I was still trying to figure out was was happening. Nothing made sense whatsoever.
"Melissa?" Leo's voice slightly cracked as his face was full down streaming with tears.
"Yes, I know it's me." She said but the way her voice sounded made me narrow my eyes at her. Her voice sounded fake and sickly sweet.
"I don't understand." Valentino sighed running a hand through his black hair that was now untamed. "I thought...we thought you were-"
"Im sorry, I really am. I just--its too hard to explain." She sighed.
"My eyes are playing with me." Kai said closing his eyes repeatedly. A chuckle left Melissa's lips as she started at all of them with love and adoration in her eyes.
I stood there not knowing what was happening nor knowing what to do.
It seemed like all of them snapped out of their daze as they all ran up to her and immediately embraced her in hugs and Leo sobbed into her.
As soon as they hugged her and her face was out of view, her whole expression changed as she looked at me with distaste and hate. Great, another person hates my gut for no reason.
Her smile quickly returned when Valentino stepped back from her. He looked at her carefully as he raised his hand and caressed her cheek delicately like if he pressed any harder she would fade away.
"Can someone tell me what's happening?" I questioned pressing my lips together.
"She came back." Leo responded with his cracked voice.
"Uh, okay. I'm leaving." I stated walking up the stairs.
I aimlessly roamed through the second floor. All I could do was make turns left and right and it felt like a never ending maze.
I stopped when I came across a door that had a paper sticked to it. The paper had my name in big letter.

I turned the knob and walked inside. There was a king sized bed that was adorned with a white silk. The pillows were placed perfectly on the bed. There were two windows on each side of the bed, that almost took the whole wall. A study desk was placed on the side of the room.
I turned around a walked to the door that was on my left. There were clothes placed neatly on the wardrobe. Different shades of colors and fabrics entered my view making me stare agape. I checked their sizes and found that there were all my size.
Huh so I guess this is what Leo was talking about.
I walked further into the closet and I found another door, I opened it and a bathroom came into my view. The theme was a white shiny marble, there was a Jacuzzi on the side and a normal shower beside it. A mirror took up all the wall on the opposite side and the sink too. I stood in front of the sink and grabbed a toothbrush in one of the cabinet.
I started brushing my teeth while looking in the mirror. I noticed my skin has gotten pale and I had bags under my eyes. I washed my mouth and walked towards my bed. I layed flat on my back while staring at the ceiling. I wish I had my phone right now.
I felt my eyes slowly close and I felt myself surrender .

My eyes flew open as I felt my windpipe being closed. I saw a figure on top of me, straddling me. I felt the person press tighter against my throat. Instead of trying to pry the hands of me like any person would, I punched the person in the eye. The hold in my neck loosened and I immediately lifted my upper half, I kicked it the person of my bed and I heard a feminine groan and a thud.

What the hell?
I grabbed the dagger that Leo gave me that was in the night stand beside my bed. I lifted her by grabbing her hair and trailing her until I pinned her against the wall while having my dagger against her throat.
I carefully turned on the lights while looking at her. I checked the watch on my wrist and saw it was 4:56 in the morning. Can't even rest.
The door flew open and a very shirtless Valentino stood there with the other two behind him. His eyes trailed to me and the dagger I had on Melissa. He walked towards me and he pushed me hard. I stumbled across the room and my back landed on the closet door.
I closed my eyes and bit my lip feeling pain trail up my back.
"Are you ok?" I heard Leo ask, I was about to respond but I lifted my head and saw Leo was asking Melissa while Kai was giving me a death glare.
"No I'm not ok! She tried to kill me!" Her whiny voice was torture to my ears. She was stomping her feet on the ground like a kid.
"Are you fucking insane!?" Valentino said walking towards me and standing in front of me.
I stood up slowly, my head reached his neck and I needed to lift my head to look at him. I was about to explode by anger.
I kept a straight face while responding. "No but you're fucking friend is! She tried to kill me while I was sleeping." I pointed to the red marks on my neck, I crossed my arms over my chest thinking I won the argument.
"It was self defense, you came into my room and wanted to stab me, you bitch." Melissa argued back lying in front of my face.
My eyes widened and my mouth flew open. I felt my anger bubble inside me that wanted to be released. I lunged towards Melissa but Leo quickly grabbed me keeping me from killing her. Tears of anger started to cloud my vision.
I saw Valentino quickly grab Melissa's hand and leave my room. I felt my knees weaken and Leo slowly put me to the floor. I heard his footsteps leave the room and my door close shortly.
I heard chatters and mutters on the other side of my door.
I unknowingly clenched my fist and slowly backed out the wall and towards my bed. I layed down thinking why she was here in this exact house?
All the tiredness I felt vanished and I was wide awake not knowing what to do.
