OK, when you see 'blah blah' it means the person is thinking to themselves...And "blah blah" means it's out loud...

Emma's P.O.V.

"One second." Emma pulled the phone away from her mouth and looked at the person next to her, "Shut up until I'm off the phone." She put the phone back to her ear, "Jay...What...How are you?"

"I'm good. How are you?"

Emma sighed, "I've been better. Why are you calling?"

"I had a weird dream...I just wanted to make sure things were ok."

"Things are fine." She stood up and walked away from the person she was with. 'Liar..'

"You sure, Em?"

She closed her eyes tightly, 'No. I'm not sure. My life has sucked every since you left..' She sighed, "Yeah, I'm sure. Where have you been?"

"Just traveling. Staying at hotels and stuff."

"Sounds fun. Ever coming back?"

"Actually, I have been back. A few times."

"Wait, you've been back but never came to see me?"

"Well, I did see you. I just never let you see me."

"I thought..." Emma kicked an empty beer can, "I have to go."

"Wait, where are you?"

Emma looked around, 'Good question...' She quickly thought of a place, "My friend Bevan's. I fell asleep here."

"Oh...Well, I'm coming back. I'm leaving soon."

She lightly smiled, "Good to know. Will I actually see you this time?"

"Yeah, I'm coming back for good."

"I'll believe it when I see it. Bye, Jay." She quickly hung up her phone. She put it in her pocket and walked back over to the person waiting for her.

"Who was that?" the person asked asked.

She sighed, "That was...Jay."

"Oh, what did he want?"

"He wanted to know if everything was ok."

"Oh. Well, come here. Lay down. We weren't finished."

Emma smiled and laid down, "Are we ever finished?"

"Nope. I just can't get enough."

Emma laughed and pulled her shirt off, "How is it we're both still wearing our clothes?"

"No idea. Normally I have you out of your clothes right when we get here."

Emma looked around, "Where is here exactly."

"Just a run down apartment that people only come to when the Ravine gets to loud."

"Is that possible?" Emma laughed as she pulled off the person's shirt.

"Nope. That's why I like coming here with you. No one will see us."

"Yeah, but Lex, everyone knows about us."

Alex shook her head and unbuttoned Emma's pants, "No, everyone thinks they know about us, but they have nothing to back it up."

Emma bit her lip and lightly kissed Alex on her stomach.

Few hours later

Emma laid next to Alex smoking a cigarette. Alex had fallen asleep soon after they finished pleasing each other. She took a drag of her cigarette and looked down at the sleeping Alex. 'What am I doing?' She brushed a stray hair out of Alex's face.

'Jay's coming back.'

'Who cares? You have Alex.'

'But Jay...Jay is the love of my life.'

'Then what is Alex?'

'I don't know...'

Emma sighed and flicked her cigarette. She cuddled closed to Alex. She kissed Alex's forehead and quickly feel asleep.

I've never been so happy to see a photograph of me
then when graced with your company.
You're making a small change to the waythat you wear your heart.
I like it better...I like it... I like it better now

I'll swing from a streetlight
as I will sing oh, oh, oh
I'm stuck in the meantime
but we're so oh, oh, oh close

The sunlight's overwhelming the scene that's
composed of you and me in our finest moment.
An amazing illusion was made with trick photography
it seems like you're really...you're really...
it seems like you're really here.

I'll swing from a streetlight
as I will sing oh, oh, oh
And I'm stuck in the meantime
but we're so oh, oh, oh close

I'll swing from a streetlight
and sing oh, oh, oh
And I'm stuck in the meantime
but we're so oh, oh, oh close
we're so close
we're so close

I'll swing from a streetlight
as I will sing oh, oh, oh
And I'm stuck in the meantime
but we're so oh, oh, oh close

I'm grilled by a spotlight
And sing oh, oh, oh
we're still in the meantime
but we're oh so, oh so close.

Yeah we're oh so, oh so close,
yeah we're oh so, oh so...

I'll swing from a streetlight
as I will sing oh, oh, ohI sing oh, oh, oh
I sing oh, oh, oh

Alright, no one knows about Alex and Emma. They started seeing each other a month after Jay left. They weren't sure what they were doing, but they didn't care. Alex was sort of a replacment Jay for Emma. They know someday their love affair would end, they just don't know when.
