Emily's pov:
All through soundcheck and the concert next day I couldn't stop smiling . My brother played an early set so they all came down and watched me play. They all looked so happy but there was still a sick feeling in my stomach.
We're John and I back together? Did I want to be back together with him? I took a drink of water and looked out into the crowd. "before I continue to my last song I need to say something. I just want to thank all of you for believing in me. You guys fought for me when I was tired of fighting. I owe everything to you guys." I said with tears forming in my eyes. The crowd was silent until Alex started clapping. The whole crowd was clapping and screaming. I let the tears fall down and smiled. "now let's make some fucking memories! I want to see crowd surfing. No mosh pits I don't like that shit." I laughed and played my last song.
"Emily you were awesome" Alex said while running over to me and wrapping his arms around me. "fuck you Alex lemme see her." jack said while Alex stepped away and he hugged me. "you were amazing sweetheart." he said. "what was that whole speech about at the end?" Zack said. "just caught up in the moment." I said. "BUT NOT IN THE RIGHT WAY." Alex sang. "really dude." rian said.
John and the rest of the Maine walked towards the stage And Alex tensed up. "jack why don't we go get some beers." I said and the boys sat down on the couch.
Jack and I walked down to the busses. "jack I need to tell you something." I said looking down. "what you aren't pregnant are you?" he laughed. I looked up at him and he stopped laughing. "what is it." he said concerned. "last night during the party I was in the bathroom freaking out and I uh...tried...again." I stammered. "go on." he said softly. "John found me." I said blinking back tears. "what happened?" he said not looking at me. "we kissed that's all. We aren't back together jack it's just.." I said but I was stopped by jack hugging me. "I'm happy." he said smiling. "you are?" I asked. "of course I am. You haven't smiled since he left. Like a real smile where you bite your lip and your eyes do that adorable twinkly thing." he laughed. I couldnt help but smile. "just like that." he said. " do you think Alex will take it like you are?" I asked. "to be honest no. He is probably going to blow up and freak out. We need to convince him it's a good thing." he said. I pulled him into the bus. "I'll do it right now." I said while walking to my bunk. I opened up the bag that was underneath my
Blanket. "here." I said handing him the bag. "wow." he said as he saw the 15 bottles of pills and the razors. "I'm throwing it away." I said. I walked over to the trashcan and emptied the contents."let's get those beers." he said with a smile and we walked to the cooler.
Alexs pov:
"do you think everything is okay with Emily?" Zack said. I turned my head towards him. "I hope so. Everything seemed fine today" I said nervously. something was up with Emily. Emily and jack came back with beers. "finally god damn." I said as Emily handed me a beer. She shot me a look and sat on jacks lap. "hey emily!" jack shouted. "hey jack!" she yelled back. "guess what!" he screamed back. "you're my best friend." he said while hugging her from behind. "well thanks" I said pretending to be hurt. "Alex you know someone could never replace you." he said . I laughed and Emily got up. "I'm tired." she yawned.
"I think it's nap time." I said getting up too. Everyone agreed and we all went to the bus.
"alex wait up." Emily said as everyone was getting onto the bus. "what?" I asked. "I need to tell you something." She said nervously. She couldn't look me in the eye. "Emily tell me." I said with a smile of anticipation. "last night I tried….. it.. again." She said cautiously. I took a step closer to her and moved her bangs. "its alright Emily just tell me." I said knowing what she was going to say next. "John found me." She said. "I know." I stopped her. She looked up in surprise. "What do you mean?" she said with a shocked expression across her face. "I told him that if he wanted to, he could get back together with you. It was obvious you still loved him. He made you happy. It was horrible seeing you like this Emily." I said laughing softly. She smiled and walked onto the bus. I blinked hard because for a second I thought I saw little 5 year old Emily stand before me; her little sweet innocent smile before the hell that happened to her. I walked onto the bus dumbfounded and hung out with everyone as we were on our way to the next venue.
