I wake up to a weight crushing me. Wtf is going on? I open my eyes and see I'm in my new bedroom. All the thoughts of yesterday come flooding back into my mind.

1) Beat up a guy for groping me
2) Arrested
3) Hannah and Adam are "dead"
4) Father and Brothers
5) NY
6) My best friends are moving
7) Dinner
8) Rules and Explanations
9) Almost had a breakdown in my closet
10) Movie with my twin

Shit, Luca is laying on top of me. I turn my head to look at the clock on my nightstand and see it is 5:30 am. Eh, I got about 5 hours of sleep.

really good sleep

girl you haven't slept that well in years

shit your right.

I try to wiggle out of Luca's hold, but he just holds me tighter subconsciously.

BOY GET YOUR GREASY POPCORN HANDS OFF ME, respectfully.

After a few minutes, I finally manage to get out of his hold. I put a pillow in place to mimic myself and he holds onto it. This brings a small smile to my face. I take a picture of him holding the pillow.

because blackmail....duhhhh

Then I find a piece of paper and write him a little note in case he wakes up.

"good morning,
If you woke up and I'm not here, I went to the gym.
- Laura"

I make my way to the closet and slip on some athletic clothes I always carry in my bag. I put on my black leggings, a sports bra, and black long sleeve shirt. I then put my socks and running shoes on.

I go into the bathroom to look in the mirror making sure all my scars and tattoos are covered. I then brush my teeth and put my hair up in a low pony tail.

I grab my phone and airpods, and make my way to the home gym.

Walking into the gym, I take a closer look at everything. There is a full boxing cage, punching bags, weights, various machines, treadmills, even it's own bathroom and water fountain.

I see they have overhead speakers, so instead of using my airpods I connect my phone to them. I start playing my workout playlist which mostly consists of rap, heavy metal, and rock music.

I do some stretching to make sure I don't pull any muscles, and get on a treadmill. I start running my normal pace, which is practically a sprint the entire time. I'm about 4 miles in when I hear the door to the gym open.

Gradually slowing my pace down to a slow walk, I turn to see Alessandro in basketball shorts and a dry-fit t-shirt.

Damn homeboy is built.

"Hey" He says walking over towards me

"Hey" I reply not even out of breath "Sorry, was the music too loud?" I ask
