"Omg! Today's the performance!" I squeal as Alexa and I walk towards my locker to meet Jake and Andy.

"Ha ha! Good luck. You and Jake have amazing voices so I know you'll do well."

"Thanks Lexi."

I get to my locker and shove all my shit in it happy that tomorrows the start of the weekend. I shut my locker door to see Jake leaning against his smirking at me. I jump and slap his chest in surprise.

"God damn. You fricken idiot!" I tell at him.

"Ouch. That hurt Princess." He mocks me, faking hurt and rubbing his chest.

"Ya right!" I reply.

Grabbing my hand and pulling me to his chest he whispers in my ear, "Good luck today" and releases me, walking away.

I just stand there staring after him in surprise. Alexa's currently making out with Andy so I roll my eyes and walk away. Getting into class I see the most terrifying sight ever as I walk to my seat. Sitting at my desk is Jessica Blake. Jessica Blake was in my class every single year in Elementary school. She's the queen bee at our school. She's basically slept her way through the entire school, and not only the guys but some of the girls to. That's where she gets her popularity from. She's known as the school slut, since she's super pretty she gets all the guys and can basically pull off any look.

She hates me an I honestly just can't stand her. She's just such a bitch. Every time she gets a question wrong in something she'll scream and squeal in the most annoying way. She's in my seat making out with MY boyfriend!!!!

With rage pulsing through me I stomp over to Jake and Jessica, and tap Jakes shoulder. He pulls apart with utter terror.

"Babe?" I ask him in an innocent way.

"Y-y-yes? We-we were just-just-just."

"It's okay babe." I laugh and turn around. Quickly turning back around again I say, "but ya, it's over."

I storm out of the room hearing him yell my name as I run through the halls, tears threatening to pour out of my eyes. I crash into something hard and go flying off my feet and crashing to the floor. Looking up I meet the eyes of my best friend from Elementary school. Jesse!

"Omg Emma I'm so so sorry!" he says in a panicked voice nealing beside me and cupping my face.

"Are you okay?" he asks, concern laced in his voice.

"Ya I'm okay." I reply with a confused look.

Once we entered high school Jesse met a bunch of new people and automatically became popular, leaving me behind. In Elementary school Alexa, Jesse, Andrew and I were best friends. I used to have a crush on Jesse but I got over it since I knew it would ruin our friendship. After that Jesse was always just like a brother to me. After I met Jake it was like he took Jesse's place in our group. With the exception that we were dating and everything.

Jesse used to come over to my house all the time but now, we haven't even had a real conversation in four years. We would exchange hellos in the halls but that was it. Now he's apologizing to me for bumping into me? Wow. I suddenly feel anger towards him.

"What the hell? Your apologizing? Your apologizing? Really? You haven't talked to me in four years! Now your apologizing for crashing me to the floor? Jesse you just left us! You left me!" I sob into his chest, nuzzling my head into the crook of his neck.

"I know. I know, I'm so sorry Emy. I was an idiot, I know!" he pleads. "These past four years have been miserable with out you guys."

"Then why didn't you come back?" I ask, still sobbing.

"After I left I didn't know what to say for you guys to forgive me and take me back. I'm so sorry!"

"You could've just told me. I would've taken you back!" I sob.

"I know that now Emy. Take me back?"

"Always Teddy. Always." I answer, still clinging to him.

That made him smile. My nickname for Jesse is Teddy. When I was seven Jesse bought me an adorable chocolate brown teddy bear with the fluffiest fur ever. I still keep that teddy bear on my bed with me. Whenever I was sad or being bullied I would go to Jesse. He would sit on my bed with me and hold me close as I sobbed into his shirt causing it to be soaked. As I sobbed he would whisper soothing words to me. He always reminded me of a teddy bear so that's what I call him.

"Ready to tell me what's wrong?" he asks.

I'm about to answer when I hear my name being called. I turn around I see Jake glaring at Jesse.

"Get your fucking hands off my girlfriend." he growled, clenching his fists.

I pull away from Jesse and walk over to Jake. "Ex girlfriend Jake. You cheated. Its as simple as that." I reply in a nonchalant voice.

"It's not like that Em!" he pleaded.

"My names Emma."

"You don't understand. She threatened to tell the whole school that you abused her and then slept with her boyfriend. I begged her not to and she said that the only way to stop her was to kiss her. Emma I was stupid! It didn't mean anything, I promise!"

"Jesse?" I ask turning back to him.

"He looks like he's telling the truth Emy. Jessica's a complete and utter bitch. You and I know that more than anyone."

"Okay fine. Oh and by the way Jake, Jesses basically my brother." I answer, turning back to Jesse and telling him to text me.

With that I walk toward the music room where I grab my quite and start practicing the chords to Everything Has Changed to make sure I have it all memorized for later. Jake walks in, grand my guitar placing it on the ground, and starts kissing me. I immediately respond and we stay like that for a few seconds.

Jake pulls away and asks, "will you consider forgiving me and becoming me girlfriend again?"with pleading eyes.

"Of coarse." I reply giving his hand a squeeze.

"So will you be my girlfriend?" he asks.

"Yes Jake. I will be your girlfriend." I laugh.

A huge grin spreads across his face and we start practicing our sing for the performance for the very last time.

1:00 pm-schools gym

It was almost time for the performance and I was currently brushing my hair for the sixth time. I felt warm arms wrap around my waist and I dropped my brush turning around to see that it was Jake.

"If you continue brushing your hair anymore it's simply gonna fall out."he told me with a pointed look.

"Ha ha. I'm just so nervous." I confessed.

"Don't be. We'll kick ass at this."

And with that he was gone, leaving me to fix my makeup and grab my guitar.
We start off with the into, and then I start. Soon Jake comes in with Eds part, giving me a reassuring smile. We sing and play in perfect harmony smiling at the crowd once in a while. As the song nears the end we look into each others eyes and sing. The song finished with both of us singing the last words, ending breathless. The crowd roared in applause, causing us to stand up and bow to the audience.

Thanks guys for reading my story so far. I'm gonna try to start the next chapter tonight. Thanks again!
