What happens when you really, really like someone, except you're not supposed to be with them? I'm Emma, an 18 year old originally from Ohio. My mom and dad got divorced when I was young, and not too long after, my mom was offered a really great job opportunity in Omaha, Nebraska, she took it and we moved. We lived there for a few years before she started talking to another guy, one thing led to another and now I had a step-dad, and a step brother, Jack Johnson. Jack is 2 years older than me, and he instantly took me in like his own sister, he was loving and caring from the minute we met, and he's very protective over me. I love that, except that came with one rule, his friends are off limits, no dating, no hooking up, nothing of that sorts, we could all be friends and that was it. I promised I would stick to that rule and I was fine with that at first, until I met my brother's friends, Jack Gilinsky, Sam Wilkinson and Nate Maloley. Jack Gilinsky instantly caught my eye, the only problem was, that was my brother's best friend, and I mean BEST friend, they've been best friends since kindergarten, and Gilinsky was all sorts of good looking, but there was no getting around my brothers rule, I couldn't ever be with one of his friends, I loved my brother, and I didn't want to disappoint him by going against his rule. Besides G wouldn't like me back, we're all great friends and that's that, there would never be anything more.

I was always the "good girl" in school, the type of girl that cared about how I did in school, I studied hard and made good grades. That being said I didn't go to parties, unlike Jack, who, although did somehow still manage to make good grades in school, went to parties, a lot. I recently graduated high school, and since I never went to parties in high school, my brother decided to throw me a graduation party, saying he was gonna show me the fun I missed out on. I opposed the idea, I thought a nice family dinner to celebrate my graduation was just fine, but no, Jack said I needed a "proper celebration", and told me to go find the best dress I had, call my girlfriends and be ready in an hour. I went up to my room and stared at the clothes in my closet. I wasn't much of a dress wearer, I didn't own a lot of dresses, and I definitely didn't have time to go shopping for a new one, so let's see what I have. I sifted through my entire closet until I finally found a more fancy dress in the very back of my closet.
"This will just have to work" I thought to myself. I laid the dress on my bed and went to text my girlfriends, Megan, Jaqueline, and Daquota, about the party.
(Me) Hey girls. J decided he's throwing me a graduation party. Get your best dresses and be ready in an hour, we'll be by to pick you guys up.
(Megan) OMG that's so exciting! I can't wait!
(Jaqueline) This is going to be so much fun
(Daquota) See you guys then!
Jack then yelled at me, saying we were leaving at 5. I looked at the clock, it read 4:15, I still had 45 minutes and I knew it wouldn't take me that long to get ready, but I decided to go ahead and start anyway. I decided on something simple for my makeup, nothing to intense for tonight, and when I finished, it was 4:40, I still had 20 minutes before we left.
