"Hey, you're back. " Emerson is sitting on my bed when I walk inside and I close the door behind me before I turn to quirk a brow at him. "How did you get in here?"
"It was open. " He responds as he gets off the bed and stalks towards me. He stops only a few steps from me before he opens his mouth again, "I missed you at school. "
"Uh?"
"Campus. I didn't notice you left. " He explains as I kick my shoes off my feet to slip into my slippers. "Why? We don't interact at school. "
"I know that Carson, " he sighs when I lift my head to him, and then he opens his arms. I watch as he waits for me to get into his arms, before I drop my bag and move into his embrace. "Things change. "He whispers as he clamps a hand to my head.
"They do, " I agree as I press the side of my face to his chest, breathing in his smell.

EVA."I told you not to drop me here. " I hiss at Emerson as I unfasten my seatbelt before I turn to grab my bag from the backseat."And who are you trying to hide from?" He queries when I move back to my seat."I'm not hiding. It just feels... Weird?" I tell him as I duck my head from his gaze and Emerson drops his hand to my chin, tipping my head to meet his eyes. "Then you should get real with it because this isn't a one-time thing. ""It is. You won't be taking me tomorrow. I don't care what you use. ""Is that a challenge?"

EVA."I think I might have a problem, " Aliya complains as she drops to the seat in front of me and I shut my laptop to focus my gaze on her. "What's it?""I might have or might have not told Sage that I'm getting tired of our relationship. " She says as she drops her bag to the side before tilting forward and I furrow a brow, "What? What does that mean?""I don't know, " she sighs. "I don't know what's wrong with me. ""Is that how you feel?" I ask her and she nods. "It suddenly feels too much; like I'm being boxed in or something and I hate that feeling. ""What was her reaction when you told her?""She walked out on me.

EMERSON. "Eva!" I call, attempting to rush after her as I watch her walk through the door, but a sudden grip on my wrist stops me and I turn around to see Paige; irritation flowing through me at the sight of her and the shit she just pulled. "Emerson—" she starts with a shaking voice, and I jerk her hold from my wrist, glaring at her as I speak, "What the fuck is wrong with you? Why the fuck did you do that?" "I–" she starts with a hiccup. "I'm sorry. I just– I didn't know what to do. I was there and you were here, and I needed you. I needed you to–" "You needed me and I was fucking here! I was here, Paige. I was doing all I could to be the comfort you needed and you thought it was okay to cross the line?" I raise a brow, my breath coming out in heavy pants and she shakes her head as she attempts to step closer, but one glare from me to her leg movement stops it. She swallows before she opens her mouth, "It wasn't enough, Emerson. It was never going to be enough. I needed more.

EMERSON.I'm quick to raise my head from the steering wheel at the vibration of my phone, and I move over the divider to grab it; the previous disappointment washing through me when I see it's a text from Hanna, and not who I expected."Where are you, Eva? Please, don't do this to me. " I mumble under my breath as I scroll to the last text I sent her. Delivered, but left unread.DIVA: You're making me fucking worried about you.

PAIGE. Blondie's eyes go wide after my palm makes contact with her cheek, not exactly feeling the pleasure I hoped it would bring. "What the fuck did you just do?" She let out as the books drop to her feet and I say, "I smacked you and trust me, I want to do so much more. " "Bitch, who the fuck do you think you are?" She snaps as she lunges towards me and grabs me by the arm. She pushes me till my back is to the wall and before she can lift her hand, I say, "Emerson told me to disappear out of his life. " The motion of her hand stills but she stays rooted to the spot. "Look here. I know what you think of me. I'm the one who's trying to take someone who isn't mine, " I let out and Eva loosens her hold on me, taking a step back. I heave a sigh before I continue, "It's not what you think and I'm not here for what you think I'm here for. Emerson and I... We share a bond. To me at least, we do. He was there when I needed someone; he was always there. " "He was there for you as a g
