Chapter 1
Break Away
I sat patiently in the waiting room as I waited for news of my brother's condition. Antonio ( also known as Spain) was holding my hand and whispering soothing things into my ear. I have no idea where Lovino went.
Probably figure out what the heck happened tonight.
"Valerie Falcone."
I snap my attention to the doctor who said my name. My knees were weak from anger and nervousness. If I moved, I'm afraid I would collapse right there. I'm glad Antonio is with me.
"What is his condition, doctor?" Antonio asked. He gripped my hands a little bit tighter.
The doctor shook his head and my throat closed up, face grew hot, and tears filled my eyes. No…
"I'm terribly sorry, but the bullet went in to deep. There was nothing I could do for your brother."
"I-I see." I gripped Antonio's hands tighter. "Antonio, I'm tired. Can I go back home?"
"No. Lovino has to come back first and tell us if the coast is clear." Antonio looked dead serious when he looked me in the eye and said, "Val, they will come for you again."
I hate the family business.
The Mafia.
My parents are members and I hate them for the things they've done. They dragged my brother in and as a result he was killed tonight in our home.
If our units Antonio and Lovino weren't there, I would've died also.
When I was little, my dad ordered Hetalia units. He programmed Antonio and Lovino (who is South Italy) to take care of me and my brother. The two units were familia and I loved them so much.
Now, they are all I have left.
I cried into Antonio's shoulder for almost an hour before Lovino came back. Lovino could be fouled mouth and very rude to certain people, but he was nice to me at least.
He hugged me and told me they would get the bastards who killed my brother.
But this cycle would never stop.
The blood.
The Mafia clans.
The fighting.
It'll never stop.
I'm done. Running from the mafia is a stupid attempt, but I'm willing to try. My brother, besides the units, were the only ones there for me. I just need to start new.
Break away from my old life.
*( Morning)*
My units and I were moved to a secure location about a few miles away from where I originally lived. Lovino told me that some mafia clans were duking it out over territory and the enemy clan happened to know where my brother and I lived.
My brother's death was supposed to serve as a warning to my parents and our mafia clan.
All night I've been thinking about where I should go and I got the solution.
America. Land of the free and home of the brave right? All I need to do is get some money, fly over to a state ( I did a little bit of research last night and I have fifty choices of where I want to go!), get an apartment, and hope that the mafia doesn't come to find me.
I walked into the living room of the tiny apartment to see Lovino eating tomatoes. I read his manual a bunch of times and there's no way I can reprogram him to stop eating tomatoes.
"Lovi~ You're going to get fat if you keep eating tomatoes all the time." I said.
"Meh, like I care."
"I want to tell you something…"
…
"Lovino, I'm talking to you!"
"I'm eating. What the hell do you want?"
I braced myself for his reaction. "We are going to America."
"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! WHO IS "WE"?
"You, me, and Antonio. Look, I hate being part of the mafia. I just lost my brother yesterday. It's weird that I'm calm now, but honestly I expected it to happen. So, there's no reason of being here. Especially if I'm a target."
"You're an idiot." Lovino growled. "I'm part of the mafia too. It's not a simple life you can escape. They will get you back, Val." He stepped closer and I was looking up in his light green eyes. These eyes were familiar…they were like home.
I couldn't leave him behind. He was my unit after all.
"Lovi…please come." I put my hands on his arms and stare up at him. Sometimes I forget that he's actually a programmed cyborg, but I don't like thinking of him like that.
He sighs and runs his fingers through his hair. "Let me think about it…"
"Thank you, Lovi! Thanks. I promise. Once we move to America everything will be perfect!"
When I went back to my room, I realized a few things.
One, I have no connections what so ever in America. It will only be Lovino, Antonio, and I.
Two, I would need more money eventually.
Three, I still need to finish school.
Dammit, there are a lot of issues I have to consider. Maybe going to America is a bad idea after all…Wait!
I turned on my computer and put in on the Google search bar, "Roommates in America". I didn't know where in America yet, but I needed to lay out some options for me and my units.
I clicked on the first link and it turned out to be a type of blog website. I made a account and put up my first post.
ROOMATES NEEDED! SPECIFICALLY ONES WITH HETALIA UNITS!
I'm from Italy and some bad things have happened. I need to go to America and I'm taking my units with me. If anyone has a place I can stay, then please let me know! I will get a job, pay rent, and won't be any trouble. I just need to finish high school then I'll be out of your hair!
So, any takers?
After posting the request, I went back into the living room to see Lovino taking a siesta. He was incredibly adorable when he was sleeping. I decided not to bother him and wait for Antonio to get back from the market.
My mind raced with ideas. What would America be like? I've always had this eager desire to go. Maybe I should practice my English a bit more.
I laid next to Lovino on the couch for a long time before I decided to see if I had any takers.
Wow!
Over fifty people replied to my post! Yes, this was turning out better than expected!
Now, I had to choose the best option and then Lovi, Antonio, and I were off to America!

Blueshoe58: Hello there! I live in Sarasota, Florida and I have a beach house. My last roommate moved out because of my Hetalia unit lol xD. There's a high school nearby. I'm currently a freshman in college.
My Hetalia unit is a Little! Ivan Braginski and he loves it at the beach where it's warm. But, he's still moody around the house. So maybe having another unit with him will be helpful.
Just click on my profile and all of my contact info is there.
CHIKACHICA: REPLIED TO: BLUESHOE58- Hello! I'm also in Florida and need a place to stay. My Hetalia unit is coming soon and I seriously need a place to stay! Like no joke. So maybe the three of us can be roommates! Our units will have to get along right?
I smiled. This was turning about better than expected! I would have two roommates and Lovino and Antonio wouldn't be lonely! They would have other units to talk too!
"Valerie?" Antonio stepped inside my room and closed the door. He wasn't smiling. "Lovino tells me you're thinking about moving to America."
"I am going to America." I clarified. I pointed to the screen. "They have Hetalia units so you and Lovino won't get lonely. Also-"
"Lovino and I can't go with you."
"W-Why not?" I asked, the anger rising in my voice. "You're my familia! You have to come with me. Antonio, you've been taking care of me since I was practically a baby!" I cross my arms and glare at him. "My fratello even asked you to look after me."
Antonio closed his eyes for a little bit. He must've been just as upset as I was over my brother's death. Even though they are programmed cyborgs, they had feelings too. Antonio made bonds of friendship with my brother and I. So did Lovino.
When I first read their manual, it said if anyone hurts those closet to them they would get revenge no matter what. Oh…
"You can't go because you're plotting revenge against the ones who killed my brother, aren't you?" I concluded.
"Si."
Tears pricked my eyes. All of the memories I had of my brother, Antonio, and Lovino came rushing back to me. We were so happy. Now I was torn between leaving my old family for a new one. If my brother was here, what would he say?
"I'm so sorry, but I still have to go. I will never live a safe, happy life unless I start somewhere new. Maybe I'll get another unit to keep me company for the time being." I said.
Antonio nodded his head. There was nothing more to say. They would get revenge for my brother and I would be leaving without them. Antonio and Lovino were programmed this way. Lovino would do anything to get revenge and Antonio may or may not stop him. Either way it's to dangerous for me to get stuck in the crossfire.
*( A week later)*
I have everything I need, I visited my brother's grave, and I got things finalized with my new roommates in America. They would be waiting for me at the beach house.
My new home.
Even though I feel guilty, I had to steal some money from my parents to buy a flight ticket. I haven't seen them since my brother's funeral. Antonio and Lovino were hardly ever home. Sometimes they would be gone for two to three days at a time. Even my units would abandon me.
A few days ago I ordered a Arthur Kirkland unit. There was a offer that offered me a second unit for free so I accepted it however the second unit would be a surprise. Flying Mint Bunny Corp. said they'd arrive at my new home in a few days. I was excited, but I felt bad for not taking Lovino and Antonio with me.
My flight was late at night. I left a note in my bedroom and attempted to sneak out. Unfortunately, Lovino was in the living room, waiting for me.
"So, you're really leaving?" He asked. He was smoking a cigar. Lovino had a suit on and a black hat. It scared me to see him look so much like the mafia.
"Yes…Lovi I-"
"Come home when you're ready." Lovino smirked and hugged me. "I'll miss you, idiota."
I would've stayed like that, hugging my unit, but the smoke from the cigar was making me sick. I pulled away, looked at him one more time and grabbed my bags. "I'm so thankful for you and Antonio." I whispered, "Grazie."
I left the apartment and began the walk to the city. There would be a taxi there to take me to the airport. Every time I heard a noise, I jumped and checked over my shoulder. Maybe the other mafia clan knows where I am and will stalk me to America. It's possible and it made me want to run back to my apartment and jump into Lovino's arms so he'd protect me.
He would protect me, but would my other units?
When I got into the city, I hailed a taxi and they took me to the airport. After tipping the cab driver, I got out. Once I walked in there were no regrets, no fears, and no turning back. I've made my decision and will stick with it no matter what.
"Brother, please don't laugh at me if this turns out to be a mistake." I whispered. Of course, there was no response.
Great now I'm talking to my dead brother.
I went through security, showed them my ticket and passport and I finally boarded the plane. I would have to get off in two more cities before I reached Sarasota, Florida.
I hope this is the best decision of my life.
