I can't even believe it

I can't even believe it. The two months that we finally do the exchange between me and my mother. I don't know how this is gonna turn out.

Me and Ares have become super close and I don't want to leave. I would love to stay with him. I have never felt so much love from anyone like I've felt these past two months.

I can't believe it's coming to an end. Especially since Christmas is so close. Just 2 more days.

I grab my things from the closet and begin to slowly fold my clothing putting them in suitcases. I'm really going to miss this place. I'm going to miss him. I'm going to miss Rose, Nico, and even the douchebag Cole. They were like my second family. They made me comfortable, well except for the pervert guards.

As I continue packing I hear a knock on my door and wipe my tears before I let whoever is out there in.

"Come in" I say as I sniffle hoping it doesn't look like I've been crying.

"I don't wanna go." Eve says opening the door then closing it behind her.

I look at her and nod in agreement since my body won't allow me to talk. I think I'm in shock. This place has been amazing, and now we have to go.

"You know my feelings for Ivan were getting replaced by Nicholas, the way he spoke to me, gave me comfort that my parents never did. The way he always made sure I was oka-" her voice breaks and she bursts into tears

I always knew Genevieve had a soft spot for Nico, but I didn't think her feelings for my brother got completely erased by him. Not that I'm mad I love that her feelings aren't for my brother, but dang she would've been my sister in law.

As soon as I see her break down I look at her and break down with her. She comes up to me and wraps her arms around me and cries into my shoulder as I wrap my arms around her doing the same. Never in a million years did I think this would've gotten so emotional for the two of us.

As we stand there crying there's another knock at my door. We both stop hugging each other and look at the door wiping our tears from our face. I continue to fold my clothing and put it in the suitcase as we both say

"Come in"

There it is. The two guys. Ares and Nico, standing before us.

"Have you girls been crying?" Nico questions as he walks up to Eve lifting her chin up with his hand.

We don't answer. I continue packing not making eye contact with Ares because I know the moment I make eye contact with him I'm going to break down again. I just can't stand to look at him if this means goodbye. My brother would never allow me to date Ares. I mean, they stopped talking after Ares found out I was part down worlder.
