Chapter 3- So Cold

I loved laying on Jay's chest. It felt like while I was there nothing could hurt me. It was like I was in a whole other universe where no one but Jay and I mattered. A place where no one judged us, where we could be alone together,where no one could tell us we weren't "right" for each other. My whole alternate universe was interrupted by my alarm clock going off. As I reached over to turn it off Jay stirred slightly beneath my head as the morning sun came through my window.

"Morning sunshine," we hadn't even been going out for twenty-four hours and he already had a pet name for me. "Morning." He kissed my forehead and got up. "Where are you going Jay?" "I am going to take a shower." "I'll go upstairs and get you something to eat okay?" "Sure, but Emma," I hated it when he said my name like that it always meant something bad.I remeber the first time hesaid it and since then I always knewthat nothing good could come afterwards."Hmm." "You do know that your going to have to tell your parents about us right?" "No, I have to tell my Mom." "What about Simpson?" "He left." "What do you mean he left." "Jay, do I have to spell it out for you? They got a divorce. He moved out last week" "Oh my God Emma I'm so sorry.Are you okay? How'syour mom? Emma, I didn't know. Why didn't you tell me," He tried to hug me at that point. I pulled away. "Please Jay I don't need to be pitied. I'm glad he's gone." "Okay sorry."

"Come on," I said pulling him towards the door. "Emma where are you taking me?" "To go tell my Mom that we're going out." At the second my Mom opened the door. "Emma what is he doing here," she asked. "Mom he stayed the night here last night. We're d-d-dating now." "Emma. Why didn't you tell me?" "I thought you didn't like him or you wouldn't approve." "Emma, you know me better than that. If you would have told me he was here I could have ordered you guys something to eat." "Really?" "Emma I don't disapprove of him being here, you two are sixteen and old enough to make your own decisions. What I disapprove of is you not telling me what was going on. There for tonight I want Jay to come over for dinner, maybe order some Chinese watch a movie, but I want to get to know you better." "Thanks Mom." "Your welcome now you two get ready for school." With that she left.

I couldn't believe she was being so understanding. I dressed in my black mini skirt and layered black and white wife beaters and waited for Jay to come out of the shower.

"Hey," he said grabbing onto my waist. "What." "Nothing." He started kissing my neck. "Jay stop." "So what color thong are you wearing today?" "Shut up. That's for me to know and you to never find out." "I have my ways." "I'm sure you do. Lets go to school before where late." "I wasn't planning on going" "Ha Ha."

We left my house and on the ride to school I kept staring out of the window wondering what everyone would think once we entered the building. Once we arrived none other than Alex herself was the first to greet us.

"Green Peace and Jay Hogart together outside of the ravine? No one saw this coming," She said with a slight smile. Only a slight smile though Alex shows no emotion other than anger. "And Emma is it dress up like Alex day? What's with the wife beaters?" "Uhh nothing. Just something different." "Right. Anyway Emma want to go play cards with Jimmy, Marco and Ellie? We're skipping French class." "Yea sure. Bye Jay." I kissed him on his cheek and left him to talk to Towerz.

"Guys, Emma's going to play today." "Emma? Skipping class? Alert the media the apocalypse is coming we're all gonna die," Jimmy said joking. "Ha Ha very funny. I've skipped school before." "When," asked Marco. "Last year. I went to go find my biological father." "Wow Emma you sure know how to have fun."

The day went by pretty fast and before I knew it, it was time to have dinner with Jay and my Mom. If I said I wasn't nervous that'd be the understatement of the year.
