A Shadowing Secret

Paparazzi Need A Life

Emilia POV

I decided to listen to my Ipod instead of staring at the wall. Erase and Rewind by Ashley Tisdale was on. I started humming along with the tune, it was a good song, one of my favorites. When the song ended I decided to turn on the television.

I flipped through the channels until I landed on Teen Superstars. The image that popped up caught me off guard was a picture of Lucas punching Nash.

"What has happened to Lucas?" The annoying perky woman said from the television. "Why did he punch Nash Disano? Let's watch this video of the fight to figure out why." She turned around to look at the plasma behind her. Suddenly the video of the fight popped up.

"My hate for you is worse than my hate for players." Lucas's voice said as I watched the video. His voice scared me still, even though it was done and over with.

"L-Lucas?" My voice shook, something that I completely regret now.

"Look Lucas, you're starting to scare her." Nash's voice seemed even more ruder than before.

"Then leave." Lucas told him.

"I'm afraid I can't do that. You have something I want you see-"

"And you're not getting her."

"I don't want to have to take her from you unwillingly-"

"You won't be able to touch her."

"I'll get her, even if I have to hurt her worse than ever before in the process." That was the last thing said before the fight broke out. I covered my eyes, not wanting to see it again.

"Lucas!" My voice shouted. I looked up to myself horrified. "Lucas!" You could see the tears falling over my eyelids now. "Stop, I beg of you." It showed the fight stopping, then the video clicked off.

"Now who might be this girl they're talking about? Is it the girl in the video? We'll be back after these messages!" The host said. What annoyed me even more than paparazzi is the woman's voice, and paparazzi annoy me a lot.

I turned off the television and sat there. Then it finally clicked. Lucas isn't allowed to see me, and if his mother sees this, then he will probably not live to see tomorrow.

I jumped up and ran to the door, not caring who saw me.

Lucas POV

I was so mad at myself. Not for beating up Nash, that actually made me feel good. The part that makes me mad is how I scared Emi. Her voice shook and she was crying. Actually crying! I expected her to run away when Nash disappeared, but instead she hugged me. I knew it wasn't a natural reaction, because she doesn't hug people. I knew she was scared, I didn't need to be a brain surgeon to know that. I wish I hadn't scared her, but it was done and over with. I need to get over it.

A knock on my door pulled me out of my thoughts. I walked over to it and was surprised, but happy, to see Emi standing there. Her face was a little red, which meant she had been running. Her emerald eyes held a panicked look in them, something I've never seen come from her before. She shoved her way past me and grabbed a chair. She then shut the door, locked it, and stuck the chair under it.

"Emi? What are-?"

"You'll see." She said, cutting me off. Emi turned on the television and changed the channel to Teen Superstars. A replay of the fight with Nash was on the screen. I could only sit there and watch.

I didn't look at me or Nash, I only looked at Emi. She looked even more scared than I thought, which only hurt me worse. It was because I couldn't control my anger towards Nash. Stupid Nash, he just has to get in the way of everything.
