~You won't be scared and lonely~

Three Days Grace

We were in the car, heading to God knows where. Enzo had a huge black SUV, just like my brothers do. They are so rich, I really cannot understand how they are earning so much money. Soft music could be heard in the background like Another Day in Paradise by Phil Collins or Circles by Post Malone. The weather was not too shiny but I just loved it. I LOVE rainy and cloudy days, they're sooo cozy.

"So where are we going?" I asked Enzo with a raised eyebrow. He had told me nothing about our destination yet.

He shot me a quick smirk "Ah, you will see, you will see" and looked back on road. 'Why does this lil convo reminds me of a classic convo in Wattpad books?' I wondered. It was true tho.

I was feeling guilty deep down inside. All that immature behavior towards him, all those bitter words were ringing in my head. I was so mean to him and he had done nothing to me. Instead, he was so sweet towards me, and even with all those things I have done and said, he was still smiling and trying to come closer to me. I know he wanted to do his job as a psychiatrist and all, but he also wanted to get to know me. His best friend reunited with his little sister, me. It was something really important for all of us.

So I thought now it was a good opportunity.

"Um, Enzo?"

"Hm, yes?"

I gulped. 'Do it, just do it!' I kept encouraging myself.

"I um... I am sorry for um... y'know, everything I did and said. You were only trying to help me, and after all my brother took the decision, not you. It was a huge mistake to do whatever I did. I am sorry if I hurt you or insulted you" the words were slipping out of my mouth like a river. I felt like I had to do it. I felt like I owed him an apology. And to be honest, I certainly did. So that's what I did.

Enzo glanced at me with the corner of his eye and chuckled softly. However, I did not understand why. 'Did I do something wrong?' I asked myself. I felt that way and I apologized.

"There is nothing you should apologize about Nefeli, really. I understand. After all, that's my job" he winked at me, a small smile making its appearance on my face. "In fact, I would react the same if I were you. Some people cannot understand what someone else really needs"

"Yeah, I know" I mumbled under my breath, looking at my black and white shoes.

"That does not mean that Noah does not care about you" he placed his right hand on my knee, giving it a little squeeze, making me giggle from the ticklish sensation. "Actually he cares for you more than he had cared for anyone all those years. And I can reassure you about it. They all love you so much, even Dylan" we looked at each other and we both laughed at that. Dylan is secretly a huge teddy bear deep down. Very deep down. 20.000 leagues under the sea and more, but he is.

"I know they love me and I love them too" I said, smiling fondly.

Some moments of pure, comfortable silence followed. The music was still so nice and amazing and the sun had almost set down which means only one thing. Golden hour! My favorite time of the day. It always helps me relax and space out.

I was humming to the current song which was on, which was Rise and Fall by Sting and Craig Davis when all of sudden I heard loud bangs coming from behind us. I looked in the mirror and saw a black SUV like the one we are in following us. There was one tall man, with black clothes and black sunglasses, standing on the edge of the right front window pointing a gun at us and shooting multiples bullets towards us.
