Runaway

Simon and Tom both looked at a girl neither of them recognised, walking through the corridors of the studio.

"Are you okay there?" Tom asked, noticing that she seemed a little lost.

"Oh my God! You're Tom Jeter!"

Tom smiled. "Yeah, that's me."

"Simon Stiles." Simon took a step towards her.

"I know! I love the show!" She told them. "I'm Emma."

"Well, Emma it's nice to meet you." Simon said, charmingly holding out his hand to her.

"You too..." She smiled and took it.

"Maybe I could show you around..." Tom suggested, taking her hand from Simon.

"No, it's okay... My brother works here... I should probably go and find him." She told them. "Maybe I'll see you two around?"

"Yeah, sure..."

"What does you're brother do?" Simon called after her as she walked down the corridor.

"He keeps telling us its something important...But I don't know if I believe him." She replied, teasingly. "Bye."

Emily kept walking, she didn't know where she was really going but the security guy on the desk had given her directions.

"Emily?"

"Danny!" She sighed in relief, beginning to wonder whether she was lost.

"What are you doing here?" He asked. "Does Matt know your here?"

"No, I wanted to surprise him...but I don't know where he is."

"He's wondering around the studio trying to think." Danny smiled. "I can't believe its you... you're all grown up."

"I've been getting that a lot lately."

"Why don't you go on up to Matt's office and I'll go find him..." Danny suggested. "He'll be pleased to see you..."

"I hope so..."

"He will..." Danny assured her. "He's been stressing out too much lately... it will do him some good to have a little fun."

She smiled softly. "Thanks, Danny..."

"No problem."

"Uh, where is Matt's office?" She questioned.

"Just keep walking that way it's at the top of the stairs."

"Great, thank you."

"I'll see you later...We'll catch up properly... you can tell me all about those boyfriends that Matt won't let you have." Danny teased.

Her smiled fluttered slightly. "Yeah, sure...See you."

Danny continued to walk, finding Tom and Simon still stood in the corridor, arguing about something.

"You guys seen Matt?" He asked.

"No..." Tom glanced at him before looking back at Simon. "Why should it be you?"

"Well, if you do, can you tell him to go to his office?"

"No problem." Simon answered then turned to Tom. "Because I saw her first."

"What?! We were both stood here!"

"What are you guys fighting about?" Danny questioned.

"There's this girl..." Tom informed him.

"Emily..." Simon added.

"Right and she's here to see her brother but I was thinking that I should ask her out..."

"But I'm gonna to do it first." Simon cut in.

"Guys, I would not go there if I was you..." Danny warned.

"Why not?"

"Because this brother...he's probably a 'P.O.B'..."

Simon and Tom looked at each other, questionably. "What the hell is a P.O.B?"

"Psychotic, Overprotective, Brother."

Simon rolled his eyes. "She's a big girl...I'm sure he'd understand."

"What's funnier... cupcake or cheesecake?" Matt suddenly appeared behind them, eyes transfixed on a sketch in his hand as he rewrote it.

"Cupcake." Danny answered. "Hey, Matt...What would you do if some guys you worked with tried hitting you on little sister?"

"Poke their eyeballs out with my pencil and make them eat them." He replied, still looking down, correcting the sketch. "Cabbage or lettuce?"

"Cabbage...You working on something for the show or your lunch order?"

He sighed and looked up for the first time. "At this moment in time, it could be either one...So, what's going on here?"

"Emily is in your office."

"What?"

"Emily is waiting for you in your office."

"Emily? My sister Emily?"

"How many Emily do you know?!"

"Counting that girl I dated last year...4..."

Danny rolled his eyes. "Just go and see her..."

"Okay, thanks..." Matt went to walk away but noticed the looks on Simon and Tom's faces. "What's up with you two?"

"Nothing...nothing...we're good." Tom answered quickly.

"Yep, nothing going on here." Simon added. "Bye."

Matt frowned and watched as they both ran off. "Well, that was strange."

Danny couldn't help but smile slightly. "Yeah, it was..."

Matt walked into his office and saw Emily sat behind his desk, looking at the photos.

"You're in my chair..."

She looked up and grinned when she saw him. "Matt!"

He smiled as she ran over to him to hug him.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I came to surprise you."

"Well, you did that... But why? Are you in trouble?" He asked, stepping back from her.

"No..." She rolled her eyes. "I've graduated from school now and have no plans for the summer so I thought what could be better then spending it with my big brother."

He looked at her for a moment. "You sure there's nothing else."

"Matt!"

"Okay, sorry..." He smiled. "I'm glad you're here...I've missed you."

"I've missed you too...You need to visit more!"

"Yeah, I don't see that happening." He stated, walking over to his desk and started looking through some papers.

"Why?"

"Because your parents are insane."

"Your parents? Don't you mean our parents?"

He glanced up at her. "They disowned me remember."

"Matt..." She sighed.

"I got a meeting with the network president and chairman in like 10 minutes...You be okay? I'll be about an hour or so."

"I'll be fine...I'm a big girl now." She said sarcastically.

"Hmm...maybe you could go and wait with Harriet."

She rolled her eyes again. "Whatever."

"Come on, I'm think she's down on the stage."

"With Simon and Tom?" She questioned and then continued when he looked at her. "I met them earlier...they offered me a tour."

"You stay away from them." He told her, walking towards the door.

"Why?"

"Because I said so." He replied as she followed him down the stairs. "Harri..."

"Yeah..." Harriet turned and saw them walking towards her. "Emily!"

Matt stumbled slightly as Harriet pushed past him to get to his sister. "Hello to you too."

"What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to spend some time with Matt over the summer...I'm beginning to wonder why now, though."

"Wow, you've been here for 5 minutes and already had enough of him? That's got to be a record even for you, Matthew..." Harriet teased.

"Oh haha..."

"Harriet, Danny wants us to work on that 'cell phone' sketch..." Tom started as Simon and him walked over to them. "Oh... Emily...uh, hi..."

"Hey Tom..." She smiled at him and then noticed neither him nor Simon would look at her. "Hi, Simon."

"Hi."

Matt looked at from each other them to the other before stepping in between Emily and the guys.

"See, what I mean..." Emily said to Harriet.

"Matthew, she's a grown woman..."

"No, she isn't..."

"She probably has lots of guys lined up to date her..." She continued.

"No, she doesn't."

"Matthew..."

"This is why I don't tell him about my boyfriends." Emily stated.

"What boyfriends?"

"Matt, calm down..." She replied. "I'm single."

"You better be!"

"I mean the last guy I dated was a complete jerk..."

"And this is why I tell you not to have boyfriends." Matt added.

"What did he do?" Harriet asked her.

"Argh, just being a guy..." She sighed. "I mean, I'm a fan of sex as much as the next girl..."

"You're a what?!" Matt exclaimed.

"But a quick fumble in the back seat of a car every time?" She continued.

"What did you just say?" Matt cut in before she could say any thing else

"Matt, I'm not a little kid any more."

"You're 18! Yes you are!" He insisted. "What happened to being a fan of Aaron Carter?!"

"Matt!" She hit his arm, blushing slightly and then looked at the others. "I wasn't a fan of Aaron Carter."

"Then why did you make me take you to three of his concerts."

"I was a kid then...I've grown up now." She shrugged.

"Apparently so..." He sighed.

"Come on, Matthew... you must have known it was going to happen at some point." Harriet said, a little amused by his reaction.

When they were dating, she had spent a lot of time with Emily and thought she was the sweetest girl ever. Matt adored her... There was a quite a big age gap between them but that has seemed to make them closer then most brothers and sisters. She knew that they had an older brother called David and she knew that Matt hardly ever saw him or talked to him but then he didn't keep in contact with any of his relative apart from Emily and his nephew Ethan and two nieces Anne and Beth.

Harriet actually liked seeing this side of him. Watching him with his little sister and his nieces and nephew made her realise what a great Dad he would be.

"Yes, I did know it was going to happen but doesn't mean I want to hear about her sex life!"

"Whose sex life?" Danny asked joining them.

"Mine." Emily replied.

"You told him, you've got a sex life? You think he's not crazy enough?"

"He brought it up."

"I did not!"

"I was only trying to reassure you that I'm not sleeping around with just any guy..."

"Oh, yeah...I feel so much better now knowing that your sleeping with special guys..." He said sarcastically. "I mean that is so much better then thinking that you're still a virgin."

She rolled her eyes. "Grow up."

"I hate to break up this lovely brother and sister moment but we're already late for the meeting with Jordan and Jack." Danny told Matt.

"Argh, fine...lets get this over with." Matt sighed and looked at Emily again. "You gonna be okay?"

"I told you, I'll be fine." She replied. "Maybe, I could go on that tour with Tom and Simon."

"Uh...we're...a little busy right now..." Tom said, looking at Matt nervously.

"Another time, maybe?" Simon suggested.

"Uh, okay..." She was cut off by the sound of her cell phone ringing.

"Not going to answer that?" Matt asked, after a few seconds of her just staring at the caller's ID.

"No." She cut the call off and shoved her cell back into her bag.

"Who was it?"

"No one important."

Matt raised an eyebrow, not believing her but then his cell start to ring. He pulled it out and looked at who was calling.

"Argh!" He practically threw the phone at Danny who just managed to catch it.

"You're parents?" Danny looked at him. "You know, that they can't do anything to you by you just holding the phone whilst they're calling you, right?"

"Why are they calling me?" Matt looked at Emily.

"I don't know..."

"Em, why are they calling me?" He repeated. "And how the hell did they get my number?!"

"You're their son... of course they have your number!"

"Okay, lets not have the parent/child conversation again." Matt replied. "Why are they calling me? I'm guessing that they are who you just hung up on..."

"Does it matter?" She sighed. "You'll be late for your meeting."

"I'm already late." He answered. "Why are they calling!?"

"Matt..."

"They didn't want you to come here, did they?" He predicted.

"They didn't know I was coming here..." She corrected.

"What?"

"I had enough... all they talk about is college and my future career...I'm sick of it."

"So you just packed a bag and got on a plane?!"

"You did it!"

"And look what happened there!"

"What? You becoming an Executive Producer of one of the best shows on TV?"

"No! I'm talking about being disowned by my own parents! Having them let everyone know that I was no longer part of the family!"

Everyone was silent; no one knew what to say.

"Matt, they didn't do that because you left to become a writer..." Emily broke the silence. "You know why..."

"Look, that doesn't matter." He interrupted. "You can't just get up and leave..."

"Why not?"

"Because..."

Her cell rang again. "It's David."

"Well, answer it." Matt told her. "He'll be more understanding."

"No." She hung up again. "He hates you just as much as they do."

"Great, thank you for that." Matt added sarcastically.

"This is what I couldn't stand! All the fighting!" She stated. "I can't do it any more."

Matt sighed when his cell rang again. "You know I've got to answer that now, don't you."

"Why?"

"Because you're there daughter and they deserve to know where you are and that you're safe." He replied, taking the phone from Danny.

"If you say so."

"Hello? Yeah, she's here...no, I didn't know... why would I lie? No, no you're right... I'm real busy here so I thought I'd save myself sometime and invite her out here so I can ruin her life...I mean, it would have been quite difficult doing it from a different state!" Matt said into the phone, the sarcasm so strong in his tone. "I thought I'd start by taking her to a few bars where we can both get drunk and high...then take her to a strip club...there's this one place I know that are hiring...I got contacts there so shouldn't be a problem getting her hired..."

He hung up the phone and hit out at the wall next to him.

"Was that David?" Emily asked quietly.

"No, it was your father..."

"Why can't you just say our father?" She asked. "Why did you have to say all of that to him?"

"I'm not going through this with you." He told her. "I've got a meeting."

"Why can't you just try and talk to them properly?" She asked. "I know that they said and done some horrible stuff to you but they're not as bad as they used to be..."

"You can say that because you're their little princess." He replied. "Look, I don't want you getting involved with this..."

"I'm already involved."

He let out a small laugh. "No your not... there is so much you don't know."

"Like what?"

"I told you, I'm not letting you get involved with this." He repeated. "Stay here with Harriet...I'll be back later."

Emily sighed and watched as he walked towards the door with Danny following.
