Her Redemption

25. Her Redemption

I stay outside longer than I should have. Thinking about what Bryan said. Thinking about the past six months. Thinking about everything honestly.

These past six months, I was able to heal. I was able to go back to education and become a teacher online. No one has to know who I am and no one has to see me. I thought it'd be better that way.

I might not make as much money as I was before but now I have a secure job. My house is fully paid for because of the scenes I didn't prior. All I pay for now is necessities and utilities. We're very blessed.

I also do only fans, which surprisingly I make a ton of money on. I also started my private webpage and merchandise. It's been a whirlwind with the amount of support I've received from everyone I know. At first I thought I wouldn't be able to do anything, that without scenes, my career was officially over.

On the contrary, I've never been more praised and more looked upon until now. I earn way more money with everything combined than I ever did doing scenes. Melissa is still my agent, she helps me out with my webpage. I also have instagram, tik tok, and tumblr, which I'm verified on and make a profit of with all the endorsements and ads.

I never thought I'd be where I'm at now at 27 years old.

My birthday is officially in a couple hours and I've never felt more serene.

Enrique also moved country's, he's not involved in Tommy's life whatsoever, is no longer a doctor after what everyone found out what he's done, and lives in a trailer somewhere in Canada. Last I heard, I'm not the only girl he's tried to ruin.

Emphasis on ruin.

He tried to ruin me. To break me. But all he did was push me down a hill, had me tumbling a bit, with scratches and bruises. He didn't succeed. If anything all the pain, all the suffering I went through, had me flourished.

And Bryan, gosh Bryan...

Bryan was my redemption. I may have said that he broke my heart but honestly I think I'm the one to blame. He's no longer at fault for that.

All these hurdles, was my redemption. I'm no longer frowned upon, I'm living gracefully and freely.

"Emma?" A voice whispers in the night taking me out of my thoughts.

I turn around and I'm faced with Spencer.

"Hi Spence" I sniffle walking up to him.

"Everything okay?" His green eyes assess me.

"I've never been better." And that's the truth. I feel.... I don't know. Not broken, not ashamed.

"Are you sure? I'll kill Bryan right now if he said some stupid shit to you." Spencer furrows his brows in confusion watching the tears slide down my face.

I wipe them and laugh a little. "Yeah, ha I'm more than okay." I cling my arm to his as we walk back inside the hospital together.

"Whatever don't tell me. I just wanted to make sure you were alright." Spencer and Bryan are still best friends. At first, Spencer didn't want to speak to him at all for hurting me but I told him that it's ridiculous. They've been friends since they were kids and they don't have to stop because of me. So they still talk and hangout—just not with me.

"Trust me" I squeeze his bicep twice reassuringly.

...

After many, many hours at the hospital, I'm finally home. They surprised me with a cake and gifts. But I told them the best gift was my little niece being born. Tommy is spending the night with my mom, he didn't want to let her go. Which is a great thing because now I have all this energy from the coffee I drank, I can pick up the house and relax. I was sad at first because it is my birthday but it's okay.
