Monday morning Jacob woke up and took a shower to get ready for school. He put on blue skinny jeans and a green muscle shirt. He styled his hair in his faux-hawk and grabbed his wallet, phone, which was surprisingly, still working, backpack and car keys and went downstairs.

"Bye mom and dad" he called and left.

As he was driving, he couldn't stop thinking about that anonymous text he got last night on his phone. Whoever this person was, they knew too much about him and he didn't like it. In addition, they were threating to tell Emily if he didn't tell her about his past. He couldn't have this person reveal something about him to the love of his life like that. He pulled up at school, got out his car, and started walking towards the school.

When he walked inside, he saw Emily at her locker and decided to sneak up on her. He walked up and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Hey." He whispered in her ear

"Hi what's up?" she asked facing him

"As you know the masquerade ball is coming up and I was wondering if you would like to be my date. Jacob said fidgeting.

"Yeah I wouldn't want to be with anyone else." She replied smiling

"Cool now I can buy the tickets." He said smiling and kissed her cheek

Emily smiled and kissed his lips before closing her locker and grabbing his hand and they walked to class. When they walked inside, they found their seats and sat down. As Mrs. Montgomery was teaching Jacob texted Emily

"What are you doing after school?" it read

"Swim practice do you think you could watch me practice?" She replied.

"Sure." He said and smiled at her.

When class was over Emily walked out of the room with Aria, Hanna, and Spencer. Emily walked into the girl's locker room and got dressed for practice. Jacob was sitting in the stands watching them practice. He still couldn't believe how fast of a swimmer Emily was. She was the best swimmer on the team. He watched as she moved like a torpedo in the water reaching the end before her other teammates.

Emily walked up to him when she was dressed and practice was over.

"You were amazing baby." He said hugging her.

"Thank you handsome." Emily said kissing his lips.

They turned around when they heard clapping and cheering behind them and saw Emily's teammates smiling at them.

"You guys are so cute." Paige said smirking

"Thanks" they replied.

That night Jacob was dressed in a white buttoned down shirt with black dressed pants. He put on his black dress jacket and Stacy Addams shoes and but on his black mask with a black Fedora hat on his head. He drove his car to Emily's and got out. He rang the doorbell and waited. Wayne Fields opened the door.

"Hello son come on in, Emily's upstairs getting ready." He said.

"Thank you sir" Jacob replied stepping inside.

Wayne and Jacob walked into the living room and sat on the couch.

"You guys have fun at the dance tonight but not too much fun." Wayne said

"Yeah sure I'll be careful with her sir." Jacob said

"I know you will, I trust you." Wayne replied touching his shoulder.

"I'm ready." Emily said coming downstairs. Jacob looked over at her and his jaw dropped.

"Wow." He managed to say after finding his voice.

"Sweetheart you look beautiful." Wayne said smiling.

"Thanks Dad." Emily replied.

She was wearing a long blue dress that had a sweetheart neckline and feathers on the bottom. She had a blue mask with a feather on the side of it and her hair was wavy. Jacob walked over to her and kissed her cheek.

"You look handsome." Emily said and kissed his lips.

"Thank you, you look beautiful." He replied

"Have fun kids." Pam said watching them walk to Jacob's car.

They pulled into the parking lot of the school and got out. Jacob grabbed Emily's hand and walked inside.

"You nervous Jacob?" Emily asked looking at him.

"No I'm just glad I was able to have the most beautiful date at the dance with me." He replied causing her to smile.

They walked over to the girls hand in hand.

"Hey guys." Hanna said smiling

"Hey ladies you all look beautiful." Jacob said

"Thanks" they said

"Where are the guys?" Emily asked referring to Caleb, Toby, and Jason.

"Over there getting us some punch." Spencer said pointing to them.

"Cool I'll go see what they're up to." Jacob said kissing Emily's cheek and walked toward them.

"Em, I have something to tell you." Spencer said

"What is it Spence?" Emily asked concerned.

"I had my mom look up some information on Jacob and she-

"Hey you girls want to dance?" Toby asked interrupting Spencer's statement.

"Yeah sure." Hanna said grabbing Caleb's hand while Aria grabbed Jason's.

"I'll tell you later." She said and walked away with Toby.

Emily turned around and saw Jacob looking at her.

"May I have this dance?" he asked.

"Yes you may" Emily giggled and took his hand in hers.

While Leona Lewis's Better in Time was playing, Jacob was looking in Emily's eyes.

"You know you really do look beautiful." He said making her blush.

"Thank you and you look handsome."

Jacob smiled and kissed her lips. He pulled away leaving her breathless.

"I love you," he said resting his forehead on hers.

"I love you too." She replied

They continued slow dancing Jacob looked at the door and tensed Emily noticed.

"Jacob what's wrong?" she asked looking at him.

"Nothing babe I'm ok" he said

Standing at the door was Frankie "The Gun" Rodriguez with a sick smile on his face looking directly at Jacob. Spencer, Aria, and Hanna noticed Jacob looking at the entrance and looked in that direction. They saw the Hispanic person with tattoos on his arm looking at Jacob. Frankie held up two fingers as if he was making a gun and started making his thumb pull as if he was pulling the trigger. Jacob pulled Emily close to him.

"Jacob are you sure you're ok?" she asked

"Yeah I'm ok, I have to go I'll be right back," he said

"Ok" she replied.

Jacob walked into the hallway and saw Frankie he didn't know Aria, Hanna, Spencer and Emily were behind him. Emily was worried because she saw how he tensed when he saw that guy at the door. The girls hid by some lockers so they wouldn't see them.

"What the hell are you doing here Frankie!" Jacob said with venom.

"Hey calm down homes I figured out that your family left L.A. after you got out." He said smirking.

"That's not why we moved and you know it Frankie." Jacob said.

"I bet your girl doesn't know your secret does she? I bet she doesn't know how you were locked up in prison for nine months for stabbing your best friend Cody." Frankie replied with a sick smirk.

The girls were shocked by what they heard and looked over at Emily to see tears rolling down her face.

"You know that's not true, I went to prison for a crime I didn't commit while you ran away scot free for killing my best friend!" Jacob yelled.

Emily came out of her hiding spot along with Aria, Hanna, and Spencer. They were all shocked by what they heard.

"No I didn't know that." She said causing Jacob to look startled.

"Emily what he said isn't true." Jacob said

"Looks like your girl knows now." Frankie said grinning

"Shut the fuck up Frankie!" Jacob said with anger

"You know what Jacob, we have unfinished business I'll see you later." Frankie stated and left. Jacob turned and looked at them

"Emily what he said isn't true I didn't kill Cody." He explained.

"Jacob it's not about that I trusted you and I gave myself to you but you keep that from me. I don't want to deal with you right now." Emily said hurt.

"Emily please just listen to me Frankie is a manipulator ok he likes to ruin my life I already lost my best friend because of him. I don't want to lose the one girl who gave me a chance when no one else did. Emily I love you and I'm not gonna let him come between us." Jacob said and started to walk outside.

The girls along with the guys ran after him and saw him walking to his car. Emily ran over to him.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"I'm going to end this beef between me and Frankie once and for all Em." Jacob said

"No Jacob don't do this I'll have my mom look over your case and see if she can get your record expunged" Spencer said

"That's great Spence but that's not gonna stop him. Listen I know this guy and he's gonna try to hurt me by hurting Emily and you guys I can't let him get away with it."

"Jacob I love you." Emily said hugging him.

Aria, Hanna, and Spencer smiled at them. Jacob pulled away from the hug and kissed Emily's lips before getting in his car.

"Spencer can you make sure Emily gets home safely?" he asked.

"Yeah we'll take her home dude." Toby said

"Hey and be careful we don't need Emily losing the love of her life." Jason said

"I'll be back, I promise." Jacob said and drove away.
