Emma smiled at the memory until Jay spoke, "Okay Em, let's talk because I think I can do this now and probably never again."

"Okay, Jay I love you and don't forget that for a second but I don't know if staying with you for long is a good idea," Emma said sighing a little.

Jay pursed his lips, "Em, I honestly do not know what you are worried about. Do you love me enough to be with me forever?"

Emma looked over at him, "Yes I do, but-"

Jay interrupted, "If we are together forever does that mean that we will live together some day?"

She nodded and tucked some hair behind her ear. He continued, "Okay so what is the problem with you staying here?"

Emma sighed and shrugged, "You make it hard to argue, but I feel like we are too young to be doing this."

Jay laughed, "We love each other and want to be together so age doesn't matter."

Emma sighed and looked down at her hands, "You make it sound so easy. What happens when we start fighting and getting on each others nerves?"

Jay shrugged as if it was no big thing, "Then you spend a weekend at Manny's or your mom's or somewhere else but then you come back."

Emma nodded, "You just have all this figured out don't you."

Jay chuckled, "What do you think I did all morning? Think about Sean and how he was working 10 feet away from me?"

Emma slid closer to Jay and he put an arm around her to bring her close. She kissed him and let her hand slide through his hair. She should stay here, he wanted her here and she was happy.

She didn't worry about Snake coming by and hitting her. Her mother had told her he was away getting help but the house was still his. Her and Jack moved into an apartment. Emma knew she was staying and Jay was right, if they started arguing she would spend a weekend away and then come back.

She broke away and sighed, "Yeah, okay I'll stay but you have to tell me when I'm getting annoying so things don't get really bad between us. I can't lose you Jay."

He let himself breathe for the first time since arriving home, "Promise. I love you, I'm so glad your staying. I would have worried about you way too much if you weren't staying here."

She smiled and said quietly, "The way you are so protective of me is kind of sexy."

He looked at her with a smirk, "Oh yeah?" She nodded and pressed her lips to his. They laid down on the couch and continued kissing. He slid his hand up her shirt and pulled it over her head.

They both knew they should be going back to Tony's but neither one stopped. Jay's shirt quickly followed on the ground. Jay kissed his way down her stomach and back up while unbuckling her shorts. The shorts and underwear came off together in one slick movement. Her bra soon followed his pants and boxers. She stoked his long member as he teased her with his talented fingers.

"Jay," she gasped. She could not wait any longer. She needed him now. He smirked, "What Em?"

"Please," she sucked in a shaky breath.

"Please what Emma?" he said smirking. He just wanted to hear her say it.

She grabbed a fistful of his hair and looked him dead in the eye, "Fuck me."

He didn't need to be told twice. He slid in and pounded quickly. Her perfectly manicured fingernails scratching down his back over and over again. She was seeing stars as she felt her walls tighten up.

"Oh my god Emma," Jay whispered huskily when she tightened. His breath in her ear sent her over the edge. The climaxed together and collapsed onto the couch with sighs.

"That was better than last night," Jay admitted quietly.

She laughed, "I'm not even sure how last night happened. You left me at the Dot and I came to get my stuff. You came home and called me then somehow we ended up in bed. You must have real skills Hogart for that to happen."

He smirked, "I told you I went to the shop to cool off but I ended up walking the halls of Degrassi. It reminded me of all the good memories we have there. Then I walked by Simpson's classroom and I got angry again and left. I ended up here and had to call you to come home. It was too quiet around here without you and seeing his classroom reminded me I still need to keep you away from him."

Emma laid in his strong arms and sighed, "When you called me and found out I was still here I was kind of thankful. I didn't know if you were still mad at me. I didn't know how I was going to face you. Then you picked me up and hugged me. Everything that I have ever worried about or been stressed about faded away completely. I never felt more at home. I knew I was going to end up staying."

Jay kissed the top of her head, "I love you Greenpeace."

"I love you too Hogart," Emma giggled a little at the use of her nickname.

The summer had passed quickly once the initial shock of everyone's situation had set in. Snake had come home a changed man you could say. He is completely better with Emma being with Jay and says he will be forever remorseful for his actions. Spike and Jack moved back in right away but Emma was more reluctant.

Spike understood but school was starting on Monday and she still wasn't back home therefore she was becoming impatient. Emma wants so badly to go home to her basement bedroom and be a normal teenager. Not one working in a shop with her boyfriend to support themselves living together. Emma was at the point where all day she could stay at the Simpson-Nelson residence but when they turned off the lights and it was dark she couldn't sleep.

"Emma, he isn't going to hurt you. I think it's time to come home," Her mother spoke calmly to her daughter on the phone.

"Mom, I know he isn't but deep down I'm still scared," Emma admitted to Spike.

"Honey, there is a lock on the basement door that can not be opened from the outside. I know your scared at night, so I put a lock there for you. It's time to come home. If it makes things easier for you I will allow Jayson to stay for few nights," Spike said desperate to get her daughter home.

"Okay, I will come home if Jay can stay," Emma finally conceded. She smiled a little knowing she was going home. It was going t bed weird not having Jay around all the time though. It was just an adjustment she was going to have to make.

"Okay Em, I'll see you tomorrow," Her mother said sounding pleased before hanging up the phone.

With that Jay plopped down onto the couch next to her with his shaggy wet hair, "Did I just hear that you are going home?"

Jay had gotten used to the idea as the summer progressed. It no longer made him angry when Emma mentioned she wasn't staying forever but he definitely liked it better when she was here. She had spent one weekend away this summer and he got drunk and slept the rest of the weekend.

She nodded, "Yes tomorrow but you get to come stay for the first few nights so I'm comfortable."

She ran a hand through his wet hair. He closed his eyes at her touch, he smiled a little. "You'll come won't you?" she asked still running her finger through his hair. He nodded and she moved closer into his arms. He turned her face to meet his and kissed her. She smiled against his lips and kissed him again before pulling away.

"Come on you," she said pulling him to the bedroom. She laid down on top of him and straddled him with a sly grin. He pulled her down and kissed her forcefully. She pulled her own shirt off of her. She had no bra underneath. His shirt quickly followed when him flipped them over. He PJ shorts and underwear followed his boxers as well. He slid into her quickly and she gasped.

A whole summer getting used to his size and it still surprised her every time. He pounded into her quickly and kissed her neck. They both panted and climaxed together. Through the waves over pleasure Emma called Jay's name. He rolled off of her and pulled her in to go to sleep.

"No way, we are not done here. I am going home tomorrow, that means significantly less sex," Emma whispered in his ear. His eyes shot open and looked over at her with a smirk. She kissed his lips, then down his neck and chest before sucking him off. She had surprised him, they had had a lot of sex this summer but not once had she sucked him off. He was surprised how fast she had pushed him over the edge. She swallowed every drop and kissed him again.

He smiled and began to go down on her too. He laughed to himself for a split second. His drunken father had told him once that you should never get down on one knee for a girl that wouldn't get down on two for you. She arched her back when his tongue met her sensitivity. He pushed her over the edge just as quickly as she had pushed him. He kissed her lips once more.

"Fuck me again," she whispered quietly into his ear then nibbled on it. He was hard again for the third time that night. They fucked again, and even twice more after that before they slept. They had had enough sex to last them a week and it was a good thing. Not living alone and together anymore was going to make things difficult for them.

"Hey Mom, I'm home," Emma called into the silent house. Jay stood behind her closing the door.

"Great, they can't even be home when I get home after being away all this time," Emma said strolling into the kitchen. She paused to read the note her mother had left. Em, sorry we couldn't be here this weekend, Snake's mother had a fall and we're going to help out. We love you and will see you Monday.

Emma groaned, "Okay, that's it. I have had enough of them putting everyone else before me. I'm her daughter and she still puts the rest of the world before me. I can't live here."

Jay stood beside her with an arm around her waist and he kissed the top of her head, "Emma, if you don't want to stay here then come live with me. We've been doing it all summer. It's not like it's anything new."

She nodded, "Thank you, you are honestly the best thing I have. I know I lean on you a lot and we spend all of our time together but now that school is starting back up it'll be different."

Jay smiled, "I love you Boo, and I can't say I mind having you lean on me. I know we aren't going to be together all the time now but it'll be a good thing."

Emma nodded and went to go downstairs to grab the last of her things. She wasn't coming back this time and she took everything. 2 boxes and 4 bags later her and Jay where loading up the car. Emma locked the front door again and slipped the key into the slot with a note saying she wasn't coming back.

Emma climbed in the front seat of Jay's orange civic and watched as they drove away from her childhood home. Emma let a tear roll down her cheek silently. "Babe, are you okay?" Jay asked looking over at her.

She didn't answer just let another tear roll down her cheek before shaking head no. She dropped her head into her hands and sobbed loudly. Jay pulled over quickly and got out of the car rushing over to her side and pulling her out and into a hug.

She wrapped her arms around him and sobbed uncontrollably into his chest. He held on tight and ran circles on her back lightly with his hand. She sucked in a shaky breath, "Jay, I don't know what I would have ever done without you. You're my everything now. I love you so much please don't ever leave me."

His heart broke for her, "Emma Nelson, I am never ever leaving your side. I need you just as much as you need me."

She gave a small sad smile, "I'm sorry I totally just lost it. The thought that you're the only one that truly loves me kills me. My mom and I were always close but as soon as she started dating Simpson everything changed."

Jay wiped some more tears from her face and kissed her forehead, "Boo, I know exactly what it feels like to be abandoned but the difference is when I felt it, I didn't have you there to comfort me. You have me here to lean on, forever."

Emma smiled, "No, you just had all the girls in the ravine."

Jay shook his head, "You could compile every girl I've ever been with and it would in no way even come close to measuring up to what you give me."

Emma smiled and Jay's smile grew bigger at the sight of hers, "That's my girl, there's the beautiful smile I love."

Emma's cheeks flushed pink and Jay laughed, "You are the cutest."

Emma hit his arm with a smile, "Get in the car, let's go home."

Jay smirked and returned to the drivers seat. They linked hands and drove back to their home. It was no longer Jay's home that Emma was staying at. It was their apartment, all theirs. Emma put her stuff back where it had been all summer.

She smiled and sat down on the couch next to Jay. He wrapped an arm around her and flipped through the TV channels. She laid her head on his shoulder and felt more at home than she ever had at her mother's house. "I don't know why I ever really wanted to go back there," Emma said playing with the strings on her sweater.

Jay smiled, "I didn't want you to go back there honestly. It would have been way to lonely here without you anyways. Are you ready for school tomorrow?"

Emma smiled, "I think so. Are you going to go to all of your classes this year? You already got put back a year but I won't complain because I'll be with you more."

Jay whispered in her ear, "You know there might have been reasons for my failing and subconsciously I'm sure I did it so I could have some classes with the pretty girl I tormented all year."

She giggled and her smile turned to a grin, "I love you."

"I know Boo, I love you too," Jay said resting his head on hers.
