-chapter 39-

[Faith's POV]

The music at Emma's party was blasting. I was in the kitchen, with Isabella. Emma walked in, holding a red solo cup.

"Do you guys know who brought beer?" She asked us. We shook our heads. All of us were underage. She just shrugged and then turned when Bryan and Mallory came into the room.

"Hey Emma! Happy birthday!" Bryan cheered. The two wreaked, especially Bryan's breath.

"Hi Bryan." Emma nodded, trying to ignore him. She took a sip from her cup, only to spit it out all over the boy's shirt. "Oh. I'm so sorry. Here, come with me. I'll get you another shirt." She grabbed his wrist, leading him up the stairs, and probably to her room.

Mallory was still here though, getting a drink. It was taking her a long time to fill up one cup. Daniel walked over, and asked a question.

"Hey where'd Emma go?" He asked frowning.

"Upstairs." Isabella pointed and took a sip of her sprite.

"Daniel, will you show me to the bathroom upstairs?" Mallory came over to hang on his arm. "The one down here is occupado." She was definitely drunk. He nodded, but seemed frustrated. The two headed up the stairs, Mallory blabbering absentmindedly about something.

At least two minutes later, Daniel rushed down the stairs. His hair was a mess, showing he had been pulling at it.

"Dani what's wrong?" Jonah moved from where he was stationed by my side. The boy shook his head and mumbled something underneath his breath. Then he just left.

A moment later, Bryan and Mallory came down too. He had changed his shirt. The two started whispering to others, spreading something. Soon, Lottie came over from dancing and told us the news.

"Guys. Emma cheated on Daniel." Her eyes were wide, and a little hurt. It all made sense now. But this wasn't like Emma, was it?

Emma then stumbled down the stairs. She had black tear stains, from mascara. Everyone was whispering. She looked around, hurt, but took a deep breath.

"Party's over!" She yelled. "Please show yourself out." Her voice was breaking, but she held herself together. The crowd began to disperse, people leaving quickly. We were the last ones out, glancing at Emma, not knowing what to think.

I couldn't believe Emma would do something like this. She wasn't that kind of person. She would never cheat. It had to be something with Bryan, Mallory, and Hayden. It had to.
