Bad Boys Make Good Boyfriends

Proposition for Chase Harrison and Happily Ever Afters

XI
+Emma Griffon+

I'm running down the hall when I crash into someone. Hands wrap around my waist as I brace for impact with the tile floor.

"Easy there.", The person says as they pull me up. I look to see Cameron.

"Sorry.", I say wiping tears away the my palm.

"Are you okay?", He asks concerned.

"Well, I got my memory back, but other than that, I'm not good.", I admit.

"What's wrong?", Cam asks leading me to a bench in the hall.

"Chase. He said he loved me last night and today, Tiffany Brookes said that he lied and that he really loves her.", I explain wiping new tears that are blurring my vision.

"She's lying Emma. Sh-"

"She had proof! She showed me a picture of them making out. Tiffany said they did it when I lost my memory.", I say. I stand up and walk out of the school as quickly as possible. I know he's following me, so I speed into a run and head down the street and to my apartment. I slow down and walk to the skate park. I climb a tree and think about Cameron's words, Tiffany's threats and Chase's lies.

I've been avoiding Chase for the past three days. Today is the big International High school Soccer Championships. I didn't think Chase would actually go through with what I said. I was freaking bluffing! What did I do?

The next morning, I get out of bed and take a shower. I get dressed in a pink flowy dress with a thin yellow belt and yellow flats. I put on Alex and Ani bracelets. I curl my hair and put it in a pontytail, leaving a few prices out in the front.

My phone buzzes and I check my texts:

Chase: R u gonna b there 2 watch me lose

Me: I'm gonna be there. I want to believe you, but everything points to you

Chase: Yeah well... im telling the truth

Me: I don't know

Chase: U will wen i lose

I feel horrible. I was going to say he didn't have to, but he walked away before I could tell him.

"Liv! Can you drop me off at the soccer championships?", I yell to her.

"Can't! Triston...date...me...café!", I could make out a few words.

"Fine!", I shout. I call Jack and thankfully he answers.

"What's up Emmie Em?", He greets.

"Don't call me that ever.", I say.

"Well, don't call me Jacky.", He says back.

"I need a ride to the IHSCs.", I explain.

"One, I'm not your chauffeur. Two, I don't do acronyms.", He complains.

"It stands for the International High school Soccer Championships. Please take me! Pretty please?", I whine.

"Fine. Whatever it takes to shut you up.", He mumbles.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have to leave now if we want to make it.", I say.

"Okay. Be there in a minute.", He says and hangs up.

+Chase Harrison+

"Chase Harrison. Please report to the main office.", Cameron's voice speaks through the speakers. Mr. Anderson nods for me to go, so I get up and jog to the office. Eric and Cameron are standing outside of it and as soon as I make my way to them, they start walking and explaining things.

"We need to talk man.", Eric starts.

"About what?", I ask.

"Emma. Tiffany said you lied about loving Emma and she believed it. Tiffany showed her a photo of you and her making out.", Cameron explains.

"Tiffany Brookes? That psycho I dated last summer?", I ask.

"Yeah.", Eric answers.

"Okay, if I know Emma, which I do, she will be at Green Gardens.", I say.

"Then let's go.", Cam says and with that, we get into our cars and speed off to Green Gardens.

I park in the lot and Eric and Cam do the same. They get out and meet me by my car.

"Kay, she'll either be on the roof or at the skate park. Eric, check the roof. Cam and I will be at the skate park.", I say. We split up and search for Emma.

"Emma!", Cameron yells.

"Bro, do you really think she'll answer you if she's avoiding us?", I state while hitting him in the back of his head. He shoots me daggers with his eyes and rubs his head.

We make it to the skate park and Cam looks in the actual park. I finally see her in a tree looking the opposite direction of me.

"Emma can we talk?", I say looking up. She glares at me and jumps down from the tree. Before I know it, she's sprinting deeper into the complex. I groan and run after her yelling for Cam to come too. Cameron runs ahead of me and catches up to Emma. He picks her up and throws her over his shoulder. She's banging her fists into his back while he's chuckling. I'm laughing at the scene ahead of me as I slow down.

"Emma! We need to talk.", I choke out holding back my laughter.

"As soon as your meat bag friend puts me down.", She spits.

"Meat bag?", Cam asks amused. He puts her down and she straightens out her shirt.

"What?", She snaps.

"Tiffany lied-"

"Yeah, yeah. Tiffany lied. You really love me and you wouldn't do anything to hurt me.", She says mockingly.

"Yes, but I was going to say that the picture you saw was when Tiffany and I dated last summer. We were at Danny's annual summer fling party and we were drunk.", I explain.

"I don't care.", She says walking away. I walk up to her and pin her down. I sit on her torso and pin her arms down with my own.

"Listen to me Emma! She lied to you. She manipulated you. What do you want me to do to prove I'm right?", I ask.

"The soccer championships are this weekend right?", She asks calming down underneath me.

"Yeah?", I say skeptically.

"Lose them.", She says.

"Chase you don't have t-", Cam starts, but I cut him off.

"Fine."
