Forgiveness

Destiny's POV

I slammed my door and sat on the edge of my bed as I let out a heavy sigh. I wished Lucas and Emma woul leave our mansion so I could have the peace that I needed. I didn't expect my father to invite them. I was not ready to face my best friend after what she had done to me.

I stood up and went to the balcony of my room. I could hear the laughter of my dad's guests over the mellow music in the background from the garden where the party was being held.

I clenched my fists on the railings and felt the evening breeze tickle my skin. I needed to return to the party, for I was sure my dad would be looking for me, and I had to enjoy it. I sighed heavily before turning my heels and leaving my bedroom door.

My steps faltered as I reached the top of the stairs and found Emma standing at the bottom. She still looked the same, even if she had gained a little weight since the last time we saw each other.
