Love Ridden
Chapter Six
Temporary Insanity
Emma walked to the kitchen, "Mom? Dad? Anyone home?" She walked to the fridge and found a note.
Emma,
We went to Dad's parent's house for a few days. Dad took off some personal days. His mom is sick again. There's money on the table for take out or whatever. Enough for 4 days. We'll call later. Don't forget that Manny is staying with us. Dad took out the extra bed, you guys just have to set up. She should be here a little after school gets out.
Love you,
Mom
Emma pulled out her cell phone and called Jay.
"Hello?"
"Hey sexy."
"What's up Em?"
"Well, my parents are going to be away for a few days. So, I was thinking that you should stay the night."
"Sounds good. I'll be there in a few."
"Alright. See you, bye."
Emma put her phone down and the door bell rang. She walked over and answered it. It was Craig, Manny and a bunch of Manny's stuff.
"Hey, Emma," Craig said almost dropping the two boxes he was carrying.
Emma laughed, "Need some help?"
Manny passed her a bag, "Yes please! My parents made me take anything and everything."
They walked down to Emma's room. Craig continued to bring down the rest of Manny's stuff, while Emma and Manny set up the extra bed. When they were finished, Emma handed Manny some pillows and blankets.
"I think there's an extra dresser over here," Emma walked over to the storage part of the basement. "Found it!"
Manny walked over and helped Emma pull it out. They found a good spot for it near Manny's 'new' bed., "Awesome, now I don't have to live out of bags and boxes."
Emma smiled and heard the door bell ring, "Wonder how that is?"
A few minutes later they heard footsteps walking down the stairs.
"Emma? Jay Hogart is here, and is saying you invited him over." Craig said.
Jay walked past Craig and over to Emma, "Is it so hard to believe that she wants to hang out with me, Manning?"
Craig nodded, "Uh, yeah."
Manny looked at Craig, "Hun, they're friends. They hang out. Relax."
Later That Night
Emma and Jay sat on the bean bags that Emma had set up in front of her T.V. Manny and Craig were upstairs in the living room watching a movie. Craig kept giving Jay dirty looks, so the couples separated.
Jay and Emma were watching Halloween IV. Emma was practically in Jay's lap because she kept getting scared. When it was over, Jay got up.
"Where you going?" Emma asked.
"We need real food."
"Wanna go to the Dot?"
"Sure. Should we ask Manny and Craig to come with us?"
"Yeah, I guess."
"Alright, let's get them."
They both walked up the stairs. They looked at the T.V., it was just a blue screen. They heard some movement on the couch.
Emma laughed, "Ew."
Craig and Manny jumped up. Neither of them had shirts on. Manny was just wearing her bra. Jay quickly turned around. Emma started laughing harder, "Alright. We're going to the Dot. Both of you are coming with, so you can take a break from whatever it was you were doing."
Manny started looking for her shirt, "Um, I can't find my shirt."
Jay, who was still turned around, saw Manny's shirt on the floor close to the kitchen, "Found it." He threw it at her with his eyes closed, "Don't want to know how it got all the way out here."
Ten minutes later, they all got into Jay's car. It seemed Craig was friendlier to Jay. Probably, Manny's doing. Jay parked and everyone got out. The two couples walked in and found an empty booth near the back of the restaurant. A few minutes pasted and a waitor walked to the table with his head down. He was looking at his small notebook that he used to write orders in, "Welcome to the Dot." He picked his head up, "How can I..."
Emma's jaw dropped, "Sean?"
Sean ignored Emma, "How may I help you all tonight?"
Craig glanced at his menu, "I'll have a burger, a side of fries and a Pepsi."
Sean wrote down Craig's order and looked at Manny.
"I'll have the same as Craig, please."
Sean wrote a two next to Craig's order. He then directed his attention to Jay.
"I'll have some fries and a vanilla milk shake."
Emma laughed, "Thought you said you wanted real food?"
"That is real food, Em."
Sean wrote down Jay's order and looked at Emma.
"Caesar salad. House Italian dressing on the side. Medium Sprite."
Sean wrote it down, "I'll ring your drinks in a few minutes." Sean walked way.
Manny looked at Emma and Jay waiting for an explanation, "Well?"
Jay looked at her, "Well, what?"
"Don't play dumb. Did you guys know Sean was coming back?"
"Yeah, didn't both of you go visit him?" Craig asked.
Emma nodded, "We did, but he never said anything about coming home. He seemed like he liked it with his parents."
Sean came back with the drinks, and Emma stood up, "I'll be right back." Emma pretended like she was walking to the bathroom. However, she made a detour and went towards the kitchen and almost collided with Sean.
"Emma, watch were you're going."
"Why are you back, Sean?"
"What, you don't want me here?"
"I'm not playing. Why are you back."
"I couldn't take living with my parents. I missed Ellie. You know what? I don't really have to explain myself to you."
"You told me you and Ellie were not together."
"No. I didn't say we weren't together."
"Fine, you implied it."
"Whatever, Em."
Emma sighed, "Listen, just stay out of my life, ok? I like what is building between Jay and I. Don't try to ruin it." Then, she walked away without waiting for Sean's reply.
A tear slid down Sean's cheek, "If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't even have a life."

What just happened?
Did you kiss me?
Cause that's a place we've never been until now
And I don't know how it's gonna be after this
Do we pretend these feelings don't exist at all
Or do we fall?
My confusion shows whenever you get so close
I stumble, I stutter, forget what to say
I'm nervous, I wonder why I'm acting this way
Chorus
It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?
Woah, oh, oh (insanity)
Woah, oh, oh
You made a moved and changed your mind
Too much to lose, you've crossed the line between friends
And something more
Was it all a big mistake?
And if it was, it's much too late to undo
And I don't really want to
Let you go but I still don't know
How I feel about you
What this really means
It's crazy to want you
Is it meant to be?
Chorus
It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?
It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?
Woah, oh, oh (insanity)
Woah, oh, oh
Oh, what you do to me?
What comes over me, oh?
If this is crazy there's nothing I'd rather be
Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da
Da Da Da Da Da Da
Chorus
It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?
It's temporary insanity
What's going on with you and me?
Is it real or is it fantasy?
Forever or just temporary?
Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind

A/N: Thank you all for the reviews. No flames, yet. I hope you guys are enjoying it so far. I pretty much just make up the plot as I go along. I'm a big fan of the phrase, "And the plot thickens." I like drama in my stories. I have tons of ideas brewing in my head. I may even right a fan fiction based on Instant Star!
