This is a powerpoint presentation of my own fan fiction story of the Lying Game (Emma and Thayer).

“Nothing. Just okay… but sometimes I feel like I’m not that

jealousy.
Emma said, looking away from Thayer.
“I hope you don’t feel like that when you are with me…”
Thayer suddenly looked at her with puppy dog eyes.
Emma giggled. “No. Never. I love us…”

3. Thayer and Emma have been best friends since forever. They
do almost everything together, share everything together and
now they are both 17 and finishing high school together…
“I forgot the
password for my
laptop again…”
Emma said while
waiting for Thayer
to unlock her
laptop.
“Haha. What
would you do
without me?”
Thayer said as he
successfully
unlocked her
laptop.

4. Throughout their journey together as bestfriends… Thayer never imagined
that he would fall in love with Emma. Love, for him, in a new form because
Thayer had always loved Emma as a bestfriend and sister but never like
this….
He even remembers the day they swore that they would marry
each other in the future. They were young and innocent back
then and they loved each other platonically…

5. Thayer and Emma never imagined a life without each other.
That is why both of them were depressed when Emma and
her family had to move to Las Vegas because of her dad’s
job.

6. She was devastated because she had to leave her life in Phoenix.
But saying goodbye to Thayer was the hardest part of leaving. She
didn’t know how to live a new life without her best friend beside her.
“Thay… I’m leaving…”
Emma said crying her eyes
out. “I wish I could take you
with me…”
“Emma…” Thayer said as
he hugged Emma tightly,
never wanting to let her
go. “You’ll always have
me…”

7. Even though Emma was in Las Vegas, Thayer still loved her and
communicated with her daily through internet chatting & texting…
He counted every day they were apart and waited patiently for them to
be reunited. He has also made the decision to carefully plan his big
revelation to her…

8. And now… after 2 years of living in Las Vegas, Emma decided to
spend the summer in Phoenix so that she could be with Thayer…
But her return is not the only thing that will surprise Thayer…

9. On the day of Emma’s return, Thayer planned to tell her that he loved her.
He has everything planned and ready for a whole day with her. He even
thought that Emma would feel the same way and that they would be the
happiest couple in the world.

10. “Emma…” Thayer paused as he looked at Emma, lovingly.
“Welcome home.” He smiled brightly as tears start to form.
“It’s good to be home!” Emma said as she hugged him tightly. “I
missed you, Thay!”
“You know Emmz, I have the whole summer planned for the two of us! We
would go to the beach then visit the new natural museum and-” Emma
interrupted him, with a smiling stare.
“Thay, I have to tell you something…” Emma said timidly. “It’s not just
the two of us this summer… I brought my boyfriend with me…

11. “You brought your boyfriend? Why? I thought the reason why you came
home was to spend time with me?” Thayer said. He was not shocked but
rather hurt.
“I know.” She sighed. “Ethan has been my boyfriend for a year now and I
brought him here with me so that you could get to know him and so that I
could be with two of the best men in life this summer…”

12. “What if we don’t get
along? What if we become
enemies? What if he is a
jerk like all of your other
ex-boyfriends?” Thayer
said wishing for Emma to
break up with this guy.
“Don’t think like that! You
will love him! You two are
compatible, really! Ethan
is amazing!” Emma said,
wanting Thayer to agree
with her plan.

13. “Thayer, promise me you’ll be nice to him?” Emma said
smiling but then she realized what Thayer might be feeling
towards the whole thing. “Are you mad at me, Thay?”
Thayer looked at her with forgiving and understanding eyes.
“No, Emma. I can never be mad at you…” Even though he was
hurt. He smiled weakly then said, “Now, let’s go meet Ethan…”

14. Ethan was
patiently waiting
for the two to
finish talking
when Thayer and
Emma emerged.
Thayer quickly
observed Ethan.
He was doing a
swift analysis of
Emma’s new
boyfriend. “He was
good-looking but
Emma is obviously
too good for this
guy…” Thayer
thought.
Emma then introduced them to each other. After eating snacks and getting
to know each other, Emma and Ethan started retelling their lovestory…

15. Apparently, Emma and Ethan are schoolmates and both of them are part of the
dance club and they were assigned partners. Then they started hanging out as
friends and then Ethan asked Emma to the prom.
At prom, Ethan told Emma that he likes her and it so happens that Emma likes
him too. When Emma and Ethan danced, he kissed her. And the rest is obviously
history.

16. The rest of the days were
complete torture for
Thayer. The three of them
were always together.
But sometimes it seemed
as if the world was only
revolving around Emma
and Ethan…

17. Thayer was jealous of them. “This was supposed to be OUR summer…” He
thought. He knew he that he had already lost Emma to Ethan. So he decided
to tell her the truth…

18. “Emma! Wait!” Thayer said
as he grabbed Emma’s
hand.
“I can’t talk right now, Thay!
Ethan needs me!” Emma
said in a hurry.
“Ethan doesn’t need your
help. I was the one who sent
the text… I just really need to
talk to you… it’s important…”
Thayer said pleadingly.
Emma looked hard at
Thayer then sighed.
“Okay.” She said.

19. Thayer took Emma to the old cabin
where they used to play together.
“Emmz, remember this
place? It was very

Thayer saiddown on

would marry each other.
“You haven’t
changed. You are still
the funny, sweet and
fun-loving girl I
irrevocably fell in love
with…
Emma smiled
bashfully.

20. “I love you Emma
Becker since the first
time and I was afraid
to tell you how I feel
because… first I was
scared of losing you
forever…
“And second I knew I
wasn’t worthy of you…
You were too perfect.”
Emma was surprised at
what he said. She had
always thought that SHE
was never good enough
for Thayer. She thought
that Thayer was too good
for her.

21. “But I know in my heart
that I already lost you…
and… you and I can
never be together. Still, I
want to be the one to
catch you when you
fall…”
“And…I know all of the
things that make you who
you are. But I always knew
that you belonged to
someone else and Ethan
was there for you… ”
Thayer said as he
remembered the photo of
Emma and Ethan that he
saw.

22. “But Emma, I still love you…so much and I want you to know
that whatever happens… I’ll still be there for you.” Thayer said
as he held her hand.

23. Emma looked at
Thayer. It wasn’t
shock that she felt… it
was understanding
and fear. She loves
Thayer but not in that
way… How do you
break up with your
bestfriend??? Emma
thought.
“Thayer… I love you. But
not the way you do.” She
wanted to let him down
gently. He was his
bestfriend… the brother
she never had… now…
she was about to loose
him… she was afraid that
might’ve already lost
him…

24. Thayer looked at her and contemplated on what she said. He
“This sucks…” Emma said, frowning hard.herwish I could be

Unconsciously, he way you are with me… wish I could hold
you and tell you…” Emma paused and closed her eyes. “I
her.
wish you could still be mine…” Emma said, almost crying.
It was a bittersweet act of letting go. It’s the first and last
time… Thayer sadly thought.

25. “I understand that you
love Ethan. You can’t
have everything, right?”
He smiled a little.
“Thayer… I hope you
don’t hate me…” Emma
finally said. “I can never
hate you…” Thayer said
sadly.
Emma stared at Thayer.
He kissed me… Emma
thought. It was magically
sad.
Emma did not hate him
for kissing her… actually
it left her wanting more.
But then guilt filled her… I
love Ethan… right?

26. “Let’s go home?” Thayer then stood up and held Emma’s hand urging her to stand and
leave… “I can’t loose you…” Emma said as they were leaving. “No. Not yet.”

27. “Emma,
what’s
wrong?”
Ethan said
worriedly.
“It’s
Thayer…”
Emma said
as if she
wasn’t sure
what she was
saying. “He
told me that
he loved
me…”
After Thayer took Emma home, Emma called Ethan and asked him to
meet her… She wanted someone to talk to… Thayer’s revelation was
too much for her to bear…

28. “He took me to the cabin where we used to play when we were kids. Then he
told me that he loved me…” Emma was shaking hard…
“I can’t loose him, Ethan. I just can’t! He’s always been there for me… He
cared for me and understood me like no one else did. He loved me when I’m
a success and loved me even more when I was a mess…

29. “Emma, everything is going to be okay… Maybe not now but it will…” Ethan
said as he hugged her tightly…
“No, Ethan. Once your bestfriend falls in love with you… you can never be
bestfriends ever again…” Emma said, still shaken by the idea of living without
Thayer, her bestfriend.
“What were the reasons
why he was your
bestfriend?” Ethan said.
Emma looked at him.
“What?”
“Just answer the
question, Emmz.” Ethan
said using the nickname
Thayer uses.

30. “Thayer is funny… he
brings life where ever he
goes. He is
understanding… he
never jumps to
conclusions. He is
patient… he never
complains...” Emma
smiled as she trailed off.
Ethan looked at her with understanding. Not because he understood the
situation she was in but because he understood why Emma was acting
this way… She was in love with Thayer and she doesn’t know it. She
was torn.
“Emma, why don’t we have a picnic tomorrow… just the two of us? Just
to get your mind of things…” Ethan said. “Okay. I’d like that.” Emma
smiled as he sat next to Ethan.

31. “Okay, then.” Both of them stood up and they hugged each
other tightly. “Now get some sleep… I’ll pick you up
tomorrow…” Ethan said.
After Ethan left, Emma went to bed immediately. She was
emotionally tired. Her head was still pounding and thoughts were
swirling in her mind.
As she slept, she dreamt about Thayer… their memories together
and the moment he told her he loved her…

32. After Ethan left Emma’s house, he
didn’t go home. He went to Thayer’s
house. He needed to talk to him about
Emma.
“Thayer.” Ethan said as Thayer
opened the door. “Ethan. It’s late.
Emma’s not here.” Thayer said as
Ethan stormed in. “I know. I’m here
for you.”
“Okay… What’s up?” Thayer said. “You
love Emma?” Ethan said. Thayer
looked at him with enlarged eyes. “She
told you?” Thayer replied. “She loves
you…” Ethan said finally. It was what
he wanted to tell Emma.
“No. She loves you.” Thayer said
not wanting to get his hopes up.
“No, Thayer. She loves you… She
didn’t even need to tell me…”
Ethan said.

33. “Thayer, she was trembling at the
idea of loosing you. That is not a
normal reaction for her…” Ethan
said. “I love her but from what I’ve
experienced this summer… she
loves you.” Thayer then stood up.
“Ethan, I kissed Emma…” Ethan
then looked at him with hard eyes.
“Ethan, I swear. I never wanted to
break the two of you up. I just
wanted to tell her how I feel
because I just can’t live with
myself without her knowing my
true feelings…” Thayer said. He
looked at Ethan with remorse.

34. Ethan suddenly approached a
couple of picture frames an
looked at them hard. They were
pictures of Thayer and Emma.

35. Then Thayer picked up a picture of Emma. He remembered the
day he took that picture. They were having a picnic near the
cabin. It was the day they accidentally kissed.
“I loved her since the first
day she came to my
house to play with my
sister. I loved everyday
since then…” Thayer said
still looking at the picture.
Ethan then started to
leave. Thayer suddenly
spun around. “Why are
you doing this?” Ethan
then looked at him once
more. “Because I
understand... Besides, I
don’t want to get in the
way of true love…”

36. Emma woke up with a heavy
heart. She then turned on her
laptop and opened photos of
Thayer and her. She was crying
because she missed him so. Then
she thought about what Thayer
had said and the possibility of her
loving him…

37. After Ethan left,
Thayer wanted to see
Emma and discover if
what Ethan said was
true.
When Thayer was
walking towards
Emma’s house, he was
thinking about
everything they have
been through…
Thayer knew that he
and Emma’s
relationship was never
going to be same.
Thayer was, at that moment, looking at Emma. He
As Thayer reached saw how sad she was and how much she missed
Emma’s house, he saw him. He felt sick… he never wanted her to be like
the truth… this…

38. The next morning, Thayer then started
driving… he didn’t know where he was
going he just wanted to clear his head
but all he could think of was his
moments with Emma…
It’s going to be hard to let go of
something I’ve held on for so long…
Thayer thought.

39. That same morning,
Emma got ready for
her picnic with Ethan.
All the while, she was
thinking about Thayer
and Ethan...
She thought about the time Ethan
kissed her at their prom… then
the moment Thayer kissed her
yesterday came to mind
instantly… She felt intoxicated by
the kiss. She could still feel
Thayer’s lips on hers. But Emma’s thoughts were interrupted
when Ethan came to pick her up.

40. “Thank you for this,
Ethan.” Emma smiled
as she looked at him
sincerely. Ethan smiled
weakly. Because he
knew what going to
happen next…
“Emma, I noticed… we
haven’t danced since
we got here to
Phoenix.”He then
extended his hand.
Emma smiled and
stood up taking his
strong hands.

41. Emma and Ethan danced
happily like it was their last…
and for that moment… Emma
forgotten about her dilemma.
“Thank you, Ethan!” Emma
said as he hugged her. “You
always make me happy…”
“I love you, Emma.” He
smiled. “But I’m afraid I have
to hurt you now…”

42. “I have to break up with you, Emma…” Ethan said. “It’s for your own
good…”
Emma looked at Ethan hard but she was able to absorb all that he had
said. “Why?” That was all Emma could say.
“Because I know the truth…” Ethan said with no regrets. “You love
Thayer…”

43. “What are you
saying, Ethan? I
don’t love
Thayer…” Emma
said with a ring of
uncertainty.
“No, Emma.” Ethan
sighed. “If you were
to loose Thayer and
me at the same
time… who would
save?” Ethan said.
In Emma’s heart, she
would save Thayer but “It would hurt even more to loose Thayer instead of
she said, “You.” Ethan me. Admit it.” Ethan said.
looked at her
disapprovingly. “Liar.”
“I can’t.” Emma said as she started crying.
“Because if I do, then I loose you.”

44. “You can never loose what was never yours in the first place…” Ethan said.
“Don’t you get it? When you left Phoenix, you needed someone to take Thayer’s
place… and you chose me… you loved me because I am just like Thayer…” He
sighed. “Remember last night? You said Thayer was funny, understanding and
patient… I also remember you saying that exact same thing to me when I asked
you what you loved most about me…”

45. Emma
suddenly had
different
flashbacks of
her and
Thayer…
suddenly she
made a
realization…
She did love
Thayer…
Ethan then hugged Emma tight. “I’m so sorry, Ethan… I never
meant to hurt you…” Emma suddenly cried. “I did love you,
though…” Emma said.
“Emma, it’s okay.” Ethan said, smiling. “You and Thayer deserve each
other… He loves you…”

46. Emma then looked at Ethan and carefully placed her hand on his cheek. “I
loved you, Ethan.” Ethan then, as if saying goodbye for the last time, kissed
Emma. He knew it would the last but he was happy to let her go so she could
be with her true love… Thayer.

47. Apparently, Thayer
ended up driving to
the fields and he
saw everything…
the picnic… the
dancing… the
laughs and smiles…
the kiss… He
couldn’t take it… He
could never make
happy the way
Ethan just did to
her… He could
never compete to
what they had.
Thayer saw how perfect they were for each other… They loved
each other… they made each other happier…
Emma does not love him…
Now, he was the one who was devastated.

48. Emma and Ethan saw Thayer
walking away from the scene.
“Go, Emma. Tell him how
much you love him…” Ethan
smiled.
“Thank you, Ethan.”
But Thayer was faster than Emma remembered. Because when Emma
chased him, she couldn’t find him.
“Thayer! Thayer! It’s Emma! Wait up!” Emma shouted. But she couldn’t
see him anywhere.
Emma suddenly thought that Thayer must’ve left and was never planning
on coming back…

49. “Thayer…” Emma suddenly whispered. “I love you… It’s you I choose…”
Emma was starting to cry… “Where are you?” She said.
“I’m right here, Emma.” Thayer said. “I’m always right here…”

50. “Emma, wha-” Emma
immediately
interrupted him.
“Thayer, I love you.”
Emma said really fast.
“I want to be with
you… I choose you…
please choose me
too…”
Thayer slightly smiled.
But still he doesn’t
believe her fully.
“I want to believe you,
Emmz. But I feel like
this is just a sweet
dream and I’m about to
wake up anytime
soon…

51. “This is real, Thayer. This is not a dream…” Emma looked at him sincerely. “I
knew in my heart that I love you… and I was just… afraid…”
“Emma, I am afraid too… afraid of hurting you…afraid of disappointing you…
afraid of not being good enough… afraid of loosing you forever…

52. “I love you, Thayer…” Emma said. “I’ll never leave you… I’ll always need
you… So let’s be afraid together…”
Thayer looked at her. She is in love with me… I’m not crazy…This is really
happening…

53. Emma then impatiently
kissed Thayer…
It was long-awaited and
passionate. Thayer held
her waist tightly… never
planning on letting her go.
Emma blew sweet kisses
one after the other and
Thayer responded using
every bit of his energy to
let her feel the fiery
warmth of his beating
heart. They were one…
united… at last.

54. “Thayer, I’m sorry about yesterday…”
Emma said. “Emma, I’m sorry about
everything… and especially for not
telling you about my feelings soon…”
Thayer said almost crying…
“No..no..no..” Emma shook her head. “I
love you and that’s forever…”
Emma then hugged Thayer.
“Forever…” Thayer whispered.

55. Ethan saw everything…
He was sad and jealous
but he understood and on
the inside he knew that
they belonged together…
Ethan knew that Emma
would be much happier in
Thayer’s arms…
“Goodbye, Emma.” Ethan
said silently. “Have a good
life…”

56. The next day, Ethan took the bus
back to Las Vegas. Emma felt sad
about saying goodbye to Ethan but
she had Thayer to comfort her…
Thayer hugged Emma as she read
the goodbye note from Ethan…
Thayer was thinking about how he
would be the safe harbor for Emma
when she has problems… He
would be anything for her…
Emma was reading the letter and
felt guilty about the whole situation
but is happy to be in Thayer’s
gentle and strong arms… she was
thinking that she and Thayer might
go through a lot of troubles but in
the end… they would be stronger…
happier… and loving each other
more…

57. The following days with
Thayer were amazing…
But when the last day of
summer came… Emma knew
she had to leave Thayer
again…
But she thought that it was
the last year in highschool…
after that, Emma and Thayer
could apply for the same
university…
On the day before Emma’s
departure, Thayer sent her
an email that said to him at
the cabin…
Emma grew excited and got
dressed immediately…

58. When Emma arrived
at the cabin, she
found Thayer
waiting patiently for
her with a smile on
his face…
“Good morning…” Thayer
said. “Since today will be
the last day… I wanted us
to hang out like before…”
Emma looked at him
appreciatively.
“Videogames, bacon,
eggs with you and me?”
Emma smiled. “Yes.”

59. “Breakfast was amazing…” Emma said
as she slouched on the couch. “Do you
think I can beat you?” Emma teased.
“You could try…” Thayer said. Emma
smiled and then grabbed the other
joystick.
“Haha! I won! I totally beat you, Thayer!”
Emma said joyfully as Thayer threw his
joystick behind him, smiling. “Yeah… you
were always the best at this…” Thayer
said. “Never underestimate a girl…” They
both laughed.
“Don’t worry, Thayer… even if you’re a
loser… I’ll still love you.”Emma said
sweetly. Thayer laughed and smiled
wildly. I love you, Emma… I’ll always give
your heart a break…
