She couldn't believe he was here. Last time she saw him was when he decided to stay with his parents after the shooting. She had heard some rumors that he was back in town but she didn't believe it. Now she had solid proof.

"Oh my god!" she said as she stood up and flung her arms around him. "What are you doing here!"

"I'm back in town visiting for a little while."

"Wow," she was at a loss of words. Then she remembered that Peter was there. For a minute she actually forgot he was sitting there.

"Oh, Sean! Sorry. This is Peter—"she paused 'my boyfriend."

Sean's stomach dropped. He knew he wasn't really here for Ellie, the tattoo on his chest proved it.

"Oh, hey man! Nice to meet you." He said putting out his hand. Peter shook his hand

"You too." He replied.

Emma could sense the tension in the air. She could sense an awkward moment from a mile away.

"Well, it was great seeing you again Emma. I have to go though; I told Jay I would meet him at The Dot. He's still fixated on winning Alex back. He won't tell me why she broke up with him, but I'm going to get it out of him!"

Emma's hear sank into her stomach. She was hoping Sean would never find out what happened between her and Jay at the Ravine. If he ever found out he would never speak to her again or Jay.

"Oh, okay. It was great seeing you!" she said as she gave him a firm hug goodbye.

"Bye." He said and he gave Peter a nod and walked a way.

"Old friend?" Peter asked as Emma stood watching Sean walk away.

"You could say that." She said as she sat back down next to him.

"Oh, so he's that kind of old friend! Let me guess, ex-boyfriend?"

Emma looked at him and didn't say a word. Her eyes gave him the answer he needed.

"You have nothing to worry about, Peter. We've been over for a really long time."

"I'm not worried!" he replied, lying.

"Come on, let's go. I promised my parents I'd be home for dinner." Emma said with a frown.

"Alright."

They got up and started waling hand in hand. Emma had only one thing on her mind and it was Sean finding out about the Emma from the Ravine. Emma knew only trouble was bound to come from this.

"You okay?" Peter asked causing her to snap out of her trance.

"Yeah, sorry. Just tired, that's all." She replied.

All she could think about was Sean. All the feelings she had for him came flooding back when she saw him. She had to talk to Manny about it. Peter walked her to the door like a gentlemen. They spent a while "saying goodnight." They finally broke apart from kissing after a couple of minutes.

"Goodnight" Emma said with a smile.

"Goodnight beautiful."

Emma walked into the house only to be greeted by the smell of cooking food. It automatically made her sick to her stomach.

"Emma is that you?" she heard her mom Spike call from the kitchen.

"Yeah."

"Manny's downstairs with Craig. I told Craig he could stay for dinner. It will be ready in a couple of minutes. You know the deal after you eat."

"Yes mom, I know. You don't have to remind me before every meal. But I promise you, I'm better! It was just a stupid phase."

"I'll judge that for myself!"

"Whatever, I'm going downstairs."

She walked down the stairs to her bedroom only to find Craig and Manny deep into a make out session on her bed.

"You know, you guys really have to find a new place to make out." Emma said.

They both separated and looked at Emma.

"Sorry Em. We didn't think you'd be home so soon." Manny said in embarrassment.

"Yeah, well you of all know my mom is not letting me miss a meal."

Craig and Manny looked at each other worriedly. They thought Emma wouldn't catch on, but she did.

"Guys, I'm okay" she said angrily.

"Yeah, we know Emma." Craig said not really believing her.

Emma had to change the subject quick before it led into another argument.

"You guys are never going to believe who I saw!" she said as she sat on the floor at the foot of her bed.

Both Craig and Manny rolled off the bed and sat on each side of her on the floor.

"Who?" they asked in unison.

"Sean."

"What!" Manny asked. "When did he get back into town?"

"I don't know, but he said he was only visiting."

"Wow, what was he up to? Craig asked

"He was on his way to see Jay at The Dot!" Emma said in sad voice. "Jay is so going to tell him what happened at the Ravine in my moment of stupidity!"

"Do you really think Jay is going to tell him?" Manny asked.

"Yes! Sean said he was fixated on getting Alex back and I was part of the reason that they broke up. So he is definitely going to find out!"

"Well, you know what!" Craig said interrupting them. "You don't need to get yourself depressed. Me and Manny were invited to a party tonight, some college guy that I know is throwing it in his dorm room."

"Yeah, like my mom and dad would let me go. I'm not on their trustworthy list right now." She replied.

"You can sneak out. You have the perfect escape window, and it's easy to come back into."

Emma really wanted to go. She thought about it for a couple of seconds. She really needed a night out after all the recent drama.

"Okay. But if I get in trouble, it's entirely fault." Emma said pointing at Craig.

"Alright. I will totally take all the blame." said Craig crossing his heart.

"Guys! Dinner is ready!" Snake called from the top of the basement stairs.

"Ugh, great. My favorite time of the day. Meal time!" Emma said with a sarcastic tone.

Craig and Manny gave each other a look again; they knew Emma wasn't better, and that it was going to be a long time before she was recovered.

Everyone sat at the table in silence. Snake and Spike didn't take their eyes off of Emma. Emma forced the food into her mouth. She was disgusted with the fact that she was putting so many calories into her body. She finished all the food on her plate. She stood up to put her plate into the sink and started to walk away. She thought maybe she would be able to get away without them remembering the half hour rule. She had to get the food out of her body. She reached for the door to the basement and started to put her foot on the first step.

"Emma! I don't think so!" her mom said standing up from the table. "Sit!" she said pointing to the couch in the living room. Emma was so close yet, so far. She couldn't wait to go to this party that Craig was telling her about. She needed a night away and at this point she didn't care if she got caught or not. She needed to get out of the house as soon as possible before she went crazy.
