You Love Me, You Love Not

Jemma. When Emma's still with Sean while he's away in the army, we all know she was having second thoughts. What if he asks her to go to his and Jay's place to pack some stuff for him? What if Jay's there, also having second thoughts about Manny, and him & Emma find themselves in a familiar spot with another. They've done something bad, and now don't know what to do, and is it REALLY bad?

NEXT CHAPTER

Emma couldn't believe it, as in.. she was totally horrified actually. Her senior year was almost up and she just felt...well, not excited as everyone else, like what was suppose to be a memorable year of her life, was crap.

When did life get so dull? Could of been when Sean Cameron left to go to the army? Or when Manny got too busy to hangout and stared dating Jay. No hard feelings anymore with him though, actually Jay and Emma (though neither would ever say it out loud) were kinda, great friends. Friends who didn't bullshit around anything and gave another the reality check that either needed sometimes.

Jay also knew if he fucked around on Manny, he'd get the wrath of Emma Nelson, which was never pretty. If anyone knew how rattled up Emma could get, it was Jay. The two STILL bickered with another to this day.

And Emma had to put up with him anyways, Sean still had his stuff at Jays. She's been there only a few times when with Sean. It was kinda like a town house, pretty nice though I mean, she lived in a town house herself. She was proud these two 'bad boys' made something of themselves, or were *making*something of themselves in Sean's view. Jay was basically running the auto repair shop with Tony and Manny was a lucky girl, I mean, didn't have a boyfriend who wanted to be days away and in another country from her? I mean, how perfect. Emma sometimes felt jealous.

Stupid Sean.

Emma grumbled as she read the rest of her email on her computer screen in Snakes class and even pouted at it, clicking away at her mouse. Manny tilted her head and leaned over to read it too and gushed.

"Miss you like crazy, like always, love you, Sean." read Manny out loud, blushing herself and looking at Emma admiringly. Manny TOTALLY got it now, the thing with bad boys Emma seemed to have even though she was such a 'goody' in ways. Manny was lovin her own bad boy as well now, it was the vibe they had, the wit, the smirks and the charms. .

Emma gave a 'what?' annoyed look to Manny. What was so 'cute' about this email? About having a boyfriend millions of miles away who she barely talked to and said the same thing to each email.

I mean, she loved Sean, she did, but she was drifting away each week he was away. It's been months now and she didn't know anymore. Were they in love? Or did she just love him because it was Sean, the boy whose been through everything with her since the start, like Manny. . who she loved just as much! See? ... wasn't she suppose to love her 'soulmate' more than her best friend? Where was that breath taking, suffocating love people always talked about?

"Em! That's romantic." sighed Manny, and leaned back to her computer, rolling her eyes, "he's actually not scared to say I love you."

"Appose to..." Emma drifted, not understanding.

"Jay not saying it." Manny gritted her teeth, gazing through her computer screen, "Ever."

Emma looked around sort of oddly, "Really?" she figured they said it all the time, Jay and Manny were ALWAYS together when she was around.

Manny looked back at her, shrugging, "Why do you look surprised? It's Jay." she ran a hand through her long brown hair and huffed, "Just wish he'd say it already. It's been months of dating."

"Does he need to?" Emma challenged, nudging her best friends shoulder, "who could not fall in love with you?"

Manny smiled slightly, cornering her eyes, "That's true." she teased, "but I just..WANT him to say it, I guess I believe he does but even hearing it would be nice." she bittered.

Emma nodded, "Yea. But it is Jay. He's probably just afraid."

"I wonder if he said it to Alex before." Manny narrowed her eyes at Emma then launched onto her arm, "Could you ask him?"

"no way." snorted Emma, "Jay would know us too well."

"You're right." grumbled Manny to then eye the email from Sean, "He wants you to pack more clothes for him?"

"He makes me send him packages of his stuff each month." Emma rolled her eyes, "I'm wondering when he's just gonna move there forever."

"He's comin back, Em." Manny gave her a look like she was crazy, "He knows he has you here. This is his home, you're his Emma." she smiled romantically, "Like Jay is mine." She shook her head giggled, "Who would of thought I'd end up with Jay Hogart and us be totally faithful to another, right?"

"riiiight." Emma drifted off, trying not to roll her eyes but Manny smirked, seeing it.

"Sean will be back before you know it, Em." she assured and Emma just gave a weak smile, running her fingers through her hair.

She was kinda unsure..

She'd go pack the stuff he wanted this weekend though, that was fine.
