Piano Lessons

First day of sophomore year

"Emma.. wake up."  Why...why, why must you want to wake me up, I think to myself. I pick up my phone and text Jack; "Can you come and pick Elliot and myself up?" I wait a while until I hear a beep. "Of course babe<3"  Omg, he is so sweet- so I tell him exactly what I thought. "<3" 

I get out of bed, and look at different outfits I could wear for today. I have three options:

A light green spaghetti strap dress that hangs a little bit above my knees, with knee high brown cowboy boots.  A bright pink knee high dress with black shoes. A dark blue floor length summery dress with white running shoes. Mmmmm... I like the green dress the best.  I get my dress on as fast as I can and began curling my hair. "Elliot!" As if on cue, he comes running into the bathroom. "You hurt? You okay? What's wrong?" Such a sweetheart. "Everything's fine, get dressed quickly. Why, might you ask? Jack is coming to pick us up." He gave me a disgusted look.  "What's with the face?" "Mm? oh.. um nothing. I'll be downstairs. Cute dress sis." And he's gone. 

Time: 7:35AM

I run downstairs and grab a waffle as my breakfast and ran outside to Jacks car- Elliot was talking with him furiously and then slammed the door. I walk to the car and go to Elliot.  "Elliot? Is- is everything okay?" I ask with a weary smile.  He looks at me and shakes his head and mouths 'Later'.  I nod my head obediently and get in the car.  I manage to get out a few words. "So, Jack, how's Milly?" All he does is nod his head. I wonder what went wrong... Did I miss something? 

Time: 8:11AM

We get into the school and I find my best friends. I kiss Jack on the cheek- but then he grabs my waist and kiss me hard on the lips. Elliot comes towards us and gets in-between us. What the hell is his problem? "Elliot! You are making a scene!" He looks back at me and then to Jack. "You stay away from my sister you jackass."  "Elliot!" I run up to him and grab his hand. "What the hell is going on??" I sobbed for a bit and fell to the ground. He turned around and knelt beside me. "Em... He cheated on you with his ex-girlfriend..." My eyes widened. I got up and ran to Jacks locker opening it up and taking all of his pics of me and everything that belongs to me.  As I turn to leave I see Jack coming up to me. I can't meet his eyes- I just can't. How can you do this to me? I think to myself. I can't bear asking him nor even look at him. I walk past him- but he grabs my arm and pins me up against the lockers. 

"Hey Emma. Whats the rush? Come on Em. Look at me." He chuckles like this is some kind of game to him. Is this funny?  "Jack. Let me go."  "Mm... How about no. Em, give me kiss babe." He leans into me and presses his lips to mine. Thank goodness that Elliot comes around... "What did I just tell you? Stay away from my sister!" Elliot rips Jack off of me and pushes him to the ground. "You okay Emma?? He didn't hurt you did he? Do you wanna ditch? Let's go ditch." 

I could only say one thing. "Okay."
