AN:// Based off of Crazy Little Thing Called Love and Rock This Town. Don't worry, JT doesn't die. It's the night of the party and everyone's there celebrating Liberty's party; soon it becomes a house party. All the obvious people are there (Liberty, Manny, JT, Jay, Sean and Emma). Emma and Sean plan to do the deed tonight but someone tells Sean about Jay and Emma's hookup (Oh another thing, they didn't stop hooking up till Sean came back, not a relationship, just friends with benefits sort of thing, along the way Jay sort of got feelings but didn't say anything as he thought Emma didn't feel the same way) So yeah. Jay's thoughts are in BOLD and Emma's thoughts are in ITALICS.
"Surprise Liberty!" Everyone cheered as Liberty walked down the stairs with a fairly large and happy smile on her face. Liberty was stunning and tonight should be a great night, right? Emma paced nervously and shaking when no one was looking.
What am I thinking? I can't lose my virginity to him; I just got done giving head to his best friend Jay a few months earlier. I don't know anymore, I just can't. I should tell the truth, tell him it's not the time, or I should simply break up with him and tell him that someone else has my heart. That's right Emma, way to be a boner kill huh? I have to do this, I've known him forever, screw the heart.
"Oh wow" Liberty said surprised at the sparklers used as candles. JT was in awe at the way she looked. Sadly Liberty and JT aren't together. Mia Jones is supposedly holding his heart right now; JT is the father figure to her three year old daughter Bella. Suddenly a pounding on the door came. Manny told all of her friends to stay put; it's probably just a few more guests for Liberty's party. But to her surprise in walked Marco, Dylan and Ellie were they even Liberty's friends? Did they even talk? Manny slowly shut the door but then was interrupted by Danny and Derek shoving it open and causing Manny to tip backwards and stumble just a bit. Emma started to realize that more and more unknown people were walking in, so she slid against the sides of the wall to where Manny was standing. Emma's heart exploded inside of her at the site of Jay Hogart, her friends with benefits, waltz on in like he knew this house perfectly.
"Let's rock this joint!" Jay said all too excited. The smell of cigarettes and some cologne that Emma knew just too well invaded her lungs. Emma instantly relaxed as her and Jay's eye's met for some time.
"Jay! What are you doing here?!" Emma tried asking rudely but she knew that Jay knew that she couldn't be rude to him even if she wanted to.
"Words on the street and I wanted to check in on my friend with----"Jay smirked at the last part and pointed his eyes up to where Sean was and nodded at him. Jay knew that Emma and Sean were like, together forever he couldn't break them up.
God I miss her. Sean can just walk in and take her away from me so simply. I only wish I had that effect on her. I wouldn't be partying right now, watching as she and Sean make puppy love to each other on some wall. If Emma and I were together I'd be with her, keeping her to myself like some prized jewel, that if I lost it, I would simply never have the time of day for anyone. Whoa Jay, to deep. Hopefully I can hook up with some random girl and make a good night tonight, time to get my mind off of that Emma Nelson.
Emma stood dazed as Jay nudged past her and Sean. Emma's heart sunk and she knew that this night wouldn't be fun for her.
"How many minutes?" Sean asked eagerly. If he wanted to be with Emma forever, why would the minutes matter?
"Mm…thirty…tick tock tick tock" She purred all too seductively. Jay heard the sound of that purr that he knew too well and instantly dented some of his beer can.
Well no chance of ever getting back with Emma
Emma waited till Sean walked off to talk to some guy friends, she instantly grabbed for the tequila bottle her parents kept on the top of the fridge and spiked her drink and swigged just a bit in her bottle. Jay saw this from afar and smirked. He knew she was a lightweight, he definitely knew that from all the times they spent together. Jay squirmed his way through the people and put his hands on Emma's hips.
"Sean I said to wait, I have to---"Emma said bitterly as she turned around to meet the face of Jay. Emma blushed a pink red color.
"Jay! He'll see us!" Emma said in the same bitter tone. Only Jay knew she was faking it and she really wasn't all that mad, just embarrassed.
"Calm down he's upstairs, drinking your problems away?" Jay said as he took the bottle out of her hands.
"Something like that, Jay please no one can see us like…this" She stuttered out the last word as she reached down and pushed Jay's hands, which fell limply to his sides. Jay bit the left side of his cheek and sighed quietly. Emma knew he still cared but she couldn't do anything about it.
If only he knew how I felt about him, but he never will, and that's just how it is.
Jay walked slowly out of the small kitchen sadly. But could Jay stay sad for long? Of course not! He's Jay Hogart the bad ass. Jay grabbed a beer and leaned against a wall, he could see Emma from where he was standing. Emma on the other hand couldn't simply walk away from someone who once, and may still have her heart. She rubbed her forehead and felt sick. Must be the tequila getting to her, but Emma didn't care. That's the part of her that Jay rubbed off on. She used to be sensitive and delicate when it came to pain, but after the past one and half year spending time with Jay she changed into someone who didn't care about anything really, if her stomach hurt she would simply drink it off till it didn't hurt. Emma Nelson the wimp? That's old news; well to Jay it is at least. She shook off her faze of dizziness and walked out of her kitchen and onto where everyone was dancing, she grabbed a random guy who was fairly cute from the back of him and danced with him. Turns out it was Johnny, a Lakehurst student and the main bully to. Did Emma really care? No not really. She danced dirty with him till she blurred out and stumbled against a wall. Drake, another Lakehurst student grabbed her arm.
"Why don't you dance with me, a hot girl like you shouldn't be here alone…" He said into her ear. Emma slid up and got onto her feet. She couldn't see straight at all until she bumped into Sean.
"Sean hey!" Emma slurred out almost happily. Jay watched from afar, and to his surprise he was quite amused, Emma never got this drunk.
"Are you wasted Em?" Sean asked seriously.
"The question is, am I wasted enough?" Emma giggled and dragged Sean into her basement. Sean laid on the bed and Emma looked at the mirror, but she didn't see anything, just a figure.
"Are you sure about this Emma? Because we can wait" Sean said half-heartedly. Yes Sean Cameron wanted so badly to get into Emma's pants, he really didn't care if she said yes or no, he wanted in and tonight, nothing could stop it.
"Oh Seany-boy are you wimping out on me? Because I bet Jay or someone wouldn't mind being in here with me!" Emma slurred out once again. Sean felt himself tense up at Jay's name.
"Jay?" Sean completely killed the mood that was once hot but now it was dulled.
"Oops, what I meant was any guy…Like Jay, you know like those type of guys, you know?" Emma giggled but a small voice in the back of her head was telling her she was an idiot.
"Sure…" Sean said obviously confused. Emma figured it was about the time to do the deed so she jumped on Sean and she could feel the erection in Sean's pants. Something just wasn't right about this moment.
I don't love him! I know I'm slightly wasted but come on! I want Jay, I have to tell Sean it's over, right now, now or never, have to do this, and if I'm wrong I'll lie, make something up I don't know!
"Sean wait…" Emma grabbed his hands and put them on his chest.
"What now?" Sean said to hastily. He just wanted to get this over with.
"I can't do this" Emma blurted out. Her head spun in a million directions at once. She felt she did the right thing but did it benefit everyone else? Emma climbed off of Sean dizzily, but as she was half off, Sean grabbed her and pulled her back on.
"Were doing this tonight Em, you'll love it I promise!" Sean said as he unbuttoned her dress slowly. Emma swatted his hand.
"I'm not in love with you!" Emma spat out.
"So?" Sean said obviously pissed with all the delay.
"So, we can't do this" She climbed off of him more swiftly and buttoned her dress back up. Emma reached for the door handle but Sean jumped in front of her.
"Now why's that?" Sean said more aggressively.
"Because I'm in love with freaking Jay Hogart!" Emma's heart raced but she was relieved to finally have said that. Sean's expression turned into pure hate as he opened the door and pushed Emma out, but that wasn't all, he slammed her against the wall like he would to a guy and Sean just walked down the stairs. Jay heard the thump and looked up. He was expecting Emma and Sean giggling all happily, but it was just Sean looking pissed. Jay grabbed Sean by his shirt collar.
"What happened?" Jay said concerned but kind of happy.
"Oh I don't know, she said she's in love with you!" Sean growled and dumped Jay's drink in his face. Jay smirked at how that moment played out. He also felt happiness and went looking for Emma. Emma on the other hand felt dazed and stumbled to the bathroom.
Finally, we can be together, but knowing Emma she'll probably be emotional and cry but at least I'll be the one to hold her.
Jay giddily walked through the house looking for Emma. Emma was in the bathroom feeling the blood on the back of her head. She felt suffocated inside this house with all the booze and weed being passed around her. She walked downstairs and into the hallway where Johnny and Drake were offering Danny and Derek a beer as a peace offering. Derek being an idiot took it, not knowing it was shook up and it exploded everywhere. The beers foam went onto Emma's face, JT's clothes and Spinners eyes.
"That's it!" Spinner slammed Johnny against the railing.
"Chill out man it's a party!" Drake said, eyeing Emma out of the corner of his eye. Emma felt the stare on her chest and looked up.
"Hey…Blondie, want to join us? We could have our own party" Drake offered but Emma looked down and shook her head no. Sean saw this and shoved Drake and Johnny out of the house with Spinner's help.
"Bad move Degrassi!" Drake called out, seeking Emma out and winked.
Am I a target for him now? Goody.
Everyone parted their separate ways and Emma stood alone. Emma looked around, really only hoping to find Jay but instead saw Manny grinding against Damien, the guy that was supposed to be Liberty's date. Manny kissed him but instantly stopped and walked off saying something to him really fast. Emma decided to stumble over there, walking over glass and streamers on her way over. Automatically Emma grabbed another drink that looked tasty to her and downed it into her mouth. That drink however, was spiked terribly of something that was way too strong for Emma. Emma immediately felt more dazed and decided to walk outside for a bit. Forgetting that she was looking for Jay, and also forgetting that Drake and Johnny were outside somewhere and they obviously aren't the type of people to be around in the middle of the night. Still Emma stumbled around the streets until she saw Jay's car, hoping it would be unlocked she walked over to it. Emma really just wanted to sleep, this was Jay could find her more easily. On her way over Emma saw Johnny and Drake but did she care? No, she was more wasted than ever. Johnny was peeing on Sean's car and Drake was leaning on the car staring at Emma as she wandered around.
"Lost?" He called out to her.
"No just dizzy!" She giggled as she danced around the middle of the street. Drake tapped Johnny's shoulder to look over and Johnny chuckled.
"So why didn't you dance with me?" Drake called out.
"Well! You see I'm in love with this one guy but I was going to lose my virginity to this other guy and I was wasted terribly so yeah I couldn't get up!" Emma blabbed out.
"I see." Drake purred out.
"Yeah! Now could move your loser bodies over? I have to get something…Out of this car" Emma hinted as she pushed Johnny and Drake back making them stumble. For a petite girl she was pretty powerful when she was drunk enough.
"Bad move Blondie" Drake scoffed as he took out a pocket knife. Emma turned around to ask him what he said but instead was stabbed right in the kidneys. Oh no but the pain wasn't over just yet. Drake grazed the pocket knife all over her, causing more and more blood to gush out. Emma couldn't scream, all she could do was go into shock and scream mentally inside of her, now dyeing, head. She slid down the side of the car, squeaking as she slid down. Emma knew these were her last moments.
I didn't tell him I loved him. He'll never know that I love him more then he knows. I didn't think of him as my random hookup he was my Jay! I'll never be able to grow gray with him, watch out kids grow up or even make love to him. My life is pointless now, well yeah because I'm dyeing and I'm wasted and Jay doesn't even know how I feel.
Emma watched as the blood drained from her once tan skin, which was now pale and cold. Emma stared off into the distance blankly. As she died, she watched the party go on without her.
I can't scream, I can't do anything. I love Jay and I love Manny and I love my parents. Please dear God if your listening don't take me away just yet please just don't!
Emma whimpered and looked down at the pool of blood surrounding her. She felt as the tears came down slowly and lifelessly.
Where's Emma? She's nowhere to be found. I can't help but worry for her, I love her.
"JT!" JT instantly looked up from his conversation with Liberty and slammed his self against the wall.
"Where's Emma?" Jay said rushed.
"No beat down?" JT said cheekily but with a hint a tension.
"Just where is she, freak?" Jay said more coolly.
"I don't know, I saw her last by the front door, I think she drank something spiked. Probably stumbling around somewhere, why?" JT said concerned but with a tinge of humor.
"Tell you later, wait a second, no I won't" Jay felt better as he shoved through the people to the front door which was wide open. He saw his Emma sitting down and leaning on Sean's car. She looked passed out cold. Jay felt something go through his spine, panic. He ran across the street and smelt the blood in the air. Kneeling down to Emma, he saw that the blood was covering the street. It was Emma's blood.
Not now please be a sick joke! Shit I'm going to cry. I don't know what to do. I love her but she's dyeing! What can I do! Calm down Hogart, ok we can do this. Emma's going to live, I can't let her die.
