Today is going to be a good day,I can feel it.

I have a skip in my step and nothing's gonna get in my way.

"Hi baby's" I say

"Mummmmmmy" The twins say in unison.

"Hello Isabella" Emily says

"Emily,you good?" I ask

"Yeah,I'm alright" She replies

"Mummy can we play with Emily today?" Arabella ask and Auriana nods in agreement.

"You don't wanna play with mummy?" I say in a fake sad voice

"Nooooo mummy that's no-" I cut Auriana short

"I know sweetie it's alright. Besides I was just joking. Of course you can play with Emily" I say and their faces light up

"Thank you mummy" Arabella says and Auriana nods in agreement.

"If you need me,I'll be downstairs" I say and Emily nods.

Walking downstairs,I hear Enzo and Antonio bickering.

What now?!

"But you promised" Enzo says

"Enzo,I'm busy. You're a grown as man. Go out yourself" Antonio says

"Do I even want to know?" I ask when I get to where they are.

"Antonio promised that he would go out with me today. Buy now, he claims he has something to do and that's not fair" Enzo says and Antonio rolls his eyes.

"I'll go out with you" I say

"Really?" Enos's face lights up

"Yeah" I reply smiling.

"Go to hell Antonio, I've found a new bestie" Enzo says.

"Where are we going?" I ask laughing.

"Just out" He says.

"Oh okay"

"Antonio, can you tell the girls I went out with Enzo and that I'll be back?" I ask

"Sure thing" he says and I smile.

I haven't been allowed to live the house myself ever since what happened. If I did want to leave,I needed a bodyguard and that's just absurd. But since I'm with Enzo,I don't need a bodyguard. Besides I can protect myself now.

Enzo drives us to the park. It's not a sunny day, neither is it a dull day. We walk over to the grass and sit on it.

"This is nice" I say

"Yeah" he replies.

"Enzo,you can talk,I'll listen to you" I say smiling

"I actually want to ask you a question" he says.

"I'm listening"

" Do you ever miss you're brother? "

I didn't expect that.

Of course I miss him.

I think about him every morning when. wake up and every night before bed.

I think about how I let him down

I think about how I failed him

Everyday,I think. Maybe...just maybe if I hadn't gone to the cemetery, Roberto would still be alive.

"Yeah" I say barely above a whisper.

"I lost a brother too actually" Enzo says
"but I don't miss him" he says looking down
