Once Steven left the three of us stood in silence. Ben's eyes where huge and he was trying not to laugh. Jeremiah's eyes where glued to me. I however was looking at the floor. I couldn't and I wouldn't look at him.

Finally somebody spoke. That somebody was Jeremiah. "Emma-" he tried to say stepping towards me.

I shake my head. "I-I better get going" I say and leave quickly. I hear someone following me and I pray it isn't Jeremiah.

When I get outside I check to see who was behind me. It was Ben. I let out a sigh of relief.

As soon as I saw his face I ran into his arms. "Are you ok?" Ben asked. "Ya I am I'm just so embarrassed" I admitted.

What Steven did was sweet. He was being my big brother. He cared. I knew he was trying to protect me. But he didn't know what happened in the kitchen a few nights ago no one did. Not even Ben or Bailey.

"Don't let him ruin your day" Ben said referring to Jeremiah. "I won't I promise" I give Ben a small smile. Witch he returns.

"I'm proud of you em" Ben says. "Your going to rock it tonight" He adds. "I'll try" I laugh. "Ugh girl have some confidence!" Ben says. I smile at him. "Tonight is going to be amazing" I smile. "Yes it is!" He high fives me. "Now go get hot" he says. I laugh. We hug again and I get in my moms car.

On the way there I blare music trying to clear my head. I'm not going to let this or what happened the other night ruin today. It was the big ball I've been getting ready for all summer so stupid crush was gonna ruin today. Not even if that crush was Jeremiah Fisher.

Once I get there I feel better. The music must of helped. I go into the room where everyone is and sit next to Shayla.

I tell her what happened with Steven and Jeremiah. "Omg are you alright?" She asks me. I nod. "I'm not letting it ruin tonight" I say. "Good cuz it is not worth it" Shayla says.

We start getting ready. We gossip and giggle. While we do our makeup. Shayla helps me do my hair.

Belly helped me get zipped into my dress. I did the same for her. I look at my twin sister. "You look beautiful em" she smiles at me. "So do you bells I love your dress it's so you" I say. She smiles and nods.

"I can't believe we are finally doing this" she says. I agree. "I know right! It feels like yesterday Susannah gave us the invites" I say. "I'm glad we did this" Belly says. "So am I" I reply.

"Thank you for doing this with me" she says. "Of course it actually turned out to be amazing just like Susannah said it would be" I say. "It did" belly laughs.

The two of us share a hug. This summer I felt like Belly and I where slipping away from each other. Right now I felt like we where closer then ever. We where going to get through this bump and we where going to always have each other.

"Belly Emma it is time!" One of the girls yells. We pull apart. But we hold hands walking to our spots in line witch where together.

Belly went first. "Go get 'em tiger" I whisper. We squeeze hands then she walks out.

Jeremiah and I made eye contact. I broke it quickly. I could not let me bother me tonight.

Then my name was called. Ben and I stepped out and linked arms. "You look like a bad bitch" Ben whispered. I giggled softly. I smiled out at my family.

We walked down and I handed my flowers to my mother and curtsied. "How was that?" I asked Ben. "If I didn't know any better I'd think you where royalty" he joked.

The night was going amazing. I danced with Ben. I danced with my dad. I even danced a dance with both Conrad and Steven.

I could see the pride in Susannah's eyes witch made this night even more amazing.

The boys did there escort dance and it was the funniest thing. They all got so into it. I laughed the whole time. "You killed that" I told Ben and he laughed. "Oh I know" he said back. And we both bursted our laughing.

It was time for the waltz. Jeremiah was no where to be seen. "I have to find him" I whispered to Ben. He nodded at me. Ben went to check around inside and I went outside.

I found him sitting on the curb. "Jeremiah!" I yelled. He looked up at me. He was crying.

I hated to see him cry. He rarely did cry. He was always smiles and laughs but on the rare occasion that he did cry it broke my heart. I wanted to take all his pain away.

Looking in his eyes I saw the little boy who I had fell in love with so many years ago.

"What's wrong?" I ask. He shows me Susannah's phone. The screen had a email from her doctor talking about treatments. Susannah's cancer was back!

I dropped down onto the curb next to Jeremiah tears in my eyes. I wrapped my arms around him pulling him into me. We sat on the curb crying into each other's arms.
