She said threateningly

I let her go and she started running again... I was pissed, whoever did this is getting his ass kicked by me but I had to wait till the end of the day.

 

Chapter 7- Pain and Regret

 (Isaiah's POV)

 

"Hey where's Em?" I asked to Ally after school

"I don't know, I haven't seen her since lunch"

"Have you seen her Caleb?" I asked him as soon as he walked up to us

"Um yeah" He said quietly

"Really where is she?" I asked 

"She went home"

"Really when?" We both asked

"During lunch"

"Why?"

"I don't know, she was uspet but she wouldn't tell me why"

"O, have you seen Ashton?" Ally asked

"Not y..." He was about to say but stopped 

"what?" We both asked confused

He grabbed us both and turned us around

"What happened to him?" Ally asked

"He looks like a mess" I said 

"Wait he's not coming over here" Caleb observed

"Why not he knows we always meet up at the end of the day" Ally said

"Hey yo Ashton!" I yelled

He looked at us but the he quickly walked away

"Did you see that handprint on his face?"

"OMG" Caleb screeched

"What?" We both asked 

"He's the reason she went home"

"What do you mean?"

"She said that I should ask the asshole with the handpring on his face"

"Wait so she slapped Ashton!?!?!?!" Ally said surprised

"I guess so"

"But Emma never gets that mad, she's alwayas the calm one" I said

"Well he must of pushed her over the edge"

"O no..." I said scared

"What, what's wrong?" They asked me

"If she did that, right after she was sad and she's home alone... I have to go like now!" I said and ran as fast as I could

"Wait what's wrong" They yelled after me

"I'll call you as soon as I make sure she's ok"

"ok"

"I'm going to go find Ashton and make him tell me what happened" Ally said

"I'll go over to Emma's house and see if she's ok"

"Ok" she said

 

At Home

 

"Hello, is anyone home?" I asked as soon as I was in the door

No response... I listened for a while, I heard running water and... music? It sounds like... Photograph by Nickelback, that's her favorite song. But I dont know where it's coming from, guess I have to follow the music.

Look at this photograph 

Everytime I do it makes me laugh

How did our eyes get so red

And what the hell is on Joey's head

 

And this is where I grew up

I think the present owner fixed it up

I never knew we'd ever went without

The second floor is hard for sneaking out

 

And this is where I went to school

Most of the time had better things to do

Criminal record says I broke in twice

I must have done it half a dozen times

 

I wonder if it's too late

Should I go back and try to graduate

Life's better now than it was back than

If I was them I wouldn't let me in

 

Oh, oh, oh 

Oh, god, I

 

Every memory of looking at the back door 

I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor 

It's hard to say it, time to say it 

Goodbye, goodbye 

 

Every memory I'm walkin' out the front door

Found the photo of the present I was looking for

It's hard to say it, time to say it 

Goodbye, goodbye

 

Remember the old arcade

Blew every dollar that we ever made 

The cops hated us hangin' out

They say somebody went and burned it down

 

We used to listen to the radio 

And sing along with every song we know 

We said someday we'd find out how it feels

To sing to more than just the steering wheel

 

Kim's the first girl I kissed

I was so nervous I nearly missed 

She's had a couple of kids since then

I havent seen her since god know when

 

oh, oh, oh

Oh, god, I

 

Every memory of looking at the back door 

I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor 

It's hard to say it, time to say it 

Goodbye, goodbye

 

Every memory I'm walkin' out the front door

Found the photo of the present I was looking for

It's hard to say it, time to say it 

Goodbye, goodbye

 

 I miss that town 

I miss the faces

You can't erase

You can't replace it

I miss it now

I can't believe it

So hard to stay

Too hard to leave it

 

If I could relive those days

I know the one thing that would never change

 

 

Every memory of looking at the back door 

I had the photo album spread out on my bedroom floor 

It's hard to say it, time to say it 

Goodbye, goodbye

 

Every memory I'm walkin' out the front door

Found the photo of the present I was looking for

It's hard to say it, time to say it 

Goodbye, goodbye

 

Look at this photograph

Everytime I do it makes me laugh

Everytime I do it makes me...

 

"Finally" I said as soon as I opened the door to my sister's room

"What are you doing here?" She said

"I live here"

"You know what I mean"

"Because I know you need me"

"Well your wrong, I don't need you, I don't need anybody"

"Fine, but I'm going to stay right here until you say you need me"

I walked over to her bed and sat next to her, she came closer to me and buried her face into my chest and let it all out

"thank you"

"Your my sister, I would never let you go through this alone"

"..."

We sat there like that for 20 minutes 

"Do you want to tell me what happened and why you slapped Ashton?"

"No"

"Why not?"

"Because you'll hate me"

"I could never hate you, your the only family I have"

"Ok, but you have to swear you won't tell anyone"

"I swear on our parent's grave I won't tell anyone"

"Ok so what happened was Ashton wanted me to talk to him in private, so I let him drag me over to an empty table thinking it was nothing, and it was nothing at first, all he wanted to ask me was if it was true about me and Caleb being over, and I said it was but then he got quiet, as if he didn't want to tell me" I said "so I was about to walk back over to you guys but he stopped me and asked me if it was true that Caleb was only going out with me because I was paying him, that's why I slapped him, because he should know that I would never do that, I mean if he was my true friend he would know I'm not Mackenzie, I just can't believe he would ask me if I was a whore"

I couldn't  say anything I was only seeing red

"You don't hate me do you?"

"Of course not, but I am going to kill him"

"I wouldn't stop you"

"Are you hungry?"

"Um no, no Im not"

"Ok, I am so are you ok to stay here by yourself for a few minutes?"

"Yeah, where are you going?"

"I'm going to get something to eat, I'll be right back"

"Ok"

I went down stairs to get my keys and then the doorbell rang, I went to answer it and when I did I saw...

 

(Ashton's POV)

 

"What did you do?" Ally said from behind me 

I was in the boys locker room getting dressed because I just had football practice

"What are you doing in the boys locker room Allison?" I said 

"Trying to find you, that's what I'm doing in the boys locker room"

"Ok then now that you found me what do you want" I said annoyed

"I want to know what you did to my best friend" she said obviously getting angry

"I didn't do anything to her and she is my best friend too"

"From the handprint on your cheek I think otherwise"

She lightly touched it and I winced 

"Ouch, your a football player and that hurts you?"

"Yeah it does, she may be small but she has a lot of force when she's angry"

"So what did you to to make her angry?"

"I didn't do anything!"

"Ashton Jacob White, what did you do to Emma Thompson, and don't you dare tell me you didn't do anything, because if that was true she wouldn't be at home crying her eyes out, and you wouldn't have two guys pissed at you!!!!!"

"Fine, fine, fine, I told her what everyone has been saying about her, that's all"

"Are you insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed at me

"No but I am deaf now"

"The girl lost her parents, and almost lost her brother, so you feel the need to tell her that everyone thinks she is a whore, seriously!"

"Well when you put it like that, you make it sound like I was trying to make her slap me!"

"Well you obviously were"

"No I wasn't I just wanted to make sure it was't true"

"And now you lost a friend"

"Wait what? Your going to stop being my friend because of this?"

"No not me, you lost Emma"

"What do you mean?"

"You didn't trust her, if you were really her friend, you would've known that she would never do something like that, she is NOT Mackenzie!!!"

"I know she's not Mackenzie, if she was I wouldn't like her the way I do"

"Omg you like her like that!?!?!?!?!?"

"Ooops" I said and quickly looked down because I could feel the heat rushing to my cheeks

"I can't believe you didn't tell me!!!"

"I didn't tell you because you would've blabbed to Emma"

"Asshole" She said 

"You know it's true"

"Yeah, but that's because I don't keep things from her"

"Your keeping that secret from her and you know it"

"I'm not keeping things from her except that"

"See your not perfect either"

"Whatever"

"Wait you said she was at home by herself, I should go over there!"

"That's not a good idea"

"Why not?"

"Well first because you don't have any pants on, and second because Caleb and Isaiah are there"

"Oh" I said while my cheeks started turning red "Wait why didn't you tell me I didn't have pants on"

"Hahahaha, because I love your neon blue underwear" she said trying to  hide her smile

"Ha ha very funny" I said putting my pants on

"It's true" 

"Anyway, Do you want to do something with me since I can't go over to Emma's house"

"Sure, what do you want to do?"

"How about see a movie?"

"sure, can we see a scary one?"

"Yeah lets go"

"I call getting to call Issac" She said

"Fine"

 

At Emma's house

 

 

(Caleb's POV)

 

I rang the doorbell nervously

"Just a sec" I heard a male voice say.. I think it was Emma's brother?

He opened the door five minutes later

"Oh hey Caleb"

"Hi, um..."

"Isaiah"

"Right"

"What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to talk to Emma"

"She doesn't want to talk to anyone"

"Can I at least see her?"

"You know what, sure, I don't want her here alone anyway"

"May I ask where your going?"

"I'm hungry so I'm going to get something to eat"

"Does Emma want anything?" I asked

"I asked but she said no"

"Ok, well see you later then I'll just go upstairs to the..."

"Right, first door on the right"

"Thanks"

"No problem, just remeber to knock first"

"Right, of course"

I closed the door and went upstairs, then I knocked on the first door on the right"

"Come in" She said

I went into her room, but I didn't see her

"Hello"

"O hi Caleb"

"Hi Emma, where are you?"

"In the bathroom, doors open come on in"

"Um... ok"

I walked into her bathroom with my eyes closed

"Hehe, you can open your eyes, I'm taking a bubble bath"

"ok" I said cautiously opening my eyes

"I take bubble baths when I need to relax" She clarified

"O that makes sense"

"Did my brother let you in?"

"Yeah he didn't want you to be home alone"

"I understand" she said closing her eyes

"I love your laugh"

"thanks" she said smiling

"I love it when you smile as well, but you never smile when your around me"

"I'm sorry"

"No, no don't be, I never give you a reason to smile"

"You seem
