Those Same Blue Eyes

Chapter 8

Rachel's POV
Mia has never actually been to my house. My parents met her at my work one day when she was there to bother me. I walked in and my mom came running to greet us. My dad was already grabbing our coats and ushering us in. I guess you could say they missed me. I gave both of them a huge hug. I reintroduced Mia to both of them. They shook her hand while i started making my way up to my old room. I opened my door and noticed my bed wasn't made. That's odd, like someone's been sleeping in it. I shook the thought off and sat down at my desk, there it was. Another picture of Emily and me. i picked it up stared at it for i don't even know how long. I heard my mom yell up that dinner will be done shortly. I took a risk and grabbed my phone. I needed to apologize to Emily. For everything.

Emily's POV
My family and I were all sitting around the fire place, drinking hot cocoa and watching Polar Express. It's a tradition, we do it every christmas eve. It was the best part, the conductor was steering them on the ice! i was deep into the movie that i got scared when i felt my phone vibrate. I looked down and my whole mood dropped.

Text From Rachel Hicks
When are you free? We need to talk

I stared at the message for a little longer, i looked at the clock and it said 11:30 pm, it's almost Christmas. I texted Rachel back and said

Talk about what? I'm with my family.

Rachel:
Meet me at our spot when your family falls asleep.

Okay.

This could single handily be the worst mistake of my life. I locked my phone and watched the rest of movie. It was getting late and the movie was over. I said goodnight to everyone as they worked their way upstairs. i cleaned everything up when i felt my vibrate. It was Rachel, i checked the time and it was 12:34am. She said she was leaving in 10 minutes. It'd be an understatement to say that i was nervous. We talked earlier but it didn't go well. We kissed and then she accused me of cheating. This should be fun. I guess i should leave. I grabbed my keys and a hoodie and walked out to my car. Here goes nothing.
