“You’re going to leave Ali alone now Daniel. You’re going to stop falsely apologizing, and you’re never going to ask for her back again. Got it?” asked Jason.

                “Please, I’ve got three friends with me. If you want to threaten me, I’m telling you now you stand no chance” he said.

                “Really? Harry, John, Michael, would you really fight me with Daniel after you’d just seen what he’s done?” asked Jason. He smiled at their chorus of no’s.

                “Bye Daniel,” I said as Jason and I walked out of the ice cream shop. Leaving that place, I couldn’t stop the tears as they flowed from my eyes.

                As soon as we rounded the corner from the ice cream shop, Jason embraced me a huge hug. He pulled me tight up against him,and I laid my head on his chest. I felt his biceps flex as he picked me up. Laughing, I swatted his chest.

                “Put me down!” I said looking into his face.

                “Not until you smile again,” he said. I gave him a very sarcastic smile.

                “Fake, but I’ll let you go,” he said setting my feet back on the ground. I wiped the few smears my tears left in my mascara off my face.

                “We need to find Emma. As much as I hate her for being the one Daniel cheated on me with, she didn’t do anything wrong.”

                “Already on it,” said Jason flipping out his cell phone and dialing Ben’s number.

                I smiled. It was getting harder and harder to think of Jason as my fake boyfriend. He was always there, always watching out for me. I liked it.
