Chapter oneI cried

A/N I will be working on Mena next people so please be patient, I wanted to type this up before I forget. I'm done with most of the next chapter so it should be up later today.

Emma sighed, he was late.

What was she saying he was always late.

She sat in the park on a bench, it was surrounded by bushes that were so amazingly tall and wide that no one would see her unless they walked in front of the bench. She shivered, it didn't help that it was cold out when the weather guy said it would be sunny. 'Its sunny alright, sunny and freezing!' 'The sun is covered by all the dark clouds in the sky.'

She sat there in a pair of hip hugger blue jeans and a sweater she got from from her last shopping trip with Olivia and Megan. Today though, things were NOT going her way.

She first woke up earlier than usual, then she couldn't fall back asleep. She made an omelet that had pieces of mushrooms, green peppers, onions, and shredded cheese in it. But when she went to flip it over she messed up and had ended up eating scrabbled bits of her breakfast with a glass of cold orange juice.

Tancred insisted they should meet at the park two hours ahead of there originally timed plan. He told this to her a few nights ago on the phone. Seeing as it was her birthday today she wondered why.

Just then she felt a cool breeze pass by and she pulled her arms up and wrapped them around each other. She looked up and her jaw dropped. Literary.

'NO WAY!'

Tancred was walking with this 'other' blond girl with a hood on.

She looked again to see if she was seeing right and she couldn't deny it, it was him. Her Tancred. It was his face, his smile, his short dirty blond hair.

She felt tears well up in her eyes when she saw him drop his head down to kiss her. He was about fourty feet away from where she sat. Emma took a minute to process what was happening, and unbeknown to her tears ran down her face. The relationship that her and Tancred had never seemed to have any problems.

Well, at least now she knew why.

She saw them headed toward the direction of the exit. Tancred was holding onto the girl from behind and was walking, whispering things in her ear as they went.

Emma could hear her laughing, the laugh sounded similar yet she couldn't place it. She felt so torn apart, hurt, betrayed.

She looked down at her hands not bothering to wipe the tears on her face. 'Well he is from a good, loving, high class family.' 'How could I have been so stupid to actually believe he loved me.' 'I feel like such and idiot.' 'Maybe he just wanted to get in my pants?' We did it a while ago, and now that he's got what he wanted he moved on.'

And the worst part wasn't even that he cheated. Oh no. The worst part was he did it on her birthday, purposely coming to the spot he told her to meet him and then flaunting another girl in front of her. After she had successfully dried all the tears from her face she looked up to see them gone out of sight. She suddenly felt her protection walls go back up. She wasn't going to allow anyone to hurt her again. Just like back when she was hypnotized, she had her walls built all around her emotions so no one could hurt her.

She stood up and gave a strained fake smile, trying to bring comfort to herself. She didn't need him. He obviously doesn't care about her. She didn't need to date to be happy. She had her friends. Besides it wasn't like everyone hated her. After she was saved by Charlie and them she attracted everyone's attention.

She started walking towards the exit of the park and she thought about what she was going to do today. She wasn't going to whine about Tancred. She decided that she was going to leave him a message on his cell phone breaking up with him. She didn't think she could handle telling him in person without crying. In fact she knew she couldn't. She loved Tancred, she really did.

He had been asking her all kind of marriage questions lately too. This is what puzzled her greatly.

When they were walking in the hall the other day on they're way to Art class he asked her if she ever wanted to get married. He had been asking all kind of life questions, like if she wanted kids, and what she wanted as a career choice.

It took about ten minutes for her to walk to the exit. The park was huge but this was were Tancred had taken her for they're first date. To bad she would now get this horrible feeling every time she came. She had grown quite fond of all the flowers and plants. She even loved the huge bushes that made the beautiful park look like a maze.

She rounded the corner and gasped in horror and what she saw. How could this be even happening. She took off running out of the park and around the corner not really watching were she was going. Sure, she told herself she'd get over him, she didn't need him, he was nothing to her.

She was wrong!

She watched him kneel down in front of this girl and pull out a small box. She couldn't clearly see the ring but she knew what was happening. He asked that girl to marry him.

'That jerk, that horrible, mean, evil git.' She trusted him, she gave him everything. When she saw him pull out the ring she never felt so much pain. She knew he cheated, she saw it. But this hurt so much more then finding out he cheated. He had taken and given himself to another girl. She didn't even get a chance to object, or even break it off with him.

She felt angry, yet she couldn't help but cry. She bumped into someone and quickly apologized and looked up to see Olivia and Charlie. Olivia saw her best friends distressed state and her faced turned to worry along with Charlie's. "What's wrong Emma?" She saw the tear streaks down her face and she also saw how red and puffy her eyes were.

"Nothing," she lied but they knew she was lying then Emma muttered 'Important.' They didn't even hear her from the sound of the traffic next to them.

Charlie went to say something but Emma quickly yelled 'I have to go' and ran around them and down the sidewalk.

Olivia made to go after her but Charlie stopped her. "Do you think she really wants someone trying to pump information out of her?" "We should let her cool off first."

Olivia nodded reluctantly agreeing, Emma probably needed to calm down first. She let out a sigh and followed her boyfriend Charlie down the street to a cozy corner café called 'Mirates Reasure.'

Emma ran all the way to the house that her and her aunt lived in. She threw open the door and ran up the stairs and into her room. She didn't do anything but cry. Dispite her telling herself not to ealier she just couldn't help it. As soon as her face hit the pillow she let it all out.

'She had been so stupid, how could she have been so blind.'

The only thought after crying for about an hour was... What a great birthday this turned out to be.

A/N - Okay so that was really short but at least it has 1000 words in it. I am gonna update soon, I now 'Mirates Reasure' doesn't sound like a typical cafe but I didn't know what to name it so I looked at my dvd rack for inspiration. I saw Pirates of the Caribbean and just changed 'Pirates treasure' to 'Mirates Reasure.' I know it sucks but it works. Anyway below is a preview of Chapter 2

Preview of Chapter 2...

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Tancred said looking at Olivia and Charlie as he waited for his and Emma's drinks.

Charlie looked at him for a moment annoyed, then sighed deepy. "The question is Tan, What are you doing here when Emma's at home crying her eye's out?"

Tancred looked at him with confusion written all over his face. He looked over at Olivia and she bore the same annoyed face as Charlie.

"What are you talking about?" he questioned. "Emma's sitting right over at that table waiting for me." He pointed his finger over in the direction of Emma.

Charlie and Olivia turned they're heads and looked at the table were Tancred was pointing. Charlie looked stunned when he saw her and Olivia gasped.

The girl looked just like Emma...
