Sophia looks to me raising her eyebrows as she makes her way around the counter beside me.

"You know I'm not very good at advice but, honestly Mia, if she's not willing to even tell her close friends or even family about you... I don't know... it just seems like she's temporarily in it with you and the last i want to see is you hurt. As well as Erana we both know she has no idea what she wants ever. Just play it safe for me okay?" Sophia tells me and I kinda just doze off at the sound of her voice and the words she was saying.

"You really think she's messing with me?" I ask and look to her. She was taking a drag from the cigarette that laid in between her fingers. She exhaled before responding, "I mean it seems like it. You know when she had that little hometown fling? She told me about it.. so as to why she wants to hide that fact that you two are together-"

"I don't think we even are together.." I interrupt her.

"You really are the queen of interrupting, I wasn't finished... If she doesn't want anyone to know don't you think that means she doesn't see a future with you.. I mean she can't pull the 'no one knows I like girls' card because she's already told me about her interaction with a girl..." She mentions and I look out the window.

"I'm just saying, trying to be there as a friend but also try to be straight up with you ya know?"

"I know, thank you," I reply and she hugs me from the side and kisses the top of my head.

We talk for a few more minutes before Sarah comes to grab us for an early dinner.

Erana comes out wearing my shirt with some long ripped jeans.

I look to her and we make eye contact before she quickly looks away and heads for the door grabbing her small purse.

We all walk out and head down to the small little restaurant around the corner.

"It's so beautiful here... honestly if I could stay for another six months I totally would," Shannon who met us outside the condos says.

"Me too, I absolutely love it here," I say and look to Erana who was smoking a cigarette remaining silent.

We all chat before we reach the restaurant and we decide to sit outside because it was so nice out.

Erana orders her salad and I decide to go with the same thing.

I nudge her under the table with my foot and she looks up to me. I look to her apologetically and she forces out a smile before sipping her water.

We seem to sit there for hours. My mind too distracted to even enjoy the time I spent with my close friends.

My sadness went away as Sarah cracks a joke about Shannan and then shows me a photo causing us both to laugh historically.

Shannan snaps a video of it of course

Shannan snaps a video of it of course..

I've grown so close to Sarah.. I'd say besides Erana she was my closest friend on the cast. We all really were one tight knit family and I loved that.

Reign and Helena joined us about 20 minutes after we arrived so it wasn't too awkward that Erana and I weren't too social.

Eventually we all head back to Shannon's condo and by that time it was already 9pm.

I guess we were at that restaurant for hours..

"In celebration of us wrapping soon.." Sophia says and pours us all shots.

"Drink up ladies!" She says as I go to the fridge to grab a few sprites passing them around.

I hand one to Erana and she avoids eye contact as she takes it from me.

We take a shot, and then another..

Before I knew it we were playing beer pong on the balcony.

I lean forward and toss the ball into the back corner cup. I look over to Sophia as she sinks her ball.. I jump up excitedly and high-five her falling into a hug as Sarah and Helena each drink their alcohol that was in the cups.

I shoot again, making another shot. "Girl you are on fire!" Shannon says as she watches from the side of the table.

I take a hit from my vape as Sophia misses her shot.

Eventually the game ended and we won while our opponents had four cups remaining.

We all head back inside laughing and I fall onto the couch.

I look over to see Erana on her phone clearly avoiding me.

Feeling the alcohol I reach over and grab her phone laughing but she didn't find it so funny. She quickly retaliates and tries to grab it back but seeing the panic I realized she most definitely was hiding something.

Unfortunately due to the lack of control of my body, she got it back and walked off.

"What's up her ass tonight?" Sarah asks sitting beside me. "Who knows," I shrug and fall onto her lap.

We joke around with each other for an hour or so before I found myself dozing off on her.

"I can help you back to your room if you want me to," Sarah slurs. We had a couple more drinks and were both definitely still drunk.

"No I like it here it's so comfy," I mumble under my breath and then turn to look up at her. I was laying my head on her lap.

"You're so pretty," She says and caresses my face as her eyes struggled to stay open.

I smile and grab behind her neck pulling her down to kiss me.. I'm not sure why but I just did it.

She kisses me back and then we both laugh breaking away from each other. "That was so gay," She laughs and I laugh at her remark.

Eventually we both got up and drank a whole bottled water.

"Come on little miss poppins," Sarah says as she opens up the door.

She reaches for my hand and I stumble over to her grabbing onto it.

"Key?" She questions as we arrive at my door.

"My well Erana has it," I stutter and she exhales pulling out her phone.

I hear as she tells Erana to come open up the door and we wait about a minute before she opens it up yawning.

"Why didn't she just crash there?" She asks as Sarah hands her my hand and basically pushes me inside.

"She didn't want to, plus we're all just now getting to bed anyways," Sarah says and I fall onto Erana's shoulder grabbing her sides like my life depended on it.

"Thanks for getting her back in one piece," Erana says and I smile to myself.

She's so cute.

"Anytime, good luck," Sarah says and I lift my head leaning over and shoving her.

"Goodnight," She says as she grabs my hand.

We both say goodnight to Sarah before Erana closes the door.

"Are you mad at me?" I ask in a small quiet voice.

"No Mia," She replies as she walks me to my bedroom.

"Can you take off my makeup?" I mumble as I climb into bed with her help.

Without replying she grabs my makeup wipes and does as I ask.

"I'm so sorry," I slur. "For what?" She asks and I look up to her grabbing her wrist of the hand she was using to wash off my makeup.

"I kissed Sarah"
