"Oh my, God, I missed you so much," I say practically jumping into Stella's arms as she entered the apartment with Jamie trailing behind her "Never leave me again," I say and she laughs while holding onto me 

"Oh, you're fine," She says and I just know she rolled her eyes "No, she wasn't fine, she had herself convinced every single night that she was going to be murdered," Jack says from behind us 

"You can let go now," Stella says while laughing and I step away from her "Jamie," I say while giving him a quick hug "Hello," he says and I laugh slightly "Ello," I mock him 

"Ello," Jack says joining in "Would you like some tea?" I ask Jack in a British accent while  pretending to hold a teacup

"Only if there are some scones," He says back in a British accent; that far worse than mine "You guys need to shut up," Stella says pushing me into Jack and we laugh 

"I am so tired," Stella says while falling onto the couch while Jamie drags in their luggage "I am so awake," I say while sitting down at the end of the couch and putting Stella's feet in my lap 

"It's only seven," I say to her and she groans "I'm still on UK time, it's midnight for me," She says while Jack and Jamie sit down lost in conversation 

"Oh, we need to talk," Stella says getting up quickly and pulling me with her toward her bedroom "Stay here," She says to the boys before yanking me into her room 

"You and Jack," She says while putting her hands on her hips "What about me and Jack?" I ask trying to act oblivious 

"You guys have been together every single day since I left, you can't tell me that you still don't want to get back together with him," She says and I look down at my hands and play with the rings on my fingers 

"It's been nice, I guess," I shrug "I definitely missed being around him, and I definitely missed him a lot, but I don't know,"

"You guys are practically soul mates, no matter how long you went without talking, you saw him and fell straight back into the way you once were," She says looking at me "Everything feels so right with him," I groan while leaning my head back 

"Because you love him obviously everything is going to feel normal with him," She says while tilting her head "I mean I'd love to get back with him but at the same time it feels wrong like I broke up with him because I couldn't handle things and suddenly now that I'm completely ready I get back with him, that just makes it look like I'm playing with his feelings," I say sitting down on her bed 

"No, it doesn't, it looks like you both grew so much and clearly he regrets how he treated you and I'm sure there are parts of you that regretted how you ended things," She says sitting down next to me 

"He didn't even treat me that badly, sometimes I feel as if I overreacted by breaking up with him," I sigh "No, you knew how you deserved to be treated and him ignoring you for days claiming he forgot and never taking time to see you, is not how you deserved to be treated. And you knew that," She says softly 

"You also still needed time to heal and grow from Chris, and you taking those months to work on yourself was just what you needed, because you finally had a reason to get better, you wanted to be a better person for Jack, and that was what you worked on," She says and I nod softly 

"I just feel like I messed with his feelings, the way he begged me not to break up with him that night, it replays in my head all time, I hurt him and I hate that," I say 

"But he also agreed to what your reasons for breaking up with him were, he knew that you weren't ready, and he knew that he was treating you badly," She says and I soak in every single word she says 

"Talk to him, you never fully talked it out, you both need to get everything off your chest," She says and I nod "I'll talk to him soon," I say and she groans "Your version of soon is like three months from now," She says and I laugh 

"If we're all having a movie night, then I'll talk to him tomorrow morning," I say while standing up "Now let's get out there before they think we died," I say while walking toward her door 

"What is up with you and thinking of us dying," She says while we walk out of her room and I laugh slightly "I don't know, maybe I've been watching too many crime documentaries," I say while we sit down on the couch
