Wednesday (on the bus)

Emma's POV

As I climbed up the steps of the bus I suddenly got a nauseous feeling. I knew I had to break up with Brent because of the text, but I just couldn't do that! I just got him back and I can't possibly lose him again! The time we were away from each other was horrible for me; I felt so sad and sorry. But seeing him hurt from me was one of the worst things ever. Once I had saw that, I made a promise to myself that I would never hurt him ever again. So now you see here that I can't break up with him, or I would be breaking the promise I had made to myself.

I walked back to my seat and sat next to Brent.

Brent's POV

I patted the seat next to me and Emma sat down in it. Right then I could tell something was bothering her. But with my luck, I won't be able to get it out of her.

"Hey babe is everything alright?" I asked her showing concern.

"No, not really... and I wish I could tell you, but I can't. " she said as a look of dispair wiped across her face.

"Well maybe you can talk to someone else about it if you can't tell me." I sighed and told her. I scooted closer to her and wrapped my arm around her then whispered one last thing in her ear before we got to school. "If you ever need me, I'm here. Don't worry, we'll get through it together." I saw her look up and give a slight smile, but she ran off the bus right after that.

I don't know if it was something I did to make her act and feel this way, or if it was the mystery person thing still bugging her. Whatever it was, I am going to find out and fix things right away. I cannot deal to see her hurting anymore. And once I find out who is sending these threats to her, I am going to go ballistic on them!

I got through the whole day up until lunch... it seems like everything always happens then. I was sitting down at our usual table and Emma walked towards me with tears in her eyes. But before I could even ask what was wrong, she said to me, "Brent, I'm really super sorry, but I have to break up with you. I'm so sorry! I - I just have to, I love you." Then she walked away and sat down at another table alone. I can't believe this, the girl of my dreams just broke up with me... I thought we were perfect together! I didn't see any problems in our relationship whatsoever, but I guess she did. I just sat there the whole lunch period with a surprised yet sad look on my face. I was too sad to eat and waaaaay too sad to talk, even though I was being talked to. Everybody kept trying to figure me out, I guess that's why she was sad on the bus. And she must've not took my advice in telling anyone else, because none of the guys knew why, and I didn't plan on speaking up just yet. 

Emma's POV

I didn't want to break up with him, but I knew I had too. I would rather stop our relationship for just while than lose him forever from that mystery person. And I guess until we find out who it is, then I'm gonna have to continue to live under thier rules.... It's sad that I don't even have a choice in my own life right now, but I guess it's just the things you do for friends.... right? I barely touched my food today and since I was sitting somewhere new, nobody knew where I was, which was good for now. I don't want to talk to anyone because they will just ask why I broke up with Brent,  but if I tell anyone,  I'm afraid of what might happen to them.

Soon after I finished taking about two bites of my food, I got up to throw it away. I tried not to be much of a notice and avoid as many people as possible, but it didn't work. Sarah was the first person to see me and of course she pulled Matt along with her. As they both ran towards me, I turned around quickly and tried to get away fast enough,  but again,  it didn't work. Sarah shouted my name and they got to me faster than I could've ran off. "What's going on?!" Sarah asked. "It's a long story." I told her, even though it really wasn't.  I just needed a way to stall and maybe get out of telling the truth. "Well, we have time. Just tell us." she urged me to speak up. Don't get me wrong, I would love to tell them and have them help, but I just couldn't live with myself if I was the reason something happened to them. "Come on Emma, if you don't want us to tell the guys, we won't.  But you have to tell someone because whatever it is, its affecting your life and its worrying us." Matt told me. And I guess he had a point, so I gave in, they wanted to help and they weren't going to leave me alone anytime soon, so I guess its worth a shot. "The mystery texter is making me do things every day and if I don't do them, then they will slowly take away my friends..." I said as I watched their expressions change. "Emma, we wouldn't leave you for anyone!" Matt said, but he didn't get it. "No Matt, not like that, but physically take you guys away! I'm to afraid to find out if they meant killing you guys or just keeping you hostage! I know nothing more than that." I said. "Oh..." that's all he had for a response. "So that's why you broke up with Brent...?" Sarah asked me. I nodded. "He seems pretty upset and shooken up from it, maybe you should tell everyone anyways. At least if we all know, we can expect it coming right?" Sarah told me. I kind of agreed, but I still couldn't let them take them away from me. So I refuse to tell anyone else. "No! I can't lose any of you! So I won't tell anyone else!" I told her.

"Alright, whatever..." Sarah whispered.
