Hi, guys. New chapter, whoo hoo! Do not own. If I did, Magnus would clearly be dating me. Like the last chappie, thanks to my friends: TheQueenOfDarknessTheFollowing and KateLovesToWrite. They have helped me in my chapters and just by being there.

Magnus's P.O.V.

I can't imagine what Emerald has been through. The way she reacted afterwards worried me. I'm scared she might do something drastic. As I looked at her now, she looked so peaceful with her blonde and emerald hair spread across the pillow. Her breathing was soft as she continued to sleep soundly. Trying to be as careful as possible, I pulled her towards me and held her close. Her sapphire eyes flew open. Next thing I knew, her lips were on mine. Our lips moved together for a few moments before I pulled back.

"Emerald, we need to talk about what happened," I said, my tone gentle but firm.

Her eyes grew wide with sadness and fear. "No. I don't want to talk about it," she whimpered.

"Well, your dad wants to meet and talk about what happened. He saw it all and wants to make sure you're okay," I tried to reason with her.

Emerald drew her eyebrows together, and her eyes flashed with anger. "I'm not going! There's no way you can make me."

I knew this was going to happen. When she doesn't want to talk to me or anyone else, she acts rude to everyone, hoping they'll leave her alone. Ignoring her glare and crossed arms, I pulled her close and kissed her. She took this as a sign we weren't going to discuss it anymore and was on top of me in a second. I stopped her before things could go any farther.

"Nope, we're still going to talk about this. So get up and get ready for life, because it's not gonna wait on you." I knew it was harsh, but it was what she needed to hear.

With a pout on her face, Emerald got up and got dressed for the day. When she finished, she looked beautiful. She wore a black tank top, leggings, and a leather jacket.

"You look pretty," I said with a grin.

She glared at me.

Emerald's P.O.V.

I so didn't want to get up, but Magnus made me. I wanted a chill period before I had to face my dad and relive Garrison's death, so I gave Magnus a kiss.

"Before I talk to my dad about what happened, I need to have a fat period," I said, hoping my eyes looked pleading enough. Magnus knew that a "fat period," meant eating something extremely unhealthy for comfort.

Hey, don't judge.

I could tell Magnus was considering it. Finally, he nodded. "Okay. Come home soon," he said.

Following the instructions Magnus had given me earlier, I made a portal to the outside of the nearest McDonald's in New York City. I stepped through the portal and closed it, making sure no one saw me use it. I enter and walk up to the counter. Fishing some money out of my pocket, I order a crispy chicken, bacon, ranch sandwich with honey mustard and extra large fries. Then I added a McFlurry to go with it. Go big or go home, right? After getting my order, I find a table and sit down to eat. Suddenly, someone sits down across from me. I look up from my food to see that wench, Jessica.

"What do you want, hoe?" I growl, anger boiling in my veins.

Jessica just laughs, making it obvious she wasn't intimidated by me.

I almost jumped across the table and punched her in the face.

"Well," she said, looking entirely too pleased with herself. "We want you to join us. Me and Surt."

"Ha, no. Sorry, but I don't join people like you."

Jessica smirks. "I can bring your brother back," she offers.

A spark of hope ignites inside of me, but I quickly smother it. "Umm, no. Because you're a liar and a killer. So, begone and let me get fat."

"You will join us, Emerald. Even if I have to force you," Jessica warned.

"How about, back off?" I snapped. I had one hand on the dagger I had stolen from her. I quickly used my other hand to whip out my phone and call Magnus.

"Hello?" He answered.

"Could you come and get me?" I asked. "Jessica is here and she wants me to join her."

"Be right there," Magnus said, his tone serious. "You're still at Mickey D's, right?"

"Yep, hurry," I responded. "And bring my dad. We've got a fight on our hands."

"Be right there," Magnus said before hanging up.

Jessica's P.O.V.

'Wow, I hate this girl. Is she really worth all of this? Because I don't think she is. She is SO annoying. I don't have time for this!' I grab a syringe out of the pocket of my pink jacket and lunge towards her. I jab the needle into her neck and push down on the plunger. The drugs flood Emerald's bloodstream and she passes out. I pull her up and throw one of her arms over my shoulder. Then I wrap one of my arms around her waist. As I start to half-drag, half-carry her out the door, a man approaches me.

"Is she okay?" The man asked worriedly.

"Yeah, my girlfriend just passed out. We had a wild night at a party last night. And before you ask, yes. I'm gay and find this particular girl beautiful," I responded with a smile.

'Ugh, people are so annoying,' I thought.

The man looks at us in disgust and walks away. No one else stops me as I drag Emerald out the door. As soon as I exit, I'm met by her infuriating boyfriend. 'Looks like I'm going to have to fight.' I lay Emerald down gently and prepare to kick her boyfriend's butt.

Plot twist and a cliffhanger. Please don't kill me. I'm so sorry I'm an EVIL GENIUS! I'm awesome, yay.
