Chapter 2: Where We Lay

Home still didn't sound welcoming. Her feet couldn't even take her far enough from her exboyfriend's apartment. She ended up outside his door, and the sunk to the floor as it opened. There he was coming to sit next to her also staring at the floor. "I don't get you, Emma." He said in a low voice masked with confusion. "I've never been able to understand you." She gave a small laugh, but once again silence crept up on them.

"Hey, Emma." Alex said braking every nerve of quiet left in the building. "Wanna ride home?" She suprisingly managed to get her voice above all the crying babies and fighting couples. She waiting for a minute for the young blonde girl to give an answer, but course all she ever did was shake her head.

"Emma?" A voice came in from the background. Certainly not a voice she wanted to hear...ever. Ellie stood there looking at the distance between Emma and Sean, which wasn't much at all. "Sean, what's going on?"

"Now's not a good time, Ellie." Sean said with no emotion. His eyes were hard to read, and his body language looked like he would want to be anywhere else as long as he wasn't around both girls. He looked up for a moment in to Ellie's eyes, and noticed the hint of anger. He had been blowing her off ever since she moved back in with her mother.

"Call me later then?" She said with a tone that seemed to ignite her emotions. Sean gave her a look that said sure, but really meant it probabbly wasn't going to happen. They sucked at having a relationship now to the point where a friendship even seemed disolved. Seeing him with his exgirlfriend probably finished things between them. Something he couldn't even care less about anymore.

"Alex and I are going to go 'study.'" Jay said braking all the tention with a goofy smile. Ellie and left, and all he could thing about was putting the free condoms they had got to good use. Alex walked out infront of him. "Sorry you got knocked up." He said to Emma right as he passed, and then soon disapeard.

For a moment Sean and Emma had caught a second of silence until they started to learn about a passionate affair a husband had, and the many different objects his rejected wife was throughing at him. They sat there almost amused at the amount personal information they got about Sean's neighbors just from sitting in the hallway.

Then a baby started crying, and he knew that it bothered her. Reminded her of her lovely future being a young single mother. At least she figured she'd be single. This all led him to the conclusion of moving them inside.

"Who's the father?" The words fought they're way out even though he was trying to keep it all locked in. It was none of his business.

She stared at her feet for a second debating herself on if she should tell him the truth. If she could anyway. "I don't know who the father is." She spit out even though she knew better. They would get to play a game of twenty questions. Sean just gave her this mixed look of confused and scared. "I never saw his face."

She layed in bed covered by a sheet with a guy pretty darn happy with himself next to her. He liked sex way too much, and sex with Alex was even better. "It's getting late." He hinted to her, and she caught on all too quick. It was like an every night conversation that she dreaded to have. "Maybe you should just stay here tonight." He said touching the bruse on her sholder.

"You know I can't." She got up off of his bed, and began to let the clothes conform to their rightful places. She was almost finished putting her shirt on when two arms reached around her, and kissed her sholder. "I can't leave her alone all night."

"Yeah you can." He said kissing his way up her neck, and then once on the cheek. "Just think about yourself for once. If you're not there, then maybe he'll be nice and they'll act married. Then you wont end up in the middle of things, and end up getting hit. So I wont end up there kicking his ass."

"Are you saying that I'm the reason he beats my mom." Alex said pulling away from him.

"No. Of course not." He said reaching for her again. "I'm saying maybe if they're alone he'll be affectionate. You know...like he doesn't have to prove that he's the boss anymore." It was scared her that Jay actually knew what he was talking about. His biological father liked to show off when the moment was right.

For the first time ever he had actually won her over. She called her mom, who was incoeherant at the moment. Then she wormed her way back into her boyfriends bed, and under his arms.

Sorry if this one sucked. I just wanted to get somethings across.
