I felt something rather someone around me , I opened my eyes and looked around . I wanted to speak but i couldn't because I had a oxygen mask on my face. Lily had all her arms around me giving me a hug but she was asleep so I slowly removed them. The last thing I remember is that I was falling from a building with a bullet in my chest . I patted lily's forehead and the door opened, it was mr and mrs sky with the doctor. I could see the worry and stress on their faces so I just smiled in return. The doctor examined me and left,"tell me everything." I said with a breaking voice . Mr sky got seated on the couch and mrs sky took lily out so we had our privacy .

"The lion will come back for revenge, before we could realize anything the building premises turned into a war zone . We were busy killing the other men and he escaped, all the men we got don't know anything about him. You were in coma for 3 months doctor said if you end up being hurt again , nobody can save you. " my sky said.  "Say something good." I said with a half smile . "Before climbing the wall you called the police and media they got everything recorded in their cameras, now mafia king is the criminal and you my dear are the victim. " mr sky said smirking. I let out a small chuckle but ended wincing in pain. "Are you okay?" Mr sky said rubbing my back . "Can I go home ?" I said with a rarely audible voice. "You will get a discharge tomorrow. " he said and embraced me into a hug.

The rest of the day I heard a big lecture not to leave the house without a permission. Even lily was upset with me but when I promised her to take her out for ice cream she cheered happily .
I came back home the following day and by home I mean mr sky's house. The government has decided that untill the mafia king is roaming free out there , my safety is there responsibility. To be honest I appreciate it but I know that the decision was taken due to media pressure. Due to so many accidents my body has lost its strength the doctor suggested me for a 3 months bed rest and the time flowed easily maybe because I had a bit of everything, or maybe a family. 

All these years I lived alone and had my walls built so high that nobody could become my friend but today in those 3 months I understood that I needed a family to recover and not medicines. Today my rest gets over and I could live my life again or maybe even better life , I grabbed lily's hand and we walked downstairs to mr and mrs sky. "We want to adopt you as our foster child !" Both of them said with confidence . That statement came out of blue so I just got freezed for a moment, lily chirped around me like a birdie. I don't know what was going in my head but I just nodded . All three of them engulfed me Into a big hug .

We ate pasta and danced like typical Italian people do , it was good or maybe better than anything. I was happy because I knew I was changing the tables had turned now. I was no more a lonely nerdy high school girl . They said they had plans for me but I was ready to do anything to stay with them.

Okay I regret saying what I said last night , right now I am standing in the dressing room changing my 16th outfit and it's just 9 in the morning , I got out of the dressing room with a I WANNA GO HOME face . "No!" Lauren said with a puppy dog face I rolled my eyes at her and we got at the cash counter and paid the bill. We were walking to the food court to get some ice cream for lily, " I don't like the clothes " I said giving them a look . "But you look pretty in them ." Lauren said . I rolled my eyes and got to the ice cream counter. I got a chocolate one for me a strawberry for lily and a blueberry for Lauren. We paid for the ice cream and sat on the benches in the food court licking the goodness of heaven .

"Are you planning to join college?" Lauren said wiping ice cream off from lily's nose . I let out a chuckle and said " I want to become a writer ". "That's pretty interesting." Lily said taking the last bite of her cone. We all laughed and while coming home we visited the best college in the town and I applied for admission they said they will inform soon.  We got home, lily slept on the couch as she was too tired . Lauren went in the kitchen to make the lunch and I cleaned the living room but suddenly I heard a loud bang which made lily wake up from her fairy tale dreams we both went running to the kitchen and the nachos were black and the salsa was on the floor . "How about a pizza ? " I said looking at Lauren which now was picking up the salsa . " I want one with extra cheese !" Lily said and did her happy dance .

We ordered the pizza and watched a barbie movie in the afternoon, I opened my eyes and we were still on the couch . Lauren and lily were sleeping soundly. I tip toed to the kitchen and cleaned all the mess and boiled some spaghetti and prepared red sauce. The bell ranged and I went to open the door , " I can smell red sauce!" Sky said giving me a hug . He got in and changed till then I waked up lily and Lauren . At first they didn't believed that I made it but at the end they were licking the plates off. " also Prepare meat balls next time " sky said smirking.  I clenched my teeth at him .

"Honey go and wear the clothes we brought for you in the morning. " Lauren said with a wicked smile . My looks shooted daggers at her . Lily pushed me till the room and I ramped walk in all the 16 outfits , they were good but not really my style . Some of it was knee length one pieces some were crop tops with skinny Jean's she even bought me a pair of denim shorts with skirts.  I walked out in the last dress letting out a breath . Sky walked towards me and showed me a small mirror. A smile creeped to my face, I won't deny that I m looking good.

I played with lily till midnight and we slept dreaming about our own imaginary fascinating fairytales.
