It was a while later, Remington had left to meet up with his date from yesterday and me and Emerson had just watched movies and we we're now doing homework in the kitchen.

Sebastian and Zoe walked in the kitchen "Hey we're back with groceries" Seb says with bags in his hands. "Seb and Em, can't you guys go get pizza, I wanna talk to Mel alone for a bit." Zoe says. Sebastian and Emerson go out and get in Seb's car and drive away.

"So, last night. I just want to make sure you're okay and he didn't push you. I'm guessing it was your first time and I didn't have the greatest first experience." Zoe says walking over sitting down next to me. "Uh, yeah. He didn't push me at all." I've never heard Zoe talk about her first time, I guess it was with her ex boyfriend who was a huge asshole. I can see her eyes get blank. "What do you mean about uh your first experience?" I ask grabbing her hand. "Well you remember my ex Harry, he forced me and would hit me if I said no. And I don't know if you remember, but a month before our parents died when they had that party, my mom found out and your dad kicked him and told him to stay away from me, and that was the last time I saw him." She broke down crying. I didn't say anything I just pulled her close.

After 5 minutes Seb and Em came in the kitchen screaming at the top of their lungs. "PIZZA PIZZA PIZZZAAAA!!!". They saw Zoe still crying and Sebastian threw the pizza on the table and ran to her. "What happened?!" Seb says holding Zoe in his arms. "Uh-n-nothing." Zoe stammers.

Zoe dried her tears and stood up, "Seb come I'll talk to you in my room, you guys can eat." She grabbed my hand and we walked upstairs.

We sat on her bed and she told me about her ex and started crying. "Baby I'm so sorry, I'll always protect you." I said and pulled her close. She sobbed into my shirt.

I felt so bad for her, I can't belive someone did that to her. I wanted to punch the ignorant fucker. My thoughts were interrupted by Emerson knocking on the door. "Hey me and Melanie are going out, we'll be back later."

- Emerson's pov -

Me and Mel walked out, "You didn't have to come with, it'll probably just take a few minutes." I said holding her hands as we walked down the street. "But then I'd miiiiissss you too much." She giggled. I kissed her and kept walking. "Plus you won't tell me what you're going to do." She said squeezing my hand. "Uhm, well that's because I wouldn't Sebastian to overhear because he'd kill me. I'm just picking up some weed it's not a big deal." I said not looking at her. "I didn't know you smoked weed?" She turned my head towards her and stopped walking. "Why haven't you told me?" She said sounding angry. "It's not something I go around screaming about, it's just something I do once a week or something. I won't make you smoke with me." I said trying not to sound annoyed. Why is this such a big deal to her? She smokes and doesn't seem like someone who would have problem with some weed.

"I just didn't know I was dating a stoner" She muttered. She seemed to be really mad. "Why are you fucking mad at me?" I said sounding a lot more annoyed than I meant to. "Because.. nothing fuck you Emerson" She said and started running back to her house. I was so confused, I did her nothing why did she start freaking out at me.

My phone rang, it was a guy from my old school telling me he was close to where we were supposed to meet up. I'm annoyed at Melanie for freaking out over nothing so I decided to not go running after her.

- Melanie's pov -

I came in my house crying. I threw my bag and shoes on the floor before running to my room. Sebastian stopped me as I came the stairs. "What the fuck is happening and where's my brother." "YOURE IDIOT OF A BROTHER HAPPENED" I said crying and screaming. "WHAT DID HE DO IM GOING TO KILL HIM" Sebastian screamed and pulled me close and hugged me. I didn't say anything just stood there crying.

Sebastian carried me down to the couch and I curled up in a ball watching some dumb tv show trying to stop crying. Zoe sat next to me and played with my hair. Sebastian was in the kitchen when Emerson came walking in the door.

Sebastian ran out and pushed Emerson against a wall. "Where the fuck have you been and why did Melanie come in here crying?" Sebastian said pointing at me. I stood up. "Sebastian let him be, I wanna talk to him. It's all my fault I overreacted." I said walking towards the stairs gesturing at Emerson to follow me. "Emerson you watch your shit, I wanna know everything that happened later" Zoe said while walking over to Sebastian to try and calm him down.

I walked in to my room with Emerson behind me and sat down on my bed. "What happened out there?" Emerson said sounding annoyed but with worry in his eyes. "Well uh let me explain. I overreacted because I didn't know smoking weed was something you did. And the reason for me overreacting was that when I was 10 my mom started smoking weed, it quickly went to other drugs and then when I was 13 she o-overdozed."I started crying again. "Oh, I had no idea I'm sorry, I knew she wasn't in your life but Sebastian never mentioned why. I promise I don't do or will do anything else. Weed just helps me sometimes." I pulled her close and kissed her forehead as she sobbed in my arms. "Seb doesn't know, I don't want anyone to know so I asked Zoe not to tell him." I said.

Me and Emerson continued talking for maybe 1 hour. "Does Sebastian know you smoke weed?" I asked Emerson. "He knows but it's never something we really talk about, since our moms barely home I've stopped trying to hide the smell." "So I can tell them the truth?" I asked and looked at Emerson. "Yeah, I can take Seb being a baby about it." Emerson said and laughed. Then we went down to the kitchen to tell Seb and Zoe what happened to calm them down since we could hear Sebastian impatiently walking around.

"HI guys!" I said while sitting on Emersons back giggling. "Wha- hi?" Sebastian looked really confused. "Well we thought we should tell you what happened before." I said and jumped off Emersons back and sat down on the couch. "So, Emerson told me he smokes weed sometimes and I-I u-uh" I started stammering trying to not cry. "Sebastian I asked Zoe not to tell you but my mom passed away when I was 13 because of an overdose and she started with weed and then other stuff. Its not something I ever talk about and I just got scared." I continued and a few tears came down my check. "WHAT THE FUCK EMERSON" Sebastian stood up and screamed. "YOU PROMISED ME TO STOP THAT." "No, you told me to promise you, I never did. And not like you'd ever care, it helps with my anxiety and I'm not going to stop." Emerson says calmly but annoyed.

They started screaming at each other, me and Zoe tried to pull them apart when suddenly Sebastian punched Emerson in the face. We all stood still and watched as Sebastian walked out the house. "OMG EM ARE YOU OKAY?" I screamed. Zoe said nothing, she went up the stairs and in to her room.
