"Um, he's pretty reasonable. He's changed."
"If he's changed, why didn't think work between you guys...oh wait he didn't change, he's still a theif and a punk" Snake thought to himself.
"I sure hope so. Spike come on!"
Snake and Spike drove to what used to be Emma and Jay's apartment. Emma stayed behind with Jack. She missed him and was glad to be able to spend time with him.
Jay.
"This is going to take some getting used to..infact. I need to move. This place is too big for one guy anyways, too expensive too. Without Emma I am free to live in the ghetto apartments on the corner of 9 and Leland. Hell maybe there's some nice girls living over there...eh the nicest type of girl of there is Amy..so I'd be better off meetin' up with one of Kiera's girls.." Jay had been thinking things through. Deep inside he knew that he'd probaly never get over Emma. He could accept that and still be with other girls but no body would replace her.
He was about to leave when there was a knock at the door. He peeked out to see Mr. Simpson(to him) and Emma's mom. He unwillingly opened the door and they came in.
"Hi.." He said nervously.
"Wow..this place is amazing! Archie this apartment is nice than our town house!"
"Yeah, don't rub it in." He didn't like that Jay, the criminal, was doing better off financially than him.
"Yeah it's great..so you guys probaly want Emma's things huh."
"Yeah. Clothes, Essentials, that's all she brought."
"Yeah..okay. I, or we will get her things packed."
Not speaking Jay took Emma's clothes out of the closet and her underwear and bras out of the doors. Snake cringed at the site of Jay touching his daughters under garments but let it pass. The two had been living together for about a month, so..there was nothing he could do about it. Jay decided to give Emma the pillows she picked out at IKEA. The heart shaped ice cube trays. A few painting that were on the walls, and a red rug that Emma had really liked that they kept in their bed room. Spike was amazed at how giving he was. He even tried to give them one of the love seats Emma had picked out but instead Snake proposed him a check for 500 dollars. Jay refused, knowing they were a family of four and couldn't shell out that kind of money. After 20 minutes of argueing Snake ripped the check in two and Spike and him were gone, along with the phsyical memories of Emma that Jay had.
"Yikes, this is really happening..it really, really is." He said to himself aloud.
Emma.
"Manny I am so nervous! They aren't back yet and I am freaking out!"
"Emma calm down!" Manny said handing her a glass of water. Emma called Manny over as soon as her mom and dad left to Jay's.
"It's just so weird.."
"Yeah but remember, this is for the better. Don't regret anything though, it was nice while it lasted right?"
"Yes..for the most part."
"Oh..I don't want to bring this up, but I have to. I heard about Chester..and the beating that Jay and Towerz and them gave him for it.."
"Oh God!"
"Yeah..Chester's brother was in the same drivers ED class as J.T. so.."
"So the whole world knows..."
"No! Just J.T..don't worry God, I shouldn't have mentioned it."
"You're right you shouldn't have.."
"Em!"
"I'm not mad so shut up."
"Ok...look I gotta go I am going to audition for a..commercial."
"What for?"
"Um..that doesn't matter.."
"Manny!"
"McDonalds.."
Emma laughed. Manny playfully shoved her.
"Shut up. I won't be wearing a uniform or anything. Just walking in the park or sitting down eating yogurt or something."
"Ok well good luck!"
"I won't need it too much I hope!"
As soon as Manny left Spike and Snake were home. They called Emma out to the car and when Emma saw all the stuff she had she was shocked.
"What's..all of this?" She said taking out one of the 10 by 15 canvas paintings.
"Jay is really kind. He said you'd like these, the rug too." Spike pulled out the rug and Snake got one of the 3 boxes with Emma's things.
"Wow, neat..I guess." They brought everything inside and Emma put it all down in her room. Her mom had painted her room white so the rug and paintings fit in well. He room was nice and modern now, but reminded her too much of the apartment.
That night.
Emma was sitting in bed reading when she remembered the nudes & pictures of her and Mia. And how Jay had them..they were in his possesion. She panicked and realized she had to get those pictures and destroy them. They could fall into the wrong hands..
"Mom!" She yelled. Spike ran downstairs.
"What?"
"I have to go to Manny's real quick. It's only eight. Please! It's emergency girl stuff!"
"Um..alright. One hour. Tops. Or I'll go over to Manny's myself."
"Thanks!"
Emma ran out the door and when she got to the nearest busy street she called over a taxi and headed to Jay's.
Jay was surprised to see Emma at the door. When he opened it he was about to wrap his arms around her and kiss her and tell her that she can't ever leave him again, but she stormed past him and into the living room.
"The pictures! I can't trust you with them..give me the pictures of me that Amelia took!"
"Her name is Mia and I burned them."
"Swear!"
"Swear..."
"Okay, good. I hope that you aren't lying. Now the cab is waiting downstairs and I have to go, I only have 20 minutes to get home. Um..take care.." She started to head out the door but Jay grabbed her by the waist and held her close to him and before she could protest he kissed her hard and passionate on the lips. Emma started to pull away but gave in. Jay wasn't going to let her go but he had to.
"I love you Emma...but I know you have to go, you can't get kicked out again..."
Emma stayed in his arms and started to cry. Jay wiped away her tears and let go.
"Maybe...when you graduate we can get back together...because I've been doing some thinking. And I am going to go live with my aunt in Montreal. Start college and stuff. You only turn 16 in like a month..and you have a brain that needs to be put to use. And you have so much potential so..just..move on. Because it's whats best. I'll never stop loving you that's for sure, and I hope you don't forget about me. But I promise, I'll come back in 2 years, just for you."
Emma stood there pretty much frozen. With tears in her eyes she nodded her head and left.
ps/ for those of you who go to the N dot com. vote for "i want candy" for the Degrassi Viewers choice! Because I need to see that fight scene between Emma and Alex. It kicks so much ass that Emma had the guts to do that! Hell Yeah! i hate the n dot com and dont even have a user name but i still read the N sider and do polls and stuff. anyways. so vote for "I want Candy" also, that is the last episode that Terri is shown in!
