Chapter 16

~Millicent~

It has been exactly 23 minutes since Donovan left. I cannot believe this happened. He's back in my life again and I don't know what to do. I feel like I should call him... Ugh. Does he even have the same number? Do I have the balls to call him? I absolutely don't. Not only because I'm a 22-year old woman, but because I have zero confidence. Now Madison is pounding on my front door.

"Coming!" I shouted.

I picked up Mason up from off of my bed and went to the door.

"Mommy?" he mumbled.

I nodded and opened the door for Madison. She pushed past me with Maegan holding her hand and the other pushing a stroller.

"I heard the news," she said.

"What news?"

"Cover your ears." Mason did as told and Maegan did nothing so Madison covered her ears for her. "You know damn well what news I am talking about."

"I seriously don't." I probably do, though.

"Liar! You cannot tell me that you didn't know that Donovan O'-freaking-Keefe is back from Versailles!"

"Oh... Cool," I replied nonchalantly.

"You cannot be serious! How are you just gonna- You know what? I'm going to go before I scream at you. T-T-Y-L!"

"If you say that one more time in my home, I am going to sell all of your shoes."

"Ugh. Goodbye, little sister."

She put Mason in the stroller and left out of the door. I sighed and flopped face-first on the couch. I was just beginning to fall asleep with my face on a couch cushion when the door swung open again. I groaned and got up from the couch to see who it was. Tyler was standing next to the door with his arm held out.

"And now welcoming the future MRS. ASHLEY MARIE FINLEY!"

Ashley walked into the house with jazz hands, showing off the huge engagement ring on her finger.

"Holy crap!" I squealed. I ran over to her to examine her finger. "Is that real!?"

"It better be." Ash turned to look at Tyler and he nodded with a proud smile.

"Ashley, congratulations. Tyler, I don't know how in the hell you could afford that huge rock, but good job."

Ty smiled and looked at his watch. "Future Ashley Marie Finley, do you know what time it is?"

"Is it victory time!?"

"Huzzah!"

They ran up the stairs with giggles and laughs. Honestly, I was happy for them. Yes, I was going to be the last person to finally meet someone, but I was happy for them.

I plopped back onto the couch again for a nap when Emily and Quinn came back into the apartment laughing. I lifted my head up with a groan.

"Oh... You're home. I expected you to be with-"

"With Donovan, Emily?"
