Emma was starting to wonder if Peter was suspecting anything, he knew that Sean was in town and Emma told him all about their history when he walked her home the other night from The Dot. It was finally the last class of the day and Emma felt like a circus act was being performed in her stomach, being nervous was a big cause of this but also that fact that she had no food in her stomach.

"Hey Em, me and Craig are going to the library to study after I get out of school. Wanna come?" Manny whispered from behind her.

"Can't, I have plans with Peter." Emma told Manny this lie because she knew that she would get the third degree when she heard she was really going to meet Sean. "Besides, you two always say you're going to 'study' but it always leads into a major make out session which, I always seem to be present for, so this time I'll pass." She said. As she was finishing her sentence the bell rang and it felt as if the circus in her stomach was now beginning their grand finale. Emma stood up and suddenly got very dizzy. She grabbed onto the front of the desk and stumbled back a little bit into Manny.

"Whoa, Em. You okay?" Manny asked putting her hands on her best friends back to stop her from falling any further.

"Yeah, sorry! I just got up way too fast. I'm okay."

"Okay…" said Manny, trailing off not knowing whether to fully believe her or not.

"I've got to go meet Peter though. I'll see you later when I get home." Emma said as she grabbed her book bag off the top of her desk and ran out before Manny could ask her anymore questions. Emma felt like she had more control this time around. She was going to try her best not to make it obvious. No more outbursts, baggy clothes, and this time she was going to keep her food journal in her head so no one could read it.

Meanwhile, since Sean was also very nervous he decided to get The Dot early so he knew he would be there before Emma. He sat outside on the bench, looking at his watch every two seconds. As Sean was sitting there he glanced across the street and saw Craig walking.

"Hey Craig!" Sean screamed across the street. Craig looked over and saw Sean. He went to the curb, looked both ways and then quickly ran across the street avoiding the on coming traffic.

"Hey man. How's it going?" Craig asked as they both sat down on the bench.

"Good." Said Sean who was shaking his leg non-stop out of nervousness.

"What are you doing just sitting here?" asked Craig.

"Waiting, for Emma. I asked her to meet me here."

"Oh, how is she doing after last night?"

"She said she was okay when I talked to her on the phone this morning. I don't know whether to believe her or not though."

"Yeah. That's the story of her life recently." Said Craig, with sadness in his voice.

"What do you mean by that?" Sean asked, Craig's comment caused him to stop shaking his leg.

"Nothing." He answered quickly realizing what he had just said probably wasn't a good idea.

"Obviously you meant something by it. Tell me!"

"Alright, you cannot, and I mean, cannot tell Emma that I told you!" Craig said

"Fine, just tell me!" Sean demanded.

"About two and half months ago Mr. Simpson cheated on Emma's mom."

"Wow." Said Sean cutting Craig off.

"Yeah, it gets worse!" he replied. "So, Emma was sneaking around with the son of the women Mr. Simpson cheated with, Peter. And let's just say, he doesn't have the best reputation in town."

"Why?"

"That's a story for another day. But anyway, so she was trying to hide the new relationship of hers and Mr. and Mrs. Simpson were fighting and broke up for a while, so she felt like she had no control in her life and was trying to find ways to get it back. She chose a bad way to do that."

"And what would that be?" asked Sean anxiously.

"She's anorexic Sean." Sean's heart dropped into stomach. He couldn't believe it. He always knew Emma to be strong and always be the one who was able to fix things. He was the one to do dangerous things, not her. "Her parents found out, she's going to therapy now and we're all keeping a close eye on her."

"Wow. I never expected Emma to do something like that." Said Sean in disbelief.

"Yeah none of us did. But I got to go. I promised Manny I would go to the library with her and help her with a paper and then we're going back to the Simpson's for dinner. Didn't mean to kill your mood, man." Said Craig, regretting what he just told Sean.

"No, you didn't. Thanks for telling me!" Sean said as Craig slowly walked away.

A few minutes passed and Sean just sat with his head down and his elbows rested on his knees.

"Hey." He hears a tiny voice say from behind him. He turned around quickly to see Emma standing there and immediately got to his feet.. Even with an injured eye she looked absolutely beautiful to him.

"Hey. That looks painful, you okay?" he said pointing to her eye.

"Oh, yeah. It's worse than it looks." She said.

They stood there in awkward silence for a couple of seconds, then Sean pointed at the bench signaling Emma to sit down with him.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" Emma asked.

"I just wanted to see you in person to make sure you were okay."

"I'm fine Sean. Really, my eye doesn't even hurt anymore."

"Okay. But I mean, overall, are you okay? I haven't seen you since the shooting and a lot of people have changed after that."

"That's something I don't really like to talk about. That was a horrible day for the whole town and we have all moved on."

"Yeah, I guess but can I ask you a question?"

"Sure." She said looking down at the ground.

"I was talking to someone before you came and they told me something that happened to you recently and I just wanted to see if it was true."

"Who told you that and what exactly did they tell you?" said Emma standing up..

"It's not important who told me but they said that you were—" Sean didn't want to say it out loud. He wasn't sure if he really wanted to know the truth.

"That I was what?" Emma screamed crossing her arms. Sean stood up and attempted to walk towards her and she stepped back.

""That you were Anorexic Emma." Sean said looking away not wanting to make eye contact with her.

"What! That is so untrue and the fact that you even had to question me about that is beyond me!" Emma screamed as she started to walk away. Sean grabbed her arm to stop her from walking away and turned her around to face him.

"I wasn't accusing you, I was just asking. I never said I believed it. It was just a way of telling you that I'm here if you need me."

"Who told you?" she demanded.

Sean looked down at the ground and answered, "Craig."

Emma was shocked. She never thought that Craig would betray her like that. She was wrong.

"Well, you said you would always be there for me. Well you weren't Sean, remember? You ran away after the shooting and didn't come back for almost a year. And then you expect everyone to be the same? Well they're not! So don't you dare come back here and tell me you're here for me!" said Emma as she stormed away. She was so angry at Sean, at Craig, and mostly at herself. She felt like she was losing control again and she only knew one way to get rid of that feeling. She went into a tiny diner down the street from The Dot which was not as popular so she knew she would most likely not see anyone from school. She ordered a large order of fires and a greasy crispy chicken sandwich. She ate it faster than she had eaten anything in her entire life. She then proceeded to go into the bathroom and repeat what she did about 3 hours ago in the nurse's office. She felt a little better after. She knew that Craig was going to be at her house again with Manny so she decided to go confront him.

She walked through her front door and slammed the door shut causing herm other to jump.

"Emma, what's wrong?" her mother asked.

"Nothing, it's just been a really long day."

"Craig and Manny are downstairs again. "

"I know!" she said as she threw her book bag on the couch and ran for the stairs to her room. She ran down the stairs and again found Craig and Manny deep into a make out session.

"Get out Craig!" said Emma throwing a pillow from the floor at him.

"Nice to see you too." He said with a laugh.

"You think I'm kidding! GET OUT!" she screamed as she pointed at the stairs.

"Whoa Em, what's going on?" asked Manny who was in shock from Emma's behavior.

"Craig I can't believe you! You told Sean!"

"Told him what?" asked Manny looking to Craig for the answer.

"He told Sean about my eating disorder. Which in my opinion was totally blown out of proportion!"

"Emma, calm down. I thought he had a right to know." Said Craig attempting to defend himself.

"Even if he did, it shouldn't have come from you!"

Craig was about to answer when they were interrupted by Snake screaming at the top of the stairs.

"Emma get up here, now!" they could all sense some anger in his voice.

All three of them ran up the stairs and saw Spike and Snake sitting at the kitchen table.

"What's this?" asked Snake as he held up the secret liquid that Emma was hiding in her book bag, which she was using to help her with her attempt to get control back in her life. She was busted!
