Mr. Moran tried to pull his daughter back, but simply didn't have anything left in him. Just that morning, his daughter and wife had been poking fun and laughing in the hall of the house. And now, his wife was gone forever. He had absolutely nothing left in the tank.

From the floor, Emma silently pleaded with the boys to go and take Gavin home. They hesitated, but reluctantly agreed. The day had been exhausting for everyone, and the faster Gavin got home, the better. And they were feeling the same heavy atmosphere as Emma had earlier. It felt like the entire world was pressing down on them, and they thought it best if they leave.

Gia confronted Emma once the boys had left and she had picked herself up off the floor. "Where did you go?! Where were you? I needed you, and you left me. This has been the worst day of my life, and you weren't even here."

"Gia, I-"

"Save it. I know your brother is more important to you than I am. You told me his arrival wouldn't change things between us, but clearly you were wrong."

Emma hung her head. "You were the one who told me to prioritize my relationship with him, and his health. He needed me, Gia."

"Yeah, well I needed you too. I needed you more than he did, and you were absolutely nowhere to be found. He was here for a routine treatment. He's here for it all the damn time. Gavin knows exactly where to go and what he needs to do, he doesn't need you to coddle him. It wasn't his first time around the block. My mother died today, and you still chose him over me."

The pink ranger knew her best friend wasn't in her right mind. She knew Gia didn't mean anything she was saying, but it still hurt to hear. Gia continued her verbal assault on the pink ranger.

"My mother had been there for you through the worst part of your life, and took care of you when your own mother decided you weren't worth the effort. Now she's gone, and you can't even be there." She spit the last part in Emma's face.

"It's your fault she's dead."

Emma felt like the air had been sucked clean out of her. "Gia, you don't mean that."

Her best friend nodded vigorously. "No, I do. I mean it completely. Do you know why she went to work so late today? Because she stopped to talk to me about you. She was worried about you, and was asking why you never came over anymore. All she wanted was to make sure you were doing okay, because as soon as Gavin came here, you decided no one else in your life was important. She had done everything for you, and she had been a mother to you, and you can't even be bothered to stop by or let her know how you're doing? She left late because she was talking to me about having you come over, so she could see you again. She loved you, and you did nothing to repay the favor. Instead, you got her killed. If she had just left to work on time, she wouldn't have been at that light when the drunk asshole ran it and caused the explosion that killed her."

Every word hit Emma harder than any monster or mutant ever could. She forced out a whisper. "I'm sorry. I-"

Gia cut her off. "I hope you realize what you've done. Your complete neglect for the people who cared for you when you were lost is why we're here. It should have been you."

"Gia Moran, that's enough." From the moment Gia had shoved Emma, her father had become almost despondent. It's like the world had stopped spinning. But listening to that last comment shook him out of his stupor and he cut in before his daughter could do any more damage. "We're going home now. You're done."

The yellow ranger turned on her heel and stormed off. She didn't know where her dad had parked, and just started heading off in a random direction. Jack turned to Emma. "I'm sorry I didn't step in sooner... I just don't know what to do without Jenna here. I'm lost and I have no idea what to do anymore. I don't know how to help Gia either. I'm sure she didn't mean anything she said, it's just been a lot for all of us."

Emma nodded quietly. She did what she had always done in the past. She just took the abuse. Whether it was physical or verbal, Emma had learned that fighting back was a losing battle.

Mr. Moran looked and saw Gia about to turn the wrong corner, and wanted to stop her from getting lost. Before he left, he turned to Emma and gave her a hug. While Mrs. Moran had been a bit of a mother figure to Emma, the same could be said about Mr. Moran being almost like a father to her.

Jenna's death hurt everyone in this situation, and he hated to leave the girl he had come to love out to dry. "I'm sorry, Emma. Really. We'll talk about everything together when she has calmed down a little bit... I need to make sure she gets to the car safe, it's getting dark out. Do you have any way to get home?"

Emma returned the hug halfheartedly and whispered back. "I'll figure something out."

With one last squeeze, Jack left to go tend to his daughter. Once he left, Emma stumbled back until her back hit a wall. She slid down and buried her head into her knees, unable to deal with everything that was happening to her.

She didn't know how long she had been sitting there crying, but she was brought out of it by someone tapping her shoulder gently. She looked up and saw Jake looking at her, concerned.

"I take it things with Gia are a little hard right now?" Emma didn't respond.

Jake grabbed her hand and pulled her to her feet. "It's been three hours, Em. It's eight at night right now. You shouldn't be out this late, especially by yourself. It's been hours since you came home and Gavin started to worry, so he called me to look for you. He's really worried about you, you know. We should get you home."

Emma just nodded silently and began the long journey home.
