TIME AFTER TIME
Chapter 7
That night at Emma's house. Paige and Emma
The walk home had been very quiet for Emma and Paige. Neither were ready to discuss what had went on at Dean's house. When the two got home Emma got a pillow and blanket for Paige and the two went up to Emma's room and fell asleep listening to music. But right as Emma was falling asleep the phone rang. She jumped out of bed and ran to get the phone before it woke anyone up.
"Hello?" she said, barely awake. Who could be calling her at midnight?
"Emma..." The voice on the other end of the phone said. Emma couldn't quite make out who it was.
"Who is this?" she said
"I-it's J-Jimmy" Jimmy said into the phone.
"Jimmy? What is it? It's midnight and your calling my house, whats wrong?" Emma said, forgetting the fact that Jimmy was the scum of the earth to her right now. Something MUST be wrong if he was calling her this late.
"I-I-I t-took pills." Jimmy stuttered out. It took a second for Emma to realize what Jimmy had said to her.
"Jimmy. Tell me you just mean you took an Advil or something..." Emma said tears coming to her eyes.
"N-no I t-took the whole b-b-bottel.." Jimmy said
"I-I cou-couldn't t-take it. . y-you were m-m-mad and so was e-everyone else" Jimmy said, his hands were shaking, Emma could hear it through the phone.
"Oh Jimmy no, this is all my fault! I shouldn't have been so mean to you! I'm so sorry! I wouldn't have stayed mad forever, it was just all too much for all of us" Emma said crying into the phone.
"Y-you mean y-you d-don't h-h-hate me?" Jimmy asked
"No, Jimmy, I love you, your the brother I never had. I don't know what I would do without you. I'm going to go get my cell-phone and call the ambulance right now so that they can come and get you" Emma said hurrying to the cell-phone.
"N-NO!" Jimmy yelled into the phone. Emma stopped dead in her tracks
"I-I put e-everyone through a-all this I-I d-don't d-deserve a-any o-one or any th-thing." Jimmy said into the phone. Emma could hear him crying, and it killed her to hear it.
"Jimmy, it's OK, we all forgive you. It's OK, what is your address?" Emma said , still planning on calling 911. She had the cell-phone in her hands
"N-o. I'm n-not giving i-it t-t-to you." Jimmy said.
"N-nothing c-c-can s-save me now, b-by t-t-the time t-they g-get h-here I-I will already b-be d-dead." Jimmy said quietly
"No, Jimmy, really, it's OK, they can pump your stomach, and you'll be fine and everything will go back to normal" Emma said panicking, dialing 911 on her cell phone
"T-they might b-b-be a-able t-to pump m-my stomach b-but they c-c-can't t-take the b-bullet o-o-out o-of my h-head." Jimmy said fiercely. Emma heard the gun load. She hit the dial button on the cell phone
"JIMMY PLEASE DON'T. JIMMY!!" Emma said bawling into the phone
"I-I'm s-sorry Emma b-but I-I have t-to" Jimmy said as he placed the gun in his ear. Emma had dropped the cell-phone and was on the ground her entire body in pain from crying
"Please Jimmy, Please" she said begging him one last time
"Please"
"Emma i-if I-I t-turn o-out t-to b-be a d-dad...t-tell h-him or h-h-her that their d-d-daddy l-loves t-them.A-and t-t-tell A-ash t-t-too. P-please p-promise th-th-that f-for me Emma"
"Yes, anything. Anything at all for you Jimmy. I'll tell them every single day of my life" Emma said barely being able to get the words out of her mouth. She was laying on the floor hugging the phone to her ear, not wanting to miss a single word Jimmy had to say.
"Th-thank y-you Emma. I-I l-l-love y-y-you s-so m-much." Jimmy said. Emma was shaking so badly she could barely keep her voice strait.
"I love you to. So much." Emma said to Jimmy. Jimmy put his finger on the trigger. Pulling it back. Slowly. And then....Emma heard the gunshot on the other end of the phone. She threw the phone as hard as she could. She sunk into the nearest corner and closed her eyes. She was shaking, harder and harder. Her entire body was rocking back and forth. She could feel something on her face, was it sweat she thought to herself? No, no that was water. She opened her eyes....to see Paige standing over her with a sponge.
"Hun, wake up. You were crying in your sleep, what were you dreaming about?" Emma looked around, it was only 2:00 A.M. A dream. It was all a dream. She looked up at Paige and hugged her
"I'm sorry, for anything I've ever done or got mad at you about. I'm sorry" Emma said not letting go of Paige.
"Well I accept the apology, but I'm the one that should be apologizing." Paige said. Emma looked at her, one of her best friends. Only 2 words came to mind,
"Lets Talk" Emma said to her. Paige smiled as a tear rolled down her cheek
"Good Idea" Paige said, as she took a seat on Emma's bed and started in.
