Ch 10
Jay stormed off to his house and slammed the front door. Manny was sitting in the living room watching TV wearing a diesel track suit. He looked down at her and sighed.
"Um, Amy stopped by…" she said looking up at him and he looked down at her ashamed.
"Sorry" was all he could say. She knew something was wrong.
"Jay what's wrong?" she asked.
"It's just that Sean; he said some shit that REALLY pissed me off" Jay said pacing a little. Manny stood up. Jay looked at her.
"What did he say?" She asked. He shook his head.
"Jay tell me!" She demanded. He sighed.
"He said you didn't love me and that you were going to leave" Jay said getting really pissed. He took the mirror off the wall and slammed it into the ground. Manny stood there shocked and scared. He looked at her and fell to his knees. "Manny, I'm sorry, I just need you" he said holding onto her waist. She started crying and rested her hands on his head.
"Jay what's the matter with you?" she said in a whisper. He stood up and looked her right in the eye, she didn't know whether to be scared or not. He took her hands into his.
"when you left me Manny, I went nuts, I did some shit that I should have never done, and then I finally picked my self up and started a great life and then you come back and now my world is flipped around" he hugged her and she felt her self wrap her arms around him. "Don't go anywhere please" he begged. She wiped her tears and nodded.
Jay fell asleep in the bed and she slipped out and started cleaning up the glass in the living room. It was 7 o'clock and there was a knock at the door.
"Better not be another one of Jay's girls" Manny said laughing to herself. She swung the door open and Sean was there. She sighed.
"Hi Sean" She said letting him in.
"Where's Jay?" he asked.
"Sleeping, he had a rough day" Manny said assuming Sean already knew. He nodded. He noticed her picking up glass and helped her.
"Did he break this?" Sean asked. Manny nodded. "Manny, he is bi-polar, I don't know if he told you that, but he's not like Craig honest" Sean said dumping the glass into the trash. "It only happens when something big is going on, like you coming back, its so overwhelming for him, it's not fair" Sean said looking at her. She stood up and so did he.
"What are you saying Sean?" Manny asked.
"Come on Manny, what are you intentions, you mean to tell me, your going to move back here give up everything in LA and be with Jay?" Sean asked. Manny didn't look at him.
"He can come with me" Manny said softly.
"Jay isn't going anywhere, he means to much to Emma and the boys and to much to me, that's my brother, the only real family I have ever had" Sean said softly. Manny wiped away a silent tear.
"I just can't leave him" Manny said softly.
"You have to Manny, you can't do this to him, it's not fair" Sean said he was pissed but being nice. "You have a guy waiting for you back in LA and you are engaged to him" Sean said shaking his head. She looked at him, he was right, so right, and she couldn't do this to him anymore.
"Just Sean, can you please do me one favor?" she asked. He nodded. "Tell Jay I love him, okay, just tell him I love him" She said softly. he nodded. "And tell Em" she said wiping another tear. "Tell her that I will be back when she has the baby, I will call her every day to check up on her, and when she is better, I am taking her on a shopping spree in LA for the babies and for her and for you" Tears were pouring out now. Sean smiled and hugged her.
"Have a safe trip" he said looking at her. She nodded. She grabbed her stuff and quietly slipped out. Sean sat down on the couch and flipped on the TV. He called Emma and told her everything. Sean had to sit there and wait, he had to break the news to Jay. It wasn't going to be easy, but if anyone had to do it, it should be him.
