Emma's POV:
I kept on walking to the house's front door and slowly placed my hand on the cold- metallic doorknob. I took a couple of steps inside the hard wooden floor of the living room. "Mom, I am home!" I shout with the slightest hesitation.
"Emma how was school today?" Mom asks. She is quickly climbing down the stairs, and ends up in front of me. I hug her, and then she pulls back.
"Mom, is it okay if I go to the movies tonight at 7?" I asked.
"Well, you have been feeling better. I guess it's okay for you to go and hang out with friends." She answers, as she finishes her approval with a great big smile.
I smile, "thanks mom you're the best." I say as I run up stairs quickly.
I can't believe that I am going to the movies with Jay! Wait! What am I saying? He's just my friend. But is this considered a date? I don't really know. But what I do know is that I only have 4 hours to get ready. This is going to so much fun; I haven't felt so happy in ages. Well, for now I should start doing my homework and then I can decide what to wear.
It has been a couple of slow and boring hours, but now I can finally get ready. It's only 6:00; I have just enough time to have a scavenger hunt inside my closet. I open it and take a peek of what lays beyond what I see. There is this black minis skirt, which is really pretty but should I wear it? What am I saying I dressed like a slut today, and I am worrying about a mini skirt? I take it out. Then I look for sometime to match with it I decide to wear a white- sort of see through spaghetti strap. This is definitely the look, all I need now are my black high heels and everything is perfect.
I put on the skirt and I soon fine out that I don't look like the old me again. As I stare at the mirror my mined races back to the day of the shooting. Rick is aiming his gun at my face. My blood seems to freeze at the thought of being shot. But all of the sudden Sean gets in front of me. I quickly erase the dreadful image from my head. I then put on my spaghetti strap, and later on I put on my heels. No that I am done with that, I should get my hair and makeup done.
I take a seat at my chair that is in front of my desk that has mirror and a bunch of makeup sets. I decided to put on some black eye liner and a light-lime green eye shadow. Then I put on a light pinkish blush on both of my cheeks. Then finish it all by putting on a light pink lipstick that is followed up by lip-gloss. Now my hair needs to be done, I decide to let it down. I then put on some hoop earrings that are smaller then the ones that I wore today. Yay! I am finally done, but my victory is over drawn when I hear my mom shouting something back at me form down stairs. I quickly stand up from my chair and head down stairs.
"Emma!" She shouts, as I am coming down stairs.
I stop half way and stair at her, "what mom?" I ask.
"I forgot to ask you, who are you going to the movies with?" She asks. At first she just stares at me and compliments on my outfit. But that isn't enough she still wants to know with whom am I going.
I decide to tell her that I am going with Manny and Darcy, though that would mean to call both of them and tell them to not call all night. So I quickly make my decision. " Mom, I'm going to the movies with Darcy and Manny." I explain, while walking towards her. She gives me a perplexed look, but yet it seems that she fell for it.
"Aright then, come back before 10pm. Remember that you have school tomorrow." She states as she goes back into the living room; I am assuming that she's heading for the kitchen.
I quickly go upstairs and call Manny and Darcy and explain everything. They both agree on not calling me in order for my life's stake. I get of my bed and turn to look at the clock, it reads 6:45pm. Jay will be here any minute. I go back downstairs with my purse and jacket and tell my mom good-bye. I leave the house form the front door, and walk around the house until I am in front of my basement window. I wait until Jay comes up with his car.
Jay's POV:
I finally reach Emma's house, and I see her waiting there for me. She looks so hot. Wait? What am I saying? This is just like a simple friendly date, nothing else. Oh, why did she choose to wear that mini skirt? It makes me like her even more. Wait; did I just say that I like Emma? If I really like her then should I ask her out? Should I? Could I? I simply stop the car in front of her and roll down the car's window. "Hey beautiful, come in." I seductively say to her. She smiles and gets in the red sports car.
Emma's POV:
I can't believe he just called me beautiful, it sounds so different than the usual. I then gaze into Jay's eyes for a while, and then I am brought back to life when he kisses me in the lips. I smile and he returns one back.
"So, what movie do you want to see?" Jay asks, as he starts to drive.
I really don't care what we are watching; there really isn't anything good. As long as I am with Jay anything is fun; even if we were in the middle of nowhere I'd be happy as long as I am with him. What am I thinking? "Um, I don't really know. There isn't anything good out right now." I explain. I keep starring at the road in front of me, there as we go by I see Sean's old house. I suddenly remember when we shared our first kiss, but that really doesn't matter cause he doesn't belong in my heart anymore. I hesitate and wait for Jay to answer.
"I agree, why don't we just hang out in the mall and then get something to eat?" He asks. He quickly smiles back at me, and I do too.
"Good idea." I reply.
"Want to listen to music?" He asks, as he turns on the radio.
"Sure." I answer. My hand goes towards the car's radio, and start changing stations until I find my favorite song. I then start to look at Jay who is still driving; this is my favorite song by Alexz Johnson "Pick Up the Pieces", I can't help but sing along with it.
" If I were a drift on the ocean all along, you came and rescued me when I was far from home." I sing. But then my voice starts to sound like an actual singer; maybe chorus in grade school did me some good, I continue. " A rush of love around my heart just as I fell apart. Nobody ever cared as much for me, nobody's touched my heart and healed my pain you picked up the pieces…" I keep singing, but I am quickly interrupted by Jay's voice. Then we both finish the part of the song together, " and put me back together again." We both look at each other's eyes, and then he starts to slow down the car.
"Emma you have a great voice." Jay says, as he finds a parking spot in front of the mall.
I blush. "Really?" I ask in unison.
"Really." He says.
We both open the car's door and get out of it. "Thanks, now should we walk to the mall?" I ask. He nods and before I even know it we are already heading up to the mall's entrance.
