Have you ever fallen in complete and utter love with someone and think you could actually have a chance at a fairy tale romance? It was what I had always wanted ever since a child. My mother was a complete addict with fairy tale happy endings - young love, and I was soon captivated. Some of my favorite movies are Beauty and the Beast, Pretty in Pink, and Breakfast Club. The sense of ever lasting love was beautiful.

As I got older, I came to realize that the movies only show so much about what love actually looks like. Love is the embodiment of pain, heartache, passion, joy and everlasting dedication with a promise of forever.

With love comes pain, but it is the feeling you get when it consumes every fiber of your being that you can either fight for the pain for the chance at love or let it slip away.

This is my story. The story of the boy who stole from me my heart and wouldn't give it back.

Chapter 1 EMMAS POV
You know how people say "love conquers all"? This happens to be a very loaded statement. Love, however beautiful it might sound, does not come without pain. It sure as hell does not come without sacrifice. Love can be portrayed as a vital resource in people's lives, much like in romance movies and novels. From Shakespeare to Jane Austen, love is depicted as something to strive and fight for. It can consume you, destroy you, and sadly, break you. Love has this dark side which is so very enticing yet so very scary. This is where my story of love begins. My love came with heartache, heartbreak, and an earth shattering pain that created a void where my heart should be, but, the weirdest thing is, I would never regret experiencing it. Even though it came with all that, it was also the most spine tingling, head over heels, love the person with every fiber of your being kind of love. It drowned me and then, it saved me. My name is Emma, and I have lived in the same town of Province since birth. I live in a peaceful little town, in a beautiful cozy home with my parents and older brother Kevin. It has always been just the four of us doing "normal family stuff" ever since I can remember. My mother is one of those people who loves taking pictures of the smallest moments in life, and always tells Kevin and I that she is waiting for us to have our own children to show just how much love there is in this family. I just think she is holding on to ammunition in her arsenal of most embarrassing photos when company comes over. Even so, I adore this about my mother. She loves making it known to Kevin and I that we matter and we are loved no matter what. Dad, on the other hand, says she just has OCD and laughs it off even though I know he loves it just as much. He might roll his eyes and make fun of her but the love that have for each other is undeniable. He looks at her every day like she has hung the moon. She looks at him like he is the only man alive. It might sounds cheesy but, this is the kind of love I want. We might live slightly lavishly but we live comfortably. My parents struggled when they were younger so I guess in their eyes they are trying to give us anything and everything that they never had growing up. Don't get me wrong, we are definitely not spoiled rotten, well, not totally. We don't receive the latest tech or are enrolled in the ritzy Catholic schools that surround the area. We go to public school and are encouraged to do what we aspire to do and are told in order to gain what we wanted we had to put in the effort to achieve our dreams. This is exactly what Kevin and I both do. I am a complete nerd. Yes, I am the "need to study all the time, always a book in my hand, and do all my assignments weeks before they are do" kind of girl. I simply enjoy school. Have I been teased about it? Relentlessly, of course. I was always ridiculed for being the teachers pet, class nerd, goody two shoes, and too shy to talk to others so I most likely am a b!tch. Ugh. Every name that could be thrown at me for just trying to do good in school, keep away from the drama that I so did not need to associate myself with, all so I could get into the college I want was thrown in my face year after year. I never let it get to me though. I absorbed all the hostility and never once let the words break me. I want to become someone and travel the world. Sur me for not giving a damn about being popular. Kevin, my lovely one year older brother, was always the class jock. He always was into sports but found his true love of football in JHS. Classic school cliche right? The nerdy sister and the football dream boat. I am the girl who gets ridiculed and bullied, while my brother is the guy every girl in the school wants to be with and every guy wants to become. It is the daily high school struggle for me, and smooth sailing for Kevin. Sounds awesome, I know. (Cue the sarcasm.) I always keep to myself, like I said, and have only one true best friend, Melanie, who is the girl you do not want to mess with. She has got serious anger issues, and I am still shocked to this day that we are besties. We have been yin and yang since JHS. I hate confrontation but when I am thrown to the wolves, "the elite sociopaths, the high class society, think they rule the world" kids that include Elijah, Noah, Allison, and Tammy, Melanie comes to my defense every single time. She takes no sh!t from anybody and I wish sometimes that I could have just one ounce of her confidence. The Quads of Torment, not such of an original nickname, but they are the four most egotistical jerks of the school. Till this day they do not get the idea that my Melanie has absolutely no filter and is not scared to beat their asses in. Those four live to make me feel like I am nothing but a waste of space, along with other kids at our school unfortunately, but I remain their main target. Jokes on them when I get my diploma and peel out of this place so fast while they probably wind up in summer school or remain in the school forever because they just don't do any work and skip class to serve their social hierarchy status. Honestly, who am I kidding? None of that will happen because their parents could probably buy their way out of high school anyway. Lucky them. I am currently a junior at our high school, while Kevin is onto his last year as a senior. It is finally his graduation year and my parents couldn't be any more thrilled. He's the school QB on our football team The Lions. He is just so talented and dedicated to the sport that I just know he will succeed. Scouts have already been asking about him. He has got a whole roster of schools to choose from. Our team had been playing flawlessly and that is why my brother can't wait to start his football career in college and possibly beyond. Girls try so hard to grab his attention, even freshmen! I roll my eyes, but hey, to each their own. Melanie has an insane crush on him, and of course he is so oblivious to it. I gave her my blessing because I would love for them to be together, but I do tell her to be careful. Jocks break hearts. It is the known social concept. I love my brother to death and all, but if he ever dared to hurt her, I'd hurt him. Thats the only time I step up my confidence level. I am self-less in that way. It's another ordinary Monday morning and I am getting ready for school when my phone dings with a text from Mel. MEL: OMG! I completely forgot to study for the math test today! Watching your brothers game Friday night and seeing him win and everything made my whole brain wipe and now I am going to FAIL! SH!T! Oh Melanie, what am I going to do with you? I roll my eyes and text her back. ME: Do not stress it. I'll help you to bring back some of those brain cells of yours since you lost them all to my dear brother when you come pick me up :) I believe I have warned you to not squarely focus on him, haven't I young lady? Lol. I am getting ready now. See you soon! MEL: Oh shut up. You know I never listen to your warnings when it comes to him. Anyway, thank you! :) Be there soon. I finally get ready and for once, I actually think I look pretty good for a Monday. I am confident about my math test and about the day. All in all, I think I will have a pretty good day. I cross my fingers. Here's hoping. I head downstairs and grab an apple and a bottle of water. I see Kevin stuffing his face with cereal and he raises an eyebrow at me. "What? I am hungry." He says while continuously stuffing his face. I begin to laugh. "It's not that. It's the fact that you obviously do not know how to use a spoon. Isn't food supposed to go in your mouth, and not on your shirt?" He looks down and curses to himself. I continue to laugh and head for the door knowing Mel is waiting for me outside. As I am about to shut the door behind me, Kevin takes it upon himself to greet Melanie sans shirt. "Morning Melanie." He winks and smiles at her while she stands there just staring and I push Kevin inside and close the door. When I reach Mel I have to snap her out of her trance. "Oh god. Here goes more neurons being lost to my brother." She rolls her eyes and we begin walking to school. We go over some key formulas for our test and I seem to manage to get her brain running again. She seems to relax and not be as nervous anymore. "Quit thinking about my brother with his shirt off." I nudge at her since she is so silent. "Sorry. Can't. He is just so damn sexy." "Ew." We both start hysterically laughing but our joy is suddenly taken away when The Quads of Torment come rolling down the block in their fancy mate red Ferrari. Mel always snickers when she sees Elijah's car. "He has to be overcompensating for something, right?" She whispers to me. "Jeez Mel. First my shirtless brother and now you are thinking about Elijah's junk? Down girl!" I can't help but giggle while she just shrugs me off. When the foursome come to stop at the red light, Tammy takes the opportunity to roll down the window and unleash her inner b!tch, yelling out to me. "Aww look guys, it's thing one and thing two! Hey teachers pet! Think you can manage to not be so pathetic today? I mean really, what are you actually trying to prove? You will forever remain in this crap town. Why even bother trying to get out?" She eyes me incredulously. The girl dedicated to my demise is Queen Bee herself, Tammy Lockhart. This girl thinks just because she's practically an heiress to her fathers fortune, she doesn't need to do anything but crap all over everybody and judge them for not being rich. The only ones she truly adores is Elijah, and my brother who serves as her backup when Elijah doesn't want anything to do with her. I cringe when she tries her hardest to catch my brothers attention. It is downright disgusting. Elijah Stevenson is just another grade A jerk but, unfortunately, Elijah seems to be the complete package. I can't help but stare at him from time to time. I am a complete idiot but I can't stop myself even if I tried. He is tall, lean, muscular and has brown eyes that can make just about any girl melt. Even though all those are great qualities on the exterior, his interior is that of a jackass, and he has also tormented me since we were in JHS. He is arrogant, selfish, and altogether rude as can be. Why is it always the bad boys that catch the good girls eyes? Keep it together Emma. He is no good for you. Noah and Allison are bad themselves too, but they just seem to go with the flow in whatever their friends do, even though I know they really don't approve. You can say that they are the minions of the group. Tammy and Elijah as King and Queen, Noah and Allison are their trusty little servants. Right now, they seem to look at me with sympathy but that doesn't mean much since they will never ever stand up to their leaders. Melanie turns and her anger rises to hulk level and begins to take her backpack off to show that she has had just about enough, but before she could do anything Elijah speeds away. Melanie calms herself down, grabs her bag and puts her backpack back on her back. "For sh!ts sake, can they be any more stuck up? God I hate that b!tch and her little minions too! They don't have anything better to do but whine and carry on that they have school and torment others. I am so done with their bullsh!t. The next time they say anything is when they will lose their ability to speak completely! I just don't care anymore." She is fuming. Her head might soon burst off of her body. She looks downright scary right now. "I've gone through their years of torment and the more they try to hurt me the more motivated I am to finally leave this place. I will be fine as long as I have you by my side. Thank you for always being there for me." Melanie brings me in for a hug. "Always." As we head to school Kev pulls up and tells us to hop in. "Thanks Kev. Mel here was about to go all Hulk on the four horseman of the apocalypse because they ruined her daydream about a certain shirtless guy." Kev turns his head looking at first shocked by my words then completely irritated. Mel is in the back glaring at me with narrowed eyes. "What the f!ck did they do now?" "Nothing but the usual." I sigh. "I'm driving your asses to school from now on. Let them try and say something to me." He squeezes the steering wheel tighter and his knuckles become whiter. "Calm down Kev. It isn't anything new. I can handle myself. I am not a baby." Mel opens her mouth to interject but I cut her off. "I don't care. It's the fact that they don't stop. This is my last year and I am going to be here for you whether you like it or not Emma. You too Melanie." He looks through the rearview mirror to look at her and she offers a small smile. His tone is serious and we just bite our tongues. We finally pull up to the school and exit the car. "Melanie, before I forget, who was the guy in your daydream?" Kevin smiles widely and Melanie smirks beside me. "Channing Tatum, who else?" Melanie says casually. Kevins face falls but Melanie winks at him. We all see the four jerks by the entrance and Kevin stares at them with fury in his eyes. Tammys face falters and the others just stare at him back. Mel and I walk with Kev inside and we all head for our lockers. Little did I know that this was the Monday where I was to become Alice from Alice in Wonderland and I would soon fall down a never ending rabbit hole.
