CHAPTER 2/BEHIND THESE HAZEL EYES.
Seems like yesterday
you were a part of me
I used to stand so tall
I used to be so strong
your arms around me so tight
Everytime, it felt so right
Unbreakable,like nothin'could go wrong
Now I can't breath
No, I can't sleep
I'm barely hanging on.
Behind these Hazel eyes, by Kelly Clarckson

After a few days Emma and Skylar's apratment was done and they were moved in, well not fully there was still some stuff that had to be unpacked. She planed on doing that over the next few days. For now she had to get ready for the first day of her classes, (A./N I screwed up in the first chapter I said Jay came home form his class, it was supposed to be a summer course that he was taking for extra credits, the university hasn't started till now.) Skylar was going to be in daycare till five that night because Emma had to work in the afternoon and her parents could't watch her till later, and her friends had plans so Sky had to stay late. Emma quicly got dressed in a pair of tight low rise jeans and a red tank top with a light weight short sleeve white pull over, over her tank top. She threw her long blonde hair up and rushed to Skylar's room to see her daughter sitting in her crib playing with her monkey. "Good morning my beautiful baby." she said picking her up and carrying her over to change her diaper. Emma quicly changed her daughter into a pair of jeans and a little white tee-shirt that said "Princess." in hot pink, with a heart on either side of the word, Paige had given that to her saying that Sky was their princess. Emma struggled to pull her soft brow hair into two pigtails and put on a pair of gray and pink converse sneakers.
After breakfeast Emma and Skylar left the apartment and headed to daycare and the school. When she arrived at the university, Emma stood looking up at the building. She had finally made it here, she promised herself when she got pregnant that no matter what nothing was going to stop her from gettign here and it didn't she was here and she was a great mom. She took a deep breath and began to walk to her first class, journalism.
Jay had just pulled up to the university and was ready to start another year here, he was doing good and loved his classes, that was the best thing about being here, he got to pick the things he was interested in. With a smile on his face he walked towards his class ready for anything that this year was going to throw at him. He had no idea that this year was going to throw alot at him, probably more than he can handel. But still with a smile on his face he walked towards his first class: Journalsim. As he walked into class he looked around him and noticed some people that he had met the year before and some new people, he sat down and talked with his friend Tommy. He looked away for a second but looked back over when he heard Tommy let out a low whistle, "What man? What are whistling at?" Tommy smirked and pointed to a girl that was sitting just two rows infront of them, "Her man, the blonde." Jay looked at her, she looked really familer to him. "Man she is hot and she's a freshman too that means she's up for grabs." Tommy was still smirking looking between the girl and Jay. "Man you think every girl is up for grabs." Jay wasn't listening to his friend anymore he was staring at the girl but he couldn't really place her. Till she turned and he saw her face: it was Emma Nelson.
Jat was shock to say the least, it had been more than two years and here she was only a few feet away form him. She was still beautiful to him her still long blonde hair had more highlights in it making it a bit of a deeper blonde and it was pulled back and he noticed that on the small of her back she had another tattoo. It was a fairy sitting on a blue crestent moon, she had white silver hair and was naked except for a few strands of blue fabric covering her. Jay came out of his shcok a little and was about to get to see her but the door slamed and class started, normaly he wouldn't care but Emma peobably would. 'After class I'm going to talk to her.' he thought while sitting back in his chair and ignoring the looks his friend was giving him.
When the class let out Jay grabbed his stuff and chased after Emma, she had already left the class. But when he got into the hall he lost her in the sea of people. "Damnit!" he said hitting his fist into the wall. Tommy came up to him and looked at him funny, "Man I've never seen you this weirded out over a girl what's so special about her?" Jay looked at his friend "That was Emma Nelson." Tommy was a litltle shocked JAy had told him a little bit about her. How they had been togeather and how she just left him with out so much as a good-bye. With out knowing it she had left Jay a broken man. "So what are you going to do?" Jay thought for a minute before answering "talk to her I guess I mean I want to find out why she left. Man she probably won't even talk to me." he said as the two walked to another part of campus for there next class. "Why not you said that you guys were head over heals in love with each other in high school?" Jay looked down as the memories from that time came back. How much he hurt her and the look on her face that day and the night she told him that it was over. "We were or I'm still in love with her but I really messed up and we had a bad break up, and she left town. This is the first time I've seen her in years." "What did you do that was so bad?" Tommy asked when they go to class. "Broke her heart." was all Jay said as class started.
Emma was finished with her classes for the day and was walking to her car so she could go to work. She was about to get in the car when some one grabbed her arm and spun her around to face them. Her eyes went wide when she saw who was infront of her, it was none other than Jay Hogart himself. "Hey Emma." he said it like he had just seen he yesterday instead of years ago. Emma was at a lost for words she couldn't get words to come out of her mouth and she was pretty sure she looked like a morron just standiong there her arm in his grasp and staring at him. "He...Hey Jay." Jay just got right to the point once she had spoken. "We need to talk Em." Emmastarted to painc if they talked then she would have to tell him about Skylar and she wanted to avoid that as much as she could. "No Jay no we don't." she said gettign her arm away form him and turing back to her car.
Jay wasn;'t having that he grabbed her again but not eonught to hurt her he would never hurt her again, and never physically. He pinned her against the car with his body and looke straight into her eyes. He saw the deep passion, they held. But he also saw hurt, and longing, but he alson saw regret. He wasn't sure why regret,'Maybe she regrets leaving without saying good bye." "Yes Emma we have a lot to talk about. And we will you can't run from me again." Emma looked down and then back up at him trying to hide the feelings she still had for him. "I...I have to go..to work." she gentaly pushed him away and got into her car and drove off.
Jay got back to his and Sean's apartment and called out to his best friend. "SEAN!!" Sean came out of his room "What's up why are you yelling?" "because when I was in my journalism class, some one caught the eye of my friend Tommy." Jay said sitting down on the couch, Sean went and sat across form him "Yea so some chick caught his eye every girl does." "The girl was Emma Nelson." Sean didn't look shocked like Jay thought he would instead he looked down and had a guilty look on his face. "Sean why are you looking like your mother caught you jerking off or something?" "um...I kinda knew she was back home." he said so quietly JAy wasn't sure he heard him. "you knew she was home, why didn't you tell me?!" Jay yelled and stodd up over his friend. "Because of this man and she didn't want me telling you, you know Em she has to do things when she wants to not when some one tells her."
"your right but come on you could of told me." Sean didn't know waht he was doing but he had to end this stupidity that Emma had delt with but he wasn't going to come right out and say 'Jay you have a daughter' "Look Jay just go and cool off for awhile and then go talk to her. Here." Sean said and turned and went into his room. When he came out he hda a slip of paprer that he handed to Jay. "Here this is her new address but do me a favor, just cool off and get your thoughts straight before you go over there an make an ass out of yourself." Jay nooded and grabbed his keys before leaving the apartment. Once he was gone Sean picked up the phone and called Emma he wa going to take Skylar for awhile, they had to talk before he found Skylar. First Emma had to tell him and then explain why she kept it form him, the he could finally meet her father. 'Please don't be mad Em, I'm doing this for you and Sky.' he thougth as he dialed
Skylar had just been picked up by Sean, he had said he was taking her because Emma needed to finishe up her unpacking but Emma knew it was something else but she wasn't going to get it out of him. So she was in her den puttign things on the shelf, she came across a pink photo album with a picture of Skylar on the cover it was from when she was first born. And her name was on the bottom. Emma sat down and started to look through it, there were so many pictures already. 'I have to stop before I run out of room.' she thought colsing the book and placing it on the table and going into her kitchen to unpack in there. She was putting glasses away in the cabinets when some one knocked on the door. She hoped off the counter and went to answer door, when she opened it she thought it would be Paige or some one, but it was JAy standing there with the same look he had this afternoon.
"What...Waht are you doing here?" she asked still shokced to see him again. "I told you we had to talk Em and we're goign to now." he said forcing his way into the apartment. "Okay well talk." she said crossing her arms over her chest and trying to look as strong as possible even though she was goign weak in the knees just like back in high school. "Okay fin I'll get right to the poin. Whyt did you leave Emma?" he said in a slightly angry tone and crossing his arms. "That is my buissness JAy not yours." "It is my buissness when the women I love leaves and then comes back after years jsut like somthing ever happened. Just tell me why." his tome had softened a tiny bit but not by much. Emma was about to say something whenthe phoen rang, it was off in her room so she looked at himand then down the hall. "Just hold on a minute okay." she said and left the room.
Jay looked around the room and walked further into the den and knew that Emma and Paige had done this place, themselves. The room was painted a warm light blue color and the sofa was a bit darker than the walls. There was a fireplace and a mantal,made of brick. He walked over and saw a few pictures of Emma and her friedns and family. He smiled at a picture of her Paige, Hazel, Ashley, and Ellie togeather. They were sittign on Emma's parents pourch on the swing smiling, he had missed her smile so much he hda just missed her period. He turned and sat down on the couch and saw a pink photo album sittign there, picking it up he looked at the cover. He had a confused look on his face as he gazed at the picture of the tiny baby on the cover. All of a sudden his eyes became wide when he noticed the writting under the picuter: Skylar Paige Hogart. 'What the fuck is this!!!!!' he thought. 'Is she mine?!. she has to be?!' he thought while flipping through the book, as the picuters of the baby getting older he saw she looked like him. Anger started to rise in hism 'How could she do this to me!!' he thought slambing the book shut and went to find Emma.
She was sittign on he bed, she had just hung up with her mom, and was trying to work up ther nerve to go talk to Jay. 'God I still love him how am I going to do this she thought gettign up, while reachign for the door it slamed open and there stood JAy with anger on hsi face and Sky's baby book in his hand. He knew know. "WHAT IS THIS EMMA!!" he yelled at her, "She's your daughter." she told him calmly, there was no point in lying now. "My daughter, yea I kinda got that when I read her name. Why the fuck didn't you tell me about her!!??" he yelled. "Jay stop yelling!!" "I'll stop yelling when you tell me the truth." "I'm trying but you won't shut up!" he was quiet after she yelled and he had to take a few breaths. "I didn't tell you because you hurt me and I wanted to hurt you back." "Thats some reason Em." he said sarcasticly. "Well at the time I thought it was fine. You hurt me so much you broke my heart so I wanted to hurt you, so I took away something away that I knew you would love more than life it's self." "Well Em you can realx now you hurt me, you took away not only my heart when you left you took away my little girl. I don't want to see you right now but damit I want to see my daughter." he was still angry as hell but he wasn't going to let his baby live with out a father. "She;s not here she's with a friend." "Fine I'll see hner this weekend." he turned to leave when he stoped and looked back at her. "I hate you so much right now." he said lookignher straight in the eye before leaving her,
Emma fell to the floor when she heard the door slam, he ahted her and she only herself to blame. 'Sean was right I made a huge mistake. Gid I still love him and now he hates me. Why did I have to do this' she thought as she cried to herself. It hurt to breath, her chest was tight and she feklt her heart break all over again and this time it was her fault.
Here I am, once again
I'm torn into pieces
Can't deny it, can't pretend
Just thought you were the one
Broken up, deep inside
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes.
Behind theses hazel eyes-Kelly Clarkson.
