"Is he asleep?" Jay could hear Sean and Ellie whispering as they drove along the highway towards Sean's hometown of Wasaga Beach. Sean's father had suffered a heart attack so Sean decided to go home so he could work out his family issues, Ellie came along for moral support and Jay just came along for the ride. "I'm awake, because SOMEBODY won't keep the music down." Jay said with his eyes still shut. He sat up and and ran a hand through his hair before placing his hat back on his head. "What is this music?" Ellie sighed and answered, "A mix tape I made. It has Tyler Hilton, Nada Surf, Citizen's Cope, The Bangles, The White Stripes, Carole King, Jack's Mannequin and other bands you probably won't like." Sean laughed while making a right turn. He then said, "Home, Sweet, Home. Welcome to Wasaga Beach. We should probably fill up the car and get some food before we go meet the family." They decided that Sean and Ellie would get gas and Jay would go grab a table at a little diner nearby. Jay entered the diner and looked around.
"So much for beating the rush." Jay laughed under his breath. A middle aged lady poked her head out of the back and called to Jay. "Have a seat anywhere, Anna will come take your order soon." Jay sat down at a table, leaned back on his chair and closed his eyes. While he had his eyes closed a tall blond, who was currently searching her pockets for her order pad, came over to his table. He opened his eyes and she looked up. "Holy Shit." Jay softly cursed under his breath. "Hello Jay." Jay stared at Anna. "You're going by Anna now? Makes sense I guess. Change all the E's to A's and the M's to N's. So, what..." Jay cut off the end of his sentence as he caught sight of Emma's stomach. "What the fuck? You LIED to me?" Emma reached down to cover her six month pregnant belly. She tried to defend herself. "I had to do this. You didn't love me. This wouldn't work. I did this for you!" "Bullshit, Emma! You did this for yourself! You were afraid of being with me! What are you going to do? Work here for the rest of your life?" "No I was going to give the baby up for adoption and come home to live with my mom and dad!" Emma clapped her hand over her mouth as the words slipped out. Her eyes filled with tears and she turned and fled out the door.
Jay stared at the door she had just run out and couldn't believe what he had just heard. The door opened again and Sean and Ellie entered. They saw Jay and came and sat down at the table with him. "Have you been drinking Jay? You look terrible!" Jay just looked at them. "Did you not see Emma rushing out of here as fast as her six month pregnant body could take her?" Sean and Ellie gaped at him in disbelief. "Emma? Emma Nelson? Emma The-Former-Mother-Of-Your-Child Nelson? Wait, six months pregnant? Did you...? She lied? Holy crap!" Sean just spewed all of his thoughts out in one sentence. Ellie added her thoughts to the conversations with a question. "What are you going to do?" Jay shook his head. "I don't know. What can I do?" "Jay! What you can do is find her and talk to her! She can explain everything and you can listen and you two can talk about it, CALMLY!" Jay thought about that and decided Ellie was right. He got up from his chair and walked to the kitchen door.
Soooooo... another chapter done! How many of you guessed that she was still pregnant? And that the "tall blond" was Emma? Also, this chapter was kind of soap opera-ish but that is because I used to watch Days of our Lives and Passions every single day. I officially quit December 31st, 2005. So that is the soap influence. Oh! Just out of curiosity does anyone know who sings the song that I named this chapter after? It's a really good band.
