24 REIGN OF EMILIA- "Can not be trusted."

Previously...

"Get your f*cking dirty hands off me."

Emilia stays quiet and only stands up. Ace, who thought she was mad and was about to leave, immediately calls after her.

"Babe, wait"

Emilia doesn't respond, but simply makes her way out from the table, and yanks Brittney by the hair, pulling put out some of her fake extensions.

Brittney's body comes crashing to the floor, but Emilia has does not stop there. She proceeded to drag Brittney's squirming body across the diner floor, then straight out the exit. A few seconds later, Emilia returns, calmly take her previous seat next to Ace, and continues eating he fries, while everyone at the table, except for Ace, stares at her in in utter shock.

After a few moments, it was Abigail who spoke up:

"Did Ace just call you babe?"

Oct 27 Continued...

"Wait a minute, did Ace just call you...babe?"

Everyone fell silent.

"Wait. He did, didn't he?" Hailey smirks.

"Hold on a sec. Are you guys-" McKenna says

"Holy shit, you are, aren't you?" Hannah chuckles. "Come on, admit it."

Emilia and Ace looked at each other for a brief moment, before turning to the others and replying.

"Yes, we are."

A series of squeals and whistles are heard throughout the diner.

"Yayyy, finally!!"

"I knew it!"

"Wait, what? You're kidding, right Ace? You can't possibly date this trash." Brittney was back again, unfortunately, and just like last time, she was definitely not happy.

Emilia glanced at Abigail and gave her a look that questioned: Did this b*tch really just call me trash?

Abigail shrugs in response.

Again, instead of responding to the pest, Emilia chose a more irritating approach. She gripped Ace by the throat, and smashed her lips on his. Soon enough, the two were already having a heated make out session as if they weren't sitting in front of all their friends.

Ace cupped Emilia's cheek and lightly bit Em's bottom lip, tugging at it, demanding entrance, which Emilia immediately gave to him.

"Ma'am, I'm going to have to ask you to leave, before I call the cops." The two broke apart when they heard Jeff's voice.

"Wha- how dare you, do you even know who I am? who my parents are? I can have this place shut down with a snap of my fingers." Brittney complains.

"Jeff, I can assure you, that will not happen." Emilia assures.

"I'm not worried." Jeff then turned to the nuisance. "Out." was all he said with a serious face. Brittney left immediately, but not without leaving a stream of curses on her way.

"Well that was just pleasant." Emilia muttered sarcastically.

"Well. About the two of you dating..."

•••

"That's the girl, boss"

"Wow, she looks even hotter than I imagined. Who's that idiot next to her?" Syrus comments.

"I don't know, her boyfriend maybe? We can't see his face so we can't know who he is."

"Doesn't matter who he is, just some nerd I'd bet. If he tries to get in the way we'll just take him out."

"When do you plan on taking her boss?"

"You know I like to do things with extravagance. What better time to kidnap someone, than on Halloween?" Syrus smirks, an evil glint in his eyes.

~Four days later~

"You look, absolutely gorgeous." Ace complimented his girlfriend, before approaching her and kissing her on the forehead then the nose, then soon planted a solid one on her soft lips. After a few moments of amazing mouth to mouth, the couple finally decided to pull away.

Emilia then crossed her eyebrows in seriousness and asked.

"But I do look scary, right?"

Ace does a once over at his gorgeous girl, who was dressed as Poison Ivy for Halloween. She looks so adorable, yet sexy at the same time, how could anything be scary about that?

The fake vines rapped around her long legs, all the way her ankles. The leaves spread out and properly covered all her private areas. Her skin was dyed with liquid green vegetable skin dye, made her costume look more realistic. To top it off, she wore a cute vine crown on top of her temporarily red hair, and the cutest red and green five inch heels. Wow.

"Yes" Ace nodded, "Very scary." Ace doesn't try to hide his cute sarcasm.

Emilia smiled and punched his shoulder playfully.

"But I must say, in a way, I'm kind of jealous that all these other guys will be ogling you. But the fact that they can only look but can't touch is really exciting." Ace leans in a kisses Emilia deeply.

"Are you kidding? Your literally dressed like Tarzan. If anyone was to be jealous, it's me." Em says.

Ace chuckles and raps his right hand around her waist and pulled her closer, into an other deep kiss. He then trails wet kisses from her her cheek, all the way down to her neck. Emilia let's out a deep moan, but they were soon interrupted.

"Oh, god! sorry, didn't know Ace was in here, sorry." Hailey continuously apologized.

"It's fine, Hails, you weren't interrupting." Emilia smiles.

"You definitely were" Ace coughs out, causing Emilia to nudge his shoulder.

Soon the rest of the crew piled into the sitting room. Hailey was dressed as Harley Quinn, Abigail as The Black Canary, Hannah was Wednesday Adams and finally, what the whole crew was waiting for. McKenna was dressed in a badass killer mermaid costume. It was a mixture of both gorgeous and scary.

"Wow Kenny, you look gorgeous." Emilia was the first to compliment.

"Talk about gorgeous, have you looked in the mirror?" McKenna returned the compliment.

"Thanks"

The guys now, were all looking like a snack.

Ace was Tarzan, Noah was of course, The Joker, Alec and Michael were both Egyptian princes which surprised Emilia. James went for Zeus and Levie was a sexy viking. Good job Levie, I'm utterly impressed.

"So you guys seem more than ready. Shall we leave?"

"We shall." Ace smiles taking her hand in his.

The friends all leaves Em and Abi's condo.

At James' two hours later...

The party was on full swing. People were drunk, people were making out and people were passed out all over the place.

"Ugh, I forgot how gross these things can be." Emilia cringes, referring to the party.

"Oh yeah I thought you said you were never coming to one of these again." Jace says, Hannah says, bouncing to the music. The whole crew was in the living but Ace went to get Em an other drink.

"Yeah, do not remind me." Em says, scrunching her nose.

"Well at least it isn't your place."

"Could never, sweat makes me nauseous." Emilia says.

"Well except for mine." Ace cuts in from behind Em, kissing her neck.

"Mhm-mhm" Emilia spins around to face Ace, kissing him softly. "You make it a lot less boring though." she says to Ace.

"I do don't I?" Ace says and Emilia chuckle, nodding.

"So looks like you guys are getting pretty serious." Hailey says.

"I guess we are" Ace responds.

~Maybe I could tell them who I really am.~ Emilia asks.

"So, probably we should. Tell them?" Noah comments.

"Tell us? Tell us what? Us who?"

"You and Abigail."

"Me? what do I have to do with this?" Abigail questions.

"I- it's nothing, really." Ace says.

"What do you mean nothing?" Abigail asks again.

"Yea, what is all this?" Emilia asks and gives Ace a determine look.

"Okay, okay. We have something to tell you guys, but it can't be in here, let's go somewhere private guys."

"Sure, my room."

The twelve friends makes their way to James's room quickly.

"So, what is it?" Abigail asks.

"Speak, now." Was all Emilia says, and all she needed to say.

"We're TG!" Everyone whispers.

"What!?" both Abigail and Emilia exclaims.

"We're TG" McKenna repeats a little bit louder.

"Wait, what?"

"I said we're T-"

"Well I heard you the first time, but- Is this some kind of joke?" Abigail questions.

"I told you guys they won't be able to handle it." Levie rolls his eyes, making him look even hotter in that viking costume.

"Well what did you expect? You just revealed that you have been sharing people's personal matters to the entire school against their wishes. And then Em-" Abigail wanted to say that this is not what Em needs right now, but she knew saying that would be a bad idea, especially after the information they just learnt.

Speaking of, this entire time, Emilia stood still, silent as ever. She was hoping that what she just heard wasn't true. Especially since she had been so close to telling them the truth. It was like asking the devil not be mean. Extremely stupid and a bad idea.

"Em? Em what?" Ace asks.

"Tell me this is not true, Ace, tell me this is just you guys trying to scare me on Halloween, because you win, I am scared." Emilia asks Ace. Ace only gives her a look and she knew.

"Babe-" Ace makes an attempt to approach her but she immediately pulls back.

"Do not -babe- me." Emilia then turns to James, her heart racing. "You knew about this?"

"Em, it's not as bad as it sounds, trust-" James was cut off.

"So you did know." Emilia says. The room was silent for a few moments. "I was this close." Emilia says, making a little gap between her thumb and index finger.

To the rest, it sounded like she meant she was this close to getting to trust them completely, but James and Abigail knew what she actually meant. She meant she was this close to revealing her secret to them.

"I am leaving." and that is exactly what she did, she left. Ace attempted to go after her, but was immediately stopped by Abigail.

"No. Just leave us alone, you guys obviously can not be trusted." Abigail then turns to James. "Neither can you."

"Abbs-" James began to say but Abigail had already left.

"Well that was shit." Noah says, scratching the back of his neck.

"I told you guys it's too soon."

"Shut up Levie."

"Guys"

"Well I bet my relationship is now nonexistent." Ace runs his fingers through his hair stressfully.

"Guys"

"Talk about your relationship, they will never speak to me again, and we've been friends since birth!"

"GUYS!"

Everyone turns to the voice at the door. It was Abigail.

"Abbie, you're back, where's Em?" James asks.

"That is the point. I went out after her, but by the time I got outside and- some, scruffy men." Abigail ranted.

"What scruffy men?" Ace pipes up, fully alerted.

"Some scruffy men with snake tattoos on their arms- They took her!"

"They what?"
