Although on the outside Aurora seems to have it all together. In reality she feels like she is a let down. At age 4 she was separated from her family but still remembers them. Her father was her idol but hasn't seen him in years.
The thing is, she w...

Waking up I start to panic, I don't recognise where I am. An arm tightens around my waist and tears threaten to fall from my eyes. I sniffled slightly as I feel the person move.
The bed shifts again and I'm being rolled over. I come face to face with Alessandro and I let out a sigh of relief. I don't realise my tears fell until he reaches out to wipe the tear from off my cheek.
"What happened piccolo fiore?" He asks gently cupping my cheek.
I sniffle and bring my hands up to sign to him. 'I was scared and thought everyone left me again, I didn't know where I was. I'm sorry.' I look down and fiddle with my fingers and chew my bottom lip.
I do it all the time when I get nervous. I've always done it but it increased when I was taken. There are a few things I do when I'm scared. Chewing my lip or the inside of my cheek, I scratch my arm or hand vigorously, have panic attacks or clench my fists really hard resulting in my nails digging in.
He sees my lip and pulls it out from between my teeth. It's bleeding slightly but it's fine. I've had worse.
"Fiore, we will never ever let you leave us again. You have absolutely nothing to be sorry for."
I nod my head and look down, I then sign, 'I'm going to go now.' I make a move to get up but I am stopped my Alessandro's hand gripping my wrist. "I love you Fiore."
I smile lightly and then leave, going through the hallway towards my room. Before I get there arms snake around my waist tossing me into the air. I audibly gasp in surprise, looking down I see a smiling Lorenzo.
He looks almost proud of himself. It puzzles me as to why until I feel myself laughing when he starts tickling me.
I start getting out of breath so he finally stops. During my giggling fit, we accumulated quite an audience. Momma, daddy Lessy, Leo, Teo and Matti all stand there with big smiles on there faces.
A blush appears on my face and I look down in embarrassment, they are all looking at me and I feel uncomfortable but also loved.
"Aw look she's embarrassed!" Matti playfully jokes.
I try my best to a mean pouty face, but it doesn't work and they all coo at me. I huff and cross my arms. Again they all giggle at me and then Teo comes and tickles me, putting a smile back on my face. I give up and let out a giggle. He eventually stops and I take a deep breath and in no time, my breathing is back to normal.
This time mommy comes and picks me up and we start walking down the hallway to my room. "Come on then Principessa, I will come and help you get ready." She says cheerfully.
