"We're lost souls finding peace in each other"
-
Willow Edwards is about to turn her life upside down with a move to Colorado, convinced she needs a fresh start (even if it might not be necessary). She's the kind of deter...
"Sargent and Willow are back together! Look what Ruby posted on her story." she cried and showed me the picture of Willow and Sargent with the text #Wilgent on it.
I was happy for Sargent and Willow but seeing Samantha like this for the first time made my heartbreak.
"Hey, hey why are you even crying? You're beautiful Samantha. There's plenty more fish in the sea for you? Besides...I've told you this before and I know you got mad at me but you and Sargent would've never worked ou-"
"But-" she cut me off but I stopped her.
"Listen, would you be happy if you forced Sargent to be with you knowing that he truly doesn't like you? I don't think you would be able to sleep with a smile on your face knowing that there's another woman in your partner's heart. Any man who likes you would be so lucky to have you Sam. I love you and I just want you to be happy but Sargent is not where your happiness lies" I explained and she nodded but her tears didn't stop.
"But I've always loved him Elijah! I-I never thought that there would be anyone other than Sarg" she said and I nodded, understanding her.
"I promise you, one day, you're going to wake up and think wow, I can finally move on. Give your heart some time and you'll get over Sargent. I know this hurts you so much but time heals all wounds. Come on now, let's wash your face and try to smile" I said and we hugged again.
I helped Samantha with washing her face and all. After that we walked into the gaming area and played some games.
"How is it going with Miles?" Sam asked and I chuckled, "It's going very well. He's a bit stressed now because of his dad"
"What happened with his dad?"
"Ah, I forgot to tell you, he recently got lung cancer and he's going through chemo now"
"Oh, wow. That sucks. I hope he gets well" she said and I nodded, "I hope so too"
"HELLO MY BEAUTIFUL SISTER AND THE UGLY BROTHER!" Gray said while throwing himself on the couch.
"Hello, the ugly twin" Samantha said and Gray pouted, "I can't even be nice to you" he said and we all chuckled.
"How is it going with the piano practice. Are you ready for the competition?" Samantha asked and Gray nodded, "I'm the master of pianos. I play those tiles like I play girls" he said and I cackled, "That's the bullshit of the year, you don't even get any girls" I said and he furrowed his eyebrows, "Duh, you don't get any girls either"
Gray had a piano competition coming up that Natasha -his mother- forced him to attend because it's good for Coleman's to attend such stuff. It's dumb if you ask me, she's after more fame than we already have. Crazy woman.
"He's gay you dumbass" Samantha said and threw a pillow at him and we both chuckled at Gray.
"When will dad come home?" I asked them and they looked clueless, "He'll probably be home soon" Gray said and I nodded.
"Let's play some football games so I can beat Samantha"
"Game on" Sam said and they started playing.
Finally, like the old days.

"How can you Sam, a girl win over me in a FOOTBALL GAME!" Gray groaned and I chuckled, "Don't underestimate girls" I said and Gray rolled his eyes.
Samantha reached over and pinched his arm, "OW! What was that for?!" Gray yelled and I was on the floor laughing.
"For never shutting up" Samantha said and put the controller on the table, "Don't tell mom that I played football games with you guys though. You know she doesn't like me doing boys stuff" she said and I rolled my eyes in annoyance.
"We won't say a thing" I said and I heard the elevator sound.
"Dad is here!" I said, like a little excited boy and walked out of the room but dad had already gotten in his office.
I walked towards his office that he always sits in and he was talking on the phone I think by the sounds of the murmuring.
"You can always meet him whenever you want, just tell me when you want to tell the truth to him before it's way too late. He can't know you as Ms.Edwards his whole life"
"Marie, Elijah is not only your son, I've given you the decision from the beginning because you're his mother too but we can't keep this any longer"
"I-I guess you won't need to do that anymore dad..." I said with tears in my eyes and he turned around from the place he stood and his eyes were wide.

Guess, the truth is finally out, poor Elijah *UGLY CRIES FORREAL*
How do we feel about the three siblings connection?
More details about Elijah and how he takes this whole secret will come in his book that I will announce after announcing Samanthas book. Soon.

Have an amazing day and I hope the rest of your weekend is filled with happy moments <3 // D.E
