Anthony's p.o.v I was having an amazing time at the fire with Emma but Cynthia kept blowing up my phone snapping out at me. I mean, I did flirt with her a little when I thought Emma had no interest in me but I quickly shut that down. When josh told me she would go on a date with me. I Decided to text her back so she would Get a hint.
Me: Cynthia stop. I'm happy with Emma, I never meant for You to get hurt or catch feelings but honestly- you're 14! Nothing would have came from that. Please stop thank you
Cynthia: you don't just get to go fuck with peoples feeling because your heart hurts Anthony.
I do feel bad about how I could have potentially lead her on, but that wasn't my intention. I locked my phone and stuffed it back in my pocket. And I looked back up as a smile took over my face as Emma was stuffing fries in her mouth. She caught me staring and shot me a playful glare.
-time skip back to the hotel-
Me and Emma has just got out of the Uber and we walk towards the entrance of the hotel. It was quite, not an uncomfortable and awkward silence. It was nice. As we walked along side of each other our hands would occasionally brush up against each other giving me goosebumps. "Anthony?" Emma questioned, I looked at her and nodded and she sighed. "What's wrong with me? How come I'm not capable of deserving love? What's so wrong with me that makes everyone I've ever been with not treat me right? Because i feel like I'm good at showing loves but can't accept it, I'm sorry to have sprung this on you but it's always on my mind." She exhaled I was in shock. Who hurt this girl so badly she thinks she's undeserving of love? Because she's the most deserving person for anything, " Emma who hurt you?" I ask her hoping I get an answer because I don't want to push her to far. She looks to the side and sighs, as she looks back at me her eyes have glossed over. "My ex. I'm not going to tell you his name because he also has a following on tiktok. Besides that part- we started talking around 2 1/2 years ago. When I was still just some random girl making funny videos on musically for jokes I guess I caught his eye and he followed me on Instagram, and you know me. A guy giving me attention? I was Inlove with that back then because it made me feel wanted and loved. So it didn't take long for me to fall for him- and for the first six months of the relationship it was great, we would go on a date every week, he would always surprise me with my favourite snacks and stuff and it was just the best time of my life and I couldn't wait to make more memories with him. But it was almost our one year and I had bought us tickets to go see Travis Scott for our one year when one night he came to my house and barged in at like 2 in the morning and lost his mind at me. Like full on loosing it- apparently I was at the club cheating on him with multiple guys, but I stood my ground and told him that just wasn't true for one because I wasn't old enough to be at a club and two because I'm loyal and would never do that to someone! But anyways- after all that happened he uhm... he hit me. More than once, and I was so shocked and scared I couldn't move I let it happen and didn't tell anyone. So for months I let this happen without saying a peep to anyone, and it got worse he went from screaming at me to hitting me To eventually having sex with me against my will. I know that it's rape but I'm too scared to say out loud that it has happened to me. It hasn't set it fully o guess- so yeah. That's my fucked up past" she finished giving me a weak smile. I didn't know what to say I was speechless I opened my arms and engulfed her in a hug which I feel like she needed "em, I'm so so sorry that that happened to you. You didn't deserve that- no one deserves that." I said while I held her in my arms I felt her shiver in my arms. Which let me know she was crying and that's where we stayed for the rest of the night her in my Arms letting out all her pain.
-a few hours later- I had just woken up from me and Emma's small nap on the couch and chase and griffin had come over a few minutes ago. "Y'all making me feel single!" Chase announced as he flopped himself on the bed with his phone in his hand snap! He took a photo of us which made Emma squirm in my arms "well good morning sleepy head" griffin said a bit to loud which made net groan and flipped over so her head was in my chest "yo chase! Send me that picture" I looked over to the boy scrolling through tiktok on my bed he nodded and a few seconds later my phone dinged

I smiled as I opened my phone and the picture of me and Emma popped up, this girl truly is the source of my happiness. Nothing will change that, she always has been since the first day I seen her tiktok on my for you page. I locked my phone deciding I would post it to Instagram later.
