I've Been in Love Before…

Scene-Emma is sitting in MI not really paying attention.

Snake was babbling on about something or other. Emma didn't really care. She was thinking about a dream that she had last night…

Emma was walking down the hallway of the shooting. It seemed like just another normal day of school. But when she walked over the exact spot where she was standing when Rick tried to shoot her something happened. She felt someone's hand grabbing her arm. She looked beside her and Sean appeared.

"Sean?" She whispered.

Sean leaned in and kissed her. She kept her eyes closed long after the kiss was over. Her lips tingled. When she opened her eyes she saw Sean's face twisted in terror. She looked where Sean's gaze fell. Rick was standing in front of her and Sean. He was covered in yellow paint and white feathers. Emma was terrified. She realized that she was back in the same reoccurring dream she'd been having for almost a month now. She knew exactly what was going to happen. She saw Rick's mouth moving. She knew he was talking but she didn't hear him. She could only her heartbeat…soon joined by Sean's heartbeat. Toby was no where in sight. Rick raised the gun to shoot her.

"I love you, Em." Sean whispered in her ear before stepping in between her and Rick.

Sean grabbed the gun and he struggled to get it free from Rick's grasp. The gun went off and Sean and Rick both fell to the floor. Emma now only heard her own heartbeat. She screamed. She ran over to Sean.

"SEAN! SEAN!" She screamed his name so loud her lungs got hoarse.

Emma knelt down beside Sean's body. Rick's body was lifeless and covered in blood. Sean had a little bit of blood on his hoodie but it didn't look like his own. Sean lay there motionless. Emma started shaking Sean's body.

"Sean! Sean! Sean, please wake up! Sean! Please, please wake up! Sean you can't die! NO!"

Suddenly Sean's hand moved. He put his hand slowly overtop of Emma's hand, which was now lying on his chest.

"Em?"

"Sean!"

Emma threw her body overtop of Sean's. She hugged him so tight. Sean only hugged her back. He seemed emotionless.

"Sean, are you ok?"
Sean didn't bother to answer. His lips met hers. Their kiss started off soft but soon became hard and urgent. It seemed like it lasted forever. When their kiss finally ended Emma pulled her head back to look at him. He was crying.

"Emma I love you."

Emma was confused.

"I love you too Sean. But why…"

Emma's voice trailed off when she saw the blood. This time it wasn't Rick's. Sean suddenly fell back on the floor. His chest had a bullet whole in it and his body was covered in blood. Emma screamed in horror.

"NOOOOOOOOO!"

She didn't remember seeing Sean get shot. And now he was dead. She touched her lips remembering when they'd just kissed. She heard footsteps coming down the hallway. Tears were streaming down her face as she looked to see who it was. She saw Peter walking down the hallway towards her. When she looked back at Sean's body, it was gone. Emma touched the floor where his body just was.

"Hey, Em!" Peter said happy.

Emma wasn't crying anymore for some reason. Peter pulled her up and kissed her. When she pulled apart from their kiss, Peter had turned into Sean.

"I love you Emma. I need you." Sean said before disappearing again.

After Sean said that, Emma always woke up. And this week, Emma was not in the mood to have that dream. It scared the hell out of her. She always loved feeling Sean's kisses again. But she couldn't bear watching him die like that. Emma was having a bad week already, not to mention the fact that she'd had to watch Sean die again. Emma had accidentally agreed to go to Peter's house tonight for a date. She wasn't really listening and said "yeah" thinking he was talking about his shirt or something. But then she'd found out later that she was suppose to come over for a special romantic dinner. She wasn't in the mood for that. Peter wasn't really a wiz with the romance. Emma thought the dinner was just a ploy to get her in bed or something. But Peter assured her there would be no sex involved. Emma touched her lips remembering Sean's wonderful, passionate kisses. Then she remembered Peter's sloppy, messy, rough kisses. She didn't like them at all. But she knew she had to at least try and get over Sean. He'd left after all. Emma looked at the empty seat next to her. She saw Sean sitting there talking about double cheese and his couch. She smiled. She always thought about that moment when she sat in MI. "Too bad Sean isn't here for real." She thought.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Emma looked down at her short black dress. It was the one she wore the day she kind of sort of got together with Peter. She played with the hem of it. Peter had ordered Chinese and tried to set up a romantic type dinner at his kitchen table. Emma wasn't impressed. She didn't even like Chinese. All she was interested in eating was double cheese pizza. Emma laughed…it was a fake laugh that she always tried to pass off as real when Peter said something that he thought was funny. It never was funny. Suddenly Peter got up and sat in the chair next to Emma. He took her hand.

"Em, there's something I have to tell you." He said smiling.

"Oh um, ok."

Peter just stared at her smiling for a second before continuing.

"What does he want a prize for speaking or something?" Emma thought to herself.

"Em, I know we haven't been dating that long. But I feel like I've known you my entire life! I can't believe I went on all those years without you in it. Emma, I love you." Peter said. He smiled at her. Emma was completely shocked. This was just supposed to be her "get over Sean experiment." No one was supposed to fall in love.

"What? Peter we haven't even been seeing each other for a month!"

"I know but, I've never felt this way about a girl before. It must be love!"

Emma was still shocked. Not only was Peter in love with her, but she was his first love.

"Peter this is insane!" Emma said as she jerked her hand away from his.

Peter's face twisted into anger.

"Are you saying that you don't love me back?" Peter said, his voice starting to rise.

"Yes! That's exactly what I'm saying! Peter I hardly know you."

Peter's face started to get red with anger.

"Fine! Fine, just get out!"

Emma didn't bother to say another word. She grabbed her purse and started to walk out the door. She heard Peter run up the stairs. She started to feel bad. She was stringing him along…and now he'd told her he loved her. Emma decided she'd go up to his room and apologize to him. She'd tell him that she didn't love him but she liked him a lot. She didn't want to hurt him. She walked up the stairs and toward Peter's room. His door was open so she just walked in. When she did, she saw Peter sitting on his bed. He had his head in his hands. She noticed that a few candles were lit around the room and a box of condoms on the night stand.

"What in the hell?"

Peter jumped up at the sound of her voice.

"Emma?"

Emma put it all together in her head.

"So you just told me you loved me so you could get me into bed? How easy do you think I am?"

Peter tried to say that wasn't it but Emma didn't want to hear it.

"You know what Emma you are easy! You fucking got gonorrhea from Jay. And I actually love you and you can't sleep with me! What in the hell is that?!"

"Fuck you Peter. And besides, you may think you're in love, but you're not. I've been in love before Peter, and this….this just isn't it! And it never will be!" Emma screamed at him. She ran down the stairs and out the door.

"I've been in love before…and then he left." Emma whispered before walking away from Peter's house.
