AMY's POV:
I wrote all of the unknown numbers in my diary. I made three more copies and there are freaking 18 unknown numbers in total.
I put one in my bag - in case someone follows me again or kidnaps me then the list will work as a clue.
The second list, I taped on the damn fridge - if I ever get any more threatening texts from the unknown number I'll immediately note down on this one.
The last one I hid in my closet - for the worst possible scenario, if something happened to me at least my parents would know that I was living a fun life getting threats and all.

Erin's POV:
Me: Hey, I'm not coming back today. Don't worry, everything is under control here.
I texted Carl.
PC : I know.
Me: ..?
PC: I'm here too.
Me: Where? In the Lucchese's house?
PC: Yeah. In Enzo's study.
Me: No more book stealing!
I smiled as I sent an angry emoji.
PC: How funny! *eye rolling emoji
PC: He's with me by the way.
Me: How sad!
I mimicked him and put my cell phone inside my bag.
.
When I entered, Vin was already there, dressed in his peculiar style. He was wearing a hot pink shirt with long blue jeans, and a fedora hat to complete his funky look. He was also wearing shades in a dimly lit room. Well, I know the reason why.
Rob was setting up a music system with huge speakers. Is he planning to shake the whole mansion?
"Hey, Eriiiiin!" As soon as he saw me he ran blindly towards me. "Let's watch some movie while my Robot is setting the sound system." He pulled me hard almost making me fall on the ground.
Sigh, the night is still young!
.
We were selecting the songs on screen when the door kicked open.
"I freaking knew it! He was bloody being dramatic all day for no reason." Laure yelled at Vin. "I dared anyone to try and stop me from kicking this crazy guy!" She pointed at everyone dramatically.
Well, no need to dare us, we were not trying to stop you anyway. We didn't even move an inch from our places. Dane tried to shut his damn mouth. Rob didn't even bother to look up from his sound system. As for me, I looked at the young master, his eyes were fixed on the screen as if he didn't notice a girl shouting in his damn living room!
I took a deep breath and went towards my friend and placed my arm around her neck pulling her closer. She was shouting but I managed to pull her outside somehow. She was shouting at me for no reason. Dane followed us too, enjoying himself.
"Lau, shut your damn mouth and listen!" I tighten up the grip around her neck , choking her a bit.
"Don't make me pull your hair! Let go," She being a frustrated idiot didn't stop at all.
"Fine, if you want to know, just go to Vin's room."
"Why would I go there?"
"You'll see a spectacular scene you've never seen before in this mansion," Dane said in his typical deep voice. She narrowed her eyes at us, watching if we were messing with her or not.
"Fine! Now that you've successfully made me curious... I'll be back." She said and took long strides towards Vin's bedroom.
Master Enzo was coming towards us but turned in his steps as he saw Laure going the other way.
.
When Dane and I went back inside Vin was singing some heartbreaking song. What the hell!
Then for a long while, we patiently watch him ruining the song, glimpse of us. It took everything in us not to yell at him and stop his singing.
We were listening to his sad song when the door burst open, again. I saw the newcomer and...urgh. Is it okay for me to say that sometimes I wanted to punch my best friend?
"Holy chicken wings, Erin!" Laure came exhilarated.
"Yeah, I know."
"He freaking wrecked his damn room!" She sounds too excited.
"Uh huh!"
"And he's now having a hella party while dressed up as if he wasn't dying in the evening!" She looked too animated, making me chuckle.
We turned to look back at Vin, who was singing in a high pitched voice. Trying to hit the notes they were too high for him to reach. He noticed us talking and not listening to his heartbreaking cries. He wasn't singing but shouting into his mic, I could see the veins in his throat all swollen up.
"Let's cheer our crazy man up!" Laure grinned and jumped on the table while snatching the mic from Vin, who just shouted at her while trying to push her off the table.
Laure just laughed hard while selecting a song for herself. They both were fighting over the damn mic like little kids in kindergarten. Then the door opened and master Enzo appeared. Dane and I both hid our smiles because he was trying to reach Laure for a while, and my best friend kept running around here and there.
Master Enzo, being a graceful man, never ran around in the house. So it took him quite a while to come this far.
"Hey, Zozo, hold your crazy brother for a second." Before master Enzo could even understand what was going on, she freaking threw our dear young master over to him. Vin shouted at the top of his lungs with horror of falling. Master Enzo caught him instinctively.
My eyes widened while Dane's jaw dropped down to the floor. Our future capo glared at his betrothed who was laughing so hard that she, out of habit, slapped Rob's back making him jump in astonishment.
Poor Rob was busy with his wires when he felt the impact on his back, he fell back on the ground while grabbing his chest tightly. He must've thought he got an electrical shock or something. But when he saw unhinged Laure near him. Something changed in his face.
She was still laughing holding the mic near her face. Enjoying Vin go crazy. But she didn't have eyes on her back, so that is why she didn't see Rob who was now taking off his vision glasses. He put them aside and raised a tiny wire in his hand and...
Zap!
"Hahaha Aaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!"
Holy Rob! He gave an electric shock to Laure's back. I know the voltage was bare minimum but it was enough to make everyone flabbergasted. Laure looked funny with her eyes widened, mouth fell open.
She who was first laughing in the mic, got shocked. After recovering from initial amazement she now started shouting. She threw the mic on the sofa and rubbed her back trying to ease some internal buzz.
Vin being Vin was the first to laugh out loud and start rolling onto the ground. I didn't notice that I was laughing so hard that my eyes got teary.
"Robert!" Master Enzo was out of words.
"Bloody Rob! What was that for?" Laure glared at him.
"How does it feel to taste your own medicine?" He questions back in his robotic voice.
"You... Bloody four-eyed!" Laure jumped on him from the table making him fall back on the sofa.
"Laurey!" Master Enzo seemed to be still out of words while Vin was huffing hard, trying to catch his breath a little.
I felt an arm around my neck, but I didn't want to miss this scene in front of me, not even for a second.
"This house is like a freaking mental asylum." A cold voice comments near my ear making me chuckle.
Laure sat on Rob while trying to punch his face, but Rob was blocking his each and every punch. Even though he's good at fist-fighting, he didn't use his hands to hurt others. And for that people occasionally took him as a nerd who didn't know how to fight.
It's just not Rob's style to go into the battlefield. He likes to blast the whole thing at once while sitting in his Aircon room.
Suddenly the table turned, Rob stood up while Laure was clinging to him like a monkey. I see him trying to get to the other side of the sofa to master Enzo so that he takes his maniac girl. Master Enzo was about to take some action too but Vin stopped him by jumping on his back.
I couldn't decide to take anyone's side so I just stood by and decided to enjoy the scene. Even Dane seems to be having a hard time deciding, in the end, he just grabs the popcorn bucket and starts eating, enjoying the show. I took some popcorn too in my hand to eat. I held one towards Carl who ate it from my hand.
Rob was quite enjoying himself, as he got the chance to demonstrate his power. Even Laure got competitive. She was now grabbing his shoulder while trying to give him some kind of taekwondo throw. We stood by as they jumped around at each other and we moved too to give them space. I was happy to see my best friend struggling with our handsome nerd. Even Carl looked impressed.
"Freaking Clark Kent!" He commented, making me laugh.
Vin left his brother alone and grabbed a cushion before taking part in fighting. Monkey fighting turns into a taekwondo showdown. And now Vin successfully turns it into a pillow fight. When Laure noticed his presence she grinned and grabbed a cushion for herself. She hit the young master way too hard as if she was taking some personal revenge on him.
Suddenly the door opened and two figures walked in.
"Pillow fight!" Leà giggles while looking at her sister and Vin on the floor hitting each other.
Master Nero first looked at his crazy fratello lying on the floor and then at his sane fratello who was going insane with every second passing.
Little Leà found a cushion for herself but before anyone could stop her she joined the fight too, hitting her own sister, Laure. Master Nero just shook his head and sat on the single sofa. He took his guitar out of his bag and started...playing!?
Everyone looked at him and stopped in their tracks. Rob was the first one to step back, he took out his glasses and wore them. He finger-combed his hair to recompose himself.
Laure was second to step back. She came to us with a victorious grin on her face. She took the mic back and started selecting the song for herself. Only Leà and Vin left pillow fighting like little kids, at least one of them was actually a kid as for the other…
Sigh!
Music started to play...
Laure started to sing in her not-so-good voice, master Nero twitched his lips, openly disliking her singing skills.
As if Laure was not enough Vin also joined her on the table to sing with her. Surprisingly sharing the mic, they started dancing like crazy on their 12×6 ft stage. Is it a freaking duet performance?
Laure gave the mic back to Vin and jumped down towards master Enzo who just gave a shy smile. I was busy laughing at them when she pulled him to dance too. Leà grabbed master Nero who looked like dying from the inside by watching a good song being destroyed brutally.
She held his shoulder from behind and started walking and jumping. Laure was the third to join her sister; she even managed future capo to follow their line. I placed my hands on master Enzo's shoulder and Dane took Rob and followed our lead.
We started a whole freaking Dragon parade in the living room. Everyone was laughing to look at master Nero who was the head of the dragon! We circled Vin who kneeled down on the table and was trying to hit the high note.
Everyone was laughing like crazy. I broke the chain and went behind to get Carl to join us. He just looked at me surprised and then became the tail of the dragon. I beamed at him over my shoulder. He just began to move unwillingly with the rhythm.
Vin was showing his best dancing steps. From the corner of my eyes, I saw a familiar figure standing on the doorstep, eyes widened.
Dane broke the line and grabbed the guy by his arm. Rex was about to run away when my friend held him tightly and dragged him to place his hands over master Enzo's shoulder and rejoined the dragon parade.
"Hahahahaha poor T-Rex!" My friends and I laughed at him some more.

Vin's POV:
I came to get goodnight-fresh air in the garden.
I was watering my plants when a shadow appeared from behind me, giving me a heart attack. I almost fell on the flowerbed. I turned around to look at whoever in the hell dared to creep around in my garden area, late at night!
Psycho cousin!
"I didn't mean to startle you." Carl said, looking amused. Bloody liar!
I stood up and turned to go. I don't want to ruin my good mood by looking at his creepy face.
"Primo fratello!" He called me so I stopped. "I know I'm not your favorite person but..."
"It's good that you know. Now go away." I interrupted him.
"I was not messing with you or…Amy."
I turned around almost at once to look at him. What is he trying to do now?
He walked towards me. Getting closer… and closer. I looked around. Where are the guards!?
"I'm going to say it just one time. So, listen carefully." He whispered in a cold voice giving me shivers. "You have my blessings, crazy brother! Hashtag team Amy!" He smirked at me.
Oh, my gawd!
Psycho Carl finally lost his mind!
