Chapter 10

The stranger was happy that Emma had finally conked out. It would make what he wanted to do next so much easier if she wasn't trying to fight him. It was time for him to make his move. He got on the bed and started to move in on her.

The bedroom door burst open and the lights turned on. "Get away from her!" Jay yelled and ran towards the bed. He took the stranger and grabbed him and pushed him up against the wall. Though the stranger was a good few inches taller than him and probably 50 pounds heavier, Jay's adrenaline was running and he felt invincible.

"Who are you? Her boyfriend?" the stranger asked as Jay held him up against the wall.

"No I'm not her boyfriend. If her boyfriend was here you wouldn't of gotten a word out of your mouth before he knocked you out." Jay clenched his fist and swung at the strangers head. He got a good shot at the side of his head. He continued to hit him until he felt the strangers body go limp and fall to the floor.

The commotion from the upstairs bedroom had been heard by some of the people from the party. Manny was back inside now and realized she hadn't seen Emma in almost an hour. She scanned the room and couldn't see her anywhere. She ran to get ahead of the other people to see what was going on upstairs. She hoped it had nothing to do with Emma.

Manny ran into the bedroom and couldn't believe what she saw. Emma was passed out on the bed tied up with duck tape over her mouth. There was a stranger lying on the floor with Jay standing over top of him. Her mouth dropped. She tried to speak. "What's going on in here…what happened."

Jay interrupted her before she could ask anything else. "Call 911 Manny!" Manny just stared trying to take it all in. He yelled again. "Call 911!" Manny shook her head and focused back on what Jay was saying. She grabbed her cell phone and dialed 911.

The sirens from the cop car jolted Emma awake. She looked around the room. Manny was sitting beside her on the bed holding her hand. Manny had untied them. She saw Jay in the corner making sure the stranger didn't make any sudden moves. Manny was in tears because she was scared of what had just happened to Emma. In moments the cops were upstairs in the bedroom arresting the stranger. Jay followed them outside to give them his statement. Ambulance attendant helped her take the duck tape off her mouth and put her on a stretcher and led her downstairs. Manny followed behind them.

Most of the people that had been at the party had scattered. There were still a couple of cop cars in the driveway along with the ambulance out on the street. Emma spotted Jay sitting on the back of the ambulance with an attendant wrapping up his hand. Emma was still a bit hazy from the alcohol and drugs in her system. She was surprised that Jay had been the one to save her. He was the last person she expected to help her out as they had never really gotten along.

The ambulance attendant reached the ambulance with the stretcher. Jay stood up and moved out of the way so they could put the stretcher on the back of the ambulance. Manny joined Emma in the back of the ambulance. Jay started to walk away.

"Jay?" Emma called our from inside the ambulance. Jay turned around and walked back towards it.

"Yeah, Greenpeace?" Jay replied.

"Thanks." Emma answered. Jay knew it would've been hard for Emma to thank him but was happy that she did. They spent so much time bickering that Jay knew it was hard for Emma to ask for help from him. He was Sean's best friend and he couldn't let anything happen to Emma while he was gone. Sean was like family. That is why he agreed to watch out for her in the first place.

The ambulance pulled out and headed towards the hospital. Jay got in his car and closed the door. He sat there for a few minutes deciding what to do next. He obviously didn't feel like finding a party anymore. With his 6 pack still in the trunk he decided to go back home and start drinking. He was going to need a couple of beer in him before he called Sean to tell him what had happened tonight.
