Chapter 3: Part 1

Emily took notice of Henry looking disheveled, making her smirk knowingly. "Oh, Henry you look so messy" he blushed at her comment. "Oh did you and Eileen..." she watches his blush deepen and he coughed, "Can we just not talk about this, Em'?" he begs her.

She snickers, 'Yeah, sure. Pray tell what is this about?" she takes a seat in her apartment. Henry takes a seat next to her, his concern heavy in his stare. "Emily...Sister, we are worried about you being near Nick, we - well Everybody me, including Eileen and I..even Walter doesn't trust Nick's intentions" his words struck a cord in her swelling chest. 'Walter...is concerned about me?' she couldn't stop the smile forming. Even if he kissed her months ago, it didn't really show his more keen interest in her. Her trust issues are more appearing than months ago.

Henry had a brief expression that played, he knew why she was smiling and his shock didn't catch her attention. "Emily...Emily!" he says slightly raises his voice a notch, snapping her out of her thoughts.

"Oh, sorry. I was lost in thought" she laughs in embarrassment. "It seemed like that" Henry murmurs, mostly to himself than her.

Emily tilts her head, unable to hear what he said. "Can you repeat that, bro?" she asks in a hush whisper.

"We all are having a little birthday party downstairs for your celebration of your twentieth" he tells her as he smiles at her affectionately to her, like a brotherly sort of way.

Emily cheers as she jumps up from her couch and moves her arms and shoulders like she's dancing in a rave party. Henry wonders when and where did she learn this type of odd dance.

"yeah, whoohoo! A party, I can't wait! I sure hope there'll be music too!" she exclaims as she pumps her hands in the air moving from the couch and kicks the air and does a mimic of air guitar. "C'mon Henry, join me!" she pulls him from the couch and away from the coffee table.

"Dance!" she orders him, he gives her a look of disbelief and tries a mock mimic of her dance. She rolls her eyes, his dance looks more like a stiff board or a penguin waddling.

She scowls, "No! Relax and let out the wild best within!" she presses her finder in to his chest. He lets out an exasperated sigh. Her eyes lit up in amusement as she steps back to watch him. "Well, I guess I gotta help"

~FF~

After several long exasperating minutes that drags in to an hour. Emily successfully conquered her mini-quest. She cannot wait for the others' to see him now. He'll surely knock their skins or as well as their socks if they have any. Sure Henry had some good moves, but they had more guidance to express himself though the ways and rhymes and moves by the music.

They made their way down the lounge, completely composed except for Emily, she's skipping on her way despite falling down the stairs multiple times and end cussing at the stairs, it it was real and not inanimate it would end up crying from her graphic profanity.

"Stupid stairs," she grumbles sourly, "Always making me trip" she shakes her head and contamination skipping to their destination.

"Be careful, you might lose an arm" Henry says cracking a smile, his hard effort trying to hide it is slowly fading.

"I shall make you smile, thy burning itch to, is slowly failing" she moves her hand in front of her face, then used both her hands in front of her face, changing her facial expression each time she moves her hands in front of her face. Henry cracks a smile, "Damn it, Emily. You're such a dork!" he exclaims.

She laughs whilst shrugging. "I know it and I'm proud, got it memorized, bro? Good" she grins childishly. "Beep Beep, coming through!" she shouts, pushing aside the other victims that weren't truly explained in the game. There was two little kids, did you know? Oh well, who cares. She gave up caring when she was forcefully took upon.

A song plays on the radio as she begged Walter to let happen, oddly he did allow that. Her crush on him is bad and it drives her crazy. Emily sings along with "I'm Alive" by The Big Bang.

Everybody stares at her in shock, the passion she threw in made everyone's eyes water, even if they didn't understand. The emotion she held made them all feel shivers that shook through their bodies and bones.

Finishing the song, she gestures for Henry to do what he does best at, and its not the kind of dancing that you're used too Eileen lets out a surprised gasp as he holds out his hand gently, "May I take this dance?"

"Y-yeah" she blushes, he gives her a small smile and his expression soft towards her. She places her hand in his.

Emily feels the aching tug of jealousy in her heart, its not about their relationship. It's just that she wishes she'll find that true love like that...one day, if ever.

The song play on the radio plays softly, Across The Sky by Emilie Autumn played. The song so haunting and enchanting, she finishes the song and held her head down, her eyes lingering on Nick then Walter for a longer minute, he makes eye contact with her and she looks away embarrassed. What's left of her heart's hammering in her chest, its loud enough that she can feel and heart it in her ears. "Fuck" she curses under her breath.

Nick's jaw muscles twitch, "So Emily, you have a enchanting voice, where did you learn to sing like that?" he twists his lips up to a smile that doesn't seem to fit his face, he drops it as soon as she sees it.
