Out Of The Darkness

New House, New Couples, New Life

February rolled in fast ad the quickly changing group began to settle down. It was a few weeks since Elton had asked what was going on, and although he wasn't happy that there were fights going on, he did his best to help all of his "children." Through all of the drama and changing relationships there's a lot to cover, so let's begin.

Gemma now lived with Beatrice and Sam, well temporarily until she could find her own place in the busy city of LA. She was the babysitter to the now two month old Delilah Lane and Sam finally got used to having Gemma around. His back was now healed for the most part, but he still walked a bit slower but had no need for the brace or cane. Beatrice was able to finally get back to her passion, photography, and was hired as Sam and Colby's official merch photographer.

Colby now lived alone happily. Deciding to take things slow with Stella, they decided not to move in together. He was actually thinking of getting a dog so he wouldn't be so lonely sometimes. Colby and Jake talked things out and were on good terms, Gemma makes small talk with him but she is still not over the whole breakup quite yet.

Jake and Stella still lived together, but now as roommates and not lovers. Jake was accepting to the fact Stella found happiness, and he even decided to move on by seeing Tara more often. They weren't quite dating because Jake is scared of seeing Kat again but he is happy which is the point. Jake has spent more time on his YouTube channel and decided to start a whole series opening up items from serial killers which proved to be a big success.
Stella finally found a job in a place she rather not be, hooters. But it paid well and she needed to find a job until she can save enough money to do something better.

Maxwell was growing quickly, being 6 months old he now had some motion on the ground. He would rock back and forth which moved him a bit but he was well on the way to crawling. He also began teething which meant many sleepless nights of crying and chewing on anything he could get his hands on. Amara had her work cut out for her to say the least. But she had her amazing boyfriend to help her out. Corey. That's right a blast from the past the two decided to give things another go after Amara realized she still had feelings for him back in January. But that didn't throw Mike out of the picture. Mike was the Gemma of the house and was known as the babysitter for Maxwell when either of his parents would be at work or doing something. Mike became an uncle to Maxwell and couldn't have been happier that Amara was still in his life in some fashion.

Amara, true to her Nonna's request, used the money that she had left Amara to buy a nice bigger house on the outer skirts of the city, but a gated community so it was safe. She worked for a magazine company now as both an interior designer and clothing designer. She didn't quite make her big break yet but she never gives up trying! Corey reconnected with the boys and has been helping them with videos for the most part.

"Stella get up, breakfast is on!" Jake called from the kitchen.

"God did I mention how much I hate this job?" Stella asked walking out of her room in her Hooters uniform.

"Only a few hundred times. Now come on eat these pancakes before they get cold." Jake ordered putting a stack of pancakes on a plate and put it on the island in front of her.

"I'm going to be late I don't know if I can-"

"No I don't want to hear it eat now so you don't collapse in a place like hooters cause god knows what would happen to you there." Jake said as he put the pan in the sink.

"Ok dad." Stella rolled her eyes and sat down.

"Plus your ride is late." Jake pointed out.

"Two minutes late." Stella laughed looking at the clock on the wall. That's when there was a knock on the door.
