As I'm walking though the bar, someone grabs me by the arm and pulls me towards him. It was Daniels brother Patrick, and his best man.

He smelt of beer and I could tell he was drunk. "Hey beautiful lady" he said with the smell of beer in his breath.

"Patrick it's me your cousin, let go of me!"

"Relax someone just wants to talk to you" he points at the man that looks like he should be in the new Godfather movie. Yeah that's my dad. Oh did I forget to say I'm Italian, and if anybody knows anything Italians, it's they normally mean trouble. I feel sorry for Daniel's wife marring into this mess of a family. 

"Ah bella, what are you doing out here?"

"Just getting some air Papa" I shake off Patrick's hand and turn to get away but I can't. Oh, by the way bella means beautiful in Italian.

 "Ah stay I have someone here that wants to met you".

 "Papa I'm not interested please let me go.."

"His name is Antonio, you like?" Again I hate it when he does this. My dad always does this 'trying-to-marry-me-off-to-the-next-guy-he-sees'. This guy was covered with tattoos and had a scar over his mouth. 

"No Papa! I don't like, now may I go please!" I turn and walk outside. Luckily this place had a balcony looking out onto the stars. I love the stars they're so beautiful just looking at them makes me feel so calm. Daniel was the only one who understood the way I feel about the stars. Just as I'm looking out someone stands next to me looking out to the stars as well.

"The stars are beautiful tonight" he said. 

"Yes, they really are" I say as I turn and see the man next to me and I'm left speechless.
