Chapter 3

Hiii, how did you guys like the last chapter?
Feel free to comment any opinions :)

Isn't anyone trying to find me
Won't somebody come take me home?
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life

Coraline's POV

I was walking through the cold streets of the outskirts of Rome.
All I knew is that I had to hurry or else my father would freak out on me.
Right as I was about to open the door, it suddenly opened itself.
"There you are" my father yelled.
He was standing right in front of me, his face red with anger.

"I-" I could barely answer him when he threw a bag filled with my stuff in front of my feet.
"Leave" he said.
"Da-" I whispered.
"LEAVE" he started yelling again.
I felt tears brimming up in my eyes but I forced myself not to cry.
No, not right now. Not in front of him, I thought.

He slammed the door in front of me and there I was.
All alone in the streets of Rome.
I wanted to call Damiano but for some reason I couldn't bring myself to do so.
With tears slowly running down my face, I contemplated where to go.

Around two hours of strolling through the neighborhood, I saw a car pull up to a house I knew all too well.
It was Damiano coming home from Sofia's party.
I found myself slightly smiling as I watched him get out of the vehicle.

I slowly made my way over to his front door and knocked.
It took a few minutes for him to come and open the door but eventually he stood in front of me, only wearing a pair of sweatpants and his hair all messy.
"Oh, hey Cora. What are you doing here? And why are you carrying a bag with you?" he asked half asleep.
"I'll explain it later. Can I come in?" I asked in return and he nodded.

I entered the rather small house, took a seat on the sofa and placed my bag on the floor.
"So, what happened?" Damiano said as he took a seat next to me.
"It's a long story. After I left Sofia's party to go home, I found that the front door was locked. I was confused because I was sure I didn't lock it when I left but then my father stood in front of me all of a sudden. I was shocked but before I could say a lot, he gave me a bag with my stuff in it and pretty much kicked me out" I explained and he listened carefully.
"I'm really sorry that that happened, Cora. You're of course free to stay here however long you want" Damiano offered.
"Thanks" I said and we hugged.

We soon made our way into his bedroom.
"Good night" he said and left the room but I stopped him.
"Wait, where are you going?" I asked confused.
"I'll go and sleep on the couch" he replied and yawned.
"No, no i'm not going to let you sleep on the couch in your own house. If anything, I will" I told Damiano and walked towards him.
"Well we could both sleep in the bed if that's okay with you?" Damiano then responded and I gave him an approving nod.
We both got ready and went to bed.
