" Relax Hayes, you've got me and the nanny to take care of her. She would be fine, go have fun." Mimi said to her son. Mila had stopped by a couple of days to invite him for a surprise party they were throwing for her brothers who had just completed college. He had agreed to the offer to attend the party but now that the day had come, he was reluctant to leave Maryse with his mom and nanny alone. What if something bad happened? he couldn't help but worry. " Hayes got out and have fun it's been a while since you did. Don't be a boring dad. Maryse would be fine with us." his nanny added. To feel much better, he had called in a favor from one of his dad's bodyguards to keep an eye on his nanny and mom while he was away. Fred was the son of one of his father's bodyguards. When Fred's father died, his dad hired Fred to take the place of his dad because of how loyal and good the man was. Fred and Hayes had been good friends since infancy, he had his back since day one, and he was the only

Mila and Raine entered the school and noticed people murmuring and pointing at them. What had happened? “ There you are, come on we have class,” Willow said rushing towards them. She knew what Kaia had done and she was boiling deep inside. How could she think of doing something like that? “ Chill Willow, we have like 5 more minutes and besides I got to go for my books,” Raine answered heading towards her locker as Mila did the same wondering why her friend was acting weird. “ Mila do yo—- What the hell? Who did this?” Raine let out a piercing scream shaking. Mila picked up the file that had fallen out of her locker. She opened it and she had the shock of her life. It was pictures of her and Ace when he forced himself on her. But the pictures only show her sitting and him kissing her. That wasn’t what happened. She was trying to push him off at that time but he wasn’t budging. Raine was a mess seated on the floor crying her eyes out while Mila stood frozen at the spot. Hayes t

"We gave our project the title ' Scars to your beautiful,'"Mila said standing in front of the class with her partner, Remy. Everyone else had presented their project and they were the last people to do so. " Intriguing," the English teacher said as Remy proceeded. " We came up with this topic because of what my partner, my girlfriend, and other victims had been through. Yes, they've been scarred but people turn to make fun of these scars just because they think these victims are getting too much attention or faking to be broken even worse, pretending to play the victim and dragging the pain for too long. No one knows how it is to be raped, molested, or harassed except for the victims themselves. This goes for both genders because guys also get raped, molested, or harassed too, All we want to say using Alessia Cara's words are But there's a hope that's waiting for you in the darkYou should know you're beautiful just the way you areAnd you don't have to change a thingThe world cou

TWO MONTHS LATER... Willow wore a huge smile on her face as she climbed up the podium for her high school diploma. High school had ended and she wondered what life had left for her, she applied for scholarships to get into her dream school, UC Berkely but she couldn't get in. Instead, she got to Palo Alto University which wasn't far away from home. She was happy she got in there, at least she could be closer to Aaliyah and she would be there with Raine, Khalil and Jax too. Mila, Remy, and Hayes as well as Gia and her sister Kaia got into the University of Toronto. She stood for a while looking at the faces of the people she loved the most seated and cheering her up. She wished her mom was present to see her graduate but that didn't look like it was going to happen. She took her certificate and descended the podium when the next name was called. " We need to go on a field trip before college starts," Raine suggested as they fininshed taking their pictures. Nayla and Ezra couldnt

Mila lay on her bed exhausted from class. College had resumed and they had reported to school. She’d missed Willow and Raine so much that they had face timed each other on a regular basis. And today was one of those days.“ You look tired,” Raine pointed out laying on the couch in Willow’s house. She had moved into Willow and Aaliyah’s place since her house was boring and no one was around. Willow and Aaliyah were beyond excited to have her there.“ I am fucking tired, but there’s a bonfire tonight I really want to attend, but I am tireeeeeeed,” she whined.“ You’re going young lady. You need to loosen up hav fun, release stress,” Willow added.“ But you guys aren’t here to convince me to go,”“ You can go with the guys,” Raine stated munching on some cookies. “ Rémy , maybe it’s been a while I last saw Hayes. He’s been caught up with school and Maryse,” she added. “ I thought his mom was taking care of her so he could focus on his studies, what happened?” “ Yes Mimi is taking care
