(The next morning *7:45* *EMMA'S POV*)

"Emma" Marcus said gently shaking me. "Yeah" I said sleepily. "Sadly,we have school. You're alarm didn't go off but all of us are awake so we decided to wake you up. Alison picked out your clothes so you won't be late. Don't worry, the clothes are black" he said then kissed my cheek. I got up and went to the washroom, then back to my room. I put on the ripped,black skinny jeans, and loose grey and black shirt Alison set out. Then i put on my black vans and did my hair. I straightened my hair then braided one piece. Then I did my make up. Simply concealer, eyebrows, eye shadow, mascara, and lip gloss. I was completely finished, I put on my book bag and walked down to the kitchen where Dan, Phil, Marcus, Alison, and Darby were.

"Morning guys" I said walking over to the coffee Marcus made for me. "Morning" they all said in unison. I walked over to the table and sat down with all of them. "Emma," Marcus sighed. "Yes love" I said back. "Your parents decided to move out to a new house, but you have to stay here" he said. "Okay" I said. "You may not know this, I've saved money since I was 3. I did extra chores and other thing to raise money. My aunt and uncle Mary and Josh saved money for me since I was born and gave it to me when I turned 15" I explained. "Will you be okay with rent?" Dan asked. "Yeah I have enough. This house is cheap anyway and I never use light so I'll be good with bills and other things. Plus I'm getting a job" I said reassuringly. They all sighed in relief. I just laughed and we continued talking until we had to start walking to school.

We walked in and I immediately heard sounds of disgust. I heard words like 'slut' 'whore'. I was so confused. Then my friend Jacob came up to me, pulling me away from Marcus,Dan,Phil,Darby and Alison. "Em, is it true?" he asked. "Is what true Jake?" I asked becoming more and more worried. "That you're um, pregnant?" he asked with his head down. "H-How'd you know that?" I stammered. "Everyone knows love" he said sadly. "Oh god" I sighed and walked back over to Marcus. "Em, are you alright you look as if you've seen a ghost?" Dan questioned. "Not really. Everyone knows I'm-" I said but Phil interrupts. "How!? Did someone say anything to you? If they did who?" Phil said protectively. "I dunno...." I said. Marcus and the others were shocked. "Ignore them babe" Marcus said putting his arm around me. I nodded. Then the bell rang and we went to our lockers.

Maths: I walked in and still heard the same harsh words. At least Dan was with me. "MY VOTE IS ON DAN" One kid shouted. "NO I THINK IT WAS JACOB" another girl yelled. "It wasn't me!" Jacob shouted. "They're guessing on who the father is ignore them" Dan said holding my hand. They all were yelling guessing over and over again. Then Mr.Lee walked in. "Emma, can I see you in the corridor please?" he asked. Ugh. I thought but then nodded and got up. "What's up" I whispered out of shyness. "Who was it?" he asked. "You're not going to believe me" I sighed. He gave me a look that basically meant tell me or I'll kill you. "Caspar.." I whispered. "Was it your choice?" he asked. I shook my head. "I'm so sorry" he said hugging me. "It's fine.." I whispered back. The rest of that class was very awkward and silent. Dan and I just passed notes and talked a bit. the bell rang and we left. Finally.

Locker Break 2: I went to my locker just to be greeted by 3 popular girls with at least 10 pounds of makeup on, each. They called me the harsh names until Dan said "You idiots with pounds of makeup and hair spray need to go to your locker and leave us alone unless you want to deal with me." They scoffed and walked away. "Thanks D-slice" I laughed knowing only Phil calls him that and he still hates it. He playfully glared at me then opened his locker. I grabbed my history books and went to class.

(Wonderful time skip to after school because school sucks if only we could do this in real life *sigh*)

We finally got home and I tossed my book bag onto my bed. "Well that was fun" I said sarcastically. Dan,Marcus and Phil were the only ones with me. Alison and Darby had to do something at Alison's house. They all sat around me telling me everything was going to be okay, and that we'll make it through high school together. It ended up being 20:00 so we just decided to binge watch the first season of Supernatural. Phil, and Dan were instantly hooked. "SAM NO!" Phil yelled clutching the pillow in his hands. The 'Bloody Mary' episode seemed to make him very tense. "Chill lion, I'm here" Dan said putting his hand on Phil's shoulder. Phil nuzzled his face into Dan's jumper. Marcus and I just laughed at the shock on their face at the season 1 finale. "THE IMPALA!" Dan yelled whilst holding Phil's hand so tightly I was surprised he could still move his fingers.

*MAY BE TRIGGERING. TRIGGER WARNING*

I hated to admit it but the sadness was back. I tried laughing and smiling but I failed miserably. I was to stressed to even consider sleeping. It was 3 AM and Marcus was trying to help me sleep. He ran his fingers through my hair, massaged my back and shoulders, played my music, and even tried whale noises. A lot of it didn't work. Phil and Dan were asleep in the spare room. Thoughts were racing through my head.

I'm living on my own.

How am I going to live alone?

What am I supposed to do?

How am I going to do it?

Am I meant to be alive?

I should have died.

I shouldn't be here.

EMMA SNAP OUT OF IT! You have to stay clean for Marcus, Dan and Phil, Alison, and Darby. And most importantly, I have to stay strong for my baby.

These thoughts kept racing in my mind over and over. Marcus noticed the panic in my eyes. "Baby it'll be okay, trust me. I won't let anything happen to you" he said. Finally I fell asleep.

*TRIGGER OVER*
