Chapter 17

Emily's POV

I wake up and I don't remember when I fall asleep last night. Despite how much he broke me, now I'm still smiling because of him.

Ironic how the people we love the most, hurt us the most.

I open the phone and I saw a message from him.

* Good morning princess * it says

* Good morning neighbour * I type and smile

I go downstairs and my mom was drinking coffee. I hate coffee

"Good morning mom" I say

"Good morning. You look in a good mood" she says

"Yeah" I say as I start eating the breakfast.

"I'm wondering what project would it have been that kept you two working till 8 pm" she says and I don't want to eat anymore.

I know it's weird , but I can't tell her.

"It was in physics and it was hard to understand" I lie

"I hope so" she says but I ignore her

For once, I want to be free...

When I finished house-work it was about 12 pm

I go to my room and text the girls

*Heyy sleepy heads* I text to the group

*Good morning* Alyssa and Sophie type

*Good afternoon. It's 12 pm* I type adding some smiling emoji-s

*well, we haven't found our love birds so... It's not necessary to wake up early * Alyssa says and I know she's talking for Daniel.

*Uhgg, fine* I write and then we made a one-hour discussion about our lives

I go back downstairs to make the lunch with my mom

...

"Were you crying last night?" Kevin says as we're eating

In fact, I was crying, but he has no right telling this in front of everyone.

"Who me?" I say acting like I'm surprised

"No, I was talking for the wall. Of course, for you." He says and literally I'm going to kill him

"I wasn't crying. Noone was"

I say and my mom is seeing me with a death look.

Daniel's POV

I wake up and the first thought running on my mind is she

I text her a good morning text and go downstairs to eat breakfast. It's weekend but surprisingly I woke up earlier than I do when I have school.

"Good morning mom. Where's everyone?" I ask her as I see the house empty.

"Dad is working and your siblings are in English course" she says

I had forgotten that, but right now I see how empty a place is where there aren't the one you love.

Home isn't a place, home is where people you love are.

"Daniel can I ask you a question?" My mom interrupts my thoughts.

"Sure" I say

"Is Emily the girl you like?" She says and I'm shocked

"What? No?" I say as I give my fakest smile
