The walls were closing in around her, a teardrop left her eye, the black and white plaid tiles were forming odd shapes as the whole room started spinning. It was whirling in circles, changing direction every time; it was going faster and faster until the only thing Mia could see was blackness. The note was still hovering at the end of her fingerprints, but she was no longer standing up, her knees couldn't hold her any longer, and she collapsed to the floor still staring into the emptiness. Her hands were as cold as the tiled floor beneath her, but the tears gushing down her face made her hot and even dizzier. Her hands and knees became numb as the melody Henry sang to her last night kept playing in her head. She closed her eyes, trying to focus on her breathing, but a bang on the door startled her.

"Mia, you okay?" Anya's loud voice buzzed in her ears. She tried to cover them because of the constant banging and screaming pierced through her brain. But it wasn't long after when Freya's voice could be heard as well, softer but still too loud for her. She brought her knees on her face, wrapping her arms around herself as she let out a silent scream. Freya and Anya's voices now became more distorted, and Mia suddenly felt nauseous. Lifting the toilet seat, she vomited, and she quickly cleaned her face. Now everything became clear to her, her head was no longer pounding, the walls had stopped spinning, and her friends' voices were no longer piercing through her. She looked down on the floor where the note was laying, she quickly scrunched it and put it on her back pocket, quickly looked at herself on the mirror wiping the residual tears and she opened the door. As soon as she stepped out, both Freya and Anya embraced her in a firm hug.

"Are you okay?" The raven-haired woman asked her as she softly brushed Mia's hair. "Did you pass out? We couldn't get a hold of you in a while." Anya was concerned, as she cupped Mia's face, thoroughly inspecting it.

The redhead gave her a faint smile "yeah, I must have, I also got a bit sick" she rubbed at her stomach "must have been the food." She hated lying to them, but she couldn't have them worry.

The older man stepped in, giving Mia a bottle of water which she gladly accepted and started gulping it down. "Sounds like a pregnancy to me. I know how's that like, I've got five kids." He declared with a smug smile. Mia almost choked on her water, as the girls widened their eyes in surprise, expecting an answer from her.

"I'm not!" Mia comforted them "I'm on contraceptives."

"Oh, I never trusted that stuff, they mess with your hormones, and you're such a young girl to be messing with them." he stated disapprovingly. "The quicker you get off them, the better.'' He raised a warning finger at her before he disappeared to the store.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Freya asked warmly. Mia nodded before she took another sip of her water. "And you're 100% sure that you're not pregnant?"

Mia, this time did choke on her water, covering her mouth as she coughed "you need to stop asking me that when I'm drinking you know!" They all snickered before the redhead continued "I'm not." She wasn't so sure. But she did a good job making the girls think that she was. She couldn't remember getting her pills yesterday, but she tried not to worry as she had enough on her plate already.

The girls made sure she got home safely, and they only let her alone when they saw Henry and Kal at the threshold of the door, with worry written all over his face. He and the big furry ball ran towards them, embracing Mia in a hug and mouthing a silent thank you to the girls.

"I'm fine Hen." she gave him a faint smile, slightly breaking away from the hug.

"You passed out! That's not fine. You could have hurt yourself somehow." He babbled as he started examining her face and arms for any possible injuries.

"Henry, I'm fine. I didn't hurt myself." She repeated, now trying to sound more serious.

He looked at her with his usual intimidating face "why did you pass out then?" he cocked his brow up in confusion.

"Maybe I'm getting sick or something, I did get quite wet yesterday to be fair." She cocked her brow up smugly as she wrapped her hands around her middle. Henry narrowed his eyes at her, clearly not believing her, but he leaned down, picking Mia from behind her knees as he put her on his broad shoulders.

"Well, if you're getting sick, I must take care of you then." he mumbled as he walked through the door, Kal behind him at all times. He gently put her on the sofa, as Kal jumped on it, instantly cuddling with her. "Stay." Henry ordered both of them; not as they would go anywhere, but he needed to feel that he had the authority. He quickly ran upstairs to get a couple of blankets and some more comfortable cushions. Getting back in the living room and seeing Mia petting Kal and softly playing, he couldn't help but smile to himself before he covered Mia with one of the blankets and made sure she was comfy. He went to the kitchen and put some milk to boil as he picked up two mugs.

Mia's favourite was a light green one that said Cool Story Bilbo along with some elvish writing on both top and bottom; she got it during her trip in New Zealand a few years ago, and she has been using it ever since. Henry's was a bit more simplistic, it was a plain black mug that changed colour with heat, and it revealed the whole fellowship. He put some cocoa powder in the mug along with some marshmallows before he poured the steaming milk into them. He stirred it enough, so he didn't see any more bulges and then added some whipped cream on top along with some sprinkles. Smiling to himself, Henry got back in the living room and placed the mugs on the coffee table and turned on the TV and before diving under the cabinet looking for the Fellowship Of The Ring Extended Edition. He thought it was only fitting because of the mugs and also because it's something he knew Mia loved and honestly so did he. They hadn't watched it together yet, and he was so excited about it finally happening. Finding the DVD Henry put it on the DVD Player and ran towards the sofa, wrapping himself and Mia with the blankets as he gave her, her cup and got his. When the redhead realised what Henry had put on, she let out a squeal and kissed him on the cheek. They both got comfortable, and Mia spent the majority of the three and a half hours cuddled up to Henry, his big arms never left her side. Even though she enjoyed the movie, she couldn't help but think about the second note and how that mysterious person watches her every movement; not only did they know where she lives but all her hanging out spots as well. The overthinking made her tired, and not to mention that she had a rough day as well, Henry's big soft arms and their favourite movie calmed her down. Henry's scent of mahogany and leather-bound books drifted her to sleep. Henry didn't notice that the woman beside him was sound asleep until the movie finished. He looked to Kal who was watching his every move "has she been asleep for long?" he whispered to the big furball, and he replied with a quiet bark and a slight nod of his head. "Let's get mummy to bed then, she had a rough day." On that cue, Kal jumped down from the sofa looking at his human, who was picking up the red-haired woman bridal style as softly as he could so he wouldn't wake her up and led her upstairs.

Mia was the first to wake up, she felt a weight on her feet and looking down she saw that Kal was sleeping between her and Henry. Next to her, the curly-haired man was sleeping peacefully; his mouth was slightly agape as he was lightly snoring. She always did find that both adorable and funny at the same time, so she couldn't help but slightly chuckle at herself. Her moves were slow as she tried not to wake up both of her boys, Kal only changed position but didn't wake up. She got on her tiptoes and silently closed the door behind her as she got downstairs and got to the kitchen, she also closed the kitchen door as she put some Two Steps From Hell on her speaker. Waiting for the filtered coffee to finish, she made some pancakes and diced some fruits. She also squashed some orange juice and nibbled some chocolate before filling Kal's bowl and putting everything on a tray to go upstairs.

She opened the door as silently as she closed it, but this time she left it open so Kal could go downstairs to eat. She placed the tray on her bedside table and softly got on the bed. She started gently kissing Henry's stubbled cheeks before she pecked his nose. Henry let out a small sigh, and he smiled to himself but didn't wake up; instead, he turned to Mia's side expecting some more kisses. Mia giggled to herself and cupped Henry's face, gently caressing it. She tucked away some of the curls that were falling on his face before starting kissing him again.

"Time to wake up." she softly whispered in his ear before slightly nibbling his earlobe. That's what woke him up, he grunted and wrapped his massive arms around her, bringing her closer to him.

"Good morning beautiful." He mumbled in the nape of her neck before planting a soft kiss on her collarbone.

"Good morning gorgeous." she kissed the top of his head and played with his curls. Kal woke up shortly after and started jumping on top of his two favourite humans, needing attention. He started licking Mia's face, and she started giggling because he wouldn't stop, Henry started scratching his ears, trying to distract him, but it was a lost cause.

"Kal, stop!" she tried to mumble through her laughs, and the dog immediately complied, gently sitting on the bed. "There's food on your bowl, run!" she continued straight after, and the fluffy bear just stormed downstairs without giving them a second look. They both laughed as they heard his paws scratch through the wooden stairs quickly. Henry grunted as he pulled Mia closer to him, burying his face on the crook of her neck again. His breathing started slowing down, and Mia quickly noticed. "Hey, don't go back to sleep, I've made breakfast." She pouted, and Henry quickly shot up at the sound of food and gave her a childish smile.

"Where is it?" he asked cockily as he sat up, resting his back at the headboard. Mia smiled as she got the tray from the bedside table and rested it on his legs. "Hmm, not anything that I haven't made already.'' he laughed snarkily.

"If you don't want it, fine, more for me." She raised her brows at him, acting fake hurt and getting the tray from his legs and placed it on hers.

"No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was joking. I love you really; you know that." He mumbled quickly as he started planting apologising kisses all over her face and neck.

"Hmm, whatever." she still faked being hurt as she fed him an orange and wrapped her hands around her middle, trying to seem upset.

"Oh, come on. You know you can't be mad at me." He looked at her with puppy eyes before he grabbed another piece of orange.

"Oh, I love proving you wrong. Watch me." She cocked her brow at him in a challenge. She tried not to talk to him for the rest of the breakfast, but sometimes it was so hard not to laugh at him, because he kept giving her those puppy eyes that he knew she loved. But she did manage to suppress her giggles and didn't talk to him, not even when they went downstairs. She went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, while Henry was on the phone with his agent. She continued her playlist to where she had left it off earlier in the morning when she heard Kal running and barking at the door, which meant the mailman was outside. Mia heard Henry calming him down and saying thank you to the man on the door. Mia continued with her dishes when she heard Henry coming closer, still talking on the phone. He patted Mia's back, and she turned around to face him, she saw that he was holding a letter, so she wiped her hands on a tablecloth, narrowed her eyes at the man in front of her and grabbed the letter quickly from his hands. Henry quietly chuckled and left, pacing around the living room.

Mia opened the letter and saw the usual newspaper letters filling the paper, her hands started trembling, and she tried to make sure Henry couldn't see her.

I see that you haven't said anything to our dear Henry, good. Cause if you do, bad things will happen. Also, don't even try to say anything to your darling friends, I'd hate to see anything happening to them. You have two weeks to break up with him and get out of his life. If you don't, I'll make you regret it for the rest of your life.

Her breathing started going quicker again, but she heard Henry's footsteps coming closer, so he tried to pull herself together; hiding the paper in her back pocket. Henry walked into the kitchen with a massive smile on his face. "Guess whos gonna be playing Sherlock Holmes." He asked rhetorically as he opened his arms wide.

"You!" Mia taking advantage of his wide-open arms jumped on him in a hug. Henry wrapped his arms around her so he wouldn't fall.

"And you lost!" Henry replied with a smug smile.

"Did you do that on purpose you little..." Mia tried to fight him off and get off his hug, but Henry wouldnt let her, and he couldn't stop laughing.

"No, but it was a great way of making you lose." He winked at her, gently putting her down.

"I'm proud of you." She pecked his nose, but she was still acting mad at him.

"But, I'm going to be more like a secondary character. The main protagonist is Millie Bobby Brown." Mia's eyes widened.

"THE Millie Bobby Brown? Stranger Things' Millie Bobby Brown?" She couldn't believe it.

"Yeah, why so excited about it?" Henry chuckled at his girlfriend's response.

"My sister and I would always watch Stranger Things whenever I was coming back from my trips. It was our quality moment and needless to say, she loves Millie. She's going to be so excited when I tell her." Mia clapped her hands joyfully.

"Ah, I see. So when I start shooting should I tell her to give your sister a call?" He answered sarcastically.

"Do you want her to have a heart attack? It's better if you just send her a video or whatever." Mia wrapped her arms around Henry's waist, giving him her best puppy eyes. "Pretty please?"

"You know I can't say no to you." He rolled his eyes, planting a small kiss on Mia's forehead. "But I gotta run by the agency to sign all the paperwork. I'll be back in an hour alright?" He cupped her elbows, and upon seeing her nod, he pecked her lips. "We watching The Two Towers when I get back?" He asked her as he picked up his phone, car keys and wallet.

"Hell yes! I'll make some food." She continued as she walked behind him, seeing him to the door.

"You still lost." He mumbled and gave her a peck so she wouldn't stay mad. "Love you, and I'll see you later."

"Be careful!" She shouted as he was going towards the car.

"Always." He shouted back as he opened the car door and got inside, leaving shortly after.

Mia closed the door and got to the kitchen to get her phone. She got on her favourites contacts and found what she was looking for. Moving Hormones was the nickname Mia had given her sister years ago, when she would always get extreme mood swings because of her hormones, and Mia and her stepdad would always make fun of her. She dialled the number, and she felt like it was ringing for ages until she finally heard the familiar voice.

"Sup, bro?" Her sister's voice sounded cheerful on the other end of the phone.

"Wazzup? Where have you been?" Mia tried to sound as cheerful but also worried.

"I had exams; you know how I can be when exams are near." By now they were talking in Greek.

"I feel sorry for your roommate mate." Mia chuckled as she remembered how her little sister could be during exams. Her anxiety was over the roof, and everything bothered her while she wanted to eat all the time. It was like she was pregnant, but she wasn't.

"Bold of you to assume that she was even near me when I was studying, I wanted to kill her. I didn't think anyone else could be more of a party animal than me. But she was bringing a different guy every night while I was studying, and I couldn't hear her faking her orgasms all the time. So I told her to piss off until these exams finished, and then we could fake our orgasms together. Cause it was unfair that she was the only one having fun." Demeter pouted on the other line, and Mia just shook her head. Her sister was always so outgoing and a party animal, the exact opposite of Mia. She would always wonder how they could be related by how different they are, but that was the main reason why she loved her.

"How did the exams go though?" Mia chuckled.

"I passed if that's what you're worried about." Demeter laughed at her big sister's worry.

"Well good, cause I got some news that I wanna tell you." Mia sat down on the sofa while Kal joined her.

"Ooooh, spill the tea sis." Demeter said that in English because she always loved that phrase.

"So you know how I'm dating Henry, right?" Mia wanted to tell her the news slowly, for one because she knew Demeter hated it but also because she didn't know how she would react.

"Superman Henry, the one my roommate keeps masturbating to. Yeah, I think I know him." Demeter answered sarcastically, trying to suppress her chuckle.

Mia just shook her head and giggled. "Well, he got this new role where he's gonna play Sherlock Holmes."

"So?" Mia's little sister sounded uninterested by now.

"Well, he's gonna be more like a secondary person, and the lead is Millie Bobby Brown." Mia mumbled quickly and excitedly.

Demeter choked on the water she was drinking. "The Millie? Eleven-Millie?"

"Yup." Mia couldn't contain her smile by now.

"Tell him to giver her my number! Actually no. Tell me when he's gonna be filming so I can sneak in and become her new best friend!" Demeter was hyperventilating, not being able to stop talking, her excitement was taking over her.

"If you do that you're most likely to get a restraining order than her number." Mia chuckled while Demeter sighed.

"Ugh, you're no fun Mia, what's life without a little risk?" Mia could tell that her little sister was smirking through the other end, but a knock on the door pushed her off her thoughts.

"Well, better be safe than sorry." Mia replied to her sister as she got off the sofa she was sitting on and made her way to the door, but Kal pushed her aside, sprinting towards the front door and barking.

"Hey I gotta go, gotta answer the door, talk to you later." Mia stood there motionless for a second, a bad feeling in her guts didn't leave her to hang up the phone. "Demeter?"

"Yeah?"

Mia gulped "Love you."

"Ew, cringe, see ya later." Demeter giggled and hung up the phone.

Mia gently smiled to herself as she put her phone in her pocket and then held Kal by his collar, making sure he won't run away as soon as she opened the door.

"Good morning, that's for you." the mailman chirped as he handed Mia some parcels and letters, and leaving straight after.

Mia closed the door behind her and saw that most of the parcels were for Henry, she assumed that it was the parts for the Pc he's planning on building. She left everything by his desk and took a look at the letters. When she noticed the familiar handwritten latter.

She gulped loudly and opened yet another letter.
