"Morning," Emily yelled as she walked into the classroom. She looked around. "Where is everyone?"
"I sent them away," came Zane's voice.
Emily sighed in relife. "Oh Zane, I was wondering where everyone was," Emily smiled.
Zane smirked and walked over to Emily pulling her into a warm inbrace. "Emily," he hot breathe shook Emily's body.
"Zane."
Then suddenly, someone knocked the door off the hinges. Emily turned and saw her grandmother. "Why didn't you tell me?" Zane yelled pushing Emily backwards.
Emily hit the floor with a thump. "You're a no good piece of trash, just like your mother," Mrs.Lock scoffed.
Emily covered her ears. "No!" she yelled. "Stop this! I just want to be happy with Zane."
Emily woke up heavily panting. "Good grief," Mrs. Lock yelled. "Keep it down I'm trying to sleep."
Emily curled up against the sheets. Will Zane break up with me if he knew? She thought. "Zane."
--
"Is Emily up yet?" Zane asked, standing outside the door.
"Please come in," Mrs.Lock insisted.
Zane stepped through the door and looked around. "Wow," Zane gapsed. "This is huge."
"Thank you."
"Gradma," Emily yelled "Where's my school jacket?"
Zane picked up the red jacket hanging off one of the chairs. "Is this it?" he asked.
Emily blushed. She nodded took the jacket from Zane and ran down the rest of the stairs. She seems shocked to see me, Zane thought. What have I done? I am not a good enough boyfriend. Alright I'm not the most sensetive person but she doesn't care. What's going on? I can't put my finger on it. Emily put her jacket on grabbed her bag and dragged Zane out of the door. "Bye Grandma."
Zane stared at Emily as they walked to school, then he noticed something on the back of her neck. "Is that... a bruise?" he asked.
Emily covered her neck. "It's nothing," she lied.
Zane stopped. "Stop lieing for goodness sakes," Zane exclaimed.
"Look Zane, I don't want to talk about it."
"Hey guys," Jaden smiled. "What's up?"
"Nothing," Zane said. "Because someone doesn't want to talk about it."
Emily walked off leaving Zane and Jaden behind. Zane turned to Jaden with a look of anger. "What's going on with Emily?" he asked.
Damn, Jaden thought. I can't tell Zane. It should come from Emily. "Emily will tell you when she's ready."
"I found a bruise on Emily's neck. Where did it come from?" Zane asked.
"I don't know," Jaden lied.

Emily ran to the bathroom during pysical education. Emily pulled off her top and stared in the mirror. Her body was covered in cuts and brusies. Emily began to cry. What would Zane think of her now, seeing her in the state she was? Would he hate her? Would he care her?
Outside Zane walked past the bathroom, heading to his next class. He stopped at the sound of crying. Emily, Zane thought. Zane opened the bathroom door. Emily gasped and turned around. Emily felt like running into one of the stalls but Emily's feet were glued to the floor. Zane felt as if he could scream at Emily. Had she been self harming? Why hadn't she told Zane about this? Instead, Zane walked over to Emily and held her tight. Zane could feel Emily's tears against his shoulder. Zane rubbed Emily's back lovingly. Emily hissed in pain. "Zane," Emily whimpered. "I'm sorry."
Zane kissed the top of Emily's head. "It's okay," Zane assured Emily. "I still love you. Now come on."
"Where?" Emily asked.
"To the nurses office," Zane said. Zane looked down and blushed deep red. "But first put your shirt on."
Emily blushed and looked down. She put her shirt on and Zane lead her to the nurse's office.

Jaden looked at the clock. Its sixth period, where's Emily? He thought. "Okay class now partner up with the person sitting nextto you and discuss the project," Mr.Nako ordered. Of course Jaden went with Jesse. (Like that's a surprise.)
"So Jaden what do you want to do for the science project?" Jesse asked.
"I don't know," Jaden shrugged.
"Still worried about Emily?" Jesse sighed. Jaden nodded. "I'm sure she's fine. Hey it's Emily."
"Jesse there's something about her you don't know," Jaden blurted.
"What?"
"Emily's parents died when she was a very young age."

"So my grandma strated to abbuse me on a regular basis," Emily sighed. "After my sister and brothers went to live my coisins out of town."
Zane bowed his head. "What I want to know is why you didn't tell me," Zane said.
"Becasue I thought you wouldn't want to be with me. That I'm just worthless like me mother," Emily cried. Emily handed oveer a photo of her family when she was about five.
Zane stared at the photo and smiled. He leanedover the bed and kissed Emily. "We all have something to hide," he smiled. "But if this ever happens again you run as fast as you can to my house or even Jaden's, got it?"
Emily flung herself at Zane. "Thank you."

"Hey," Jaden yelled walking into the room. Jaden sighed when hee saw Emily fast asleep with Zane sitting in the chair next to her. "Guess you know."
Jaden sat on the chair next to Zane.
"Yeah," Zane nodded. "I guess there's no secrets between us anymore."
"That's good," Jaden grined. Jaden stood up. "Well I guess I got to go. Jesse should have finished soccor practice now."
"Okay," Zane smiled. "See you later then."
"Tell Emily I stopped by."
"Will do."

Jesse stood outside the locker room waiting for Jade. "Where is he?" he asked..no one.
"Who cares?" came Alexis' voice.
Jesse backed up againt the wall. "Get out of her Alexis. It's because of you Emily and Zane's relationship nearly broke up."
"I wannted that to happen. What's the point in being a love rival if I don't play dirty?"
Alexis closed the gap between her and Jesse. "Jesse," came Jaden's voice.
Alexis kissed Jesse full on the lips. "Sorry, I'm late Jesse," Jaden breathed. Jaden gasped and began to cry. "Jesse, how could you?"
Jesse pushed Alexis away. "Jaden it's not what it looks like," Jesse tried to explain.
"Don't bother," Jaden yelled running back home.
Jesse fell to the ground. "Sorry Jesse," Alexis laughed as she walked off.
Jaden, Jesse thought. Now he'll never trust me again. I've lost the best thing that ever hapened to me.
