"Emma..?" I called, noticing she was no longer in the bed.

I walked over to the bathroom door an knocked softly pressing my ear to the door. I could hear the shower running and her quiet ,but audible hums.

I decided to change my clothes and get into the bed. I pulled the covers up and began drifting slowly. I heard Emma tussling in the closet. I want to talk to her so badly, but I feel like she won't absorb my words. Is she scared to talk to me?

A million thoughts run through my mind when I finally feel her little body wrapped around me.

"I love you.." she whispered, putting me to ease. I finally began to sleep and now I feel somewhat better than before.

••••

When I wake up nothing has changed. We both stayed in the same position all night. Emma groaned as I moved to sit up, her long hair was sprawled across her pillow and face. I chuckled when she tried to remove the hair from her face.

I'm glad I have her, to put up with my needs and worries. She's one of a kind. Even after saying hurtful words she came to me.

I launched out of the bed to retrieve my phone off the patio, remembering I left it there last night. Mother had called me a few times before, but ill just call her back later. When I walk back into the bedroom, Emma sat on the bed legs crossed looking me straight in the eye.

"Something wrong?" I asked, to concerned for my own good.

"No... I- just thought of yesterday"

"Don't..." I was quick to answer. I didn't even want to think of yesterday.

"But..."

"Emma..."I warned.

"No... I just wanted to know if you really were gonna-"

"You know I didn't mean those words, I was confused and angry. I love you, it may not have seemed like it at the time, but you know I do. I'm sorry for everything that happened-"

"Austin it's okay, I'm not mad anymore I just feel different today."

"Did I... uh... scare you yesterday?" She turned her head away from my direction, twiddling her fingers. The air got tense and she let out a deep huff before looking at me again , then the wall.

"I'm not gonna lie to you," she started quietly ", I was I've never experienced you so angry before. It was like a whole brand new side to you that I've never crossed. You were being so harsh, and I thought you were going to hit me..." she said quietly.

Hit her? I would never do anything so cruel to her. Was I that angry? I didn't mean for her tithing that of me. I sat on the bed next to her and made sure she looked me in the eye.

"Emma, I'd never do any of the sort to you."

"I know."

"Don't ever think that way again..."

"Can you drive me home?"

"Sure..." I ran a hand through my hair before walking over to my closet grabbing some sweats and a shirt.

Emma's P.O.V.

It's not like I wanted to leave Austin, I had things to do. I'm happy that we talked but something still didn't feel right. When he dropped me off my parents still weren't awake and I wouldn't dare make a noise to disturb them.

Alex had texted me, to come over and I knew I was in for something- irritating.

I then took a shower , and changed into some regular jeans and a shirt. I left my house and left a note on the fridge letting my dad know where I would be. The walk to Alex's house was peaceful. It was a lukewarm day, best suited for some subtle music from my phone. When I knocked on the door Alex gave me a smile and led me to his couch.

"You wanted to talk to me?" I asked, not stating the obvious.

"Uh yeah... is Austin okay?"

"He's fine."

"Emma, why-"

"Why do you care so much if I get back with him?" I blurt out , pushing his question out the way.

"I... just think that you two should actually take it slow..." he coughed

"You know slow doesn't work for us, Alex." I say scooting further from him. Although he didn't scoot closer to me, his eyes never left mine causing me to wonder exactly why I came over here. "What's the point of coming to your house if you're going to lecture me?"

"Emma I-"

"Oh no no no!" I ramble, swirling my hands in the air. I stood up still holding my eyes on his. "You what?!" I know exactly where this is going.

"I liked you way before Austin did and I just... I couldn't stand to see you with Grey or Austin. I lied about everything, he never slept around with girls or even messed with Cecilia. I... I told him to do those things..." he sighed before sitting back down. ", I was trying to split you two up from the minute he got back into town- I actually thought I had a chance with you since we'd been hanging out over the summer all those days. I didn't know Grey wanted to have a relationship with you, at least a real one. I'm just sorry.. sorry for it all."

"So you were the one manipulating Grey to do all those things- so you could have a chance with me?!" I panicked. None of this makes sense why would he do this I thought he was... My friend and actual friend. "What was the point of it all?!" I stepped backwards.

"I'm in love with you! All the horrible things that I may have done may have fucked some things up between us, but I'm still in love with you. I've loved you ever since you moved into this damn neighborhood, but Austin got to you first..." His arms tightly gripped my shoulders and his eyes begged for forgiveness but I couldn't do it. ",He won the bet" he mumbled.

"A bet?" I spat "Get the fuck off of me!" I jerked away. I spun on my heel , but Alex wouldn't let me go. His hand found my wrist and he pulled me close laying his lips on mine.

It was disgusting.

I felt disgusting.

My hands pressed against his chest to push him away, and I fled out the house. I ran- not even bothering to close the door.

"Emma!" he yelled, calling my name

But I could only run from his betrayal and mine.

Isn't he Austin's best friend, how am I supposed to tell him?! Soon the tears finally came and I broke down, halting my jog to the house.

How could he do this?

( aye! sorry for the big wait I love you! but this one actually took time to put together.
