Chapter Twelve : the blood stains on his shirt

It's been two weeks since he watched her walk far away from him, he's been too pissed to text or go over to her house because he knew he was wrong. He wanted to make up with her so badly, kiss her again, hold her, let her sit behind him as they rode off into the sunset far away from the constant problems and fights. It's all he's been fantasizing about for the last two weeks.

It's been two weeks since she sent the lettter to Ty, rewritten in anger, saying things she probably shouldn't have. She stuck it in the mailbox and sulked around her studio for days, ignoring everyone unless they came to talk to her first. Daphne seemed pleased about that, she even came to say she was sorry about everything and hoped that Bay would find someone better suited for her in the future. Talk about a bitchy way to put i'm so glad you're not with the guy i'm supposed to be with anymore.

They missed each other but because they were both stubborn, neither of them was going to come right out and say it unfortunantly.

"Can I get you anything?" Melody peeks in the doorway and studies her son who hasn't removed himself from the bed in the last two weks except to go to school.

Emmett shakes his head and turns away from her, he was mad at her, actually he was beyond mad at her. She walks over to him and gently places a hand on his shoulder until he finally turns to look at her.

"I'm gonig out with Regina tonight, maybe you'd like to have Daphne over tonight?" She questions hopefully, smiling like she's truely being sincere.

Emmett shrugs, "I actually don't want too, thanks." He waves goodbye to her hoping she'll get the hint.

Melody rolls her eyes, "Fine, suit yourself but i'm sick of watching you mope around." She frowns.

Emmett sits up and glares, "Can I have Bay over?"

Melody laughs, "I don't think I'm really okay with that..."

"Daphne is more likely to talk me into sex then Bay i-," He starts but is cut off by his mom's hand on his.

"Too much information. Besides, I thought you and Bay broke up." Melody questions.

Emmett shrugs, "Doesn't matter, i'm going for a ride." He grabs his coat from the floor and slides it onto his torso turning around to wave goodbye.

Melody sighs knowing that she can't stop him, "Fine. Be safe."

He smiles and nods, "Will do."

He hops on and pulls on his helmet, not sure where he's going or what he's going to do, he just want to get out of the house, god damn was he anxious. The thing he should do was go see Bay, or go see Daphne, or go hang out with the guys but he wasn't in the mood- he was just going to go somewhere, anywhere, wherever he wanted too.

And that place happened to be the place where one of his last moments with Daphne was; in the run down part of town, where she had almost slept with Wilke. Emmett wanted to gag thinking about her and him in the backseat of his rich kid car.

He pulls over and parks. Looking around at the empty, cracked sidewalks, and the broken beer bottles and he hasn't felt more at peace in a long time. A few spots ahead of him is a shiny black car that looks all too misplaced but it couldn't be, that would be too conincidental wouldn't it? He hops off and takes his helmet with, tucking it under his arm and slowly jumping up on a ledge to get a better peak.

Wilke. Wilke and Daphne creeping around and touching. He actually does gag this time and jumps down. It might be a little awkward confronting them but if they saw him, he didn't want to look like a stalker or anything. That's when he see's something he never thought he'd have to; he pushed her. Wilke pushed Daphne to the ground and spit, obviously sloppy and drunk. Emmett's heart beats faster and he watches the blonde boy stalk off, back to the ledge that Emmett had just jumped down from.

Is it anger because that's his best friend on the ground, or is it fear because Wilke is bigger then him... a lot bigger. He assumes it's the first one and stomps over to Wilke; this would be hard since Wilke was dumb as a rock and couldn't understand anything that Emmett said.

"Hey it's Em- Em- the drummer deaf guy person!" He pats Emmett on the back a little too hard making Emmett cringe, "How's it going man?"

Spit is flying from his mouth and Emmett takes two steps back, partially so that he doesn't punch him in the face at how immature, obnoixous, and horrible he is and another so that he doesn't catch some disgusting disease that Wilke is carrying, "What are you doing with Daphne?"

Wilke tilts his head back, "I have noooo idea what you're saying... hey Daffodil, uh... you're like messed up too, come tell me what he's saying?" He calls to Daphne, laughing hystarically about nothing.

Emmett caught the messed up part, he caught the attitude, and he caught that bad vibe a long time ago and damn it, he should have worked harder to stop it. He brushes past Wilke making sure to nudge him hard in the gut before running over to Daphne who was still on her knees in the rocks.

"Wha- What are you doing?" Wilke spats, stumbling over almost tripping over his own two feet.

"Are you okay?" Emmett signs, not allowing the girl to respond as he takes her hand and helps her up.

She cringes as he helps her to her feet, staring down at the blood stains on her clothes and on her skin. He let's go when he see's red oozing from her palm and looks back at Wilke with pure anger. He pulls off his plaid shirt leaving only a plain back t-shirt on and hands it to her.

"Clean yourself up, I'll take care of him well I can." He turns and walks over to Wilke, signing like crazy at him, "How can you push a girl, how can you stand there and laugh, how can you just use somebody like that?"

Wilke shrugs, "She deserved what she got." He wasn't sure what Emmett was saying so he would just ramble to defend himself.

"Don't... ever.. talk to her.. EVER again." Emmett speaks, his words shooting straight out of his mouth quickly and cleanly sending Wilke back a few steps.

"Dude..." He puts his hands up defensivley, "She came to me.."

"Just like she deserved it... you're a lying sack of shit." Emmett goes back to signing and then takes in a deep breath. He pushes Wilke onto his ass which isn't too hard being that he's already about to fall but it feels good to watch him yell out curse words in pain.

What Emmett failed to realize was that Wilke was stronger then Daphne and no matter how much blood there was, he wasn't losing this fight. He's back on his feet in seconds and punches Emmett right in the jaw and the boy swears he felt a tooth come loose. He ignores it and swings right back until the two have broken out into a full blown fight. Daphne wants to run over, break it up, be Emmett's heroine like she had been forever, but she's too surprised at how violent and defensive Emmett had become within the last few minutes. Her hands no matter how much they hurt are reaching for her phone and pulling it out of her tight pockets quickly dialing for Bay; she isn't sure why but their's something about Bay that is safe, safe in a way that Kathryn, John, Toby, Regina, and everyone else aren't and never will be.

authors note : random, a bit, but wilke has been asking for it ever since he got involved in the love hexagon or whatever it is ;) thanks for reading guys and gals, let me know what you think? :D
