"Hey where've you been?"
"Downtown. Um I am going to take a shower."
"Ok."
As Emma got into the shower Jay sat back thinking what the hell is wrong with him. Mia was like a bad dream. He needed to get his mind on Emma and his mind off Mia. Jay is only 17 years old. And 17 year old boys get bored easy, especially when they are forced to live the grown up life. He wondered if Emma felt the same way...obviously. She'd fooled around with Alex and her friend, and Sean. Out of sexual boredom? No..just..being around the same person too long boredom. She'd lost all of her friends, lost touch that is. Come to think of it, Jay had too. Towerz and them had tried to mess with him. And his only other friend was really Alex and that went down the drain. He decided, that he was going to try and get things to normal. A new normal. He got out a phone book and called up all of Emma's old friends, from Toby to Manny and all of the in between. Jay himself was going to go to Alex's. He knew she'd be open for a friendship, and he honest to God didn't want more.
When Emma got out of the shower Jay told her to get dressed, and to put on something nice. She figured he was taking her out to eat so she got dressed up and curled her hair. In the kitchen Jay was preparing food and drinks and music for Emma's guests. Never in Jay's entire life had he thought he'd be inviting those 'dorks' as he used to refer to them, over to his own house! But this was Emma's house too, and she needed some company other than Jay. Jay put on some shitty jeans and a black t shirt, grabbed his hat and went out the door right before everyone was about to arrive. He wrote a note for Emma saying he was going to visit an old friend, and that this was her night to enjoy her friends without him and vice versa, and that he'd be home tonight.
Emma.
Emma caught the note right as there was a knock at the door. She opened it and in comes Manny, Jt, Toby, Liberty, Darcy, and Chantel.
"Oh my God! No way! What are you guys doing here!" Emma yelled while being swarmed with hugs.
"Well, your wonderful Jay, invited us." Manny said to Emma hugging her one last time.
"JT we just ate dinner at my dad's house! So don't fill up on those chips, you'll get gas in the car too!" Liberty said kocking a chip out of JT's hand. Emma and Manny gave they w-t-f looks.
"Looks like they are still going strong.."
"Yeah..we've missed you Em."
Emma and Manny sat down on the couch. Darcy and Chantel joined. Jt and Liberty and Toby were still crowding around the food.
"I know. I've been so caught up with Jay I..."
"Forgot your friends!"
"The last time we hung out was when Chester and his brothers bombed us with water.." Darcy said getting into a day dream.
"That was so much fun, then that night Emma got caught putting the tampon on top of the tree!"
Everyone started laughing and getting into memories. The others soon joined and they sat in a circle on the floor chatting it up all night.
Jay.
Jay drove past the liqour store on the way to Alex's. He didn't stop this time. He thought about what she'd say when she saw him. Would she be a bitch and shut the door in his face? Would she try and fuck him? No. Would she..let him come in? Would she think he just wanted sex? Probaly. He was about to find out.
Jay stood at the door almost sweating he was so nervous. He barely knocked. A few seconds later the door swung open and a big breasted dark haired girl walked out. She checked out Jay and before he could check her out Alex's voice boomed through the air waves.
"Are you fucking serious?"
"What..I.."
Alex couldn't help but laugh. "Hogart, are you here for A, a booty call. B, a booty call. C, a booty call?"
"None of the above." He said walking past her and inside the house.
"Mom we have an intruder!"
"Shut up. Your mom isn't even home I bet. I don't want to have sex with you, I just want to talk okay! Try and be friends..."
"Well let me check to see if my gonoreah is cleared up first.."
Alex was the one person that wasn't about to let a thing like that go. She'd make Jay beg her to forgive him.
"Alex I've said sorry a hundred times!"
"Fuck off. Oh wait, fuck..hmm like I fucked, your girlfriend! Ha!"
"Yeah..I guess you did...um..can you be reasonable for one second!"
"Why you never have!"
"Oh my God Lexi!"
She stared at him cold, "Don't ever call me that!"
"But Lexi is what I call you. Now you are either going to throw me on my ass outside, or knock off your tough act (he knew it wasn't an act and he took his chances at even saying that) and be..my friend. Because a friend is all I need right now!"
Alex told Jay to sit down and he spilled his guts to her. From Emma messing around with Sean, to him being with Mia. Alex and Jay developed a nice friendship that night. She was glad he came over because she needed someone to talk to too other than Ellie's whiny ass.
Emma's party had ended and her friends went home, other than Manny. Manny stayed. They curled up in Emma's bed and talked until Jay got home, which was really late. He explained that he was at Alex's and after a few eyebrow raises from Manny Emma believed it was nothing more than a friendhsip between the two of them. Jay got some blankets and slept on the couch, which was rather comfortable for only 300 dollars.
