Ch 25

Emily closed the door and leaned against the wall in shock. She knew Kate was guilty of sleeping with other guys when her and Pogue were in there "time out" stage, but this was unreal. It was flat out cheating and if Kate didn't know that she didn't deserve Pogue. And to cheat on Pogue with Aaron of all people..

"Emily!" Kate called as she opened the door wrapped in a robe. She stopped when she saw Emily. "Emily please you have to unders…"

"Understand? Understand what exactly? That Pogue is cheating on the person who loves him and completely trust them. Oh no that would be you."

"Emily, you don't know what it's been like. He's never touched me after the whole Chase incident…"

"Who the fuck is Chase and what does he have to do with anything?" Kate ran a hand through her hair on the verge of a break down.

"It's been different since I found out that he is what he is."

"So what! I'm different but we still gossip and make fun of old ladies dressing like teens!"

"Yea but that's not the same as it is with him. He's always on edge with me and won't let me be alone. Ever! Aaron is different he…"

"He's using yo!. God Kate is your brain even in your head! Aaron dumps Kira because she wants to make Caleb jealous by going out with him. If Aaron wanted to make Kira jealous he would go with Sarah. Sarah isn't that low, but screwing you who she's hate since forever may do the trick!" A tear fell from Kate's brown eye.

"O God," she answered taking deep breaths. "I didn't realize…"

"Obviously." Aaron opened the door fully clothed and stepped into the hallway. Emily wanted to deck him, but knew Pogue would want that honor himself.

"I'm going to go," he told Kate. He looked at Emily with an evil grin. "Unless Emily wanted to join us which is why she walked in without knocking."

"Go get laid!" Emily snapped.

"Already did." He turned Kate and pulled her to him. He then slammed his lips on her while he squeezed her ass. "I'll call you later about round two since you need to get back to your boyfriend."

"Don't bother," replied a voice behind them.

"Fuck," Emily swore under her breath.

"Pogue I can explain," Kate told him as she clung to him crying. He looked at Aaron and gently pushed her off.

"Not this time Kate," Pogue answered. "I can't do this any more." Pogue walked away.

"Pogue please," Kate begged. She went to grab him but Emily stepped in her way.

"After all the times I've defended you. I can't believe you've actually done this before and then go do it again."

"You don't understand!" She cried.

"Maybe I don't, but I bet you can understand me. Stay away from Pogue. Don't come near him. He'll find you if he or when he's ready to hear you apologize. If it was my call I'd leave you to screw around with this piece of shit over here. Luckily it's not my decision. But if you come near him so help me God I will hurt you." She left Kate standing there in nothing but a robe while the people in her hall came out to see what was wrong. Emily ran to catch up with Pogue and walked in on Caleb giving Pogue the keys to his car.

"Pogue what's wrong?" Caleb asked his best friend.

"I just need to drive to clear my head."

"No!" Emily snatched the keys out of his hands.

"Emily give them back," Pogue ordered calmly.

"I've seen you drive like this. You use way too much."

"Give them to me!" he yelled startling her a bit. She stood her ground and put the keys down the top of her dress. "I'll go down there, Emily. I really don't care."

"Pogue she isn't worth this," Emily told him calmly afraid he would snap any second. "Just think about what you're doing."

"Well I was just going to go for a drive but since you've interfered I can't can I." He took a step towards her and Reid stepped in front of her.

"Pogue Emily's right whatever Kate did it's not worth getting this upset over," Reid said. Caleb slid Sarah off his lap and went over to Pogue. He put a hand on his best friend.

"It can't be that bad," Caleb promised. "What did she do now, get pissed because you forgot your fifty two week anniversary?"

"Why don't you ask little Miss meddler. You know, Emily, I've never noticed when a pain in the ass you are until this past couple of weeks. 'Daddy this' or 'Caleb's mean' or my favorite 'Someone shouldn't be left alone just because they're sick'. God, you're such a meddling gossiping bitch." Tyler got off the bed and joined Reid in front of her. Kelly held out her hand to Sarah. She nodded and got off Emily's bed and sat with Kelly so they were farther from Pogue.

"Dude just chill," Tyler ordered.

"I will when I have the keys."

"Not happening," Emily replied. Pogue lunged for her. Caleb went to grab him but Pogue swept him onto the floor. Tyler went after him next but Pogue punched him in the stomach which made him fall. Caleb grabbed his leg from the floor and Pogue kicked him. Reid stood in front of her ready to defend her. Emily shoved him away not wanting Reid to get in the middle of Pogue's wrath. He grabbed her and violently shook her.

"Give me the keys!" Emily sent a forceful kicked his shin which made him let go of her. She fell into the desk and was then on the floor. She felt herself bleed. Pogue was on top of her in a second. She kicked and punched him as the other guys tried to get him off, but he elbowed them.

"Pogue stop!" Emily yelled at the top of her lungs. He punched her across the face with the hand that had a ring on it.

"Why did you do this!" He yelled red in the face. "First with Caleb now with and that consent teasing you give Reid." He punched her again. "You're putting us all at war." She looked up and saw Pogue's eyes were pure white. She closed her eyes as she felt another impact

"Get off her." Someone final got him off her. She rolled to one side and coughed up blood. She looked at the door to see that Keith held Pogue and pushed him put of the dorm. Reid and Caleb grabbed each of Pogue's arms as they pulled him away. Tyler and Keith (who both stood at the door) saw her struggling to get up. Tyler ran over to and knelt by her side.

"You okay baby girl?" Emily tried to nod but it hurt her face. "Shit! He really cut up your face."

"Why the hell was he beating my girl?" Keith asked pissed.

"I kinda walked in on Kate screwing Aaron and she came out of the dorm with him when Pogue was coming to her dorm. He wanted to drive Caleb's car, but knowing him he'd probably crash it so I wouldn't give him the keys and then things got out of hand."

"I'll say," Keith responded.

"I hate to leave but…" Sarah studied Emily's face that was bleeding.

"Go to Kate," Emily replied to Sarah. "She needs a friend. I might have said some brutal things. You should go to Kelly. There's a reason your going to make an amazing counselor one day."

"You sure?"

"Yea. Doctor Tyler will have me good as new." Kelly nodded and left the room with Sarah with a quick glance at her boyfriend and best friend.

"I'm pretty sure your going to need stitches," Tyler told her. "You may only need a butterfly on your lip but I'm going to have to clean your face to see if you need to go to the E.R. Where's the first aid kit."

"I'll get it," Emily told him. She went to the crowd that had formed outside the door to her dorm. She gave them the finger and then slammed the door in their faces.
