Emma blinked of out it when someone passed between him and her, it's like they'd been staring at another for a minute now.
Jay nodded at the person, they were carrying drinks for guests and Jay happily toook a bottle of beer.
He eyed Emma up and down when they were alone again and taunted, "Went to jail for robbing, now murder." he shot at her.
Emma snapped out of it and spoke up but quietly, "Sorry.. I just don't know if I say hi to you or.."
"Run away?" he asked.
No, more like kiss you.. Emma thought.
He snickered, leaning back on the balcony and opened his beer, "Go ahead you want, you were good at it."
Emma breathlessly laughed, unbelievable!
"We're really going to be like that?"
"Get this straight." he snapped at her, whirling back to her and off the railing and she jumped by his snap and sudden closeness, "Only reason I am playing nice with you."
Emma looked down, he said 'you' like he was so disgusted with her.
"Is cause sadly you're maid of honor for Manny, and I'm the best man." he sneered at her, shaking his head, "other than having to do stupid wedding shit and having small pretend chit chat.. that's all I need from you."
He eyes held not fire, but fumes, and he looked off the balcony once done with that and Emma bit her tounge, fighting the urge to cry. Well, guess she deserved that..
"That's all I wanted." Emma lied, turning her eyes to the dark sky sadly as he snapped his eyes back at her, a mad expression turning to an unreadable one as he sighed, and turned back towards her, lighting one more smoke.
Guess he was pretty stressed tonight..
He lit it as she snuck a glance back, watching him do so and for being so damn against smoke and even second hand, he made it look so damn good. As it escaped his lips, he looked down, running his fingers through he now bit darker hair.
He was so different, Emma could just see it. He was always a bad ass but now he was really tough, and stronger, a real man..
"Good." he finally spoke, his voice making her heart beat faster again.
God it's been too long.
He nodded, flicking his cigerette, "We'll get this wedding shit done and over with, and you go back to whatever the hell you were doing, and I'll go back to trying to run my shop."
Emma looked down, eyes scanning the floor as she thought and remembered Sean had said they went halfs on an auto shop. Wow, he was living his dream, without her. Guess she couldn't give him the things he needed.
She nodded slowly, looking back up to him, "Fine." she cracked out.
Smoke almost angerily escaped both his nose and mouth, as he flicked his cigerette over the balcony and shook his head madly, "no, don't do that." he snapped at her.
"What?!" she exclaimed. God, how much more horrible did he want to make her feel!?
"Act like I'm the asshole here." he sneered, stepping right infront of her, "Poor you huh? Getting yelled at?" he snickered most angrily, "Spend a few months in prison and see if you could last that"
"I ruined your life I get it!" Emma cried, trying to fight her tears
Jay squinted his eyes madly on her, hating the way she was trying to make HIM feel bad.
"I can't say sorry though." Emma breathed, "Cause I know it's not en-ough." her voice cracked again and she looked away from him, finding it so hard now to look at him without feeling guilt.
His chest raised up and down vividly, trying to control his anger on feeling himself actually feeling for her.
"Wipe the tears, Emma." he whispered hoarsely at her, looking away.
Emma closed her eyes, shaking her head. Where was her Jay? Cause it wasn't her Jay anymore.. but he'd never talk to her like this before..
"Guys!" Manny said, coming outside and snapped, "We can hear you from in there." she pointed inside.
Emma looked sadly at her, passing a sorry look and gazed back at Jay, who just glared from her to Manny but nodded, and went back inside.
Manny sadly squeezed her her hands thumb with her other hand, passing Emma a sad smile and turned, walking away.
Emma whipped the tears that had finally fallen.
"I'm glad you called." purred the girl Jay had met the first night out of jail, the girl from the bar.
She sat on his lap, he now shirtless and sitting in his hotel room, gazing down at her with no emotion as she slowly unzipped his pants, giving him a look of want.
May? June? Her name was one of the months. . he didn't fu-
Jay closed his eyes, clenching his teeth a bit as whatshername went down on him, sucking him into her mouth slowly and deeply, and she bobbed her head up and down.
The next week, Emma went shopping with Manny to find the perfect dress and trailed behind her and Darcy, talking and gossiping and giggling so much but she just couldn't find the energy to do it.
"Em, hurry up!" called Manny, opening her dress shops door and Emma ran a little to catch up and ran inside.
"That is the one." gushed Darcy, sitting beside Emma on a nice white couch, watching Manny twirl infront of a three part mirror and covered her mouth.
Manny loved it, and teared up, turning to her friends nodded up and down, "it is! It's the one.. the very first dress I put on." she turned back, gawking her dress, "It's perfect."
Emma smiled sadly, nodding, a little bit of jealousy hitting her down in her stomach but that was normal for a .. bitter, sad, lonely - Emma snapped out of it, normal for a single girl! She meant.
"It's the one." Emma agreed, smiling happily for Manny who squeeled, jumping up and down.
"Ma'am! Ma'am please me careful!" the clerk said to Manny, begging.
"woops." Manny stopped and giggled.
Meanwhile, the guys were at Sean and Jay's auto shop.. and it was called exactly that.
Jay had his hat and sunglasses on and smirked, glancing to Sean from outside their shop, "Clever." he joked to Sean.
"He worked very hard on that title." Spinner insisted from behind the two.
Sean laughed and shrugged, "We can change it if you want."
Jay shrugged too, slapping Sean's shoulder before holding the door for them to go inside, "No man, it's great."
They walked inside and nodded, seeing everything redone and they were ready to open their new car repair shop.
"Cool." Spinner simply noted.
Sean agreed back, "Cool."
"Cool." mocked Jay, taunting the guys but with a smirk and glad to be back to hanging out with them.
The 3 girls now sat outside a restaurant on it's patio, and drank some alchohlic ceasers to celebrate Manny's found dress.
"Last weekend was the best weekend ever." Darcy told them, wanting to tell about her news of sleeping with Kelly
"Oh yeah, did you go home with Kelly?" Manny asked curiously
Emma giggled a little, shaking her head and sipped her ceaser as Darcy blushed a beamed.
Manny turned to Emma, going serious, "How are you by the way? I'm sorry I've been busy."
Emma shrugged like it didn't matter, but she did wish Manny had time to talk about her problems but... that wasn't needed right now, it was Manny's time it was all suppose to be about her.
"Hey," Darcy pointed, "There are the boys over there."
They turned their heads, seeing Jay lock up the shop as Spinner and Sean noticed them too.
Manny waved them over as Emma scoffed, looking away as they came on over.
Jay slowed down, seeing Emma there too as the guys told him to follow. He pierced his lips together and took his sunglasses off and onto the top of his shirt, hanging them there as he sat not right across, but near her.
"Hey baby" Sean grinned, pulling a chair next to Manny under the patio's umbrella and kissed her softly as she smiled back.
"Hey there." the waitress said, coming over.
"Well helloooo." sang Spinner, eyeing her up and down in her little black skirt and tank top, small white apron around her wait and long blonde pin straight hair with betty bangs. She was cute, the red lipstick was a little much though, but she suit it. Kinda like a pin up girl.
She giggled, glancing around and her eyes fell on Jay, sizing him up as she asked everyone, "I'm Taylor, what can I get you guys today?" she asked.
Sean sipped Manny's ceaser to see how it tastes and cringed, "Not that." he said in disgust.
Jay effortless grabbed the small drink menu on the table and scanned it quickly, "Blue's pitcher." he informed, tossing it back on the table.
Emma glanced at him and up at her as she smiled oddly at him before looking to Spinner for his order. Emma frowned, she knew that look.. Jay use to make her blush and smile like that, hell, he probably still could if he tried.
He wouldn't. He hated her now.
"Pitcher of Canadian." Spinner said, nodding at the waitress then nudged his ex too manly like, "Hey Darc." he noddded, "YOu hook up with Emma's date last weekend?"
Darcy ugh'd but then blushed and Emma's mouth fell, "Not my date!" the blonde exclaimed for the 100th time.
"Alright, sorry!" Spinner lifted his hands in defense.
Sean laughed a little and even Jay let a small chuckle before getting his beer and moved forward, thanking the waitress and pouring a glass. Emma snuck a glare at him, oh wasn't his day just moving along PERFECTLY.
Sean finally ordered something for himself, "round of tequlia shots please."
Manny raised an eyebrow at him, "Oh really?"
He smirked, nodding to Jay, "Our shops ready to open tomorrow morning." he explained.
"Ohhhhh babe" Manny dragged on, hugging him, "I'm so proud of you!"
Emma grabbed the sunglasses on her head and put them on before they saw her roll her eyes and glare, and Jay filled his cup faster and took a chug.
The waitress left to get Spinners order and the shots.
Darcy, embarrassingly enough, continued about Kelly, "I don't know why you let me have him, but I am deeply greatful..." she declared and shrugged her shoulder to Emma, "And sorry you missed out." she giggled, "who knew he'd want little ol' me."
How badly Emma wanted to crawl Darcy's eyes out for saying this infront of Jay. She didn't give a shit about Kelly! Have him ! Just shut up about him!
"Well.. "drifted Jay out loud, taking a sip and swallowing it, "He seemed desperate."
Emma blinked and appreciated she put on her sunglasses, or he'd see the small tears in her eyes. He use to be mean.. but when'd he get cruel?
Darcy stuck her nose up at him as Spinner laughed, since he wasn't exactly on best terms with Darcy so that was funny.
"Shots!" the waitress said, leaning over Jay to rest the shot glasses on the table. Her ass basically almost in his face..and probably purposely.
Emma got up quickly, not being able to watch this anymore, "Going to the bathroom." she muttered and walked off.
The friends just continued to laugh and cheered another, and the waitress stood back up, smiling to Jay who narrowed his eyes curiously to the door Emma left out of.
Emma was in the bathroom now and splashed water on her face and stood up, staring at her reflection in the mirror. She wore light blue skinny jeans, small wedge heels, and a yellow strapless top. Her hair was in a pony tail and she just felt.. ugly. She tried to take her hair down, but it had a gross kink in it where the pony tail was and she sadly put it back up, putting her sunglasses back on her head.
After a deep breath, she got out of the washroom and walked down the hall that led her back for Jay turn around the corner, bumping hard into her and she smacked back against the wall as he quickly tried to catch her waist but her head was what smacked against it.
Emma scoffed, painfully rubbing the back of her head as he gazed down at her hard.
"You okay?" he asked.
"Yeah." Emma spat out, knowing he didn't care and took a step to the right so he'd let go of her, and he did, putting his hand on his hip and the other scratching that tiny beard of his.
Who was Emma kidding? She couldn't get him back even if she did have the nerve.. this wasn't highschool anymore, there was 1000 other girls and 100 already lining up for him. He was man now and she was some silly college sorority girl, just turned 19 and he 21 in less than two weeks.
"What do you want?" Emma shrugged, watching him just stand there with her.
He blinked and looked around, "Getting another shot." he declared like she should of known.
"Bars that way.." she drifted, giving him a weird look as she pointed the way they had to go to go back to the patio.. and the bar was RIGHT there.. How'd he miss that?
"Oh." he simply said, turning from her and stalked off
Emma returned first to the table, and grabbed her tequlia quickly as she sat down.
"Woah, go Emma." joked Manny as Emma shook her body in disgust and put it on the table.
Jay got back and walked around, sitting across again and put his sunglasses back on, "I'm going to head out." he told the guys.
Sean nodded at him and raised his glass, "Farewell." he joked,
The waitress from before came up behind Jay as he finished his beer, "It's really unprofessional but.." she leaned over his shoulder, putting a card down, "Here's my number."
She waited til he took it from her hands into his fingers, and he smirked, who knew where his eyes were looking since his effin glasses were on, but he looked down from the paper and up to her as she went to leave, and merely nodded.
She blushed and waved softly, walking off.
Emma couldn't do this. She couldn't be around Jay if this was what it was going to be like all the time. This was hell.
Dreams last so long
even after you're gone
I know you love me
And soon you will see
You were meant for me
And I was meant for you.
(jewel- meant for me)
