Incident of a Lifetime

Emma twirled in her dress on more time before slowly heading down the stairs as her mother bid for her. Standing there was Sean in a matching blue suit. His hair was combed back, and he looked nervous as he shifted from one foot to the other. Smiling, she walked over to him.

"You look beautiful." He complimented her as he stared at her with such fascination that she only dreamt about. Blushing, she opened her mouth to thank him but she heard her mother begin talking.

"May I take one picture?" She asked. Rolling her eyes, she took Sean's arms in hers and smiled as her mother took the picture. Once she finished, Emma looked Sean over one more time.

"You look great." She said in awe. Blushing crimson, Sean sqeeuzed her hand lightly as he softly tugged her outside. Telling her to close her eyes as he opened the door, he smiled with satisfaction as he led her to the cur carefully.

"You can open them now." He said gently. Opening them slowly, Emma gasped softly in unison with her mother as they stared at the limousine in front of them. Tears welling up in her eyes, she looked at Sean.

"How'd you…" Sean placed a finger on her lips as his smile widened.

"Let's just hsve fun for tonight. I have another surprise for you after the dance ok?" Smiling, she nodded as he helped her inside the limo. Waving at her mother one more time, she wiped away a tear of happiness as the limo pulled off. Once they got there, Emma dragged Sean, and they immediately started dancing.

Emma took a deep breath as another song ended. Sean went to get drinks and she waited in a nearby seat with her legs folded neatly. Manny walked up to her, smiling as she stood next to Emma.

"Well hello." She said playfully. Smiling, Emma watched as Craig gave Manny a drink, as well as took a sip from the one for himself.

"It's a great party."

"Yea, but the decorations could be a little better. But all in all it's pretty." Rolling her eyes at her friends observation, Emma put her leg down and folded her hands neatly on top.

"Where's Cameron?" Craig asked as he looked off to the right.

"To get drinks, why?" Craig didn't have time to answer.

"Hey there." Adam said. Turning around in surprise, Emma smiled as he sat down next to her. Grunting in annoyance, Manny and Craig moved away, but stayed close by.

"Hello there. How are you?" Adam shrugged.

"I'm fine, but I could be much better if I was with you Emma." Gasping softly, Emma tried to hide the flush that was rising in her cheeks.

"Adam…"

"I know your into Cameron, but I think that things will be much better for you if your with me." Smiling slyly, Adam put his hand on Emma's inner lap, watching as she turned to stone. Shifting slightly, she made his hand drop as she looked at him with anger on her face. But before she could say anything, he placed his lips on hers.

Yelping at the force of his kiss, she couldn't help but grimace at the false love and passion in that kiss that was meant for her. She yelped as she felt his tongue running across her bottom lip, but as she pulled back Adam was knocked on the floor. Jumping up in surprise, Emma was a tad bit too late to stop Sean from kicking Adam one good time. Screaming for Sean to stop, Emma didn't notice the hundreds of kids that crowded around to see the fight. Sean was pinning Adam down, giving him blows to the face relentlessly until he was bloody, and still didn't stop.

Emma began crying as Craig and Spinner tried to break it up, but Sean was just too furious. Manny twirled Emma around and hugged her as she sobbed, whispering that it'll be ok, and that she was sorry. Looking at her, Emma didn't understand why she was apologizing, but she realized that now an ambulance was tending to Adam and policemen was now handcuffing Sean. She ran over to him and threw herself against his chest, sobbing and grabbing handfuls of his shirt.

"It's ok Emma." He said softly. She still didn't stop crying, and he heard the cop telling her to move with irritation. She continued to cry, until she was shoved away by another cop and fell into Craig's arms. Watching as they led him out the room, she turned around and began sobbing into Craig's chest as he hugged her tight. Mr.Raditch began instructing the children to go home, that the dance was over. Turning around, she saw a girl she never noticed before come to her with a letter and a little box.

"It came out his pocket. It has your name on it so…" She looked away as Emma took it. "I'm sorry for what happened." And with that she walked away quickly.

When Emma arrived home, she looked at the box and letter that she had set on her bed. Wiping her face from the tears of hurt once again, she took the letter and ripped it open.

To Emma,

I know I may be a clown, and I know that sometimes I do everything wrong, but I mean this out of the bottom of my heart.

You are probably the best thing to ever happen to me in a long time, and I don't want to lose you again. I understand Ellie and I were in love because we were the same. It was s friendship lovr that I thought I harbored for you, but I couldn've been more wrong. Ellie, I admit, she was there when I needed her, but ever since the Rick incident, I realized that I was willing to fight for you, die for you, do anything that would mean the end result would mean that you were ok. When you hugged me the following day, I wanted to so bad hug you back, tell you everything I've ever felt, but a new feeling washed over me, that frightened me, as well as made me happy.

It was a feeling of triumph, that I protected you, that I was there when you needed me, and for that, I am glad. To say that I love you would be an understatement. I have decided, that Ellie was right, and that I didn't understand how important you are to me. Whenever I want to see you with someone else, my heart hurts, and I want to cry. But I'm not the young boy that you first met anymore Emma, showing my emotions is not that easy anymore. Even when I treated you like crap, you were there by my side, even when I wanted to stay with my parents.

So Emma, I promise you my truthfulness, and even if we aren't together, I will, and can only think about you. I give this promise ring to you, and I hope that you feel the same about me when I sa this.

You are my everything Emma Nelson, and I love you more than anything.

Tears welling up in her eyes and hands trembling, she set the letter down and picked up the box and opened it. What greeted her with a gleam was a golden ring with Emma and Sean inscripted on it. Slipping it on, she smiled sadly.

" I love you more Sean Cameron."

Sean grunted as he was pushed into the cell and watched as the steel bars closed, rattling the whole building. Being familiar with it, he took off his jacket and took a seat on the dirty cot, coughing from the smell that emitted as soon as he was on it, jumping up in disgust, he frowned at the cot before standing up, half reclining against the room. Me and my stupid temper…He growled as he noticed a two shiny orbs watching his every move from across the hall.

"You been here before kid?" A raspy voice choked. Sean shrugged.

"

You can say that." The voice laughed at Sean's tone.

"You look like you had a date. What happened, caught her with somebody else?" Sean nearly choked.

"What! No…Emma wouldn't… I beat up this guy that was trying to kiss her."

"So she actually didn't get to it." Sean grunted in irritation. Emma wouldn't do that. She wasn't that kind of person. She would never leave him like that.

"No. Just shut up."

"Take it from me kid. They're all the same. You think you love them, and you think they love you, and you come home from work to find her on her knees with another dude in her mouth. Trust me, my wife won't do that again. She won't do anything again…." Sean shuddered as the voice began chuckling. He didn't sound too old, like he was 19 or something, but however old he was, the man was crazy.

"No, Emma's not like that. I know she would never do that to me." Sean couldn't help but sense the amusement from the person across the hall. Listening for an answer that wasn't going to come, Sean sighed as he sat down on his jacket that he put on the floor. He had a feeling he was going to hate it here. He didn't understand why he snapped like that. It's like something in him just let loose, like on Wasaga Beach. But the judge said three chances. This would be his second offense, meaning one more and he was jailbate.

Emma probably hates me right now. He sighed as he closed his eyes. She was crying though….Sean couldn't help but cringe at the look on her face, how she was sad, yet heartbroken at how he was being taken away from her once again. Most likely, he had lost his student welfare, and probably had to go live with his brother. But he would go to hell before he went anywhere near his brother. He didn't need him, all he needed was Emma, and he would be alright.

A/N

Sorry it's so short, but it'll be much longer as soon as I get some more ideas, I promise. So what do you think will happen, I have a plan for some pregnancies, definite lemons for sure…but I'm not really sure if I might end this story, as well as my InuYasha story. I have two more stories on if you would like to read them as well, so check them out. I am Cutee4eva originally, but because of the recent changes on the website, I was forced to become Yashaluva there also.
