Skip and Beau

Chapter 24: You are my One and Only

VAS HAPPENIN'?! It's the second to last chapter :'( It's super duper short because next chapter is when ALL IS REVEALED, if you catch my drift.

*Luke's Point of View*

I ran after Emma. "Jai, stay here. I'll go sort things out."

He had tears in his eyes, and hadn't said a word.

I walked outside to find Emma in her car, which hadn't been turned on yet. She was sobbing.

I got in the passenger seat. "Emma, let me explain-"

"LUKE GET OUT." she screamed. "He's a fucking cheater!"

"NO! He's not Emma! I was there! She kissed him! He didn't know what was happening!"

She got quiet, still crying. "He didn't like her?"

"Of course not, Emma. He loves you."

"I love him too."

"Then go show him, he's in tears, Em. You guys need each other."

She slowly got out  of the car, dabbing her eyes with a tissue as I followed her inside.

"Jai, can we talk?" she asked. "Luke, you come too."

We went upstairs. Jai started. "Em, please let me explain-"

"Luke told me." she said quietly. "I understand."

I sat awkwardly, not speaking unless one of them asked me anything.

"Emma, you know I'd never kiss another girl. I love you. Will you forgive me?" Jai pleaded.

"But what if it happens again?" she asked quietly. "What if you become famous? What if I turn on the TV and all I see is you kissing other girls? Would it be all their fault every time? What then, Jai?"

He kept pushing. "I won't let it happen again. I'll make sure we're apart from girls. We'll have body guards, I'll do anything, you know that Emma. It's hard for me."

"Jai, I don't think you understand. It's gonna be hard for me too. If you become famous, I'm not gonna be able to see you as often, and I'll miss you. I just-" she faded into silence.

"Em?" Jai whispered.

"I just don't think the life you're gonna have fits me. Fame would treat you differently then it would treat me. Your fans probably wouldn't like me."

"What do you mean?"

"I really think we need a break. Friends?"

*Sara's Point of View* A Day Later

I haven't seen any of my friends in days. I feel like everyone I see will either convince me to be with Skip or Beau, or add on to the mess of a life I'm living.

I looked back over the weeks and thought about each boy. Beau's date was so much fun. We could just hang out and have a little fun. But Skip's date was absolutely amazing. He does everything so perfectly, and does it all just for me.

Everything is so fucking perfect.

But with them, comes some things that are hard to forget.

I've really only known Skip for over a month, and we really don't know each other's families, and whenever I'm with him I feel like he's trying too hard for me. And with Beau, I always have a clinging fear. Whenever I'm around him, something bad seems to happen to us.

My mum walked into my room. "Sar, what's wrong? You've been really quiet the past couple of days."

"Mum, you know what's wrong. I've gotta decide between Skip and Beau."
