This story takes place right where season 4 left off, but ofcourse with minor additions. Such as; Emma, she got a job at a new clothes boutique called Sidney's that opened up next door to the Dot Grill. And she is going out with Chester, since they are neighbors they got to talking more and eventually starting crushing on eachother. Jay on the otherhand, is scarred for life. He hasn't gotten any girlfriends since the incident. He's doing okay though, he still works at the Dot Grill too.

Emma had been working at Got Sidney's for just a week. She loved it, she got 25 discounts and got to give Sidney, the designer ideas for new things. There was one thing bugging her though, Jay. He worked at the Dot Grill now. He worked a lot of hours too. She saw him all the time on her breaks and before and after work. She never made eye contact with him and he kept his head low. She almost felt bad for him but wasn't about to do anything about it.

After work she was heading out when it started to rain.

"Shit!"She said aloud.

She went back inside and tried to call her mom but no body was home. "Damn" She thought thinking of a way to not have to walk to long walk home in the rain. She decided to sit and wait for it to pass on but instead it started to rain harder. She decided to go to the Dot & see if they had The Dot umbrellas since they had t shirts and stuff with the name on it.

She walked in and saw no body but the girl with the orange dreadlocks in there.

"Hi, do you guys sell umbrellas? Because I know that you sell t shirts and things with the logo.."

"Nope. Just t shirts, hats, windbreakers." The girl replied annoyed.

"Thanks anyways."

She sat down. "Will it ever stop raining?" She thought looking at a menu. She just decided to get it over with and walk. She got up and when she got to the door she heard Jay's voice. She turned around and saw him saying goodbye and heading out. She thought, "God I wish I could ask him for a ride." She knew that was hopeless and walked out the door not turning to see if Jay was right behind her by then. But he was. He got into his car and saw her start to walk in the pouring rain. "It's the least I could do...I know this won't make up for me getting her sick but it's pouring and she's in a t shirt for God sakes." He said to himself pulling up to her. When she heard his car so close to her she got a nervous feeling in her stomach.

"You look like you could use a ride. " He said it pretty kindly, but she didn't want anything from him, shit he'd given her enough.

"I'm fine. " She looked directly into his eyes when she said it, and she said it calmy, well as calm as she could. She was shivering and nervous as hell for no reason..well there was a reason, it was Jay but she wasn't about to admit that to herself.

"Don't be so stubborn, come on it's the least I could do, I know it won't make up for anything, and I'm not trying to anyways, it's just pouring rain and you are stuck walking in it. But if you really would rather be soaked and sick rather than take a ride from..me, then fine. " He had a feeling she'd still say no but this was worth a shot. She on the other hand didn't want to be near him but she almost had no choice. She walked around and got in. The sense of familarity being his car made her think back. She really had liked Jay, she just had a strange way of showing it, and was too caught up in the moment to be real. Oh well, that's the past she thought to herself.

"Good decision"
"Thanks." She didn't know how to act around him...at all.

They drove in silence to her house, he knew where she lived so there was no need to tell him. When they got to her house she almost thought about asking him in, but she didn't want him to get the wrong idea, so she just got out and walked in the house without even saying goodbye.

"Ok..." He drove off puzzled by her weird exit. He laughed to himself. "I guess I'm a pig or something, she didn't even say bye!" Screw it. He pulled out his bottle of brandy and took a swig. "Better than sex..yeah right!"
