Emma's POV

I ran out of the bathroom in shock. Weston just kissed me. I can't kiss him. No. What did I just do?

I ran down the stairs and stopped at the kitchen.

Why did I stop?

Because the same figure dressed in black standing in front of me 3 years ago was right before my eyes with a knife in his hand, ready to kill me.

"NO! GET OFF OF ME!" I screamed.

"If I can't have you, no one can," he said, lowering the knife. Lower, and lower, and lower.

I screamed.

I opened my eyes and felt sweat rolling down my face. I breathed heavily and looked next to me to see Weston on the top bunk and me on the bottom. He must've brought me in here.

I checked my phone to see it was 4AM.

"Emma you okay?" I heard a voice ask from above me. I looked up to see Weston. His hair was a mess, and I noticed he had no shirt on.

Hot.

"Just a nightmare," I whispered through my breaths.

"Wanna come up here?"

I nod my head and climb up the ladder to Weston. His arms were out waiting for me.

I pulled the covers over me and got close next to him. It wasn't that awkward being around him anymore since he knows all of my secrets now.

"Was it about Jacob?" Weston asked, pulling me closer to him.

I nodded my head.

And here come the tears again.

"I just don't want him to hurt you next," I trembled.

"Who cares about me. He'll never take a step near you."

"Weston, you shouldn't be worried about me."

"But my job is to protect you. There, another promise made."

"If he gets you, I'm going too," I said.

Then, I guess I fell asleep or something because I didn't hear what he said after that. I just felt him put his arms around me.

   Weston's POV

  Today was a great/terrible day.

  Bad news or good news first?

  Bad news? Okay.

  So Emma tried to kill herself because of my supporters. My fans, the people who have supported me from the start. I just don't understand why they would hate on Emma.

   And I wasn't going to let Emma take her life just because of people behind a screen.

  Because that's bullshit.

  Okay, but the good news is I had my first kiss and Emma is asleep in my arms right now.

   She's incredible. I'm so glad we share the same feelings now, because I was scared to death when I leaned in to kiss her- thinking she would push me away or something.

I grabbed my Coco Chanel caterpillar stuffed animal I use as a pillow and rested my head on it.

This was a great night, I thought to myself. Then, I closed my eyes.

Emma's POV

I woke up to the sound of Weston on his computer. I looked down to see him playing Webkinz.

Oh Weston.

"Morning babe," he said.

"Goodmorning," I replied.

I checked my phone and it was 10:30.

"Wanna play Webkinz with me?" Weston asked, giving me "puppy eyes".

I laughed and climbed off the top bunk and onto Weston's lap.

"How'd you sleep?" He asked, grabbing my hand.

"Great because you were with me," I said. I looked at him and winked.

Little did I know this would turn into another makeout session.

He laughed and put his hands around my face and kissed me again. I never wanted him to let go- it felt good.

Maybe even better than Hunter.

I put my legs around his waist as he stood up. Our lips were still connected.

I ran my fingers through his messy hair and untied my legs from his waist.

Then, right when he pushed me onto the wall, someone walked in.

Of course.
