Shattered; Tainted Love [ON HOLD]

V: An Awkward Surprise

(Emilya Summers at the top).

Say hello
To the brand new me
I gave out all apologies
I am NOT
Kissing a*s again
Say goodbye
All my two-faced friends
(Goodbye).

::*::*::*::*::*::

All the attention was on them as soon as Emilya and Karisma came into the living room. Mixed emotions bounced throughout the entire living room.

Emilya found herself moving backwards in embarrassment of how she made this awkward. Karisma held tightly on to her hand which made Emilya stop moving.

"Mommy, this is Emilya, she says she knows you," Karisma said, breaking the awkward silence.

Gasps and mutters filled the air as not only the Ryder's family but all the other guests that she had just realized.

"Emilya!" Nora exclaimed as she ran to embrace her long lost daughter.

Emilya couldn't believe that her mother still looked the same after all these years. Five years to be exact.

The mother trembled in Emilya's response to the strong embrace. Emilya later heard her mother sobbing.

"I'm so glad. That you're back," her mother sobbed before letting her go.

Nora stared in her bright emerald eyes and smiled. Her daughter has returned. Nora rained kisses on her daughter's face and forehead in joy and gladness of her return.

"Nora please, don't smother the poor girl," Gin joked as he got closer to the two.

Nora reluctantly parted from her, it was like if she let her go, Emilya was going to vanish into thin air.

Emilya was once again engulfed in a bear hug and drowned in the tears of her father.

Nora took hold of Emilya's hand and told Gin to continue the party. Nora and Emilya walked back into the hallway. After Emilya collected her things from outside, they were traveling up the stairs with Karisma watching them from a distance.

"I'm so glad you're back! You can tell me all about Riversville after the party," Nora chattered as she led Emilya to her previous room. "I didn't want Karisma to trouble your things, so I locked the door. Also your studio is locked."

Nora stooped down and removed a piece of the wooden floor to reveal a small silver key. She used the key to open the room door.

Nora pushed open the door for her.

Emilya immediately dropped everything onto the floor when she saw how different her room looked.

The walls and ceiling were painted in a dark purple colour, that she loved. White plush rug covered her entire bedroom floor. Her bed turned from regular to queen sized with a black duvet covering it. Two large, white pillows with black polka dots sat upright on her bed. She had a chest-of-drawer, a lamp stand, a small book shelf above a small table and wheeled chair in the corner and another drawer.

Emilya walked into the bathroom only to be met by wooden tiles and cupboards. White mats and a full body mirror that stood beside her large, oval tub. The medicine cabinet was no longer over the sink, it was replace with a mirror.

Nora's heart swelled with joy as she watched keenly as her daughter's eyes searched the entire room.

She was taken aback at first of how exotic Emilya looked after seeing her for so long.

Emilya had grown back her hair. Her dull eyes were shining brightly as they did when she was little. She could still see that she hasn't changed in habitual sense, but her personality seemed more.. Bold? Nora could see that her daughter had changed. Both physical and emotional.

Nora scolded herself for staring at her daughter's voluptuous body. Her large bosom and derriere made her feel a bit self-conscious about hers. A speculation then arises in her head that maybe her daughter may have had a boyfriend.

Shaking that thought from her head, she left Emilya to her amazement of the room.

"Hurry up and get over here!" Georgina exclaimed over the phone.

"I'm coming ma, geez!" He hung up.

"What did your mom say?" Bianca asked from the passenger side.

August turned in the dark narrow passage that led to the woods. "She said something about Summers family having a shocking surprise."

Bianca pulled out her phone out of her clutch and gasped that it was already twelve. "August, we missed it!"

"I know that, there's a clock right there," he muttered while focusing to drive through narrow road.

There was no moonlight so it made it even harder to see what's coming around the corners. August tried hard to concentrate with Bianca's constant blabbering. Sometimes he wondered if the girl could ever shut up for at least a minute.

After reaching the Summers' residence safely, August and Bianca got out of the car and reached the steps. August pressed the doorbell twice and waited.

"Hey!" Nora chirped as soon as she opened the door. "Come in!"

Bianca wrapped her hands around August's arm as the two of them stepped forward.

"Your parents are in the living room," Nora informed them before making her way upstairs.

August and Bianca were met with his family excitingly chattering. Once they had seen them, their conversation fell short with only big grin on their faces.

His parents sat together in one sofa. His siblings sat in the love seat where Gin told him to sit with Bianca.

Minutes have passed since August had arrived. It was then two female voices were heard, approaching closer to the living room. One belonged to Nora, and the other was unfamiliar to his ears.

It was at that moment, August breath stopped. His eyes widened at how strikingly beautiful this young woman was. His eyes roamed her body shamelessly drinking in every curve and edge that this girl had. Her eyes were so green – like emeralds! Her straight nose that sat on her oval face. Her full cherry lips looks desirable. Her long, curly, white as snow hair cascaded down to her wide hips.

The red dress she was wearing hugged her body nicely. This was too much for August, there's no way this girl could be real! No one could ever own eyes and hair like hers, unless it was...

The wonderment struck him hard. What if it was her? Why on earth does she have to look so damn attractive?! Questions gnawed at August's brain.

"There's no way," he said under his breath so no one could hear. "Impossible!"

"My Emi has returned!" Nora shouted joyfully, hugging Emilya once more.

Applause echoed the living room. August was left dumbstruck.

The girl he use to hate. The girl he did everything to annihilate. The girl he caused to so much pain towards. The same girl he tortured for years, he so desperately wanted to kiss right now.

He had a new desire for Ava.

Omg, hardest chapter to write so far. I honestly had to ponder on what to write next. I was constantly putting down my phone to think of what to write.

Until next time though, adios a todos!
