I'm just being dramatic, don't mind me😂

Here goes nothing....🙂

Aria's POV

I just lay there, fumbling with the cover, covering me.
My body feels so weird. Avery told me I was in a coma for a whole week.
I can only imagine how scared they must have been.

Few minutes later, the door opens and Everly peeks inside.
"Everly" I chuckle "Come in" I smile and wet my parched lips.

"Aria" she runs towards me and hugs my body.
I wasn't allowed to get up fully from bed, so they just raised the head of the bed, so I could stay in a sitting position.
Next to Everly is Layla, Riley, Nora and Alexander.
The moment my eyes land on Nora's reluctant form on the doorstep, my head starts hurting as I tried to remember why I feel mad at her

What did she do again?

I just stand there. Dumbfounded is an understatement. The two didn't even notice my presence in the room and that body looks awfully familiar and I so pray it is not what or who I think.
They were too focused on each other.
I carefully took a seat opposite them, the girl sitting on my husband's lap, her back facing me, so I couldn't see her face. Anger was radiating off me. I honestly don't know how I was able to be this calm. Although my tears were flowing down my cheeks, I stayed silent.

"Alex. I love you so much" she says and immediately I recognize the voice and shoot up from my seat. That's when the quickly jumped away from each other as they heard the screeching of the chair on the floor

"Aria!" Nora says, shock very evident in her voice.
I stand, unable to say anything.
She quickly organizes her dress.
"Aria I'm so sorry." She walks to hold my hand.

Nora and Alexander
I was in Alex's office, that's the last thing I remember.
Lawson had asked me to tell him what happened, but I couldn't remember what exactly happened, but now everything is coming back to me.

I had gone to surprise Alexander in his office and inform him about my baby, when I caught my best friend on his laps, seriously kissing him and his hands running all over her body.

Anger starts to grow within me

But how come I lost my baby?!

"Aria it's not what you think!" Nora says. I try to walk into the elevator, but she blocks my way.
"Fine, I'll take the stairs" I reply as I walk towards the stairs, but they still run after me.
"Aria, please just listen. We won't take much of your time" Alexander says.
"Aria it's not what you think. I love Alexander" Nora says.
"How dare you say that to my face" I walk towards her and begin to hit her.
"I hate you Nora! I hate you"
