***A/N*** Thank you to those of you who have written reviews so far. I
uploaded a whole lot of chapeters at once this Sun cuz they were piling up
on my other computer. I don't really have time to write indivisuals, sorry,
Look for the next update on Fri.***
That night, Emma found herself sitting next to Ash, across from Jimmy and Craig ina booth at the Rock n' Roll Hamburger Joint. Jimmy and Craig kept going on and on about a hockey game on t.v. last night.
"Excuse me, I have to go to the ladie's room. Wanna come Ash?"
"Uh, sure." Ash answerd as they scooted out of the booth.
Once inside the wash room, Emma and Ash primped in front of the mirror. Emma took a deep breath and turned to Ash. She hated Manny's crazy plans.
"Ash, I'm really worried about Jimmy."
"What's wrong? Is he okay?" Ash asked with concern.
'I guess that answers the question of weather or not she cares about him still' Lauren thought to herself. Then outloud said "Oh yeah, he's fine. It's just that, I think that he still likes you. he always talks about you. And I don't want to be with someone who's stuck on thier ex girlfriend."
Ash looked at her funny for a few minutes. "Don't worry, I'll talk to him." she replied. "Just stay in here for about a minute more and then come out."
"Kay." Said Emma worriedly. Ash left and Emma watched the seccond hand on her wrist watch tick slowly. Finally it had passed a minute and she bolted out of the bathroom and sat back down.
"Where's Jimmy and Ash?" Emma asked Craig.
"They went outside to talk or something." Craig replied, shrugging. "We might as well go meet up with them outside, I need to get home anyway."
Emma and Craig walked outside and across the street where they could vaguely make out Jimmy and Ash. As Emma got closer she realised that they were kissing. She looked crestfallen upon the couple and dashed away just as Jimmy looked up.
"Emma, wait!" he said, making no move to run after her.
"What's your problem man?" Craig asked. " You don't go out with your girlfriend and then end up hooking up with your friend's date. I think Sean has the right idea about you."
Craig walked stiffly away. He walked untill he got to Emma's house. She was sitting on the stoop, crying.
"Hey, come on, don't cry. Jimmy's an ass. You don't need him." Craig said, sitting down next to her on the stoop and rubbing her back.
"This is all Manny's fault." Emma sniffled.
"How is this Manny's fault?" Criagf asked confused. Emma filled him in on what had really happened tonight and why. Craig looked appaled.
"Well you can tell Manny it doesn't matter what kind of stunt she pulls. We're over. For good. I couldn't ever go out with someone who's willing to put her best friend's happyness ont he line for her own."
"I agreed to do it though. I'm so stupid." Emma berated herself.
"You're not stupid. You're the smartest, most caring person I know." Craig said.
"You're just saying that."
"No I'm not. I mean it." Craig said, leaning towards Emma and giving her a kiss.
"Woah." Emma said dumbfounded. "Gotta go, bye!" She ran up the steps into her house, leaving Craig on the stoop, chuckling to himself.
