The next day, Emma woke up before Mila. She took a quick shower to freshen herself up after the panic attack she had last night. She hated getting them, she felt weak and useless. She hated how she dragged Mila into all of this, but she had no one but her. She did not know who else she could trust with her fears.
After Emma got dressed in some comfortable clothes, she went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast as a kind of 'thank you' for Mila for taking care of her for the past few days. She decided to make scrambled eggs, waffles, and bacon.
After half an hour, Mila walked out of Emma's room. She rubbed her eyes sleepily as she made her way to the kitchen. Even after washing her face and brushing her teeth, she still looked sleepy.
"This smells amazing." She yawned as she took a piece of bacon and put it in her mouth.
"Good morning to you too." Emma giggled as she gave her a cup of coffee.
"How did you sleep?" Mila asked her, taking a sip of her co

Emma walked inside her place after Cole opened the door. She did not understand anything, she did not know why Cole brought Max and Justin. Something did not feel right.Cole took her to her bedroom. Her body was shaking slightly and her skin was a bit cold out of fright.Cole found his pleasure in Emma's fear. He enjoyed seeing her shaking and trembling because of him. She was nothing but a toy and a bank account to him and he made sure to abuse the hell out of his toy without any ounce of mercy in his body. Her misery became his ultimate satisfaction and he was used to feeding on her fear. Her fear was nothing but the nutrition to his sick soul.Cole pushed Emma roughly to her room. Her breath was unsteady and she felt that she was going to faint at any moment as she was petrified of them. There was a lump formed in her throat and she was not able to gulp it. Her throat narrowed and she was not able to talk or produce any sound easily."W-what do you w-

"It's been over an hour! An hour and nobody told us anything!" Mila was going out of her mind, she was scared for her best friend."Mil...calm down, please. You really need to calm yourself down, this won't help," Leila said as she sat Mila down."I just...I can't get the picture of her when she held onto me out of my mind. That asshole! He broke her! I could’ve prevented this! I could’ve protected her! I was stupid not to stay with her!" Mila sniffed, looking down.Julie was about to say something, but the doctor walked out of the emergency room so they all immediately stood up and rushed over to him."How is Emma? Is she okay now?" Mila asked him frantically as she wiped away her tears."She suffers from a concussion; it's obvious that she was hit hard on her head. Her wrist is sprained and she is really panicked. I don't think it will be good for her to stay alone, she needs somebody to take good care of her. It is expected that she

"Girls... do you mind if Emma stays with us?" Mila asked them quietly. After she brought all the stuff Emma would need from her apartment, she decided to go and talk to the girls about that topic. She was quite nervous. She didn’t want to leave Emma on her own and she was not sure if they would agree or not."Of course not," Julie and Leila said at the same time."I mind." Hannah surprised them. Actually, Mila was not surprised, she knew how much Hannah hated Emma."I expected that," Mila mumbled."You wait here," Julie said, looking at Mila, then turned to Hannah. "What is your problem? Don't you have any ounce of mercy in your body? The girl is shaken up and scared! I'm sorry Hannah, but you don't live here alone, three of us want her here. She was almost raped! She’s petrified," Julie spoke angrily. She was done with Hannah's attitude."You two won't fight because of me or Emma! I can figure it out by myself! I can find another place

Mila and Emma walked inside the apartment complex. Mila was still surprised by Emma's outburst, but she was proud of her best friend for standing up for herself. Emma was a bit shocked of her reaction, but she has had enough of her parents' control and she wanted nothing but to free herself from their prison."Are you okay?" Mila asked her as they stood in front of the apartment’s door."Yeah." Emma smiled at Mila.Mila opened the door and the two of them walked inside. Emma's eyes lit up immediately once she saw the nice gesture the girls did for her. In front of her, there were some letters hung on the wall that spelled "welcome home Emma". She saw Leila, Julie, and Blake sitting on the couch; of course, Hannah was nowhere to be seen."I knew nothing about this," Mila told her as they walked towards the living room.Julie and Leila hugged Emma while Blake hugged his girl. Mila smiled and gave him a quick peck on the lips. Whenever Emma was

It had been ten days since Emma moved in with Mila and the other girls. Everything has been going well for her and she has even changed her major. Luckily, she was just one semester behind and she decided to take an extra subject each semester so she would graduate at the same time she was supposed to graduate at.Emma walked inside Mila and Hannah's room and saw Hannah sitting on her bed. She wanted to get her bag, so she could leave for work. Hannah eyed Emma when she saw her then rolled her eyes. Emma knew that Hannah hated her presence and if she could, she would have kicked her out the second she stepped a foot in the apartment. Not once has she ever said a nice word to her and her mean looks were enough to make Emma shrink in her place."I... I will just get s-something and get out," Emma said in a quiet voice and went to get her bag that was on the floor. With the help of her friends, Emma was able to almost defeat her stutter as they kept practising with her ev

I was furious, I attempted to do my best to control my anger, but that was probably an impossible idea. I would not say that I was in disbelief that Hannah did something like that. Actually, my mind assumed the thought that has just turned into reality; my mind awaited for something like that to happen from Hannah, but my heart refused to give in to those toxic thoughts, neglecting all the signs that I witnessed during the past few days, thinking that my mind just loved taking me to dark places."Care to explain what has just happened?" I approached her. She looked quite nervous, probably realising the mess she had made a while ago and the consequences that were about to take place."I didn't mean to go this far," she whispered, looking down. Usually, I would not go hard on someone who felt guilty about something wrong they have done, but Hannah crossed the line."Really!? As if it was going to be all good if she did not have a breakdown!" I snapped at her. This

My mind kept thinking about every single word Hannah said to me. Each word killed me and wounded my already broken heart. She had no mercy on me, she hated my entire existence. I bet she would end up dancing on my grave if I died. Mila did not hate me after what I have done to her, yet Hannah loathed me.Cole was my ultimate fear, Ariana invaded my thoughts and made me lose my confidence and Hannah officially joined the 'monsters club’ that set their main goal to make my life hard.I hated my weakness, I hated how I was so dependent on Mila. The girl has never complained and she was always there for me, she even forgave me after I messed up everything; I still could not believe how I accused her of stealing and how I treated her in front of them...did she really love me that much to put all of that behind her and become my best friend again? Even if she did not complain, I did not like how she always felt the need to protect me. I needed to learn how to protect m

"I love it!" Emma beamed as she looked around the apartment. Mila called her and told her that she found a very good apartment for a reasonable price so the two girls went to check it together.The apartment was really cozy and warm and they both seemed to love it. The entrance of the kitchen was on the right once you open the front door while its counter faced the living room and it had three kitchen chairs. The living room was in front of the kitchen. Its size was good, enough to fit a small dining table on the far left and a dark blue L-shaped couch with a coffee table in the middle while the TV was against the wall with a short long black table beneath it. On passing the kitchen, there was a hall. The first door on the right was for the laundry room, then there was the door of one of the bedrooms and the other one was right across it. The two bedrooms had bathrooms, but one of them was connected to the main bathroom of the apartment."Should we sign the contract?"
