Chapter 1: I Promise

                  Author's P.O.V

Tilly finally stepped out of the house with Juliet to meet Juan Pablo.

She had liked him since he saved her life 5 years ago.

It took him a long time to earn her trust and his family has been very helpful to her by adopting her and giving her an identity.

With the help of Juan Pablo she could open up to the family but she still had the same nightmare over and over again.

She sat at the front seat staring through the window but her mind was far from there.

"Tilly.... Tilly.... Tilly" Juliet called bringing her back to reality.

"We're here " she added.

There Tilly looked out the window to see that they had stopped Infront of a building

It's been three years since she last saw him and now she was quite nervous

"What if he doesn't recognize me? What if he hates me? What if ? ...What if ?"she kept thinking as she stood Infront waiting for Juliet

"Come let's go in"Juliet said getting her attention. They both went in and asked of his room number from the receptionist who after confirming with him told them.

Tilly stood Infront of his door nervously as Juliet rang the bell.

"I'm coming" they heard his voice on the  other side and it made Tilly's heart skip a beat.

It was just as she remembered.

"Hey there cara mia, I missed you so much"he said bear hugging her as he opened the door. She just couldn't help but blush.

"Come we have a lot of catching up to do" he said ushering her inside

"Hey, lovebirds don't forget me " Juliet said and they all laughed .

After chatting for a while about general things, they decided to talk about her health.

"Still having the same nightmare again?" Juan Pablo asked as he studied her

"Yes and it gets worst every time" she

replied looking anywhere but him

"It okay but I think it's time to face the fear cos that's the only way you'll recover"he said and this time she looked at him with her eyebrows raised.

"You're now 23 which means you can still go to college for a year so you're going to college"he said and she looked at him with a shocked expression.

"What! But I....I ..... I...." She tried to speak but no words came out.

"Look cara" Juan said holding her hands. "I know you're scared but this is the only way to get over your fear, you have to relate with people especially guys"

"But I can't what if... what if....."

"Nothing will happen to you. I'll always be there for you. Now you must promise me"he said squeezing her hand gently

"Okay, I promise"
