Mila and Emma walked inside the apartment complex. Mila was still surprised by Emma's outburst, but she was proud of her best friend for standing up for herself. Emma was a bit shocked of her reaction, but she has had enough of her parents' control and she wanted nothing but to free herself from their prison.
"Are you okay?" Mila asked her as they stood in front of the apartment’s door.
"Yeah." Emma smiled at Mila.
Mila opened the door and the two of them walked inside. Emma's eyes lit up immediately once she saw the nice gesture the girls did for her. In front of her, there were some letters hung on the wall that spelled "welcome home Emma". She saw Leila, Julie, and Blake sitting on the couch; of course, Hannah was nowhere to be seen.
"I knew nothing about this," Mila told her as they walked towards the living room.
Julie and Leila hugged Emma while Blake hugged his girl. Mila smiled and gave him a quick peck on the lips. Whenever Emma was

It had been ten days since Emma moved in with Mila and the other girls. Everything has been going well for her and she has even changed her major. Luckily, she was just one semester behind and she decided to take an extra subject each semester so she would graduate at the same time she was supposed to graduate at.Emma walked inside Mila and Hannah's room and saw Hannah sitting on her bed. She wanted to get her bag, so she could leave for work. Hannah eyed Emma when she saw her then rolled her eyes. Emma knew that Hannah hated her presence and if she could, she would have kicked her out the second she stepped a foot in the apartment. Not once has she ever said a nice word to her and her mean looks were enough to make Emma shrink in her place."I... I will just get s-something and get out," Emma said in a quiet voice and went to get her bag that was on the floor. With the help of her friends, Emma was able to almost defeat her stutter as they kept practising with her ev

I was furious, I attempted to do my best to control my anger, but that was probably an impossible idea. I would not say that I was in disbelief that Hannah did something like that. Actually, my mind assumed the thought that has just turned into reality; my mind awaited for something like that to happen from Hannah, but my heart refused to give in to those toxic thoughts, neglecting all the signs that I witnessed during the past few days, thinking that my mind just loved taking me to dark places."Care to explain what has just happened?" I approached her. She looked quite nervous, probably realising the mess she had made a while ago and the consequences that were about to take place."I didn't mean to go this far," she whispered, looking down. Usually, I would not go hard on someone who felt guilty about something wrong they have done, but Hannah crossed the line."Really!? As if it was going to be all good if she did not have a breakdown!" I snapped at her. This

My mind kept thinking about every single word Hannah said to me. Each word killed me and wounded my already broken heart. She had no mercy on me, she hated my entire existence. I bet she would end up dancing on my grave if I died. Mila did not hate me after what I have done to her, yet Hannah loathed me.Cole was my ultimate fear, Ariana invaded my thoughts and made me lose my confidence and Hannah officially joined the 'monsters club’ that set their main goal to make my life hard.I hated my weakness, I hated how I was so dependent on Mila. The girl has never complained and she was always there for me, she even forgave me after I messed up everything; I still could not believe how I accused her of stealing and how I treated her in front of them...did she really love me that much to put all of that behind her and become my best friend again? Even if she did not complain, I did not like how she always felt the need to protect me. I needed to learn how to protect m

"I love it!" Emma beamed as she looked around the apartment. Mila called her and told her that she found a very good apartment for a reasonable price so the two girls went to check it together.The apartment was really cozy and warm and they both seemed to love it. The entrance of the kitchen was on the right once you open the front door while its counter faced the living room and it had three kitchen chairs. The living room was in front of the kitchen. Its size was good, enough to fit a small dining table on the far left and a dark blue L-shaped couch with a coffee table in the middle while the TV was against the wall with a short long black table beneath it. On passing the kitchen, there was a hall. The first door on the right was for the laundry room, then there was the door of one of the bedrooms and the other one was right across it. The two bedrooms had bathrooms, but one of them was connected to the main bathroom of the apartment."Should we sign the contract?"

Mila was in the living room, working on a project she needed to finish. When she heard the door being unlocked, she looked up and was in complete surprise when she saw Hannah walking in with Emma. It was something she never expected."Hi," Mila said, looking at the two girls with confusion written all over her face."Hey..." Hannah said, nervously. She did not know how Mila was going to react on seeing her in her apartment."Hi! Hannah and I made up!" Emma said cheerfully, earning a surprised look from Mila."Oh... that's great! When did that happen?" Mila asked as she got up from her place on the couch and walked over to them."Less than an hour ago," Emma answered with a smile on her face."Can you please not be mad at me anymore?" Hannah looked at Mila.Mila approached her and hugged her tightly. "I miss you so much...I'm so sorry for being too harsh on you," Mila apologized, causing happiness to spread through Hannah's veins again

Christmas and New Year were amazing. I had a great time with Emma and my parents and of course, Blake. Sadly, Hannah, Julie, and Leila were not in Seattle to spend some time with me and my family, but I was happy that they enjoyed their time in their hometowns; we shared lots of pictures on our group chat on WhatsApp.Luckily, Blake was already from Seattle which made it easy for me to spend some time with him. I invited him and his mum for dinner on December 26th and everything was perfect. My parents and his mum bonded really well which was something that made us happy.My mum loved how his mum treated me; Angela treated me like I was her own daughter and I truly loved her. Even my dad liked Blake a lot and they talked more during this vacation.I received many gifts this Christmas and I was in love with all of them. Blake got me a pair of silver earrings from Pandora that I liked a lot, but what I loved more was the handmade album that had many pictures of us

"Blake, it's getting so late... Mila hasn't come home yet and she is not answering her phone, please tell me she's at your place." I bit my nails nervously as I talked to Blake on the phone. It was already midnight and Mila was nowhere to be found. I was close to losing my mind."What do you mean she's not home? I only saw her this morning, but nothing after that," Blake spoke, worry was obvious in his voice."I don't know! She told me she needed to buy a few things and left, but that was around eight and now it's midnight!" I told him nervously. What was I supposed to do? Should I go search for her?I looked at my phone and saw an unknown number calling me. "Blake, stay on the line, there's an unknown number calling me," I said anxiously and answered. "Hello.""Is this Emma Adams?" I heard a woman's voice, speaking to me professionally which increased my worry. Why would anybody call me at this hour unless it was an emergency?"Mila Montgomery has

Once Emma passed out, Aaron quickly carried her small body between his muscular arms and laid her carefully on the hospital seats. A nurse saw what happened so she asked Aaron to take her to the emergency room. Aaron picked her up again without any struggle and rushed to the emergency room. She weighed less than the weight he practised with at the gym. He held her protectively like he was holding his whole world between his arms."She passed out, she received bad news and passed out," he told the nurse who helped him lay Emma on the hospital bed."Don't worry, she's going to be okay," the nurse assured him upon seeing how anxious he looked.After thirty minutes, Emma woke up. Aaron did not leave her side, he was really worried about her even after he was assured by the doctor and the nurse that she was doing fine. After the nurse fixed the IV in her hand, he held her pale hand gently in his. He hated seeing the girl he loved in that place. He loved seeing her be
