*Mature Chapter*

My head hurts. So much has happened in the last few weeks that I cannot cope. I really hope that Paul didn't hear the fight earlier because that would lead to a lot of questions that I can't be bothered to answer. He clearly saw the fight though otherwise I wouldn't have been told to stay in my room for the rest of the evening. It's been about an hour since I was told to stay in my room and Nico still hasn't returned. He better hurry up before I fall asleep. It's barely even 10pm and I'm exhausted. I also can't get Luci out of my head. He looked so handsome in his suit tonight but let's get real, he always looks handsome. Okay Emma stop.

Get him out of your head. Now!

I'm halfway through watching '22 jump street', one of my favourite films because I love Channing Tatum, when I hear two people talking outside my room. I cannot hear what they're saying but they are arguing about something. It doesn't sound like a heated argument but it doesn't sound like a friendly conversation. "Seriously dude, I don't think she wants to talk, we can do all of this tomorrow" I hear Nico warn someone as my door is opened. I can see Nico mouth 'sorry' as Luci enters my room, slamming the door closed behind him.  He seriously knows how to make an entrance. So dramatic.

"Luci, please, fuck off" I say as politely as possible. I do not want to talk to him right now. Well, maybe I do but I'm mad at him. He doesn't say anything more as he walks over and sits on the edge of my bed. I don't move or say anything. For once, I actually don't know what to say. I watch as Luci stares at me for a little longer before he begins to talk.

"I am so sorry for talking to you like that the other day. I had no other choi-" I cut him off, not wanting to hear his pathetic excuses.

"I don't want to listen to your bullshit. Get out!" I instruct, getting off of my bed and walking towards the door. I can feel his eyes follow my every move but he doesn't make any attempt to get out of my room. I begin to open the door but it is forcefully slammed shut by Luci. His hands are now caging me in but my back is still to him.

"Please turn around" He sounds desperate. I give in and swivel my body round to face him. How does one person I barely know make me feel this weak? He is so close to me and I like it yet I hate it at the same time. His emerald green eyes are staring deeply at me. "I needed you to hate me for this party. I needed you to hate every single thing about me. I thought it would make it easier to fool Paul. I was so wrong. That stupid ass that I punched was working for Paul. He now knows you know me. Things are spiralling out of control to quickly" He takes a long desperate look at me. "Fuck. I don't know why I ever let you come back here" He whispers to himself.

I'm not going to lie, I'm a little confused. So Luci needed me to hate him so Paul wouldn't find out I knew Luci. To be honest I kind of overreacted when he called the other day I mean he was probably busy.

Then that weird blonde man was flirting with me to anger Luci. Why is everything in the Mafia so confusing. UGH.

"Okay, I'm slightly confused right now but what do we do now?"

"The first thing you need to do is pack a bag. Your coming to live with me" I mean sure, I knew I was going to be moving out. I just didn't know it would be so soon. I haven't even said my goodbyes.

"I thought I still had a few weeks before moving into the compound" I mutter. I don't actually want to leave yet which is a weird thing for me to say. I'm not even sure why I'm leaving. It's not like I'm in danger.
