No one told me being shot was fucking painful, the guys always make it look painless. Fuck, every small move I make sends a sharp pain to my side. Vanessa better count her days because I'm so burning that bitch to the ground.

Aleksandr practically moved into my house. He's been sleeping in my room and he's there for me whenever I need him. He's currently out buying me food. I feel bad for traumatizing him. Everyone told me they never seen him cry like that, and my heart broke.

Dad comes in and comes to my side, he bends down and and holds my hand. "Cara, you feeling alright?" I nod "it hurts like a bitch. But I'm better I swear." He narrows his eyes at me. "Don't lie to me Tesoro." I sigh and tell him to bring me medicine.

Only I get shot weeks before graduation, I swear if I can't walk the fucking stage I'm burning the whole school down.

Dad sits down next to me and braids my hair. "Now for the love of god send that boyfriend of yours home, he's eating up all our food." I laugh and then wince at the pain.

Aleksandr enters me room with a smile "I will not leave and besides I already stocked up the pantry. You should try some of the snacks." Dad groans and Aleksandr sets the food on my bed.

"I got you something as well Mr. Romani." Dad smiles gets his food and walks out the room.

Aleksandr Nikolai and Dimitri are leaving us in two weeks. Delilah moved into the ivanov house per Ronans request, more like order. He said he would sleep better knowing everyone was safe under his roof. Everyone agreed as they didn't feel safe in that house anymore.

Aleksandr was so excited, he helped move everything into Delilah's new room and helped her decorate it, he gave her a house tour and her brothers have their own rooms as well even though they have their own houses.

"Dimitri is happy he can finally have nova without sneaking her out of Delilah's house." I laugh and then smack his arm when a surge of pain hit me.

"Stop making me laugh." He utters a sorry and then opens up my food, I reach for the spoon but he doesn't let me.

"My hands work." I say and he looks at me seriously, "let me take care of you Cynthia." Yes sir. He continues to feed me looking satisfied with each bite I take.

"Where did you buy this it's so good." He smiles "I made Dimitri help me cook. He sends his love and says to get better."

He cooked for me, my heart. Now all I want to do is sit down and watch Aleksandr cook for me. There's something about men that know how to cook that just does it for me. "Good?" I hum and take another bite. "Yes thank you baby." He gives me a small smile and after he made sure I ate all my food and took the right medication he finally lays down next to me.

"Movie night?" I nod and try to get as comfortable as I can in my condition. "Doesn't the sick and injured get to have the choice." He grunts as he plays a comedy movie.

"No since I'm still upset with you." I roll my eyes and sigh as he makes sure my blanket is nicely wrapped around me. "You feeling okay?" There's actual concern in his voice and I feel bad for putting him through this. "I'm okay baby." He nods and runs his fingers through my hair his nails lightly scratching my scalp in soothing motions.

If he keeps this up I'm going to fall asleep. Aleksandr watches my tv laughing here and then when a funny scene comes on and I can't help but fall asleep.

By the time I wake up I find myself in my empty room and I miss my boyfriend. I slowly get up and take one painful slow step at a time in search of anyone. I'm out of my room when I hear my dad and  Aleksandr, in the movie room.

I feel like it took me five hours to get to my destination but I made it. I smile at the conversation they're having.

"Absolutely not my father will for sure spoil our kids more." My dad scoffs and shakes his head.

"Well I guess we'll just have to see." They shake hands and I clear my throat in order to gain their attention. Aleksandr walks over to me and huffs. "You're supposed to be on bed rest why are you up?" He gently picks me up and puts me on a seat.

"I woke up and you weren't there. What were you two even talking about. I'm on my dads side." My father smirks and fist bumps me.

"See even my own daughter agrees I'll spoil my grandkids way more." Aleksandr huffs and shakes his head giving me a disapproving look to which I just shrug my shoulders.

The remainder of the day we spent playing board games and just chatting about life. Then Aleksandr carried me to my room.

"Want me to paint your nails sweetheart?" I look at my nails and agree I need a new color. "Yes please." Aleksandr goes through my extensive nail polishes and then picks a color. I watch as he paints and blow on my nails, he's so fucking adorable when he looks so concentrated. He then goes on to paint my toes.

"All done baby!" He smiles at his proud work and I can't help but laugh. "They're perfect my love." I motion for him to come over to my side so I can give him a proper reward for his hard work.

I kiss him softly and he sighs into me. "Words can't describe how much I love you Cynthia." I smile and give him another kiss.

"I love you more."
