Part 11 - Butterflyz
"Can we talk later?" Sean asked Emma.
"Why? Just talk now?" She replied angrily.
"You know, what are you so mad about?" Sean asked irritated, "Cause I didn't go to the dance? I didn't think that would matter to you..."
"Well it did..." She answered back.
"Why? Its just a dance... a stupid dance." Sean replied.
"So what, me asking you to a dance is stupid? Me trying to do something to help fix us?" She said crossly.
"It was just a dance Emma." Sean said calmly, "Its not like I missed out on something big... or something..."
Emma stood there.
"I would've gone..." Sean said.
"But what," She crossed her arms, "You decided to be a lacky to those goons once again?"
"I had something important to do... so?" He answered as he turned away.
Emma saw that he was serious and maybe he did have a good reason. She felt bad for accusing him for wrong reasons.
"What happened?" She asked.
Sean turned back to her and examined her, "Tracker." He said.
Emma started walking up to him.
"He kind of got into this accident... he's fine, but I mean..." Sean stopped talking. Emma was right in front of him now.
"I'm sorry," Emma said as Sean looked at her, "I'm sorry about Tracker... and I'm sorry for this... what I said and all..." She meant it too, "I didn't mean to" Her eyes were watering because she didn't mean to make such a big deal out of it all.
He walked up to her hugged her, "I would've been at the dance." Emma looked up.

Ashley had called up Jimmy so they could talk again. A few hours later He was in front of her house waiting. The door opened and Ashley walked out to him.
"Hey." He said.
Ashley smiled, "Hi."
There was an awkward silence, "Look, about what you said before... it made a little sense..." Ashley said quickly.
Jimmy didn't know what to say to her, "So what's gonna happen between us?"
Ashley sat on her porch step and he sat next to her.
She turned to him, "Does something have to happen?" She asked hesitantly.
"No..." Jimmy paused, "But it'll be kinda hard knowing that we both like each other but we cant do nothing about it..." Jimmy stopped, "I don't got a problem with being friends... but if it makes a difference, I really do think we could work this out... what do you think?"
Jimmy turned to Ashley but she was speechless, she was still trying to take it all in.
Jimmy decided to say something, "I don't know what you're scared of..." He said as he got up to leave.
Ashley rose to her feet and rushed over to Jimmy, "I'm not scared of anything."
He turned to her and stared at her.
"I'm not." She said again.
"You sure?" He asked, "I think you are... either that or you just don't see it...or maybe you don't want to see it.."
"I'm not scared."
"Prove it!" He answered quickly.
Ashley pulled him closer to her and kissed him. She was ready to let go but she didn't... she didn't want to pull away. Her arms moved around his neck and his hands held her waist.
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
He pulled back and stared down at her.
"I guess I was scared..." Ashley said quietly. He smiled back and shrugged. "So..." Ashley said as there was silence, "What do we do?"
Jimmy hesitated his answer, "I guess this is the part where I ask you out?"
They both smiled.
You and I are destiny
I know that you were made for me
