Chapter 20
Emma's POV:
Sunday afternoon I lay down on my bed down in the basement talking to Lexi on my cell phone.
"Oh my God, I know. She really needs to lay off the tweezers. Sean and I saw her yesterday when we were at the mall and I swear it looked like she didn't even have any eyebrows. She looked so bad." I say as I flip though the latest issue of Fashion 18.
"I know she is such a freak. You remember the Andy freak from Lakehurst?" She asks.
"Ugh! The creep that Sean was ready to kill cause he didn't know the meaning of keep your hands off of me and I have a boyfriend. Sadly I remember him." I say and we both laugh thinking about how pissed Sean got at the guy last Friday.
"Yeah well he walked into the movies with Heather. I almost lost my lunch seeing the two of them. Speaking of the movies and Sean. You never told me who that slut of a red head was." She says jumping into a subject I really didn't want to go into. But Alex is one of my best friends and once she finds out the truth about Sean shell be cool with him.
"Well you know whom we knew Sean came from Wasaga, but no one knew why he was sent here. Turns out Ellie, the red head slut. Not only played him and her boyfriend. But when her boyfriend caught her and Sean at a party he took Sean outside and the boyfriend and his friends jumped him. It was like fifteen to one and they were beating him so bad he didn't even have a chance to fight back."
"Damn. Poor guy." She says cutting me off.
"Oh no that's not even the worst part. Someone called the cops because of the party and when they started to show up the boyfriend and his friends took off running just leaving Sean there. Well he didn't want to start anything else with the guy so when the cops questioned him, he didn't give them any names. So he spent the night and jail and the next day his folks told him to start packing. And here we are now." I finish telling her just as a beep comes in. I pull the phone away from my ear and see its Sean calling me. "Speak of the devil. It's Sean. Can I call you back?" I ask and am already to switch lines by time she answers with a yes.
"Hey you." I greet him.
"Hey. So what are you doing tonight?" He asks.
"Not much, just staying here and trying to avoid the party my mom and David are having up stairs." I tell him rolling over on my back.
"Well you want to go to the Dot and then maybe come back here to watch a movie?" He asks.
I can't help but smile, "How about double cheese pizza and a movie at your place. David's been bringing the Dot home every night for like the past three days. I'm kinda sick of it." I tell him honestly.
"That's fine. What me to come get you?" He asks.
"Nah. I gotta take a shower and stuff first. I ll be there in a while okay? I'll call you before I leave." I say getting off of my bed and walk over to my closet and start looking for a cute top to go with my new jeans.
"Okay, I ll see you soon." He says we both say our goodbyes and hang up. I decide on my white T-shirt with a light pink design and blue sleeves. I grab my jeans that have holes in both knees and a few spots that are about to become holes along with my shirt and walk in the bathroom. An hour and a half later I walk out with my hair straight and in my outfit. I sit down and add some light make up.
After another fifteen minutes I am finally ready to go, I walk up my stairs and can smell the alcohol the second I enter the kitchen. That's just great, I get to come home to a bunch of passed out people. I walk around everyone and out the back door to go to Sean's house. David is out there standing against the rail.
"And where do you think you're going?" He asks. I just roll my eyes and walk past him.
I am forced to turn around when he grabs my arm and spins me to him.
"Out. I say to him." Before I know it his hand slaps across my face and I feel the tears coming to my eyes. He's never hit me as hard as he just did.
I feel myself getting out of his grip and running down the stairs and to the back alley I take to get to Sean's house.
Ten minutes later I am standing in front of Sean's apartment and knocking as hard and as fast as I can. Right now all I want is for him to take me in his arms and hold me while I cry and listen to his voice as he whispers to me.
"Yeah I'm coming." I hear him yell which only causes me to knock harder. He opens the door and I look at him. I see the smile he had on transfer into a frown as he pulls me to him and rubs my hair.
The rest of the night Sean holds me as I cry and when I'm calm down and we order pizza and watch a movie. I can't help but to realize that this was something I use to do with Jay. I think of Jay and wonder what he's doing. I haven't exactly been the best best friend since Sean and I got together. But I try to spend time with Jay. It's just whenever I want to ask him, he's not at school. And after school I'm with Sean or Lexi. Maybe he'll be there tomorrow so I can talk to him.
Around ten I'm too tired and too scared to go home so I once again find myself in Sean's bed and him on the couch.
The next morning I just put my outfit from the night before on and ask Sean if I can wear a hoodie.
We both get dressed and walk to school. Once we get there, I look around for Jay, but he's not there. He's probably skipping again.
In class we have a sub and I spend the whole time telling Sean how much I hate David and wish he would just leave. He comforts me in only a way he can. Rubbing my back, kissing my head, or rubbing my legs and telling me that he is always there for me. After class we walk out in the hall and I hear Ellie and Ashley talking about what a slut I am. Whatever screw them. They have no idea what I have to deal with. I'm talking to Sean when I hear my name and look up to see Jay. When we reach him, he takes my face in his hands and looks at my cheek.
"What happened?" He asked me with a hint of worry in his voice.
"She's fine, Jay. She came over and we just put on ice pack and that's all." Sean said answering for me. "I didn't ask you Cameron. I was talking to my best friend who apparently totally forgot about me since you came into her life. I shouldn't have let you guys date. Emma why didn't you call me or let me know?" He says to me but looking at Sean
"Well, we were planning to go out but she went home, and then her mom and David were having a party and she got stuck in the middle of something with David. She just came over, what should've I done, not let her in and tell her to go to your house? We didn't even know where you were and if you were busy or not." Sean said getting closer to Jays face.
"If she called, I would've dropped everything and came to her rescue just like all the other times I used to. Just cause you're dating her doesn't give you every right to use this against her. God knows what you really want to do, how do I know you haven't tried anything?" Jay said not backing up. At this point, people had stopped walking and were watching us. They couldn't give a fuck right now, but I do. I do not need the whole damn school knowing my home life.
"GUYS STOP IT RIGHT NOW!" I screamed. They both turned to me and Jay noticed that I was crying. He walks over to me and hugs me and I cry on his shoulder. It feels good to be back in his arms. After I calm down, I pull away. "Jay, Im so sorry that I'm leaving you out. It's not like I planned on it. This is the first time something has happened for almost a month. I would've come to you, but I wasn't sure where you were, and since Sean and I were already going on a date it made more sense that I went to him. I promise Ill spend more time with you. Its just hard trying to make time separately for you guys equally." I say looking at Jay but talking to both of them. I was trying to calm Jay down more, cause I know how bad it could get if he got more angry.
"Ok, I just feel like you cut me off from your world. I miss hanging out with my best friend, watching movies, and eating double cheese pizza. If not that at least a call or text." He said to me softly trying to calm me down more. I give him a small smile.
"Jay I'm really sorry. How about after school well all go to the Dot and then maybe you and me will go back to your apartment and watch a couple movies ok? Sean I know, we were going to do English homework together but we still have a couple days so I can hang out with my best friend." I said to Sean. He nods. I know he may be a little upset, but Jay is and always will be a huge part of my life. Jay and I hug, and we both walk away to our next class happier then before. The rest of the day went by quickly. And next thing I know I find myself in the front seat of Jay's car on our way to the dot. After Lex meets up with us, we sit around and talk and finally Jay and I drop off Sean and Lexi and go to his place.
"Wow, this place hasn't changed. You're still the same neat freak that you've always been." I say laughing trying to lighten the mood.
"I guess some things never change. I miss you being here Em. I think your bed is getting cold and wants its owner back." He says to me when we both sat on the couch.
"I know Jay. But I promise, I'll be around more. I just got caught up with Sean. But you also have to realize he's still in my life. Sometimes I ll go to him and sometimes I'll come to you. Just as long as you're around, I'll be fine." I tell him. Sean has to come to terms of mine and Jay's friendship and Jay has to come to terms that I am dating Sean and he is a big part of my life too.
"Ok, what movie do you want to watch?" He asked me.
I smile the biggest smile I have smiled in a day and walk back to my room and come out with a DVD. I put it in the player and grab the remote.
"Em. Nooooo!" Jay groans as the opening credits to A Walk to Remember comes on.
"Yes. Now shut up the movie's starting." I smile and lay my legs across his lap. It feels good to be back home.
