Emma Pov
The inside was beautiful, nothing compared to the outside. The outside looked simple it was built with mostly board. It was painted sea green with a wooded porch, but the inside was painted white and the furniture black. It looked so modern on the inside. Pictures of the sea were almost everywhere."Tristan it's beautiful," I said in amazement."Where did you find something like this?" I asked still looking about."Um, it's my mum's favourite place to come when she's not feeling herself. She said the ocean clears her mind." He answered walking towards the back room."So I'm here to ease my mind?" I asked raising my brow."Don't you need to?" He asked raising back his brow at me.I blushed and walked past him opening the backroom door myself. Which revealed the bedroom.It was really nice, full of colour, and plants and had a huge window wiEmma pov"Tristan, I've been asking a million times where the hell are we going?" I asked him annoyed."We're almost there stop sounding like a kid." He told me.The kid I really was I pouted and looked out the window.A few minutes later we finally stopped. Thank God.We stopped outside what looked like an art museum. I was confused as to why he will take me there, after that long drive I thought it would have been somewhere more amusing.Tristan saw the confusion on my face and said to just come with him upstairs, so I did.We went inside and to my surprise, it was indeed an art museum."You like it? This art museum is for artists that the big companies refuse to recognise. Such talent they have." Tristan said.I looked at them in amusement. They were all gorgeous. The talent of those artists was amazing, those companies were really missing out on true talent.
Emma Pov I've gotten soft-hearted since I fell in love with Tristan. Yeah, I said it, I'm in love. Who knew right? Since I knew myself I was barely an insecure person I didn't care what the girls at school thought of me. I was pretty, smart and amazing. Being with Tristan boosted my ego to a full hundred and I loved it. The months passed by very quickly with a lot happening. Crissy went back to the hospital, and when we thought she was getting better, she was only getting worse. She had to cut off her hair because it started falling. Tristan and I visited as often as we could. Every day she got worse, her body was giving up and the treatments weren't working fast enough. My mom and dad came back for five days just to see her. They were extremely sad to see her in the state she was in. Tristan's stepfather to be, left his mom after she was caught cheating with a guy from her job. I never knew her to be that kind of person, always thought she was the faithful one, but I wasn't go
Emma Pov I Woke up and rolled over to an empty spot on the bed which should have been where Tristan should be. Where did he go, I wondered. Thinking he went to the bathroom, I raised myself in an upright position to sit on the bed and called out his name. "Tristan, babe." No one answered. I got up and went to the bathroom and looked around. Maybe he was downstairs or he went out, I had thought to myself. Ugh, I hate it when he does that, just running off while I'm asleep. I wasn't going to lay around and wait for him so I decided to get ready and prepare breakfast. Toasted bread with tuna paste and orange juice was the breakfast I prepared.As I had finished pouring out the juice into our cups I heard a car pull into the driveway. Must be Tristan was my first thought. ~.~ Tristan Pov I pulled into the driveway and parked. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. I just sat and contemplated with my
Emma pov The session that Tristan and I had was intense and really amazing. He fucked me then told me what happened to his mom. That wasn't how I wanted him to tell me what had happened. I was really scared for his mum, I couldn't imagine the terror she must have felt. A gun being pointed at me would have terrified me to my core. I had informed Tristan that we had to go see her the next day to make sure she was coping well. I lay on the couch with one hand on my head and the other on my tummy. I was starting to feel stressed out and worried a
Tristan Pov "How dare he treat me like I'm less of a man! I care for my mother." I shouted out loud at Emma. I was really upset. I sat on the stairs with my hands on my face. I looked at Emma then closed my eyes to think. ''Tristan please calm down. Let us go to your mother now and talk to her. We can all figure out something that doesn't involve Clarke." Emma told me as she rubbed my back. I got up and pulled her in for a hug then I kissed her on her forehead. I grabbed my key for my car. Emma opened the front door and we both left the house. On the way to my mother's house, I couldn't stop thinking about what Clarke said. I should have been there with mum but I wanted to be here with Emma. I had to come up with something that doesn't separate me from my mum or Emma. Emma may have seemed calm but I knew she was upset. I saw that her face looked a bit sad. I didn't want to be away from her.
Emma Pov I felt like the days passed by really quickly. One minute we were home, the next we were at school then we were wondering how to get by without having to deal with our problems. All I wanted this year was to be happy with my friends, fall in love with a cute boy and party the hell out of my high school days. I sat in the cafeteria staring at everyone. How did I get here? I kept asking myself that damn question. I wanted to be home in bed. I thought Tristan cared for me but it took one disagreement for him to walk out. He left, to God knows where never came back or called me. I thought his tantrums would have eased up when we made things official but I thought wrong. I couldn't even eat my lunch. I got up and walked straight out of school. Ditching one day couldn't hurt. My test results were great so I had nothing to worry about. I decided to go see Crissy at the hospital. I needed to talk to a friend
Emma Pov Five days later, I was standing in front of the mirror wearing a black dress, black heels and white pearls. Crissy liked pearls, she said to me once that pearls made the simplest things look elegant. I wore a blue ribbon on my hand because that was her favourite colour. I wanted something to remind me that she was with me. I stared at myself in that mirror as I reminisced everything about Crissy. "Emma honey, are you alright?" My mum asked, startling me. "Yes, I'll be fine. It hurts but I'll be okay." I turned around to look at her. "Come, your dad and Tristan are downstairs waiting for you." She said as she held her hand out to escort me. I really did not want to see Tristan. He left me, then he so happened to come back the exact same day Crissy died? I haven't spoken to him since I left the hospital. I came home that day and cried myself to sleep. He came home an hour later drunk. He tried to ask
Tristan Pov During the funeral, I tried my hardest to keep my cool. Crissy was gone and there was nothing I could do about it. Life sucked for most of us. Receiving the keychain from Crissy's mum was touching. I was glad I got something to hold onto. Dealing with my mother's issue and having to deal with Crissy's death took a toll on me, but I was still here. I was basically hanging by a thread. When I left Emma, I had a lot of time to process everything. I decided to support my mother's decision on her love life and I had also decided to tell Emma how I really felt. I told Emma I had to stop somewhere for some stuff. The place was my mother's house. I parked onto the driveway and as I opened the door to come out Emma pulled my suit. "Why are we here? Did you speak to your mum about the issue?" She asked. "Um, yes I did. I spoke to her yesterday, everything is okay now. Still a bit awkward, but I'll manage." I to
Tristan PovI paced my Uncle's office as I tried formulating a plan to get Emma back to me.It had been months since that fucking fool came up to me at my mum's New Year's Eve party. Demanding that he fucking wanted Emma. It played in my mind over and over again. "You there, you seem like a good fellow," Nicholas walked up to me as I stood outside admiring Emma on the dance floor.I raised a brow, wondering who the hell he was. "I'm going to tell you this as nicely as I could and only say this once. You are going to leave Emma. She is mine now." The tall, slender but bulked-up man stated with a lot of fucking confidence.My nose flared up and my body started boiling. What the fuck was he blabbering about. "Who the fuck are you calling yours, like hell imma give you my girl!" I sized him up, he was only about two inches taller than me."You don't have a good ear, I said I'll only say this once," He lifted his shirt to the right, revealing a silver Glock-45 gun stuck at the side of hi
Emma PovEarly the next day Mrs Daniel delivered a message along with a fresh pair of flats, denim jeans and a black hoodie per my request I made the night before. Nicholas had suggested that we have breakfast before we departed.I brushed my hair into a messy curly pony, whatever that is, and then left the room looking at my ass for the final time.Descending the stairs Nicholas stood at the bottom with his phone to his ear."I got the report so I am aware of what took place. That matter would be gone before the day finishes. You know my tolerance for bullshit is low. I have a separate, delicate matter to deal with." He looked up at me with a grin and hung up the phone."Even in the most casual wear, you look flawless. I take it you slept well, I did give you a fantastic night?"I wanted to say something witty but he was right. I did, had a fantastic night even replaying what happened had me drooling. That grey sweatsuit was not helping either.I smiled at him as he stretched out his
Emma Pov"I, my dear am the Head of the Moretti Family, a Mafia well-known in Italy. I didn't lie when I said I did sales because I do, currently the details of that are unnecessary. Tonight I met up with an important client who wanted to do business with me but he happened to have traitors amongst his men. Well it may seem that way, I'm having my men get information for me." Mr Moretti explained. "I should be shocked to hear all of this but I'm not. My rollercoaster of life won't let me be this gullible." I sighed.We entered a large white glistening room filled with luxurious cars. "I'm giving you the Range, which should not be too flashy." He opened a glass cabinet on the wall took out a key and handed it to me."You're casually giving me a Range Rover like it's nothing, okay? Welcome to my life." I spoke sarcastically."Let us head back up and let me show you to the room you will be staying in tonight. You will soon meet Mrs Daniel, she will attend to your needs." He was cold bu
Emma Pov My laptop stared back at me as I sat by the kitchen's island waiting for my college admission. Finally, I had time away from school life until I entered College, at least. For some reason, I was not excited about going to college. There wasn't anything to look forward to anymore. My nerves were wrecked by my uncertainty. Mum and Dad stood beside me as the first email came in, I started reading," Congratulations! Ms Emma Johnson," was all I read before my mum started screaming at the top of her voice with excitement. I would have done the same if I had been excited myself. I mean I got into Yale, and I should have been excited but instead, I kept reading. I read about four emails that morning and got accepted at Duke, York and Stanford. Yay me, I guess. I zoned out as my parents congratulated me with hugs. How was I going to tell them that I didn't even know which one to go to anymore? That I no longer have any intention of pursuing the future I wanted? I told my parents t
Emma Pov I sat on my couch with a glass of wine, from the bottle Mr Moretti gave me, in my right hand and my phone in my left. The wine tasted divine and I wanted more. Wine has been a go-to since my life was now a rollercoaster. Two weeks had passed since Victoria made me her girlfriend. I bought at least three bottles of wine that I drank in between Mr Moretti's because I did not want it to finish in one gulp. The relationship between Victoria and I was not clicking as I thought it would. One kiss and I was head over heels for her. That question kept coming up, what was wrong with me? I missed Tristan, my heart ached for him. Everything happened so suddenly, one minute I was in love the next I was drooling in tears and then I was kissing my female friend. I wanted a step back from the choices I made recently so I told Victoria I needed some time to rethink our relationship, if it was truly one. She said she understood and left me to myself. Scrolling through I*******m I noticed
Emma Pov Nervously walking to the front of the crowd, I shook the hands of my team members. My head was spinning, my heart pondered. Why on earth would she pick me? Now it looked like she was pitying me. Everyone knew that Tristan and I had broken up and that he was now with his ex-girlfriend. Was she being genuine or is this a set-up? How could I trust her? I knew that the previous day I had said I would still be friends with her but now I was having second thoughts. I put on a smile and tried my best to thank her without looking like I was going to hit her. Everyone was happy with the decision, and no one looked disappointed at all. Which made me think that I was overreacting. Practice ended early in honour of my selection as captain. "Fuck!" I hit the inside of the girl's bathroom stall, with my butt planted on the closed toilet seat. I needed to calm myself down. My thoughts were only on Megan and the true reason behind her decision to put me as captain. I quickly came out o
Emma Pov Her lips on mine felt weird, but I couldn't find the strength to pull away from her. I gripped gently onto her hair while she slid her hand slowly, up my dress, cupping my ass. It was at that moment I jumped back to reality, "Woah, Um, this is different," I said as I pulled away. "Yes, I'm sure this is not what you were expecting from me but um, did you like it though? How do uhh, my lips taste on yours?" She asked smiling confidently. "It was surprisingly, good but I don't know how I feel about doing it again, it was intriguing," I told her backing away from her, a little. My heart was still pounding and my panties felt wet. What the heck was happening? I've never kissed a girl before and to be honest I think that I liked it. "I'm sorry if I startled you a bit. I've had you on my mind for quite some time and it has been the absolute worst seeing you go back and forth with Tristan, knowing that I was right here to treat you right. It's been hard controlling my urges and
Emma POV I arrived at the party at approximately seven at night. I thought the party would have a few people at that time because it was supposed to start at six but It had a lot of people when I got there. All the boys wore black clothing and the girls wore white dresses. Everyone looked excellent in their outfits. The one that stole the show was Victoria, she looked amazing with her blonde hair out with long curls and her white mini-frilled dress fit perfectly. On my way in I greeted everyone that I knew. All eyes were on me. I looked great but my anxiety wouldn't let the feeling last long. I finally made my way to meet the star of the night, Victoria. "You look fantastic, girl, that outfit is sexy as fuck." I hyped her up. "Thank you Em, you're the best. You look damn fine yourself. I need to dance right now, so I'm going to look for someone to dance with until my boyfriend gets here. Thanks again, for helping set up, I don't know what I'll do without you. Have fun and enjoy
Emma POV A lot has happened since I started high school. I was an innocent, shy confused girl but I had matured. I was flourishing, thriving and most important I was happy. Apart from Tristan's despicable behaviour on New Year's Eve, I had forgiven him for it, I didn't forget though, I was still angry and upset but I loved him and I wasn't sure what to do. Months had passed and all I did was put on a show for the world to see. It felt like I was pretending to be happy with Tristan and I couldn't shake off the feeling. In the final year, I started becoming more popular being a cheerleader, Tristan's girlfriend and being at the top of my class. I even started writing a story about the life of cheerleaders and I sent it to a publishing company and they loved it. News spread about it like wildfire around the school. I went to all of Tristan's games and I supported my friends in every fundraiser they had, so they could raise money for college. I had a memorial party in honour of Crissy,
