Alessandra's POV

So much hatred in this curropted world. It's terrifying how one could be sane and happy; to insane and depressed in a couple of minutes.  Remembering the gruesome tragedy that i did that day. The way those black coal eyes pierced through my heart. The pale skin of the corpses  with scarlet liquid like a blanket on them. Why them? Why me? I hate this. You told me to be strong. But....i....i can't. How does this happiness work? How do you get by when the very thing that can keep you together is actually tearing you apart. The scars only bring back the cruel truth from the fantasy i wanted to be in. A fantasy with love and warmth. No secrets. No war. But I'm stuck in between the fantasy and falling straight on my face with the cold reality.

I got out of bed. Something felt wrong yesterday. I could feel eyes burning holes through me. I could feel my every move being watched. I think I'm going to have to call them. I can't do this alone. And i definitely won't let Jack get involved.

*****************

I skipped school and left a letter on sticky paper on the door for anyone who comes looking for me.

  Letter

I'm sorry for leaving right now. I have some things to take care of. Please don't worry about me. I will be ok. I have some unfinished business and i dont want my friends and family to get involved. I know we only got a short time together but remember the good times we had. Not the bad. Don't come looking for me. I don't want you to see the monster side of me. I'm sorry i left Jack. I have to. To keep you safe. I love you. That is why your principessa must go. Mi dispiace. Il mi amore. Dispiace. Ti amo. Arrivederci.

I left the envelope with the note inside on the kitchen table. I allready booked a ticket to Italy. I have to leave before school is over. Emiliano is coming with me saying that he has to protect me no matter what. I just let him come knowing that he will follow any way. But its nice to have him by my side. As we went to the airport i couldnt stop thinking of Jack and Sarah.  I love them so much. Emiliano allready informed the school about my abscence. That we will be leaving for a while. Maybe a year because of some trouble and death in family. Something like that to sound convincing.

Our flight was called but before i could take another step i felt arms hold me tight from behind. I froze knowing exactly who it was. "PERCHÉ DIAVOLO LASCIANDOVI! TI HO DELTO CHE ERI IL MIO! TI HO DETTO CHE NON INTENZIONE DI LASCIARE CHE SI LASCIA!" (Why the hell are you leaving! I told you you were mine! I told you i wasn't going to let you leave!)

I felt a pain in my chest. Why couldn't he let me leave! Why did he have to come all the way here! Why did he have to say he loves me! I turned around, "DEVO ANDARE! NON È SICURO! VOI DI ESSERE INTORNO A ME! PERSONE STANNO VENENDO DOPO DI ME E NON LASCERÒ NULLA ACCADA A TE! TI PROTEGGERÒ E SE QUESTO È L'UNICO MODO ALLORA COSI SIA! MI PERMETTA DI LASCIARE! MI PERMETTA DI TENERE AL SICURO!" (I have to leave! It's not safe! You being around me! People are coming after me and i will not let anything happen to you! I will protect you and if this is the only way then so be it! Let me leave! Let me keep you safe!)

He growled and crushed his lips to mine. For the first time. Tears poured out of my eyes. It hurt. It hurt so much to leave him. It hurts. I don't want to be away from him. I love him too much. Being away from him gives me the worst feeling in my chest. I love him.

We pulled apart breathing hard. He put his hand on my cheeks, "I'm coming with you. No matter what you say. I'm coming and i will be the one protecting you."

I touched his face and stared. I guess we stood there for a while because Emiliano coughed, making us tear our gaze to look at him. His voice sounded amused and at the same time pissed. "You know this is my niece and i don't care about your words. I care about your actions. If you want to be with her then prove it. Prove that you can keep her safe becuase words are meaningless when you can't prove them right. I won't agree to this love until you prove to me that you are right for my little princess."

I felt Jack nod. I quickly gasped, "How are you going to come?! What about your family?! Do you even have a ticket?! Your family-" Jack crushed his lips to mine, "Shut up. I have everything covered. I told my mother and she helped me get the ticket. It scares me to leave them but she promised me that they'll be fine." I heard him smirk, "She actually said Go get her back!" I laughed along with him.

Emiliano coughed, "Allright we need to leave now." Jack held my hand and guided me to the plane. We gave our tickets and went to our seats. Jack was next to the window, i was in the middle and Emiliano was next to the hallway. I put my head on Jack. He kisses my forehead, "Sleep principessa. Its going to be a long flight." I nodded and yawned. I held Emiliano's hand as well and he squeezed it in return. I closed my eyes and let sleep take me.

I can't wait to see the rest of my family. I miss them so much.
