"I've never seen that before." Said Emma trying to keep the fear she was feeling out of her voice.

"It fell out of your book bag when I went to movie it." Said Snake

"Why do you have this Emma?" her mother asked already knowing the answer, but wanting to hear it from Emma herself.

At that moment Emma could not come up with anymore lies, she again was caught.

"Answer me Emma!" Spike screamed.

Manny and Craig stood at the top of the basement stairs, both too scared to take any steps forward because they didn't want to get involved in the situation at all. Manny grabbed Craig's hand and squeezed it out of fear, she hated seeing families fight. Emma was as a loss for words and was out of lies. She still didn't think she had a problem, to her; it was everyone else who had the problem.

"Just let it go, alright mom?" Emma replied, trying her best to stay calm.

"I will not drop it. Do you think we're stupid?" Her mother screamed on the verge of losing her temper.

"You don't understand! None of you do!" Emma said as tears started to feely fall down her face.

"Make us understand." Said Snake, pleading with her. He hated seeing her this way, it broke his heart.

Emma turned around to see if she could escape to the basement but only found Craig and Manny standing there watching in horror.

"You are going to sit down and eat a meal with us right now! I don't understand why you're acting like this. You're life has not been that hard or complicated Emma!" her mother screamed loudly. She screamed so loud that all of them swore that all of Canada heard her. Emma couldn't believe what her mother had just said to her. Has her mother not been paying attention the last five years of Emma's life?

"What?" she screamed back. "You're kidding me, right? My life hasn't been hard? Well, let's recap, shall we? Ever since I was born, I had an absent father who I tracked down a little more than two years ago, only to find him in a mental hospital. I was almost raped by an online pedophile four years ago. You married one of my teachers and had a baby with him and I got shifted down to the basement like I didn't matter anymore. Snake got cancer, so I had to play nurse Emma, as Sean, my first true love put it, who then proceeded to rip my heart out of my chest and stomp on it because he decided to get involved in a bad crowd. Then there was the shooting, and I had a gun pointed at my head and had Rick threaten to kill me." Emma said crying uncontrollably. "Then I watched him die right in front of me! Then Sean left and I became the new slut of the Ravine, who got a social disease. Then you two had your brief split up because he couldn't keep his lips to himself." She said pointing to Snake. "So don't you dare say that my life hasn't been hard and that I have nothing to be angry, upset or confused about. DON'T YOU DARE!" she said with the last scream she had left in her and stomping her foot loudly.

The room was silent now. Everyone was affected by what was just said and didn't know how to react.

"Emma, we're sorry. But this is not the way to handle it. Just tell us why you feel you need to do this!" Said Snake.

Emma couldn't stop crying. She didn't like it when she was put on the spot in front of people. She hated being the center of attention.

"No! You don't deserve an explanation!" she said trying to control her tears. "But you want me to eat? Okay, I'll eat!" she said as she walked into the kitchen.

She went to the stove where her mother was cooking some rice and beans; she grabbed a plate off of the table, and started piling food on her plate.

'I'll show you that I'm fine!" then she started spooning the food into her mouth. She was trying to stop herself from gagging as she consumed the food off of the plate.

"Em, please stop!" said Manny quietly as tears started to fill her eyes. All of them were watching Emma in horror, none of then have ever seen her out of control like this before.

"Shut up Manny!"

She finished the pile of rice and put the plate down on the counter. She turned her back to everyone and was trying to control her gagging. She couldn't believe what she had just done; she had to get the food out. She turned around and in a matter of seconds she thought of a plan. She walked over to her mom and looked her right in the eye.

"I'm sorry mom." Emma said insincerely.

"It's okay honey. We'll get you better help besides the school." Her mother replied.

"Not for that."

"For what then?" her mother asked with a puzzled look on her face,

"For this." Emma grabbed the bottle out of Snakes hand and attempted to go run up the stairs. Snake ran after her and grabbed her arms. Emma attempted to push him away but she had no strength left in her.

"Emma, stop it! This isn't going to solve anything!" he said attempting to calm her down.

"Let me go! I have to get it out!" she screamed.

"Emma no!" he said as he took the bottle out of her hands and tossed it on the couch so it wouldn't break.

"Leave me alone!" she said still trying to get free from his grip.

"Calm down! We're going to get you help Emma! It's okay to be scared, but you don't have to do this to get rid of it!" he said trying to keep his tears back. Emma collapsed into his arms and freely started to cry. She couldn't control her emotions and couldn't stop shaking no matter how hard she tried.

"It's okay Emma. I've got you! I'm not going to let anything happen to you." Said Snake.

Emma stood up from him and slowly started walking towards the kitchen. She turned around to face them all. Her face was stained with mascara that had run from her tears. Emma looked at them with a blank stare; there was no color left her face. Then suddenly a look of fear came across her face.

"Mom." Emma called out in a scared way.

"Yes honey?" her mother said walking towards her.

"I can't breathe again." She said, and then fell over and hit the floor.

"Emma! No, not again!" Snake screamed as she knelt down next to Emma. "Call 911!"
