Love Ridden
Chapter Nine
Your Eyes
Emma sat on her front porch waiting for Alex. Alex called and told Emma she was getting out of work at ten and she was going to head over there after. It was now 10:05. She heard someone walking down the street. She figured it was Alex so she got up and stood in the light. It wasn't alex, it was Sean.
Emma smiled, "What are you doing here?"
Sean walked up the steps, "I was on my way home."
"Since when do you walk this way to get home?"
"I was at the Ravine. Jay was there."
"Yeah, he still goes there to drink. It's not like before."
"You sure about that?"
Emma sighed, "I want to be."
"He was coming out of the van."
"Great. With who?"
"Sure you want to know?"
"Yes, Sean."
"Amy."
"What the hell! I'm going to kill him. How could he? I thought we were finally together after what happened at lunch!"
Sean looked at her confused, "What happened at lunch?"
"Come inside," Emma walked into her house and Sean followed, "We kind of had sex in a closet."
"You lost your virginity in a closet, at school, with Jay?"
"Why are you assuming I was still a virgin?"
"Because I just know."
"Anyways, no. I lost my virginity after you left, in my room, on my bed, with Jay."
"What?"
"After you left, he said..."
"He said whatever he said because he wanted to get with you. Can't you see what he's doing? You are not that dumb, Em! You are just a toy to him. Every time he wants something, he'll say something sweet and romantic. And you go crawling back. When he's done he'll toss you aside."
"Sean, I think you should go."
"Why is Jay coming over?"
"No Alex is."
"Oh."
Emma began walking to the door, "I'll see you tomorrow Sean." She had the door half open and Sean leaned in. He kissed and she kissed back.
"Um..."
Sean and Emma pulled away, it was Alex. "Hey, Lex," Sean said.
"How's it going, Sean?"
"Good. I was just leaving. Bye, Em." Sean left.
Emma let Alex in and they walked to the kitchen, "How was work?"
Alex laughed, "Boring. So, what did I just walk in on?"
"Nothing."
"Liar. Guess who I saw that movies?"
"Who?"
"Jay. With Amy."
"Great."
"Yeah. Don't tell my boss, but I spit in Amy's drink."
Emma laughed, "Let's go play Jay a visit. Sean saw him at the Ravine, with Amy."
Alex smiled, "Get Sean to come. Might need him."
"Good idea."
At The Ravine
Alex, Emma, Sean and Manny walked to the area of the Ravine where they knew Jay would be. Alex pointed out Amy, "Jay has to still be here if she is."
And then, Jay walked out from the middle of a small group of people. Alex grabbed Emma, and whispered, "This will make him more jealous." And kissed her.
Jay walked over to them, "Can I get in on this?"
Emma and Alex pulled away. Alex and Manny walked away. Leaving Emma with Sean and Jay.
"Why are you here with Amy?" Emma asked.
"I'm not here with anyone. Why are you kissing Alex?"
"I wanted to."
Sean put his arm around Emma, "We done here yet?"
Jay stepped to Sean, "Looks like she came here for me, so why don't you leave?"
"Why don't you make me?"
Jay laughed, "What are you 13?"
Sean pushed Jay and Jay lost footing for a second and pushed Sean back.
Emma let out a small annoyed screamed, "I'm so done with this. Both of you can settle this fight without me. I don't get why you were jealous of Sean. And Sean, I don't know why you came back. I'm going to go have some fun." Emma walked away and over to a group of guys. She looked at the hottest one, "Hi. I'm Emma."
He looked her up and down. She was wearing hip huggers and a black halter, "And I'm in heaven."
Emma laughed playfully, "What's your name?"
"Jeff."
"Well, Jeff, why don't you show me what's in the van?"
Jeff stood up and put his arm around her, "Gladly."
Emma's P.O.V.
They walked over to the van and got in. Jeff slid the door shut and locked it. Jeff bit his lip and made his way over to Emma. He tried to kiss her but she stopped him, "Look, I'm just trying to get these two guys jealous. I don't want to do anything with you."
"Well coming in here with me states otherwise." He pushed her down hard, and kissed her on the lips.
Emma tried to push him off, "Stop!"
He slapped her across the face and sat up. He undid her pants and pulled them down. "Listen, bitch. Just shut up. It'll be over before you know it." He started to undo his belt.
Emma took this has her chance. She looked at the side door, but she knew she couldn't get past him. She looked at the window closest to her and slid it open, "Help!"
Jeff pulled her down and punched her in the face this time, "What did I say!" He pulled off her top, "No bra...Sexy."
Emma started crying, "Stop please."
Jeff started to pull down his boxers when there was a bang on the side of the van, "What the hell is going on in there?"
Emma screamed, "Help! Please help me!" Jeff stood up and kicked her. Emma could hear people trying to open the doors. None of them were opened. They were all locked. Jeff began to pull up his pants. Then there was a smash. Something went through a window. She heard one of the door's open and the van shook a little. Jeff was getting out.
Emma could faintly hear people talking. She thought she heard Alex. She wasn't sure. She felt so far away from anything. She cried harder and began to shiver. The van shook again, "Leave me alone. Just leave me alone," she whispered.
Emma rolled over trying to get up. She felt a jacket cover her, "Em, it's ok. It's me. Let's go."
It was Jay.
Outside of the van P.O.V.
Jay and Sean watched as Emma went into the van with some guy. They both were pissed off and jealous.
Jay laughed, "Hope she knows what she's getting in to. That's Jeff. He likes to cut to the chase."
Sean gave Jay an evil look, "It's your fault she's in there."
"No, Sean. She's a big girl. She does what she wants."
"You invited her here the first time."
"I didn't drag her here. She came willingly."
"You never should have invited her."
"And I wouldn't have you didn't leave!"
They both saw Alex and Manny run over. Manny looked at Sean, "I think Emma's in trouble!"
Jay looked to the van and back to Manny, "Why?"
Alex sighed, "The window slid open and she yelled help. Didn't you hear?"
Sean shook his head, "No."
Jay ran over to the van and banged on the side, "What the hell is going on in there?"
He heard Emma scream, "Help me please!"
Manny, Alex and Sean ran up to Jay. They began to try all the doors. None would open. Jay picked up a rock and threw it at a window. It smashed. He went to climb through the broken window, when the side door opened. It was Jeff.
"Ever hear of privacy?"
Alex walked up to him, "What the hell are you doing to her?"
"Nothing."
"Doesn't sound like nothing."
"Oh, you mean her screaming? She said she likes to role play when she has sex."
Jay pushed him out of the way, "Bull shit."
Alex punched Jeff in the face and he fell, "Stay away from her."
Back in the van
Jay climbed in the van and found Emma curled up on the blankets. He could hear her whispering, "Leave me alone. Just leave me alone."
Jay took of his jacket and put it over her, "Em, it's ok. It's me. Let's go."
Emma rolled over and looked at her savior, she realized it was Jay. She sat up and wrapped her arms around him. He helped her get the jacket on. He picked up her jeans and top. Jay helped her out of the van. He wrapped an arm around her and Manny ran over to her and hugged her, "Oh my god, Em. Are you ok?"
Emma nodded, "I just want to go home."
Alex and Sean were over next to Jeff. After Alex punched Jeff he got up and tried to hit her. Sean stepped in front of Alex and blocked Jeff's punch. So now, Alex and Sean were finishing him off. When they saw Emma, Jay and Alex walking away from the van, they followed. They walked to Jay's car. Manny, Sean and Alex climbed into the backseat and Jay helped Emma in front. Jay got in and drove to Emma's house.
When they got there, Manny, Sean and Alex stayed upstairs and Jay helped Emma downstairs. She was still a little shaky. Jay got her in bed. And he was about to walk away. Emma sat up, "Jay, don't leave."
Jay nodded and walked over to her bed. He slipped off his shoes and laid down next to her. She cuddled up next to him, "Thank you, Jay."
Emma fell asleep quickly in Jay's arms. Jay was still awake, processing everything that has happened. He sighed, kissed Emma's forehead and whispered, "I think I love you, Em."
If I was drowning in the sea
Would you dive right in and save me?
If I was falling like a star
Would you be right there to catch me?
If I was dreaming of your kiss
Would you look right through me?
On the street I'm waiting
In my heart it's raining
Your eyes are holding up the sky
Your eyes make me weak, I don't know why
Your eyes make me scared to tell the truth
I thought my heart was bullet-proof
Now I'm dancing on the roof
And everybody knows I'm into you
If my heart was sadder than a song
Would you still listen?
If my tears fell on you, one by one
Would you see them glisten?
On the street I'm waiting
In my heart it's raining
Your eyes are holding up the sky
Your eyes make me weak I don't know why
Your eyes make me scared to tell the truth
I thought my heart was bullet-proof
Now I'm just dancing on the roof
Every single thing you say makes me want to run away
Sometimes love's a rainy day but life goes on
Your eyes are holding up the sky
Your eyes make me weak, I don't know why
Your eyes make me scared to tell the truth
I thought my heart was bullet-proof
But I'm dancing on the roof
And everybody knows I'm into you
