"Ana!" Ellie shouts

"Ana!" Ellie shouts. I lose my balance but quickly grab onto something. "What are you doing here?" I ask as I climb down. "We haven't seen each other in like forever! I needed to see you!" She says hugging me. "I have so much drama!!" She smiles and we start walking. Where? I don't know but it's nice.

Its Nice to have someone to talk to, especially one off my best friends.

"So..." I start. "How have you been?" I look at her. Not seeing her for a while has made me realized that I do have someone in my life that cares about me.
"I've been good, I've really missed you. What even happened?" She says. "I lost my virginity to Elijah. My brother hates me, Matteo hates me, my parents hate me and I'm not allowed to leave the house except for college." I say and she looks at me like I've lost my mind.

Mouth wide open eyes open and big. She grabs my shoulders shakes me a little and screams; "You lost your virginity!!!?". Of course. "How was it? How was he? Was he nice after? Oh my god tell me everything!!" She hops up and down. "It was really good, he was really good and yes he took care of me after." I say smiling and looking down feeling quite embarrassed. My face feels warm and I feel all squiggly.

She laughs and we continue walking. We talk and talk and talk some more.

"I missed you." I say as we sit down on the ground at me, her and Antonia's spot. We always came here when we wanted to talk about anything and everything. She sighs and pulls me in to her side, "I missed you more." She says and gives me a wide smile.

«2 PM»

I'm back home now. No one noticed I was gone and it feels nice.

Amina is here. Lucas is here and yea. Everyone is happy. Even I. I'm happy. I got to talk to Ellie, I got to tell someone everything I was hiding and bottling inside off me.

Someone knocks on my door. And I've gone completely numb. Yea. That's good. I walk over to my door and unlock it, open it slowly.

It's Matteo. "Hi?" I ask looking at him and the away.
"Are you okay?" He asks opening the door wider and then stepping inside. I look at him. I don't answer but I look at him. I can feel the tears burning behind my eyes. "Ana? It's okay." He says and walks over to me reaching out for me. I step away, I'm not ready for that. Not now. Maybe not ever. "Please, I'm not going to hurt you. I just know that you need someone right now. Emin told me you haven't been out off your room in two weeks. I know you couldn't because off us but still." He says, "have you at least been eating normally?" He asks. And a tear carefully makes it's way down my cheek.
That's his sign to give me a tight hug. "It's okay" he reassures me.

"I'm sorry, I promise. I. Am. Sorry." He says wiping my tear away.

"Why? Why would you do that to me?" I ask. More tears escaping my eyes. "I was mad, I promise I'm sorry. It was stupid off us to do that. You're old enough for anything. I'm sorry I got mad at you." He says gently.

"Why where you mad?" I ask. "Because.." he trails off. "Because.." he tries to start a sentence. He takes a deep breath and looks me in my eyes. "Because I never stopped loving you." He says and walks out off my room. It might have been the best choice.

I really don't know what's going on. And I'm not sure I believe him. I have to call Elijah. I need to talk to him.

I suddenly get a text from Elijah. Perfect! Its like he knew I needed him.

Elijah❤️❤️: I'm sorry we are over. I love you but it's for the best. I'm not allowed to date anyone now that I'm soon taking over dads company.
Me: Okay❤️ Love you too.
Elijah❤️❤️: Goodbye for now Ana❤️
Me: Goodbye ❤️
