More than three weeks passed and Emma and Mila were slowly drifting apart. Mila noticed how their friendship was falling apart and she did not know if she should do anything or not. She tried to fix what had been unintentionally broken between her and her best friend— who did not realize how everything was going downhill between them —but all her tries went in vain.
Emma was too caught up in partying, drinking, and even smoking to pay attention to anything else. She did not pay attention to her studies the way she was supposed to. She was falling into a deep hole and refused help from anyone. Mila tried to pull her away from that dark life she was getting herself into, but she always ended up pushing Mila away.
Each girl decided to focus on her new life and everything they used to do together was kind of forgotten. How ironic? Emma was scared that Mila might forget about her and get busy with her new life and new friends, yet she was the one who forgot her

"I'm so excited and happy and nervous and overwhelmed! Oh god! I can't believe I agreed!" Mila exclaimed as she paced back and forth. She was at Leila, Hannah and Julie's place. The three girls, who were sitting right in front of her on the couch, looked at each other for a second before bursting out in laughter."Don't laugh at me," she whined as she threw herself on the chair placed beside the couch."Sorry, I just...I have never imagined seeing you like that," Julie laughed, making Mila glare at her."What do I even wear!?" Mila wondered."Just ask him," Hannah shrugged, looking at Mila."Okay," Mila nodded and texted Blake, who replied after five minutes."Something comfortable, yet nice." Mila read the message then looked at the girls."That's not something hard to find in any girl's wardrobe," Leila said and the others agreed with her."When you start getting ready tomorrow send us pictures of your outfits and we will help

"That bitch accused you of stealing!?" Hannah hissed when Mila told them everything that happened to her an hour ago."I... I can't believe she did that to me," Mila whimpered in Julie's arms. She was still in shock, she felt betrayed and hurt. Not once did she imagine something like that to take place between her and her longtime best friend."Look, you don't need somebody like her in your life. How about this? If you're comfortable enough with us then move in with us. Each room is supposed to take two people and Julie and I share a room while Hannah is alone," Leila told her."Yes, move in with us. It will be fun," Julie agreed, and so did Hannah. Their offer was not out of pity, they were comfortable around Mila. There was nothing that hindered the offer.

Emma was alone in her living room, doing some assignments. It was the weekend and Cole went out of town with his friends, leaving her all alone since Ariana was also away for the weekend. She left the pen and rested her back against the back of the couch. She looked around the apartment and suddenly started to feel that the place was too big for her. Emma kicked Mila out three days ago and ever since that she had been thinking about her decision. Was it the right one? Did Mila really steal the earrings?

"I feel sorry for your best friend," Blake said as Mila told him what happened between her and Emma."Ex-best friend," she corrected him as she ate a slice of pizza. They were at Pizza Hut alone, he wanted to spend the rest of the day with her and she wanted that too."You can't ignore her forever, Mil." Blake frowned, "if anything, it looks like Emma needs you in her life. Best friends have fall-outs, you can't hold that against her forever. She made a big mistake, I totally agree with you on that, but she is just blinded by the whole new life she got herself into.""Let's just not talk about her now." Mila changed the subject.

Cole reminded Emma for the third time. She did not want to party, but she has not gone to any party for long and she ran out of excuses."I will come, don't worry."
