Chapter 67 - Chapter 66

You look at Emma in shock. A confused shock. 

"Emma..." You say again.

"Yuki." She softly bubbles, smiling at you.

"I uh..."

"You look surprised to see me." She chuckles.

"Yeah... I am." You slowly reply. "Why are you- talking to me?" You question. She looks at you with wide eyes.

"OHHHH! Right! I'm not supposed to be talking to you..." She laughs.

"Right... so then why-" You stop and look at her confused. Why is she laughing? You thought to yourself.

"We are friends... right?" She asks. You furrow your eyebrows and slowly nod. "Then we can talk."

"I-I don't understand... you're confusing me." You stutter.

"My brother and Draken told me I shouldn't talk to you. But it made me want to talk to you even more..." She chuckles. You stare at her with a blank expression on your face. She looks at you and smiles. "I know we didn't hang out a lot but you're my first girlfriend..." 

"First girlfriend?"

"Yep~ I've always wanted one... and you made me feel like I finally had one." She bubbles. She jumps off the swing and walks in front of your swing, stopping it. You stare up at her feeling very confused. "And as my girlfriend- you have to be with me on my birthday~"

"HUH?"

"Wait... you didn't forget about my birthday... did you?" She pouts.

"Emma... are you feeling alright?" You question.

"Yeah of course! Why wouldn't I?" She raises an eyebrow and then smiles. "Do you like karaoke!?" She bubbles as she grabs your hand and yanks you off the swing.

"I guess..." You say in a confused tone.

"GREAT! I LOVE KARAOKE!" 

Hours pass and you and Emma are in a Karaoke room. You sit in the corner of the room watching Emma dance and sing. You furrow your eyebrows and relax your eyes as you watch the guys that she invited getting loud and laughing.

"What the fuck is happening..." You quietly say to yourself.

"COME ON YUKI! DANCE WITH ME!" Emma shouts in a slurred way.

"Emma how much did you drink?" You ask.

"Not ENOUGH!" She shouts.

Is she acting out or something? What the fuck is going on? You say in your head.

She starts dancing, moving her butt up and down. A boy starts dancing behind her and she shakes her butt on his pelvic area. You squint your eyes and sigh loudly.

"Nope... no... this feels wrong." You say standing up and grabbing Emma by the hand, pulling her out the room.

"Waaaiiiittt... where are we going?" Emma pouts as you drag her down the hall.

"I don't know what's going on with you but I'm taking you home." You sigh. Emma furrows her eyebrows and yanks her hand away from you.

"NO! I'm not going home." She grumbles. You stare at her in confusion.

"You're drunk... those dudes were going to take advantage of that... besides... you look a mess... I think it's time for you to go home-" You sigh, grabbing her wrist.

"NO! I AM NOT GOING HOME!" She screams. You let go of her hand, flinching back a bit. "Why does it matter if I slept with a couple of boys anywayyyy... Why does it maaatter..." She huffs.

"I thought you liked Draken..." You softly say. 

"Yeah?" She stumbles towards you and leans in towards your face, smiling at you. "Well he doesn't like me..." She sloppily says. 

"He does..." You correct. She stares at you with her eyebrows furrowed.

"Did he tell you that?" She asks. You frown a bit and squint your eyebrows a bit. "E-XACT-TLLY!" She laughs and stumbles back towards the karaoke room.

"EMMA! Mikey wouldn't like that you're doing this!" You shout. She stops walking and glares back at you.

"I DON'T CARE! Mikey this! Mikey that! Mikey! Mikey! MIKEY! IT'S ALWAYS MIKEY!" She screams. "I CAN'T DO ANYTHING! I CAN'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS! EVERYONE IS SO SCARED OF ME BECAUSE OF MIKEY!" She shouts. Your eyes widen when you see tears fill her eyes. "I don't give a fuck!" She laughs. "Mikey can watch~ His little sister does not need him!" She sloppily says turning back around.

"Emma..." You softly say. She stops walking and looks back at you and laughs.

"Why do you care about Mikey so much?" She asks walking back towards you. "You like him don't you?" She laughs. "What? You only became friends with me because you want him... is that it?" 

"No?"

"L I A R!" She slowly says smiling at you. "Then why do you want to be friends with me? I'm just his little sister... that's all I am." She chuckles. "That's all I am..." She sniffles. Your eyes widen as she falls into your arms and starts crying. "Why can't I just be Emma and not Mikey's sister." She cries into your arm. "When will someone love me for me!" She bawls. You stand still feeling confused. You furrow your eyebrows and wrap your arms around her. "Do you love me Yuki?" She sniffles.

"We are girlfriends aren't we?" You slowly say. She laughs and then starts crying.

"I loooove you so much Yuki!" She bawls. 

You slowly walk with Emma, heading in the direction of her house. She leans her head on your shoulder. You sigh noticing how long it's taking to get her home. 

"I feel sick..." Emma says letting go of you and stumbling to a wall. 

"What do you feel?" You question.

"Like I'm going to throw up." She slowly says as she slides down to the ground and leaning her head back against the wall.

"Well... you did drink a lot..."

"ugh... don't tell Mikey what happened..." She sniffles. "everything is spinning..." She slides to the side and lays flat on the ground. "ah... nice cold ground..." You furrow your eyebrows as you watch her press her face against the ground.

"YUKI! EMMA!" A voice says from the distance. You look in the direction to see Hina. Strangely you aren't surprised to see her.

"Hina..."

"nooo... too loud..." Emma quietly whines. Hina skips over to the two of you and stops beside you, staring at Emma who's hugging the ground.

"What's going on with her?" Hina asks pointing at Emma.

"She's drunk." You sigh.

"SHHHH!" Emma shushes you with her eyes closed. "You must not tell my secrets..."

"Oh..." Hina says slowly. "Is that why she's laying on the ground?" You slowly nod still staring at Emma. "I didn't think Emma would be the wild type..." She chuckles.

"I'm trying to get her home..." You sigh.

"Do you need help?" Hina asks looking at you. You slowly look at her and nod. She smiles and walks up to Emma. "Come on Emma... let's get you home." She says trying to pull Emma up. 

"Ugh... no- I don't-" Emma pauses and her eyes widen. You look at her confused and then you turn your head to look in the direction she was looking in. No one was there. You furrow your eyebrows in confusion.

BLUGGHHH

The sound of gagging and a chunky liquid hitting the ground makes you flinch and cringe.

"AHHH! IT GOT IN MY HAIR!" Hina cries out. Hina lets go of Emma and Emma stumbles into your arms.

"My tummy hurts." Emma cries as she hugs you. Your eyes widen when you hear her gag again and a warm sensation goes down the center of your shirt. Emma slowly looks up at you with teary eyes. "I'm sorry..." She sniffles.

"It's... ok..." You slowly say. She smiles and hugs you, squishing the vomit between the both of you. 

"You're such a great friend!" She bawls. You furrow your eyebrows and frown, staring at Hina who's standing weirdly as throw up drips down her hair and onto her skirt and shirt.

You and Hina slowly lead Emma down the sidewalk, stopping in front of the gate of her house.

"We're here... Hina... are you able to take her in?" You ask slowly letting go of Emma.

"Sure." Hina softly says. Emma grabs your wrist and glares at you. 

"WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING!" She sloppily screams.

"H-Home..." You stutter.

"W-Why... I thought we were friends!" She cries. You look at her confused and stressed. "You can't leave meeeee!" She cries, falling into your arms, letting go of Hina. You gag to the smell of throw up and quickly look away. "WHY ARE YOU GAGGING! AM I THAT DISGUSTING?!" She loudly cries. 

"No... it smells like vomit... it smells so bad... I think I'm going to throw up..." You gag. 

"SAMMMME!" She cries out and starts to gag.

"Huh?" Hina looks at Emma confused.

"NOOOOO DON'T THROW UP ON ME AGAIN!" You shout.

BLLUUUUUGHHH

You sit in the bathroom in the corner of the room with your knees close to your chest as you hug onto your legs. You're naked and smell of throw up. Hina and Emma are on the other side of the bathroom naked. Hina is slowly washing Emma's hair and massaging her shoulders.

"See... doesn't that feel better?" Hina asks as she gently rinses Emma's hair.

"Mhm..." Emma hums. 

You sit quietly on the ground feeling very queasy and dirty. Hina slowly looks at you and smiles.

"Want me to wash your hair too?" She softly bubbles.

"No... its okay." You slowly say. "I can do it." You say moving your hand to grab the shampoo and then scrubbing your head. Hina moves towards you a bit and moves your hair out of your face. Her eyes widen when she notices your eyes are pink. 

"I knew it..." She huffs.

"Knew what?" You softly ask.

"I knew there was something wrong."

You furrow your eyebrows and move your head away, causing your hair to fall back to the side, hiding your face. Emma slowly looks at you and frowns.

"I'm sorry Yuki..." Emma softly says. Your eyes widen and you slowly look back at Emma. She slowly pulls her legs closer towards her chest. "I did something reckless and dragged you along with me because I wanted to prove to myself I can make my own decisions." She sniffles.

"What are you talking about?" You softly ask.

"My brother told me I couldn't be friends with you... He didn't give me a reason... just told me to not talk to you... I hate when he does that. Why does he get to choose who I can and can't talk to!" 

You furrow your eyebrows and sigh. You sit up and move your head out of the way, letting your hair rest on your chest. 

"Your brother has a good reason for us to not being friends..." You sigh.

"Because you betrayed Toman... right?" She quickly says. You look at her with wide eyes. Your chest suddenly hurts. 

"right..." You quietly say looking down.

"Did you really betray my brother?" She softly asks. You furrow your eyebrows and slowly look back at her.

"I don't know what I did... I can't give you an answer..." You quietly say.

"Well if you did or didn't... it doesn't matter to me..." She huffs.

"But that's your brother..." You say in a shocked tone.

"Yeah- well I want to make the decision to drop you as a friend or not... My brother doesn't have the right to tell me what I should or shouldn't do..." She sighs. "I don't think you are a bad person... and I don't think you betrayed my brother... I just think he's emotional..."

"Emotional?" You look at her confused.

"Yeah..." She says looking down. "A lot has happened in the last few years... I started to realize he has been changing..." She sighs. "When I asked him why I couldn't talk to you he seemed sad about it... almost like you rejected him or something... like he was heartbroken..."

"What if I did break his heart?"

"Then I'm sure he deserved it..." She huffs. "He's a jerk anyways." She sniffles. You furrow your eyebrows. She slowly looks at you with teary eyes. "You were my first real girlfriend... I don't want to lose you..." She softly says. "This might sound selfish... but I'm kinda relieved you both aren't talking anymore... That means I don't have to share, and I can hang out with you more." She sniffles, smiling at you. You softly smile back at her. 

"Same..." Hina softly says looking at you. "I always wanted to hang out with you when we were younger... but your friend... that girl you always hung out with-"

"Hana?" You interrupt. Hina slowly nods.

"Yeah her... She never let us hang out... So I kinda got angry." She softly bubbles, clenching her fist and making an irritated smile. She relaxes her face and smiles at you. "I want to hang out with you." You look at her with a soft expression on your face.

"Okay... We can." You softly say. "Let's hang out together." You smile at both Hina and Emma. They smile back at you. 

"Yeah~" Emma bubbles. 

"Oh... and Emma- when's your birthday?" You softly ask.

"It's tomorrow~" She smiles.

"Oh okay..." You say nodding a bit. Your eyes widen when you realized. "Wait... wouldn't that mean Mikey and Draken are going to be around you tomorrow...?" You say in a shaky voice.

"Y... yeah..." Emma says in a nervous tone.

"Oh... no... that doesn't sound good." Hina says with her hand on her chin, making a face. You furrow your eyebrows and stare at Hina.

"I wanted you to be with me on my birthday though..." Emma pouts.

"Yeah..." You softly say looking down. Hina looks at Emma and then at you. She furrows her eyebrows and crosses her arms.

"HEY! I HAVE A GREAT IDEA!" Hina shouts.

"What's the idea?" You ask, waiting for a response. Emma stares at Hina with wide and curious eyes.

"WE CAN GIVE YUKI A MAKE OVER! THEY WILL NEVER NOTICE!" Hina shouts and smiles at you with a devilish grin. You look at her feeling a bit worried.

"GREAT IDEA HINA!" Emma shouts.

"Huh? How will any of that work?" You question.

"Theeey are idiots... a wig, make-up, eye contacts, and a new set of clothes will make you look like a completely different person!" Emma bubbles.

"Yep yep!" Hina nods constantly with a smile on her face.

"... something about this gives me a bad feeling."

"Don't worry! WE WON'T GET CAUGHT!" Emma bubbles loudly as she crawls towards you and falls into your arms, hugging you tightly.

"YES! YUKI UNDERCOVER!" Hina shouts hugging you tightly. They both bounce up and down as they hug you. Emma slowly pulls away from you and furrows her eyebrows a bit and scrunching her nose.

"You smell like vomit..." Emma quietly says looking at you.

"Well... obviously... you threw up on me..." You sigh.

"OHHH YEAH!" She loudly bubbles. You squint your eyes at her and slowly back away. You grab the shampoo bottle and pour shampoo in your hand, slathering it in your hair and scrubbing your hair aggressively.
