kiss me in the moonlight
Mia was still at Emily’s still, thinking about Jen. She wanted to be with her. No matter what happened. That was her person and she knew it. Even questioning it sounded stupid. She knew it in her heart Jen was her person. No questions asked.
At Emily’s Mia sat in her kitchen, questioning if she should go after the love of her life. No longer pretending, or if she should just sit there. Emily was already at Jen’s with the boys, even with Jen there. Mia called her usually expecting her to pick up. Emily was in the boys room so Jen couldn’t hear them. ‘Emily, do I get her back?’ she said on the phone with a shaky voice. ‘I say listen to your heart, don’t spend one moment not thinking you don’t deserve this or that you don’t deserve her, because you do’ Emily said, reassuring her, ‘thank you’ Mia said, sweetly. ‘Now go get your girl.’ Emily said without hesitation.
In that moment Mia got up, grabbed her car keys, and got to Jen’s house. Not waiting one moment to say how she felt. Not holding herself back from what she deserves, and what she wants. Mia knocked on the door and Jen answered. ‘What are you doing here?’ Jen asked, Mia immediately walking inside. ‘Can we just stop pretending?’ Mia said, not holding back even for a moment. ‘Because I’m getting tired of pretending like I’m not completely in love with you, like my heart doesn’t skip a beat whenever I see you or that I forget how to breathe when I’m around you, that I don’t wake up every day expecting to feel you next to me, that kiss didn’t mean nothing. I miss you, I miss the boys more than anything, I miss when we were a family.’ Mia said to Jen. Not wanting to say anything that she didn’t feel. After the party girl Mia became, even losing herself and dying her hair pink and then dying it back to blonde, she found herself, she found what she wanted, and what she wanted was Jen. She wanted the family she built back. ‘Shut up’ Jen said, moments before kissing her. The memories of Christmas with the boys, snowball fights back in Utah, Emily getting broken up with by her girlfriend and Mia comforting her, along with every moment they spent together as a family, even on movie nights when Henry fell asleep next to Mia or when they were a happy family came back. But of course Emily, Charlie and Henry were eavesdropping and all said ‘yes’ at the same time happily, Mia and Jen laughed, ‘come on!’ Mia said, telling them to come down the stairs, the boys immediately hugging Mia, ‘welcome home’ Jen said, Emily soon after. They all smiled, happy to be a family again.
