Ash's POV:
"Yeah, she has been looking depressed. But I'll ask her later." I hear the door open and Frank runs out of the office. "Hey everyone!" I hear Emma say. Finally. She's home. "Bye Jord!" Emma and her boyfriend... always around or not around at all.

I see her walk into the room. "Hai! I got the sleeping bag you wanted" I pull out a box with a blue sleeping bag in it. "Good enough. Thanks" She sits down at her desk. "So you are going to visit Ally?" She asks, leaning back into her chair.

I've been saving up for it. Using the donations I've gotten from streams. "Yeah. I'm excited" I never get to see Ally. It's pretty much a one in a million chance. But we've talked about it for a while.

I guess I should ask her now. "So how have you been feeling?" "To be honest, not the greatest. But I'm doing better." "Arms" she sticks out her arms. Nothing. "Sleeves" she rolls up her sleeves. I see a few.

"Hate stuff. Two weeks ago" "At least not that recent. Left" she shows her left waist. Yep. There is definitely some. "Right" Same. "I just don't know Ash. It's... It's been getting harder to ignore it. They pop up so often now." I hug her. "And all this week except the days they have been here" "Everyone gets hate. It's inevitable. I get hate, Jordan gets hate, Tom gets hate, every. YouTuber. Ever. Gets. Hate"

I hear Hailey and Rachel walk in the door way. They also hug her. Tears roll down on her cheeks. "I'm going back in two weeks. Just for a week, though" I nod. They are leaving in 3 days. So am I. Stay strong Emma. As normal as that sounds, stay strong.

"But does he..." Asks Rachel. "Yes. Jordan knows." She tells us about what happened this morning. Explains the sadness in her eyes. But she does look a little happier when she talks about Jordan.

"Well that saves you trouble if he decides to go with you. And make sure to pack the dress and all your stuff" I remind her. "Yes I know. You are probably going to remind me anyways. Since I leave the day before you come back and stuff." "Yeah. I just don't want you to forget anything important."

"So you wanna play?" I ask her, folding my arms and giving her the one eyebrow. She puts on her headphones. "Bring it"

We play a best of three in the Syndicate Games. Rachel watching Emma and Hailey watching me. At the end, I win with one heart left. "I win" "Damn it"

Emma's POV
The week has ended sadly. Hailey and Rachel has to leave us. And Ash will be out of town. I hug Hailey. This week has been pretty fun. We went shopping at Hot Topic, blared music, got yelled at by neighbors of course, played video games, streamed, and just anything and everything.

The announcement for her flight comes on. "I'm gonna miss you Hailey. But I'll make sure I can come to you. Or you can come to me. But make sure to call me! And text me! And Skype me! And everything else!" I say

"I'll make sure I do. Bye guys! And tell Jordan I said bye!" She walks into her gate.

We walk over to Ash's gate. She says bye to Rachel and things. Then she walks up to me. " Don't try while I'm gone ok? I'll make sure we call you." "Don't worry, I won't. And I won't mess with your things either" We hug and she goes.

"I don't want to keep saying good bye." I say. "I don't either. But I can just call and text. And I'm only 2 1/2 hours away so I'm not far." She hugs me and I help her get her things in the car. "Bye Em. I'll call you later!" "Bye! I'll make sure to visit you soon!" We hug and she drives off.

Now it's just me. Left alone in the apartment. I clean up the mess that's happened. Then I hear a knock at the door. "Hey Emma!" says Sonja. Sonja! "Hey! Let me guess, you got my address from Jordan?" "Yep" "I just had my two friends leave and my roommate leave so I'm alone for a week now." We talk for a while.

Turns out that Sonja is about to move to LA soon. So I have a third friend in town! And a boyfriend of course. "So how have you and Jordan been doing?"

"Pretty good. It feels like there is another person I can trust in my life now. And also I'm trying to convince him to come with me to Louisiana for two weeks. Except he is meeting my dad. Which he better be careful with him. I don't need to see another one of my dad's 'I must always make sure you are safe and away from a stupid idiot' things. He never trust anyone I date. But he should like Jordan."

"Yeah I never was guarded like that. But Tucker of course is completely trust worthy." It feels good to have a person to talk to while everyone else is away. Sonja is the best kind of person to talk to.
