A/N: Ok based on the votes, I started this story over. I hope I didn't upset anyone but I really screwed it up and I need to fix it. I hope I didn't lose any reviewers. All of this will be told from Emily's POV. Please R/R!

Emily's POV

My Dad once told me that a broken heart hurt worse then being beat up. I laughed at him at the time and thought he was crazy, but now I realize he was right. I gave my heart to a guy I thought I loved and I thought he loved me back, and he shattered it. It's hard to do simple things anymore.

Like when I went to unpack my bags I found the tape Connor had made everyone and my notebook filled with everyone's E-Mail addresses. I broke down into sobs and it took three root beer floats and a two-hour talk with Adrian to calm me down. She's like a sister to me.

But what the heck am I doing? You don't know what I'm talking about: you weren't there. I guess I had better start from the beginning. It started 6 months ago in a little diner just inside Boston.

I started working at Slap-shots when I turned 14. That's the name of Uncle Coxie's diner. It's actually a lot of fun; most of my friends work there, including my twin brother Matt. It's a cool looking place with a 50's theme and a jukebox, thankfully we didn't have to where uniforms.

Bing!

I grabbed a container of fries and took them over to table 3 when the gang walked in. They were 4 friends that I'd hung out with for as long as I can remember.

Adrian Craig is my best friend in the whole world. There wasn't anything I didn't tell her and we were always together. With curly brown hair and bright green eyes, she was the main attraction at school. She was, as Matt would put it, a sexy mama. All the guys drooled over her and wanted to be her boyfriend, but oddly enough she never had a boyfriend. Besides the fact of protective friends, Adrian was waiting for her perfect guy. We work together as waitresses and play hockey together. She is the fearless goalie on our team, with an attitude that proves she doesn't care what anyone thinks.

Jacob 'Rizzo' Eruzione followed behind Adrian caring his over stuffed book bag. He was like another brother to me, my teddy bear, as I call him. Rizzo is a solid rock all the way around, physically and mentally. He is the best guy I know. Most 16 year olds are cocky and full of himself but not my teddy bear. He's perfect compared to everyone else. Matt and Rizzo are best friends and in a way are more like twins then Matt and I are. You would think that they were joined at the hip. Rizzo kept Matt out of trouble and Matt protected Rizzo. It was pretty funny actually.

Adam 'Coxie' Cox entered next letting the door slam behind him. His shaggy blond hair fell over his blue eyes and he ran around the counter and went to grab an apron. He was taking over for me. Coxie is the joker of the gang, he always has to make people laugh and he's like a third brother. He's not over smart but he doesn't fail either. He has too much energy to sit still in class, causing him to get into trouble. It's drives him mother crazy but she can't do much considering she lives in Vermont. His parents split up after his little brother was born.

The door was about to close with a slam when my twin brother Matt busted through the doorframe. It's funny that Matt and I are twin, we are so different. He is very tall with a nice build and dark hair while I'm short and have light brown hair with natural blond streaks in it. Matt is more than a head taller than me and easily beats me in wrestling match, which we get into very often. I'm more shy and reserved and always afraid of hurting others feelings. Matt on the other hand can be very mean when he wants to be. I'm very naïve and he is street smart. Matt is very good in Math and other languages. It's funny because he does better in Spanish than English. The only thing that we have alike inappearance is our green eyes.

"Hey Em." Coxie came out of the back room and picked me up then twirled me around and dropped me. I laughed at him.

"That's not nice." I informed him and went to take a seat next to Rizzo.

"He wouldn't pick on you if you weren't so short." Matt informed me. He pushed a button on me right then and there. I hated being called short and he knew it. The diner was a little full so I stood up and shouted.

"Mathew Allen OCallahan! Don't ever say that to me again!" His face grew red and everyone laughed at us. Matt hates his middle name. I think it's because Mom picked it out.

Now there's a story. Our Mother. Matt refused to call her Mom, instead calling her by her first name: Ellen. She left a few days after we were born. Dad wanted kids and she didn't. Ellen wanted to have an abortion but Dad wouldn't let her and after that she tried talking Dad into giving us up to adoption. Dad wouldn't have that either so she left. We get a card every Birthday and Christmas though. Matt says that doesn't make her our mother.

"Stop calling me that. I'm not short, I'm vertically challenged." I snapped at my brother a few seconds later. I was ok again.

"I can't believe we have this much homework on the first day of school!" Rizzo exclaimed in frustration. I looked over to see a mountain of books on the table.

"It's your own fault for taking so many advanced classes." Matt pointed out, not taking pity on poor Rizzo. "I don't have any homework."

"OC, you are taking cake classes." Adrian defended Rizzo.

"I don't call Algebra 2 and Trig. cake classes, Adrian." Matt snapped back.

"Hey, no yelling at the Birthday Girl," I intervened before it got ugly. Matt and I rarely fight but he and Adrian were terrible. Adrian grinned at me and Matt scowled but shut up.

Adrian's birthday always fell on the first day of school, some birthday present. We were going to have her party here at the diner after closing time. It's weird that Adrian is so popular yet she refuses to have two parties. It's always our family, her's, Coxie's, Rizzo's, and Jamie's.

Jamie Silk lives across town so we rarely see him, but he's still a good friend.

"That reminds me, we need to go get ready." Adrian interrupted my thoughts.

"The party doesn't start for another 5 hours." Matt told her.

"Well in that case we had better hurry." Adrian takes forever to get ready. She can bereally prissy while I'm a tomboy all the way around. I hate pink, skirts, and dresses. Matt rolled his eyes and Adrian whacked him upside the head.

"You to fight like an old married couple." Coxie said as he passed us.

"I can't wait till this weekend." Adrian squealed with delight as we left the diner to go to my house. We were having a sleepover in her honor. We have one for my birthday too.

"What movies should we get?" It was a ritual to stay up as late as we could watching movies.

"Ummm…I don't know there's a lot to pick from. Pretty Womanof course." I nodded. We always watched that one.

"I've been wanting to see Phantom of the Opera."

"Oh, me too!" I giggled at her. We loved the same movies except I hate horror flicks. She watches those with the guys. Matt made me watch a minute of The Exorcist and I had nightmares for weeks! What can I say? I'm a wimp and that's something else that makes us different.

"Happy Birthday To You

Happy Birthday To You

Happy Birthday Dear Adrian

Happy Birthday To You"

Adrian sat at the counter with her cake in front of her. It was in the shape of a hockey puck and had her number on it. After she blew out her candles, Aunt Brooke (Adrian's Mom) handed out pieces and we sat down to talk.

"So how was the first day of school?" Dad asked every one.

"It sucked." Rizzo and Matt said together and we laughed at them.

"Uncle Jack, I had so much homework I thought my book bag would break." Rizzo exclaimed. There was more laughter from the table.

Conversations went on for another half hour when Adrian opened her presents. From her parents she got a gold chain with a locket on it and new goalie gear because her old gear was breaking. There was money in cards from a few people a CD, a shirt from me, and the guys all chipped in to get her a shirt that said 'Save a wave, ride a surfer'. Everyone thought it was funny except Uncle Jimmy.

Little did I know that this would be my last night being normal. The night before I found out about try-outs.
