Authors notes: So I have good news and bad news. Good news is, I UPDATED. YEAH! Bad news is that J.T. didn't make it into this chapter. I had originally planned on 3 different scenes in this chapter but was having trouble figuring out the 3rd scene about J.T. I figured it was better to update with the first 2 scenes and then figure out the third scene and make it the next chapter instead. Hope you enjoy.

Emma had almost fallen asleep when she heard the front door of her apartment open and shut loudly. She then heard someone stumbling around the kitchen and a few things fall to the floor. She opened her sleepy eyes and saw that the clock read 2:00am. She figured Jay had finally made it home and was most likely a lot more inebriated then when she had seen him a few hours earlier.

She was much too tired to get out of bed and make sure everything was okay. She closed her eyes for a moment and had almost fallen asleep again when she heard him open their bedroom door. Emma pretended she was asleep. Well it wasn't really pretending. She almost was asleep.

She still had mixed emotions from the events earlier in the night. She couldn't help but wonder why she had a slight bit of jealousy when she saw Sean looking at Jess. Emma had chosen to leave Sean. She had no right to feel jealous that he had moved on. But still the sight of seeing him happy with some other girl tormented her inside.

Jay took off his shirt and pulled off his jeans so he was just in his boxers. He climbed in bed with Emma trying not to wake her. He wouldn't admit it to her but he loved coming to bed after she had already fallen asleep. It gave him a chance to look at her and truly admire her beauty. Sometimes he would stay up for a while thinking how lucky he was to have her.

"I know you're sleeping but I just want you to know that I love you so much Em." Jay whispered aloud slowly rubbing his fingers across her arm. Usually he kept his thoughts unspoken. Maybe it was because he was drinking but tonight he was unable to contain himself. "I don't even know if you realize how much I love you. I would do anything for you. You make me a better person. You give me a purpose. Sometimes I used to wonder why you would you waste your time on a low life like me. I brought so much trouble to your life when we were younger. All I can figure is that you're an angel disguised as a beautiful woman."

Jay placed a small kiss on her forehead feeling better that he had told her what he felt even though he thought she hadn't heard him. He rolled over and within minutes was snoring.

Emma stayed still. She knew Jay loved her. She could feel it. But he rarely told her. She always chalked it up to him being a man and him being unable to express his feelings. To hear those sweet words from him meant the world to her. Momentarily her jealousy of Sean and his girlfriend disappeared as she was reminded how lucky she was to have a guy like Jay in her life. She rolled over and cuddled up with her fiancée also falling fast asleep.

Sean and Jess burst into their hotel bedroom laughing. They really had an enjoyable time at Spinner's party minus the part where Sean had ducked out for a little while. It had been a while since they had had that much fun together.

Jess sprawled out on to the bed and turned on the television as Sean headed to the bathroom to get a drink of water and brush his teeth.

"I can't believe you used to have a pet Ferret." Jess called in after him recalling the story Spinner had told her about. She knew Sean wasn't much of an animal lover unless it came to dogs. Just the thought of him having to look after a small rodent made her laugh.

"I already told you it wasn't my idea." Sean called back to her. "What was I supposed to do? Give him to the SPCA? He was so ugly I don't even think they'd take him." Sean looked at himself in the bathroom mirror as he popped a few Advil hoping to prevent a hangover the next morning.

"I'm getting hungry. I think I want to order a pizza. Do you want some?" Jess called from the bed.

"Sure. The phone book is in the drawer of the nightstand." Sean called back to her.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth he knew he had made a huge mistake. It was too late. There was no time to stop her. He waited for a reaction from her but all he heard was silence.

He slowly emerged back to the main part of the hotel room. In Jess's hands was the box of condoms and Emma's underwear.

He would have done anything to take away the look of disappointment he saw on her face. He hadn't meant to hurt her.

"Listen Jess…I can explain." Sean started.

"Save it Sean." Jess hollered throwing the box of condoms and underwear to the floor. She headed to the corner of the room where she had all of her things and started throwing them into her duffle bag.

"I didn't mean for it to happen." Sean admitted hoping those words would stop her from packing.

"So you accidentally slept with another woman?" Jess retorted turning around to face him.

"We didn't even sleep together. It didn't make it that far. Emma and I were just sitting here talking and it just kind of happened." Sean admitted.

"So the woman you almost accidentally slept with was Emma?" Jess yelled. "The same Emma that left you when your baby was born. The same Emma that never called for four years to check up on her daughter. The same Emma that is marrying your best friend. You're telling me that you almost accidentally slept with her?"

Sean could see Jess was getting very angry. All he could tell her was the truth. There was no point in lying now. "Yes."

"How could you Sean? After everything she's done to you. How could you even let her near you?" Jess asked.

"Emma used to be a big part of my life Jess. You already know that. I wish I could take back what happened. I'm so sorry." Sean said. He walked over to Jess who had tears trickling down her cheeks. He tried to hug her to comfort her but she pushed him away.

"Don't touch me Sean. You and I are done." Jess hollered.

The reality of losing another girl in his life hit Sean hard. "Please Jess. Don't end this. I…I…I love you."

For the first time in their 3 year relationship Jess heard the words she had waited so long to hear. She had dreamed of the day that Sean would finally say those three words. Unfortunately it didn't mean anything to her now. "It's too late Sean. I can't forgive you for this."

Jess finished packing her bag and headed towards the hotel room door. She turned around one last time as Sean spoke. "Isn't there anything I can do to stop you from leaving?" Sean asked in desperation.

"There isn't." Jess said. "If it was some random girl than maybe. But I know part of you still loves her. Don't come running back to me when she hurts you again."

Sean nodded trying to take in what Jess said.

"And Sean?"

"Yes Jess."

"She will hurt you again." And with that Jess opened the hotel room door and left. Sean fell back on to the bed feeling the repercussions of possibly the biggest mistake of his life.

DRAMA! DRAMA! DRAMA! I love DRAMA! Lol...hope you all enjoyed.
