*1 week later*

This week has been pretty good. A lot of tension between Kristy and Elizabeth, but you could tell they both wanted to say something, just couldn't gain the courage to say anything. Like right now, I'm sitting in the living room with Sam, Charlie, Kristy and Elizabeth, Avi would normally be here but she had some stuff to do at home. We were watching a movie, and I had my head on Sam's lap, while he was playing with my hair. Kristy kept glancing at her mom, and I could tell she really wanted to say something. I sighed and looked back at the movie. An hour later the movie ended, and Kristy ran up to her room. Sam picked me up bridal style and took me up to his room. I laughed a bit, and let him carry me. We got to his room and he closed the door with his foot, and carried me to the bed. He gently laid me down, and went on top of me. He laid his head on my stomach, and I laughed. I started playing with his hair, and talked with him for a bit.

Sam- do you think things will get better with my mom and Kristy
Emily- they have to, they can't live together for many more years and have that kind of tension between them
Sam- yeah. I can tell Kristy wants to say something, she just won't
Emily- I know... they'll work things out, I know they will
Sam- I love you Emily
Emily- I love you too Sam
Stacey- omg no way!!!
Claudia- you two said I love you!!
Mary-Anne- and look at the way they're cuddling!
Emily- why are you guys here?
Kristy- we have a club meeting today
Emily- omg I forgot, hold on I'll be there in a second
Sam- *groan* can't you just stay here
Emily- Sam I have to get up
Sam- I'm comfy though
Emily- *laugh* I know, bubba, but I have to go, I'll be back in a few minutes
Sam- fine

He got up, and I walked over to Kristy's room, where the girls were getting their jackets and scarfs on to go to Claudias. We all got our stuff on, and head over next door to Claudia's house, and we walked in. We all ran up to her room, and sat down on her bed. We were sitting there for a few minutes, until the phone rang. Stacey picked it up.

Stacey- hello, babysitters club... it's for you Mary-Anne

Mary-Anne cautiously went up to the phone and took it from Stacey, placing it by her ear.

Mary-Anne- hello?
Mrs-Delveccio- hi Mary-Anne, it's Mrs.Delveccio, I was wondering if you could watch my kids
Mary-Anne- well... no- i mean yes, im free, but I belong to a club of sitters, I would have to-

Kristy gave her a look and mouthed 'what are you doing'

Mary-Anne- *sigh* what's the address?

Kristy gave Mary-Anne the death stare and mouthed 'wow' and then went to go sit on the bed with the others, as she was sitting on a chair next to the phone. Mary-Anne then hung up the phone and nervously looked at Kristy.

Mary-Anne- I shouldn't have done that...
Kristy- seriously, clients aren't supposed to pick their sitters, that goes against the whole club policy
Mary-Anne- sorry

The girls continued to tell Mary-Anne that she has to stop being such a push-over, and she needs to stand up for herself, to advocate for herself. During this, the girls didn't realize that Mary-Anne started crying.

Emily- guys stop!
Stacey- Mary-Anne, stop saying sorry
Mary-Anne- sorry I'm such a crybaby, and that you guys have to be friends with me, and that I'm such a push-over, I'm sorry!

And with that she grabbed her stuff and ran out of the house. I gave the girls a disapproving look, and ran after Mary-Anne.

Emily- Mary-Anne, wait!
Mary-Anne- what? You wanna yell at me to?
Emily- what? No! I want to tell you to not listen to them. I know they were just trying to help you, and they mean well, but they shouldn't have talked to you like that. Your amazing, and you should know that
Mary-Anne- thank you Emily...
Emily- of course, honey your one of my friends, and I hate when people upset my friends

We hugged and Mary-Anne went inside her house. I took a deep breathe, and walked to the Thomas' and hurriedly went inside. Sam was there and he looked at me. I hadn't put my coat or anything on, so he kinda looked a bit mad.

Sam- Emily! Why aren't you wearing your coat, it's freezing outside?!
Emily- I can't deal with this right now...

I ran up to my room and shut the door, locking it behind me. I laid down on my bed, and tried to breathe. I didn't need this happening right now. I have things with my father going on, Avi convinced me to do this audition so I was practicing lines so much, now the girls are mad at Mary-Anne and made her cry, then Sam was upset with me because I was trying to check on my friend, and didn't throw my coat on before I did. Soon enough I started crying, and then it got hard to breathe. I got up and started pacing back and forth around my room, fanning my face trying to stop the tears, and trying to breathe. I leaned up against the wall, and slid down it crying. I heard a light knock on the door, and tried to be quiet to hear who it was.

Elizabeth- Em, sweetheart, it's Elizabeth and Sam. We want to check on you and make sure you're ok

I let out another cry and didn't listen to what they were saying behind the door. Eventually I heard Watson and Charlie come up, and Watson somehow unlocked the door and the others came in. Sam saw me on the floor and tried to hug me, but I pushed him away and cried into my knees. I heard Elizabeth whisper something, and the boys left, closing the door behind them. Elizabeth sat down next to me, and rubbed my back while I started to calm down a bit. Eventually the sobbing turned into sniffles, and then Elizabeth started talking to me.

Elizabeth- honey, what's going on? You can talk to me... I know I'm not your mom, but I'm gonna try my best and be the parent you never had, but I need you to talk to me...
Emily- everything is just so stressful lately... everything with my dad, then I'm worrying about the audition, then social media and my career, and then the girls got mad at Mary-Anne today because she let Mrs.Delveccio pick her sitter which was, and I quote, 'against the whole club policy' so she started crying and ran out of the house, I went to her and made sure she was ok, and thank jeez she was, but because I was rushing out of the house I didn't put my coat and stuff on, so when I got in the house Sam looked mad at me because I didn't put my coat on, and I told him I couldn't deal with that right now, so I ran upstairs and everything just came crashing down on me
Elizabeth- oh honey... I know your stressed out right now, all I can really tell you is to just take a break with everything to do with social media , and the whole audition you don't need to worry about right now, you still have a couple weeks. I'll talk to Kristy about the Mary-Anne thing, and try to forget about your dad for right now... also I would try to talk to Sam... he meant well, and I think he's just trying to look after you... he really cares about you Emily, I just think he shouldn't have done it like that
Emily- yeah... I guess I'll talk to him
Elizabeth- ok, I'll go get him for you
Emily- thank you Eliza... I really needed to talk to someone... I would normally talk to Avi, but I haven't seen her all day
Elizabeth- yeah, well of course, you ever need me I'm always here
Emily- ok...

She left the room, and a few minutes later I heard another knock on the door.

Sam- Em...

I went over to the door and opened it. I saw Sam there and he looked really worried. I sighed, then grabbed his hand and pulled him over to the bed, closing the door in the process. We sat down and Sam faced me.

Sam- look... I'm really sorry for acting the way I did, I shouldn't have said it like that, I was just really worried and I didn't want you getting sick-

I cut him off by kissing him. It went from a kiss to a make-out, and Sam laid me down on the bed, and got on top of me. We broke out of the kiss, and I looked at him in the eyes.

Emily- *breathless* let's not do this until we're ready...
Sam- *breathless* yeah, I agree...

He leaned down and gave me a passionate kiss on the lips.

Sam- I love you
Emily- I love you too

Oop- that didn't happen
