I'm so so so so, infinite amount of so's, sorry for not updating for what I think has been three weeks. I have not given up on this story, at first I had a little writer's block, and I've been super busy with school and theatre, and I almost didn't update this weekend and that's why this chapter is so short! It's better to have a little then to have nothing right? I'm hoping everyone feels that way. (: I have already started next's week chapter, so it should be long and on time! As always, review!

Also, I'm not exactly sure where Bay's room is in the house, but in my story her room outlooks the area in front of her garage, similar to Daphne's window.

Disclaimer: I do not own the ABC show Switched at Birth, because if I did the rest of the season would start much earlier than January and Sean Berdy would be all mine.


Daphne turned around and spotted Emmett walking back into the gym through a door opposite her. Daphne couldn't deal with him right now, so she ducked outside and took the round about way to the girl's locker room. She changed out of her basketball uniform and made her way out of the locker room. A few people congratulated her; She smiled and returned a thank you. But Daphne couldn't get her mind off Bay. Why did she lie about Regina? Did Bay know something, but Regina had made her promise not to tell? Sounded familiar. Daphne bumped into someone, looking up she saw a concerned Emmett.

"Where is Bay?" He signed quickly. Of course, Bay was all he could think about. He had barely congratulated her tonight.

"She…She said she had to go home, but she wouldn't tell me why." Daphne normally didn't lie, so when she did, she felt extra guiltily. Emmett whipped out his phone and punched in a text to Bay that Daphne couldn't read. Emmett looked up and smiled at Daphne.

"Great job out there tonight. You guys deserved this win." Daphne smiled widely that he finally realized her achievement. Emmett kept looking at his phone, but he got no reply from his girlfriend. He felt bad leaving Daphne, but he wanted to know why Bay had just left like that.

"When are you going home?" Emmett signed. Daphne cocked her head in wonder.

"Not sure…maybe in the next 30 minutes. John is giving me a ride home." As she signed, Emmett nodded.

"Oh, I was goin' say I could take you home, but I think I'll just swing by and check on Bay and then go home." Daphne's heart skipped a beat. He wanted to give her a ride home, well the main reason might have been to see Bay, but Daphne was still happy he was paying attention to her. "So I'm goin' head out. Bye, Daph!" Emmett signed and gave Daphne a quick hug, Daphne thought it was a little too quick before he walked to the parking lot. Emmett jumped on his bike and headed to Bay's leaving Daphne to wonder if after tonight her and Emmett would ever hug again. Bay would tell Emmett that Daphne had told her about the kiss, and he would hate her. Daphne felt suddenly didn't care that she'd won the basketball game, because Bay had won Emmett.


As Emmett quietly walked to Bay's garage, where the door was open, he peeked inside to see her say something to the rose he got her and then started to pick off it's petals. Emmett frowned. Why was she doing that? He glanced to the wrecked art she'd made for him and he's mind quickly started turning. He stepped further in and Bay looked up. Bay's eyes narrowed as soon as she realized it was Emmett. She wanted to cry, but she didn't want to seem weak right now. She wanted to seem strong; she didn't need Emmett.

"What?" Bay signed sharply. Emmett looked hurt as he tried to think of what to ask Bay.

"What…what's wrong?" Emmett reached out to touch Bay but she pushed him away.

"Don't touch me!" Bay signed quickly. "'What's wrong?' I don't know where too start…Is there anything you want to tell me, Emmett?" Bay signed and spoke. She did a sign or two wrong, but Emmett could tell this was not the time to correct her. He tried to think of things he'd messed up on. Was it their anniversary? No… What could he have forgotten?

"I'm sorry! Was I suppose to…" Then it hit Emmett. The kiss. He never told Bay about the kiss. Daphne had been talking to Bay before she left. Damn it…why didn't I just tell her the day of? "Bay…I'm so sorry. I love you so much. I should have just told you." Emmett felt stupid. Why did this have to happen now? After everything they'd struggled through they were about to be happy, or at least try to be, but now it was ruined.

Bay turned back around and walked to the counter and washed out some paintbrushes in attempts to distract herself. Emmett slowly walked up to Bay and snaked his arms around her middle. She tried to push him off, but before she could, Emmett spoke:

"I am so sorry, Bay." Emmett's voice was still so beautiful to Bay, but she was so mad. He pronounced everything to the best of his abilities including the long A in Bay's name, but she was so upset and envious, it just spilled out:

"No. I want to date someone that can at least say my own name." Bay was a jealous person, but even in her jealously, and anger, she knew that was the wrong thing to say. She wished she could take it back but the words had formed and Emmett could read lips enough to get what she said. His shoulders slumped and his heart broke. You are the one that kissed Daphne, Emmett told himself. Bay sighed and touched Emmett's shoulder.

"I think we're done." Bay only signed these words to Emmett as she slipped past him to go to her room. As Bay stomped up the stairs to her room, she ripped a brush though her hair and wiped the smudged make up off her face. She walked to her window to glance at the moon before she slept, but instead got a view of something she didn't want to see. She saw Emmett next to his bike with his helmet in hand, as if he was about to leave, but Daphne was walking up to him signing. Bay watched their conversation but with the quickness of their signs she could only make out her name a couple times. Until she saw Daphne sign a sign Bay had remembered very well. 'Hang out'. She had learned it at Emmett's after meeting his mom. Emmett signed some stuff and Daphne used 'hang out' again. Emmett signed 'Yes'. Emmett and Daphne are going to hang out! Bay broke up with him seconds ago and he's already going to hang out with Daphne? It was just hanging out, but…hanging out could mean a lot of things.

Bay waited for Emmett to leave and for Daphne to go back into the guest house. She quietly walked down the stairs and went to her garage. She locked her door and decided to start working on some new graffiti. Emmett wasn't taking away her troubles, he was giving her more. As Bay worked she held back tears. She didn't want to be weak anymore. She didn't want to be one that always cried. But in the back of her head, there was a voice saying, It's okay to cry. You lost who you thought was your family. You lost your own baby. You lost Emmett. You just lost everything.
