8:15am

Chris

I yawned rubbing my eyes. Damn it, I remember everything she said last night. Arthur knew I was there.

Flashback

I was in the room beside them. I was in the balcony as well when I heard sobbing. I was thinking about what I did earlier. I was about to confront the noise when I saw it was Arthur and Emily. He motioned for me to be quiet and he wrapped his arms around Emily. "Did Chris hurt you again? Tell me. I'll beat him up." He said worried. I smiled and shook my head. I chuckled and he gave me a look. "No, Art. He didn't do anything... I just feel so guilty. I don't regret any of your three, but I regret kissing Chris awhile back. Tom is hurting and I couldn't do anything about it. I just... I just want to say sorry to Tom." She whispered covering her head. Shit! Emily... I shouldn't have kissed her! Damn it! I have Minka already! I... I love you, Emily and I really want to get you back, but it's to soon. I couldn't because I don't want to destroy you. Arthur smirked and wrapped his arms on her shoulders. "Shhhh, we love you, mom. If you want Tom then stay with him, but our twins need a father. It's your decision whether Chris is their father or Tom. I honestly think Tom could be the better father." He said resting his head on top of Emily's. I smiled as he blushed glaring. I put my hands up in surrender. Emily chuckled wiping her tears. I wanted to be the one to do that."You just called me mom." She whispered caressing his hands. "After all those things I said, you concentrated on that?" He asked shaking his head. "I'm so happy! You called me mom!" She exclaimed smiling. I smiled feeling happy for her. Sebastian has been telling me that Arthur hasn't called her mom ever since I dumped her big time."Emily, I was serious though." He said smiling. She sighed kissing his cheek. "I know, love. You made my day already. Let's get to sleep." She whispered standing up and Arthur rode her back.

Arthur came back out. "You heard everything, yes?" He asked as he silently took a chair and sat facing me. I smiled sadly and nodded. I got a chair as well. "Of course I did, Arthur. Why did you let me stay and hear it?" I asked feeling guilty. "Just to see that look on your face is enough. I could've left, but you stayed. I love her, but you don't want to be with her at the same time. Why is that?" He asked raising a brow. I sighed chuckling. "Arthur, yes. I do love Emily, so much... But I can't be with her. It's going to destroy both our careers." I replied covering my head. "You really think she'd let that get in the way of your love? How stupid are you?" He asked frowning. "Arthur, that's not why I did it... I don't want her destroyed at any cost. She's one of the best actresses I had the pleasure of working with. I don't have it in me to destroy it." I replied looking up. "Dude, why are you so scared? Who is this mystery person anyway?" He asked frowning. I sighed chuckling. "Minka." I replied immediately regretting it. "Go to your door." He ordered glaring. I nodded and walked towards my door and opened it for him when he knocked. I closed it and I was met by a punch to the cheek. "Ow! Damn it! What the hell!?" I yelled massaging my cheek. "Shut up old man. She has been hurting because of that piece of shit?" He asked glaring. I sighed and walked back towards the balcony. "Yes, her. Emily has been brokenhearted because of her. She told me a story that I couldn't let the public know about your mom." I replied getting some ice from the bucket and put it in the cloth. I laid it on my cheek.

"Tell me the damned story then." He ordered clenching his fists. "It was recently in her time, maybe 2005 or something... Emily was 21 and she was maybe 22 or 23. Emily disrespected her according to her story, but Emily doesn't remember anything. I knew something was up when the stories didn't match and I did some digging... Emily did disrespect a woman. Emily cursed at the woman for being a bitch... Sebastian told me that he doesn't remember the face of the woman, but he knows that the woman started it." I replied massaging my cheek. "Minka started a fight with Emily? How stupid is she?" He asked smiling proudly. "You really are like your mom. Focusing on one subject in particular. Look Art, my point is that it could destroy her career because she did damage her pretty badly. She beat her up and she has the footage of it." I replied clenching my fist. "Oh... fuck. When you get to actually break with her... It might be to late for you." Arthur said leaning back with his hands behind his head. "What do you mean?" I asked worried. "Tom and Emily are slowly getting closer if you haven't noticed... She is falling for him and slowly forgetting about you. Don't get me wrong, I like Tom for Emily more than you, but... Emily has flaws... Flaws only you would understand. You're the one who makes her really happy, Chris. She loves you, but you scared her for life so winning her back will be hard. I'm only helping you by being like your inside man." He replied smiling. I smiled and ruffled his hair. "Get some sleep, kid. I'll worry about getting her back. You worry about protecting her. See you around." I replied smiling. He nodded and walked towards the door. "Sorry about the bruise, please lie about it... Don't get any ideas that I actually forgave you after you left her before she had my sister and brother... I wasn't lying about Tom being the better father, but she loves you." He said walking out. I smiled laughing. I better get some sleep as well. I walked towards the bed and laid down with the ice on cheek. The pillow is going to be so wet. I stood up and put the ice back in the bucket. I walked back to bed and laid down feeling so exhausted. What a birthday!

End of Flashback

I sighed rubbing my cheek. It stung a bit. I walked towards the mirror saw I had a slight bruise. I fixed my clothes and walked out stretching. Most of us were in the hallway. "Where's Emily?" Scarlett asked rubbing her temples. "Here! Sorry!" She exclaimed carrying a sleeping Kieren. Naomi pulled on my sleeve and smiled raising her arms up. I smiled and carried her. Arthur smirked. "Let me carry him." I heard Tom say behind me. I sighed inwardly as we all walked down. "Do you guys want to eat breakfast?" Emily asked. "Yes!" Jeremy exclaimed. She smiled and we walked towards the parking lot. "We'll go to my house. I'll cook for you guys, I also have to drop my kids off there." She said smiling. Damn, I can't get out her out of my head now! "Chris?" He asked as we stopped by the van. I shook my head and smiled. "Yeah?" I asked as Naomi fell asleep on my shoulder. "We're waiting for you to get in." She replied smiling. I nodded and got in as Mark was about to go to the driver's seat. "Ah, I'm driving." Emily said grinning. "Riding shotgun!" Arthur exclaimed smiling. "You're still too small, Art." Emily teased. "You wanna bet?" Arthur asked narrowing his eyes. "20 bucks says that if you stand beside Chris, you're until his small then his shoulder and you can't seat shotgun." Emily said raising a brow. Arthur walked towards me and stood beside me. "See, beyond." He said smirking. "No, you're wearing formal shoes with heels." Emily replied pointing at his shoes. "Damn it! I knew I shouldn't have agreed with you!" Arthur replied frowning. I laughed smiling. "Well, you did so go in the back with Kieren." Emily said smiling. "Emily, he could stay in the front if there's another adult, right?" Tom asked smiling. "I guess... No! I'm not allowing it!" She exclaimed crossing her arms. "Sorry Art, you have to stay in the back, you heard her." Tom said sadly. "It's alright. You tried anyway." Arthur said smiling. We got in the back as Tom helped Emily in. "Damn it, he's too kind." Arthur mumbled as we sat beside Kieren. "He's a gentleman, isn't he? Of course he's kind." I replied seeing their hands intertwined as we drove away. Damn it! Jealousy is a bitch. Art and I caught up as Kieren fell asleep.

9:15am

We reached Emily's house and I woke up first. I shook both boys awake and we walked out after the others into Emily's house. "Sorry the house is a bit of a mess." She apologized. "We know." Scarlett replied smiling. "You went in!?" Emily asked as she opened the door. "Well, we had to get Arthur and your twins after all." Cobie replied smirking. "Please don't tell me you went in my room." She said crossing her fingers. Arthur and the twins burst laughing. "S-Sorry, E-Ems. I-I had t-to s-how them y-your closet." Arthur replied between laughs. I smirked inwardly as I remembered the last time I saw her closet. It was pictures of us. I wonder if she kept it. "You literally have a hall of fame for men in there. Tom Hiddleston is the top guy I think. If my memory serves me right, it was a picture of you and Tom looking at each other and fireworks were the background. Then there's a picture of Emily and Chris in the beach so that makes him the second guy on the hall. James McAvoy is the third and the picture is him and her posing like total weirdos. The next was.... Michael Fassbender! The picture was a stolen one I think. He had his arm around you and you were giving him a disgusted face." Scarlett said smirking. "What he said was disgusting alright! I mean who wou-" She was cut off by a man behind all of us calling her. "Emily, you wouldn't want them to think badly of me or you would we?" He asked smirking. "Uncle Michael!" Arthur exclaimed as he ran and hugged him. I raised and brow and turned to see Emily walking towards him. "Whatever, Fassbender. What are you doing here, hmm?" SHe asked corssing her arms.

"Not very ladylike, is she, Tom?" He asked smirking. "It makes her even more adorable, Michael." Tom replied smirking. "Oi, answer my question old man." She said raising a brow. "Alright, fine. James who is still in the car asked me to ask you if we can hide by your house since some paparazzi are after us." He said smiling. "Fine, fine! Geez, tell me first why the paparazzi... Get James out of the car now. All of you get in the house." She ordered glaring at a man. I frowned and put Naomi down. I walked towards Emily and recognized the man. "Oh, are you two together again? Or is this guy like your candy man." He said smirking. "Hey, watch it. Why are you here anyway?" I asked glaring. "Oh, you really are her candy man." He said smiling. "I'm not her candy man nor am I her boyfriend. I'm just a close friend who happens to know what you're capable of." I replied for her. "Ha, really? And who could be the great Emily's boyfriend, huh? She's just a bitch who got knocked up by a guy for one night and ended up with kids. Who would fall for he-" Paparazzi were everywhere so I had to stop myself from punching the asshole on the face, but I stepped forward so we're face to face causing him to shut up. "Take the high road buddy. Emily wasn't knocked up by anyone. She's taking in those kids because she wanted to help them so don't go bad mouthing her in front of the media." I ordered backing away and taking Emily's hand in mine. We walked towards her house and I gently closed the door behind us. I turned to see Emily crying. "Hey, shhhh. It's alright. Your image isn't tinted." I whispered wrapping my arms around her securely. She smiles, but still sobs on my shoulder. She stops sobbing and gently pulls away from me and I let her. "Thank you, Chris. I really appreciate you defending me and not telling them that... yeah." She said sniffing. "I know, you're welcome. Emily, believe me. I'd do anything to protect you." I whispered fixing her hair. "Go, your guests await." I said smiling and wiping the stray tear away. She smiles and pulls away. I watched her walk away, but she stops midway. "Chris?" She called turning. "Yeah?" I asked smiling. "We're friends, right?" She asked hopeful. I smiled. "Of course we are." I replied a bit hurt, but happy to finally be her friend again. I walked after her and everyone gave me a thumbs up. "Good job, Chris! Who was that asshole anyway?" Jeremy asked frowning. "Asshole Riley." Arthur replied glaring.

Emily

I sighed walked towards Arthur and caressed his cheek. "Shhh, he won't ever hurt us again." I whispered kissing his head remembering what that asshole did to me and Arthur earlier this year. "Emily?" Scarlett asked as Arthur hugged me tightly and buried his head on my shoulder. "Shhh, i-it's alright." I whispered feeling my tears fall as well. Fuck Riley! Chris and Tom would never ever love me again when they find out what that asshole did to me. "Emily, what is it?" Tom asked worried. Arthur sniffed and pulled away. "He... Earlier this year when Emily and I were alone in the house and twins were asleep..." Arthur trailed off letting more tears fall down. "No, Art... Please..." I begged curling into a ball on the sofa. "I have to tell them." He whispered wiping the tears. "Art, what is it?" Chris asked worried. Just then the door slammed opened then shut and Sebastian came out. "Shit, Emily." He cursed walking towards me and hugged me tightly. "Shhh... It's alright. We're all here. No one is going to hurt you." Sebby comforted. I hugged him tighter and screamed into his shoulder. "Arthur, tell us what happened, please." Scarlett begged. "That sadistic asshole broke into our house and... and beat me up badly and... and..." Arthur couldn't continue as he he ran towards Chris and hugged him tightly. "She was raped by that asshole." Sebastian replied with venom. "What!?" Tom asked. I knew it. I felt another pair of arms around me and Sebastian left. I looked up to see Tom rubbing my back. "Y-You're not disgusted?" I asked sniffing. "No! I would never be disgusted of you. I'm disgusted at that Riley guy." He replied kissing me to calm me down. I smiled and kissed him back. I felt calmer and we pulled away slowly. "Can you uhm... guys leave us for a bit? Chris, Tom, James, and Michael stay. Scarlett, get the twins please." Sebby ordered. I laid on Tom as everyone started to leave.

"I asked you four to stay because I want you to protect her. Jensen and Jared already know what happened and are doing everything they can to protect her because that asshole appears there often. We haven't filed a restraining order because then the media would know what happened to her so we have to be her guards instead." Sebby said smiling. I smiled at Sebby and Tom carried me up. Tom walked towards my room as Chris carried Arthur and turned so we three had eye contact. Tom turned a left and the eye contact was over. Tom opened my door and he laid me on the bed. "I'll go get your food, alright?" He asked smiling. "No, p-please. I... I'm scared." I whispered holding his hand. He smiled and removed his shoes. "Alright then. We'll have breakfast when you're ready." He whispered kissing my forehead. I smiled burying my head on his shoulder. "I really fancy you. I-I don't want to lose you." I admitted blushing sadly. Tom chuckled then smiled. He tilted my head up and pecked my lips. "Get some rest, love. You need it. Not even this incident will take away my feelings for you. He hurt, you didn't do it willingly." He whispered wrapping a protective arm around me. I smiled and closed my eyes. "Thank you." I whispered embarrassed. "You're welcome, love." He whispered as I fell into a dreamless sleep.

3:15pm

I woke up to see Tom left, but a note was left beside me.

I'm sorry, Emily. Joss scolded us all for being late and ordered us to go to tapping. Don't worry we lied about why you won't be coming. He says you better be there tomorrow. After tomorrow, we'll have the rest of the week for break... Emily, James and Michael are downstairs if you're worried about being alone. Sebastian went back to his tapping for Once Upon A Time. Emily, you know I wouldn't leave even if it meant losing my job, but the others pulled me away as well. No one is going to hurt you again, I promise. See you when tapping is done!

- Tom

I smiled and got out of bed noticing I was in different clothes. I frowned walking out and rushed down to see James and Michael cuddled on the sofa. I smirked walking cautiously towards the kitchen. Arthur was rocking his head as he read a book. I smiled and sat in front of him. He looked up and removed his earphone. "Are you alright?" He asked worried. "I'm fine, Art. Don't worry about me. Did you eat?" I asked gently rubbing his cheek. It was purple. "I did. Chris cooked. Tom came down and Chris went up to watch over you. We had to pull him out of your room actually." He replied grinning. I laughed at the picture. "Emily, do you want anything to eat?" James asked wrapping his arms around me. "No, I'm fine. I'm just happy you both haven't left." I replied as Michael came in. "Tell me why the paparazzi are after you." I said leaning back. I felt Jack heat up and Michael smirking. "Well, you know those rumors about us being together, yes?" Michael asked sitting beside Arthur. Arthur groaned in defeat. I smirked. "Another 20 bucks is taken from your allowance." I said smiling. "You betted on us!?" James asked frowning. "Let them be, James. We're here to protect them, remember?" Michael asked taking his hand in his. I smiled and stood up feeling my cut rip. "Emily!" Arthur cried as I held on the table for support. "Go get the kit in the bathroom." I ordered pulling my shirt high enough to reveal my cut. "Who changed me?" I asked slowly removing the gauze. "Sebastian." James replied helping me sit. Arthur came down with the kit and quickly got the things I need out. "He did this to you?" Michael asked as James gripped his hand. "Yeah, after he beat Arthur up and... yeah. Doctors said that I could've died if the blade went in three inches further." I replied pouring a small amount of hydrogen peroxide. "Emily, where did you learn to stitch a wound?" James asked throwing my earlier gauze.

"Supernatural." I replied finishing the dressing. "I think I want to sleep again." I said standing up slowly. "I'll help you up." James said putting a protective arm around my waist. I chuckled as Michael raised a brow. "I could just stay on the co-" I was cut off by Michael carrying me gently. "And get a scolding from your brother? I don't think so." He replied smiling. I smiled back and Arthur followed us up. Michael laid me on the bed and Arthur came in laying behind me. "We'll be downstairs if you need us." Michael whispered kissing my forehead. "Don't get anything on the couch!" I hollered as he closed the door. Arthur laughed and we just laughed for a whole five minutes before stopping. "Emily?" Arthur asked. "Yeah?" I asked. "About what you said last night... about still loving Chris." He said a bit nervously. "What about it?" I asked frowning. "What if he breaks up with Minka and asks you to go back to him... Would you?" He asked. I chuckled smiling. "Art, I honestly don't know. If Tom lets me go by then... then I might consider him, but as long as he's there picking up the pieces of my heart then I'm keeping him." I replied blushing. "Well, you sound serious so I won't push, but you know what I'd do to anyone who hurts you." He said yawning. I smiled and kissed his forehead. He was fast asleep. "Arthur Kendall Stan, I love you so much and I'm so sorry for being a bad mother to you and the twins. I'm so sorry you had to see me broken down by two men. Thank you for not leaving me alone all these years. I honestly don't know what I'd do if they take you away from me." I whispered wrapping an arm around him as he turned around and laid his head on my shoulder. I smiled and thought about teasing him later. I fell asleep as well after giving Chris's actions today a thought as well.

5:56pm

"They're so adorable!" A woman whispered. "Shhhhh, you'll wake them up!" A deep voice said. "Please, they're sleeping. Let them be." Tom's voice scolded. "Just one photo." Sebastian's voice said as I heard a click. I yawned and slowly opened my eyes to see Robert, Sebastian, Tom, Scarlett, James, and Michael frozen. Aw, you poor things, I'll pretend then. "Morning?" I asked still yawning. They sighed in relief. I removed my arm around Arthur and started to get out of bed, but he wrapped his arms around my waist. "Where are you going?"He asked yawning. I smiled kissing his forehead. "Shhhhh, go back to sleep, Art. It's my turn to take care of the twins." I whispered smiling. "Uhm... Emily, can you help us?" Jared asked appearing by the door. Arthur let me go and fell asleep soundly. I chuckled standing up. "With what? And what the hell are all of you doing up here in my room?" I asked raising a brow. "We uhm... Michael and I went in to tell you that they came, but you were fast asleep with Art by your side. It was adorable so we watched you sleep then these there came up after a few minutes of us watching you sleep." James replied embarrassed. I chuckled smiling. "Watching me sleep, huh? Aren't you all creepers?" I asked raising a brow. "Not exactly. The boyfriend can watch his girlfriend sleep, yes?" Tom asked smirking. I smiled winking at him and walked towards Jared who pulled me down the stairs. "Slow down! We're going to fall!" I scolded as we stopped mid-way and he kneeled down. "Get on." He said positioning himself. I smiled and cautiously rode on his back. He stood up and we ran down the stairs towards the crying. "Damn, this is hard." Jensen mumbled as Naomi cried in his arms. I chuckled getting off Jared and walked towards them. He looked so worried. I smiled kissing his cheek. "Thank you, Jens. I'll take her now." I said taking Naomi gently from Jensen. Her cries lessened as she hugged me tightly. "Shhhhh, Mommy is here. Don't cry." I whispered kissing her forehead.

She hiccuped and I smiled as she laid her head on my shoulder. "Why were you crying?" I asked as we sat down. "I-I t-thought A-Art d-disappeared." She whispered hugging me tighter. "Shhhhh, it's alright. He's asleep right now. Do you think mommy can cook for you? Take care of you?" I asked smiling. She smiled nodding. I sat her on the stool as Jared and Jensen sat either side of her. "What do you guys want?" I asked as I prepared pans. "Garlic Bread!" Nao exclaimed grinning. I smiled and put the pans back. I prepared the pan for the oven and started to make garlic bread. "You're really an amazing girl." Jensen commented sighing. "Watching it, Ackles. I'm taken." I said smirking. He rolled his eyes as Jared laughed. I placed the garlic bread in the oven and sat in front of the three. "Why are you both here?" I asked raising a brow. "Chris told us what happened. He wanted us to also be here since we know the asshole." Jensen replied seriously. "Words, there's a child beside you." I scolded and Jared actually had his hands on her ears so she wouldn't hear him curse. "Thank you." I said smiling. "Don't mention it." He said smiling and removed his hands on her ears. "You listen to Chris now?" I asked raising a brow. "I know shocking, but this is about you and I'd rather talk to guy who I can win against than talk to another guy way out of my league." He replied smirking. "So what's the deal with Jared 2.0 over there?" Jensen asked as Naomi and Jared played. I sighed smiling. "Jensen, even Arthur is asking, but like I said to him. If he lets me go then fine, but if he wants to keep me... then I'll keep him. He picked up the pieces that Chris broke, Jens. I don't want to get it broken again." I whispered smiling. He chuckled shaking his head. "Some people are worth getting your heart broken over." He replied as I prepared the bread. "I know and... I really want to go back, Jens. I... I you know how I feel about Chris, but Tom made me better, do you get me?" I asked wiping away the crumb from Naomi's cheek.

"You don't have to explain it to this big ball of realism. We understand you, Emily. We just don't get why he'd do something like this to you." Jar replied smiling. I sighed smiling at him. "Same thing I've been asking for five years. He says he loves me, but he keeps hurting me and Tom is right here trying his best to..." I trailed off watching Tom laugh adorably. Jens and Jar turned to see who I was watching. Tom smiled as he caught me staring. He walked towards us smiling. "It smells amazing, what is it?" Tom asked leaning on the counter. "Gawlic Bwead!" Nao exclaimed smiling. I smiled and tucked her stray hair behind her. "What she said." I replied smiling. "Can I taste?" He asked almost pleadingly. "Should we give him?" I asked as Nao grinned mischivously. Oh dear mother of- "You want to see Tom kiss mommy, right?" Jensen asked smirking. I had wide eyes and made an X with my arms and shook my head. "Yews!" Naomi exclaimed smling at me. I chuckled and Tom walked towards me, stopping just a few inches in front of me. He wrapped his left arm around my waist and pulled me close. He smiled and kissed my cheek near my lips. I smiled wrapping arms around his neck. "PDA!" Robert scolded. We pulled away looking his way to see Chris frozen and Robert smirking. "Naomi asked for it." I replied as we pulled away. "I didwn't swee anywthingw!" Nao whinnied. Jensen smirked and Jared laughed. "Your kids are adorable. Maybe I'll bring mine here." He said smiling. "That'd be nice. My twins and Art need more friends aside from older people." I replied smirking. "We're old now?" Robert asked stealing a garlic bread. I slapped his hand and took the piece of bread. "Ow!" He yelped glaring. I smiled and waved it in front of his face. "You have to ask if you want one." I said smiling. Nao watched amazed. "May I pleaseeee have one?" He asked giving me puppy dog eyes. I rolled my eyes and handed it to him. He smiled and ate. Naomi laughed smiling. I smiled as we sat by the table and ate in laughter. Chris was still silent, but Naomi was having a useless banter with James about chocolates. "Dawrk chocolawte is bettew!" Naomi argued. "No, white is!" James exclaimed smiling. "James, don't argue with the kid." Michael whispered and James blushed. "Awe! Uncwle Jamwes is bluwshing!" Naomi exclaimed making him blush even more. Everyone laughed.

8:30pm

"Emily? Can I come in?" Tom asked knocking softly on my door. "Shhh, come in." I whispered loud enough for him to hear. He nodded and walked cautiously towards me. We watched Arthur hugging my loki huggable pillow that Sebby gave. "You have a huggable pillow?" He asked raising a brow. James and Michael left an hour ago and Jared and Jensen said goodbye an hour before that. Robert and Scarlett left after we ate the garlic bread. Chris was with Sebastian taking care of the twins. I touched Arthur's forehead to feel it hot. I felt his neck and it was hot too. "Tom, can you tell Sebby to bring dried towelettes and a small basin of water, please? Arthur has fever." I whispered as Arthur groaned turning on his side, facing me. "Shhhh, you're going to be alright. Mommy is here." I whispered kissing his forehead. Sebby and Tom came up with what I need. I dipped one of the towelettes on Arthur's forehead making him frown. "Mom?" He asked weakly. "Hey, Art. Get some rest. Your head is painful, yes?" I asked as he nodded. I kissed his forehead an Tom stayed with me as Sebby went downstairs. "Do you want me to stay?" Tom asked. I shook my head an kissed him. "You need sleep, love. As much as I want to keep you here, you're distracting me." I whispered blushing. He smirked and kissed me again before leaving me with a hug. "See you tomorrow." He whispered closing the door behind him. I sighed kissing Art's hand and silently walked out.

10:59pm

I woke up feeling a stiff neck. Ow! I sighed stretching my neck. Arthur as fast asleep, drooling on my pillow. I smiled kissing his forehead. I walked out silently and closed the door behind me. I yawned walking down the stairs to hear Sebby an Chris talking. "What are you gonna do now? She's practically fallen for him already." Sebby asked. "I honestly don't know. I know this mess is all my damned fault, but I couldn't leave Minka knowing that I'm endangering Ems." Chris replied frustrated. Can't leave Minka because I'll be in danger? What!? I don't get it! I heard someone got off the couch and I hid behind the fat post. "Bro, it's getting late. We'll talk about this tomorrow." Sebby said after a while and he walked toward the stairs without noticing me. I smiled in triumph as Chris walked towards the kitchen. I walked after hon to see him deep in thought. "What are you thinking, big guy?" I asked getting a glass of milk. "Nothing, just shit about Minka." He replied smiling. "I don't follow." I said raising a brow. "I'm thinking about Minka." He replied leaning on his arm. "Well, you can let her go if you want to stop thinking shit about her." I replied smiling. He smiled as I pushed the glass of milk towards him. He smiled and drank. "Thanks, really. I'm really glad we're friends now. You better go back to Arthur and get some sleep. Goodnight, Emily." Chris said standing up and walking away. What the hell was that about?
