There she was. Mia looked so beautiful, unaware that I was carefully watching her as she corrected the assignments from her previous class. My fingers intertwined, keeping myself in control, stopping myself from hugging her. In these moments, I really needed one of her warm and comforting hugs.

Images of Emery and I in the back seat of the car invaded my mind. It was only a reminder of how I betrayed Mia. Sure, we were over but that was her sister. I really fucked up. I felt a lump in my throat, wanting to cry because of my actions. If I would have only been a little smarter. If I would have controlled myself, just like I used. Like I used to stay out of trouble. Where did my will go?

Ready to make things right with Mia, I fully entered the classroom. Closed the door behind me and locked it. Hearing the lock, Mia looked up and seemed confused. Somewhat, afraid. She scooted her chair back, away from me.

"Can we talk?" I asked softly, showing her that I came in peace.

"About what?" her eyes went back to the assignments. At least, she was willing to give me some of her attention.

"About Ms. Damon," I replied.

Mia cleared her throat, interrupting me. "Honestly, Riley, I don't want to hear you insult her," she assumed that was my purpose. Before I could defend myself, she went on. "Especially now that we started dating," bombshell. My heart sank to my stomach. It was as if it had been stabbed and dropped. I could not believe my ears. Tears whelmed in my eyes. God, I did not want to cry right now. I was so tired of that. I could not even argue with Mia about it, I did not have the right to.

"Cool," was all I could say, otherwise, my voice would break. Without saying anything else, I turned around and unlocked the door. I could not contain my tears back any longer, I had to get out of here as soon as possible. Right when I stepped out, I let my tears go. They ran down my face. I wanted to punch myself. This was all of my fault. I pushed her to this.

I pushed her to date that demon. Ms. Damon did not deserve Mia. Mia needed someone better. Not her, nor me. She needed someone sincere and genuine. Someone who would treat her right and be completely honest with her. Someone who she could actually be seen with.

Harry let my head rest on his chest as I cried. It seemed like that's all I did for the past few days now. Just cry. That's all I knew how to do now. All I could do. Nothing else mattered, honestly. I had no motivation. My energy drained out. Knowing that Mia was with Ms. Damon really brought me down. I suspected it before but now it was officially confirmed. By her.

"Riley, don't cry," Harry stroked my hair. "I know that you're heartbroken but you need to move on," he advised. "That's what Mia's doing, so now you have to as well," he added. "Remember when you were the one saying that the both of you had to move on from each other," he recalled. My head remained on his chest as I nodded, remembering. "Well, go back to that mentality but without the trouble," he suggested.

"I wish I could," I honestly did hope for it but it was too difficult. Mia was perfect. Okay, so she had her flaws too but she was perfect to me. She's the one who I wanted and needed. Even though I was not the one who she needed, or even wanted anymore.

"Angie and I will help you," he continued stroking my hair, in comfort.

"How?" I didn't even have the energy to try anymore.
