"hey Ellie why don't you come have this , I got it personally for you " Erica said showing off a beautiful diamond wristlet at the sight of the wristlet Agatha and Milo gasp
"oh my God it's beautiful " Agatha said wanting to snatch it from Erica but she quickly hide it behind her back and Agatha frown playfully
"give to me I want it please " Agatha said
"nope it's for Elena "Erica said and Agatha hissed and turn to Elena who wasn't moved by all this
"hey Elena have it " she said stretching it over to Elena
"I don't need it " Elena snapped and Erica sigh knowing full well Elena is stubborn so she came to her and held out Elena hand to wear the wristlet on her wrist .
"I said I don't need your gift " Elena yelled and push Erica and she fell down
" Elena " Milo and Agatha yelled and ran to Erica who stared at Elena shocked ,tears circled her eyes immediately as she stared at Elena who was now on her feet .
"w.. w.. why d.. don't .. y.. you want it " Erica stammered an Elena rolled her eyes
" because I don't take things from witches " she spat an this sounded like a loud clap in Erica's ears and she couldn't help but scoff amused by her childhood friend words .

"enough Elena I think it's best if you go home because it seem you have finally air out your jealousy "Milo flared and Elena flinched , she felt hurt as the guy she had always love in secret yell at her all because of one person .
"are you alright Erica " Milo said to Erica who sniff and and nodded innocently with a sad smile . "y.. yes " Erica responded but her voice came out extremely low .. Milo carried her in a bridal style and walk away
