Emily's POV:

My hands trembled as I sent the text. Why was Jason taking away the best thing that ever happened to me? Harry was the one person who made me feel worthy of living. The one person who knew how to make me smile. The one person who broke me free of an abused life. I cried myself to sleep. That's the only lullaby I ever learned. Once again I woke up in a scream, uneven breaths, and surrounded by people.

(Emily's dream: I sat in my room working on my English when I heard a loud crash come from downstairs. "EMILY!", my mother screamed. I knew what was coming. I didn't even bother to do something. "EMILY YOU MADE ME DROP MY WINE GLASS!" my mother yelled into my room. "I wasn't even down stairs!", I said defending myself. "SO! THE THOUGHT OF YOU MADE ME DROP MY GLASS!" she yelled back. "EMILY, YOUR GONNA PAY FOR THAT!", she screamed while walking towards me. I stared back at her waiting for the hits to begin. Instead of physical abuse my mom, I encountered mental abuse. All the names flowed out of her mouth like a river. Worthless, loser, ugly, fat, bitch, stupid, idiot, nobody.... When she left I broke down. All those names were true.. I was worthless, a loser, ugy, fat, stupid, an idiot, and a nobody. There was nothing I could do about that. I truly was woth nothing. Why was I even alive? I am just a waste of space. Nothing.)

I looked back at the three people who surrounded me. "Emily, are you okay?", Mr. Johnson said with a worried expression. "Yeah I'm fine! Just a bad dream.", I said with a reassuring smile. "Okay dear, but if you need anything feel free to wake me." Mrs. Johnson offered. "Oh I'm fine!", I said once again. "Okay then!", she said while giving me a friendly smile and walking out of my room. "Night Emily!", Mr. Johnson said while following Mrs. Johnson. "Goodnight!", I responded. My view shifted to Jason. "May I help you?" I asked. "Are you okay?", Jason asked with a hint of confusion. "Like I said, im fine, but why would you even care. You took away the best thing in my life.You clearly din't care about me." I stated. "Look Emily, I....", he stuttered. "Save it! I don't care!", I said while turning my back to him. Why wouldn't he just leave. I will never forgive him! Not only did he cheat on me, but he took Harry away from me! I couldn't handle all my thoughts. My eyes started to pour tears into my pillow.

Jason's POV:

I instantly felt bad for what I did. I know that I want Emily back, but seeing her this low and vulnerable hurt. She wants nothing to do with me anymore. At least she used to have some what of a friendly conversation. I wish that I never would have agreed to do what Veronica told me to do. I thought it would help me win Emily back. I didn't know it would hurt her so bad. I can't back out now though. Veronica is watching. I can't afford to be dead. I watched her as she turned her back to me. I started to approach her, but stopped when I saw her back rising and falling rapidly. Her sides shaking. She was crying. "Em, please don't cry.", I said while walking to the other side of her bed. She took one look at me and flopped onto her stomach hiding her face further into her pillow. "A pretty girl like you doesn't deserve to cry.", I said while rubbing her back. "WHAT THE HELL? WHAT ARE YOU DOING JASON? I HATE YOU! DON'T YOU GET IT! DON'T TALK TO ME EVER AGAIN!" She yelled. "Im so sorry!", I said sincerely. "I have heard that phrase one too many times in my life. Just get out now!", she warned.

"I still care Emily! I will always care about you! You are special and I was stupid. I lost that. I lost you and I truly regret that night." I half-whispered. "Bull! If you truly cared you would have followed me to the airport, but you didn't! You didn't care! Do you have any idea how much you hurt me Jason? You lost my trust that day! I believed you when you said you would love me. All I learned was that you didn't love me and it was all an act. An act.", she whispered.

"I'm so sorry Emily! I really didn't mean to! I wasn't thinking. I loved you! In fact I am still in love with you! You just won't forgive me! I didn't follow you to the airport because I was in shock with myself. I couldn't believe what I did to you. What I did to the girl I loved. My love for you was never an act! I truly love you! I want you back Em! I want you! That is all I want! You! Only you!", I whisper- yelled back to her.

"Jason, you don't love me! Please get that in your head. You do not love me! If you loved me, you would have never cheated on me. If you loved me, you would have never taken Harry away from me. Harry cared about me! He was the only one who knew how to make me genuinely smile. You couldn't even do that Jason. He was the one person who made me feel worthy of living." she said as her voice cracked and started crying.

'Em, please don't cry! You are worthy of living. You are perfect! I am so sorry! I really am! I would do anything to gain your trust back. Please.", I whispered wiping the tears from her eyes. "Anything?", she squeaked. "Anything!", I whispered. "Tell Mr. Johnson you lied about Harry! If you do that you will gain my trust. But I will never forgive you", she whispered.

I froze I couldn't do that! If I did that Emily would go see Harry. If Emily sees Harry, Veronica will hire hit men to kill me. I looked back at her face. She looked so sad, so weak, I had to tell Mr. Johnson. I messed up so bad with Emily. I owed her this. I took a deep breath. "Okay.", I whispered while squeezing my eyes shut. 'Seriously?", she whispered as her face lit up. "If it gains your trust back!", I said smiling at her. "Thank you, Jason", she whispered. "It's the least I could do!", I said while staring into her eyes.  "I can't wait to see Harry tomorrow!" she squealed. I chuckled at her cute behavior. "Night Em!", I whispered while pecking her forehead. "Night Jason!", she whispered back.

I walked out of her room and back into mine. I looked into my mirror. I'm gonna die. Was Emily's happiness really worth it? I sighed as I flopped down on my bed. I checked my phone to see the time. I read 3:30 A.M. I yawned and threw my phone on the side of my bed. Just as I shut my eyes, my phone buzzed.

Unknown: I am not impressed. If you admit the truth to your coach, you will encounter your worst nightmare  tomorrow. It's your choice!  - V

I swallowed hard. I hectically looked around my room. How did she know what I told Emily? Did she bug the house? No, she never came in the house. Maybe she bugged Emily's bag? I quietly tiptoed into Emily's room. I looked around her room till a small purse caught my eye. I grabbed her purse and snuck it into my room. I quickly emptied it out onto my bed. I searched through the pile of junk. I threw my hand in my hair. Where could it be? That's when I saw a tiny chip. I carefully picked it up. "The deals off Veronica! Leave Harry and Emily alone!", I spoke to the chip. My phone vibrated and my breath hitched. I looked at the message.

Unknown: You agreed to the deal. There is no backing out. If you tell anyone, Emily's life is in danger. Got it! Now be a good little boy and put Emily's purse back in her room with the chip in the pocket. -V

"Fine!", I spoke to the chip. As I put everything back into Emiy's purse I stared at the chip. I put the chip on the floor and went into my skate bag. This should do it!, I thought. I carefully took my skate out and lined it up with the chip. I sliced the chip with my blade and proceeded to smash it by stepping on it. I smirked looking at the crushed chip. I picked up Emily's purse and put it back into her room. When I returned back to my room I noticed the window was open. I walked in a circle examining my room. "You thought it was that easy, didn't you?", a female voice spoke from behind me. I slowly turned around. How the hell did she get in my room? "How?", I managed to say. "I have my ways.", she smirked. I looked at the door and back to the window. There was no way I could escape. "Now stick to my plan and no one gets hurt!", she whispered. "Tell any one about my visit and my hit man standing outside the window will kill you.", she said with a smile. "Your sick!", I spatted. "I get that a lot!", she said while walking back towards the window. "Sleep well Jason! Oh you may want to close your blinds!", she said with a hint of laughter. My eyes shot wide open. Has she been watching me. I ran to my window and locked it. I pulled the blinds down and slid down my wall. What did I get myself into? I looked around my room. What if she bugged my room? I quickly went around my room and looked through everything I own. I didn't find any chips. I walked out of my room and went into Emily's. "Em!", I whispered. "Mm." she groaned. "Can I sleep in here with you?", I whispered. She opened one eye. "Why?", she asked. "I'm scared!", I whispered as my cheeks grew a shade of red. "You're a strange one!", she giggled as she closed her eyes patting the left side of her bed. I crawled on top of her bed and closed my eyes. I couldn't sleep. I was gonna die! One way or another. I was scared for my life.
