Emma was alone in her living room, doing some assignments. It was the weekend and Cole went out of town with his friends, leaving her all alone since Ariana was also away for the weekend. She left the pen and rested her back against the back of the couch. She looked around the apartment and suddenly started to feel that the place was too big for her. Emma kicked Mila out three days ago and ever since that she had been thinking about her decision. Was it the right one? Did Mila really steal the earrings? But they have been friends for a long time and Mila had never taken anything from her; in fact, Mila was the one who would find Emma's missing things. What if Mila was right and that was all a setup? Was she willing to forgive her? But then, she remembered what Mila told her "when they ruin you, I won't be there to pick up your broken pieces."
Those words kept ringing in her ears and she could not get them out of her head. Was Mila serious about that? She would not be there t
"Mum, we've been in the car for over an hour. Come on, let's knock on his door," Emma encouraged her mum. Emma and her mother have been sitting in front of Ethan's house for so long since Caroline was scared of seeing her son after five years. She was scared that he might end up rejecting her."What if he turned me down?" Caroline sighed, looking at her daughter."That's just an assumption, you can never be sure if you haven't tried," Emma told her. "Let's go, mum. We have to take this step sooner or later."Caroline took a deep breath before nodding her head and stepping out of the car. The two of them walked towards the front door of Ethan's house and Emma could tell how nervous her mother was. Deep down, Emma knew Ethan would never turn them down. Something inside of her assured her that he would welcome them.As they reached the front door, Emma rang the doorbell and waited for somebody to open the door for them. After a few moments, a blonde woman wh
In life, we are going to encounter different obstacles, some of them will be normal, they will pass by one day and we will most probably end up forgetting about them. However, some of them will break us, but we always have the choice to get up from our fall and fix ourselves; we always have the choice to be stronger and to face the storm with a brave heart. We always have the choice to either be fighters or to be victims.We are going to meet different people, some of them will be amazing and others will be nothing but snakes or maybe chameleons because they always change their skin and their colours. Meeting bad people is just as important as meeting the good ones because we will never know the worth of those who truly love us unless we meet the fake ones, the ones who will end up breaking us and tearing our hearts apart.We will make mistakes, we will all do. We are not angels to be perfect all the time. We are humans and humans make mistakes, but what is important i
I was sitting in the café near the campus waiting for Aaron to arrive. We were supposed to have lunch together. Aaron met my mum a week after she settled in Seattle and I could tell that she liked him, which was something I was grateful for. She bought herself a flat close to the one I shared with Mila and she let me decorate it. I remember how surprised he was when I told him that my mum was finally back in my life and how happy he was for me; however, I could see the worried look in his eyes and when I confronted him, he admitted that he was worried that she might fail me again and he did not want me to get heart-broken for the second time by the same person.He was so considerate and loving; he treated me like a queen. Each day, I fell in love more with him. He never failed to amaze me and he made my heart flutter each time I saw him. Believe it or not, I still get butterflies in my stomach every time I see him."Hey, baby." I heard his soft voice and I felt
Emma was sitting in the living room, doing some of her assignments while Mila was studying on the kitchen counter. They both loved their majors so much which was a motivation for them to work harder. While Emma was studying, her phone started ringing beside her, pulling her out of her concentration. She frowned when she saw the name on her phone and looked in Mila's direction."Mila... it's my mum," Emma said in a quiet voice, but it was enough to get Mila's attention who looked at her with pure astonishment in her eyes."Answer her," Mila told her. Emma's phone stopped ringing as she held it in her hands. She was torn and did not know what to do.Emma kept wondering what her mother wanted from her after disowning her. Soon, her phone started ringing again and she did nothing but stare at it for a few moments before finally deciding to answer her."Hello Mrs. Adams," Emma spoke coldly, trying to match the level of their coldness on the day they decided th
After too many hardships, Emma finally believed that the rainbow did appear after the rain. Her life was finally getting better, she knew what true happiness tasted like and she was in love with every single detail of it.Emma's relationship with Mila was stronger than ever; something she has wished for ever since her life turned upside down. She finally managed to get over her fear of Cole and she even managed to forgive herself for everything that happened. She no longer felt guilty whenever she looked at Mila. She no longer thought so low of herself whenever she remembered everything she had done to Mila. She was well aware that everything she had done was a mistake, but she was finally convinced that she should not spend the rest of her life beating herself up.Blake knew how much Emma liked decorating and how good she was at it, so when his mum mentioned that she wanted to redecorate her office, he suggested that she should hire Emma to do it. When Emma was offere
Three days later, Mila was finally discharged from the hospital; something she was thankful for. However, what she was not thankful for was the lack of Emma's presence. She did not come to visit her or even call her. It was like she was mad at Mila, but Mila did not do anything... she only lied to her for her own sake. She did not want her to suffer, was that a wrong thing to do?Mila walked inside the apartment as Blake helped her to walk since it was not an easy task due to her wounds. She did her best to convince her parents to leave and luckily they agreed after a lot of unsuccessful attempts, both of them had their jobs and she thought that they should not stop their life because of her, so they booked tonight's flight. Julie and the others convinced them that they would take good care of Mila and she told them that she would Skype them every night to assure them that she was okay.When Mila walked inside, she saw Emma sitting on the couch. She was looking at the
