Dante wasn't happy not one bit. His theory didn't plan out but he wasn't stopping. He knew it was Lexi who caused that allergic reaction, she knew Emilia had an allergy, but the question was did she know how bad?

A scary thought entered his mind.

Was this her second attempt of getting rid of Em?

He had been the one to carry Emilia to the nurses office, he had seen her struggle to breath. What if she had been alone? What if Sofia wasn't there to get him?

He knew he had to tell Damon but he wanted to figure it out himself first.

No one had a problem with Em at school at least he didn't think they did.

He had gone to the hospital and requested her records, at first they were against it because he wasn't the guardian but then he brought Damon's name into it to one member of the staff who just so happened to work for Damon.

Fortunately for Emilia, the case was still active and because of this they hadn't updated her records to say signs of abuse , they had to wait until the police had finished as it was a sensative investigation.

Dante was pissed when he saw there was no signs of allergic reactions.

Maybe he was overthinking.

They were twins, he was being paranoid, Lexi wouldn't kill her own twin. That was just messed up.

It was probably a prank meant to be harmless.

He dropped that thought and decided to get to school.

Everyone was still talking about the incident, no one dared mention it to him directly though in fear he'd snap.

Class went by and soon it was lunch time. He walked into the cafeteria and all eyes landed on him. He ignored the attention though and scanned the room. Matteo wasn't here again.

He got out his phone to message Damon as he turned to leave

He slipped his phone into his pocket and went to leave when he suddenly turned.

His eyes focused in on the table with her friends and he walked over much to everyone's suprise.

"Is she okay" Antonio and Sophia asked at the same time almost.

"She's getting there. Now Sophia let's talk"

"About what" Sophia whispered, she didn't want to be on Dante's bad side and she feared she was.

He was aware, Sophia had told her friends she was ill and that's the way Em preferred it so he decided the topic was to be discussed elsewhere.

"Come walk with me"

Sophia gulped but knew better than to say no.

So she packed her stuff and grabbed her bag and followed him.

"I swear I don't know anything" Sophia panicked.

"I want to know more about this allergic reaction, you was with her when it happened. We aren't discussing it at the table as I'm aware you told them she was ill and I'm sure Emilia would like to keep it that way"

"Oh" Sophia was suprised that he wasn't going to threaten her life.

"Yeah so tell me everything you can remember, I hope you don't mind but I need to find my brother so you will be coming along with me "

Sophia nodded "is she really okay though"

"She's getting better, physically she's okay but mentally she isn't exactly the best shape but she will be soon"

"Okay. Well I don't really remember much only it happened so suddenly, it was awful to watch I didn't know what to do. She couldn't breath and she couldn't..." Sophia burst out crying, she didn't mean to but seeing her best friend in that state hurt her.

Dante wasn't one to share feelings but when he had got to her, he realized he had felt the same way Sophia did. "She's okay though, the nurse helped her, we found out what caused it and it won't happen again"

"What was it, if you don't mind me asking"

"Some laundry spray thing. It was one of the ingredients used in it" Dante said.

"Soooo Lexi did it"

Dante stopped walking and looked at her.

"Oh god. I'm so so sorry I didn't mean to get involved" Sophia quickly said, she started to panic, she had practically insulted his sister to his face.

"Why do you think it was Lexi"

"Oh it's just with everything going on and stuff we realized they don't get along. It obviously wasnt you, your brother seems to naive to try and do something "

"We have two more brothers you know"

Sophia gulped as she remembered the rumours "okay then how do you guys know she has an allergy but Emilia doesn't know" Sophia asked.

"You have a good point. I will admit I believe it to be her too. I just need proof to show she knew" Dante admitted, thinking Sophia could be helpful.

"Well it's not her first attack if she knew about it so maybe contact the hospital or a school nurse at her old school"

Dante smiled, he definitely could check a school nurse at her old school "you have been most helpful, why don't you get back to lunch"

Sophia breathed a sigh of relief when she was finally away.

Dante entered the library which he had walked to with Sophia before sending her away.

Matteo was sat reading, Dante sighed "how can you expect to do well if you are too hungry to focus" he told Matteo.

"I'm not hungry" Matteo forced out.

"Clearly there is something you aren't telling us, whats going on" Dante said.

"Nothing is going on" Matteo snapped.

"Then let's go get lunch" Dante told him

"No"

"Why? It's not like you to ever miss a meal and that's all you do"

"I got a detention" Matteo snapped.

"Is that all ,you always get them, why is this different"

"I was in a bad mood, he gave me a detention so I grabbed my stuff and left. I left class early and I could have gone right instead of left. If I took a different corridor I could have stopped it. I could have seen who did it. She wouldn't be like this if it wasn't for me. Instead I took the left corridor and went off with a bunch of girls " Matteo snapped, confessing what had been tearing him up.

"You can't tell the others, especially Damon, he will hate me and definitely blame me" Matteo added.

"Ok first you are not to blame, why would you go right it's further into the school. You couldn't have known. Damon won't get angry, he's actually just as concerned for you. So is dad"

"What do you mean"

Dante sighed and took out his phone. First he went into the message Alesandro sent him this morning.

Then he went onto the one from Damon who had replied whilst they were talking.

"What's he telling dad"

"That you're not eating at school now"

"Fine I'll eat but on the condition you don't tell them "

"I won't but I bet they already know. Damon has been looking through the cameras and dad will have had the school emailing or calling him" Dante agreed.

"Anyway I'm hungry let's go" Dante added.

Meanwhile

Alesandro and Emilia were spending the day together. Emilia had wanted to go outside, so they went for a small walk in town, Emilia enjoyed it. She had gotten a little nervous when there was quite alot of people but Alesandro simply took hold of her hand, he didn't bring it up, they kept walking. They found a small quiet cafe and stopped for lunch and something to drink.

Alesandro decided he should break the news now.

"I don't know if you heard but I did tell Matteo and Alexia they should be straight home" he started.

Emilia nodded, she hadn't heard but she wanted to know where this was going.

"Well sweetheart, my parents are visiting . They have been away on holiday the last month. They travel alot so whenever they come home, they visit us" Alesandro explained, straight away he saw fear.

"They weren't due back for a few days but they decided to come a little earlier. Anyway I decided not to tell them about you and Alexia to give them a suprise " Alesandro explained.

"I know you don't like talking in public but are you okay with them visiting, if you're not you can tell me and I'll tell them we are busy. you don't have to say it, just nod or shake your head "

"Im okay with it" she whispered deciding to talk because of how safe she felt around Alesandro, she didn't think anything bad would happen.

"You spoke, I'm so proud of you sweetheart " he said a little taken back. He was smiling widely at the fact this was the first time she had spoken outside the house.

"I'm not ready to speak full time though" she whispered hoping he didn't expect that from her.

"Of course not bambina, it's whenever you are ready to talk, in the mean time we are quite happy with the nodding and shaking your head. I'm just so proud of you that you spoke. Take all the time you need,I love you so much"
