"People cry, not because they are weak. It's because they've been strong for too long." Johnny Depp
It's been a month since the incident with Anna and the whole town knows. We live in a small town so that means that everyone knows your business.
The minute we walked out of the police station, Enzo was waiting for us. He told us that the whole town was already talking about it. The minute he heard he drove straight to the station the make sure Anna and I were safe.
He has been by my side every waking moment.
He doesn't sleep in my apartment but he waits until I'm asleep to go home and then comes over in the morning before I wake up. I think he is taking protectiveness to a new level.
Cassia has been trying to get Anna to talk again. She hasn't said a word after the interrogation. We are worried for her, she wakes up early in the morning, goes to her classes and comes home to lock herself in her room. She won't look at me in the eyes.
Enzo says that she probably in shock an needs a little more time. He and I have been seating on my couch watching Cold Case and talking about what happened. This is what we have been doing in our free time for the past month.
"I feel so vulnerable, not being able to help her. I'm so glad I reacted quickly, For a second I felt like I was 18 again and in that house." I pause. "I never thought I would go through that panic feeling. Ever again."
Enzo moves me on to his lap and I bury my face in his neck. His hand makes a circular motion on my back. Soothing me.
We stay quiet for a couple of minutes until my phone starts ringing. Enzo grabs it from the small table and answers.
"Hello, this is Mia's phone, I am Enzo. Who is this?" He stay quiet for a second. He then puts the phone on my ear.
"Hello?" I ask.
"Mia? It's Kenan. Dad is in the hospital, he had a heart attack. We need you please come home." The minute Kenan finishes talking he hangs up. I get up from Enzo's embrace and I start hyperventilating.
"Enzo, my dad had a heart attack I need to go home and make sure he is okay." As soon as I say it he is up and walking into my room helping me make my bags.
As I am making my bags Enzo is arranging my flight. When he finishes the phone call he turns to me.
"I have arranged two tickets to Cali for tonight. Ask Cassia if she can go with you, I don't want you going alone." He tells me.
"Okay. Let me call her." I say as I grab my phone and call Cassia.
She picks up the phone on the second ring.
"Cassia. My dad had a heart attack, I need to fly back home tonight. Do you think you could come?" I ask her.
"Mia. I can't, I have my internship, if I go I'll lose it. I really wish to go, but I can't." I hear her say.
I turn to Enzo.
"She can't."
"It's okay, I'll go with you." What? What about Sofia?
"You don't have to do that."
"I'm not letting you go alone." He tells me. "I'll call Sofia's babysitter, I'll ask her to make both our bags." So she will be coming with us. I hear Cassia still talking on the phone.
"Enzo is going with me, don't worry." I say in a low voice.
"Okay. Let me talk to him for a minute." She tells me.
I pass Enzo the phone.
"She wants to talk to you." Enzo grabs the phone from my hands.
"Okay. Okay. Ahum. Okay. I'll make sure. Thanks. Bye." He hangs up.
"What did she tell you?" I ask him.
"She just said to keep you safe."
******************************************
Enzo, Sofia and I are on the cab going towards my old home, my head is leaned on his shoulder.
"Why him? He is the best dad in the world. Why does this happen to good people. All the bad stuff happen to good people." I say in between sobs. Enzo is just holding my hand, letting me get everything off my chest.
The cab stops outside my old home. Enzo pays the fee and we make our way to the door. I turn to look at him.
Here goes nothing.
"I want you to know that when we walk through that door, you will see how I use to be. Please know that you can leave at any moment." I warn Enzo.
He is holding Sofia with one hand and he uses the other to hold my hand. He leans forward to give me a kiss on the forehead.
"Nothing that I see, here in Cali, is going to define the girl that I have met and cared for." He whispers to me.
"Mia? Mia Belmonte?" I stiffen at the sound of that voice. I turn to look at that person.
My eyes are met with pale blue eyes.
Who could it be???
