In the waiting room, all alone. When she saw Jay collapse she thought he'd be dead. A million thoughts rushed through her head in a flash. She had to take a cab to the hospital, they wouldn't let her ride in the ambulance. As she sat in the poorly cushioned, and stained waiting room chair she couldn't stop thinking back to what had happened.
She'd been laying in bed reading a book when she heard Jay come in, she was glad he was home and she couldn't wait to tell him about Chester and her talk with Alex when he opened the door and before he could say anything he looked dizzy and collapsed. He started convulsing and what looked foaming at the mouth. She screamed and hotel security came running, one of the guards saw Jay on the floor and called 911. The hotel staff had told Emma that they'd make her room more comfortable for her when she came home from the hospital, they didn't think Jay would live or something. She was in a daze, she thought about going home but she needed to be here when Jay woke up.
Turns out the coke Jay did was messed with. Jay didn't know if they had done it to him on purpose, or if who they got it from did it to them. All he knew was that he couldn't trust anybody, except for Emma. The hard thing was going to be how to tell Emma he did coke. He figured she'd start crying and be mad at him. The doctors did some shit to him that he didn't even know what was. All he knew was that he had tubes in him and he was weak, too weak to fight back if his dad sent someone after him. He layed their waiting for the doctor to let Emma in.
The doctor told Emma that even though she wasn't immediate family, and the only person their for Jay she could see him. When Emma stepped into Jay's room she saw him covered with tubes and wires and he was real pale. She pulled a chair to his bedside and started to cry. Jay put his hand on her head and told her he'd be alright.
"Jay what happened to you?"
"I...I don't know.."
"What do you mean you don't know, I thought you were dead! Did you do something today that..?"
He cut her off, "I did coke."
"What are you talking about? You...you did drugs? You mean to tell me you overdosed or something!" She couldn't believe he did drugs.
"It was stupid I know.."
"Now you say that, only because you are sitting her in a hospital bed. You...I...I didn't think you did coke and stuff, I mean I know you drink and smoke but..cocaine? What now that you have all this money you are going to just blow it on drugs? You know, have a good time?" She looked at him coldy, but she was really hurt.
"No! I..I was with Towerz and his friends...and we..listen I gotta lot to tell you about today."
"You know what, I don't want to hear any of it today. Listen I am going back to the hotel I need some time to think some thinks over, when do you get released?"
"Tomorow morning."
"Okay." She leaned over and kissed him and he wrapped his arms around her tight, she felt like crying but she'd save that for later.
"Emma...I..."
"Don't say it."
And he next thing Jay knew she was gone, he hoped to God that she wasn't thinking of leaving him...atleast she was staying at the hotel though. The doctor gave him some medicine to help him sleep and he was out until morning.
Emmas POV
She decided to get something to eat before she went back to the hotel. She walked down to a pizza place 4 blocks away from the highschool. She ordered a salad and a coke and sat down in the corner of the place alone, it wasn't packed in their, but it was pretty busy. Emma was about to leave when Alex came over to her table and sat down.
"Leaving?"
"About to."
"Well I can drive you home if you want, I wanted to chill anyways."
"Serious?"
"Yeah..I know I was a horrible bitch in the past...and wait I still am, just not to the same people." She said with a laugh. Emma rolled her eyes playfully.
"Okay. I'm staying at a hotel though, it's waaaaay across town."
"Montgomery?"
"No, Hayatt."
"Wow who's paying?"
"Jay."
"You're kidding right?"
"No...um...well, his mom died, so he's got some money now."
"Oh wow, that's crazy! Just..wow! When people's moms die it's always so shocking."
"Yeah...well let's get going okay."
"Okay..."
Alex led Emma to a black Acura, it was lowered and tricked out, she assumed Jay must have worked on it before they broke up, or who knows, maybe Alex works on cars too.
"Nice car."
"Better be, cost too much to just be any old car, before Jay and I broke up he ofcourse was going to trick it out nice but...well you know, so I just paid for it to be done."
"I've never told you this, and I should have. I am sorry Alex, for everything.."
"Let's just not talk about that okay."
"I really am sorry I'm not just saying that.."
"I said let's not talk about it, okay?"
"Well I'm just trying.."
Alex cut her off with, " Just trying to what? Throw me some pity, you knew Jay was with me and a part of you loved that for a split second you were on his mind instead of me, well you got what you wanted, hell you two are an old married by now huh?"
Emma just put her head down and almost started to cry, why did she accept this ride from Alex, the same Alex that made her life hell everychance she got..
"You see, that's why I didn't want to talk about it, because stupid emotions would get the best of me."
"You've never talked about it before have you?"
"Turn left?"
"Don't ignore the question, you've never got to say how you feel have you?"
"I'm going to keep going if you don't tell me if it's left or right."
"Alex!"
"Emma shut up!"
"Alex you can't just keep things bottled up so much!" Alex pulled over and leaned her head on the steering wheel. Emma didn't know what to do. She kept her head low. After about a minute Alex started driving again, Emma knew better than to try and get her to talk. Alex had her own way of dealing with things.
Alex stopped the car again afew minuteslater and said, "You want to stay at my house tonight? My mom's not home and Jay and you could use a break you know...just so you don't get bored of eachother." Emma thought about it. She didn't really trust Alex enough...but who knows, Alex had gotten softer, hanging out with Ellie, and Craig and even Jimmy..."Okay, let me call Jay and tell him." Alex rolled her eyes. Emma dialed Jay;
"Yeah?"
"Hey um I'm not going to the hotel, instead..I am actually going to stay at Alex's."
"Whoa..Alex? The same Alex that..."
"Yeah, not that long of a story, it's no big deal. I'll be at the hotel first thing tomorow morning though okay."
"Alright."
"Umm..I love you"
"I love you too, and I know there's no excuse for what I did...I got a lot more to tell you but we will catch up on things tomorow."
Alex and Emma drove to her house listening to country music of all things. Emma felt more comfortable staying at Alex's house than she had when the idea was first brought up.
wow...alex reallly wants emma as a friend huh? what will go down at alex's house, does alex really want to be friends with emma? we'll see! ps, sorry it took so long for me to post, i was thinking things out.
