    Emma's POV

  "Here!" I heard Weston's mom say as she pulled up to the big, white building just ahead of us. I could see Weston looking at me out of the corner of my eye.
"Pick us up at like 11 or 12," Weston said as he got out of the car.
Then, I got out and we walked into the building together.
"You'll love it. I promise," Weston said trying to calm me down. I guess he knew I was really worried. What if I fall? Oh god, what if I break my leg or something??
Calm down Emma. It's gonna be fine.
  Then, I took a deep breath, and walked into the rink with Weston by my side.
        "Ooo, Weston I never knew you had a girlfriend," a tall boy with reddish hair and a hat on teased. Ugh. This was going to be a long night.
     "She's not my girlfriend, she's a friend I made. Chill out Blake," Weston laughed. I could see the pink color rise to his cheeks.
      Weston introduced me to all of his friends. Of course, they all thought we were dating. We all ate pizza for a bit, then got up to get our ice skates.
      And of course, being the innocent, stupid self I am, I couldn't get them on.
      "Need some help there?" Weston chuckled. I rolled my eyes out of embarrassment and could feel heat in my cheeks.
     Weston helped me get my skates on and I watched all of his friends point and whisper.  I even saw Ariel glare at me. Ugh, why did I even come tonight?
      "Ready?" Weston asked after we were all set. I took a deep breath and nodded my head.
   We walked over to the entrance of the rink, and Weston easily got onto the ice while I stumbled every time.
      "I'm scared," I mumbled.
  "I'll be right by your side the whole time."
      "Just stay with me, promise?" I looked into his brown eyes and said. He didn't know how scared I was to do this. What if my sleeve slid up and everyone saw all my scars?
    "I promise."
Then, I got onto the ice and thought about holding the wall the whole time to keep from falling.
    But instead of that, Weston took my hand and skated with me instead.
Weston's POV
  Wow. I can't believe it. I'm skating with Emma Brooks, the girl of my dreams. And I even had the guts to take her hand!
     I could see Mario winking at me in the distance. He was with his girlfriend Ashley at the time. They'd been dating for about 3 years now. Thinking about that makes me warm inside- that's what I want to have with Emma. I want to spend my whole life with her. I know I'm only 14, but I already kind of have my life planned out.
     Every 3 minutes or so Emma would look up at me with her beautiful green eyes that I could get lost in for hours if I could. But why? Why was she so insecure?
     It hurts. It hurts to know that I was the one who caused her to be sad and depressed all the time. It hurts to know that I was actually friends with Jacob.
     "Weston!!" Mark yelled from the other side of the rink. He obviously knew I was daydreaming.
    "ITS YOUR SONG!!"
   Milkshake by Kellis!! This is my chance to show not only Emma but the whole crowd how great of a dancer I am.. ;)
     "Dance with meeee," I whined to Emma. I heard a giggle come out of her mouth. Finally, she's having fun.
      "Okay," she laughed.
My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, and they're like, it's better than yours, damn right, it's better than yours I could teach you but I have to charge,
    Emma, Mark, Blake, Ariel, and even Mario and Ashley joined us to dance.
    Mario and I were twerking on each other (not anything unusual), Blake and I attempted to grind on the ice but that didn't really work.  We were all having a blast. I was so distracted by this dance battle we were all having that I wasn't aware of what was going on around me though.
My milkshake-
         "Weston!"
     "Weston help!"
   Someone was screaming for me. I looked next to me to see that Emma was gone.
    Shit.
"Some guy is trying to kidnap your girlfriend Weston, go do something!" Mario yelled. People were staring at me, giving me dirty looks waiting for me to make a move.
     I looked to the exit and saw a boy carrying Emma on his shoulders. She was looking straight at me, tears streaming down her face.
    Blake and I ran as fast as we could to the boy and tried get Emma away from him, but ended up getting punched in the face instead.
   "GIVE HER TO ME NOW," I said through my teeth.
"W-Weston, help me," Emma cried.
      "You get the fuck off of her right now," Blake yelled. Then, he kicked him straight in the balls and I took Emma as the boy fell to the ground.
     "W-weston," Emma cried. I picked her up bridal style and held her in my arms.
     "I'm right here, baby. Don't be scared, he's gone. It's all gonna be okay," I said, looking her straight in the eyes.
    "C-can I s-sleep over your house t-tonight?" she sobbed.
    "Of course, babe."
And I guess you could say that was the beginning of our relationship.
