His Choice Forever

Chapter 18

Emilia's P. O. V

I decided to go out for a run because it was so boring staying inside the apartment. Beth has been

going to school so and I can't say its okay cause its being not. I haven't talked to Scott ever since the

attack at the company and I don't plan on talking to him anytime soon. You sure? Okay maybe, I miss

talking to him but still, what he did is unacceptable. I ran and ran and ran like my life depended on it

and bumped into someone.

"I'm so- Taylor?" I ask surprised to see her by this time awake. A flick of fear passed through her eyes.

"Wh-what are you do-doing here?" She stuttered and I knew something was going on.

"I came out for a run. You?" I ask and check her outfit. She was on black leggings, a black hoodie and

black converses. Why would she be dressed like that by this time?

"Same. Came out for a run." She said but me being her childhood best friend knew she was lying.

"But, why are you running this way? Your house is the other way." I tell her and she tensed up but

quickly masks it.

"It-its none of your business" she says and walks past me making sure to hit me on the shoulder

leaving me confused. She turns back, with a smirk on her face.

"Oh and watch out" she says smirking.

"What do you mean I should watch out?" I ask her.

"Watch. Out" she says and in the blink of an eye, she's gone which led me to thinking. Could she have

been the one who attacked the company? No, it can't be her. Taylor has been my best friend since

childhood. She would never ever do anything like that. I checked time saw it was ten to seven so I

decided to head back to the apartment. I reached the apartment and went in for a shower. Now, I was

fully refreshed. I dressed up in sweats, a baggy shirt and tied my hair in a messy bun ready to start my

day. I looked at my schedule. Hmm, let's see

Wow, what a fun day.... Not. I was about to leave my room when I heard some low whispers. I stood

behind the hall leading to the living room and checked where the whispers were coming from. I looked

at the door and found out it was Beth and I saw she was talking to someone, does Beth have a

boyfriend. I am so going to tease her but then something or should I say someone made me to confirm

that she didn't have a boyfriend because the person she was talking to behind the door was Scott and

so I leaned closer to hear what they were saying.

"Beth, come on. Let me just see her." He pleaded.

"Am telling you again Scott. She's not around." She say getting frustrated.

"Beth?"

"Scott?"

"Beth!"

"Scott! Just leave. She's not around for chrissake. Just leave okay" she says this time authoritatively.

"Come on Beth, you know what she's doing isn't fair?" He says and Beth stares at him, shocked about

what he just said which I am also shocked about.

"Fair. What she's doing isn't fair?"

"Yes. It isn't fair."

"You right. It isn't fair. Its dark" she says and Scott rolls his eyes out of frustration making me giggle a

little but not that loud for them to hear.

"Beth, come on. Its not fair." He says again

"Its fair Scott. It is. What's not fair is when you made her work nonstop for you. What's not fair is when

you played with her feelings. What's not fair is when you used her to satisfy your sexual needs. What's

not fair is when you stood her up on the date and what's not fair the most is when you chose jasmine

over her Scott. Its fair Scott. It is. Now goodbye" she says and slams the door in his face. I was

shocked at what she just did with my eyes widened and my mouth agape as an entrance for flies. She

sighed and turned back but then spotted me.

_"You heard that?" She asks and I nod.

"All of it." I reply and walk up to her then I hug her which she was startled at first but soon hugged me

back.

"Thanks for standing up for me Beth. Your the best little sister ever. I love you." I say and she pats my

back like I'm a baby.

"It okay big sis. I love you too" she replies and I retreat back l and give her a smile. She looks at her

Watch and see its time for her to leave.

"Bye sis. Love you" she says as she open the door and behold there was standing the love of my life.

Scott freaking Ryder.

"Well, I tried. He's your problem now. Bye" she shrugs and leaves. We stare at each other for what

seem like years and I come back to my senses and walk to the door. He gives me a smile, which I don't

return.

"What do you want Scott?" I say, my voice flat.

"I came to apologize Mia. I'm sorry for standing you up on our date and I hope you can find it in your

heart to forgive me." He says and I roll my eyes. I didn't detect any hint of sincerity in his 'apology' so I

just mutter a whatever and start closing my door when he stops it with his leg and I glare at him making

him reply back with a grin.

"I wanted to apologize with a cup of coffee." He says, hope in his eyes. I am not falling for that again.

"No" I say bluntly.

"No?"

"No."

"Come on Mia." He says.

"What about Jasmine?" I say sarcastically.

"Oh she's much better. She sends her regards" he reply with a smile on his face and I just raise an

eyebrow at him. Looks like he didn't detect my sarcasm.

"Well, no" I say again .

"Please Mia. Please" he pleaded.

"Look Scott, I'm n-" I'm cut off by my phone.

"Hello" I answered and there's no response.

"Hello?" I say again but still no response and was about to cut off the call when j heard a faint familiar

voice.

"Mia? Its me Beth" her voice comes out faint and sounding scared.

"Beth? Beth, what's wrong?" I ask scared.

"Mia, I've been kidnapped and I'm sc-"

"Okay, that's all for now" a strangely familiar voice say.

"Who are you?" I ask with the remaining boldness I have.

"I'm your.... Doom" she says and cuts off the call leaving me hanging, scared to death.
