We're just friends....Right?

Cheater

The world was left with sadness once the six made the news about taking a year long break to recover from the shooting. Billions of fans shared their support, get well and love for the girls especially Ivy who was shot in the arm, leg, shoulder, neck and hand. Zane shared his concerns with the police but they found no evidence tracing back to Darcy. Her lover Daveon, on the other hand, was traced back by one of the hitman's confessions. The hot man who confessed turned out to have a teenage son who is a huge fan of the band and his guilty conscience got to him. So Daveon was arrested and charged but claimed Darcy was clueless of this plan. Once again she is still free, making Zane sick.
One day to Zane's shock, Darcy called him saying she was moving because she was sick of being accused of crimes she didn't commit. This was verified by her father who deep down knew Darcy was up to no good and figured being away will make her forget her obsession. Zane drove by her house and saw the living truck with her stuff in it. "Wow..... she wasn't lying..." he thought as he drove passed. Little does he know it was still a ruse by her and her mother.

Summer finally arrived and despite all the stress, pain, and recovery everything was going back to normal. Today is the traditional first day of summer cookout at the mushroom kingdom castle. Emma was looking forward to the cookout because she had something special planned. Zapella walks down with her hair up in a messy ponytail wearing a black tank, black ripped shorts, and her black and blue high tops. "Sexy as always Z" Emma winked wearing a skull pattern white tank, jean shorts with spikes on the pocket liner and her converse. "Same to you Em" Zapella smirked and smacked Emma's ass as she walked past her. "Oh!" Emma giggles and zips up her small bag. "Hey Z, if you don't mind I'm gonna go on and go. I promised I'd help mom with making drinks before everyone else gets there." She said, "That's fine Em I'll see you there" Zapella smiled and kissed her cheek. Emma does the same and leaves the house. As Zapella was packing up the dirt pudding (Chocolate pudding with crushed Oreos, and gummy worms) she heard a text tone ring from the drawer. "The fuck?" She wondered and opened the drawer. There she saw a phone with a notification glowing on the screen. What it read made her blood boil and a knock at the door will only fuel it more.

Zane grunts as he lifts the freshly made lemonade into the drink dispenser. "So how are things with you and Bonestine?" Asked a woman with long blonde hair and blue eyes. "It's going really well, Peach. I'm very happy." Zane smiled. "That's go—" "BONESTINE!!!!!" They turn and see zapella storming up to Bonestine. Knuckles sees the rage in his daughter's eyes and knew she was about to do something but it was too late to stop her. Bonestine turns around and was knocked to the ground. "WHAT THE FUCK!" He yelled looking up at a fuming Zapella. "YOU TWO TIMING, GIRLFRIEND STEALING FUCK! AFTER ALL WE DID TO HELP YOU GET WITH ZANE YOU AND EMMA GO BEHIND OUR BACKS?!?!" She screamed and Zane felt his heart drop as well as Emma. "WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!" Bonestine yelled getting up only to get punched again but with pictures. "THAT!" She said. "Z! Bonestine and I aren't doing anything behind you and Zane's backs!" Emma said. "THEN EXPLAINED YOUR SECRET PHONE WITH MESSAGES!" Zapella shoves the phone into Emma's hand. Emma looks at the phone with a genuine confused face. "I... I never seen this phone..." she said. "Yeah right!" "Zapella calm down!" Bonestine said and she turns around then slaps him. "Don't tell me to calm down! I have never felt so betrayed in my life!" She yelled. "Zapella, sweetie something isn't right about all th—" "OH SHUT UP MOM!" Zapella yelled at her mother. "Ok I heard enough..." knuckles said and storms up to his daughter then grabs her arm, and drags her to a chair then forces her to sit down. "I don't care if you're 24 years old, you are completely out of line! So shut up and keep your fucking ass on that chair and fucking listen! UNDERSTAND!" He yelled and zapella shuts up. This is the second time her father ever yelled at her; the last time was when she was 13. "Now then YOU TWO BETTER HAVE A GOOD EXPLANATION!" He snapped. "Knuckles, Zapella, Kat everyone I swear Bonestine and I aren't cheating or anything!" Emma said on the verge of tears. Zane picked up the photos that zapella tossed at Bonestine but he didn't look at. He sees them and his gold eyes widen. "Katherine was right...." He said and grabbed their attention. "These photos are fake...." Zane said. "What the fuck are you talking about?" Zapella huffed but shuts back up when her father glared at her.

"Because I was cropped out of these pictures"
