"Dominic Romano. I've been expecting you." My voice is cold and dark. I stand in his bedroom. It's pitch black in here. My knife is cold against my hand. The gun strapped to my leg is calling me. I can't. He needs to suffer.
My husband was shot in f...

"Just one more step Ivan." The physical therapist tells me. Her voice is high pitched. She is talking to me like I'm a baby or pet. I take another step with my prosthetic. She claps her hands, "Very good!" I hate this lady. She had good results, so that's why I chose her. I'm thinking of changing to a guy. I've been talking to another guy here.
"Thanks," she helps me into a chair. She takes off the prosthetic. I sit there. I still wish I could be normal again. I don't have a leg. My girlfriend propose last night. We are going to get married in October because she loves the fall. Andy adores her.
Tessa Hendricks. She is 5'9 with light brown hair and beautiful gray eyes. She is the woman I love most in this world. We have been dating for about a year now. We were separated for a month or so because of Tessa's sister. We were both also angry at each other. We fixed everything. Now we are getting married in a year.
My phone rings it's Tessa. "Hey honey," I smile when talking to her.
"Are you ready for me to pick you up? Also do you want a cake? I might have picked up a cake when I was at the store. Oops." She laughs a little.
"Yes and yes. I love you." She says she loves me back and I hang up. I got up to the waiting room and wait on Tessa. She drives up to the door and helps me in the car.
"How did it go?" She kisses me. We drive back home. I moved in with her when I got out of the hospital. We would have moved in together sooner, but I just went back and forth between Andy's and hers.
"Good, but I want to change therapist." I shake my head thinking about the way she had been talking to me.
"Why? I thought Emily was good." She glanced over at me.
"She talks to me like I'm a baby or pet. I'm starting to think she might just pat me on the head the next time I get good results." Tessa laughs at me. Oh she thinks this is funny? "I hope you know you aren't funny."
"I'm hilarious." She grins at me. I put my hand on her thigh and look out the window. "By the way we are having dinner with your sister tonight."
"Did she say why or did she just want to eat together?" I stare at this side of her beautiful face. I can't wait to marry this woman.
"She just wanted dinner. She said Sam and his new boyfriend would be there. I'm excited to meet him." I love the sound of her voice.
"Ok, are we going home first?" She shakes her head. I just realized we had passed the road to our house like an a mile back. "Is she cooking? She is t the best cook. Dante was the one who cooked. She would 'help'." Tessa laughs.
"I think Aleksander is going to be cooking."
We arrive at the house and she helps me out of the car. "Hey guys we are here." Tessa announces as she walks through the door.
"Tess my dear." Andy runs over and hugs her. These two are almost best friends. "You look good." She takes her arm and we walk into the running room. More people are here than I expected. Vera, Aleksander, Lucy, Natalia, Andrew, Sam, Sam's boyfriend, and Dominic.
"Hey guys. Andy can you help me with my chair?" I stand beside Andrew and the seat for Tessa. She comes over and helps me sit down. Plates are out in front of everybody and we dig in. This was probably one of the best dinners I've had in a while.
"Momma, this is amazing. Did you make it?" Sam asks.
"No Alek and Dominic made it." She is eating away. Her plate was small, but at least she was eating. Since being back her eating disorder has gotten bad again. Everyone tells them how amazing it is. We had fun. Everyone ate then we hung out in the living room. Alek was practically all over Andy. He is like that most of the time he is around her.
"So Andy, are you and Alek a couple?" Sam's boyfriend, Daniel, asks.
Andy laugh along with Vera. "No, honey, we are just friends I'm not seeing anyone at the moment. I'm not ready yet." She replied to him. Vera squeezed her hand. She gave her a knowing look.
Dante has been dead for four months now. She still has nightmares about his death, and what she went through when she was kidnapped. She has talked to me some. She didn't want to make Lucy, nat, or drew to be scarred for life. Me, that's already done. We share lots of scary memories with each other. I was old enough to see what our father had been doing to Andy before he died. We confide in the other.
It's getting late. We have been drinking. It's not legal, but Andy lets us have some if we are safe with it. "Andy we are going to stay the night." She says ok. Tessa and I go up to my room. We get ready for bed and are fast asleep.

Mom wanted to hide that she was in pain. I saw her this morning holding onto Alek for dear life because she was in unbearable pain. She doesn't want to take pain meds because they make her sick. I saw her face last night when she talked about not being ready to date. She was sad. Really sad.
Alek, Vera, Dominic, and mom all got really drunk last night. I had to bring mom and Alek back to her room. Dominic slept on the couch. Aunt Vera slept in Nat's room. I want to know what mom is feeling. I'm scared she is going to spiral downward until she is so depressed she might kill herself. That what my birth mother died of. She hung herself. My birth father died in a car crash.
"Mom, can I come in?" I heard muffled sniffles behind her door.
"Yes baby you can come in." Her voice is shaky. I open the door, and she has been crying. Her eyes are puffy and red. "Alek is in the shows right now." She waves me over to the bed.
"Mom, why are you crying? Please be honest with me." I felt tears in my eyes. I hated seeing her in pain.
"I'm having nightmares about when I was tortured while being kidnapped. I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want to scare you. I have the image of Dante dying over and over in my head." She holds my hand tracing the lines. She does this sometimes when she was anxious.
"I'm sorry mom. We tried to find you. I don't want you to worry about scarring me. I want to help you feel better." She kisses my forehead. Alek walks out with a towel around his waist.
"Oh, I didn't know you were in her. Let me grab my clothes, and I will get dressed in the bathroom." Alek grabs his clothes and goes back into the bathroom.
"Mom I'm surprised that more people don't think you guys are seeing each other. I mean he is literally all over you all of the time. He is naked in your bathroom. Like mom it's ok if you guys are sleeping together." She laughs. I love seeing her happy
"I guess you are right. I want to let you know that Dominic and I have sex together every now and then." That's insane. I never thought that they would be together.
"I think you should sleep with Alek instead. I like him more." She shakes her head.
"Ok fine I will. Now get out so I can have sex." I scrunch my nose. TMI. Mom. TMI.
