Jay furiously checked Emma's body for a pulse, after searching he finally found a faint pulse and felt a tinge of hope left for his Emma. Jay whipped his cell phone out and dialed 911, but hung up knowing the cops asked too many questions and Emma could be dead by the time a ambulance came. He swiftly took Emma in his arms and ran to his car and set her down in the passenger seat. Jay drove at top speed down to the hospital.

"Hey Emma, remember when I gave you a STD?" Jay said stuttering. He had to find a way to make her wake up.

"Mm…" She mumbled so softly.

"And all the times we had at the ravine?"

"Jay?" She said weakly. So she's alive, that's a plus.

Holy shit I'm alive. Not really, I feel myself slipping away but I hear someone's voice, Jay? I must be dead.

"Yeah Greenpeace, Jay Hogart, you know we hooked up all the time!"

"Pfft…" She mumbled.

"Stay with me ok? You can make it, I know" Jay said. No reply. She's slipping away once again.

Whoa bright light, where'd Jay go?

Jay sped through red lights, and probably caused some traffic but hello! Someone was dying in his passenger seat what was he supposed wait for the green lights when Emma was slipping into the white light?

"Emma…?" Jay said.

"Hm?"

"You're bleeding on my seats" He chuckled nervously. She grinned lightly, still hope.

Jay slammed his breaks at the hospital and ran to carry Emma in. A young nurse saw this and pressed some button meaning there was an emergency. The nurse, whose tag read Janet, pushed a wheelchair over and Jay set Emma in and stayed by her side. While Emma was faintly being wheeled off, another nurse stopped Jay and asked for Emma's information.

"Do you know anything about this girl?" The male nurse said. Jay couldn't help but laugh, woman are supposed to be nurses! Ah that was a bit sexist.

"Yeah, her names Emma Nelson" Jay said in his normal voice.

"Do you know what happened?" Jay told the guy all of the events that happened, who he thinks did it and why.

"Now are you her boyfriend or her family...?" The nurse said before finishing up.

"Uhh fiancé…" Jay said unsure, he wanted to make sure he was the one that got all of her updates.

"Ah…I'll be sure to let you know any updates about her, use the phone if you want" And with that the nurse named Kelly left. Turns out he wasn't a nurse, just a volunteer getting extra credit so he can graduate; obviously Jay would know nothing about that. Jay walked slowly to the phone, not knowing who to call really, but decided to call the house. It rang three times; he was surprised if anyone would pick up, Manny answered.

"Manny?" Jay said.

"Jay? What do you want?" She said harshly.

"Calm yourself Slutos, Emma's in the hospital"

"What?! Your lieing! You're probably at the ravine right now, with her" Manny knew all about Jay and Emma's past, she also knew Emma's feelings for Jay. She grew to be ok with the sound of Jay's name, just not Jay.

"Fine but when you can't find Emma, meet me at Souris Hospital"

"You're such an idiot Jay"

"Oh and when you don't find her, and you want to check out the hospital just to check if I am lying, don't bring Sean"

"Why not? He's her boyfriend!" Manny exclaimed.

"Just don't" Click. The dial tone rung in Manny's ears, her jaw dropped as she went looking for Emma. But there was no Emma.

"Sean, where's Emma?" She said to Sean who was obviously very drunk right now.

"Dunnoo" Sean slurred out. Manny could tell he didn't care and really didn't know.

"O…Kay" Manny said and thought to herself was she was the only sober one here? Manny figured JT and Liberty probably knew where Emma was.

"JT!" Manny trotted to him.

"Yes Miss Santos?"

"Where's Emma?" Manny said.

"Ah well long story short, she got awfully drunk, Jay came to me to ask the same question, told her she was outside, he disappeared and never came back."

"Lovely" Manny mumbled and ran to find Sean. Obviously he couldn't drive right now so she was going to drive. She found Sean and Elli sitting on a table together. Ellie was sober from the looks of it and Sean was spilling his life story to her.

"Sean, keys?" Manny insisted.

"Uh, no Manny" Manny jumped on the table and grabbed his keys from his pockets. Once she grabbed the keys she ran off only to be stopped by Ellie.

"Playing Grand Theft Auto?" Ellie said.

"Sure!" Manny didn't care what Ellie thought of her.

"Nice, why? Is it because of Emma or something?"

"Ellie! I don't like you, leave me be ok?" Manny stormed out but Ellie followed her.

"Let me come with you" Ellie said. Manny could feel the anger pulsing through her.

"Fine!" Manny found Sean's car but got caught in some sticky substance.

"Oh my god" Manny said to herself and started to cry, this was where Emma must have got stabbed, or worse shot. Manny climbed into the car and so did Ellie. She furiously started the car and drove off fast.

"So what are we doing Santos?"

"More like what are you doing here, with me, is the better question don't you think?" Manny snapped.

"Because I have nothing better to do and I don't trust you to drive Sean's car by yourself"

"Well I'm driving it just fine, doesn't take a genius"

"Sorry so uhh where are we going?" Ellie said after a moment of silence.

"Hospital"

"Why? Are you pregnant?" Ellie said almost like she was concerned.

"Ellie! It's two in the morning and I'm going to get a pregnancy test, smart right!"

"Ok then why?"

"Emma" Manny said sadly.

"Another STD?"

"You know, you can get out whenever"

"I'm sorry again" Ellie said.

"So…Is Emma ok?" Ellie said.

"No, Jay took her to the hospital after she got stabbed or something, maybe shot I don't know!" Manny saw the hospital and swung into the parking lot, not caring if she was on the lines and jumped out with Ellie trailing behind. They both walked into the waiting room and saw Jay.

"Jay! Where's Emma?"

"Surgery" Jay said dully and sat down.

"Shouldn't Sean know about this? He is her boyfriend and he does really love her" Ellie said. Manny scolded Ellie with her eyes. Jay looked up hurt. No one has really ever seen Jay look hurt.

"No Ellie" Manny said. She did somewhat know of Jay's feelings and she did want Emma and Jay to be together.

"Well I am" Ellie said and got up, Manny took off after her but Jay grabbed her arm.

"Manny, its ok I was putting the facts together and I don't think Emma wants me"

"Uh yeah she does Jay" Manny stated.

"Hmm well it won't change; Sean has always come out as the hero"

"Jay! Stop being so mopey"

"I can be mopey if I want to"

"Fine just…don't give up on Emma"

"Alright then Dr. Phil"

Manny hastily flipped through a magazine, she was flustered and angry so she wasn't even reading.

"I couldn't get a hold of Sean, he must be dyeing not knowing where Emma is" Ellie said. Jay rolled his eyes and leaned back in his chair.

Yeah I'm sure he really cares, if he did why I was the one taking his girlfriend. Excuse me, ex girlfriend to the emergency room? Why was I the one carrying her into my car? Watching her bleed, slowly slip away. My god this is not my night.

"Well Ellie as you can see, no one cares" Manny snapped.

"Sorry Manny but he does really love her" Ellie said calmly.

"Sure Ellie think what you want"

God please make Ellie shut up and oh could you possibly make it so Emma lives?

"Calm down" Jay moaned and rolled over. He pulled his hat down over his eyes. He wasn't going to sleep, just shut his eyes and relax, but that was impossible.

"Why don't you go home Jay?" Ellie suggested.

"Why don't you?"

"Oh that's a good comeback" Ellie huffed.

"Will you ever shut up?" Jay said.

"Nope" Ellie said and walked off to who knows where. Manny decided to call Emma's parents and tell them what happened.

"Hello?" A tired sounding Snake said.

"Snake its Manny uhh…I don't know how to tell you this…but first are you awake?"

"Enough, what is it Manny?"

"Emma's in the hospital"

"Repeat?"

"Emma is in the hospital" There was rumbling in the background, like Spike was getting up.

"Manny?" Spike asked.

"Hi Spike"

"What's this about Emma and a hospital?"

"She got stabbed Spike!" Manny said impatiently.

"Ok um…I'll be there soon, call me with any updates please!" Spike said. She sounded half asleep and panicked, since it was only three in the morning. Manny hung up the phone and took a seat next to Jay.

"Jay…Who did this..?"

"Johnny and Drake those Lakehurst students" Jay groaned.

"Drake was the red head trying to dance with her, and Johnny was the one she was dancing all dirty with right?" Manny asked slowly.

"Mhm" Jay said ending their conversation. Jay leaned down in the hospital chair and his head rested lazily tilting backwards. Manny decided not to interrupt but instead went to go ask for any updates on Emma. She walked carefully to the front desk, scared about the news that she might hear.

"Hi um…I'm Emma Nelson's friend…" Manny hinted as she talked to Kelly, the volunteer working at the front desk.

"She's undergoing surgery right now"

"What happened to her?"

"Well, she was stabbed in her kidneys plus she had alcohol poisoning" Kelly stated.

"Is she going to live?" Manny said.

"I can't give that kind of information out to anyone but family or that guy" Kelly pointed to Jay "Her fiancé or whatever" Manny rolled her eyes and walked back to her seat next to Jay.

"Hey Jay, you didn't tell me you were Emma's fiancé!" Manny hit him on the shoulder and whispered to him angrily. Jay jumped just a little bit and squeezed his eyes open.

"It was a spur of the moment decision"

"Nice Jay, Emma's parents will be here soon, what are you going to say?"

"The truth now shush" Jay said coolly and turned his body over, buckling his knees underneath him. After over twenty minutes of pure silence, Jay felt hungry and kind of sick. He got up and just walked off leaving Manny by herself.

"Where are you going?" Manny said sleepily.

"Just to eat, go back to sleep" Jay said softly. He wandered through many halls before actually finding the cafeteria, but when he got there he wasn't all that hungry anymore. So he decided to find Emma's room. Knowing she probably wasn't going to be there, he wasn't going to search to long. Jay peaked through a bunch of old people's windows before finding Emma's room. There she was, heavily drugged and with a bunch of needles and tubes in her. Usually Jay would have knocked this door down but he couldn't.

Don't go in, you'll get caught, oh hell with it. No, don't.

Jay decided against it and walked to the bathroom. He was so out of it at the moment that it wasn't even funny. All he could do was think about Emma. That stupid blonde who causes him so much pain, yet he can't pull away, he can't just turn away when she's there. He glanced at his clothing and face. He had Emma's blood on his shirt and pants, his eyes were dark and disorientated and he just flat out looked tired.

Next all Jay could do was go back and sit next to Manny. Oh the fun in that. He walked lazily down the hall until he bashed into a red haired girl. Ellie?

"Ellie?" Jay said confused.

"Huh?" She said. It was Ellie.

"Oh Jay…Hi" She said breathlessly.

"Yeah hey" Jay and walked off. Ellie followed.

"How's Emma?"

"Well smart one she's in the hospital not that good" Jay said matter a fact idly.

"Any updates?"

"Nope" Jay said popping the 'p' and staring down at her.

"We should get back" Ellie said rushed.

"Yeah" They walked lazily and quietly down the hallway. No one even hinted they wanted a conversation. Awkward much? Jay heard Manny blabbing on the phone.

"Yes that's the address, uh Emma Nelson, out of control party, stabbed in the kidneys, alright" And she hung up.

"What was that about?" Jay asked Manny as they sat down.

"Hard to explain, wake me up if something happens" Manny says as she lies down on a plastic looking couch-bench thing. She falls asleep fast. Manny surprisingly had nothing to drink so on the plus side she wouldn't have a hangover. Two full hours passed and Jay was awake with Ellie and Manny both sleeping on his left side and a stack of magazines on his right. A worried looking Spike and Snake came rushing in. Obviously Jay only knew who Snake was and just guessed the female was 'Spike' the one who would kill Emma if she knew what she had been doing up till just a few months ago.

"Were Emma Nelsons parents" The woman said breathlessly. Snake put an arm on the woman's lower back as the nurse, named Janet, instructed them to please sit down. Snake hadn't noticed Jay, Manny and Ellie there but when he did he went to Jay, and Jay had to stand up.

"Jay, what's going on?" Snake begged.

"Uh sit down" Jay said, he was never the one to break bad news. Manny should be doing this but ok, whatever Jay thought.

Jay explained the entire story, of course leaving his feelings out and the commentary in the car on the way here. If this had been Sean, there would be a crying fest but Spike just looked concerned and kind of comforted by Jay. Snake stayed in shocked. Spike started to cry and Snake held her. Jay decided it was time for him to go back to sitting down, so he walked back to his chair.

"Jay" Spike said as she pushed Snake off to talk to him.

"Yeah?"

"Why isn't Sean here?" Spike said bewildered.

"Err…They broke up tonight"

"Why tonight? Was there like a special occasion?"

"You could say that"

"Tell me" Spike demanded. Jay put his hands up in surrender and strolled into a chair away from Manny, Ellie and Snake.

"There was a party…I'm sure it's cleared now but uh…it was huge"

"WHAT?!"

"I'm sorry" Jay said kind of freaked out.

"Archie!" Spike called and Snake came over.

"Go to the house, there was a party there, take Jay with you" Spike said.

"Uhh ok" Snake agreed and Jay got up behind him. Jay didn't want to go; he wanted to know how Emma was doing, if she lived. He felt his heart go to his gut.

Come on! Why do I have to go to Emma's house with Emma's dad? Awkward…

Jay and Snake got in the car. It was Jay's car so obviously Jay felt insecure about having a teacher in his car, with him, alone. Jay shuddered mentally and started the engine. Snake was also nervous, for one driving with a high school dropout, who was one of his worst students. For two because Emma was in the hospital, possibly dead by now. Snake also shuddered a little. Both of the guys had no clue what to say to one another so they drove in near silence until Jay was speeding over the speed limit.

"Whoa! Slow down!" Snake over exaggerated.

"Calm down I'm only going sixty-two" Jay groaned as he let off the gas pedal just a little.

"You could get into an accident" Snake protested as he stared straight ahead.

"Pfft shark attacks are more common" Jay stated matter a factly.

"It's the other way around" Snake said humorously.

Not wanting to make Snake think he's a complete moron he slowed down to only forty-five. Jay felt like such an old woman.

"Now is this that bad?" Snake said.

"Not at all, I should drive like this more often" Jay said with some sarcasm.

Ah this is truly hell.

Jay pulled onto the curb and shut the engine off. The sun was peeking over the top of Emma's house and the neighbor's house and it blasted into Jay's eyes so he flipped his sunglasses over his eyes for a few moments before shutting the door. Jay turned around and looked down the street. A few cops were around the area. So, the word must be out. Snake was walking to the house and Jay followed behind. Snake opened the door fast, ready to see a terrible mess. Jay knew what would be behind the door.

"Wow…" Snake said in a daze as he saw the mess. Glass was shattered everywhere, some kids were passed out, beer cans were everywhere. At least the stereo is off now. Jay knew all of the kids. Spinner was on the couch between two trampy blondes, Paige and Alex were huddled on a chair and Sean was walking up the stairs in his boxers dragging a brunette with blonde frosted hair.

"Nice Sean" Jay mumbled.

"You were good, maybe come back to my place later tonight?" Sean said. Not noticing Jay standing there. Snake was off shaking some kids awake across the room and didn't notice the whole Sean thing.

Jay just stood around while Sean kissed the brunettes cheek and smacked her butt, and she giggled. Why would he want a girl like that when a girl like Emma came running to him practically?
