I could hear footsteps approaching. "Charlie just leave me alone, I don't want to see you," I sobbed.

"Emily, it's us," I looked up to see Leo and Jordi coming and sitting either side of me. I just cried on Leo's shoulder and he put his arm around me in comfort.

"Shannon and Brad had to go but they said they'll call you later," Jordi said.

"Okay thanks," I replied. Now it was raining heavily and I didn't have a coat.

"Emily your shivering! Come here have my jacket," Leo said.

"Thank you,"

"Come on, let's get out of here and get home. We will talk about it then," Jordi said helping me up and leading me towards his car. The journey home felt like an eternity. Leo rung his parents to tell them where he was and that he's coming to mine for a bit. Jordi opened up the house as mum, dad and Mel had gone away to Grandma's for a while. I ran upstairs and fell on my bed, crying. All I could think about was why he would do this to me? What had I done to him? My phone kept vibrating more and more with texts and calls from Charlie. I didn't want to talk to him...ever...ever again.

CHARLIE'S POV

God Charlie you've messed up this time. Everything was going perfectly. Why did you have to go ruin it and not just tell her the truth! Aargh! She wasn't picking up any of my calls are answering my texts so I assumed she hates me, I don't blame Emily. I hate me too right now. I had a reason for doing what I did. You may not believe me but just hear me out...

Basically, the mystery texter kept sending texts that just got meaner and meaner. Threatening Emily, Leo, Shannon, Brad and the rest of the Alphadog Family. I just couldn't take it anymore so I replied one day saying:

"Look, I really don't appreciate these horrible messages, it's classes as cyber-bullying! What do I need to do for you to leave me alone?" To which they sent back:

"Meet me at the cinema as some sort of date," they replied. Simple.

"Deal," I text back.

"It better be Lenehan or else you know the consequences,' they threatened.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Claudia,"

Sugar! I knew it was too late to pull out now and if I didn't go, who knows what would happen so I had no choice. I only lied to Emily because I knew she'd get upset and think Claudia's trying to mess with her head. But when Leo, Shannon, Brad and Emily were at the cinema and saw me with her. I knew it was over. Just from the look of hurt in her eyes. I've hurt her and that guilt hangs over me like a dark cloud. Leo was mad at me as well. This didn't help. Also with Jordi being her brother, this would make Overload hate me as well. I'll always remember what Jordi said to me that first date I took Emily on.

"You better take care of her Charlie. If you hurt her, you won't even wanna know the consequence,". I like the fact that Jordi is so protective over Emily. I'll always remember every detail about that first date. From the sunset walk on the beach, to the daisy headband, to the mint green nail polish on her fingers. Everything. And now I've messed up big time. How could I let her slip away like that? Even been together 11months and they have been the best of my life...

Tomorrow Leo and I are performing. That's going to be awkward. I knew Emily was coming because Overload are performing as well and she always supports her brother. We're leaving early tomorrow so I need to get more rest. I tried calling Emily again. Shock it was voicemail. So I decided to send her a text:

"To Emily, I'm so ashamed of everything. Claudia made me do it. If you let me talk to you I will explain everything. I'm so sorry. I'll see you tomorrow and no matter what I will always love you xxx"

EMILY'S POV

Leo was sleeping at mine as he didn't want me to do anything stupid when I was on my own. Just as I was about to go to sleep, I got a text from Charlie.

"To Emily, I'm so ashamed of everything. Claudia made me do it. If you let me talk to you I will explain everything. I'm so sorry. I'll see you tomorrow and no matter what I will always love you xxx"

"Leo, look what Charlie sent me," and I showed him the text.

"That kid can't make his mind up. Just ignore it and we'll see him tomorrow," Leo replied.

"Alright. Night!" I said.

"Night!" Leo replied then I just let sleep engulf me...

We got woke up by Jordi, Joey, Ollie, Ryan and Andy running in and jumping on us. Great.

"Come on get up! We are going to Blair's in an hour!" They all screamed. I buried my head in a pillow. 8am is way too early to be up on a Saturday! Before long, Jordi came up and through the pillow to the other side of the bedroom.

"Wakey wakey! Rise and shine!" He yelled.

"I'm up! I'm up!" I groaned.

"Not gunna lie Emily, but it looks to me like your still laid in bed!" Leo laughed.

"Same difference!" I moaned.

"It's ok Leo mate, the longer she's asleep, the less time she will have to go her hair and make up!" Jordi joked.

"Okay okay, I'm definitely getting up now!" And I jumped up and made a b-line for the showers. Having 6 boys stay over in the house had its disadvantages. For example PRIVACY!

After my shower, I decided on wearing my coral skater skirt with my white Jack Daniels vest top tucked in, leather jacket and beige heels as the gig was quite a formal one! (Outfit on the side😊) I curled my hair into light beach waves and put my floral headband on. Make up wise, I just went natural. Nothing too much.

When I was finally ready (I was the last to get ready) and went downstairs and met up the the rest of the boys. Mum, dad and Mel rang late last night saying that they were staying at grandmas for two weeks more which I didn't mind as I got on really well with my bro Jordi.

"Oh someone looks fancy!" Ryan exclaimed.

"Not really! Jordi told me to dress smart casual so here you go!" I relied quickly.

"I wouldn't talk to poor Emily in the morning. She's not the nicest," Jordi warned.

"She was fine when a Charlie stayed over," Andy commented. That was it! I grabbed the car keys and stormed to the car shortly followed by a apologetic Andy. He got in the car. I was sat there crying slightly. All the memories of Charlie same flooding back and how what he did yesterday. How was I going to face him today?

"Emily I'm really sorry! Jordi hadn't told me what happened until just now. I didn't mean to hurt you, I wouldn't do that your like my little sister. I'm sorry," he said.

"It's alright Fowler, you didn't know. I just have no clue how I'm going to face him today," I replied.

"Can I give you a piece of advice?" Andy asked.

"Yeah sure," I smiled.

"Let the heart do what the heart wants to do," I didn't even have time to reply before Leo, Joey, Ollie, Ryan and finally Jordi came crashing into the car. We sat:

Joey Jordi(driver)

Ollie Me Leo

Andy Ryan

Leo and I shared earphone and just listened to our favourite playlist all the way to the venue. But all I could think about was what Andy had said...

"Let the heart do what the heart wants to do..."

What does my heart want?...
