Celeste POV

I have been staying with Cole for the past few weeks and I'm really loving it here. I give him money every month so I'm not a freeloader. He is such a nice guy and honestly he hasn't tried to make a move on me which is great 'cause it will makes things a lot smoother for me. I can't imagine myself in a relationship right now.

I mean, yeah, you could say I did this to myself but I still loved both of them. Theo more than Reece but I knew he wouldn't want me after the abortion. So I just thought I should leave and Reece hasn't contacted me so I don't know if I should talk to him.

I'm sitting down on the couch and Cole, Dylan and Aurora are here; my best friends. They have all been so nice to me and I can't imagine where I would be right now without them.

"So Celeste, what's the reason why you came down here?" Aurora lifts her glass mug filled with tea and takes a sip. I look at her and hesitate. I already told Cole but how will Dylan and Aurora react. I take in a sip of cold air and breathe out slowly. I glance over at Cole and he nods his head lightly as if to tell me everything is okay.

"I had an abortion and my family and my ex-fiancé's family got upset at me. Then, my ex called off our wedding. He also called it off because I still like my other ex who is also my best friend."

"Wait, so who was your ex?" Aurora looked at me empathetic eyes.

"Theo Alan..." Dylan's jaw dropped.

"You mean the son of that CEO of THAT big airline company?!" I nodded slowly. As the memories started flooding in, so did the tears. Why now? All those times I tried to keep it in and it worked why now.

"You were the one in that magazine with him, OMG Celes." She cant hide the excitement until she sees the tears fall on my cheek. I laugh at this, I must look crazy. Aurora moves from the chair to the couch where I'm sitting and brings me into a hug. I start to sob unintentionally. But I don't regret it. This is the first time I'm letting out my emotions.

"I haven't seen my family or either of them since." She pulls back and looks at me surprised.

"Not even your family?! Haven't they tried to contact you?!" I shrugged.

"I turned off my phone" Cole looks shocked at this news.

"For how long ?" He asks.

"Since I met you..." He hits his forehead with the palm of his hand.

"Come on, they might be worried sick. You gotta turn on your phone."

I touch my pocket which where my phone stays. Not of any specific reason just cause. I take it out and look at the blank screen. I don't want to turn this one and have to face the reality. I want to leave everything behind but at the same time I miss my old life.

I click the button and get ready to everything to become a lot more complicated.

Theo POV

Today is the big day. I sit up from my bed, and look at the room, I'm not tired I'm just trying to take in my surroundings. I do this whenever some thing big is happening. The black and white walls greet me with familiarity. I suddenly smell bacon, I bring me feet off the bed and slowly stand up. I swing my arms to the air to get a nice stretch and walk into the kitchen.

There she is cooking, in my shirt. She drives me crazy when she does that.

"Morning." I walk up to her and lay multiple kisses on her neck, shoulder and cheeks. She giggles and turns and plants a soft kiss on my lips. She continues to make breakfast. As I sit down in the island and watch her.
