"Milo what happened..?" I whisper looking at my brother whose head was in his hands. He was shaking slightly and he smelled like alcohol.

"Sorella, mi dispiace tanto." I heard him whisper as he looks at me. "Era solo." He mumbles randomly.

{t- Sister, I'm so sorry}{He was alone}

"Milo, you not making any sense. What happened?" I sighed getting annoyed.

"Father is dead."

I felt my heart slow or was it just beating too fast for me to understand. I couldn't speak or breathe. I couldn't see anymore as the water rushed to my eyes spilling out. I could feel the heat of my tears as they run down my cheeks.

"How.." I try saying but it comes on harshly and muffled.

"He was attacked," My brother says looking at me. "They even sent me a photo of his dead body, his body was so bloody.." He says pain ringing through his voice.

"Did you find the people!" I scream out, getting angry as more tears filled my eyes. "Where is his body?!"

"They left the body, it was found by Sara the maid.." He whispers, "I couldn't find anything about the people who did it, not a single piece of evidence." My brother's eyes say as tears fill his, causing me to start sobbing loudly.

We stayed like this until a couldn't keep crying, I wanted to but my body wouldn't let me.

I stood up causing my body to ache in pain, I was exhausted. "I am going to kill them, Milo," I whisper as strong as I can but my voice breaks. My brother stares at me in worry.

"Oakley, killing..." He starts. "Will kill your soul, you have a good soul." I glare at him.

"How can you say that!" I scream out. "They killed Father," I cry out falling to my knees. "Is this because he's not your real father?!"

"Oakley." My brother says harshly. "He is still my father, blood or not."

"Then they deserve to die!"

"Yes, Oakley they do." He sighs helping stand up. "But not at your hands.." I scoff loudly, pushing away from him. I leave the room with a glare. Walking downstairs slowly, moving to the kitchen to get water.

I hear a body shuffle from behind me.

"Angel," I hear a rough voice say behind me causing me to turn. I see Roland in sweats and no shirt. Much like the first night I stayed here. I wish I could go back...

He sees my face and how bloodshot it is, I look down as pain flashed in his eyes. I feel the tears return to my eyes, threatening to spill.

He walks over to me quickly tucking his arms around my waist. I shove my face into the crook of his neck, tears falling. I start sobbing quickly as the thought of my father flashes in my head. I feel his hand rubbing circles on my waist. "Come, let's get you cleaned up." I sigh as I feel him drag me upstairs to what I guess is his room.

It was darkly lit and every piece of furniture was either gray or black. He had larger windows that opened to the backyard. I noticed the giant king bed in the middle.

He pulls me to the bathroom picking me up swiftly and gently, placing me on the counter. The bathroom was big and almost all marble.

"You need to shower.." He mumbles softly, leaving the room. He comes back with a towel, a dress shirt, and some sweats. He turns to start the shower that flows down like a waterfall, the marble walls shining. He checks if it's warm as I stare at my hands thinking.

"How are you?" I hear a whisper causing me to look up, he was standing right in front of my legs eyeing me carefully.

"I'm afraid I'll miss him forever," I whisper as he puts my hand in his. "I feel useless, my father is dead and I can't do anything about it."

"We will find who did it.." He says strongly. Something in the way he said it made me believe it was true.

"He wasn't even a good father, he wasn't there for us. He was never home. I hated him all my life. I don't remember the last time he said I love you. And now he's dead, I should still hate him. I should but I can't!" I rant as I feel a tear slip my cheek.

"Oakley, he was your father." Roland smiled down at me. "You might hate him, but we always hate the things we love." I heard him whisper when he pulls my body into a hug. My arms hesitantly wrapped around his large body.

"Now take a shower. Call me if you need anything, I'll be right outside." He smiles pulling away, the heat from his body leaving with him. He leaves the bathroom causing the room to fill with just the sound of water. I sigh as the door shuts.

I strip out of my school uniform slowly. Feeling the water to see the temperature, it was warm so I stepped in. I stood there for a little just thinking, I couldn't tell if my face was wet from the shower or my tears anymore.

I washed my body and hair care with Roland's products that smelled like him. I quickly got out wrapping my body with a small white towel. The steam of my shower fogged the mirror. Once I felt that my body dried down, I put on my underwear and Roland's shirt. Again I tried putting on the sweats but they were even bigger than the ones that Reed gave me last time so I just left my legs bare. I quickly fold my clothes placing them on the counter.

I walked out seeing Roland in his bed with his laptop in his lap. I slowly walk over to him. "Thank you," I whisper causing him to look up. He eyes my legs, I look down quickly.

"Sure, angel," He says looking back down at his laptop.

"Is that work?" I asked sitting next to him. His bed felt so soft under my skin. I could also feel the heat coming off of his body, his chest still exposed.

"Yes," He grunts sadly. I take his laptop closing it. He glares at me but lets me place it on his nightstand.

"It's late you should get some sleep, I'm going to go to the guest bedroom.." I whisper hugging him softly.

"I'll be here if you need me." I hear him say as I shut his door walking to the room I stayed in last time. I quickly got into the bed hoping to fall asleep but my mind was still racing.

I sat there thinking about my father for a long time, my mind not slowing until my body took over causing me to pass out.

"Your useless!" My father screams at me shoving me into the door causing me to scream in pain. "Why can't you be more like your brother!" He yells harshly.

"I'm sorry! Father, I'm sorry!" I say in pain as he pushed me again.

"I'm dead remember!" He yells once more. "And it's all your fault!"

"No, it's not!" I whisper.

"Yes, it is!" He says slapping me causing me to fall.

"How? You died from the mafia, remember father you started this. You brought our family into this, not me!" I scream standing up.

"You caused this girl." He chuckles.

"I'm not going to fight with you, father.."

"I know, you always run from your problems." He smiles down at me.

"I haven't run from anything and we both know that!"

"Oakley, your weak little scared girl who runs from your problems. Everyone knows that." He says gripping my hair dragging me. I let out a scream in pain.

"Oakley"

"Oakley."

I gasp for air as I sit up taking in the bed and a large person sitting on the edge. Their hand was on my cheek rubbing it softly. I flinch back not realizing who it is.

"Oakley, it's me, Roland." He whispers as I look at him taking in his expression. "You had a bad dream, I think." I nod slowly.

It was just a dream.

"I'm sorry.." I whisper.

"It's ok, I heard you scream and got worried that someone was trying to kill you." He chuckles awkwardly. I nod feeling tears rush to my eyes. "Shh," He whispers touching my cheek gently. "Your okay, I'm here." I nod softly.

I sat there quietly in his arms. I felt myself getting tired as he lays me back down getting ready to leave. I grip his arm as he gets up.

"Stay," I whisper. "Please." He looks at me, he seemed to be think deeply. He doesn't move so I remove my hand and turn away from him, closing my eyes. I felt the bed dip slightly behind me causing me to turn. My face was very close to his as his eyes dip down to my lips making me pull back slightly. "Thank you," I mumble.

"Of course," He whispers grabbing my waist pulling me into him. My face gets pushed into his neck making my body relax. I feel my mind start to slip back into sleep.

What is he doing to me...
