I am sooo sorry for the delay. My computer home crashed, and we just now got a new one. There's only one more chapter after this one, so read away!
Sean's POV
I heard the phone drop, but I really didn't know what to do. So I just waited until I heard the soft sounds of Emma breathing before I continued on.
"Ummm...yeah. I'm going to go. I'll see you around." Then I hung up the phone. I don't know why I did. I told myself that when I called Emma that I wasn't going to chicken out and hang up the dang phone. But, yet, here I was, and the phone was on the hook.
I sighed and moved away from the phone, because I knew that if I didn't I would just end up picking up the phone and calling her back. Then we'd start the whole thing all over again, and that kind of thing was never good. It was just something I did when I was nervous. And, yeah, I was dying from the nerves.
I had to get out of here, I had to clear my head or something. So I walked to the front of my old appartment, which was empty, but with the money my parents had given me, I had managed to get it back. I even had the phone hooked back up. But it was just killing me to be in here.
I quickly shuffled out the door, and locked it behind me. There wasn't anything in the appartment worth stealing, but I didn't want to just leave it unlocked. Plus, it gave me an almost false sense of security, and that was a good thing to have in life.
I walked for a while with my head down, not really looking where I was going. I didn't really care, I could walk this entire town with my eyes closed. But when I looked up for the first time I saw that I was a few houses away from Emma's.
Now was my chance. I was horrible at talking on the phone, but I was even worse at talking in person. I knew I had to talk to Emma though, I couldn't just not do it. So, gathering up courage I didn't know I had been saving, I walked the ten yards to Emma's front porch, and rang the bell.
