Holy mother of Cheeseballs! Hidden truths has reached 9k+ views!!!! I am honestly so flipping happy right now!! Thank you all for putting up with my late updates, and just sticking with me! TYSM!!! I have also decided that my chapters my be shorter but I will be updating more!

Previously In Hidden truths-
" Hey!!" A balding man yells, " Are you going to get out of the ring or what love birds?!"

"Hey we're jus freinds!" Chase said as I hide my blushing face in his arm

" Phh! That's what they all say!" The man yells as we disappear into the crowd.

As soon as we're out of the building our laughter fills the air, " That was Soo funny!" Chase says laughter breaking up his speech. I just nod seeing that's all I could muster in my hunched position.

I finally straighten and crack my back, " It's getting late Chase. We should probably start heading home." I say with my hands on my back.

Chase nods, " Ya, don't want your parents worrying Too much." He said a content smile on his face. We huddle close and walk towards the car, the parking lot lights casting shadows across our faces.

" Hey Emi." Chase asked

" What?" I respond and look up to see his face in a mask of Consentration.

" What did you mean earlier when you said that you had your eyes on another guy?" He asked, finally looking down at me.

I take a minute to find the right words, and I sigh. " I honestly don't know Chase. I really don't know." And that was the truth, I didn't know what to do in so many ways, and for once I didn't have to hold anything back. I leaned into his heat and smiled, a true and contented smile. " Thank you Chase."

" For what?" He asks

" For being there." I say as we get into the car, and in the dark I see a happy smile on Chases face

Chapter 16

"Bye Chase!" I say exiting the car waving, a small smile on my face. Chase just waves and drives out of the gates.

I walk up the short flight of stairs to get the the front door, and open my backpack to grab my keys.

When I open the door a hesitant voice asks, " Emilia is that you?"

I sigh and lock the door, " No mom it's just a robber who just happens to have a key!" I say with a chuckle.

My mom walks out of the kitchen a towel still in her hands "Emilia! It's not okay to say things like that, they could very well come true!!"

" Hi Emi! How was your day?" I ask in a sarcastic tone, " It was fine thanks for asking mom how was yours?" And I give her a pointed look.

My mom just shakes her head and walks back into the kitchen. "Whatever. You have food in the kitchen if you want it."

" What is it?" I ask

She pokes her head back out of the kitchen, " I guess you'll have to find out yourself!" and then walks back into the kitchen.

I sigh and take off my shoes, then set my backpack on the stairs, debating whether or not to trust my mothers cooking, seeing I got food poisoning the last time I ate something of her making.

Walking into the kitchen the buttery aroma fills the air and I sigh. Shrimp Linguine is my favorite.

After dishing myself a plate, I sit at the kitchen my head resting in my palm as I twirl noodles with my fork. A sigh excapes from me as I reflect on my more than hectic day. From fighting with the guy at the front desk, getting trapped in an alleyway and having a mystery man save me, to the most exciting part of my day, fighting Pansy, but still my mind won't leave the man from the alleyway.

Ugh! What's gotten into me! I think as I slam my head on the table, the cool wood somewhat reliving the pounding pressure in my head.

" Emilia Fern Clark! That's no way to be treating your brain! You only have one of them my dear!" My mum yells as she walks into the kitchen.

I roll my eyes at this but deside that I'd rather not fight her wrath today and agree with her." Okay mum, whatever you say."

I grab my plate and walk it over to the sink, opening the fridge and grabbing a jug of milk.

"Emilia you better not do what I think you going to do!" I smirk at my mom and unscrew the top of the milk jug, drinking as much milk as I please straight from the carton.

" That's so gross Emilia!"My mom groans, and I just shrug wiping away any trace of milk from my face as I put the milk away.

" Night mum!" I say, hugging her and pressing a quick kiss to her cheek..

" Night" My mom replys as I walk up the stairs, grabbing my backpack on the way up.

When I reach my room I run to my bed and just jump on, sudden feeling very tired. I guess a little nap couldn't hurt me.
