After Camila left I went inside with Emily. I walked into her room but I didn't see the typical Ariana Grande posters. Instead I saw a photo of Camila, Emily, and I from when I used to live in Camila's house.

"Where did you get this from?" I asked picking up the picture frame on her nightstand.

"The basement. I found a lot of boxes with her name on it" I put the frame down and sat against the headboard next to Emily.

"Where are your posters?"

"Basement."

"Why did you take them down?"

"She's Camila's ex, it would be weird if she saw them when she comes. I texted her saying I wanted her to see my room." I nodded. Why is she so nice to her all of a sudden?

"Okay"

"I found a guitar" Emily got up and reached under her bed. She took out Camila's old guitar.

"Basement?" She nodded and inspected the guitar. She ran her fingers over the neck and looked at the initials.

"You really loved her huh?" I took the guitar and looked at the initials.

"Yeah"

"What if she asked you to get back together." Emily asked quietly.

"Then...If I didn't have Ally, maybe I would." It was true I hate it, I love Ally but as a friend.

"Then leave her"

"I can't"

"Can't or won't?"

"You should probably go to sleep."

"I think you should give her a chance."

"Goodnight Emily" I walked out of her room replaying her words.

"Camila is having a meet and greet at the mall next month. I AM SO GOING!!!" Crazy Katie can't go a day without mentioning Camila.

"Out" Emily yelled out as soon as I pulled over to Katie's house.

I drove to our house and no surprise Camila's car was there, and again no Ally.

Emily hummed giving me a sneaky smile.

"Hello Camz!!" Emily yelled out when she saw Camila. I'm the only one that calls her that.

"Aww I haven't heard that in a long time." Camila smiled at me and walked over to hug me.

"Come see my room" Camila was tugged by Emily into her room.

"Ma'am" I saw Sergio with Ana in his arms. I quickly took her and gave him a shy smile mouthing a 'sorry'. He's not used to being left with Ana.

I heard a lot of giggling coming from Emily's room.

"Hi Laur" Ally walked in with groceries in her arms.

"Hey" I went over to help her with my spare arm.

"What's that" She said pointing back referring to the giggling. "Is Katie here again?"

"No-"

"Mom Camila said-" Emily stopped and looked over at Ally. Camila walked in behind her. "She said...that we should go out for dinner. It is Friday."

"Uhh Ally maybe you should join us. If that's ok" I looked over at Camila and she nodded.

"Ok, let me go grab a jacket." Ally said leaving into the hall.

"Oh damn I promised my friend I would have dinner with him tonight." Camila said in a worried tone.

"Well if you're too busy we could have dinner some other time." I suggested but Emily turned and scowled at me.

"No no. It's fine, you guys could meet him. You'll love him"

"Who is he?" Emily asked.

"My friend Troy."
