Many times, you felt like you didn't belong. Like the small moments where people mocked you, the distant times you felt with your own family, and the sad and daunting moments where you were pulled towards a group, and then left to sit alone or stand in your own thoughts as people proceeded to ignore you. It was a hassle to understand why, but you eventually gave up, nothing quite quenching your thirst for the reasons why people seemed to hate you. You are used to it now.

But then you met Medora. She was the eldest daughter of the Mafia bosses Marcos and Evangeline Vexen. She had 4 siblings, including Nicolas, the oldest middle child, Ivan, the middle child, Zuria, the youngest middle child, and Rowan, the youngest. That didn't matter, though. Medora was everything to you. She sought adventure, and she always defied the rules like the world was just a big chess game, and she found loop holes around every corner, and every excuse to protect you from the demons that seemed to haunt your very existence.

You eventually started dating. She was the one to ask you, since you were too shy and guilt ridden to do so yourself. When you stammered and apologetically said yes, she laughed and hugged you tight. She always saw your flustered moments as endearing and adorable.

And as the story goes, your parents and her parents found out. Your parents accepted, which was a huge surprise to you. Now, you just need to see if her parents and family accept you as a couple.

You both stood at the door, dressed neatly for the family dinner Medora convinced her parents to invite you to.
