Reality Sinks In

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

PLAYLIST PERFECT TO ME BY ANNE – MARIE

"Don't feel like putting makeup on my cheeks
Do what I wanna
Love every single part of my body
Top to the bottom
I'm not a supermodel from a magazine
I'm okay with not being perfect
'Cause that's perfect to me
'Cause that's perfect to me
'Cause that's perfect to me"

Emilia's POV

After a few days or maybe even weeks I got out of the hospital and thankful that I have regained my strength my mom insisted on going back home with them in the meantime but then I don't want to be a pain in the ass so I insisted on going back to my apartment and will make sure to update them. Martha and Joe still isn't allowing me to set foot inside the cafe up until they know I was well rested enough even if I said that I am fine now. France was staying over at my apartment until I am okay on my own

"well what do you want to do today?" she said while searching the fridge for something for us to munch on

"Thank you France for staying here and also to Ian for making you stay here" I said sitting in one of the chairs she just waved a hand

"What are friends are for right? Even though you didn't tell me everything that is happening in your life I'm mad at you for that and I will make sure you will tell me everything" She said I help her cook our lunch which consist of spaghetti, salad and some blueberry cheesecake that Martha has sent me when I got home from the hospital.

We ate in silence, but then France spoke up

"You know you should've told me" she said while frowning on her plate

"I'm sorry France, I just don't want to bother you I know you have been dealing with something too and I don't want you to worry about me" I said and looked at her

"Yeah, but I'm your best friend and I will be there for you no matter what I just don't like it that you hide things from me I will be always here to help okay?" She said I know I've been a very bad friend to her keeping her from the dark this past few weeks to be honest I just don't want her to be stressed out about my problems I don't want her to feel like I've given her so much weight on her shoulders

"you know I just don't want to be a pain in the ass all the time" I said while setting my fork down

"well the most important thing is now you're and you're here we don't need to sulk anymore and I know you really don't want to talk about it further but I just wanted you to know that I'm always here no matter what" she said and started to eat again "you can't get rid of me that easy eat up loser we will be having the day to ourselves"

I laughed and looked at her she is the greatest friend that one could ever ask for she didn't stay mad for a long time she always understands you and she always knows how to cheer you up. We finished our lunch and we head back to the living room for us to watch some movies. I open up a bottle of wine for us to enjoy the whole day

"Isn't it too early for wine?" she asked and I just shrugged

"Well we deserve a bottle or two we needed this bonding time and we should start it right" I said handing her a glass

"Are you sure you're up to this?" she said while sipping the wine then she sighed

"Let's get this movie started" I squealed and we sat on the couch surrounded by pillows, blanket and great wine. I look at France and she looked at me

"To new beginnings and stronger friendship" I said and we clinked our glasses and let the movie immerse us.

The next day..
