My first Jemma fic- The title is influenced by the song Keep holding on -By: Avril Lavigne.
Spike stumbled down the flight of stairs into the basement to go check on her daughter. She got up looked at Emma to find her sleeping in her bed, and then went back upstairs. Just after Spike shut the door Emma opened her eyes, looked at her alarm clock (which said 11:45), pulled the mint-green silk covers off of her body, and then crawled out of her window into the cold outdoors.
This was a normal routine for her, well ever since Snake passed away, and after the shooting. Emma's mother turned into a drug addict caused by depression after Snake passed away. Once in a while her mother would try to commit suicide, usually by overdosing on pills. So now Emma doesn't care about anything except taking care of her little brother Jack, not even the environment.
Emma started to walk towards the ravine in the blistering cold. She was practically a professional at escaping to the ravine, only because she did it five times a week for about a month now. She liked going to the ravine and she started to hang out with Jay almost everyday. It was the only place that she could be free to do what she wants and not worry about what other people thought about her. All of the other people at the ravine were either drunk or stoned and didn't care about anything. Emma was basically the only "clean" person there, but she didn't care, she just went there for pleasure and to be as free as she pleases.
Once she got to the ravine, she sat down on an empty bench and tears ran down the sides of her cheekbones. The December coldness in the air was causing her nose to turn pink and her body to shiver. Tears came down faster and her sobs became louder and she couldn't hold it in any longer. She heard foot steps rustling behind her, so she turns around looks up and sees… Jay Hogart.
" Hey, are you ok?" Jay asked while sitting next to her.
"Does it look like I'm ok?" she said sobbing.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
" If you'll listen to me."
" Yeah, I will, I promise." He sighed and Emma looked surprised but then continued.
"Okay, I really don't know where to start." She said still sobbing.
" Just start anywhere, you know that I wont tell anyone." Jay said looking at her tear stained face.
" Yeah,(she paused for a second) I know."
"Well, It all started when Snake died." She said still in tears, " Mom was depressed and all, then she started overdosing on depression pills. I don't have a family anymore, My Friends hate me and I have no one."
"No, You're wrong." Jay said as he lifted up her chin, "You have me."
Jay leant in and gave her a small peck on the lips.
So...what did you think? Should I make this a oneshot or keep going?--YES I KNOW IT WAS SHORT BUT I COULDNT THINK OF WHAT TO ADD...IT WAS JUST SOMETHING THAT WAS STUK IN MY HEAD.--
