out of my bed and walk on my tippy toes towards my closet to grab a hoodie. Quickly I pull it over my head and open my door just enough to check if there are any of my brothers herding in the corridors. After being sure it's safe to go, I sneak through the dark hallways all the way down stairs to the garage. I don't forget to close my bedroom door and use one of my hair pins to close it, so my brothers wouldn't suspect that I left my room. I stop in my tracks when I remember one thing that could be quite useful for me tonight.

Stupid car keys.

I mentally slap myself for that, because I have no clue where they could be. Just thing, where is the most logic place to put all the car keys.

It should be somewhere in the garage right ?

I remember the guy that gave Ethan the keys today was there in less than a minute, which means that he didn't have the time to go upstairs to grab the keys.

I check around the garage door, but find nothing. What if it was just inside the house in front of the door to enter the garage. Slowly I open the door I just walked through seconds ago and search for something that could look like a hidden compartment or something like that.

Bingo.

In the wall, I can see the contour of a compartment. I push my hand on it, before releasing it and just like I imagine the little door opened to reveal at lease fifty car keys. I smile at that and decide to grab the keys of a brand new mustang Ford I saw earlier.

Perfect.

I close the little door again and go back in the garage to climb inside the car. I have no trouble to turn the engin on and soon I start driving towards the exit. The hidden door to leave this huge garage is now an other problem How the hell am I supposed to open it.

This thought doesn't even have the time to pass through my head as a light blue light flashed at my car. Oh shit.

I panic for a second only to realise later that it was actually a laser scanning the car, before the doors of the garage open magically.

Genius.

The twins probably installed something that only recognises their car, so it won't be used by some else. Well suck in that boys, I just took your car.

Adrenaline is pumping through my veins and I don't waste a second longer to push on the pedal which allows the car to speed into the darkness of the night.
