Hey everybody! I just wanted to let every know that I changed my pen name because BriannaIan was kind of lame...

So, this is my first Switched at Birth fanfic...I have been absolutley obssessed with Switched at Birth...or more specifically with Emmett and Bay these past few weeks. They are so cute together and I really hope they stay together in the show.

So, enjoy and let me know what you think!

Also, FYI when it comes to the dialogue in the story:

"Not bold and quotation marks" = speaking out loud

Bold and no quotation marks = just signing

"Bold and quotation marks" = speaking out loud and signing

Disclaimer: I dont own Switched at Birth...even though if I did, Daphne would not be interferring with Emmett and Bay's relationship and the show would not be ending on Monday!


'Party at my house.'

That was the text that both started and ended my life.

Of course, I was the one who sent it out. Well, me and my brother, Toby. We sent it to everyone in our contact lists, aside from our parents.

Mom and Dad were going on a second honeymoon type thing in the Bahamas and Regina and Adriana were visiting Regina's brother in Illinois.

My mom almost made me and Toby go stay with our grandma for the week and Regina was going to drag Daphne with them. But none of us wanted that; Daphne because she was still pissed at Regina (I was too, but her going away has nothing to do with me…) and Toby and I because going to our grandmas was…well…not fun.

But we managed to convince our parents that we were responsible and old enough to handle ourselves for a week. It took awhile but we finally persuaded them.

Now Toby, Daphne, and I were planning the biggest party of the year. I was surprised Daphne agreed to have a party but she said it would give her a chance to meet people.

"That's the spirit," I told her and proceeded with the party plans.

We started calling people about 30 seconds after Mom and Dad called to let us know that they touched down in the Bahamas, about 5 o'clock the day after they left.

Since I had text all of my friends and Toby had text all of his, I was pretty sure most of Buckner would be there, considering how fast word spreads around here.

Toby went to the store to pick up chips, soda, and beer. Since we weren't old enough to buy alcohol, Toby knew a guy that was over 21 who would by us beer.

Daphne and I had cleaned up the house and now we were in my room, looking for something to wear. Ever since all that happened with Regina, Daphne and I had gotten closer. We bonded through our anger at 'our' mother.

She had asked to borrow something of mine because she didn't think that anything she had would do. I rolled my eyes when she said that but agreed.

I pulled out a navy blue spaghetti strap dress and tossed it to her. "Try this on." I told her and she disappeared into my bathroom.

When she came back out, I observed the dres. It was short on her, coming down to just above the knee, which was what I wanted. It fit perfectly.

I smiled. "Perfect." Then I tossed her a pair of navy blue heels. She slipped them on and it made her long legs look longer.

"Thank you," she both said and signed. "Now, what are you going to wear?"

I ventured back into my closet and came back with a strapless black dress. I took it and a pair of silver heels into the bathroom.

I loved the way this dress fit me. It was tight but not tight enough that I couldn't move. It fell about 4 inches below my ass and it made me feel petite without making me look small.

As on Daphne, the heels made my legs look longer which was definatly a plus, considering how short I am.

I emerged from the bathroom and showed my dress off to Daphne. She smiled and nodded an approval.

"Okay, now hair and make up," I said and Daphne followed me back into the bathroom.

I pinned Daphne's hair up into a half ponytail, using a gold bobby pin to do it. Her bangs hung in her face. I decided that Daphne didn't need a lot of make up, natural was better. Some black mascara, pink eye shadow, and lip gloss did the trick.

When I was done, Daphne signed thank you and sat on the toilet and watched me do my hair.

I re-curled my already curly hair, fixing the frizz. I put on my red lipstick that made my lips look bigger. I added a thin layer of brown eye shadow and mascara. Then I sprayed perfume over both of us.

"Gorgeous," Daphne said. "So, now what?"

I glance at the clock. People would start showing up soon. I shrugged. "We wait, I guess."

Just then I heard Toby come in the front door.

"Or…we go help Toby bring food in," I told Daphne since she didn't hear the door.

"Okay." We headed downstairs and got bags and boxes out of the car. We put chips in bowls and cans of soda and bottles beer on the counter. We just finished as the doorbell rang.

The first wave of people rushed into the house and music filled the house, loud enough that Daphne and probably Emmett could hear it.

I smiled as I thought about Emmett. I thought back to when he was there for me when I found out Regina knew about the switch.

~Flashback~

"She just shut her eyes and pretended that I didn't exist, like it was more important not to risk losing Daphne then to even try and get me-"

Emmett held up his hand to get me to slow down, a pained expression on his face.

"No, okay? I don't wanna slow down! I just wanna say what I need to say and I want you to understand me but I cant sign and you cant hear. I don't even know what I'm doing here. This isn't going to work out." I could feel the tears threatening to overflow down my cheeks. Deep down, I felt bad for saying that but I had other things on my mind.

As I started to leave, Emmett grabbed my hand and I stopped. I couldn't hold the tears back any longer and all I wanted at that moment was for Emmett to hold me. I turned around and he wrapped his arms around my waist and I wrapped mine around his neck and I sobbed into his shirt.

He stood there and held me for what seemed like hours. When it felt like there were no more tears left in my body, I pulled back and looked at him. He mouthed, "I'm sorry," to me and I felt bad all over again. Emmett was so nice and sweet and I really wanted this to work but I didn't know how it could. There was too much of a communication barrier.

"I'm okay." I said, even though I really wasn't. "I should probably go. My parents are going to be worried."

Emmett nodded and before he let me, he leaned down and pressed a gentle kissed onto my lips.

I left his house more confused than I was when I got there.

~End flashback~

That was 8 days ago. I haven't talked to Emmett since. I saw him when he came to pick up Daphne for school, but he never got off his motorcycle and never took off his helmet.

I didn't text him or anything because I didn't know what to say. I was still confused about my feelings for him and our relationship. I figured I had to talk to him soon but I was putting it off. I didnt invite him to this party thing because I figured he wouldn't want to hang out with a bunch of Buckner kids. Hell, I hardly wanted to hang out with them.

I was so lost in my thoughts; I didn't realize that more people had shown up until somebody ran into me. I regained my balanced just in time for the doorbell to ring again.

"Bay, will you get that?" Toby yelled to me before he disappeared into the kitchen.

I smoothed down my hair and pulled the door open, preparing to jump back because I expecting a bunch of people to come flooding in.

But only one person was standing there. A person with blue green eyes...

Emmett smiled and signed, Hi, Bay

"Emmett! What are you doing here?" I realized how bad that sounded but it was too late to take it back.

What, am I not suppose to be here or something? He gave me his famous James Dean smirk.

"No, no, its not that, I just didn't know you were coming."

Daphne invited me. I came to see how rich kids party. But I mainly came here to…see you.

"Me?" My voice squeaked as I said that, but he couldn't hear it.

Emmett nodded and looked down at the ground, as if he all of sudden became shy.

When he looked back up at me, I signed, "Do you want to go-"

I was cut off when Emmett looked over my shoulder and started waving to someone. I spun around and saw Daphne walking toward us. Emmett lookaed back at me and held up a finger and mouthed One second, okay?

I nodded. 'Of course, Daphne always comes before me...' I thought bitterly even though I put a smile on my face as Emmett and Daphne started signing rapidly. Even though I have been learning sign language and have been getting better at it, I couldnt understand what they were saying because they went so fast.

They talked for awhile and I started to get bored, confused as to what they were talking about. Since they were so into their conversation, they didnt even noticed when I walked off into the kitchen. I grabbed a beer from the counter and decided right then and there that I was going to get drunk tonight.


What did you think? I really hope I did okay but that's up to you guys...just let me know! :)

I just rewatched the newest episode and who agrees that Emmett is the sweetest for what he gave Bay for her birthday? Daphne better not tear them apart because she all of a sudden decides she has feelings for Emmett or I'm gonna to be furious...

Anyways, before I rant anymore, I'm going to go start chapter 2...

So, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE review and give me your feedback. :P
