MIRA "Dear diary, Ethan has been so close to me and I happens to like being friends with him even if I feel like Its more than that ,he is so handsome and calm and he is the definition of the kind of man that catch my attention,funny how I describe him to be perfect...unlike max the rude one who go around acting all bossy but actually he is nice too ,sometimes he can be stupid and other time he act like he doesn't care but then diary, explain how I feel sad anytime I see him around that girl ,I feel ripped apart is it jealousy? Cause if it was I feel so stupid though..."she looked up and sighed deeply before continuing with what she was doing "But it's cool I guess it's just childish and stupid besides Ethan got my back and my new friends do too...guess I didnt tell you about em they are cool and you should see how beautiful they look ,anyways thats all for today .....bye diary" she smiled as she closed hee book ans head upstairs to grab her backpack as she plan on going for a little picnic with her new friends. ********* As she walked down the street of crescent Ave she wondered if what she was doing was right , getting jealous over someone she barely knows or the fact that Ethan is her crush twin brother."was she being selfish "she taught Just as she was lost in her taught she heard someone call out to her "Mira !Mira!!" She recognized that voice it was Sofia ,she was calling out to her while Rachel stood there blocking her ear as she screamed her name . "Hey Sofia ,hey Rachel "Mira said while hugging them both ,she was glad she was friends with them ,at least she never had one "We taught you were gonna back out you know "sofia said opening her backpack and grabbing a mirror to look at her face "You must be kidding "Mira said and smirked "Wait..Mira what are you wearing "Sofia asked Mira looked at herself she knew something was off about them when they said they were going for a picnic . "Ummm...a nice dress for a picnic Hun"Mira replied smiling "Uh uh daddy girl ,we ..are not going for a picnic we are going to Max's party baby"Rachel said and dragged her inside her dad's car "who owns the car ?"Mira asked "My dad "Rachel replied "So what do I do I havent been to a party before "mira said disappointed,she really felt bad that they weren't going for the picnic but something tells her it was a good thing but she can't tell what. "Get in Sofia we need to doll her up "Rachel screamed at Sofia who was busy making herself up "Fine dumb ass " Sofia replied and got into the car. They drove off. ******* MIRA The music was loud ,I could see a lot of young girls and boy having quality time together,I knew I was not going to feel comfortable so I put my headphone on to keep me distracted. Sofia and Rachel were having a good time ,I guess they belonged here .I looked around to see if there was a place I could sit and watch but everywhere was crowded and any free spot you see is overtaken by two couples. "Damn" "Am sorry"i apologized "Watch where you are going ..clumsy"the girl I just stepped on said harshly and left my spot. I was trying to get past them when I mistakenly stepped on her.it wasn't that easy to avoid staring around seeing others have fun,all I could think of was pa,he had call earlier and asked me how I was and if I was coming back ,my answer was no,I told him I was having a sleepover at Sofia's ,yea I was but not yet. I was tired and made to leave at least wait for them in the car or something but then it started raining I was hoping the party would end but thats when the party got more interesting. They were happy I smiled and watched them as I made to find shelter. "Hey Mira"I heard a familiar voice It was Ethan "Hey Ethan ,how are you?"I askes shyly "Not dead "he replied smiling "I guess this is not your kind of thing"he added handing me a drink "I guess I will adapt "I replied with a smile after taking the drink from him "So...who you with?" He asked "Sofia and Rachel of course "she replied "They left you behind damsel"he said and we laughed over it Ethan was such a a sweet soul ,just a little talk and we were laughing,what a boy. "Should I drive you home ?" Ethan asked "No I will stay over at Rachel's"Mira replied smiling "That's fine "Ethan replied Mira watched others vibe under the rain and she started feeling cold ,she shivered,she knew she would fall sick if she didn't find a warm spot . Just as she was looking around Ethan came close to her and put his warm jacket over her shoulder. Mira smiled at him and he took her to shelter . "You ok ?" He asked "Yes "Mira replied "I will just grab us more drink "he said and left "Yea sure" Mira smiled at him .she watched him go and then turned only to see Max standing in front of her smiling "Hey damsel " max said coming close to her in a rather uncomfortable way "Keep your distance lover boy"Mira replied trying to move back until she felt her back on the wall Max put one hand over her head and bent towards her "You know I like girls with black hair and fair skin"he said while caressing her hair "Stop max " Mira said slowly as if feeling weak She knew the more he tried the more she felt attracted to him. "Max you have to stop "she tried pushing him away but he was strong ,stronger than her she gave up and he traced his hands from her thigh to her waist line Mira shivered and let out a low moan "Max.."she said in a whisper "Stop"she added Then Max bent ,his lips not too far away from hers ,he parted her lips with his thumb "Sexy pumpkin"he whispered "Stop!!" Ethan shouted and ran towards them he dragged Max away from her and gave him a hard punch "Not her Max not her "Ethan warned "Are you ok?"he asked Mira who stood there shaking "Yes Ethan I am "she hugged him ******* Ethan face beamed with smile She was actually hugging him and he liked it ,he hugged her too and she pulled away from him a bit,looked him in the eyes and hugged him again She couldn't explain the feeling she felt She felt safe with Ethan ,she felt happy But with max it was different more like burning desire She was happy Ethan showed up. "Let's go home "Ethan carried her on his arms and they headed for the car.Chapter 74: Ethan coming home didn’t feel real at first.The hospital discharge papers were signed, the doctor had given a long list of instructions, and Mr. Edward had insisted on driving slowly—as if even the road itself needed to be careful with his son.But the moment Ethan stepped into the house, everything shifted.It wasn’t the same as before.It was quieter.Softer.More… careful.Mrs. Edward had already prepared everything.Extra pillows. A comfortable spot on the couch. Medicine neatly arranged. Water within reach.“You’re not going upstairs,” she said firmly.Ethan gave a tired smile. “I figured.”Mr. Edward placed a steady hand on his shoulder. “You focus on healing. Nothing else.”Ethan nodded, though his eyes drifted briefly toward the door.Like he was expecting someone.He didn’t have to wait long.Later that afternoon—A knock.Mrs. Edward opened the door.And there she was.Mira.She stood there, slightly hesitant, her hands clasped together like she wasn’t sure if
Chapter 73: The hospital had a way of stretching time.Minutes didn’t feel like minutes. Hours didn’t feel real. Everything existed in a quiet, suspended space where hope and fear sat side by side, refusing to separate.Mira stood just outside the ward, her fingers curled tightly around the strap of her bag.She hadn’t moved much since they arrived.Even after the doctor had come out to say the surgery was over… that Ethan was stable… that he was alive—Alive.That word should have brought relief.And it did.But not enough.Because stable didn’t mean awake.And alive didn’t mean okay.Her chest still felt tight.Her heart still hadn’t slowed down.She swallowed hard and pushed the door open.The room was quiet.Too quiet.Ethan lay on the bed, still.Machines surrounded him, their soft beeping the only sign that time was still moving forward.For a second, Mira couldn’t take another step.This wasn’t how she had imagined seeing him.Not like this.Not quiet.Not motionless.Her eyes
Chapter 72: The afternoon sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the street as Ethan stepped out of the flower shop.He adjusted his grip on the bouquet, careful not to crush the delicate petals.They were her favorite.He had taken longer than expected choosing them—standing there, going back and forth between colors, asking the florist unnecessary questions, overthinking every little detail.Because it wasn’t just flowers.It was for Mira.And with everything she had been going through lately, he wanted it to be perfect.Ethan smiled to himself as he walked down the pavement.He could already picture her reaction.The way her eyes would soften.The way she’d pretend it wasn’t a big deal, even though it clearly meant something to her.He replayed their texts in his head.“Be careful.”He chuckled lightly under his breath.“I will,” he muttered, almost like he was answering her again.Cars passed by in a steady rhythm. The city felt alive but normal—nothing unusual, not
CHAPTER 71Morning came slowly for Mira.Not in the way mornings usually did—with sunlight stretching lazily across her room or birds chirping like nothing in the world had changed—but in a heavy, quiet way. The kind that pressed against her chest before her eyes even opened.She stared at the ceiling for a long time before moving.Her thoughts were tangled.The words from the night before echoed over and over again.She’s pregnant.Her dad’s voice had been proud. Miss Katie’s smile had been soft, almost nervous… hopeful.And Mira?Mira had smiled too.But it hadn’t reached her eyes.When she finally got out of bed, everything felt slightly off—as if she was walking through a version of her house that didn’t completely belong to her anymore.She pulled on a hoodie, not caring about how she looked, and stepped out of her room.Each step down the stairs felt heavier than the last.And then she saw her.Miss Katie sat on the couch, legs tucked neatly under her, a mug resting in her hands
Chapter 70 — The evening air felt soft as Mira and Lisa walked back home from the beach.Their slippers dragged lightly against the pavement, sand still clinging stubbornly to their ankles. Lisa looked… lighter. Not the forced lightness she used to wear like a mask—but something real this time.“So,” Mira nudged her playfully, “you and Max, huh?”Lisa’s cheeks flushed instantly. “Don’t start.”“I’m not starting anything,” Mira grinned. “I just want details.”Lisa laughed quietly, hugging herself. “He was… different. Not playful. Just real.”Mira nodded. “That’s Max when he actually cares.”Lisa glanced at her. “You think this can work?”“I think,” Mira said thoughtfully, “you just have to not mess it up this time.”Lisa winced slightly. “Fair.”They both laughed.For a moment, everything felt… normal again.The Living RoomAs they stepped into the house, laughter greeted them.Warm. Familiar. Unexpected.Mira paused.Her dad, Dennis, was sitting on the couch beside Katie, both of the
CHAPTER 69The days after the beach felt… different.Not dramatic. Not overwhelming.Just quietly new.Lisa woke up the next morning staring at her ceiling, replaying everything.Max’s voice.His careful words.The way he had paused before reaching for her hand.It hadn’t been rushed. It hadn’t been like before.It was real.And that terrified her just as much as it excited her.Downstairs, the house was already alive with soft morning noise. Plates clinked in the kitchen. Mira’s laughter drifted through the hallway.Lisa hesitated at the top of the stairs.Before, she would’ve run down, loud and carefree, demanding attention.Now… she took a breath and walked slowly.Mira spotted her first.“Well,” she said, grinning, leaning against the counter, “someone looks like they didn’t sleep.”Lisa rolled her eyes, but a smile tugged at her lips. “I slept.”“Barely,” Mira teased.Katie glanced between them knowingly. “Should I ask, or should I pretend I don’t already know?”Lisa groaned. “Pl
