BEAUTY FROM ASHES

TWELVE

~The most gorgeous  thing on a human being. Vulnerability.~
-Nayyirah Waheed

My mom broke the news to my dad who clenched his jaw and ran his hand through his hair. He glanced at me, "You okay Millie." I nod.

-Next Day-

School was a drag today but I had something to look forward to. After school Ava and I headed to the shops. The tension in the car was undeniable.

When we arrived at Bella's she was in her sweats and welcomed us inside. Her house was amazing. The first thing we did was throw our snacks down onto her desk and then collapsed onto her bed.

Bella got up and threw stuff at us. I see she threw a pair of sweats at each of us. She pointed me to her bathroom and took Ava to the other one. "Change into those." I laughed and nodded.

-Later-

These girls are so understanding and loving. I totally forgot about my situation and I was just chilling with them.

We watched all sorts of movies and ate all types of food. Bella's mom came home and chuckled at the sight of us. She then headed to her room.

We finished watching Pitch Perfect 3 when Bella put off the television. She then held my hands and Ava changed her seating position.

I furrowed my eyebrows, "Okay, you guys are freaking me out. What's up?" Bella sighed, "Milea the tension in this room is eating me alive!! What happened between you and Levi that made you run off yesterday?"

I sighed, and ran my hand through my hair. "Okay well, Levi is my ex boyfriend, because things didn't work out." Ava and Bella gasped. Ava held my hand, "Oh girl I'm so sorry. Thank you for trusting us with this. I swear we won't tell the guys."

Bella hugged me. We then decided to call the pizza guy and we watched some more movies.

We then spoke about our fears and we spoke about our music interests.

         AIDEN'S POV

Connor invited us all over to his house and we were chilling and eating pizza.

Levi kept checking his phone and I started to get annoyed. I shot Liam a glance and he smirked and nodded. He then got up and snatched Levi's phone out his hand. Levi glared at him, "Hey! Liam give that back here!!"

I chuckled, then Levi and Liam attempted to wrestle one another. Connor chuckled, "You two fight like girls." Levi smirked, "Really now? Then come and us how Mr
Hudson." Connor chuckled, "Nah, I have better things to do." I chuckled.

They all got up and Levi glanced up at Aiden. "Bro, when did Milea start attending Valley View?" I took a moment, "Uhm, when the year started." He nodded. I furrowed my eyebrows, "Why?" He shrugged, "Nah, I was just wondering."

Liam smirked, "Do you think she's hot or something?" Levi snickered, "Nah, she's uhm...not my type." Connor furrowed his eyebrows, "For real? Please..excuse the female language but I'd ship you two so hard together."

Levi chuckled, "Hmm. Maybe but nah." I ran my hand threw my hair and pulled out my phone.

         MILEA'S POV

We are currently looking through Bella's wardrobe. Ava was nagging us to have a photoshoot since Bell's room's Tumbler.

I settled with Bell's off the shoulder light blue dress. I threw my hair up in a messy bun. I paired it with my white converse while Ava settled on a casual maroon dress with her white converse. Bella was the photographer. Although, we did take turns.

I decided to post the pics on my instagram and the girls did the same.

Funny enough my first like that I got was from Aiden.

         AIDEN'S POV

I scrolled through my social media and saw that Milea posted a picture with the girls. Not going to lie but they all looked pretty good.

-Next Day-

Emily and I settled on grabbing ice cream near the book shop. I was holding her hand and we were walking. Then as we're walking I saw Milea and Ava walking into the local book store. I saw Bella walk into the cafè.

I froze.

I then picked Emily up and got into my car. She sat and ate her ice-cream and patiently waited for me to start the car.

I saw Milea walk out with Ava, they both had a few books in their hands and I saw how they went into a coffee store.

They walked out the cafè with their coffee and donuts.

They then hopped into Bell's car and drove off. Emily turned to me, "Aiden, what's wrong?" I glanced at her and kissed her forehead. "Nothing sweetie, ready to head home?" She nodded.

I then turned up the radio and cried of laughter watching my sister sing along and attempt to dance with the music.

I smiled at her, "Who taught you those dance moves." She giggles, "Patricia." I burst out laughing again, but this time with Emily too.
