Astrid has never stepped out her house. She didn't know that her parents hitting her wasn't right. She always thought that's how it works. So what happens when her mother dies and step father runs away.

We're going to have dinner with the DiCosta family tonight. So I asked Adonis how to get ready which led to my current dilemma.
Adonis had suggested a few ideas like massage, bubble bath etc. to pamper myself. But I rejected the idea of having a massage because I don't want someone to touch me. Now he's drawing me a bubble bath and said that someone will be here to give me a facial and mani-pedi.
After Adonis drew the bath and left I sat in there for more than an hour. It felt really nice to be surrounded by scented candles and sit in a bubbly bathtub.
After I got out I was informed that the mani-pedi people, I don't know what they're called, were here.
After getting my facial and nails done I went to put on my dress.

I want to curl my ends but I don't know how. So I went looking for Adonis because he seems to be the one that knows everything about being pretty.
I knocked at his door and the opened almost immediately. But he was talking to someone on the phone so I shook my head at him and turned to leave. "No baby wait," I heard him call after me.
I turned to see him putting his phone on the bed. "Did you need something love? And you look really pretty."
"I-" I shouldn't have come here, he's going to think I'm stupid.
"You can tell me anything, my love," Adonis gave me that soothing smile which never failed to ease my nerves.
"I want to curl my hair but I don't know how to do that."
Adonis put his arms around my shoulder, "alright I don't know how to do that either but let's go try it."
______________________________________
It's been thirty minutes since we've started curling my hair but it's nowhere near done.
"This is impossible," Adonis sighed.
"It's ok, you don't need to do this," I said feeling guilty. He's not even ready yet because he's helping me.
A knock sounded and Daemon came in. He looked around raising his eyebrow. "What's going on here and why are you not dressed yet?"
"It's ok, I don't have to curl my hair," I hurriedly added as to not pressure my brothers. They've been so good to me, I don't want to force them to waste their time on something as trivial as my hair.
"No," Daemon said turning to Adonis, "I'll help you with your hair while you go get ready."
Daemon did my hair in less than fifteen minutes.
"Don't tell anyone but after we got to know that you're going to be a girl, I learned hair dressing."
I was once again amazed by how much these people loved me. Even after being here for more than two months I still couldn't believe that these amazing people actually love me. But Mathew's meds and talks are helping. Whenever I doubt myself I remember how Mathew keeps telling me that what I went through was wrong, how Daemon never fails to remind me that he loves me, how the twins always keep me company when I'm feeling down or how Adonis literally took so many days off just to be with me or how papa and Adrian suck at expressing themselves but they're there for me.
"Thank you." For everything. These mere words can never express my gratitude.
"You don't have to thank me for anything darling. You're my sister. It's my job to do your hair or pretty much anything," Daemon said cradling my face in his big hands and softly placing a kiss on my forehead. "Let's go now or we'll be late."
I walked down the stairs holding Daemon's arm as this is my first time walking in heels.
As we entered the living room where everyone was gathered they all looked at us.
"You look beautiful, love." Papa said kissing my cheek.
"Yeah, you look hot," Anubis winked.
"Anubis," Adonis snapped before turning to me, "Astrid, you look like an angel."
"You look lovely." Soren.
"Cute." Adrian.
Their words made me feel beautiful. I was so unsure about this dress because it showed my scars. Even though I wear short dresses or stuff that show my scars at home I wasn't sure how I felt about going out like this. But these words made me feel like a princess. Like someone who's actually beautiful.
"Thank you."
"Alright lets get moving," Daemon ordered looking at his watch. "I'll take Alora, you people see for yourselves."
With that said Daemon gently guided me to the garage and towards a matte black car. It's so pretty.
He opened the door for me before going to the other side. "Would you like to play some music?"
"I don't know much music," I mumbled shyly.
"I'll play something and you tell me if you like it or not," Daemon suggested to which I agreed.
He played a couple of songs by different artists. They're all nice but I've found that I don't like any of them. I can tell they're all great but for some reason I can't bring myself to enjoy it.
"You don't like any if these? I thought teenagers these days liked these," Daemon asked in confusion.
"I don't think I like music," I replied. "It that okay?"
He looked at me with a smile. "That's completely ok, love. There are many people in the world that don't like music. They can tell it's nice but they don't enjoy it. It's alright."
I nodded feeling better now that I know I'm not the only one.
After a while we stopped in front of a cosy looking flower shop. Daemon went into the shop after instructing me to wait in the car.
He came back a few moments later with one hand behind his back while opening my door with another and gesturing me to get out.
After getting out of the car I was presented with a huge bouquet of small flowers I don't know the name of.

"I had decided the day you were born that I'll give you flowers every single day for the rest of my life because the first time I held you I felt as if I'm holding this delicate little flower," Daemon said handing me the flowers. "And I did, I used to bring you flowers every day for the next three years but then you were taken away from us. And then when we found you I wanted to shower you with flowers but I thought maybe I should wait for you to get comfortable."
Daemon blushed and scratched his neck after his heartwarming speech. He's so cute.
"Thank you so much, I love these. What flowers are they?" I said hugging him.
"Baby's breath. I got the purple ones because they represent beauty and you're gorgeous."
"Thank you," I mumbled into his chest. Then suddenly taking both if us by surprise I kissed his nose like he always kisses mine. I was so surprised after that, that I again hid myself in his chest which vibrated as he chuckled.
