I Break In Two Over You
"Jay...Are you sure this is a good time? I mean, with everything that's going on?"
Jay's heart sank. "Emma, if we just wait for a good time, something different would happen. Please, just answer my question."
Emma looked at him, she knew he was serious. She wanted to scream yes the moment he got down on one knee, she couldn't say no, "Yes, Jay. I will marry you."
Jay slid the ring on her finger. Then, they kissed and he picked her up. He twirled her around. He was so happy. But the happiness was interrupted but a beeping noise.
"What is that noise, Jay?"
Jay looked down at the couch, and saw the bright pink pager. "Oh, shit, Em." He reached for the pager. It read '911' on the little screen. He had forgotten that he had given the hospital the number already.
"Oh my god, Jay. They can't already have a donor, can they?"
"I don't know. I'll go wake up Ellie and Sean and you go wake up Manny and Craig."

Emma ran into Manny and Craig's room without even knocking. She didn't even care.
"MANNY! CRAIG! Get up now! It's the pager! It went off."
Manny and Craig jumped out of bed and got dressed. They ran into the living and almost crashed into Ellie, Sean and Jay.
Jay looked at them, "Let's go. Craig take your car, Sean you take yours, and I'll take mine. That way we each have a car."
The guys got in the drivers seat of the their cars and they girls got into the car that belonged to their boyfriend. Craig pulled out first. It was more important for him and Manny to get their first. Sean and Ellie followed them and Jay and Emma were quickly following behind.
"Jay, this is good, right? I mean this has to be a good sign?"
"I hope so Em. I don't know how long I will be able to hold out on telling our best friends that we're engaged. It just doesn't seem right to tell them right now."
"I know what you mean. But, Jay...I am happy we're going to get married. It's the best thing. But, what if..." Emma just trailed off and laughed at her idea.
"What if, what?" Jay looked at her quickly.
"What if we just elope?"
"You want to?"
"Yeah, I mean, It'll be easier. Less stress for everyone. Just us."
"When?"
"I don't know."
"How about now?"
"Are you serious?" Emma looked at him.
"Yeah." He pulled out his cell phone. "Hey, Sean. Emma and I are going to take a little detour. Keep us updated though. Bye."
"Where will we go?"
"We can drive down to Niagra Falls. They should have a 24 hour wedding chapel."
Emma rested her head on his shoulder. She felt a rush of guilt. She was running off to get married, while one of her closest friend's daughter was in the hospital.
Sorry that this chapter is short. I think I may just skip like a year. Would you guys mind? Let me know. I'll try my best to post more.
