Though my words were subservient, my posture remained composed and steady. I knew Bella would not appreciate an excessively groveling attitude. Tears welled up in Bella’s eyes. She turned and walked quickly away. Seeing that I had actually agreed to be the substitute for Bella’s boyfriend, Eliana hurriedly grabbed my arm.

I leaned into his shoulder, listened to the steady thud of his heartbeat, and closed my eyes. In the dream I wasn't the girl killing herself in a basement studio anymore.

The associate took the card with a bright grin and went to ring it up. I stood right in front of Andrew, but he still didn't recognize me. His gaze landed on me, distant and cold.

I stood next to Archie, who was l standing in front of a podium with a microphone on it along with a clipboard with multiple points that he needed to get to during the meeting. Robert stood next to him in front of another podium while Jenny stood next to her boyfriend. Lila and Austin stood next to me with a microphone in their hands, in case they had anything to say.

It was not smashed in, but it was closed locking everyone out of the room. “Does it matter?” Stan asks angrily. “What are you doing?” he asks. “Packing a bag. I need some space,” I say as I try to move around him. “No,” he replies.

“And you are?” Stan straightened slightly. “Someone who just had dinner with her.” Aiden’s jaw clenched. “I asked who you are.” Stan held his ground. “Stan. I work under Riley.” Aiden’s eyes flicked to me again. Under. The word landed heavy. His fingers flexed against my skin. “Let her go,” Stan said. Aiden didn’t move.

If anything, I felt free. For over ten years, I'd grown up alongside Cole and Finn and seen them as the most significant people in my life. But since I was never needed in the first place, that fact wouldn't change even if given another few decades. … Three days later, I was discharged.
