Aria V POV.Song of the chapter 'No tears left to cry' by Ariana Grande

The big Six-Chapter 1- From a home to a home

"Aria," my brother, Geovani Valente whispers to me."Pay effing attention, Did u even hear a word I said?" I softly smile back in response and shake my head no. He facepalms and we hear another bomb explode.

"Aria, if we don't leave we will die here, we will meet dad at our secret hideout now put a step on it will ya, they are tryna kill everyone and if we don't move then we are EFFING DEAD, DEAD MEAT, you hear me, DEAD!" he whisper yells at me.

I almost laugh. I try my best to hold it in but a giggle escapes. Because, well his angry face is just the cutest it looks like he is blushing when in fact he is angry.

Roasting to be exact. However, the small insignificant giggle that escaped caught us some attention. We are currently hiding in the master bathroom(which belongs to my dad, Loki Valente), and we can hear someone coming towards the door.

I shiver in fear not because I'm a weak ass mush who is afraid on the inside but considering that I am in a bathroom and there is nowhere to go but through the door and someone is coming TOWARDS the door my insides are churning with fear and me fearing is not a pretty sight.

I be sweating like I just ran a marathon and they are telling me I gotta run another one.

Geo (Geovani) however seeing my fear gives me reassurance by tapping my shoulder and handing me a pistol and a dagger. I smirk cause he knows my speciality is the dagger.

The door opens and who do we see.... My dad's traitor 'best friend' Ruel Ragino who looks like the devil was really giving him a hard time in hell. He has a stubble on his jaw, sort of limping like someone broke his leg. His clothes are bloody (with his own blood I hope).

He has a black eye cuts and bruises all over his body. He looks dreadfully tired and he is in a dilapidated condition. His body looked worn out, tired, sick, his skin looks pale, ugly, disgusting and his smile oh my god his disgusting smile.

I coldly glare at him. Keeping a bit of my anger in. My dagger in hand ready to strike.

He smiles a crooked smile allowing us to see a couple of broken teeth.

My brother blushes( you know the angry blush). But he has a gun pointed at Ruel's head so I guess that says something.

" O it's you two, I've been looking all over for you. I only became a traitor to know their plan. So I know it. I will fill you in on it soon. But not here. Go, run away, don't come back," He says sincerely placing his hand in the air as if surrendering to us but with a glint in his eye I couldn't quite comprehend.

"Hmph, give me one good reason I shouldn't rip out your guts and feed it to you. If you really were with us you would've warned us about the attack. But you didn't. And now you expect me to believe you?" I say coldly.

" I told your father. I couldn't fully say it. But I gave him clues. I tried. I really did. please lower the gun Geo, my boy," Ruel counters.

My brother is still quite defensive and challenges him in a cold, calculating and deep voice, "if you really are with us.... then let us go."

And this time he doesn't look like he's blushing. Nuh-uh-uh. He looks angry, really serious.

Ruel smiles and gives us a display of his disgusting teeth and says, " of course your safety is my priority, go now and don't look back. and don't try to reform the mafia. Take it from me," he says, but in a hidden mocking voice.

I glare at him and on my way out stab him in the back with my dagger.

" Your eyes and voice gave you away.... liar," I smirk a very evil smirk and slash his throat, it is deep enough to kill him but not right away.

He will be feeling the pain for 20 minutes before he dies. Me and Geo head out of the bedroom and out of this warzone, I called home 30 minutes ago with wicked, murderous looks on our faces.

Yup, I am apart of THEEE Italian mafia nicknamed Blood Cobras. It's been created over 150 years ago. And well in 30 minutes it is all destroyed.

The mafia that has hundreds of different locations all over the world, utterly destroyed. The main house demolished. Every other house we owned was attacked too.

I don't even know what families have survived. But we will know because every family has its own hideout house and as soon as they get to it they will contact us so that we can keep in touch.

So that was where Geo and I were headed, to our house. "Geo.... Aria.... thank... God, " wheezes out a very wounded Xavier as he limps towards me.

I try to hide my horror at my bigger brother's state and place his hand over my shoulder to help him limp towards the door. Geo is busy looking for a car to get away from this hellhole and I am tryna help out Xavy here.

Xavy then starts to wheeze out some random words,"brother.......west.......wing......help.......not........dead."

I somehow make sense of what he says and lay him against the wall and begin running to west wing shouting " Geo, stay with xavy and keep him safe, ill be back!" Geo was irritated I could hear it from the loud sigh of frustration but by then I was already at the end of the hall.

I continued running towards the west wing and into Seth's bedroom which is the first bedroom on the west wing.

It has a bed in the centre of it and is quite spacious with only a glass table beside the bed and a loveseat that is in front of a smashed tv.

I frown seeing no one there. But then I decided this would be the bedroom all my brothers would decide to stay at since it is the safest so I did a deeper search.

5 minutes later....

I am practically on the verge of pulling my hair out in frustration. Where the hell could they be?

I begin glancing around the room in frustration and my eyes land on a note hidden in the corner of Seth's dilapidated room underneath some gunshot residue. I smile and walk over to the note. It is in code and says, highlighting some letters.

ÏF YOU READ THIS ÑOTE, IT WOULD bE BECÀUŠE I Am GONĒ. I AM ÑOt ALIVE. SO DONT LOOK FOR ME. I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND.

In Basent? Wait he must have meant Basement! Were they trying to code the person who would understand this note. Well, I mean its probably worth a try.

Or it can also be a setup. I mean why would gunshot residue be on it. Well, if it's for my brothers it wouldn't hurt to try.

I slowly walk out of the room not making a sound and heading into the direction of the basement.

As I slowly make my way down the stairs that lead to the basement I hear a creak from down below. I pull out my dagger and get ready to stab someone and then turn the light on. What I see is what our basement looks, like a nice gaming room.

It seems to not have been affected yet, nothing is destroyed. I slowly walk down the stairs and then start searching the hideouts that we have in the basement.

5 minutes later....

I am at the final hideout the secret layer. it's an underground secret passage that is in the basement. I lift the carpet then open the secret passage entrance.

I slowly lower myself in and look around. I then slowly say their names, " Seth.....Blake...Thor?" I hear a groan in response and a flashlight turns on. I see my beaten up brothers there.

I smile a warm smile and they try to return the smile but it comes out as a grimace. I then go down on my knees and begin helping them up, one by one and leaning them against the wall to help support their weight because they really are heavy.

I go into the middle of the little circle they formed and begin to help them make their way back to Geo and Xavy.

By the way, this is the order of my brothers Seth{1st son-20-Deth}, Xavier{second son-19-Xavy}, Geovani {third son-18-Geo}, Blake{fourth son-17-blakey},

Thor {cause my mom loved watching thor while she was pregnant with him-last son-16- Nickname Thot}, and I am the last and am a girl, the only girl.{15, nickname-Aria V}

ten minutes later.....

We have made it back to Geo and Xavy all in one piece thankfully and now its time to head out."

Aria, while you were gone I found the keys for the grey Cadillac. cmon help blake and thor and ill help Seth and Xavy. Okay?" Geo says to me.

"Plan sounds solid. Let's go," I say ready to get away from this hellhole already. The bad memories here outweigh the good. Geo holds on to 'deth' and 'Xavy' since they are the heaviest and I help 'blakey' and 'thot'.

I wait for Geo to drive the grey Cadillac escalade to us but I just couldn't help but notice that my bro doesn't know how to drive. I mean he is swerving left and right like a crazy guy who just got a car and doesn't know how to do shit.

He'd be driving steadily for two seconds and then take a deep turn to the right then a turn to the left to get him back on track which in turn causes him to do another right turn.

I instantly start fretting. I am gonna effing die before I even go to the secret home. Just take a damn look at his driving and you'll see, with Geo's crazy driving I will surely die.

And then sadly none of my other brother's are capable of driving, not in their state. I mean I am fretting more than when I was in the nazi mansion (the ambushed 'home')

"He is a horrible driver ain't he, He failed twenty-five driving tests and now you see why, its cause he a effing idiot, " my dad who appeared out of nowhere hisses.

I turn to look at my dad in surprise. He smiles back at me and well I can't help but notice he doesn't have much bruises on him.

I mean I guess that is what happens when you are skilled at fighting and shit. He, in turn, helps with the boys, Deth and Xavy.

My bro pulls up in front of us and my dad helps the boys into the Cadillac as do I and then we get in and Geo commences driving. {i will tell at a later date the reason behind all their nicknames}.

Geo then begins driving and to my surprise, he is actually driving like a stable person. At the speed of 2 mph. Lol.

I couldn't help but burst out laughing at my effed up family. I mean my dad is a happy go lucky.

My bro Geo cant drive but yet he is driving and well all our lives are f---ing ruined and we should be running away yet here we are, in the driveway of our warzone moving out at 2 miles per hour.

Like 2. not even 20, just 2. My dad, he just sits in the car with a smile on his face like we are in heaven and not a warzone full of nazis. But when he turns to look at my bro, Geo, he looks as though he would love to hit him in the head with a baseball bat.

I burst out laughing at their reactions and Geo says to us, " We are almost there." I can't help it but to continue my laughing till my ribs hurt. See that is why I say I have a effed up family. I mean we are still in the driveway of our house of devastation and despair and yet Geo is saying " we are almost there" like an effing idiot.

My dad just bursts out laughing and then says "Geo put a step on it will ya."With that command, Geo clamps on the gas and well we will see if I die cause this dude......

4 hours later.... my dad and geo switched places two hours into the driving.

"Wake up... let's go in, we are going to America...Aria, wake the hell up..If you don't wake up I am gonna ruin your face once and for all!" my dad says in a warning tone.

Instantly as he mentions, my face my eyes open. "Hey dad, I think my face is fine the way it is," I say chuckling awkwardly.

Geo only facepalms and dad says " Come let's go in we have to get our private jet, like NOW!" Dad helps Seth only because he is sorta tired from the driving.

Geo helps blake and xavy. And I help Thor. We all hobble into the airport and o my lord the stares we receive. I just put on my cold calculating face as do everyone else showing that we do not want to be helped, or spoken to.

We then walk over to a specific attendant called Shirley who quickly calls an assistant to lead us to our private jet. As soon as we walk into the jet I rush to a seat and place Thor on it cause well, he was starting to get heavy.

My dad and Geo only laugh at me and in their own time put The others on the Seat. I sit and buckle up and wait for us to take off. Shortly after the pilot and flight attendant arrive and we get ready to take off.....

5 hours later.......

We arrive in California. That plane ride was just.... exhausting. Who knew we would have a bad atmosphere right around that time. It just seems that today is not our day.

I mean as soon as I drifted to sleep then the ride got bumpy and wakes me up again. That is why it was so exhausting. Geo and dad didn't get much sleep either.

I then proceed to exit the plane as soon as it parks in the hanger. I step off the plane with Thor's hand draped over my shoulder and head out of the airport.

Dad then calls some guy he knows using a random persons phone. In a short while, I see Mr.Parker, a good family friend stepping out of his car to assist us. He is driving a 2020 white ford expedition.

I smile at him and then I see his super cute son, Greyson step out of the car to assist us too. I mean a perfect sharp jawline, golden blond hair, nice tan skin, I mean which girl wouldn't have a crush on him?

Certainly, not this girl. He is super cute but let's contain ourselves Aria V now is not the time to go crazy over a boy. My heart just can't handle it.

I walk over to the car and enter and as soon as I get comfortable, fall asleep, this will make up for all the lost sleep I need.

1 hour later...

"Aria, It's Greyson and you are at your house, well your new home, um welcome to your new house," he says in a sort of awkward way.

I open my eyes to see why and realize what is happening. Greyson has to lean over me to exit the car cause Geo won't move from the door Greyson is supposed to exit from.

I send a death glare in Geo's direction and he smiles in return. Greyson looks sorta awkward just leaned over me to open the door. "uhh, you should exit first aria," he says.

"uh yh yh I should," I say finally coming back to my senses, what can I say, the view was mesmerizing.

I exit the car. I walk over to Geo while he is busy jeering Greyson and smack him at the back of his head. He turns to me with a death glare and that's when I know this is my last day to live.

I begin running towards the house which is quite small upon first glance, but made of concrete and painted gray with a white roof, containing 48 bedrooms and 48 bathrooms, 1 big kitchen, a beautifully decorated porch, two living rooms (don't ask why), a gaming room, a spa and a huge backyard. It also only has one floor above the ground but has 10 floors below.

It is pretty nice and I like it. I've never been here before but dad has told us all bout it and well I can see why he likes it.

He did the decorating for us, based on what our rooms at the past mansion home looked like. Geo stops chasing me after dad glares at him. Lol. We walk in together, the stronger helping the weaker and then we lay the weaker of us into beds.

Geo goes to sleep or text or maybe both while dad goes shopping for food and I start the mafia hacking to remove our names from the mafia system.

(your thoughts are probably...there was a mafia system! But yeah there is a mafia system that is how me know which person Is from which mafia, like I am from the blood cobra mafia, Its a rule that once a mafia has been defeated all the persons that was one in it should remove themselves or be removed, and trust me it isn't the removed you are thinking of.

It's really just for our safety, if someone from a mafia kills me then my family have proof I removed myself and then the leader of his clan should punish that person. Thank God for mafia rules. I mean yeah we are ruthless but there has to be order in everything right. If some people from the mafia were let loose to the world then majority of the people in the world would be dead.)

1 hour later.....

Well we are all tryna get adjusted to the new home and our new lifestyle without the mafia and the mafia was like our second family so you can imagine how hard it must be for us.

During the last hour, I had treated my brothers' wounds and let em get a 30-minute rest, I have also done the hacking I needed to do. So I feel pretty well accomplished.

I head downstairs to my room. It is nice and cosy with a fluffy carpet covering the entire floor. It also has a queen-sized bed that has white pillows and a peach bed-spread, on both sides of my bed. I look over at the small peach and white loveseat that is the corner of my room facing my television. My gold vanity is beside the door to my walk-in closet.

I smile at my surroundings and step into the bathroom. "Right now, I'm in a state of mind, I wanna be in like all the time, Ain't got no tears left to cry, So I'm pickin' it up, pickin' it up, I'm lovin', I'm livin', I'm pickin' it up, I'm pickin' it up, pickin' it up, I'm lovin', I'm livin', I'm pickin' it up (oh, yeah), I'm pickin' it up (yeah), pickin' it up (yeah), Lovin', I'm livin', so we turnin' up, Yeah, we turnin' it up, Ain't got no tears in my body, I ran out, but boy, I like it, I like it, I like it....." I sing while taking my clothes off to head into a nice shower.

I like Ariana grande's songs they keep me in a cheery mood. A happy mood even.

As soon as I step into the shower I scream, "HIT ME BABY ONE MORE TIME!" Cause the water was coldd. Then I hear someone running into my room and I recognize those heavy monsterous footsteps as Geo's.

I mean they are loud as hell, if we were on a top secret squad mission and had to be really stealthy and quiet, we would get caught because of Geo's feet. I instantly start shivering.

Not because I'm cold but because he was gonna open the door and see me naked if I don't do anything. I scream "IT'S OK! THE WATER WAS COLD. That's all."

I can literally hear Geo smirk behind the door. " So you are naked in the shower and you don't want me to see ya, I'm coming in," Geo says cunningly.

"No, Geo, No, Gimme one sec to wrap myself with a towel," I say panicking. "No can do Aria, you caused me to get up out of bed and soooo, I need to embarrass ya," He said with a cool voice.

While I begin stuttering "N-no g-geo cmon p-please." Geo then laughs. "Aria I would love to do that but its incest and I don't feel like seeing my sister's naked body, not right now at least, so I will have to turn down your offer, it was good to hear you stuttering little sis," he says laughing and walking away from the door.

I angrily sigh, finish showering and then put on this peach, lacey, mid-thigh dress with sequins at the tail and long flared sleeves and a flared skirt. Its also has a "V" shaped neckline. I smile, satisfied with my look.

I head out of the bathroom and sit in front of my vanity and start doing my hair which I succeed in doing in a high ponytail.

I head out of my room and go towards the elevator, in that same moment a cute guy, I do not know steps out of a room.

He smiles at me and I return the smile, and he introduces himself " Hi, I believe we have never met before, I am Caleb Valentino. Nice to meet you,".

So just maybe I am having one too many crushes.....
