"Are you done? This isn't for a closet those clothes are for a full army"

I said in frustration as Aphrodite grabbed a dress I hadn't worn since I was 17.

Today I was to finally move to Alessandro's estate, not that I was happy about it but at least from what I knew Alessandro was almost never in his house which was beneficial for me because that I didn't have to see his annoying face.

And anyway I could have my peace.

I loved staying at my current house with my parents and Aphrodite but the thing was that all my friends had moved out of their childhood homes and I was an adult and still living with my parents.

Of course that didn't mean Aphrodite who stayed was a failure.

And is failure really something to be ashamed of?

People always fail, whether it is in degrees or in grades or even in a job interview. But that doesn't mean we have to be ashamed to walk out of our house just because other people want to bring us down.

Because in truth, the person who should be ashamed is that who laughs.

And we can bring this person down when we show them that we can stand up. When we fall down but despite being hurt and sad with ourselves we stand our ground and we manage to stand to our feet.

Aphrodite was a very successful person and incredibly smart at her job.

Aphrodite rolled her eyes in annoyance

"Look, since I don't give a damn about what Alessandro likes and dislikes and because I can't visit daily because it's a little far I have to make sure you are comfy"

She grabbed the stuffed pink dragon and put it on the third suitcase she had made for me.

"See? Princess will be there with you too."
She teased.

The stuffed animal was the only thing that I had when I came here from.. whenever I was before my father found me.

For an unknown reason it was comforting to have something from my past because that motivated me to search for it.

I felt my cheeks heat

"Hey! You act like I am a kid going to a trip..I am an adult you know"

"Jeez, relax"

After another thirty minutes she finally finished and we were on our way to the car.

Thank GOD my father had a good spatial perspective and managed to fit everything in the car otherwise Aphrodite was legit going to pass out.

I had one last thing to do before I left.

While everyone was outside, putting things in the car and getting ready for the ride, I walked to the kitchen where Mr Paw was laying on the sofa
