"How are you today?" My therapist asked me

"How are you today?" My therapist asked me.

"Good. Yesterday I slept alone in my room but I had a slight nightmare."

"That's great!" Me having a nightmare is great...? "I mean there's progress and that's good." I nodded. "How is your relationship with Aaron going?"

We started officially dating in my 17th birthday. It's been 6 months and- "Everything is going great."

"That's good. Why do you look concerned?"

"Because everything is going too great. My relationship, my friends, my cousins, my brothers— Everything! And I am not used to that so I feel like something is coming and is gonna ruin everything." And usually I am right. "Considering Henry and Liam are still out there! I am still not safe also I am 17 which makes me more of a target. It's just— stressing me out!"

"I understand. Totally. I am gonna tell you two words, two important words; just live." She said. "Which means just go with the flow... enjoy it while it lasts. Don't overthink it."

"I can't not overthink it."

"But you can. You control your body, your thoughts and even the voices. You're in control."

REUNITED FOR HER

"Hello? Anyone home?" I asked after closing the door behind me.

"Yeah, I am in the living room bambina."Marcello responded.

I go into the living room to find him on the couch. I sit next to him but he grabs me from under my armpits and puts me on his lap. "I am not 4 nor 15 anymore." I chuckled.

"Can you stop growing up?" He asked me acting angry.

"Seriously just stop growing and getting taller." Matteo said joining us in the room.

"Nah she's still short." Marcello said.

"I am 5'8! How am I short?" I questioned confused.

"That is short." Matteo said. No it's not though. "Where were you?" He asked me.

"Making sure I didn't go insane yet. Therapy." I responded and he nodded.

"Our cousins are coming over for dinner tonight along with Tony's girlfriend." Matteo informed. "So be home before then. I don't like the new freedom Lorenzo is giving you."

I, now, can leave without my brothers permission but my curfew is at 10 which is not bad. He still sends a guard after me and I did find out about him so I have now to give him money to shut his mouth when I go see my boyfriend.

"I am going out with Mia, Stranger, Ryle, Sandro and Grey—" and Aaron but I am not gonna say that. "—for lunch today. So don't wait for me."

"I really don't like your new freedom." Marcello said hugging me.
