—Did they kill him for me, for us?

—Yes, we are a family Emily, we must protect each other.

—And your brothers did it too?

—Yes, in fact there is something I must tell you.

I settle on his body to listen to how they left the hospital, went to the house and held Fabian to make him pay. Although the explicit explanation seems a bit grotesque to me, it makes me feel at peace knowing that he is already dead and paid in the best way for all the damage he had already caused.

My eyes water when he tells me about what his brothers told him, however, he reveals to me that his brother Leone is not very well, so to speak, he continues to see a void in him that will most likely lead him to separate at some point. I think it's the best, after all this we all need our time to think, we must recover and rest because they have spent years with the same thing and I don't understand where they get the strength to stay standing.

Simply thinking about all this, plans, battles and strategy games to kill your enemies already burns the few neurons I have left. I'm proud to know that things are going well with his brothers, but it's inevitable to think about mine. She cried again into his arms remembering a couple of experiences that most marked me when being with David.

-Know? Someday I think you will be the principal of a school.

He told me while we were eating at a new restaurant like we did certain days a week.

-Why do you think that?

"You have everything to be a leader, to command, to talk to parents without having to fight all the time," he said. And I think it's great to have my little sister as director, maybe you'll make me assistant director. We love children, they have judged us many times because they believe that this career is for mediocre people without ever thinking that without experience, knowledge and studies you cannot really be "someone" in life. We are part of human development, that's what they don't value about us Meg.

—Would you like to open a school?

-Yeah.

-With me?

"Of course I do," he was happy for my idea that he had held captive. Everything you achieve in life remember that it will make me proud until the end, I will always be applauding your achievements until I die.

—You're not leaving without me, you fool!

"Then we have to raise our money, see some land and start our school," he proposed without shame. I think we can help all types of children, my brothers tell me that there are schools for the disabled, they think it is to divide the normal ones from the weird ones and I don't like that. I don't like people being separated because of their differences.

—Let's make two modules, two towers! —I got excited letting the soda run out of my nose, David had dropped a ball of ground beef—. We can have trained people to help us with people with difficulties, they are not strange, but we know that they must have a different teaching and in many schools even the teachers themselves are sometimes rude to the children because they believe that with beatings and scolding they will understand. I understand that they are stressed but...

—We would have to give them a psychological test, we cannot have violent teachers who can't stand working with all the children, I'm not talking about anyone specific, for me...

-We are all different.

We spoke at the same time, we joined hands and in that moment I felt that I could really fulfill a dream accompanied by the right person. In life we will always have a person with whom we will carry out a project, no matter the magnitude, but we always have goals with those people who are part of our environment.

I had a goal with him.

I had a dream.

And now that he's gone, it's hard for me to think that it will come true. I tell Salvatore about it while I create a sea over his chest because I can't stop crying. I think that so many accumulated emotions make me explode in his arms, little by little the fatigue is turning me off. The doctors come in and try to keep me awake, even though they know I'm fine because I've spent a few hours clinging to my Salvatore.

To my big teddy bear.

I don't know how many tests they do, they ask me questions that I try to answer with the absolute truth, Salvatore feeds me and in the end I end up resting because I really feel exhausted.

Having him by my side eliminates my nightmares, having him hugging me makes those images of the plane disappear from my head, those explosions dissolve and I remember all the beautiful moments we spent together before boarding the plane.

I get lost in those memories.

I get lost in the good times I had with my brother.

And this is how I cry even in my own dreams, with emotion, happiness, sadness and laughter from remembering everything.
