As Emma made her way to her usual spot at the ravine she stopped when she heard someone talking out loud. Emma got close enough to see who it was. It was Sean Cameron. He was spending his lunch period at the ravine by himself. It was unusual. Emma continued to listen to what Sean was saying out loud to himself.
Sitting here in my room alone
Got the radio on
And it's playing our song
I keep your picture beside my bed
And as I hold it so close
After getting the right words said to himself out loud Sean wrote them down on a piece of paper. Then he started humming a tune to them. That's when Emma realized that he was writing a song. It was a really good start too.
Emma thought she felt something crawl up her leg so she screamed a little and then jumped. That's when Sean noticed that she was there. Emma was a little embarrassed as well.
"Emma…" Sean said looking at her confusingly.
"Sean I um… what are you doing here?" Emma asked.
"I should ask you the same thing." Sean said.
"Well I came here to think about some things. I haven't had much time to myself today. Jay has been following me everywhere. You know that note you left me really got him mad. He thinks I am going to take you back. It's funny actually." Emma said.
"Funny?" Sean questioned her. "Yeah it's really fun. It's hilarious." Sean said sarcastically.
"I didn't mean it like that Sean. You know what I meant." Emma said.
"No actually I don't Emma so why don't you explain it to me. And while you're at it, explain to me why you needed to come to the ravine to think when there's nothing to think about." Sean said angrily.
"It's just that we have broken up and gotten back together so many times it's hopeless. We start off good and then something bad happens so we break up. It's a repeated cycle. It's like we know what's going to happen before it really does. If you really want to know why I am here then I'll tell you." She said.
"I'm all ears." Sean said annoyed.
"Sean..." Emma said and then paused before speaking again. "What you said in that note really got to me. You're not a stupid pathetic drunk. Really you aren't. I know I said you were but I was just angry at you. When Jay kissed me again for a second time I didn't close my eyes Sean." Emma said and then paused again. Sean spoke before she could finish her thought.
"So? Is that supposed to mean something to me because it doesn't?" Sean said trying to sound like he didn't care when he really did.
"You didn't let me finish Sean. But yes that should mean something to you. When I am with Jay I feel weird. It's not the same feeling I get when I am with you. Being with you was so much more fun. We could both be ourselves. With Jay I sometimes feel like he's trying to make you jealous or trying to make me do things I normally wouldn't. Look what I am trying to say is that I want to break up with Jay and I want to give you another chance. Sean I really love you a lot. You screw up sometimes but we can fix that. I need you." Emma said.
Sean thought about it for a minute and then decided…
