Love Reinterrupted

Chapter 11
New Divide
"Emily has been acting strange today." Mike told Mia. "I wonder why that could be?"
"Maybe she's just mad at you for putting her on a wild goose chase." Mia suggested.
"But, she's not angry, she seems, almost guilty." Mike knew the reason for that, but she figured that, from the way Mike was describing her, Emily would crack soon.
"Just give it time, probably pre-wedding jitters. It happens all the time." Mia said. Mike left the bakery and headed home. When he got home he grabbed the journal he found 12 years ago.
"So this is Jayden's, I wonder if he wants it back? He's probably forgotten all about it. Why would Emily feel so guilty, and does it have anything to do with that wild goose chase? Man, I'm hungry, what's in the fridge." Mike went over to the fridge and pulled out a tub of leftover lasagna. Mike started eating and turned n the TV.
"The robbery was attempted by Jesse Jackson, a 27 year old African-American male. If you have any idea about him, please notify the authorities. He was last seen at Charlie Hudson's house hosting a party."
"In other news concerning the robbery of $50,000. It turns out that the robbers were originally going for 5 million dollars, but got interrupted when a civilian wouldn't cooperate. Here's Linda with more."
"Yes, I'm here with a Ms. Mikala Perez, one of the hostages in the bank robbery, can you tell us what happened during the robbery yesterday."
"Well, the robbers pulled out a gun and told us all to get down or they'd shoot. I got down, but the guy behind me didn't. The boss came out and they talked about stopping a wedding or something like that and then they left."
"Do you know the name of the person."
"I couldn't hear real well, but it sounded like Layton Crossover."
"Is that all?"
"Yes I believe so." Mikala said.
Mike changed the channel.
"Man, that Layton guy is lucky that he didn't get his head blown off. I feel sorry for whoever's wedding they stop." Mike thought to himself, though even if he said it out loud it would still be to himself since nobody else was there, plus Mike isn't telepathic so he can't think to anyone else. He watched some TV and finished the lasagna. He decided to leave and talk to Emily and see what was wrong with her. He met up with her 30 minutes later.
"Emily, what's wrong? You've been acting a little weird today."
"What?" Emily asked, not knowing how difficult it would be to keep the secret in.
"Yeah, I mean you wouldn't look me in the eye when we talked earlier, and you keep spacing out."
"Sorry, I guess I'm a little tired, considering that the goose chase took 4 hours of running across town. Jayden almost made us walk to the next city over." Emily lied.
"Oh, I guess that could be a reason." Mike sheepishly forgetting how he sent her off with a determined Jayden to find a wild goose.
"Yeah, we never found it, but I think Jayden say it was getting dark after a while and we came back."
"Okay, so are you ready to get married?" Mike asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be, it's too bad Kevin can't make it back in two days." Emily said saddened at how one of her best friends can't see her big day, even if Jayden was making her have second thought about it. "I have to go through with it. Mike really cares about me. Jayden just came back for one reason. Wait, didn't I already think this? Ugh, he has my mind going in circles!" Emily thought.
"Emily you sure have been spacing out a lot lately." Mike said. Emily snapped out of it.
"Sorry, lot on my mind." She explained.
"I know how you feel, ever since six months ago, when I put forth my plan to propose, I've been thinking, mostly about the future, but sometimes I think about you." Mike paused. "And it makes me smile." Mike looded at her and say that she was listening. "Mrs. Emily Vasquez. That sounds good." Mike started talking to himself.
"Mrs. Emily Burkholder." Emily thought. "No! Mrs. Emily Vasquez. That is who I am going to be."
"I can't wait for page 33 in Jayden's journal. I think I can give it back. I've memorized it from here on out. Soon Emily will feel how I felt." Mike went ahead with his scheme. "Hey, Em. I gotta leave and do something. Real important business."
"Fine, I'm a big girl, I can handle myself." Emily told him. Mike went back home, grabbed the tacky yellow journal and headed right back out the door to Mia's bakery, hoping to get directions to where Jayden was staying. Luckily for him. Jayden was already there talking to Antonio. Mike walked over to them.
"Hey, Jayden, I think you might want this, Antonio told me how it was yours, and, well, I guess I can give it back, I didn't add anything. The first 21 pages are exactly as they should be." Mike explained.
"Oh, thanks, so the ink stain on page 15?"
"Still there." Mike said.
"See you later Mike." Antonio said. Mike walked out and headed home, ready to set page 33 into action.
