Emma sat smiling slightly across from her baby brother, who popped bubbles with his spit while giggling at her smiling back him and laughing along with him.

Snake, her Step Dad, and her mother were on the other side also, laughing in the midst of their dinner.

They went to Bobby's tonight, a nice small family restaurant.

Emma hadn't spent time like with with her family in awhile, and since being a good student, she was always racing to school in the morning so never really chatted with them much anymore. Especially since, Mr Adams..

Emma tried to take her mind of him and everything, taking the glass of water in front of her and finishing it off before telling her mom, "I'll be right back."

They nodded, and her baby brother watched her go.

Emma headed to the bathrooms, squeezing through some booths and a hallway before she was grabbed and held against the hall before the ladies room. Emma's eyes widened in horror when she stared right back at Jesse, who chuckled down at her. He had put his hand on her mouth to cover her scream and then removed it, still silently laughing.

"Came to surprise you." he told her, in a happy little mood.

Emma couldn't stop looking at him. Was he really here right now? How? Why? Couldn't he just leave her be?

"Jesse, I'm with my family..okay?" She looked the direction her family sat, her heart pounding and feeling light headed.

"So? Isn't it time I meant your parents?" he asked. Emma stared at him terrifyingly, holding her breath. "I'm kidding." he laughed and she exhaled.

"How'd you know I was here?"

"You told me, Emma."

Emma felt sick to her stomach. She knew she didn't tell him. "I got to go." she gasped and whimpered when he grabbed her already bruised arm that was covered by sleeves tonight.

"But you'll come see me after class tomorrow, right?" his eyes were dark, and intense.

Emma wanted to run into the bathroom and cry, or hell, run home and finally call the cops. This was wrong, so wrong. She didn't feel like the stupid girl she was just a week ago. How had she let him do those things to her? No- no she didn't let him. She said no, and asked him to stop.

"Jesse, this isn't right. Please leave me alone." she gazed back at her family through the dinner tables and waiters. She did not want them seeing this.

Jesse stared at her in disbelief, stepping closer and lowering his voice dangerously, "You don't want to see me anymore?"

She yanked her arms from his when he held tighter and she couldn't take it anymore. "No! I want you to leave me alone! Or I'll go to Mrs H, o-or my Dad."

Jesse stared at her, and Emma tried to stand strong. He snickered at her bitterly, "You'd never. You wouldn't want your Daddy to know-" Emma shoved him off of her and ran as quick as she could away from him but he called after her, "to know you're not little Miss Perfect anymore!"

Tears burned Emma's eyes but she ran out of the restaurant, and ran home. She texted her mom later to tell her she felt sick so went home. . but her parents were still worried when they came home. Emma had never done that before, but Emma went to bed, insisting she was just tired and sick.

(((((((***********)))))))))

Emma adjusted the books in her arms as she walked up the school stairs, eying the front doors like it better not mess with her today.

All night, she stayed awake, lying in bed and wondering where the strong, passionate Emma went. Then she insisted, she was still right here. She couldn't let Mr Adams do this to her. All night she scanned through different cases of teachers violating their students, or just in general raped victims. Some stories were depressing , but some were inspiring and some related to Emma.

Maybe she was still too scared to tell anybody, but she knew she could come out of this strong.. . . . . .if only Jesse agreed to leaving her alone.

Before she went to her locker, she glanced wearily at his closed classroom door, then walked to her locker.

Eyes were on her, but she didn't notice Sean at all who had just came in too from parking his Bike in the lot. He carried his motorcycle helmet, and he narrowed his eyes at Emma as he walked to his locker.

"Hey Sean." he glanced over to see Ellie on his locker, looking less 'Ellie' today in a black mini skirt and green top to match her green eyes.

"Hey." he snuck one more look at Emma who was also stopped at her locker from no other than Manny Santos. It kept getting wierder and wierder. He'd never seen them hangout.

"So," Ellie said and tilted her head, seeing his distraction and turned her head. He was looking Manny Santos way, no doubt. Ellie rolled her eyes. "Sean?"

Sean ripped his eyes off Emma. It was hard to, since she looked upset as Manny was talking quietly to her. "What?"

"The ravine next weekend, are you going?"

Sean couldn't keep up. Craigs party this weekend, the ravine the next, and then the big school dance before the end of the year.

"Maybe." he told her, and cleared his throat, nodding towards his locker to give her the hint to move. She jumped out of his way and blushed.

"Cool. I'll see you there then." with that, she left.

Meanwhile, with Emma and Manny, Emma pled her one more time. "Please can we talk about this another time?"

"I know where those bruises are from, or should I say who?"

Emma felt sick. She stared back into Manny's eyes, and they were filled with as much emotion as Emma's, only more stronger. Emma was almost envious of her courage.

"I know Emma, because Mr Adams did it to me too last year."

Emma leaned on her locker, feeling light headed again. Manny looked around quickly before stepping closer, "Emma have you been eating?"

"Not much." she admitted, closing her eyes for a second and then gasped as Manny grabbed her and pulled her towards the nurses office.

((((((((*********)))))))))

Manny chased Emma after all the check ups were done with the nurse, "That was totally embarressing, how dare you do that to me?!" Emma shouted over her shoulder at Manny, trying to get away from her.

Manny kept up with her and grabbed her, panting. "I'm trying to help!" she closed her eyes and caught her breath, "Wow you're really fast. The legs probably really help huh?" they both looked down at Emma's legs, and then the height of another.

Emma rolled her eyes and then noticed the hallway empty. Everyone was in class ."You made me get a pregnancy test. What if the nurse-"

"She's not allowed to tell or show anybody your information, Emma." Manny assured softly, "And Nurse Rebecca is really sweet...she helped me, during my.." she drifted off, her eyes glazing over.

Emma stared sadly back at Manny. She couldn't believe Jesse did this to her too. "Well, I'm fine, okay? I'm on birth control, and it's not going to ever happen again"

Manny asked quickly before Emma walked away, "Are you going to tell the cops?"

Emma clenched her jaw. "I told him to leave me alone."

"That won't work. It didn't with me, not until he seemed distracted by something else and that something was you." Manny's heart broke for Emma, "You really want to wait around until he does this to another girl?"

"I just want to forget it all, okay?" tears streamed down Emma's cheeks.

Manny promised her, "It doesn't ever get to be forgotten, and trust me when I say if you see him do this to anybody else, it brings you back to that darkness of a hole and you feel like the one who should be blamed.."

Emma sniffed and whiped her cheeks with her fingers. She turned as she began to walk away, "I got to go to class, okay? I'm late."

Manny frowned deeply, watching her go.

(((((*****)))))))

Lunch came, and Manny sat with Jay and his friends Alex and Towerz. The cafeteria was loud, and busy, and usually Jay and her went to the Dot or something but today they stayed.

Manny was so out of it, and even Alex raised an eyebrow at Jay when she kept him sneaking side glances at Manny with concern.

Jay cleared his throat and moved closer to Manny, putting his hand on her leg closest to him and whispered in her ear, "What's wrong, Dimples?"

Manny closed her eyes and softened at his touch. Maybe tonight she'd sleep at Jays. She had barely slept at all this week, knowing what she knew about Emma Nelson. She felt like they could be maybe, friends? Seeing as nobody else really seemed to ne a close girl friend of theirs nor nobody else would understand what they've been through.

"Fine." she gave him a reasurring smile, leaning up and kissing him tenderly. He closed his eyes and kissed her back, then watched her get up with her food tray and go throw it out.

"Trouble in paradise?" Alex taunted.

Jay glared over at her. Towerz smirked. "She's just.. tired. Exams are coming up."

"That girl doesn't care about exams." laughed Alex, "She cares about the dance."

Jay rolled his eyes at his ex, who was now a lesbian, yet still had to comment on every thing he did with Manny. It was like she was still jealous. .. . or maybe she wanted Manny? Oh! That'd be hot.

Jay snapped out of his thoughts and then got up, going to Manny.

"You want to come to my place tonight?" he asked her, walking out of the cafe with her and towards the front doors.

They walked down the steps to the parking lot. "Yeah." Manny nodded, looking over and up at him, smiling adoringly. "I would."

He smirked, happy she agreed but grinned more as he pushed her up against the side of his orange civic. Sometimes they came to hangout out here, if it was sunny enough.

Manny laughed and swung her arms around his neck, pressing her lips against his and held her more against the car and trapped against his body.

Jay was also the best lover she's ever had. He was gentle when she wanted him to be, or passionate when she needed that too. Or even sometimes dirty- hey, can't blame a girl! They both had sexual appetites with another.

Manny broke apart from Jay's lips when she saw Emma walk by, breaking from her group of friends. "Hey Emma." she greeted.

Emma turned her head while walking by Jay's orange civic, and just smiled slightly before going to walk faster until she gasped and jumped back from a speeding motorcycle that parked in his spot next to Jay's orange civic. it was a new parking space for Jay. He liked it! Was under the trees so his car wasn't so damn hot when he got into it.

Jay had glanced from the girl Manny said hi to, to the biker who took his helmet off to reveal Sean. "Almost hit and run there, Bam Bam." he joked with a sly grin.

Sean glared at Jay Hogart, but a bit sheepishly at Emma, "Sorry." he got off the bike.

She just nodded and looked back at the school. Jesse's class was next. She didn't think she could do it. Maybe she should skip, she'd just tell her mom she still felt sick.

Manny opened her mouth quickly before Emma walked away, "You should come to Craig Mannings party with me this weekend."

Jays face screwed up, "Craig?" he spat. Manny gave him a look to shut up. They use fight all the time about him. Craig was a nobody as soon as Jay showed up in Manny's life. Craig and her only fooled around twice almost two years ago.

Emma shifted in her spot, "I don't know." she then cursed herself. She tried to remind herself not to close down on people. That's what most of the victims in the news she read said not to do. She had to try.. "Well...okay."

Manny raised her eyebrows, even shocked herself. "Really?"

Jay snorted and looked to Sean still standing at his bike, looking busy with whatever he was checking on it. "How come girls can just become friends so easily?"

He wondered how Manny even come to know this goody two shoes even? He was sure he'd seen this girl handing out 'Save the dolphins' or 'World' or something like that before.

Sean looked up from checking his back tire, and glanced from Jay to between Emma and Manny. Emma even blushed and looked down from his longing stare on her.

Sean blinked and tried to look away, glancing back to Jay. "They don't have bad communication skills or poor judgement." he seemed to like Emma, and Manny seemed alright to him too, no matter what other people said. He knew how rumors could be.

Jay looked offended and pointed at himself, "What? You think I'm mean, Bam Bam?"

Manny rolled her eyes, but had to give Jay credit. Sean was the only guy Jay wasn't completely totally making fun of to piss off, but in fact, just have fun with. It was Jay's way of even being nicer. He must in some way, like Sean.

She eyed between them and smirked seeing the similarities between the two. Sean had been in a lot of her classes growing up, or around when she was messing around with Craig and he's always been a nice guy, a gentleman even near her (Despite what people said about him). He never called her a slut, or even looked at her the wrong way.

The bell rang, and Emma felt her stomach sink and her chest cave in. She couldn't think about going back inside without having a slight panic attack. She noticed Peter at his blue car a few lanes down and standing with his friends Declan and Danny.

"I'll see you later." she told Manny, and Manny nodded, watching her go. Sean did too. Manny even caught him looking and he frowned and grabbed his stuff, walking back to school.

Meanwhile, Emma went towards Peter in a hurry before he grabbed his stuff for class.

"Peter!" she jogged over, and he went a little wide eyed, glancing back to see Emma coming his way and separated from his friends.

"Hey." he greeted pretty happily. Maybe he had another chance? He watched her sweet face look rather shy and then she asked.

"Can you drive me home?"

(((((((((((**********)))))))))))))))))

Peter sat in the back seat of his car with Emma, his hands on her hips as she guided on top of him. The straps of her shirt were fallen off of her shoulders but her shirt still clung to her, and her hair fell a little in her face as she tried to focus. Her eyes were closed, and he watched her in awe.

This wasn't the same Emma Nelson he knew.

Peter threw his head back against the seat in heaven, then back up to watch her whimper and even sigh a bit in frustration. Suddenly she got off of him, and pushed her hair back out of her face as she sat down on the seat next to him, catching her breath but a black look in her eyes.

Awkwardly Peter chuckled and tried to do up his pants and belt again. "We never did stuff like that before."

Emma stared ahead blankly as she replied, "Yeah, you just pushed and grunted as I laid there like a star fish." they were both so inexperienced at the age. At 15.

"That was harsh."

Emma looked over at him, seeing the hurt cross his face and she felt a sting of guilt, "I'm sorry." she sat up and turned towards him. Her eyes filled with regret and pity. "God this was a mistake."

Peter nodded. He was starting to think so too. He was crazy to think Emma and him would be a couple again. She was always way out of his league. Plus, they didn't make another happy.

"But you were really good to me Peter. Thankyou." Emma said, meaning it. She bent down, and grabbed her bag.

Peter had to ask before she left, "Are you okay?"

She looked back and paused to think about it. "No." she got out and said casually, "Have a nice night."

Peter sat there, stunned, belt still undone and staring where Emma had left.

(((((((((****************)))))))))))

That night at home, Jesse slammed his front door of his apartment shut hard, a pan dropping from his kitchen.

He angerily stormed through the entrance and through his living room to his bedroom.

Emma had skipped his class today. Had even blocked his number when he tried to call. He'd fucking make her pay for this, before they got back together and worked this all out. He'd make her cry for forgiveness on her knees.

He threw his coat off and turned on his bedroom light, walking to his dresser and removed his shirt.

He looked at the mirror on his wall, and a small picture was placed on the corner of it. A yearbook picture of Emma. He walked to it, and clenched his jaw, but stared sorely at her beautiful picture.

Why did she want to hurt him? All he did was love her.
