'The front door smashes open, and I hear three sets of angry, loud footsteps penetrate the first level of the apartment. "Oh, darling Amity, where are you, my zucchero?" Stefano shouts in a sing-song voice. Obviously, I don't respond, leaning my body further against the balcony and holding a hand over my mouth, so I don't make a noise. "You're not in trouble, succhiare il miele," Xavier shouts out. "Well, not if you come out now..." I keep inching closer to the edge, less than a step from falling eleven meters and cracking my head open to die.' * Amity Gregor is a regular teenage girl, struggling with her grades and fawning over boys.
