Mia's pov
Ivan and I were having so much fun talking and laughing on the way home that I hadn't realized that we weren't driving in the direction of my home.
"This isn't the way home." I say in a confused tone.
"I thought since we are on the way to my place, I just need to pick up something then I'll take you home." He says still with his eyes on the road.
"Do we have to? I mean, it's not urgent right?"
I wasn't ready to face the others just yet.
"This kinda is urgent. It's okay you can wait in the car if you don't feel comfortable."
I nod my head once with a slight smile in agreeing to stay in the car.
We then pull up in the familiar driveway.
"Okay, I'll be quick." Ivan then hops out of his car and disappears into the house.
I lean back into the comfortable car seat and take in the silence.
The headlights of the car dims slowly till it's completely off letting the darkness of the night sky surround me.
I hear dogs howling and the slight breeze hitting the car.
I start to get weirdly freaked out.
I hated the dark.
I take in a breathe and let it out, "You can do this." I mutter to myself.
I climb out of the car and wrap my arms around my bare arms when the cold breeze hit them as I walk up to the front door.
I hesitantly knock on the door before quickly wrapping my arms around me again.
The door opens and I'm greeted by Emilio's bright smile which quickly fades once he sees me.
His mouth parts slightly to say something.
"Uh, Mia? W-what are you-"
"I was waiting for Ivan in the car...um."
He notices my arms wrapped around my body.
"It's really cold out here. Come inside."
I walk inside the house, warmth instantly hitting me letting goosebumps rise onto my skin.
I look around the rather quiet house, only the tv softly playing in the lounge.
Emilio then closes the door and walks up to me.
He rubs the back of his neck nervously, "Uh, it's been so long...how-how have you been? How are you?"
"I've been okay..." I mutter before my eyes advert behind Emilio's head where I see Boggi walking down the staircase.
He slows down his steps when he sees me and his face turns hard, his eyebrows hooded.
I swallow hard and Emilio tenses up too.
Ivan then jogs down and stops when he sees us all standing around.
"Mia, I thought you going to wait for me in the car?"
"It got cold." I shrug.
"Well, it's a good thing I brought you this." He runs down past Boggi and hands me an over sized white hoodie.
I take it and thank him softly and chuckle lightly, "This is what was urgent? If I was warm or cold?" I joke.
He chuckles under his breath rather nervously and holds his finger up to me "No, I actually forgot it upstairs. Just give me a sec."
