Once In A Lifetime (Sequel to Secrets)

Open To Love

Mia's Pov

I'm so proud of myself I'm finally back to my normal self. I haven't had the urge to get high in a long time. I owe all to Will and the people at the rehab center. They helped me in so many ways. Now when I leave ill be leaving as a different person. I believe in myself and I feel strong. I'm no longer going to let other people control me.

I was so busy in my thoughts, I didn't notice Will sit down next to me.

"What are you thinking about?" Asks Will

"I'm thinking about how happy I am. You make me so happy."

"I feel the same way. I just got out of a bad relationship. Well actually it's been awhile but it's taken me along time to get over her. She's was my first love my everything. Then she just decided I wasn't good enough so she left me for some football player." Says Will

"I'm sorry I know how you feel. I had an awful relationship too. My ex used to hit me and he got me hooked on drugs."

"I guess we've both been in some messed up relationships." Says Will

"Yeah but it's only made me stronger. I don't regret any of my choices. Everything happens for a reason."

"Exactly I know where you're coming from. There's some evil people in this world who will try to take you down. Just keep your head up and you'll be fine. I can't understand how someone can hurt you like that. I promise ill never hurt you Mia." Says Will

"I hope so because I can't get my hurt broken again. I'm finally starting to find myself. I've gone through so much to be so young."

"I'd never hurt you. If you let me ill love you. There's something different about you. When we leave here I hope we can still see each other. I want to be your man if you let me." Says Will

"I like you Will I like you a lot. Since we're getting close tell me all your secrets. I promise you my lips are sealed."

"Okay well I think I know your ex." Says Will

"Who Alex or Rick?" 😳

"Alex he's my brother." Says Will

"Alex never talked about having a brother. As far as I knew he only has a sister."

"They don't talk about me. My mother kicked me out of the house when I was a kid. I was sent to live with my Aunt. My mother hated me. See me and Alex had the same mom but different dad. My dad left us when I was little. She took her anger out on me. She loved Sunshine and Alex more than me since their dad stayed. It's really complicated. " says Will

"You're nothing like your brother. You guys look alike but you act so different. Why couldn't I have met you instead of your brother."

"I wish I met you sooner too. My brother is an asshole." Says Will

"He sure was. I'm sorry to say it but I'm glad he's dead."

"It's bittersweet I love him but I hate him at the same time. Now it's your turn to tell me about all of your dirt." Says Will

"Before your brother I dated a guy named Rick. He was a thug and very crazy. I don't really like to talk about him. He died someone killed him. They never found out who killed him."

"Why do all your boyfriends end up dead?" 😨 Asks Will

"I have no idea maybe I'm cursed or something."

"Maybe so." Says Will

I hope I didn't just scare him away. Why did I have to go and tell him that.

"Don't worried I'm not scared. I don't care about your past. We all got some skeletons in our closet. Who am I to judge you." Says Will

"I find myself falling in love with you."

"Your in love with me?" Asks Will

"Yes I am and I have been for awhile now. I fell in love with you when I first laid eyes on you. I fall for people quickly."

"I've been in love with you for awhile too. Your beautiful Mia and any guy would be lucky to have you." Says Will

"After my last relationship I have a hard time trusting people."

"So do I but we can work on that together. As long as we stay being open with our feelings. Don't hide anything from me and I won't hide anything from you." Says Will

"I agree."

I lay my head against his shoulder. I know my friends are gonna say I'm moving to fast. I've always had that problem with guys. I feel like this could actually work. I'm tired of being the one everyone has pity on. I'm no ones charity case. I'm not telling my friends that I'm getting serious with Will. I don't want to ruin it. I can already hear Mel and Aaliyah's voice now. They hated Rick and they didn't trust Alex. They were right about both of them. Will is different he isn't like Alex.

"Your busy thinking aren't you?" Asks Will

"Yeah I was thinking about my friends back home."

"Do you miss them?" Asks Will

"Not really I have you now. I felt like such a failure around them."

"I know the feeling. To be honest you don't need them anymore. You have me and ill be your lover and your best friend. All we need is each other." Says Will

"Just me and you?"

"Exactly." Says Will

"I like the sound of that."
