A/N: This chapter is gonna be really, really, short. Emma's reason for
committing suicide is not going to come until near or at the end. Sorry for
taking so long to add this chapter and making it short, but I've been
writing this story out of order and so some chapters will be great and
other's will be BLAH!!! Lol. Here we go!
"One black morning,
When this life is over,
I know I'll see your face,
Every step I take,
Every move I make,
Every single day,
Every time I pray,
I'll be missing you...."
Puff Daddy (P Diddy) feat. Faith Evans and 112- I'll Be Missing You
Manny lay on her bed, tears streaming freely down her face. Emma would never know how much Manny had cared for her and Manny lay in silent regret, wishing she'd told Emma. Maybe then, Emma would still be alive. Maybe.... Manny cried harder. Her best friend, the person who mattered most to her in the world, was gone.
Manny heard someone knocking on the door downstairs. Her mother and father were at work and she was home alone. Getting up grudgingly she headed down the stairs to door. She looked through the peephole and saw Craig. She hesitated. What could he possibly want? She didn't feel like talking to anyone. Looking out at him again she saw that his eyes were red. He'd been crying. Sighing, Manny opened the door. At first, they just stood staring awkwardly at one another. Then Craig spoke.
"I came over 'cause I was um, worried about you," Craig said, looking Manny in the eye. Manny looked down at the floor and fidgeted with the end of her shirt. She wanted to answer him, but she couldn't think of what to say. Craig was worried about her. Craig! But right now it didn't matter. Nothing really mattered anymore.
Craig looked Manny over. Her shirt was wrinkled, her hair was messy and her eyes were puffy and swollen. She looked really bad, but Craig couldn't blame her. Her best friend had died. Emma.... was dead. To his shock Manny fell to the floor and started crying.
"I m-miss her s-so m-much," she stuttered between sobs. Craig felt helpless. He stood there and stared at her for a while, before getting down on his knees and wrapping his arms around her. He held her close to him and she sobbed into his shoulder. He began stroking her hair. He wanted to say something to make her feel better, but he could think of nothing.
He felt Manny push away from him gently. She looked up at him and wiped a tear from his cheek. Craig hadn't even realized he was crying. Manny stared up at him as if waiting for him to say something. Something that would make everything disappear; make Emma come back. Instead of saying something, though, Craig did something that was better than words could ever be. He kissed her. Deeply and sincerely. He wanted all the pain to go away, even if it was just for a second. Manny broke away from the kiss first and melted into his arms, crying again.
Craig had just kissed her. But somehow it didn't matter as much as she thought it would. Nothing really mattered anymore except the fact that Emma was gone and she was never coming back.
A/N: What's a story without a bit of romance, eh? Lolz. I know this one wasn't that good and it was short, but I'll make the next chapters as good as I can, promise. Thanx for all the great reviews so far. I love you all!!!! -Kris xoxoxoxo
