The moment when you realise you didn't need them you will feel lost, you will feel lonely, but its also the moment of realisation, that you are finally living for you.

After that long conversation I had to excuse myself to rest, my head felt as if it was about to explode into a million pieces. It was a lot of informations, did I care my family was the mafia? No I didn't, I barely know them but I already feel connected to them. 

But I am not stupid, I know I will be in danger the minute people find out they have a long lost daughter. They said they will protect me, but I have read stories of these situations, the only person who can protect me is me. 

So I will ask about starting training soon because they won't be able to protect me forever.

But for now I need to rest, I have a few hours until dinner so I might as well take a long nap and then hot bath to calm my nerves a little.

I lied... I was in bed twisting and turning for about 20 minutes until I decided to give up, I couldn't sit here without keeping myself busy because then I would start to over think which won't do anyone any good. 

So here I am 2 hours later, finally finished putting my things away from todays shoppings spree. I am still beyond grateful for everything and I don't think I will ever be able to express my gratitude enough. 

I walked into the bathroom and headed straight towards the large bath in the middle of the room, it was huge and it would be a waste if I didn't use it while I am staying here. So I started filling it up, making sure to add half a bottle of bath bubbles, a rose scented bath bomb and of course some bath salts.

I pealed off my clothes as the bath filled up and then sat there, I will end up getting bored in the bath and over thinking, I thought to myself so I quickly ran back into my room and took a book called 'The Cruel Price' off my book shelf to read while I am in the bath. 

The water burnt my feet when I first stepped inside the bath, but I quickly sat down and almost screamed out in pain, I forgot that salt hurts open wounds and I have many of those scattered across my body. 

It took a few minutes but I got used to it eventually, I could have drained the water out and filled it again but that would be such a waste of water. 

I spent the next hour sitting in the bath reading the cruel prince, it was an amazing book. I wasn't ready to get out of the bath and put the book down but I had to since it was dinner time soon.

I get out and started getting ready for dinner. 

I have thought about it and I will stay here and not go to my aunts, I don't trust the Martinez family completely but them telling me about their business was a huge step in the right direction, I was still afraid they will lay a hand on me but I just need to continue to be careful and  stay in their good graces so it doesn't happen.
