2. e4
Thought e4 would lead to cxd4 Qxd4 which puts my queen prone to be attacked

 
2... Nc6 3. Nf3 e6 4. Nc3 d5
Seems to be a mistake Lets my knight take a central position.. And keep it a bit

 
5. cxd5 exd5 6. Nxd5 Nf6 7. Bc4
Trying tto get my pieces out and all conform around a certain point

 
7... Be6 8. Qb3 Qc8
The b7 pawn already vreates problems B6 looks better though

9. d3
Open bishop for f4 and attack c7 to backup my knight if it were to get there

 
9... Be7
Expected Bd6, preventing my bishop from f4

 
10. Bf4 Bxd5
Sees the threat

 
11. exd5
Attacks knight Bxd5 is bad I would just lose my bishop for a knight that does no threat

 
11... Nd8
Kna5 is bad because Qb5+

 
12. Bb5+
If Kf8 then d6 getting a bishop

 
12... Nd7 13. Ne5
