I had just finished my shift when I saw Emily. She was sitting alone crying. I was worried. I hurried over to her.

"Emily what's wrong?" I asked as I put my hand on her shoulder.

"I'm stupid." She mumbled.

"Why?" I asked worried.

"He's been seeing other people for months." She said.

"Juan?" I asked.

"Yeah I caught him. He was making out with this blond. She was older. He said he wanted to see other people." She explained sobbing.

"Oh Em I'm so sorry." I said sincerely.

"I'm so embarrassed. I truly believed he was busy with his music. All of those late night recordings." Emily said.

"Emily you can't blame yourself if he cheated." I said.

"I wouldn't give it up to him." She told me.

"My shifts over let's go to my studio." I suggested.

"Okay." She mumbled.

We walked quietly with Francis. I was sure Emily didn't want Francis to know anything. When we arrived my phone rang. It was Nikalos. He said Juan called him looking for Emily.

"Nikalos she's here. She's really upset." I said.

"Can I come over?" Nikalos asked.

"Yes please hurry." I answered.

"Oh no now Nikalos will know what a dumb dumb I am." Emily said.

"Nikalos cares about you. So do me. Emily listen to me. This isn't your fault." I said again.

"I guess I'm just glad I didn't give him my virginity. That lying jerk." She said as we both lied.

"What did he do?" Jason shouted as he came through the door.

"Um Jason what are you doing here?" Emily asked him.

"Juan called me. He was worried about you. He said the two of you got into a fight and you ran off. He wouldn't tell me anything." Jason said.

"Calm down Jason. I'm stupid that's it." Emily said as she started to cry again.

"Oh Emily don't say that." Jason said hugging her.

"You know he's right. You should tell your brother." I said.

"What did Juan do?" Juan asked again.

"He was with another girl. They were kissing." Emily answered.

"He cheated on you." Jason shouted.

"Jason calm down. It was my fault he cheated.

"That weasel." Nikalos shouted from the door.

"Wonder how well Juan can dodge bullets." I said.

"She's right we could just rough him up." Jason said.

"Let's go." Nikalos said.

"Stop both of you. It's my fault. It's all my fault." Emily sobbed.

"Explain to me how him cheating is your fault?" Nikalos asked.

"I wasn't enough. I couldn't give him what he needed." Emily answered blushing.

"What else could he want? You're beautiful, kind, and very smart." Nikalos said shaking his head.

"I think Jason and I should go get dinner." I said.

"We should?" Jason said.

"Yeah you two stay here. When we get back we'll watch a movie." I suggested.

"Well I really don't want to go home." Emily said.

"A movie sounds good to me." Nikalos said.

"Did I miss something?" Jason asked as we got food.

"What do you means?" I asked back.

"Juan cheated and you seem happy and hopeful." Jason explained.

"I am and Juan is a jerk. I think two of my very good friends may finally end up together." I said.

"Nikalos and my sister. He's too old for her." Jason said.

"No he's not and age is only a number. He already loves her. She use to have a huge crush on him." I explain.

"Okay let's get some food." Jason said.
