Emmett smiled proudly as he watched Elle get all the praise she deserved. She had just proven Brooke's innocence and he couldn't be happier for her. This was her case. Callahan did nothing. He didn't believe Brooke, Elle got the alibi. He didn't believe the pool boy was gay and we all know how that turned out. Elle deserved this. He stepped back to let Elle enjoy her moment. Before he knew it though, Elle was rushing towards him. He smiled and spun her around. He carefully set her down. He could of sworn their faces were getting closer and then, he saw Warner. Emmett pulled back. Warner is what Elle wanted. Now was her chance. He wasn't going to ruin that for her.

"I think…Somebody wants you." Emmett said, trying to act like he didn't care. Elle looked over her shoulder and saw Warner. "I'll, see you later." Emmett smiled at her before walking away.

When he left, he could of sworn he saw a look in Elle's eyes. A look he had never seen before. He thought that maybe she liked him back. He knew that was ridiculous. Next to somebody like Warner, Emmett was nothing. He walked sadly to his apartment. He tossed his tie off and plopped on his couch. He turned on the TV and all over the news was Elle's face. The press was eating up her story, first year law student who works her way up in her class and ended up winning a major murder trial. As he watched the news talk about Elle, his mind drifted to how their friendship has grown over the year. He was trying to pinpoint when he fell for Elle but he couldn't. It must have been around the time she took me shopping, Emmett thought.

His walk down memory lane came to an end when he heard a soft knocking on his door. He glanced at his watch and wondered who would be visiting him at this hour. He made his way to the door and opened it. He was surprised to see Elle standing there. He just stared at her confused and unable to speak at first.

"Elle…..What are you doing here?"

"Well I was at a party celebrating our victory and you weren't there so I figured me and you could. You know celebrate." Emmett saw the same look in Elle's eyes that she had at the court house. He wasn't sure what to make of it.

"Don't you want to celebrate with Warner?" He asked and looked down. He didn't want his worst fears to be confirmed.

"What does Warner have to do with anything?" Elle asked him confused. "And can I come in? The press have been stalking me all day and who knows how long these halls are safe." Elle smiled and made her way into his apartment.

Emmett shut the door and followed her. He was still confused about what was going on. He didn't understand why Elle was there but he would never turn her away. Elle was his weakness. He looked up and found her staring at him with an intense look. When he met her gaze she looked down.

"Hey, are you ok? Elle?" He could tell something was wrong and just wanted to make her smile again.

"I'm fine. Really." She smiled reassuringly at him. "I just have something to tell you."

"What is it? You know you can tell me." He sat on the coffee table in front of her.

"Why do you think I would want to celebrate with Warner?"

"Well, you know….After the trial I thought…." Emmett stammered.

"What? We just talked…Omigod! You think I got back together with him don't you?!" Elle exclaimed.

"I assumed. He is why you came here." Emmett looked down at his shoes.

"Maybe. But he is not why I stayed." Emmett could feel her staring at him. He lifted his head.

"What?" His brain couldn't process what she was saying. "You stayed cause you can do this I thought."

"You seriously are a butthead." Elle laughed.

"What?" Now Emmett was even more confused.

"Emmett, do I have to spell it out for you?!" She exclaimed. Emmett just stared at her and tried to put it all together. "Ugh! Come on. Lets go." Elle said and grabbed Emmett's hand, pulling up and dragging him out of the apartment.
