A Big Mistake
Chapter Fourteen: Leaving?
"Um, who are you?" Emma asked nervously.
"Skinny. I'm a friend of Jay's." he said smugly.
"Well, Jay's not here." Emma said slightly pissed.
"I know." Emma's eyes grew wide with terror, she tried to quickly shut the door, but Skinny burst through the door and pushed Emma against the wall.
"What are you doing? Get off me." She screamed and struggled and fought.
"Come on, you let Jay touch you. Let me have a turn too. Me and Jay used to share all the girls." Skinny smiled a devilish smile.
"No!" Emma was screaming and begging and crying for Skinny to just stop and leave. Then he ripped her top in half, and pulled off her pajama bottoms. If I live through this I'm done. What if Riley had been here? Jay doesn't care about us anymore, or he would have made sure we were safe.
Emma screamed through the entire ordeal. Skinny was very rough, and hurt her a lot. He liked to hear her scream in pain. When he was done he said, "You were good, I see why Jay kept you to himself." Then he beat her until she was half dead.
Jay walked into the apartment at 5:00 in the morning; he saw that the house was trashed. He walked into the bedroom and found Emma unconscious and bleeding.
He quickly picked her up and drove her to the emergency room.
After they took her, he called Spike to make sure they were all right and to let them know what had happened. Spike showed up a little while after with Riley and Jack. Manny and Sean came too. They waited most of the day before the doctor asked to speak to Jay.
"Um, Mr. Hogart your fiancé was raped and beaten brutally." The doctor said.
"Is she going to be okay?"
"We've stabilized her and stopped all internal bleeding. But…"
"But what?"
"We couldn't save the baby, I'm sorry."
"Baby?" Jay asked confused for a second. "She was pregnant?"
"Yes." The doctor stated.
Jay told Spike, Manny, and Sean everything, before he went to see Emma.
"Em, can you hear me?"
"Yeah…"
"Em, I'm so sor…"
"Is Riley okay, he didn't find out where my mom lives, did he?" Emma interrupted him.
"Yeah, Riley's fine. Who did this, Emma?"
"Skinny."
"I'll get him later."
"Em, I have something to tell you. You lost the baby."
"I know I felt it."
"Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?"
"Jay you were never home when I was awake, how was I supposed to tell you anything, when you were never around?"
"I know. I'm sor…"
"Jay, I'm really tired can you just go?"
"Sure."
Two weeks later Emma was out of the hospital. Jay drove her to their apartment, then went back to the shop.
As soon as Emma got home she started packing her Riley's things with tears in her eyes. Then she drove to her mother's house.
"Mom, I'm here to get Riley." Emma called out as she entered her mom's house .
"Oh Em, Jay said he was going to have Riley stay a few more nights to let you rest."
"Well I'm her mother, and Jay has no say in anything that has to do with Riley." Emma said coldly.
"Hey baby." Emma said to Riley.
"Mommy, you're home." Riley exclaimed and jumped into Emma's arms for a hug.
"Emma why are you acting so strange?" Spike asked concerned.
Emma put Riley down. "Riley, sweetheart can you go wait in the car for mommy?"
"Okay, mommy. Bye grammy." Riley gave Spike a big hug and a kiss.
"All right Riley's out of hearing range, what is going on?" Spike demanded.
"I'm leaving. Mom I'm moving to California, I'm leaving Jay." Emma was crying now.
"Sweetie, he loves you and you love him. What about Riley?"
"Mom love isn't enough, I was raped. And I am thinking about Riley. What if Riley had been home? Huh? What then? Something could have happened to her.
"I'll call you when I get there, okay. Tell Jay I love him and try to explain why this is what's best for both Riley and me."
Emma walked out her mom's front door, made sure Riley was buckled into her booster seat and left Toronto for good.
