Chapter 2.
(I put the last paragraph from chapter 1 in the beginning)
Then there was a shadow hanging over her,and then she looked up and there he was. Jay was standing before her in his usual gear. Baggy pants, sort of baggy blue shirt with his oversized jacket on. And of course who could forget his hat on backwards with his sunglasses on the stop of his hat. He sat down next to her and she had a feeling they were about to have another heart to heart...
"Hey." He said sitting down. She looked like she was deep in thought. And she looked angry. More then she usually was about this.
"Hi." She said quietly. She didn't really feel like talking about Sean and Alex right now.
" What's up?" He was trying to figure out what was wrong with her. Yeah the whole Sean/Alex thing was probably the reason, but there was something else that was wrong with her.
"Nothing." She didn't feel like talking right now.
"OK, Emma, come on. Tell me what's wrong. What's the matter? Are you Okay?" She wasn't talking to him. That scared him. No matter how bad the Alex/Sean thing got she always talked to him. Why was she shutting him out now?
"What's wrong? Am I okay? How can you ask me that! My boyfriend and you're girlfriend are somewhere in this house doing whatever! And you can ask me if I'm ok? Doesn't it embarrass you? Everyone knows what they are doing! Doesn't it make you feel angry? Like you should walk around with your head down?" She didn't understand how he could ask her that. Everyone knew what Alex and Sean were doing! Everyone! Didn't it embarrass him that people thought that they weren't good enough for Sean and Alex?
He wasn't expecting her outburst. And he wasn't expecting what she said even more. He sat there trying to understand it all. Yeah so they were in this house somewhere doing things together. Yeah it made him angry. But embarrassed him? No, not really. And why would it?
"No it doesn't embarrass me. And it shouldn't embarrass you either. Yeah you're right everyone knows what they are doing. But so what? It doesn't mean people think less of you. It just shows them that Cameron is a player. And Alex is a slut. It doesn't say anything about us though."
"What does it say about us that we won't stop them?" She asked looking up at him for the first time since he had begun talking to her.
"Emma we couldn't stop them from doing this anymore then we can stop time." He said truthfully. There was no many they could stop them. Either they could do it at the parties or at their homes. Either way they weren't going to be able to stop them. At least they know what they are doing, and they aren't doing it behind their backs.
"Still don't you wish you could hurt them back sometimes?" She knew she did.
"He's not trying to hurt you." Jay said slowly. He never wanted to tell her this, but he thought the time had comes that she knew the truth.
"What? Then what is he trying to do, Jay?" She didn't understand.
"H's not doing it to hurt you. He's doing it to punish me." When she just sat there and looked at him he continued.
"When he found out about the ravine and all that happened with that he was mad. I mean REALLY mad. He said that I hurt you and that I used you. And then I throw you away because you were 'tainted'. He said that I didn't deserve someone like you. And that i deserved to get hurt just like you did. But if he would just stop trying to hurt me for a second and look around him then he would see that he's not hurting me. He's hurting the thing he wants. And thats you. He doesn't understand that he's not hurting me because I couldn't care less what Alex does and who she does it with. He cares for you, he's just showing it in a really wrong way." He didn't even want to tell her that. But he thought he had to. To him it sort of mad what Sean was doing ok. And he didn't want her to think what Sean was doing was ok. He wanted her to hate Sean for what he was doing to her.
"No he doesn't. If he really cared for me then he wouldn't want to hurt you. He would except the fact that I did of my own free will and that you didn't make me do anything. I went to you. If he cared he would have talked to me about this. And if he really wanted to hurt you he could find a way without involing Alex. What he's doing is wrong. He is being such a jerk." She really couldn't believe he would do that. Jay and him were like best friends. And you don't do that to your friend.
"It doesn't matter, anymore. What's done is done." Jay said getting up.
"Where are you going?" She asked looking up at him.
"I'm going to get and get something to drink. Come with me." He said holding out his hand for her to take. She had never really got into the parties. She got there and sat on the couch till they left. She was sort of scared to actually go into the party.
"I never really leave the couch..." She said uncertainly.
"Oh come on. You can't just sit here all night like all theother times we go out. Come on. Don't worry I'll protect you from all the bad people." He said sort of mocking her, but she didn't mind. She took his hand and stood up and he led her through all the people.
"What do you want to drink?" He asked getting himself a beer.
"I don't drink." She said looking at all the people dancing, and how far it was to getting back to the couch.
"So you got up for nothing?" He asked beginning to laugh. She nodded and they started to walk back to the couch. They had to walk through all the people dancing to get to the couch. Emma didn't like walking through all of them. They were all pushing each other and trying to get in front of each other. 'And Jay wonders why I don't leave the couch. It's much safer then here.' She thought as she tried to get back to the couch. Suddenly she was pushed into Jay really hard which caused her to lose her footing.
"Ahh." She said more to herself then to anyone else. 'Okay never leaving the couch again at these parties.' She thought as Jay helped her regain her footing. When she looked up she realized just how close she was to him. Way to close' She thought mas she looked for anyway around this problem. 'But do I really want a way out of this problem' She thought to herself as she looked at him again. He was staring at her too. And then they began to get closer when...
"Jay, Emma! Come on! Lets go!" Sean was standing there with Alex both of them looking confused.
"Come on." Jay said leading her out of crowd of people. Emma went up to Sean and instead of the hug she always gets from him when he comes back he grabbed her arm and pulled her outside. With him mumbling a 'Lets go'
Jay laughed at this. 'He only knows somewhat of what shes feeling.' Alex came up to him looking pissed.
"What was that?" She asked
"What was what?" He said walking around her trying to ignore her.
"That! With Greenpeace! Do you have a thing for her or something?" Alex asked running after him. By now Emma and Sean were waiting by the car, where they couldn't hear them talking.
"You got a thing for Cameron?" He wasn't in the mood for her right now. He really wasn't. They had interrupted things and he didn't want them to interrupt! And now she thought she could ask him questions?
"Thats none of your business." She said simply. But he wasn't having any of it. He turned around having Alex almost walk into him and got into her face alittle.
"It's none of my business if my girlfriend is doing my best friend? Ok well then its none of my girlfriends business if I like my best friends girlfriend now is it?" When Alex didn't say anything he knew he had won and turned and began to walk towards the car.
