"C'mon lets go," said Amelia softly. I nodded and the three of us left upstairs. They took me to their bedroom and I sat on the bed. Amelia sat down next to me and held my hand. I sniffled and a tear fell down my face. She squeezed my hand and I lost it. I put my head in her lap and cried as she brushed through my hair with her fingers.

*Knock Knock* Jackson opened the door to reveal Chris. "Get out of here. You-" began Jackson.

"It's alright Jackson, let him in," I said as I sat up.

"Tesoro, I'm so sorry. You know I'd never hurt you or Connor."

"I know... Amelia, Jackson this is my childhood friend Christiano." Amelia smiled at him and Jackson and Chris nodded at each other.

Chris came over and sat on the ground at the foot of the bed. "Madi went to get us some clothes for the night."

"Us?" I asked.

"Yeah Jason, Sean and Sam went back to the house after I said Madi and I would stay here with you tonight, then bring you back tomorrow."

"No.," said Jackson.

"What are you talking about Jackson?" asked Amelia.

"I'm talking about there's no way in hell I'm letting Sydney go back to him."

"Believe me, I don't want her stuck with Jason, but what do you expect to do? He won't let her go. He knows she'd go back to her brother, and if you tried to keep her here, he'd start a war." said Chris.

"Well, we have to do something. Get her somewhere he couldn't find her," said Amelia.

"Where could she go? She doesn't have any family anywhere." Jackson pointed out.

"I could go back to Italy." I laughed.

"That could work," said Chris as he stood up.

"I was joking,"I said looking at him like he was crazy.

"I'm not," Chris said. "My parents still live in Italy. Jason didn't even know I was Italian before you came. He'd never think we'd go there."

"Okay, so I'm just going to live with your parents?" I asked.

"Well Connor would go to and so would I," said Chris.

"Chris you would do that?" I asked.

"Of course. You guys mean a lot to me. And I can't stand by Jason after this."

"Thank you," I said.

He nodded. "Okay I'm going to call Madi to pack extra clothes for us, then ill call Connor to meet us here with his things."

"And we will get you guys a flight to Italy," said Jackson.

"I'm going with you guys," said Amelia.

"No Amelia," Jackson said sternly.

Amelia stood up and grabbed his hands. " She's my best friend. I lost her once, I'm not going to lose her again. I'm just going to stay until Jason has forgotten about her."

Jackson looked like he was going to argue but all he did was nod and kiss her softly. "I'll get the flight done now." he left the room and Chris called Madi then Connor.

Madi arrived here thirty minutes later. "I got all the stuff but why did you have me pack so much?" she asked.

We all looked at each other. I bit my lip and responded. "Well, you see the thing is... I'm leaving tonight."

"That's what I thought, I'm coming with you."

"Madi no," said Chris.

"And why not?" she glared at Chris.

"Because we need you here to keep Jason off our tail," I said.

"Fine, Who else is going?" she asked.

"Me, my brother, Chris, and Amelia," I said.

"Jason going to try and find you guys. Where are you guys going to go?" she asked.

"It's better if we don't tell you. If Jason finds out you knew, he could try to get it out of you," said Amelia.

Madi nodded. She then hugged me. "Be safe." she released me. "Will you keep in touch?"

"Of course, once we get a safe number I'll call you."

She nodded and turned to Chris. She gave him a hug which he returned. He kissed her forehead before letting her go. "I better go. Good luck," she said before she left.

Connor arrived a little while after she left." Sorella!" he came over to me and hugged me. "Who are they?" he asked holding my hand.

"This is Amelia and Jackson Gray, Do you remember me telling you about them?"

"Oh yeah. You guys were her only friends out here, well really her only friends. Thank you for being there for her then and helping us now." he shook both of their hands and they smiled in return.

"And this is Christiano Galletti," I said.

"No way. Chris?" he laughed and they both hugged each other. "Okay so what's the plan?" he asked.

We explained our plan to him and Connor was all for it. At midnight, Jackson drove us to the airport where a private jet was waiting for us. Chris and Connor got on the plane as Amelia and I said our goodbyes to Jackson. We entered the plane and took our seats. I sat on a window seat with Amelia next to me and Connor and Chris in front of us. The plane took off of the ground and we were on our way to Italy.

"Hey... Are you okay?" asked Connor. I nodded and smiled at him. I looked out the window and at the city below us.

This place has been my home. It has been safe for Connor and I. I can't help but feel like I'm going to miss this place. Like I'm going to miss the people here like I'm going to miss him...
