I find it so weird to think how much my life has changed in the matter of weeks. I always used to say that I wanted to run away and now that it's happened, I'm not sure what to think. I mean I'm so happy to be away from that house, away from Paul but I also miss it. I miss my mother, I miss baby Lukas. I have so many questions about Paul. I know he's suspected of stealing things from Luci but what has he been stealing? Why am I in danger?

I miss what home used to be like. I would wake up every morning and go downstairs to eat breakfast with my family. I have never really liked Paul but he used to be so much nicer. We would laugh and have a good time before my mother dropped my brother and I off at school. We were like the typical happy family, we had our issues but we usually sorted them out. That all changed in less than 12 hours. My brother vanished and Paul and I started to argue more. My mother couldn't cope with loosing him. She was heart broken. We all were but come to think of it, Paul wasn't. He seemed angry more than upset. He would often call people from his office and shout at them. He was so angry all of the time. He used to shout at my mother telling her it was all her fault until she began to cry. He would then take her in his arms and apologise. It was so strange.

I wake up with Luci's arms still firmly wrapped around me. I can hear his steady breath which brings me joy. He's so peaceful right now. I smile as the events of last night flood back to me. I slept with him! I also met my father... He was in such a rush he barely acknowledged me. I didn't think that is how I would meet him. I'm a little upset about it, how he just disregard his daughter but hey I've lived without the sperm donor for long enough.

I move Luci's arm off of me as I really have to pee! I shuffle off of the bed and tip toe to the bathroom. Luci is so peaceful right now I don't want to wake him. He told me he has barely slept in his bed for 4 years so if he's peacefully sleeping now then I will leave him there. I keep wondering what happened 4 years ago but I won't force Luci to tell me as it clearly hurts him to think about. I hope one day he will tell me.

I come back out of the bathroom to see Luci sweating and panting in his sleep. I quickly rush over him to see what's wrong. I must of woke up him with me climbing onto the bed because his body shoots up and he grabs the gun next to his bed. He points it straight at me for a moment before his face softens and he put the gun down.

My heart is racing so much right now.

"I'm so sorry Amore!" He almost cries before grabbing me and pulling me into an embrace.

"It's okay. What h-happened?" I stutter. Of course I stutter! I was fine when Nico pulled a gun on me because I knew he wouldn't shoot me but the look on Luci's face made me think he really was going to shoot me. Fuck! I haven't been that scared in a long time.

"There is a lot about my past you don't know and it makes me very wary of my surroundings. I thought you were someone coming to harm me. I thought you were still next to me, sleeping peacefully. I was trying to protect you." He confesses. I'm glad he was trying to protect me. I guess he was having a nightmare and thats why he was sweating so much.

"I hope one day you will tell me about your past" I whisper, sort of hoping he doesn't hear me.

"One day amore. It's hard to think about" he sighs, letting go of me slightly. "Your father is coming over again today to properly introduce himself" Luci says trying to change the subject.
