"Didn't take Adam Sandler for a gay guy" Jay admitted walking out of the movies with Emma

They just saw I now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry.

"He was only acting" Emma told Jay while slowly walking out, giving him a look like what he said was predictable out of his outh.

"Did a pretty good job" Jay joked

"What's wrong with guys liking guys?" Emma asked crossing her arms at Jay

"Nothing I guess. Just, how does it happen?" Jay smirked stopping with her

"attraction I guess?" Emma asked standing in front of him and Jay raised an eyebrow..guess he could relate to that.

"Emma" came a voice splitting the two apart to turn to the one and only-

"Peter?" Emma asked standing beside Jay infront of the movies as Peter went over

"Thought you said you were with the girls today" Peter asked glancing at Jay who rolled his eyes at him

"It's night genius" Jay boredly reminded.

"What are you doing with him?" Peter asked Emma, taking her hand and moving her closer to him.

Jay raised an eyebrow at him and glanced at the the big movie theatre behind them like it wasn't obvious that she was just watching a movie..at the movie theatre.

Emma tried hard not to smile seeing Jay's reaction to that. Peter glared watching Jay leave and walk away a few steps, lighting a cigerette and then turned back to Emma.

"we just saw a movie Peter" Emma huffed seeing Peters glare. Rude, much?

"You sure about that?" Peter snapped

"positive. I don't know what your thinking Peter" Emma shot back madly

"Fine, whatever" Peter bitters dropping the subject

"What are you doing here?" Emma suddenly asked looking around

"Uh. Nothing" Peter quickly said

"nothing?" Emma repeated

"short cut to home" Peter says going around her

"Oh really?"

"Yeah. I'll see you later?" Peter kissed her.

Jay glanced over to clench his jaw and look away, exhaling his smoke from his heavy lungs. Jealousy sucked..

"Can I get a light?" came the voice of Amy.

Jay glanced at her, then for a moment at Emma, waving goodbye to her Prince Charming.

He nodded and got his liter out while he held his own lit cigerette in his mouth. Amy leaned in with hers and let him light it for her.

Emma turned back to Jay to stop in her tracks, seeing the moment. Amy exhaled the now lit smoke and leaned back, smirking up at Jay who had his eyes locked on her too. Emma's blood boiled with jealousy.. if this was him trying to make a point, it was a rude one.

She never tried to shove Peter into his face.. at least she knew Jay could have any girl he wanted, maybe that's another reason why she was so scared to be with him.

Amy noticed Emma and awkwardly shifted seeing Jay being on some sort of friend basis with the Goody two shoes now so pretended to be nice.

"Hey Emma.." she drifts, sizing the year younger girl up.

Emma just nodded and tried to muster a smile, wrapping her arms around her and Jay cornered his eyes to sneak a glance at her.

"I'm having a party this weekend. You guys should come." amy said but her eyes stayed on Jay, clearly not that hyped up overasking Emma.

Even Emma replied quickly, "Can't. Sorry."

Amy just kept her eyes on Jay who flicked his smoke away and looked at the ground to sneak another glance at Emma.. he didn't want to hurt her, just wanted her to see how it felt to him.

"I'll see you there." Jay nodded to Amy who smirked widely.

Emma just rolled her brown eyes and turned, beginning to walk home and Jay nodded as a goodbye to Amy before following, eyeing Emma closely from behind.

As they got home and Emma opened the door, she barely gave time for Jay to get in before shutting it even on him.

Jay cringed but gave a 'yeah, expected' smile and nod. He closed the door the right way as she turned, crossing her arms.

"You don't look happy." he taunted, throwing his hat off.

Emma just glared, "I'm gonna sleep in my Mothers room." she started going up the stairs "You can have my room to yourself."

Slam.

When she slammed the door Jay sighed and looked at the stairs she went up, to slowly go down his towards her room.

He fell on her bed and shut his eyes, tired. Not tired but just sick and tired of not being able to just be straight with her.

He could barely sleep that night with her not being with him, and she was having the same problem.

The next day..

Manny and Emma tanned outside in the sunlight, in her backyard by the pool.

"So what? Your just not on speaking terms?" Manny asked, wearing her favorite white sunglasses.

Emma wore none and rocked her red bikini, her hair in a messy high bun, "Yup."

She told Manny what happened but for some reason, Manny was getting a kick out of it.

"So what you're saying is you found someone whose as stubborn as you."

"Manny! I need you to be on my side." Emma groaned and tossed over to be on her back.

"I can't be on your side when you got all these hot guys fighting over you. I'm jealous!" Manny insisted.

Emma opened her eyes giving her a look, "So you think Peter's hot?"

"Before he pissed me off, yes, but Jay? Such a babe." she admitted.

Emma shoved her a bit, "You didn't seem to like me with him before!" she exclaimed, not believing Manny was saying this now.

She couldn't help but feel a possesive feeling either when Manny called HER Jay a babe.

Manny put her sunglasses on her head while rolling her eyes, "You both were in a dark place, it wasn't healthy back then."

"So what?" Emma got lost in thought, "You want me to go for Jay?" she asked a bit hopefully then shook her head.

Manny shrugged, "Go for who you want... and by the look in your eye.. it seems to be Jay." she smirked "You're obvious."

"He's complicated."

"You're complicated." Manny reminded.

"He's different." Emma tried to keep fighting.

Manny huffed, "And you're not the typical girl either, Em."

"He's addicted to coke." Emma blurted out and Manny snapped up. Emma sighed and sat up.. here we go.

"WHAT?!"

Emma tried to explain, "He's not only looking for a place to stay, he's trying to beat his addiction and stay away from the bad."

"Guess you're good when it comes to that." mumbled Manny to then scoff, "He should really just go to rehab."

Emma looked down sadly and Manny felt for her.

"I don't want him to go." Emma whispered, confessing. Her heart sunk when she thought of Jay going..what if he didn't come back?

Manny stared in awe, "You're falling for Jay Hogart."

Emma groaned and got up, grabbing her towel and walked back into the house.

Manny blinked. Wow. She thought having a long distance relationship was bad..

Manny and Emma had a slumber that night and Jay didn't come home. Emma again, barely slept. And instead of texting her boyfriend back, she was calling Jay's phone, hoping he didn't slip and come to his cravings.

Manny had to get up earlier for her great summer job, so Emma laid in her bed alone and still couldn't muster the strength to get up until a weight was pressed onto the bed beside her

Emma's back was turned but knew it was him, and he got comfy beside her and stared at the back of her head, admiring her blonde hair.

"Did you do anything?" Emma heard her voice crack. God, she was falling for him and it was the scariest feeling in the world.

"No." he answered back, and seemed to be telling the truth as he let his eyes can more down her back, over her bare arms and swallowed hard.

Emma turned so they could be face to face and he looked sober enough too. Her heart fluttered happily and he smirked lazily seeing the justified look on her face.

"Good."

"Do I get a cookie?" he teased playfully. He hated not speaking to her, even if it's not even been two days.

She laughed and it sung in his ears.
