Thanks for the reviews! I stayed up until 11 last night writing more so here ya go!

"Emster!"

"Chadinater!" Emily screamed as she ran towards Chad and tackled him in a hug.

"Ok Chad, I just go my sister back. Please don't suffocate her within the first 48 hours back home." Troy laughed. Chad let go of Emily somewhat reluctantly. Zeke and Jason each took their turns hugging her. Emily stood back and looked at the boys. They had been there when Troy couldn't. She couldn't even begin to count the times they had been by her side, whether she needed them or not.

She remembered one summer when Troy went to basketball camp, her friend got into a car wreck and was severely injured. They didn't know if she was going to live or die. So Zeke -who sprained his ankle and couldn't go- came over.

"Here," Zeke said placing a plate of cookies in front of her, "these should help."

Emily's head was lying on the table. She glanced at the plate in front of her. Emily studied it for a moment, then picked up a cookie. "Zeke, these are excellent!" She exclaimed after taking a bite.

Zeke smiled. "Glad you like them," he pulled another batch from the oven, "because there's plenty more where they came from." Emily's jaw dropped in shock.

"Wait..Zeke, you...bake?!"

Zeke leaned over and shut her mouth. "Yeah, but don't mention it to anyone. Especially the guys.."

To this day, Emily kept his secret. Then, one time Jason had taken care of a bully she didn't want Troy to know about.

"Poor little Bolton can't defend herself?" Clark Benson said backing Emily into a corner on the basketball courts outside.

"Clark, leave me alone." Emily declared with confidence. Clark didn't like Emily's tone. He lifted his hand to strike her.

"Benson, I wouldn't do that if I were you." Jason's voice traveled across the court.

"Oh really?" Clark turned around, "What are you going to do?"

"You really don't wanna find out." Jason's voice was full of spite. When Clark didn't answer, Jason threw a basketball at him hard, hitting him in the stomach. "Get out of here, Benson." With that, Clark high-tailed it out of there.

But her all-time favorite memories were from times with Chad...

"Okay, open your eyes." Chad's voice was full of excitement. Emily opened her eyes.

"Chad, what is this?" In front of her sat a book with 'Emily Katherine Bolton' painted on the front.

"Open it." He said simply.

Emily shrugged and opened the book. The front page had that same thing written on it. Except, someone had taken a big red marker and put a big X across it, then wrote 'Emster' instead. The rest of the book was filled with pictures of her and the guys. The last page listed their e-mail, house address, house number, and cell number.

"Chad...what?" Emily asked as a smile cracked across her face.

"So you can always get in touch with one of us while you're away at boarding school."

Tears formed in Emily's eyes. "Thanks, Chad. It's great." She hugged Chad.

"Earth to sis?" Troy said waving his hand in front of Emily's face.

"Oh, sorry." Emily snapped back into reality. The group made their way to the pizza parlor. Once she walked in, she was overwhelmed by the screaming of "SURPRISE! WELCOME BACK, EMILY!"

Hope you liked it!
