"Why would he ROB you?!" Sean asked angrily, storming back and forth in Emma's fucked up dorm room as Spinner and Jay stood in there too.

Spinner whistled to all the smashed glass everywhere and walked around the scattered mess and clothes.

Manny sadly leaned on the wall, "So much for living together." she pouted.

Emma had red puffy eyes but was trying hard to not cry. She sat on a chair and just slumped back unhappily. Even her favorite frame on the wall was smashed to bits.

Kelly must of gone off the deep end. Losing his classes, school, girl friend, and now any chance at money and a place to stay. Soon, his parents would know he was a big fat loser.

Jay stood near the door still, and he was furious, haven't even spoken yet but he didn't look like he was in the talking mood and he was glaring down at the box Emma use to put her stash and money inside. The fucker had to take her money? After all the money she had already given him? the debt she got Kelly out of too. . little prick.

"This because you dumped him?" Sean asked Emma, turning to her as she looked up with big brown eyes

She wouldn't say that this was ONLY for that...seemed he was looking for her stash of weed and her money too, but she couldn't really tell Sean that.

"Does he know about us?" Sean questioned.

Emma shut her mouth and looked down. She could feel everyones eyes on her, even Jays.

Jay squinted his eyes almost madly. Did Sean say 'us'? So she was with this guy again? Great.

Emma looked up, noticing Jay walk out and Spinner turned, "Dude! Where you going?!" he called after.

"Got shit to do," he muttered and just left.

Emma shook a little and finally crossed her arms and stood up, glancing where Jay left and then to Manny.

Manny saddened and offered, "We could rent a hotel?"

"With what money?" snickered Emma sadly.

Sean put his arm around her waist and leaned her into the side of his body "You can stay with me," he looked at Manny, "Both of you..til you find a place." he nodded sincerely.

"College is going to be pissed this happened..'' drifted Emma.

"Just say you were robbed and don't know by who. They won't make you pay for this." Spinner insisted.

Emma nodded, but still looked upset.

Her and Manny did take Sean on that offer, and the next day, Spinner, Lucas and Jane helped move their stuff in.

That night, Sean was making love to Emma again and she tried to focus, moaning here and there but her eyes stared up at the cieling as he lay on top of her, moving.

Was this karma? Did she deserve this? Where did Jay have to go that he couldn't stick around earlier when she was robbed.. she coulda used his support.

When Sean was passed out beside her, Emma couldn't help but glance out his window and at his door a few times,feeling unsafe.

Not like Kelly would actually break in or do anything, he wasn't that bad of a guy and he probably got all his stress out today but.. .I don't know, Emma's life felt rocky right now.

She needed to find her and Manny a place soon..

She finally closed her eyes and let herself drift to sleep

Meanwhile, on the other end of town, Kelly was walking to his parents' front door. They thought he was just homefor a reading week for college or something, they didn't know the truth yet.

When he opened the door, wondering who came knocking at 2 am, he gasped and cried out when a big guy grabbed him viciously and threw him outside.

Bruno.

Jay stood with, and shut the door behind them so his parents wouldn't hear a thing.

Bruno held Kelly as he struggled and tried to breath, gazing up at Jay terrified when Jay actually held a gun and just played with it.

"Where's her money?" Jay asked calmy, eyes on his gun and Kelly stared at it too, his eyes wide.

He had no idea when he did that to Emma, that Jay would come defending her. He though, maybe just maybe, Sean would...but he didn't. .. .now? He wished he had. Nothing was scarier then this.

He tried to act clueless, "Huh?"

Jay blinked and looked up, then glanced at Bruno, "Let him go." he told him.

KElly breathed out in shakely, happy to be let go until he groaned and was punched in the stomach. Jay shoved him to the ground after and then bent down as Kelly caught his breath on the stones of his driveway.

Jay played with the trigger of his gun as he finally gazed right into Kellys eyes, and Kelly couldn't believe the lengths this guy went to just because of one his 'workers' got robbed. This wasn't Jay's problem, it was Emma's.

"One more chance, Braveheart." taunted Jay, and finally aimed at Kellys head with his gun and Bruno looked around to make sure nobody was watching.

"It's in my bag!" yelled Kelly right away, out of fear, and his eyes were clenched so hard tears were forming and he grit his teeth, waiting to be shot or something

Suddenly, Bruno had pulled him backon his feet and he opened his eyes and looked around. Kelly looked terrified, but happy beyond relief as Jay nodded at him and patted his head.

"Thanks." he nodded towards his house, "Now go get it." he demanded with dark threatening eyes.

Kelly nodded and ran in inside as fast as he could as Bruno followed him.

Jay stayed outside and reached into his pocket. His lit his half joint and smoked the rest of it.. he needed it to calm down. He inhaled deeply and slowly exhaled.

This would be something Emma could never know about...

I'd die for you
I'd cry for you
I'd do anything
I'd lie for you
You know it's true
Baby I'd die for you
I'd die for you
I'd cry for you
If it came right down to me and you
You know it's true, Baby I'd die for you

(bon jovii-i'd die for you)
