Emma.

I haven't felt like this in a while. Finally, things are falling back into place, and I feel myself again. Things are finally back to how they used to be. My relationships with everyone are great, especially Rosa. There are still things we need to recover from, but it's nice having my best friend back. Right now, Rosa and I are at the cafe catching up on everything. So much has happened since that party.

"You'll never believe who's been trying to go out with me" She said.

"Who?!" I said.

"Robert" She said, and my eyes widened.

"You mean like Roger's best friend?" I said.

"Yeah, he claims they're not close anymore. He says he's disgusted by what Roger did and saw how worthy I was and how I didn't deserve any of that...bunch of bullshit" She said.

"Yeah, do not go for him. That's like a disaster waiting to happen" I said.

"Oh, I already know. How about you? What's been going on?" She said.

We've been talking about Rosa this whole time. I haven't brought up what's been going on with me. Everything revolves around the guys, and I know how Rosa always got when I was around them. I don't wanna go back to that problem. 

"Uh..." I was saying, and she just looked at me.

"I know what you're doing" She said.

"What am I doing?" I said.

"You're not talking about anything because you think I'll get upset. You don't think I haven't noticed you around the guys? It's okay, Emma. I wanna know. Me getting mad over them was childish. I wanna know everything" she said.

"Really?" I said.

"Yes, everything!" She said.

"Where do I even start..." I said.

"How about Michael? I always see you two together...everywhere" She said.

"Yeah, we've gotten close. He was there for me a lot during everything" I said.

"Yeah, I heard some stuff. He's very protective of you. It's nice" she said.

"Yeah, it's shocking. I would never have imagined Michael to be like this—the old Michael" I said, and she laughed a little.

"You're right...he was an ass" She said.

"He's like a different person. He still has his sarcastic attitude, but he's also a sweet guy. You guys would get along" I said.

"He probably hates me" She said.

"He doesn't, trust me" I said, and she smiled a little.

I know Michael doesn't hate her, but he doesn't necessarily like her, especially after everything that happened. I don't want to say he doesn't like her, though, to make her feel any worse than she already does.

"So, how about Calum...last thing was he liked you" She said.

"So much has happened with Calum" I said, sighing.
