(A/N: first i'm just gonna clear a few things up for some of my reviewers
who were confused: Paige was the one who got the drink w/ the drug in it.
so yes, she took the drug, not Manny. Manny is drunk after beginning to
drink some beer around chap 3 i think. Ok well now that we've established
that, let's continue!)
Paige slowly came out of the washroom. She sighed and began to make her way back over to her friends. But since she was so pre-occupied thinking about everything that was going on, she accidentally bumped into someone. She looked up and saw JT in front of her. "Oh. Sorry."
"That's alright. So, what have you been up to tonight?"
"Just...nothing, I'm fine." Paige said realizing that he didn't ask her if she was fine.
JT had a confused look on his face. "Okay...so uh, you wanna go get a drink or something?"
Paige seemed pretty uncomfortable.
"Or, uh, not. If you don't want to." JT continued.
"No, no, fine. I don't wanna go back to my idiot boyfriend with loser and company over there."
"Wh – are you mad at them or something? What happened?"
"Everything, happened. Just get me my drink, okay?"
JT nodded as he reluctantly led Paige over to the drinks.
Meanwhile, Emma thought she would give another shot at talking to Chris. She was so mad at Sean. 'Ugh, that's the last time I'm helping him. You try to save his life, and he makes it so everyone thinks you're back together with him!' Emma knew that none of that made sense and that it really wasn't Sean's fault that everyone was suddenly gossiping about them, but she was just so confused and angry. Finally, she approached Chris. "Hey."
Chris sighed and looked down. "Em..." he said as he looked back up.
"Chris, I'm really, really, sorry. I mean, wait, no, there's actually nothing to be sorry about. That's the thing. You see –"
"I know what happened, Emma."
"No, you don't! Didn't you see –"
"I saw –"
"You saw me warning him about them!"
"Who?"
Emma pointed behind Chris where Jay had just walked by. "Them!" But by the time Chris turned around, they were gone. Just two girls were left. Chris turned back to Emma with a confused look and said, "Who? Brooke and Anna?"
"No! They – they just left!"
"WHO?"
"His dumb gang!"
"What, Jay and them?"
"Yes!" Emma sighed. "God, why is it so hard to tell you ANYTHING?"
Chris rolled his eyes. "Okay, whatever, Em."
Emma froze. She had no idea what Chris meant by that.
"Yeah, fine, you had to 'warn Sean' about his own gang." Chris continued sarcastically.
"Chris! They're –"Emma looked around and lowered her voice. "They're trying to kill him."
Chris wasn't sure if he should believe this or not. "What? Why?"
"I don't know! I mean, I do, but –"
"Well, then what is it? What's going on? What if they shoot at this party or something?"
"I can't tell you, Sean promised me not to tell. I mean I promised him."
Chris honestly didn't know what to say to Emma. He didn't know what to think or what to believe. So he just put his hands up and said, "Okay."
With that, he walked away, leaving a depressed Emma alone in the corner.
(A/N: hmmm, maybe that was a pretty dumb chapter, but it was kind of a setup for the next one. So please review!)
