           CITLALI LAID IN HER BED, ESTRELLA AND MARISOL WERE STILL ASLEEP, IN EZ AND Angel's old childhood bedroom. Citlali looked over to Santiago's side of the room, she couldn't help but smile. Some of his adolescence things were still here, on her side, there were photos up. It took her back to her teenage self. The small bookshelf that Santiago and her shared, sat in between both beds, with a few old perfumes and colognes, and some of their Star Wars figures. She couldn't help but smile lightly. Her books filled the bookshelf, along with Santiago's comic books and books. A few of Ez's books as he had lent her some. Many of her books were about magic, romance, teen angst, and just about anything a teenage girl would find interesting. She got up and saw her old collection of the L.J Smith Night World Series, she grabs the first one and smiles opening it and a photo slips out, it's of her and Charlie, in her hands she had the second book. The two of the smiles widely, at the camera.

"You always made me feel normal." She says softly. Even after her attack, near death experience, Charlie was the only one who made her feel normal. While Ez and Angel treated her like she would break at any moment. Her father basically made her brothers be her bodyguards, her mothers constant worry for her. Charlie was her safe haven.

Teenage Charlie and Citlali sat at a lunch table, with their friends. Most of them were Charlie's friends, as Citlali's friends were all dead.

"So what are your plans for the summer ?" Chris asks them. Citlali would of most likely spent her summer with Maria and Layla, but now, she didn't have them. She was alone.

"Helping out at the shop." She says. "Start on any AP summer assignments." Taking a grape and eating it and Charlie smiles looking at his girlfriend.

"You're definitely Ez's sister." Chris says making them laugh. Citlali just gives them a small smile, and she plays with Charlie's hand fidgeting.

"My girls smart like that." Charlie says as she gives his hand a squeeze twice, thanking him for standing up for her. He looks down and gives her lazy smile, before kissing the top of her head.

"Charlie?" Chris asks.

"Same as everyone summer, just with Citlali included." Charlie says smiling, and his friends tease him for being whipped. He only smiles bashfully blushing lightly, Citlali smiles blushing as well.



             THE REYES GIRLS WALKED AROUND SANTO PADRE, EATING ICE CREAM, THE GIRLS seem to enjoy themselves, but Citlali saw what happened months ago. Her being stabbed and she loses her breath for a few, and she takes a deep breathe and reminds herself, he can't hurt her anymore. They can't hurt her. She's taking her dam power back.
