Emma's POV

"Come on Emma, the bus will be here in ten minutes!" I covered my head with my pillow and tried to ignore my mom. "EMILY LYNN HOPE!" she screamed louder. "GET DOWN HERE, NOW!!"

"UGH! I'M COMING!" I screamed back at her.

I sat up slowly and dragged myself out of my bed. As soon as my eyes adjusted to the bright room, I walked to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror.

Oh my god I look like a mess!

I look at the time and see it's already 7:32"EEK!" I scream and turn on the water to a lukewarm feeling while I took my pink brush and attempted to get the knots out of my hair. After it was all brushed out, I put my hair up in a bun and washed my face with acne cream. I took my hair down and brushed it once more, you know, just in case. I probably got dressed in about 15 seconds flat, and I wore a pink floral shirt with blue skinny jeans and my white converse shoes.

I practically run down the stairs and grab a strawberry pop tart, starting for the door but I stopped dead in my tracks by my mom's voice.

"Honey, are you forgetting something?" She held my schoolbooks in her right hand out to me, waiting for me to grab it.

I took the stuff and heard the bus pull up to our driveway. "Thanks mom!" I said as I kissed her cheek and ran out to the bus.

"Have a great day at school, and happy birthday Em!" she called after me.

Jacks POV

I was sitting in the back of the bus on my first day of school. Yes, I know school started a week ago but I'm the new kid here at Wilbur high school. My parents divorced back in San Diego, California because my dad did drugs and cheated on my mom a lot. So now I'm living here in Wilbur, Washington with my mom. I'm the good kid that any parent dreams about having. There's just one problem though; I have superpowers.

I know, I know, you don't believe me, but It's true! I've been a superhuman since I was born. Don't ask me how cause I don't know how this happened. Anyways, enough about me. I really want to know more about the beautiful blonde haired girl walking down the isle in the bus.

As I look closer, I notice her eyes are a teal blue and I immediately fall in love.

Oh my God, she's heading towards me. I'm going to embarrass myself!

I panicked, not knowing what to do. My body froze as she got closer.

Emma's POV

When I got on the bus, the familiar stench of sweat and failure hit me like a bowling ball. I coughed and started walking to the back of the bus looking for a spot to sit. Everywhere I looked, there we're people covering the seat so I wouldn't sit down with them. Then I saw an empty seat in the back by the cutest boy EVER! By his appearance, he looked about 5 foot 6. He has brown hair and wears a half blue half white tee shirt with brown pants. His shoes were also white and blue, matching his shirt. When I got to where he sat, I stopped and he looked up at me.

"Is this seat taken?" I blurted out in nervousness.

Really Emma? Really?! Is this seat taken? Could you be ANY MORE stupid!! I argued with myself mentally.

"N-no, not at all" He stuttered. "Go ahead" He moved over to give me room. I kind of wish he wouldn't have moved.

I sat down awkwardly and fold my hands in my lap. "Thanks."

"No problem!" He replies with more dominance this time.

We sat in silence for a few minutes until I speak up, breaking the awkwardness. "So, are you new this year?" I asked him, shifting my body towards him.

He looked at me confused but answers, "Yeah, I moved here from California about a week ago"

"Oh, cool." I fiddle with my fingers and look out the window at the multi colored sky.

"Yep."

We didn't talk for another 10 minutes until he looks down at me and I did the same. I looked at his dark brown eyes and smile. I just want to reach up and touch his fluffy brown hair. His eyes bore into mine and glance at my lips, only to look back up at me.

But that moment didn't last long, because at that moment, the bus skidded to a stop and everyone stood up, shoving through other people. I grabbed my books and so did he and we walked out of the bus together.

As we walk into the school, he stops me suddenly. "Hey, um..I don't know where to go" he explains, shyly, looking around slowly.

"Let me see your schedule" He hands me his schedule and I grab it from his hand. I smile as I skim over the classes. "You have all the classes I have." I said with a little laugh. "You can just follow me everywhere."

"Okay." He let out a light laugh. "Hey, I never learned your name. I'm Jack."

"Emma!" I answer with a smile and we head to English 1.

Jacks POV

After school

After school I found Emma walking on the bus to the spot we sat at in the morning. "Hey Emma!" I called out to her, running onto the bus. When I arrive to the back where she is, I sit down with a huff.

"Hi Jack" She announces happily, her eyes brightening up to a light sky blue.

"Hey, do you think I could stay at your house for a while? My moms going out of town for a few days and I don't have any family members in this state." I ask her, uncertain.

I mean, I just met her today and I practically want to move in already. I sound like a creepy stalker or a killer.

"Yeah, I don't think my mom would mind."

Wow, well never mind that then. "Great, thanks!" I exclaim.

She smiles brightly which causes my heart to fall. "No problem!"

The rest of the way home was silence once more, but it was a good, calming silence.

Emmas POV

"Hey mom, I'm home!" I called to my mother. She stalks in from the living room and lookes at me with a warm smile, only to notice Jack.

She raises an eyebrow curiously. "Hi honey, and who might this be?" she asks, turning to Jack immediately.

"I'm Jack Griffo" he replies to her question, holding his hand out for her to shake. "Nice to meet you, Emma's mom."

She returned the handshake gracefully and smiles. "You can call me Jen."

"Hey mom, Jack's mom is going out of town for a few days and he doesn't have any family here. So is it okay for him to stay here till she gets back?" I ask my mother.

"Sure honey, stay as long as you like. Oh, and I almost forgot." She ran to the kitchen and grabbed something and came in with a platter. "I made cookies!"

I grabbed one and smile. "Thanks mom!"

Jack grabbed two and took a bite out of one of them. "Thank you Mrs-I mean Jen." He corrects himself.

"Your welcome!" she replies, eating one herself.

"We're going to go up to my room, okay mom?"

"Alright, supper's in 15 minutes! And keep the door unlocked." she screams up at us.

I ran up the stairs and down the hall with Jack following behind me. As soon as I get to my room, I open the door and sling my books onto the floor. I fell onto my bed with a big sigh as Jack lays his stuff down gently and sat beside me and we started talking.

Then before I knew it, we were staring into each others eyes once again. He starts leaning in towards me. Suddenly, my door slams open with a BANG!

"Emily, WHERE IN THE HELL ARE YOU!" I heard my dad scream, obviously drunk for the tenth time this week.

"Dad, what did I d--" I'm cut off by him grabbing me by the arm and throwing me on the ground with full force.

"Emma!" I heard Jack yell over the thudding of my heart.

"Don't Jack, stay out--" My dad slapped me on my face and I begin to cry. What did I even do?

"GET THE HELL OFF OF HER!" Jack screamed at my dad.

As I was waiting for my dad to hit me again, I hear a scream erupt from my dad and I open my eyes. I suddenly see him against the wall on the other side of the room. Before I could say or do anything, Jack picks me up bridal style and rushes me downstairs.

There in the kitchen my mom was crying on the floor. She looks up at me and Jack and widened her eyes, jumping up, and running towards us

"Oh my god Emma, are you alright?" my mom asks me kissing my forehead.

"Come on Jen, we have to go! Like, now!" Jack screams at her.

She nods in approval and they run to the red car with Jack still holding me in his arms. He opens the back door and sits me in the far corner and buckles me up before getting in beside me.

My mom follows after him, getting in the drivers side. She stumbles, trying to find the keys."Crap! I left them in the house!" she began running into the kitchen in the house. Grabbing the keys we all see my dad stumbling down the stairs with a gun.

She ran to the car in fear and fumbled with the keys once more and finally starts the car and puts it in reverse.

My dad followed the car close behind, but she put it in drive and sped up down the road.

Jack looks at me and touches my face. I winced at the touch of his hand but a second later, I feel nothing. He pulls his hand back and sets it into his lap.

I touched my face and don't feel anything. I even look in the mirror but there were no marks or bruises to be seen. "How did you--"

"I don't know." He interrupts me instantly.

I don't have time to ask questions because we heard three gunshots.

One broke the trunk window, another hit the cars' seat, and the other hit...
