This chapter picks up directly from where the last one left off.
I sat up and looked at him. "Wait a second... what was up with Lara? Why was she hanging all over you?"
The calmness and the relief passed, and the fury came flooding back to me.
"It's not what you think," he said.
"Then what was it?" I asked.
He sighed. "She said she wanted me back, but she just wanted to make Jay jealous. It didn't mean anything," he said.
"It meant something to me," I said, standing up.
"Emma...." He said. "What's going on? I thought you were over this."
"I see the guy I slept with in a lip-lock with another girl and you think I'm going to get over it this easily? I don't think so," I said. I turned to walk away.
"Emma...wait," he grabbed my arm. "I didn't mean to, I'm sorry."
"You were my first. I love you, and I always will. But it's obvious that you don't feel the same way I do," I wiped a tear from my eye quickly.
"Emma...I do," he stood to wipe my tears away. "I love you."
"I can't do this," I told him. "It's either Lara or me, so choose."
"I choose..."
"No," I cut him off. "Not now. Think about it. Tell me in the morning." With that, I walked off.
I walked down the dark sidewalk, hugging my arms.
"Well," I heard a voice say. "Looky at who we have here."
I turned and saw Lara standing there. "What do you want, Lara?"
"I just want to know when you are going to stop chasing Sean. Its obvious he wants me," she said with her hands on placed on her hips.
"I don't know what you are talking about," I said. "Sean loves me."
"If he loves you then why does he keep coming to me? Why does he keep coming to my bed in the middle of the night?"
Her words pierced my heart and she knew it.
"What, environment girl has nothing to say? Well that's a first."
"Shut up Lara," I told her.
She gasped. "Oh my God...she said the S word!!!"
She was making me so mad. "Listen to me you little slut...I love Sean and he loves me. It's not our fault you won't quit coming on to him."
"Oh whatever. Emma you saw him that day, he couldn't keep his hands off me."
"I've seen you two alright, and all I've ever seen is you and your sluty body rubbing all over him and ya know what? He never looked like he wanted it. Face it. He's not interested in you."
She took a deep breath. "You know what...I don't have time for this. But we'll see who wins," she said before walking off.
