I stand there for a second then flopped down on the couch. I feel the tears start to run down my face again. I am not sure how long I can do this. Living here makes it even harder, but I barley found this place. My mind drifts back to my dad from before he left, when he still loved me. When I was young without a care in the world. The silent tears fell down my face as I curled into a ball and wondered why. Why couldn't my dad have stayed? Why couldn't my mom been nice and sweet? Why can't Cole just hate me? Why did I end up with friends? Why?
"What's wrong Emily? Are you alright?" I hear a worried voice and realize I didn't hear Alex come in. I am glad that Gabe isn't with her.
"No," I whimper through my tears. "Why can't Cole just hate me?"
"What happened?" Alex asks.
Then I tell her. From how happy I was with my dad, how he left, how my mom acted after that, why I moved here, my feelings for Cole, what happened with Cole, and why it made me cry. She just hugs me. I feel a tear on my shoulder and realized she must be crying. When she finally lets go, I seem to relax. I never knew that telling someone would feel so good.
"I'm sorry Em that this happened to you. No one deserves to hate love,"Alex says giving me anther hug.
"I'm sorry for making you sit through that," I say whiping the tears from my face, laughing weakly. Alex smiles.
"Hey, do you mind if I tell the boys? that way they'll better understand. Dana can be kinda flirty," Alex says, and I chuckle at her joke. I think for a second, and then nod.
"Yeah, you can. I guess it would be best. Can you ask them though to not talk to me about it because it's kind of hard for me to talk about because, well you know," I ask tentatively. Alex nods understanding completely.
"Now you should get to bed Emily.you look exhausted. And don't worry about the boys I'll make sure they understand." Alex reassures me, helping me to my room.
"Thank you so much Alex," I tell her." This was really bugging me and I'm not sure how long I could have dealt with this alone. I never realized how much better I would feel telling someone. I never had anyone to tell before now. Thank you."
she nods and tucks me into bed. then she exits the room, closing the door quietly. I was already fast asleep before the door closed.Alex POV
After putting Emily to bed, I pull out my phone and call Gabe.
G: hey baby what's up?
A: what are you and the guys doing?
G: just hanging out at the house, comforting Cole. Do you know what's wrong? He wont tell us.
A:that's what I called about I'll be over in a few.
G: Kay, love u baby!
A:love u too!I hang up and grab my keys. I go to grab my shoes, and realized I never took him off. I go out to my car and quickly drive to the band house. all of the boys live in one house. it is very convenient for the boss, Eden, and their manager, Jill, to get in touch with them, all of them, that way. I also findit convenient in these type of situations. When I get there, I take out my spare key and go in. I see them all laying around on the couch and Cole looks like he has been crying. I tell them everything and they all sit in shock. I look at Cole to see his reaction, and he has his face in his hands and I can tell that he started to cry again. Gabe follows my gaze, and when he sees his friend he goes over and sits by him and gives him a hug. Dana just kind of sits there processing it all. I feel a pang of sympathy for Cole. Right away I could tell that he had feelings for Emily, and he was doing what he knew to do when he liked someone. He really didn't realize what was going on, and that just made it worse.
"What have I done," Cole sobbed into gabes shoulder.
"It's okay Cole it'll be alright" Gabe says, trying to comfort his friend. Dana comes over to Coles other side. I meet gabes eyes and he mouths "thank you" before I leave. I know that it is hard for poor Cole.EMILYS POV
I wake up, and for a second I don't remember anything. When I touch my puffy eyes however, it all comes back to me. I go out into the kitchen and I see that Alex is making dinner.
"Did you have a good nap?" she asks.
"ya. thanks for last night," I Confide. she nods in understanding and informs me that dinner wont be ready for little bit.
"One of these days I have got to cook!" I exclaim laughing.
"Not if I can help it!" Alex laughs.
I go back into my room and shut the door. I see that Alex also brought my keyboard back into my room. I sit down in front of it. I hesitate before I place my fingers on the familiar keys. I don't have the notes written down, but I know them by heart. I play my son again, humming along. I go through it again and write down the notes. Just as I finish, I am called to dinner.
