            "Emily, stop this," I demand.

            She looks so fragile and the tears forming seem to make my heart ache even more. I want to turn away, but I just cannot, I keep staring at her.

            "I'm sorry," she whispers as she wipes away the incoming tears. I hate to see her cry, but I cannot stop watching. Her cheeks tint crimson as I continue to stare at her and remain silent at the same time.

            "I just thought that maybe-" she began, but this time I interrupted.

            The guilt was just too much to handle. I want to push away all this stress and ignore what is going on in reality. I have to deal with my ex girlfriend who I cheated on, but she never knew. I can't hold that in anymore.

            "I cheated on you when we were dating," I blurted out.

            Emily's eyes slowly widen and she tried to speak, but the words only ended up getting caught on the end of her tongue. She struggles for words, but she just ended up crying more and wiping away more tears.

            I can feel Vanessa's glare from across the room. I stand up and face her, "You can find another pawn in your game with Harry, but I'm not going to be one. You lost your blackmail to me."

            I start to walk towards the door, but Emily finally speaks up, "What are you talking about."

            I turned around, "Vanessa invited me over here to try and get me to get Harry to date her again by using my cheating story against me."

            "Vanessa?" Emily whispered. Vanessa just rolled her eyes and shook her head, "I don't want to be involved in this, I'm getting out for a little. You two can have a fun little argument."

            She walked out of the room and now I was alone with Emily.

            "Emily, I'm really sorry that I didn't tell you earlier, I just really loved both you and Jo and couldn't make up my mind. Jo was beginning to realize that she didn't love Asher anymore and I just couldn't resist her."

            "Was it because I wouldn't have sex with you?" Emily whispered. I quickly shook my head and walked back to Emily's side, "No, Em, that's not it. I only kissed her..."

            "I can't believe I kissed you when you had your lips on her!" Emily sobbed, hiding her face in her hands. I hated to see her in this condition, "I'm really sorry! I should've told you earlier, but I just didn't want to lose you! I loved both you and Jo, and in the end I realized that I was more in love with Jo... I'm really sorry."

            "Sorry isn't going to change the past," She whispered, not looking up from her hands. She pointed to the door, "Get out of my dorm."

            "Emily, please-" I beg.

            "I said go!" she yelled at me. I take one last look at Emily, who is still glaring at me before exiting the room. She doesn't bother to say anymore as I exit the room.

            The hallway is filled with college students, so I try and keep my head down, but it doesn't pay off. I accidentally bump into someone and they recognize me, "Are you Niall Horan?"

            "No," I muttered and pushed past the girl. She gave me an annoyed look and walked away. I didn't bother to apologize, I just hurried away from the college students and out to my car; I needed to get back to my house.
