twenty-three.

present.

THEY ALL STOOD outside of the house as a bodyguard puts their lugagges inside of the black SUV. "take care , okay? and make sure to visit us" Celia said as she hugged everyone and gave the children kisses on their cheeks.

"we will ,mama" Leo said and he hugged his parents. "come on now , in the car. we have to get to Barcelona earlier than expected" he said.

he needed to be there to train for his upcoming game in the Champions League against PSG.

Emily waved at then and climbed into the bacl of the car with Antonella , Thiago , Mateo and Ciro. Leo climbed in the passenger seat as the bodyguard drove.

"buckle up" Antonella said and the children did so. "you guys okay?" Leo asked.

"we're fine , amor" Anto said and smiled. Thiago sat next to Emily and Ciro on the other side of her.

Amtonella smiled at how the boys are slowly warming up to her. the car started to move and with a last hoot , they drove down the street.

Emily took out her phone and earphones and let Billie Eilish's 'happier than ever' blast in her ears.

she played with the silver locket around her neck that had the photo of her and her mother. she thought about how fast her life had changed.

she had lost her mother , gone through a depressive episode , met her father and his family and her siblings in less than a year.

the car came to an abrupt stop and Emily opened her eyes. "are we here?" she asked and Antonella nodded her head.

she unbuckled herself on the seat and climbed out. they were in a secluded area and in the distance ,Emily could see a rose gold jet.

her eyes widen as the bodyguards took all of their suitcases towards the jet. she felt the presence of her father and Antonella beside her.

"that's yours?" she asked her father who nodded his head. "it's gorgeous" she said and Leo smiled as he put his hand on her shoulder.

"ready to go home?" he asked and she slightly smiled and nodded her head. "ready" she replied.

they walked towards the direction of the jet and Leo entered the jet with Antonella and Mateo straight on his heels.

Emily let the other two entered it and then stepped on the plane.

she looked around the jet. it was even more beautiful than before.

"next to me!" Ciro said excitedly and she chuckled. "no , next to me" Mateo said and Emily went over to Ciro. she patted the seat next to her as she looked at Mateo.

"come on, big guy" she said and he went to sit next to her on the seat.

Emily suddenly yawned , making Ciro giggle. she kissed his forehead and thought about how fast her three siblings crept into her heart.

"you can sleep , Emily" Leo said. "we'll wake you up once we're there" Anto added and Emily nodded her head.

she placed her earphones in again and felt how her eyes drooped and then she fell into a dreamless sleep.
