I enter my Dad's office quietly trying not to attract attention because if they looked at me right now they'd know I wasn't okay.
To say I'm shaken up would be an understatement, I can't even the describe the amount of fear I felt when I noticed someone had gotten into my bedroom.
My safe space.
And now Gio is up there dealing with whoever that was or they've disappeared into thin air and are still out there.
That thought makes my anxiety sky rocket and I start shaking again.
"Ems, are you okay" My Dads asks me and I give him a slight nod.
"Yeah I'm fine, just ran into Gio and I'm hiding from him" I try laugh it off, I mean he might believe me since he knows I'm not fond of him.
"You look awful scared there sweetie" he looks slightly concerned and I frown.
"No it's just I'm very tired after darting in here, sorry if I interrupted something by the way" I try and change the subject.
"No worries we were just finishing in here" he gives a hopeful smile.
Gio's dad gets up to leave so I take the opportunity to leave with him because I don't want my dad to be suspicious.
Once we're both out of the room Giovanni is emerging from the staircase with a worried look.
"What is it" I say too fast.
"I don't know they're gone and left no trace of anything behind" he says sternly but I can feel the anger radiating off of his body.
"Right I would like to know what is going on and why Emma is so shaken up because I'm not buying that bull shit story you told in there" Elijah says from beside me.
I look to Giovanni and he gives me a nod so I start to explain what happened and Elijah's face hardens.
What is it with these men and there looks.
"We'll, you certainly won't have to worry about anything else happening we will sort this out for you Emma" Elijah says in a cold tone.
Sort this out? How? We don't even know who did it or anything about them.
But I just nod my head anyway hoping whatever this is goes away. Gio will make it go away that's one thing he always knew how to do get rid of was my fears.

It's been a couple hours since the break in and I'm still on edge and wary of everyone I walk past on the street knowing anyone could be that person.
But unfortunately my schedule is always full and I always have to be out doing stuff thanks to being publicly known.
So as much as I would like to cower in fear and huddle up in a room with my best friend it just can't happen.
I've already embarrassed myself once for jumping out of my shoes when a stranger smiled at me and I'm sure I scared that poor boy off.
But you can never be too careful.
I'm now attending a brunch that was organised by several models and influencers around the Area and my best friend was meant to be here but her morning sickness has been terrible.
So now I'm alone here around a bunch of snobs because hardly anyone you meet in this industry is actually genuine.
I sit at the far end of the table and keep to myself most of brunch just eating my food and occasionally glancing at my phone hoping an emergency can get me out of here.
"Hey!" Someone shouts at me from across the table . She seems to be in conversation with a few other girls.
I look up at her and she has a fowl look on her face it's kinda scary.
"You've literally not spoken a word since being here and quite frankly that's really rude" i gasp and take in a bit to much air.
Im taken by surprise and don't know how to respond to that "you don't even have anything to say wow" she scowls at me and the girls around her laugh.
Normally I'm pretty confident and I can definitely hold my own but again that really depends on the situation and my environment and if I'm confident with the people.
Which right now I'm alone, vulnerable and just not emotionally ready to handle this.
"I-" I can't find my words.
"Maybe she doesn't want to speak to you cause of how stuck up your own ass you are, ever thought of that Penelope" this girl rages from a couple seats away from me.
I smile and start feeling better that someone else spoke up.
"We'll now that I think about it thats definitely the reason, your not worthy of my words they deserve to be spoken to someone who respects people" I say directly to the woman who I now know as Penelope.
"Emma Carlson is it? Associated with that bitch Rosalie Carmichael which thank god she's not here I couldn't handle her and her sensitive pregnant ass" she speaks with a smirk.
I just about lost it the second she spoke Roses name and said such spiteful words.
"Wow that was the wrong thing to say babe" the other girl speaks up.
Everyone knows how close me and Rose are and I can tell the people at this table are aware of the mistake she just made and by the look on her face she is aswell.
"I feel sorry for you" I get up from my seat and through her hard eyes I can tell she's scared.
I walk straight to to her and slap her hard right across the face. So hard that when I take my hand away her face is beet red.
"Trust me I would do a lot more but I care about my reputation and how people look at me" i scowl and walk away.
I can hear her crying to her little bitch friends as I'm leaving and I'm drained as if I haven't suffered enough today.
What am I meant to tell Rose? Her sweet mind wouldn't be able to handle that and Ethan oh my gosh I feel bad for Penelope when he finds out.
I hear foot steps behind me and that girl who spoke up for me earlier is running after me.
She has a small smile and is breathing very heavily from how much she just ran.
"Hey, I'm Alara" she says out of breath holding out her hand.
"Emma" I smile and shake her hand.
"Don't take anything they said to heart your so beautiful girl" she says with the sweetest smile, I already love this girl.
"Don't worry, it doesn't mean anything to me it's just when they talk about Rose like that it hurts me" I say giving a sad smile.
"Wow you seem like an amazing friend to have, Rose must be lucky" I mean I try my best.
"We'll thank you for speaking up, I get nervous when I'm intimidated" she shakes her head.
"Oh it was nothing I hate when people talk shit, I used to get bullied and then I finally had enough I started fighting back because I know I'm better than them" wow what a queen.
"We'll you wanna grab some actual lunch since we didn't get to eat much" I laugh and she smiles.
"Yeah I'd love that a lot, I don't really have any friends" I frown.
Who wouldn't want to be this girls friend she's amazing.
"We'll you have one now okay" I say seriously and make sure she knows.
She nods with a grateful look in her eyes.
This was just the type of thing I needed today after everything that happened.
