—Come on, David!

We get in the car, just getting behind the wheel already makes me feel powerful. When my ears are filled with the sweet and strong sound of the engine, no one can stop me, my feet move like crazy, I laugh full of nerves and I nail the front of the car at Salvatore, he receives the blow and points at me .

—Without killing me, woman!

-I'm sorry.

I back away so as not to hit him anymore, Trixi is in love with the dog and so am I, but this car is so beautiful that I could marry it right now. I walk around the main area a couple of times.

—Fuck, Emily, tell me how to catch a mobster.

—You won't need one because if all this is mine, I can give you a couple of gifts, David.

—Oh, I don't want to get in trouble with your now boyfriend.

“We are conquering each other,” I mutter with mocking arrogance. Like in the old one.

—Well, I think he's making you his girlfriend today, God, they're going to the party and I assure you that you're going to bring him back behind you giving you your sexual gifts.

—Shut up, I don't want to get hot now.

—You're a bitch.

He pushes me with his hand and I start laughing, I see the brothers playing with the dog and the little girl waiting for me to come back.

—I will not justify their actions and even less when I am sure that soon I will become like them, however, I can tell you that Salvatore is that man who is helping me rebuild myself as I do with him.

“You deserve it,” he says with complete sincerity. These days, the school teachers who got along with you and the mothers... Emily, I don't want to ruin your birthday, but I love that you want to become a strong woman because out there they want to make you look very bad.

-Because you said so?

—The mothers and teachers who knew you anonymously received the photos that you shared with Fabian, they are shocked by that.

-That?

"I don't want you to feel bad, Norma, the director and I contacted the authorities and I didn't want to tell you because you were on break after what happened with Helena," she confesses, squeezing my shoulder encouraging me. I fixed it, we had a meeting with the parents to make it clear that right now you have enemies who want to make you feel bad.

—I... thank you, David.

—I will always protect you, never doubt them, but be careful and achieve everything you have in mind because right now they are stronger than both of us. From that day on, I think the Rinaldis realized my participation, they were following me, however, your boyfriend put up a guard for me to protect me.

That blocks me in moments, I don't get out of the car, I turn it off and analyze everything that David just told me. Really, all of them were trying hard to make me feel shit, when I took five strong and determined steps, something new came from them, making me take another fifteen steps back.

I feel bad, I feel discovered and unprotected. Not only that, I feel guilty because David is risking too much and because of my fucking fault he can put his life in danger.

—I'm very sorry David.

—You shouldn't blame yourself for anything darling, you know that I will always be protecting you like you did for me at the time. Nothing will happen to me, and if it does, I will be happy to have fallen after having fought and protected my best friend who is almost like a sister.

-Thank you.

—It's nothing, of all the successful siblings we have, which one does Emily get us? Nobody, nobody does it, it's just the two of us playing the roles of brothers that we didn't have even though we do have them in person.

"I know," I approach to hug him. I'll talk to Salvatore, I have to take better care of you, I won't be gone for long.

-Don't worry.

We get out of the car, when Salvatore looks at me his smile immediately disappears.
