Lissy Romano

I was sitting next to the pool. I sunbathed. I was writing my thoughts into my notebook and I enjoyed that feeling.

I don't have to be scared...I don't have to be worried about Miguel or anyone else. My brothers...they love me. That was everything I asked for. Someone who would love me unconditionally.

"Lissy." a deep voice sent shivers through my spine

I turned around...it was just Matteo.

"Matteo, what are you doing here?" I asked as I didn't feel comfortable sitting just in my swimsuit next to him

I know he wouldn't hurt me, but I still felt embarrassed about my bruises.

"I wanted to talk with you." Matteo said as he sat next to me

"About what?" I asked

"Giovanni said that we need to give you this pill, for your heart. You should take it." Matteo said

I took the pill, I grabbed water bottle which was next to me and I swallowed the pill. I looked back at Matteo and nodded my head as saying 'thanks'.

"About school tomorrow. Enzo and I will be there. Giovanni said that I need to give you this phone, it's yours now." Matteo said as he handed me a phone

"Thanks." I said in excitement

"He said that I need to remind you that can't contact with Jose. Whatever that fucker is..." Matteo said...well real Matteo is back

"I won't. I wouldn't have considered him my friend if I would known that he is in Mexico's drug cartel." I said as I placed the phone next to me

"Well. You know that we all make mistakes, right?" Matteo asked

"Yes. I know." I said as I looked at him

"Lissy, I didn't want to scare you. I would never hurt you. Drunk or sober...I care about you." Matteo said

I care about you=I love you

I didn't understand...If this boy next to me is really Matteo or maybe this is just a dream...I will wake up and he will pour cold water on me...that would be more like Matteo.

"You know...I care about you too." I said as I looked at the pool, the water so light and clear

"Thank you." Matteo said as he placed his hand on my shoulder gently, as if I would break if he didn't do it that gente

Thank you? He is just like Dante...antisocial...but I will help him with socializing. That's what little sisters are for.

"I wanted to ask..." I started and his eyes snapped at me

"What is it?" he asked, afraid of my question

"What happened to your face?" I asked quietly

"Oh...Lissy...It was just a fight." Matteo said as he petted my head in relief

"Did you won?" I asked as I blinked
