Behind These Eyes Chapter 9-Take Me Under
"Hey JT, have you ever thought about something..."
"Yeah, I've thought about a million things. School, friends, parents…"
"No, like thought about us."
Why couldn't I let it go? The fact Darcy was getting to me, and the fact I wasn't completely disgusted by it, scared me. I wanted to be completely committed to Emma, but these stinging thoughts in my head wouldn't let me.
Emma was walking around the park, handing out flyers. I ran over and tapped her shoulder.
"Hey honey! Wanna help me pass these things out?" Emma asked me.
"Sure…but I have to ask you something first." I said.
We walked over to a shady area with a crippled tablecloth on it. I looked around for any sign of anyone from Degrassi.
"Have you talked to Sean lately?" I asked.
"A little, but not because I wanted to talk. He came up to me, apologizing and all. We're sort of friends. Why?" Emma replied.
"I don't know, just curious." I said.
At School:
I looked at Darcy while walking by her locker. After she had lied to me, and after she had tried to seduce me, I didn't want to talk to her.
Surrounded by familiar faces without names
None of them know me or want to share my pain
And they only wish to bask in my light, then fade
away
To win my love, to them a game
To watch me live my life in pain
When all is done and the glitter fades, fades
away
They'll get theirs eventually
And I hope I'm there
"JT, please, wait!" Darcy said.
"I don't want to talk." I said.
"Hey, you wanted it and you know it." Darcy said.
"It's just really weird with you. First you're a great friend, and now you're all obsessed with me, wanting me…when did this happen Darcy? Did you just wake up one day and say I love JT today and I'm gonna seduce him? Not cool." I said.
"I wasn't trying to seduce you. It's just weird, JT. You just grew on me, you make me feel like I can be myself, and I don't have to be this conceited cheerleader." Darcy said.
"Oh, so you're not a conceited cheerleader? You know what really pissed me off though, is that you know I have a girlfriend, Darcy. And you tell me she's off with Sean? I almost believed you there for a second. It's something Manny would do, and it's something I never imagined you doing." I said.
"I don't know JT…Emma's just so, stuck up. You shouldn't be with her." Darcy said.
"Well I am, so suck it up and deal with it! Plus, a good friend would understand and not do what you did. You should be happy for me." I said.
"Oh, and aren't you Mr. Smart? You tried to do the same thing with Emma and Sean!" Darcy said.
"That was way different. First of all, I didn't interfere with them and say, "Oh, Sean's not good enough" just like you said." I said.
"Whatever. I'm not wasting my time here." Darcy said.
"Fine with me." I said.
At Lunch:
I sat my plate of French fries, calzone, and Gatorade at Emma's table.
"Something wrong?" Emma asked.
"Darcy thinks you're not good enough for me, the hor. She tried to get me to cheat on you!" I said.
"That bitch. I never liked her." Emma said.
"I know. She said you were stuck up, and that I tried to intervene with you and Sean." I said.
"You were just jealous, because you're the great caring boyfriend you are." Emma said.
I gave her a slight kiss as we dug into our lunches.
Manny walked down the aisle and her brown eyes were fixed on me. She scanned to room to see if there was anywhere else to sit, then eventually plopped her place next to Emma.
"I know, I know. But there's no where else, and I was hoping to bury the hatchet." Manny said.
"Only if you apologize for blowing me off for Spinner." Emma said.
"That was ages ago, Em, but I'll say sorry anyway." Manny said.
"Ok, I'm good then. Mystery Meat, huh?" Emma said.
After School:
Princess Manny: so, darc being mean?
yorkthedork: as always
Princess Manny: don't let her bother you, I'm glad you and em are doing good.
yorkthedork: thanks, I'm glad too.
Princess Manny: I wish things could be different, but it's good
yorkthedork: when are you gonna stop crushing many?
Princess Manny: I don't know. Eventually.
yorkthedork: So many girls just love me…and I have no idea why
Princess Manny: It's only because you're, well, different. People like different.
Different?
How could I be different? I'm just JT, normal JT, the one who laughs at anything, all the time…cracks the weirdest jokes possible…makes people stare. Maybe I'm not the same JT. I wouldn't crack a joke just to crack one, and I don't laugh at everything…
I trekked over to Emma's house after I thought about the word different for a few minutes, for some odd, unexplained reason. I knocked on her door and waited for Emma to answer.
No answer, once again. I expected the worst.
I pushed the door open again and went upstairs. I only can hope history won't repeat itself, and I won't find Emma and Sean…not again.
I opened Emma's door, and found nothing. So, I almost shut the door, until I saw something that was a little interesting. I walked in, and grabbed the box. Inside was a….
Condom?
I rushed back downstairs, with the package in my hands. Emma just came out of the bathroom.
"You can't just keep showing up like this." Emma said.
"What are condoms doing in your room?" I asked.
"And now you're trespassing." Emma said.
"Well, I was looking for you, and I saw a box on your bed, so I went in and I found these lovely Trojan Condoms." I said.
"They're Sean's, he left them here by accident." Emma said.
"Ok, whew. I thought you were thinking…" I said.
"No, not yet, it's only been 2 days JT!" Emma said.
We plopped on the couch and watched TV as my thoughts swirled around in a spin cycle.
Hey, where's the reviews? lol, please r&r, as the story comes to it's ending! Yes, only 2 or so chappies left, so read now before it ends! Will JT and Emma live happily ever after, or will something happen, once again?
