Things were getting better. I had finally calmed Santo down and made him a cup of hot chocolate. He looked really torn between emotions and his smile that once graced his face wasn't there anymore. He was extremely quiet and I really didn't  like it.

"Santo? Please look at me" He had been staring at the ground the whole time, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Rosie, I can't do this. I really can't. She left when I needed her the most. I was on my knees begging her to stay but she just looked at me with disgust. Her own son. I vowed that i would never trust her or let her in my lifee ever again." He said anger shining in his eyes but his voice cracking. I wrapped my arms around him as his shook with sobs. 

I got up after awhile and went to the piano. I began to play one of my favorite songs by Alicia Keys. He looked at me surprised at my piano playing. I began to sing the lyrics softly. 

Some people live for the fortune

Some people live just for the fame

Some people live for the power, yeah

Some people live just to play the game

Some people think that the physical things

Define what's within

And I've been there before

But that life's a bore

So full of the superficial

Some people want it all

But I don't want nothing at all

If it ain't you baby

If I ain't got you baby

Some people want diamond rings

Some just want everything

But everything means nothing

If I ain't got you, Yeah

Halfways through theh song Santo came and played the piano with me. I looked at him, smiling, and leaned my head on his shoulder as I  continued to sing

Some people search for a fountain

That promises forever young

Some people need three dozen roses

And that's the only way to prove you love them

Hand me the world on a silver platter

And what good would it be

With no one to share 

With no one who truly cares for me 

Some people want it all

But I don't want nothing at all

If it ain't you baby

If I ain't got you baby

Some people want diamond rings

Some just want everything

But everything means nothing

If I ain't got you, you, you

Some people want it all

But I don't want nothing at all

If it ain't you baby

If I ain't got you baby

Some people want diamond rings

Some just want everything

But everything means nothing

If I ain't got you, yeah

If I ain't got you with me baby

So nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing

If I ain't got you with me baby  

 As the song came to a close I hugged Santo close to me. I lifted his face so he could look me in the eyes.   "I promise that nothing will hurt you as long as I am there to protect you. No one wil touch you. No one will make tears of sadness fall down your cheek ever again. I promise this to you" I said as I kissed the tears sliding down his cheeks.  I hugged him close as his strong arms wrapped around my waist. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I know It's been an extremely long wait but I hoped you like the chapter. The songs I was listening to inspired the actions in the story. Alicia Keys - If I aint got you and No One by Alicia Keys. SOmething I learned is that there characters have a mind of their own. It sound crazy but it's true. hoped you liked it. ~stay MINDLESS and ICONIC~
