Leonardo

8 years ago, the only bit of joy was taken from me
8 years ago, I lost the smile on my face
8 years ago, I lost my family
8 years ago was the day that still haunts me in my sleep

Flashback

"Leo?
"Leo!
"Leonardo!!
"Jeremy, let me sleep."
I shouted, frustrated

"You will sleep later. Now, help me find Kiara!"

Kiara?

"Wasn't she with you?"
I immediately stand up from the bed and wore a shirt

"She is not in her room, and the others are still sleeping."

Jeremy said worriedly

We went out of the room and started to search for here,but when we failed. we woke up mom and dad, and they went frantic.

I think that was the first time I ever saw dad cry before. We didn't wake up Allan because he is still little and would get worried

After one hour

We searched the whole mansion, but she was nowhere to be found. We flipped the whole mansion, but we didn't find her. We were all Fucking worried Jeremy and Lorenzo were crying Kyle was throwing and breaking things and I was sitting on the couch with my head in my hands next to dad who was trying to calm mum down

But suddenly we heard tiny steps running towards us and we all went silent
"Leo, what is happening?"
"Why is mama crying"
Allan asked me with watering eyes
"Ally, come here,"
I patted my lap for him to sit
"It's fine. Everything is fine. Let's get you back to bed, hum?"I said and
lift him and start
walking upstairs to his room

I opened the door and carried him to the bed

I was about to wrap him in the blanket, but he asked me the question that I so desperately avoided

"Leo, where is Ari?"

End of flashback

Since that day, I wasn't the same person, mum and dad have gotten in a car accident,hopping to find our little sister, but it turned out to another nightmare that haunted me till this day

I had to take over dad's company and become one of the youngest Ceo's in France,and look after grumpy teenagers and a growing child

Fun, right?
No, it wasn't

Right now

I was looking at some files when Enzo came through my office door.
He walked towards me
But stopped

"Wow, you look like a ghost,"
I give him a glare and continue to read the files

"No, seriously, Leo, you have to take a break. You will get sick." He said and plopped himself on my coach and took out the most expensive whiskey bottle from my liquor shelf

"Don't touch that,"I said. I didn't even have to look to know what he was doing

"Oops,I already did," He said and smiled brazenly

"I'm driving with you today," He said and took a sip from the brown liquor

He got his license taken a few days ago
Because he drove drunk

"I need to finish this presentation, and we will go."

Maybe I should really have a break. I can't remember the last time I slept.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"OK, I'm done. Let's go. "
I said and got up from the chair and went to get my coat
"Finally,"

Lorenzo said, and we headed towards home

In the car

"Do you want to get some coffee?"
I asked Lorenzo, and he nodded his head as a yes
"A friend told me about a new cafe, why don't we try it?"

I nodded
I turned the car back
"Fine, where is it?"
I asked him
"Wait, he sent me the name."
He said and looked through his massages

"It's called"

Café noire
