Mia nodded sheepishly, inching away from me as if she were anticipating my reaction. "I guess so. I just didn’t want you to be caught off guard," she admitted.

I sighed, rubbing my temples to ease the tension building within me. "Mia, you’re my best friend, but sometimes your antics drive me crazy. Can’t you just let me deal with my own problems for once?"

As my words hung in the air, Mia’s expression fell, hurt evident on her face. "I was just trying to help, Alex. I didn’t mean to stress you out," she replied softly.

Feeling guilty, I got up and wrapped her in a hug. "I know, Mia. And I appreciate it. It's just... this thing with Mr. Gregory has me really spooked. I don’t know what he wants, but I have a bad feeling about it."

Mia’s expression turned serious as she nodded in suppor

    “Enmeshment”“That is what Mia has “he says calmly, his eyes bored into mine .“What is that “Ryan's expression was serious. "What I am about to explain to you. Is Something that might help you understand what's going on with Mia,so you can understand her reasons for do what she did “I nodded, intrigued. “So explain it to me “Ryan took a deep breath. “Enmeshment. It's a psychological concept that describes a situation where two or more people become overly involved in each other's lives. They lose their sense of identity and autonomy, and their boundaries become blurred."I frowned, trying to understand. "What do you mean?"Ryan's eyes locked onto mine. "In the case of you and Mia, it means that Mia has become so close that she is no longer sure where one of you ends and the other begins. You're like two threads that have become tangled together."I felt a pang of guilt, is that how she has been feeling all this while .Ryan's expression was gentle. "Enmeshment can be unhealthy,

    Security guards rushed towards the scene, trying to break up the fight between Anastasia and I. Ryan quickly grabbed my hand and Mia's hand ,dragging us away from the commotion and Anastasia screaming about her broken nose and hair loss courtesy of me . "Come on, let's get out of here," he says ,his voice firm but calm. We follow him to a quiet alleyway behind the club, where we collapse against the wall, panting. Mia looked up at Ryan, a mischievous glint in her eye. "Thanks for saving us, Ryan. I owe you one “ Ryan smiles, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "No problem, Mia. But maybe next time, you can avoid getting into fights, huh?" Mia grinned. "No promises." “At least my plan was working great till David showed up “Mia says, kicking a can in anger . Ryan's eyes flicked to me, and I felt a surge of embarrassment. “What plan?" I repeat my question when Mia is still and nobody answers me , my voice sharp. "What plan,What do you mean?" “Umm,I…I…”Mia stammers out of control w

I return the glare hoping she gets the message that she doesn't scare me , she always tried to intimidate me before and I admit it sometimes worked but not anymore. “The only bitch I see here is you , Anastasia” I retorted to which Mia shouts oh snap dramatically making Anastasia scoff . “Wow I always knew you both were losers but please don't show it to the rest “she says with a dismissive hair flip .

    I hesitated, unsure of what to say. A part of me wanted to forget about David and move on, but another part of me wanted closure, wanted to know why he had hurt me so badly.Ryan's expression turned serious. "Lexi, I don't think that's a good idea. He's not good for you."I felt a surge of defensiveness. "You don't even know him," I say, which makes Ryan give me a weird look ,probably because of my weird outburst .Ryan took a step closer to me. "I don't need to know him to see the way he's affecting you. You deserve better than someone who's going to hurt you like that."I looked up at him, feeling a little bit between the lines of fuzzy and uncomfortable. Why was he being so protective of me?But before I could ask him, I saw David waiting for me by the corner of the club, his eyes fixed on me.I took a deep breath, feeling a sense of determination wash over me. "I need to go talk to him, just for some closure ," I said, my voice firm.Ryan's eyes narrowed. "Lexi, don't-"But I was
