Disclaimer: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Emily and John are mine, the rest are not.
What's new?
A/N: Well, from last chapter I thought it would be pretty easy to guess who the mystery girl was. If you didn't guess, I'll tell you in this chapter. So read on my friends, read on.
Alex all of a sudden remembered who the girl was.
"Nice to see you again, Alex," she said.
"Same to you, Emily," he responded.
"What, you two know each other?" asked Todd.
"In a way," said Alex.
"How much is in a way?" asked Todd.
"Enough that we almost got married," explained Emily. "I should probably go. Thanks for trying to cheer me up, Todd. Have a good night, Alex."
"Oh, Em, you have to leave so soon? But Alex just got here."
"It's alright, Todd. We'd probably end up fighting again. Not a pretty sight," said Alex.
"He's right. Besides, my dad needs me at home. Goodbye," said Emily, and she left.
"So, are you two friends?" asked Alex.
"So, you two went out?" asked Todd.
"Yes, we did go out."
"What happened?"
"I'd rather not talk about it, if you don't mind."
"Sure. If that's what you want. We've only been friends for a little while. She's really nice. Real pretty too. Well, if your done with her, you wont mind if I take her out do you?"
Alex didn't know what to say. He didn't know if he could stand Emily going out with Todd. "Well, uh, I, uh…I don't know," he said.
"Great! She'll be sure to have a great time with me. I know how to cheer many women up. She told me about a man she went out with, that she loved a great deal. I never would have guessed she meant you! You really knew how to please her, you devil, you." Alex smiled weakly in response.
Emily was walking fast. She wanted to get out of there. She could kill Todd for trying to set her up with Alex. Of all people to choose, he had to pick Alex. God, how she missed him. All she ever needed to cheer her up was Alex. Then he had been there in the bar. She knew she should have stayed. Should have stayed and seen if he still loved her.
Ron had found Emily a few days after Alex called off the wedding. She had told him that she never wanted to see him again. He had ruined her life; he had killed the only love she had ever had. Emily hadn't seen Ron since.
She slowed down a bit. Maybe she should go back and talk to Alex. It wasn't too late. But what if he didn't want to talk to her. He had sounded like he wanted her to leave. And he was probably right about them getting into another fight. Last time they had talked was to fight.
Emily decided she would be better off to go home. She had just started walking again when she heard someone behind her.
"Emily, Emily, wait up!" She turned around. Alex. What did he want?
"What, Alex? Come to yell at me again?" She knew she was being rude, but for some reason she couldn't help it.
"No…I…no." He looked taken aback. "I just wanted to talk. I've been wanting to for a long time, but I never saw you, and then tonight…well, Todd was in the way."
"Talk about what? If it's to question about whether or not I had any relationship with Ron after you decided to leave me, you can just change your mind because I sent him away next time I saw him."
"That's not what I wanted to know. I figured that you wouldn't want him anyway."
"And how would you figure that?"
"I just…just…I thought about everything that had happened that day. About what you had said to me and I realized that you meant it. That you didn't like Ron and that he had probably come onto you. I knew you loved me and I acted like, well, like an ass."
"That you did, Alex O'Connell. So what now? Have you come to sweep me off my feet and hope I take you back? Hope that we can just continue with what we had?" asked Emily.
"Well, I didn't think we could do that very easily. But maybe we could try to start over. Have a new beginning. I really miss you, Em, and I know that we both have our bad days, everyone does. But the point is, I think we were meant to be together, and if we try, I think we will be."
Emily was silent for a minute. Alex thought she was going to refuse for a while. Then she said, "Well, hopefully we wont have to get lost in the desert again." And they both started laughing.
"Can I walk you home, Miss Huellger?" asked Alex.
"Yes, you can Mr. O'Connell." And so, Alex and Emily made up, and became friends once more. Friends with feelings for each other that were more than friends, but friends all the same.
A/N: don't worry that's not the end of the story. I still have ideas! It's just getting through the boring parts to get to the ideas. Soon something will happen. I promise.
