Zach and Emilia walked around the gardens out front , it was very calm and peaceful. Carlos and Rose lived in a secluded area and it was just relaxing.
"So childhood trauma?" Zach finally asked, he got the impression that was the reason she didn't talk and why Damon of all people was super overprotective.
It was very un-damon like.
Emilia stared at him, sensing her discomfort Zach spoke again "my mother isn't the best" he admitted feeling bad he spoke about her.
Emilia gave him a confused look, she took out her notebook and leaned it on the wall to write a response.
How come? Are you okay now? What is your dad like, he's not bad to is he?
"Id rather not talk about how, just she was neglectful, she never hit me and I don't think it was entirely her fault, she had a lot going on. I'm okay now. And yes my dad is okay. I'm adopted you see, that's why I snapped at you, it wasn't about you not being part of the family, it was about me. Family gatherings are always stressful, I keep waiting for my dad to say he doesn't want me anymore or for Xavier to tell me I'm not his brother. Damn I'm sorry I'm going on to much now" Zach explained.
Emilia responded by hugging him. After the hug she then quickly wrote
I'm sorry you had to go through that, yes I have trauma as you loosely put it but please don't tell, only Damon and my dad know
"Oh of course, I'll never tell anyone and if you want to talk we can, wait do you have your phone with you" Zach replied.
Emilia nodded, she didn't like using her phone hence why she used a notebook, it was easier for her too. She hadn't used a phone until about a month ago.
She still didn't think she deserved one or anything really.
"Great, can I put my number in your phone" he asked.
She nodded and gave him her phone.
Zach was quick to put his number in, he paused as a message appeared on her screen
"Um you got a message" he said awkwardly handing it back.
Emilia opened it and saw it was Sophia on the group chat
Sophia
Where did you end up going?
Emilia was confused by this
Emilia
why?
Sophia

Emilia opened it and couldn't help roll her eyes. Lexi had posted a bunch of pictures and had a cringey caption about going out with her family.
Antonio
Oh god, please tell me they didn't take you both to a strip club
Evan
You can't say that Antonio!
Hailey
He's right Antonio
Sophia
You are all missing another point, check the comment section on the post
Emilia was confused so she did as Sophia said and a tiny smile made a way onto its face.
Whoever Lexi's mystery bully was had commented.
It's not professional to bring your family along for a job interview especially if it's at a strip club
"What" Zach asked.
Emilia decided to show him and Zach and as soon as he read it he burst out laughing
"Oh my god, that's amazing" he said laughing.
"I wonder if she knows" he added through laughter.
