The Story Of Us
Chapter 41
Emily's POV

Date story took place: 10/18/12
Age: 15

I hated Ask.fm with a passion. It's  stupid and pointless receiving random questions from anonymous people, but it was the only way I caught up with drama going on in school.

So for the heck of it, I decided to scroll through it just to see if there was any new gossip.

And sure enough there was, except it was about me.

What do you think of Emily and Caleb?

madisonnn_: Honestly, I think Emily is a slut. While Caleb and I were dating she was obviously flirting with him ALL the time. Please note that she also had a boyfriend at the time.

I shook my head and laughed. "That little bitch." Seven people had already liked and soon so will have the entire school.

"What?" Caleb asked, placing his head against mine to take a better look at my screen.

I flipped my phone face down onto his bed. If he saw that he'd be pissed and would most likely start World War III. I know I promised to tell him everything Madison does, but if I do I think that would make everything worse.

"Nothing." My voice squeaked. Now I'm caught. I can never get away with lying without my voice going high pitched.

"Emily, please?" He asked in a worried tone.

"It's nothing, okay?" I gave him a small smile.

"Well if it's nothing, then why don't you tell who this supposedly bitch is?" He laughed.

I cocked my head and tapped my chin, pretending to think.

"Eh, I think I'm good." I nodded my head.

"Eh, I think you're not." He smirked.

I leaned in closer towards him and I pushed his hair out of his eyes. Trying to distract him, I pressed my lips against his.

"Nope," he said, shaking his head and pulling away. "I know what you're doing, Emily."

I rolled over on my back and sighed.

"Please show me." Caleb pleaded.

I stared at the ceiling a little while then handed my phone over towards him, without glancing. He wasn't going to give up.

"Emily, you promised." He was upset when he read what was said.

"I know I did but I'm fine. Really I am." I sat up and looked him in the eyes. "I what to get through this myself."

He sighed and shook his head. "She lied and called you a slut and," he refreshed her page. "Twenty people have liked in the past thirty minutes. I'm afraid they'll all believe her when none of this is true." He showed me my phone.

"C'mon, Caleb. Emily Matthews, straight A student, perfect student that is all of a sudden a slut? Who's really going to believe that?" I ask.

"I guess," he fumbled around with his hands. "I just don't want you getting hurt." Caleb looked up at me.

I gave a small laugh. I grabbed his face and brought him towards me, kissing him. This time he allowed it. I pulled away and placed my forehead against his.

"Please don't worry about me. I'll be okay." I whispered.

He gave a slight nod and I smiled.

"You know I love you more than words can explain?" I asked.

"I know." He smirked. I playfully pushed his head away.

"I'm kidding," he says, rolling over towards me and gives me one last kiss.
