"How are you?" Hunter asks over the phone, making me sigh.

"I'm good," I answer, laying down on my bed. "How are you?" I ask.

"I'm also good," There is a pause after he answers, our breathing being the only thing heard. "He asked about you," Hunter says, making me sigh, again.

"How is he?" I ask in a whisper. "Is he getting better?" I continue, rolling on my stomach, grabbing my pillow in the process.

"He's good... He will be out in a week or two," Hunter says, which makes me murmur an ok. "Will you ever go to see him? It has been three months," He continues, making a tear drop from my eye.

"I will go to see him," I reply.

"When? You always say that," Hunter says, rolling his eyes.

Hunter and I are on facetime. He calls me every single day and we always have the same conversation. He always tells me about Diego's progress, and from what he told me yesterday, Diego is doing good.

Hunter has told me that Diego has tried harming himself several times in the past three months. He apparently started getting childhood flashbacks. And I do get sad when I hear the news.

I still speak to Diego when Hunter goes to visit him. He did tell me that being alone in a room makes him think about the past. He said that being idle was hurting his peace of mind.

And that resulted in Hunter visiting him every single day, and Hunter also took Diego's painting supplies to him. Diego has painted a lot of beautiful pieces in the past few months, and Hunter does show them to me. He also sent some of the paintings to me. I have every single painting that Diego sent in my room, and it does make me feel like he is right next to me.

"I will go and see him before he leaves the place," I answer.

"Do what you want to do," Hunter replies, smoking his cigar. "How is therapy?" Hunter asks, looking at me with seriousness on his face.

"It has been going alright. I have not been hearing the voices as frequently as before, and my theripist also told me that my next appointment might be the last." I answer, a small smile coming on my face.

I started therapy the same week that Diego left, and I have to admit that therapy has helped me cope with my anxiety and Diego leaving.

I remember crying when I came home that day. The date was beautiful. It was something that I never dreamed of, but loved. I learnt a lot of things about Diego. Diego also told me about the good memories he shares with Hunter.

Diego told me that Hunter once broke a neighbor's window just because the neighbor was being rude to Diego.

And the craziest story was when Hunter and Diego scared Anna with a snake.

Anna had hit Diego, and Hunter happened to see everything that happened. Hunter convinced Diego to take revenge, and on that day Hunter stole a snake from a pet store, which he later returned. Hunter and Diego put the snake on Anna's bed while she was showering, and she ended up screaming till she fell on the floor, hurting herself in the process.

If Diego said that he did it alone I would have been shocked, but hearing that Hunter was involved made perfect sense. Hunter does crazy unbelievable things.

The date night was bittersweet to me. I asked Diego when he was leaving, and when he told me about leaving before sunset, I broke. I felt like a bucket of ice cold water was thrown at me, I felt different emotions.

I understood his reasons, and I still do. But the stupid voices started taunting me, telling me that Diego was leaving me forever. The voices started telling me that I am the problem, that Diego needs space from me. The voices started telling me that he will never return to me, that he will leave me and never come back.

I had to convince myself otherwise. I had to tell myself that everything will be fine. I had to tell myself that Diego loves me, just like I love him.

The voices that are inside the head can turn the pettiest problems into the biggest issues.

My heart swells with happiness when I remember Diego's confession. I never expected him to say it back

I confessed my love for him in the heat of the moment and I do not know what made me confess to him, but I do not regret doing it. The words just came out of my mouth, and when I realized that I said them, I was conflicted. I did not know if I was suppose to run away or if I was suppose to stay.

I ended up choosing the second option. I spread my bed and I had to lay on it.

I thought kissing him would distract him, that he would forget about what I said. But it did not, he ended up saying the words back to me, making me feel like a special lady.

"I am glad to hear that," Hunter says, interrupting my thoughts.

"I am happy to see both Diego and you getting better," Hunter says with a smile on his face, which makes me smile back.

I hear my mother's voice, telling me that she will be going out with Dad. She asks me if I would love to join them, and I say no.

My parents and I are always found together these days, and I feel like I need to give them a bit of space. The two need to spend time together.

My mom wishes me goodbye, running down the stairs, which makes me chuckle. I just know that she is late, she is always late to something.

"Did you tell them?" Hunter asks when I turn back to the phone. I sigh shaking my head yes. "What did they say? Did they approve of Diego?" Hunter asks.

"They did," I answer. "I had to tell them when they saw how sad I was. I was a mess when Diego left, and they were the ones comforting me. They were a bit disappointed when they heard that he is the feared Diego everyone knows. But when they heard that he was the one that encouraged me to get better, they approved. I told them that he is a good hearted person, and they can't wait to meet him," I continue with a smile on my face.

"I am happy to hear that," Hunter says with a smile of his own. "I have to go now. I have to be in a meeting, and Diego will kill me if I miss it.... Take care, alright?"

"I will. Bye" I wave, as he waves back.

The screen goes black, which makes me sigh. I pull the picture I always put underneath one of my pillows, smiling when I see Diego's warm eyes.

"One more week," I murmur, looking at the picture I got from the mansion.
