Part 6: Riff off

It's been 2 months since my parents death. With the help of the bellas my mental health has become better. I miss them everyday but they wouldn't want me to be sad , so everything i do is for them.

When i woke up i had realized today was the day i move into the bella house.

I put on some black ripped jeans , a red crop top , and my air force ones. I put a red bandanna in my hair. I start packing up all my stuff again with the help of madeline.

Over the past 2 months Madeline became my bestfriend , we shared gossip and girl problems with one another. She made me feel like i was never alone. It made me sad realizing i prob won't ever see her on campus again. We have no classes together. I'll be on the opposite side of campus.

Madeline and I made our way to the bella house with suitcases and bags and boxes in our hands. It took us about 2 hours with the help of the bellas to transfer all my stuff. Once i was settled in , i gave madeline a big hug which lasted about 5 minutes. We finally pulled apart. "Goodbye Em , i'll see you soon okay?" she told me with a tear in her eye. "Goodbye maddy." I said with tears about to fall out. She walked towards the front door. She opened the door , turned to face me and waved her hand in a slow motion. I waved back. She then walked out.

I don't know why i was so sad , we could see each other whenever we wanted. Right?

Nope. A few days later , she was no where to be seen on campus. It was as if she disappeared. They claimed she got kicked out. I went to our old dorm room and saw nothing but a crum and a feather on the floor. Oh yeah , with a note on her bed.

Hey em, if this is you, don't worry about me. I dropped out because of issues with my family. Just know i'm always one call away. i love you em. so much. just live your life and have fun. i'll see you soon. 

xoxo, maddy.             .

I stared bawling. I walked back to the bella house with a smile on my face hiding the pain i was feeling. Just keep smiling em. Don't let anyone know you're not okay because no one cares.

I walked in the house to see Chloe , Stacie , Flo , Ashely , Jessica , and CR sitting on the couch watching a movie. Beca and Amy no where to be found.

"Hey em , wanna watch Annabelle with us?" Chloe asked me while looking back at me. "Um, in a bit. I have some homework to do." I lie with a shrug."Okay." she says with a frown while turning back around to hit play. I ran up the stairs and hung up Maddy's note on my wall above my bed. I sit on my bed. I sigh. "Well shit , my life sucks." I say with a little giggle.

I look at my picture frame on my nightstand. My parents. I kiss my fingers and put it on the picture. "I miss you guys." I say with a slight smile.

I snap myself out of my sad mood and hop in the shower.

The rest of the day consisted of watching movies with the bellas on the couch. Fat Amy was back , but Beca was still gone.

"Hey legacy, can you do me a favor?" Amy asks me seriously. "Um yeah sure." I say while turning to look at her. "Pull my finger." She says with a smirk. Being the idiot i am , i pull it. I make a grossed out face and i cover my nose. I pick up my pillow from the couch and i threw it at her. She gets her pillow and starts hitting me.

"PILLOW FIGHT!" Fat Amy yells. Next thing i knew , we were having a pillow fight. That lasted for a good 10 minutes. Laughter and real smiles everywhere.
