After Sean and Peter's conversation Sean was so pissed off that he went out and got drunk. Now of course he didn't realize how much he was drinking until he got kicked out of the bar for almost starting a fight with the bar tender. He had no idea where to go so he just let hit feet direct him wherever. Sean ended up at the park. He found a bench and sat down. Sean was just thinking about things that went down that night. How Emma slapped him and treated him like dirt. How he treated her like dirt in the past. Talk about bad karma. While he was thinking he felt his stomach twirl around and then before he knew it he was throwing up.
Emma decided to drop Manny off and then she drove Peter's car to his house. From there she walked to the park. It was pretty late and no one was going to be there because of the dance. Normally there would be tons of people because of the ravine but not tonight. Well that's what Emma thought. While she was sitting under a tree she heard strange noises. It sounded like someone was throwing up. Emma being the nosey person she is got up and walked towards the noises. When she stopped walking she saw the back of a boy about her age throwing up in the trash next to the bench. She walked to the front to see who it was. When she saw who it was she was about to walk away when he spoke.
"Emma don't go. Please. I need you. I really do. I'm a screw up I know that but I love you." Sean said and then threw up again. Emma was furious. After everything they had been through together he decided that now was the right time to say that. But that was typical of Sean; always saying the right thing at the wrong time. But Emma wasn't going to give into him this time though. "No Sean you don't love me. You are drunk and throwing up in a fucking park. Oh and you know how much I hate seeing people drunk. Like you where when we got back together. You got drunk at Jimmy's party and I forgave you but not this time. I can't." Emma said in a cold tone. "Emma come on. I really do love you. Why else would I have gotten back together with you? It wasn't because you were an easy slut. Actually that's Manny. But you, you are a fucking prude. Well at least you were until Jay got to you." Sean said. Then before he knew what happened he was holding his hand up to his stinging red cheek. Emma had slapped him across the face so hard that he would probably have a red mark there in the morning. After that she stormed off somewhere; probably her house.
Sean figured that she went to her house. He thought it would be best to leave her alone for a little while until she was cooled off. He also wanted to be somewhat sober when he went to go talk to her. Sean hated being drunk especially in front of Emma. Emma always knew he could be a better person if he wanted to but every time he tried to be a better person he would screw up again. That only led to their break ups.
After about an hour Sean started walking to Emma's house. He was about to knock on the front door when he realized that it was really late and him showing up this late at night wouldn't look good. Then as he was about to walk home he remembered the window that everyone used to get into Emma's room without waking her parents. Sean climbed through the window to find Emma sitting on her bed wrapped in a towel. When he walked closer he could hear that she was crying. Out of the corner of her eye Emma saw Sean walking closer and closer to her. She sat up and looked at him weird with tears streaming down her face. When she sat up that's when Sean noticed something red on her towel. He thought she might have gotten her period but then realized that it would be lower on the towel. The blood stains were on her sides where your arms would be if you put them straight down. Sean walked closer to Emma and then took one of her arms and examined it. There were fresh cuts. Only three but they were still there. Then he took her other arm and counted about five fresh cuts. But what startled and surprised him the most was that there were old cuts on her arms. Now it was all clear. Emma had been wearing long sleeved shirts for the past week. Actually it was ever since the closet incident.
"Emma what is this? Why would you do something like this?" Sean said scared. "I well I don't know." Emma said then paused. "Wait I do know but I can't I can't tell you." Emma said looking down at her hands. "Emma?" Sean said confused. "Sean I can't tell you why. It wouldn't be right." Sean was still confused. "Alright fine you can't tell me. But I don't understand. Ellie cut because of her family well because of her mom. She was or still is an alcoholic. But you are perfect. You get good grades and apart of that environmental club. Everyone adores you Emma. Your parents are doing great too. Even baby Jack. So if you can't tell me why then at least let me help you with this problem." "No Sean." Emma snapped. "You can't help me and I won't let you." Emma said and then started crying harder. Sean didn't know what to say so he just hugged her. They hugged for a few minutes and then they both let go. Emma was thinking about something. You could tell by the way her facial expression looked. After a moment of thinking she finally spoke. "You." Emma said. "What? What about me?" Sean questioned. Then he understood why Emma said what she said. "Oh my God. Emma. Me? I am the reason you…" Sean couldn't even finish. He just broke down crying. He sat down on the bed next to Emma and then she took him into her arms. "Shh Sean. It's alright." Emma said through the tears still filling up in her eyes. "No it's not Em." Sean said also through tears. "I caused this. I caused all of this. What if I had said something worse to you? You could have…" Once again Sean couldn't finish his sentence. He just started to cry harder. "Cut deeper?" Emma asked. "I know I could have but I didn't. Call me crazy but for some reason I kept thinking you would come to see me tonight. And you did. Sean I need you tonight." Emma said still crying. Sean looked up at Emma and then kissed her gently on the lips. It was a quick kiss though. Then they looked into each others eyes. After a few moments of gazing into one another's eyes they hugged some more. After that they started talking about things.
Let me know what you think of this chapter and/or story so far. I would like at least six reviews. I don't think that is much to ask for. It can be good or bad I don't mind. But here is a little spoiler for an uncoming chapter. It is called Romeo And Juliet. I hope that doesn't give too much away. If it does oh well. My bad.
Here is a preview for the next chapter.
Emma and Sean talked for most of the night and then fell asleep in each others arms. Emma's mom walked down to her room and found Sean and Emma wrapped up in each others arms. She thought the obvious thing at first but then noticed that both of them had red puffy spots under their eyes probably from crying.
