*4 months later*

MATTIAS POV:

"dad dad dad get up!" bella says getting on top of me as i get up.

"bella it's 5 am" i groan.

"aunt maiyas in labor!" she says with excitement.

"come on dad can we go please"

"bella you know only her family are allowed" i tell her.

"we are family"

"no i mean blood related family" i explain.

"ohhhh"

"so we can't see her?" she says as her voice calms down.

"not when she is in labor, after she gives birth me and you can go visit them okay?" i say trying to cheer her up.

"okay"

"now can you go back to bed it's 5 am" i say tired.

"ugh fine" she says laying down next to me facing me.

"i'm so excited" she says as i chuckle.

"and im tired now go back to sleep or we won't visit them" i tell her.

"okay okay" she says.

you see bella is getting better thank god. she is still not comfortable with people she isn't close to and doesn't trust. bella gets nightmares every now and then but sometimes would manage to sleep in her room alone.

therapy helped and so did jack. bella can't go anywhere without jack now, it's either jack is a with her or she's glued to me all the time.

i'm still working on her getting outside the house more. we went to the mall the other day, she almost cried when she saw a man yelling at one of the starbucks workers.

the thing is the boys are telling me to get her to go back to school.

"she needs to get used to people her age mattia" kairi says.

"you know she needs to go back eventually she can't be stuck at home all the time"  ale says.

"mattias it's been 4 months, she'll be fine"  alvaro says.

i talked to her therapist. she said it was for the best to let her go back to school but i'm still overthink everything.

what if she gets bullied again?

is she gonna be okay with it?

thoughts flying through my head everyday about this.

*the next day*

BELLAS POV:

we couldn't go to the hospital yesterday cause dad said her whole family plus uncle alvaros family was there he said we can visit her today which i'm so excited about.

i just woke up and went to the bathroom. looking at myself in the mirror i look extremely tired but i was still excited.

i wash my face remembering what happened last night. i was crying at 3 am cause i had a horrible nightmare. i couldn't move out of my bed cause i was terrified, dad was sleeping so i couldn't do anything.

jack fell asleep downstairs and i didn't pick him up to take him to my room last night so i couldn't let him tell dad. it was horrible.

i cleaned myself up and changed so i look more put together.

let's hope no one notices how tired i look

i walk downstairs and see uncle ale just ordered some pancakes for breakfast. i take the plate and watch some tv with my uncles while eating breakfast.

(kairi was in the hospital with maiya)

*almost an hour later*

MATTIAS POV:

i wake up and get ready for the day i check bellas room to see it was empty meaning she's downstairs.

i walk downstairs as i get something to eat. passing by the living room i noticed sleeping bella on the couch.

ale comes next to me in the kitchen, looks at bella than back at me.

"she looks hella tired, did she wake you up last night?" ale asked as i shook my head no looking at bella.

"the minute she finished the first pancake she knocked out" he says as i make eye contact with him.

"shit" i whisper to myself.

"you think it's the nightmares again?" ale asked.

"but this whole week she's been completely fine" i say.

"just let her sleep for now she needs some rest" ale says as i nod.

*30 mins later*

BELLAS POV:

i wake up in the living room surrounded by uncles who were watching this random show.

dad was sitting next to me, i sit up.

"bella" he whispers.

as i move my head facing him.

"did you have a nightmare last night" he asks quietly.

"um no why" i lied. dad looked me dead in the eye and raised his eyebrow.

"alright fine i did but it wasn't bad" i said.

"you could've came and woke me up" he says.

i just look down i was so ashamed that this was bothering me, it's been 4 months why am i not over this.

"i'm fine dad no need to worry" i said giving him a fake smile and turned around to watch tv.

trying my best to put myself together, i was getting sleepy.

why am i so tired?

i remembered, when i woke up at 3 am i only went back to bed by 5 am.

just try to stay awake bella

i thought to myself. i didn't want to fall asleep that will show that i was lying.

but i couldn't help it. my eyes kept getting heavier and heavier.

i opened them trying to stay awake but i couldn't.

hopefully dad didn't notice anything

as my eyes were getting heavier, i ended up falling asleep.

just a few minutes

i thought to myself closing my eyes.

MATTIAS POV:

i knew she was lying. i looked at her seeing her eyes kept closing for a couple of seconds then she's open them.

and poof just like that she knocked out again.

"i'll take her upstairs, she needs some rest" i told ale and carried bella up the stairs.

placing her on my bed i went to her room. i looked around it and noticed. a small pile of tissues on the floor, she was crying.

the drawer was opened. i checked inside to see a bunch of papers and a pencil and some pens.

i looked through some written papers.

(paper 1)

i had this horrible nightmare last night, cynthia was in it. she was beating me up so bad i coughed up so much blood i think i fainted.

and then she pushed me off the stairs and i woke up.

(paper 2)
go away go away go away go away

stop touching me

leave me alone you monster

i hate you i hate you i hate you i hate you i hate you

(paper 3)

i'm probably being dramatic

why is it effecting me so much

i look so weak

they probably think i'm being overdramatic

it's been almost 4 months isabella, get over it you ugly rat. just stop you piece of shxt

your so weak you idiot stop it everyone it's probably embarrassed to have you you worthless pig

i couldn't read anymore papers.

oh my dear bella.

this was already heart breaking. why does she think about herself like that.

bella was like her mother, she wrote about her feelings instead of really talking about them.

i walked back to my room and saw bella laying there.

i laid next to her.

looking at the ceiling, thoughts running through my head.

i just want my baby back, the happy one.

she's just 13 man, she hasn't even seen the world yet.
it's such a cruel world tho, i just hope it treats her better.

a few tears escaped my eyes.

i haven't let out everything yet. the therapist insists on talking to me but i try to avoid her. she would even tell bella to let me inside when she finished her sessions but i refused, i don't have to make this about me.

bella moved a little bit as i quickly wiped my tears.

i see bellas small arms trying to stretch herself. (idk if it makes sense so make it make sense lmao)

rubbing her eyes bella woke up.

as i was sitting on the edge of the bed we make eye contact. bella sighed knowing what i was about to say.

"alright fine i didn't get enough sleep, i had a horrible nightmare, i couldn't move from the bed cause i was terrified, and jack was sleeping downstairs so i couldnt get him to help me and yes i needed you" bella says so fast without making any eye contact.

the speed this girl had with talking.

i smiled at the last thing she said "and yes i needed you"

"you see this room?" i says as she looks at me confused.

"well get used to it your staying here for a while" i say with an annoying smile on my face.

"dadddd" bella wined.

"i'll be fine dad it was just a bad night" bella said.

"how do i know your not lying huh" i said.

"um idk" bella shrugged "i'll be fine dad"

gosh

"fine but on one condition, jack stays with you in your room when your sleeping, next to you so you can wake him up easily, oh and idc if you feel bad for him when he sleeps downstairs cause he's tired, he's sleeping next you" i say emotionless.

"alright"

"now get ready" i said getting up.

"for?"

"maiya?" i say.

"ohhh right right shoot i forgot" bella said quickly getting up.

*an hour later*

"dad can i hold him" bella whispers to me as the others were congratulating maiya and marco.

"bellas he's only one day old, he's too light"

"your right i don't trust myself" bella says as i chuckle and go back to the conversation i had with kairi.

"so your finally an actual real uncle ha?" i said as he laughed.

BELLAS POV:

as dad was making small talk with uncle kai i went and asked one of the nurses who was cleaning up the place where the bathroom was.

"down this hallway to the left"

walking down the hallway i regretted my decision of walking alone as i heard footsteps around me.

"bella?" i heard someone say, i was wishing it was dad but not dad at the same time.

first i'm safe, second he'll get mad i walked alone.

i turned around to see...
