When Emma got home from a very long walk, with two guys on her mind, she huffed in stress as she closed the door behind her. They all had plans for the movies today but even Manny had ditched her.
When she walked in though, and down the stairs to her room, she saw the tears down Manny's cheeks and she looked up at Emma just so sadly.
Emma's mouth dropped, "Manny.."
"Where WERE you last night!" Manny cried, shaking her head and shut her eyes, "You don't even know what I went through."
Emma went over to her quickly and pulled her into a hug, "Just breath, tell me everything." she cringed, wishing she knew what was wrong
She never seen Manny look so upset, other than well, that time she had an abortion.
Manny sobbed, "Craig was back in town, a-and high on whatever the hell he's on." she sneered and then choked on her tears, "And he kissed me out of nowhere, a-and Spinner walked in just as he kissed me at the party. I didn't kiss him though, Em!"
"I believe you!" Emma insisted, pulling her into another hug, "You just have to tell that to Spinner."
"He's not answering any of my calls."
Emma frowned deeply, "Well then he's an idiot."
"Is he?" bittered Manny, "With my reputation?"
"Manny, nobody thinks that way of you anymore."
"Are you kidding? Maybe I had a chance before Peter put a tape of me out there but not anymore. I'll always be the towns slut. And the only guy whose ever truly loved me for me, never wants to see my face again," her face went red in anger, gripping the pillow in her lap madly, "GOD I HATE CRAIG!" she whipped the pillow at their dresser.
Emma blinked and put her hands on Manny's shoulders, "Manny, sweetie, calm down." she said softly and then dropped her hands, frowning deeply.
Manny took a deep breath, nodding and trying to do so but saw Emma biting her lip guilty like and giving her a look like she had something to say.
"What?"
Emma jumped, and then thought it over and shook her head, "Nothing."
"Em.." whined Manny, "Don't do this to me today."
"Fine." Emma huffed and sat up more, "You wanna feel better? Listen to this. I think I can beat you in this 'slut' competition."
Manny gave her a warnful glare.
"Seriously.." grumbled Emma and confessed, "IhadsexwithJay."
Mannys eyes widened, hearing exactly what Emma said even if she did say it rather quickly and breathlessly, "EMMA!" she shouted.
Emma squealed being pushed down onto Manny's bed with Manny ontop of her, shaking her shoulders madly
"Are you crazy!?"
"Possibly!" Emma admitted with a somewhat look of amusement over that.
Manny had to burst into laughter and Emma tried not to laugh but joined and Manny raised an eyebrow, "So was he like this.." she made a pose on top of Emma.
"MANNY!"
"Or like this." she fell down beside Emma and pulled the blonde on top who grabbed a pillow and sat over Manny, hitting her in the face with it and got up.
"Neither!"
Manny was laughing hysterically, and Emma shook her head rolling her eyes but still laughing and blushing madly.
She fell on her own bed and sighed rather happily
Manny then bit her lip and calmed down, softening at Emma as the blonde turned her head and they locked eyes. They seemed to remember Emma was with Sean, and shouldn't be giggling about this. Emma then was suddenly looking upset, and she stared up at the cieling.
Manny got up and walked to her, sitting on the side of Emma's bed, "What are you and Sean gonna do?"
Silence.
"I think he's with Ellie right now.." Emma drifted off quietly, eyes still up on the cieling and a small tear slipped down the corner of her eye since now she could admit out loud to someone else.
Manny frowned seeing it and Emma whipped it away and sniffed.
"Remember when I asked you if you loved Sean before?" Manny asked Emma
Emma frowned and tried to remember. Oh jeeze, that was so long ago, before the shooting. It was when Alex had walked up to Emma in school, and Emma was a nervous wreck thinking she had found out about Jay and her fooling around. Turned out it was Alex sticking up for Ellie, and she shoved Sean infront of Emma that day, telling her he still wanted her. Emma went back home, crying, upset that she had thought Alex had really found out about Jay but it was only about Sean. She remembered her and Manny's talk..
FLASHBACK
"Do you love him?" Manny whispered.
Emma cried harder, shaking her head no. She wasn't even sure what love was. But no, she did NOT love Sean Cameron. She knew that much
"I wish he'd just go away." Emma cried harder into her pillow.
Manny hugged Emma tighter and went to open her mouth as her next question that raced through her mind but she decided against it...asking Emma if she loved Jay right now, would be just too stressful.
END OF FLASHBACK.
"Maybe I was never inlove with Sean," Emma grumbled into her pillow, "But I thought we atleast had some mutual respect, and atleast good chemistry but I guess our history isn't even worth him trying to save."
"Maybe you guys still can save your relationship." Manny said helpfully, "Maybe...it's better if you guys were friends?"
Emma looked over at Manny and snickered, "and let him be with Ellie and I die alone?"
"You won't die alone, Em." giggled Manny, slapping her shoulder silly, "We're still young. You still have a chance to find the one." she bit her lip and wondered, was it time to ask Emma if she loved Jay?
"Girls! Dinner!" came Spikes voice upstairs.
Manny grumbled. Maybe another time..
"Lets go." she pulled Emma up who groaned but went with her.
Meanwhile, Jay was on his couch as he couldn't stop his own memories from highschool cloud his brain... he was alone at the house today, and couldn't get her off his mind
The tv was on, but something else was playing in his head..a moment between him and Emma.
Jay had got out a cigarette from his pocket and gave a small cackle as he put it in his mouth and talked from the corner of his mouth, "We had a deal." he muttered loudly and began to light the smoke.
Emma wrinkled her nose in disgust. She was so young then, only 15.
As he inhaled, his fingers took the smoke away from his lips, "Every other day for lunch, we're friends, Nelson. Deal with it."
"This deal isn't logical!" Emma insisted and grabbed the cigerette before he put it back in his mouth, "Nor healthy.." she taunted, putting the cigerette out-
"Hey!"
"..For my mind or lungs." she finished with a fake smile then frowned as she got up and grabbed her water bottle, leaving.
Jay smirked softly, remembering from day one Emma was his little feisty girl, but at the same time, he could be his sweet little innocent Greenpeace.
The door knocked and Jay got up, walking over to it.
He opened the door and stared, for his eyes to then glare and sneer, "you."
Ellie stood there with wide eyes and looked around him, "I-Is Sean here?"
"No." spat Jay and crossed his arms, leaning on the doorframe.
Ellie looked down and swallowed hard, she knew her and Jay were never 'friends' but why glare daggers? He glared at her like she had done something personally wrong to him.
"Can I wait here for him?"
"You have a lot of fucking nerve, Nash." Jay told her, raising an eyebrow.
Ellie looked around the neighbourhood and was glad it was late, and nobody outside to hear them. She looked back at Jay, "You don't understand everything."
Jay raised his finger, "Seans with Emma." he raised another, "He's cheating on her," another, "with you." he raised both his eyebrows while crossing his arms, "Did I get everything?" he spat.
Her mouth dropped until she glared, "Why do you care what he does with me or Emma? You dislike anyone who dates Sean! You just want him to be a narcissist player and cheater like you." she spat.
Jay snickered and then shrugged, "He's got the cheater part down already, Nash. And what does this all make you, huh? A slut? Emma's never done anything to you so whats your reason to wanna hurt her and your own reputation?" his voice raised louder
"I'm inlove with him. You don't get it!"
"I don't get it?"
"You don't! It's hard being away from the one you love!"
Jay took a step forward and she jumped back and stared at he yelled, "You don't think I understand that?! Try staying far away from someone you love just because you care about them and don't wanna fuck them up. Actually, why dont you try that? Might make everything better." he taunted.
Ellie was shocked, and more by the fact Jay said he had been in love, or has? Or whatever...
"I know what I'm doing to Emma isn't fair, but Its too late now."
"Hows it too late?" he bittered.
Ellie snapped, "I'm pregnant!"
Jay's eyes widened and they heard movement behind them. They both turned and Sean stood on the porch steps, staring back at them. He was as pale as a ghost.
"Your...what?" Sean asked her.
REVIEWS GUYS! What do you want to happen?!
