AN: Okay, this was originally supposed to be a sequel to my Pemma drabble (Elevation), but at the request of a friend (Bri), it turned into a Jemma oneshot. I hope you like. By the way, notice the correlation of the two titles? Yes, "STAY" has just been updated...I now need to finish up the last of my series of 4 oneshots (two Emma-centric, two Crellie). This is not a part of my multichapter story "STAY" though.
IM me, as I love to talk: DP Emma Nelson

"Peter, I had fun but I can't keep this up," Emma stated and turned to leave. He quickly reached out and gripped her wrist, tugging her back towards him.
"How can you be like that? How dare you!" he growled in frustration.
"Let go of me!" she protested angrily as she vainly tried to extricate herself.
"I think you'd better do what she says," a third voice interjected.
"Jay?" Emma asked, astonished.
"That's my name, Greenpeace," he said, smirking at her discomfort. Then he grew serious again as he turned to the other boy. "You. Leave now."
Peter opened his mouth to reply, then thought better of it. With one last glare at the two, he left. Emma stared at the ground, unconsciously rubbing her red arm.
"You okay?" he asked, uncharacteristically concerned.
"Yeah, fine," she answered absentmindedly. She snapped back to reality as he started to leave. "Wait!" she called out frantically. He paused but didn't turn around. She impulsively marched over and hugged him. Jay stiffened but didn't reject her.
"Thanks," she whispered, momentarily lost in his smoldering eyes.
"Anytime, Greenpeace. Anytime."
