So, it's been 48 years since I first ever met and laid my eyes on my husband, Luciano Martini. A lot happened. It was the craziest love story I've ever experienced. There was pain. There was betrayal. There was love, passion and romance. We both made it into the glorious sixties and Adrianna...our daughter she's all grown up now. She's doing well in life, got herself a nice husband who loves her so much. They've got two adorable kids and me and Luciano have watched them grow too. I'm glad everything worked out. I'm glad I hoped on that plane. Now, I keep saying things such as 'there was' and talking in past tense...I owe an explanation for that. Well, I am dying. Years ago, I got a terminal illness that I'd managed to fight off for a while that is until now. I have less than an hour left to my life. An hour before I pass away and leave the precious life of Gabriella Martini goodbye. I'll never forget my first kiss. One of the popular boys in middle school, Brian. We were playing spin
So, dear reader, I bet you must be wondering what happened after I married my Luciano. Well good news, we didn't end up divorced like my parents and I didn't leave him like his mother did. We're happy, in love. 48 years or 17,520 days or 575 months. All which has been pretty darn amazing. The younger us truly lived. He took me all over the world and because he knows how I'm in love with art I am he made sure to get me every peice I'd practically laid my eyes on that's how sweet and generous he is. I'll always choose him. He treats me like I'm practically a princess and I know that this story is practically like a fairy tale. He makes my life all seem like a fairy tale...Adrianna, Adrianna our beautiful daughter. Her dad has most certainly made up for all of the moments he's missed. If I do regret anything it's that. It's keeping them away from each other without trying or attempting to reach out to him I so badly regret that. But, what's done is done and now we can focus on the prese
Moving to this city was the dumbest decision ever right? I'm Gabriella Rosa, freshly entering university in a new city where I know absolutely no one. I’m taking in a new start because I've just recently gotten myself out of a super trashy place that many call 'high school'. I so would not recommend. And after high school why don’t you take a quick guess on what I choose to do? I made a rash choice to move away to the big city and apply to a bunch of universities hoping I'd get in because why not? I need, craved a new experience. I could not stay at that horrible place any longer because I knew that I would not be able to get the old memories out of my mind. I rarely actually had a lot of friends, I’ve always been pretty to myself but I had 1 friend and about a few weeks before graduation what does she do? She ditches me to become 'popular'. Good for her. Truly. A little warning saying 'oh by the way cancel all of our plans together because I don't need you’ would have been real nice.
Moving to this city was the dumbest decision ever right? I'm Gabriella Rosa, freshly entering university in a new city where I know absolutely no one. I've just gotten out of a trashy place called 'high school' and after I did that guess what else I decided to do?

I could not stay at that horrible place any longer because I knew that I would not be able to get the old memories out of my mind.

A little warning saying 'oh by the way cancel all of our plans together because I don't need you would have been real nice'. Sadly though, everyone knows that life fails to come along with warning signs. Sadly. But oh if only this gabriella rosa knew how her life was about to completely change... - - - - - - - - 1 Y
Amara what a pretty name I thought to myself. I know to be just a touch bit more cautious because of high school but this, Gabriella is not high school. This Gabriella is college and there is no need to think everyone is the same. What good would that do? To let the last bit of judginess out of me, I have to point out how strangely and also creepily similar she looks to Luciano. Ugh Gabriella don't hate. She's very pretty, with her curly brown hair that bounces when she moves, as well as her dazzling emerald eyes, Luciano was most definitely benefited in the looks department so really it was a compliment though I'd never say that to him because he'd get far too comfortable with himself. I however did not want to be reminded of me and Luciano's earlier and awkward interaction."Hi I'm Gabriella, I love your name by the way." I replied with a smile."Thank you so much you are very sweet Gabriella! You've got a really pretty name. " I looked down to see her five suitcases, yes five suitca
She turned herself to look at me and started to speak, "Look Gabriella, now I can explain, usually, I wouldn't really hide who my brother is or my last name because you know it's my family and what not but you have to understand me in this situation, in the past I've been used a lot because of my family and our status so I was like since she can't recognise me I'll just adjust myself a bit and I am sorry. I was just tired of it. Please don’t let my dumb little lie ruin our friendship? I’m a very good person I swear! I'm telling you this now, some girl tried to one time date that idiot by being my friend it sucked knowing that she was only friends to use me.”"Well, I just cannot believe it! You hid me? From this gorgeous Gabriella? THEN you call me an idiot, that's low, like lower than low Amara, and you were my favourite sibling too, I would never do that to you. Never ever." Luciano began speaking."Oh yeah but you’d shout your head off at me for a decision dad practically forced on
Amara had come back to our room and slammed the door shut, I'd noticed that her brother did not come back inside with her this time and she looked even more upset than she was when she left. And obviously I blame Luciano for that, I wonder what dumb thing he could've said to her. "Are you ok?" I said as she fell back onto her bed."No but you know how siblings are, they create nothing but issues." I wouldn't know because I didn't have any but sure, siblings. She turned to look at me with beaming eyes, "You know what always makes me feel better though? Shopping. Come on let's go out." A smile fell on her lips as she sat back up turning to me with pleading eyes. “Pretty please with a very cute cherry on top?” Wow with a cherry on top how could I possibly ever say no to that?"Now I want so badly to say yes and go shopping but the thing is I’m like dead broke right now, like you my friend have so much money it'd take you years to count and for me? It'd take 2 minutes mostly just because
The way this stupid thirsty guy was acting right now was the least of my issues. As much as I tried ignoring it, all of a sudden I could feel without seeing the eyes of some girls darting and burning right through my skin. Just great. When all those people say, 'be yourself' that message does not at all apply to Luciano, it is the 1 thing he should not be."We're not dating by the way!!" I let out trying to attempt throwing water on the burning fire Luciano had created in a span of mere seconds. I really hoped that that would get them to stop with the bitchy eyes and it did for the most part but then Luciano had to once again open his mouth. What did I expect."Not yet at least...but ladies and gentlemen, 7 minutes in heaven over there by the table, come on and you too Gabriella." He jumped off the table with that all knowing smirk plastered across his face which I wanted to wipe off. The music had come back on but now most people were following Luciano to the table. He however started
