Finding Me - Book 4

"Decision."

I wake up, my eyes snapping open. My curtains are still closed but sunlight slips through the small openings.

Rolling on to my back I stare up at the ceiling. The events of yesterday rush back to the front of my mind. I groan, covering my eyes with my hands.

I'm an idiot.

"Knock knock."

Ma peaks her head through the door before coming all the way in, Momma behind her.

They both sit on either side of me.

"How are you?" Momma asks.

I shrug," I still feel like an idiot."

Ma chuckles," it was pretty dumb to fight Mia."

A groan slips from my lips again and I lie my head on Momma's lap.

"Alex stop tormenting our daughter." She says slapping Ma's arm.

Ma laughs and lies on me.

"I'm sorry for fighting, and disappointing you guys." I say.

"I was more worried than disappointed." Momma reassures.

The doorbell then rings, followed closely by three knocks. Ma gets up and goes to answer it.

Momma runs her fingers through my hair, softly singing, more to herself than me, and I shut my eyes.

That only lasts a few seconds before Ma comes back," there are some people here to see you."

I frown, getting up and going downstairs.

Arms immediately surround me, I'm pulled into three warm bodies.

"You alright?" Will asks, hand on my cheek.

Chuckling I nod," yeah I'm fine, no bruises, just  a scratch under my eye. And an on and off headache."

"My poor baby!" Seth dramatizes, pulling me into his arms.

See we're totally cool now.

I push him away, swatting at his chest," you big goof."

He chuckles," good for you. It's about time you stood up to her. You shouldn't have to take her shit."

"Language." Momma says coming downstairs with Ma in tow.

"Sorry Mrs. Stratton." Seth abashedly says.

Will shakes his head," forgive my boyfriend, it's nice to meet you both, I'm William."

Momma smiles," pleased to meet you."

"Same here," Ma shakes his hand.

"I'm Olivia."

They greet her and then Seth properly introduces himself to them.

"Would you all like some breakfast?" Momma asks.

"We don't want to impose we just came to check on Emerson." Olivia says.

Momma waves her off," nonsense. It's not an imposition and I'm sure Emerson would love for you all to stay."

"Yeah it'd be cool." I agree.

They give in and decide to stay. My moms go cook breakfast and me and my friends sit in the living room.

I turn the tv on, flicking through the channels.

"Okay I have questions that I need answers to." Olivia says.

I raise a brow," the guys haven't filled you in on everything yet?"

"No they haven't so what happened? I miss three hours and you're fighting."
