“Um sure.â€? Cameron told me, surprised. We walked off together down the sidewalk with Emmett glaring after us.

“Thanks.â€? I whispered once we were a little ways from school.

“No problem. Are you okay?â€?

“Yeah, I’m fine.â€? I lied badly.

“Your face … is swollen.â€? He touched my cheek softly and I blushed. Cameron stared into my eyes for a spilt second and then we both looked away.

Suddenly, a Hummer pulled up beside us, the driver side window rolling down. “Get in.â€? Emmett barked at me.

“No thanks.â€? I told him sweetly.

“Baby, I’m sorry, okay? I didn’t mean to do that. You know I love you.â€? I always melted when he said that but then I remembered I was with Cameron. Still, I stopped walking and Cameron stopped slowly next to me. “Remember what I know, Anna.â€? Emmett hissed viciously and I flinched. He did know … stuff about me. Dammit.

Turning to Cameron and looking at our feet, I whispered, “I uh have to go. I’ll see you at school.â€? When I walked to the Hummer, Cameron looked just as heart-broken as I was.
