Its been a month since I've been here. I've been talking to Aaron alot more, not like that, for therapy. He called me himself, and he's always been able to tell how I am by the way I talk.

Last night, he said he'll send me a prescription on email for the medication I used to take in highschool. But I don't know how to go get it. So I might not.

Anyways, I've been doing online classes for college, and in two months, I'm graduating. Yes Im graduating early because all I have done for the past two years is stay in and study.

I have also been spending alot of time with Arianna's two children. They're very sweet little boys. Marco is older, he's 4 and Matteo is 6 months. They're absolutely adorable I love them already.

I just got out of the shower and picked out clothes for today, Im babysitting them for the day, all the ladies are going out but I said I didn't want to.

I decided on a pair of light washed ripped jeans and a crew neck sweat shirt, I have a tank top under my sweatshirt too.

I also put on a little makeup today.

I slip on my jewelery and leave my room, heading straight to Arianna's

I slip on my jewelery and leave my room, heading straight to Arianna's.

I knock on her door and it opens with Vincenzo behind it. That's her husband, Hunter's brother.

"Ah Arabella, good morning, why weren't you at breakfast?" he says, voice heavy. "You're never at the table" He says stepping to the side to let me in.

"I just dont like intruding, you all are a family and Im just some stranger" I shrug.

"Oh please, it's your brother babe, you know how Hunter can be" Arianna says walking out of her closet. "Arabella thankyou so much for doing this, I never get to go shopping anymore" she says putting on earrings as Marco runs out of the closet.

"Ra raa!" he squeals hugging my legs with his small arms. I pick him up kissing his cheek.

"Hi sweety!" I kiss his head. "Ready to spend the day with me?" I ask him. He nods his head rapidly.

"Im'na miss mommy" he jumps in my arms.

"Aww Im going to miss my baby boy too, come here baby" she takes him.

"Alright ladies, I have to go to work, bye little man" he kisses his wife and kid before leaving.

After the ladies all leave, I take Marco with me to his room to put him down for his nap.

"Ra ra don't leave ok? We can play after nap time" he says sleepily as I put him in bed and tuck him in.

"I'll sit right there in that chair little one, and wait for your nap time to be over okay? Sleep now" I kiss his head and turn out the light.

I'm in the living room with Matteo is on my chest as I sit on the sofa and Marco is playing with his cars on the carpeted floor.

"Hey little man!" I hear a loud voice making me jump a little.

"Hey Arabella, didn't see you there" It's Jayden, and his twin. And another guy.

"Hey, Antonio, we haven't met" The guy introduces and I smile at him. They sit down on the couches.

"JayJay may we go to the park?" Marco asks Jayden making us laugh lightly.

"He's been asking all day but I can't take them out without 'one of the boys'? I don't know who they are" I say and Jayden nods.

"Well Ari does call us that, sure little man, Arabella youre coming too?" Antonio asks.

"Yes, if thats okay" I say timidly.

"Ofcourse lets go"

"I'll drive" Hayden speaks for the first time, like ever. In front of me.

~

We're in the park, im sitting on a bench, rocking baby Matteo in my arms after I fed him. I already called Arianna to let her know and she said she was glad we're having fun.

The boys are near the swings playing with Marco. Well actually only Jaydens playing with him the other two are just standing guard.

Once he's asleep I put him down in his stroller and hold it by the handle.

"Hey" I look up to see a guy, maybe around my age.

"Hi?" I ask him making him smile.

"This isn't your baby is it?" He asks making me crack a smile. He's cute.

"No no, I'm baby sitting for my-" I pause. "Friend" I finish.

"Thought so you look too young for a baby" He says. "Im Mario, I saw you and thought you were beautiful" he says making me blush a little.

"Ra ra I gots bubblesss" Marco squeals running towards me with a bottle of solution.

"Woww show me some bubbles then" I say leaning towards him. He sputters into the wand then frowns. "aww its okay little baby"

"Y-you try!" he says excitedly jerking the bottle towards me making the soapy water go all over my shirt and neck.

I shriek a little making Marco jump.

"I I'm sowy Ra ra" he frowns at me. I kiss his forehead.

"No its okay little baby, it was an accident, im okay" I say as the guys gather around us.

"Who are you?" Hayden grunts looking at Mario.

"Uh he's Mario, we were just talking, I uh"

"Here you can have my sweat shirt instead" Mario says slipping his sweatshirt off to reveal his large frame, strong muscled arms in a black wife beater. And a silver chain.

Oh my god so hot.

Shut up.

"Oh thankyou, um" I turn to Jayden. "Can you just watch the baby and Marco for a second?" I ask him and he nods, scowling at Mario who follows me as I walk to the small public restroom stall thing.

I slip on his sweatshirt inside then walk out and he's waiting for me.

"Thankyou Mario, you're so nice" I say and he smiles. "Are you cold though? I can just give this back-"

"No! No Im perfectly fine, uh I do want something in return though" he says and I furrow my eyebrows. "Your number". He says cheekily making me laugh.
