Hating Emilia

43

-Emilia Diaz-

College starts soon. I'm packing the last few things I need since I'll be leaving soon, I'm nervous to leave.

I don't know what I'll really do when I move out, but I'll be with Eliana at least, so I'm happy about that

I'll be dorming at the university and then during the holidays I'll come up with Sophia and Silas since they aren't far from it, most likely staying with them until they come over here.

Along with staying with them till college starts, which is in a few weeks I believe, I think college is one of the stressful things to start for me, maybe, I don't know.

Ethan's out right now doing some last minute shopping for college since we both leave around the same time, it's sad knowing we won't be going to the same college, but I'm happy for him.

We plan on hanging out at least once every few weeks on the weekends.

We'll be about an hour away from each other, Silas should be here soon so I can put my stuff in his car and bring it to the apartment Sophia and him stay in, then he'll probably come up the week college starts to take me.

I tape up the last box and get up to grab more stuff and boxes, but then there's a knock at the door, I somewhat had expected it to be Ethan, but he has a key to the house, so why would he knock?

I move the boxes out of my way, open my bedroom door and then go downstairs

Opening the front door I see the last person I expected "Aria?" I say, seeing her stand there after months is strange. "Hey, Em.." she says with a shy smile "why are you here?" I asked confused

Aria sighs, looks around before opening her mouth "I was wondering..can we be friends..again?" She asked, I stare at her, what? "Are you serious? Why would you even ask that, you have Hannah and Samantha."

Aria blinks at me "Well- after graduation, Hannah and Sam- we go into an argument and they left me.." she say, I nod "so what does this have to do with me?" I ask, her eyes widen

"I- Emilia I didn't mean-" I cut her off "you did mean it, if you were a good friend you wouldn't have told Samantha what you told her." I say

Tears fill Aria's eyes, yet I don't feel bad for her "Emilia-" she says and I shook my head "Aria, you told her what I trusted you with, you didn't even stick up for me when they said all those things." Im frustrated that she's doing this.

After she treated me like that, she wants to be friends again? I know those tears are just to make me feel bad, and I don't, I really don't.

"I'm sorry, I won't do it again." Aria says and I nod my head "you're right you won't, because I don't forgive you." I say

Tears are now leaving her eyes "I didn't mean it, please can we be friends." She begged

"Fuck off."

I close the door in her face and rest my back against the door, huffing out a breath "who was that?" Papà asks, my head snaps up to him

"Just an old friend." I mumble "you okay?" He asks and I nod, he walks over to me and gives me a hug "I'm proud of you, for sticking up for yourself." He says, I smile softly

"Thanks papà" I say and he nods "you still got your stubbornness from your mother though." He says, i scoff

"Hey- don't you literally refuse to go to bed until you finish with work?" I ask and he shrugged "I'm allowed to, I'm your father." He says, I blink

"I don't think that's how it works-" I say "still allowed to, need help with any more packing?" He asks and I shake my head

"I don't think so, I might come up on the weekends if I need anything." I say and my father nods
