I woke with a start. I observed the room around me, not aware of my surroundings.

I sat in the ISS classroom. My memories started to flow back to me. I got myself put in ISS in Algebra. I didn't care. But I had to make it right.

My dream came back to me. Every second replayed in my mind like a broken record. I had to make Axel believe that I didn't want to break up with him, it was because I wanted to protect him.

I stood up and ran out of the room, ignoring the calls from the ISS teacher. I had to get to Axel and explain everything.

I ran to the front of the school and into the office. All of the front desk ladies stopped and stared at me. I ran to the announcement phones and picked it up. The ladies screamed at me to go back to class or I would get detention. Of course I didn't listen though.

"Um... Hi everyone this is Emily Winter James. I have a special announcement, but I don't have very long so I'm going to make it short and sweet." I started. I took a deep breath. "Axel Braxton, I love you. I am so sorry for leaving you, I swear I had a good reason. I was just trying to protect you. All of those things I said, I made up. I swear I will explain everything, but please just let me. I love you so much and I know you love me too. Please let me just explain." I said. I took in deep breaths and placed my head on the cold wall.

I heard sniffles behind me and turned to see the ladies crying in their tissues. "That was so sweet." One said. I smiled and walked out.

I walked down the hallway, slowly. I though of what would happen if it worked. Would he take me back? Would he leave me again?

I walked down the hallway and past Axel's classroom. I stared at it for a while then continued to walk. I was about ten feet from the door when I heard it open and yelling coming from the room.

Axel stood at the open door. His expression was confused, yet happy, yet stern. He closed the door and stood their for a while.

"You have some explaining to do." Was all he said. I nodded and nudged my head to the front door. I walked past him and found his footsteps matching mine very step. We made it outside and we stopped on the sidewalk by the school.

"Axel. I swear I will explain, but please, just listen." I started.

"Fine." He crossed his arms and left out a puff of air.

"Okay. When we were at the fair, you remember when you said you were going to use the rest room?" I asked, he nodded. "Well when you were in there, Julian sort of showed up next to me on the bench. He said that if I didn't leave you alone and breakup with you, he said he would kill everyone that I love." I felt a tear stream down my face. I quickly wiped it away and continued. "The day I told you I hated you and never loved you, it felt like I had been stabbed a hundred times all over. Because I love you so much." I finished.

We both stared for a while. I was debating if I should continue or see what Axel would do. But before I could make up my mind, Axel took a step forward. Then another, and another.

He was now an inch away from me. "Emily... I-" he started but stopped himself. He took in and deep breath and pulled me into a hug. "Emily, I've missed you so much." He finally said. He sounded like he was crying a little.

I smiled in his shirt. "Shhh. It's okay, I'm here." I said. He pulled away and his eyes were red and a little puffy. He bent down a little and placed a kiss on my lips. Pulling away, we stared.

I eyed his lips and pulled him back. We kissed for what seemed like forever and I never wanted it to end. I ran my fingers through his hair, giving them a soft tug as Axel kissed me harder.

He placed kissed on the corner of my lip and ran a trail of kisses down my jaw line. Then he made his way to my neck. I let out a moan and felt him smirk against my neck.

"There better not be a hickey there tomorrow." I warned in a slow tone.

"No promises." He said in between kisses.

I chuckled and grabbed his face and moved him back to my lips. After we pulled away, desperate to catch our breaths.

Axel eyed me up and down. "You know you look very hot like that. You look like a true bad girl."

"Perfect for a bad boy like you." I joked.

Axel smiled at this pulled me into another tight hug, as if he would never let me go.

A forced cough was heard from behind us and made us look at the source. Principle Katherine stood not too far from us with a stern yet annoyed look on her face.

"You two follow me. I would like to have a word with you and your parents when they arrive." Principle Katherine turned on her heel and headed though the front doors of the school, expecting us to follow her.

We both let out a groan and I mumbled a few curse words under my breath. I heard Axel chuckle at my words toward Principle Katherine. My cheeks turned a light shade of pink at the sound of his laugh, I missed it so much. I missed him so much.

"You know, we could always make a break for it." Axel tried to be funny with his suggestion. I mugged him with my elbow and laughed.

"Tempting. But where would we go?" I asked.

Axel wore a thinking expression upon his face. "Hmmm... Mexico?" He said with a smile.

I rolled my eyes and grinned. "Okay. How about you call me when you have a better place to go." I patted his chest and walked away.

"What about California? Or New Jersey? Oh, what about Orlando?" Axel called after me as we walked inside to meet our punishment.
