1Will You Be There

A/N: This is rated for mild cursing. I really hope you enjoy. Lots of Love...

It had been a year since Jimmy graduated. And six months since he regained feeling back in his legs.

He was sitting on his bed staring at the a picture of he and Spinner. He still remembers the day he first felt something. He remembers everyone's shock.

All the doctor's said that he wouldn't walk ever again. It was a severed nerve that caused it, some thought that it was his spine, but the bullet had severed a nerve in his spine.

First he thought he was hallucinating. One day he had been doing his therapy with his trainer, they were doing some leg stretches so his legs wouldn't stiff; well they were mid stretch when Jimmy felt this almost popping feeling in his hips that shot a stabbing pain down to his knees.

He remembers jerking forward and grabbing his knees and yelling.

His trainer jumped away and Hazel who had been sitting on his bed jumped up and ran over to him.

He closed his eyes to live it again. He always did that when he was alone. He would remember the things he could and the other parts were told to him, the things that went on as usual. The things that always happened when he slept. He would always close his eyes tight and revel the feeling and pain of that day. And the bittersweet happiness.

Jimmy shot back down on the mat yelling for Tom his trainer.

'Do something'

He was gripping his legs and yelling in pain. Tom was busy pushing Hazel out of the room and dialing the doctor's private line to get him there right away. After he got Hazel out of the room and hung up from the doctor, he was at Jimmy's side trying to sooth him while waiting for the doctor to get there with some pain medicine.

He was trained to handle the most worst injuries but with Jimmy screaming hysterically; he didn't know what to do.

Jimmy was holding the side of his legs grunting and pleading with Tom to make the pain stop.

Tom stared at Jimmy confused. Jimmy wasn't supposed to feel anything.

When another strong sharp pain shot through Jimmy's legs, a natural instinct is to kick your legs up. When Jimmy did so, Tom jumped up whooping. He was ecstatic seeing the movement but got back down when Jimmy started screaming again.

Two hours later:

Hazel had gone home and Jimmy was sleeping. The doctor was giving instructions to Jimmy's father and to Tom who helped care for Jimmy in the day.

Tom spoke with the doctor while walking him to the door.

Mr. Brooks watched his sleeping son with a far away look in his eye.

Tom walked up behind him quietly, but he heard his approach, more like sensed it.

'How am I supposed to leave him now?'

'Don't worry Mr. Brooks. Jimmy will be a little hurt, but he knows it's business. Jimmy won't be alone... he has his girlfriend and his friends and not to mention he even has me.'

Jimmy's father turned slowly and smiled sadly. 'Thanks Tom... take care of my little boy.' he walked over and traced his hand lightly over Jimmy's head; he wiped his tears away and turned and headed for the door where his bag was.

'Tom?'

Tom turned around and gave Mr. Brooks a reassuring smile.

Mr. Brooks smiled back and picked up his things, 'The earliest I can try and be back is in two weeks.'

'Don't worry sir. Jimmy can handle anything. This is good news... not sad. Leave knowing that.'

Mr. Brooks smiled and walked out of the penthouse closing the door quietly.

Tom turned around and walked over to the phone to call in some reinforcement. Jimmy would want some friends around when he woke up; especially when he realized his father was gone.

Jimmy opened his eyes. He didn't know exactly the details of what went while he slept. Just what Tom told him. He hated it when he had to ask Tom everything. He didn't like that, it was as if someone was telling him about a story they read or a movie they saw...

He shuddered. Stuff like that always creeps him out.

He looked around the room again and at all the pictures.

One of he and Spinner at the basketball court .

He smiled at the fake smile on Spinner's face and the cocky smile on his. It was of course after he beat him. He couldn't help but laugh out loud. Spinner hated to lose, he hated it even more when Jimmy would rub victory in his face.

Another picture of him, Craig, Marco, and Spinner in Craig's garage room one day after practice.

Another of Spinner and Paige. Even though they weren't together, it reminded him of the good old days when they along with Craig and Marco and Ash made up the group.

He smiled bitterly, you'd think that he would have pictures up of Hazel, yeah right.

A month after he regained feeling in his legs, she was greedy over all the attention he showed her. She wanted all of his attention and then she got jealous when he started being friends with Spinner.

'It's his fault you were paralyzed in the first place Jimmy'

She would scream at him.

'Well I have to forgive him HAZEL! He's my best friend and I miss him. HE didn't SHOOT me, that FUCKING psycho did. How was Spin supposed to know that he would go nuts ans shoot me ans even try to kill Emma. THANK GOD that Sean was there to save her.'

Jimmy remembered that he would always get that sick feeling in his stomach at the thought that Emma almost died, if Sean hadn't been there...

Jimmy closed his eyes tight and shook the thought.

He wasn't sure when he started to get the feeling.

He just remembered that it had always been there.

Especially when he had heard that she would have died if Sean hadn't fought Rick to save her.

About two days after that fight he broke it off with Hazel. She had cried and pleaded and begged him to stay with her.

He just didn't like the way she had become so possessive over him. He wasn't sure when she had become like that, but she had.

She was so laid back, that was one of the reasons that he had liked her, she wasn't anything like people had thought. She was kind and sweet and loving and affectionate.

Then she had turned all weird on him.

Jimmy closed his eyes before he got too wrapped up in the memories.

He gabbed his keys off his night stand and out the door and to his car downstairs.

He drove to the Dot to meet up with some friends.

When he got there he saw Spinner flirting with Manny and her ignoring him while Paige just looked on with disgust.

Since she and Matt had broke up, she was interested in getting back with Spin while Manny was not interested in anyone at that point.

Spinner wanted her back and Craig was always putting the moves on her which caused them to fight a lot. Manny wanted nothing to do with either of them; at least not like that.

Manny and Paige had become friends some what since they had called a truce at the end of their Junior year.

Ashley was going to school in England taking summer classes to pass the time, so none of them really ever heard from her anymore; she had wanted to get back with Craig but he holds a grudge hard.

Jimmy looked at his friends and smiled. It was the same thing everyday. Spinner would flirt with Manny, Manny would ignore he and Craig trying to get her attention by keeping up long boring conversations about make up and boys with Paige and Emma, Craig and Spinner would act as if everything she said was interesting.

Paige wouldn't get mad at her cause Manny wasn't trying to be with either one of them, in fact Manny wanted Paige and Spinner back together; so on occasion she would come over to Jimmy's to talk to him about helping her get them together.

She would bring Emma with her on one of her love match rants to Jimmy's penthouse. That was how he and Emma first become friends.

He smiled at the thought of their friendship.

He walked up to Emma and sat down next to her.

She looked over and smiled that brilliant beautiful smile that made his stomach tighten up.

"Well there at it again." she sighed and I turned to see Spinner push Craig slightly aside to squish in between Craig and Manny.

Me, Emma, Manny and Paige groaned sensing a new war started.

"Spin! Spin take me home. I need a ride home!" Paige smacked Spinner on the back when they got up into each others faces.

"FINE!" he grabbed her hand dragging her out and all you could hear was him cursing about gripping about Craig always stepping on his game.

Emma and Jimmy looked at each other and laughed.

Craig had gone back to bothering Manny and she just started a new conversation with Emma.

Jimmy just sat back and watched.

He enjoyed every moment he had with Emma.

The night went on for a few more hours till Manny ran out the door saying she had to get home.

"Emma are you coming sweety?"

Craig rushed up to her, "You know Manny I need a ride to." She looked up at him and rolled her eyes; turning back to Emma replacing her scowl with a genuine smile.

"Umm..."

Emma started to get up.

Jimmy stood up quickly... "You know Manny I can give Emma a ride home, that a way you can give Craig there a ride home like he asked."

She looked at Jimmy like was gonna strangle him and he had to put his head down so she wouldn't see him trying not to laugh.

Emma couldn't help but smile though.

"Fine." she said turning to Craig poking her finger in his chest to get her next point across, "But no funny business and this is just a ride you got it." She turned out of the door and stalked down the side walk.

"I love when she gets all sassy... it's So cute." he smiled big before running out and chasing after Manny who you could hear gripping at him for not driving his own car.

Emma laughed and turned to Jimmy. "So... what next?"

I was thinking about a movie at my house and pizza and whatever take out we can think of."

She laughed and linked her arm through his "That sounds awesome. Lead the way."

He pulled Emma through the door and out to the parking lot.

He opened the door for her like he always did and then slid into the drivers side of his 2006 Chevy Trailblazer and headed for his house.

A/N: Okay I really hoped you like it. I know it's not a Jemma and they are my favorite couple but Emma is just my favorite then Manny. So every story I write will always involve the two of them some how. Pretty much every single story I do will involve Emma.

I love strange pairings so that is why I thought I would try Jimmy and Emma. Nobody does the two of them rarely, so I thought I would try it.

There will be mild cursing in this story. I have a horrible mouth and so I tend to write like that. And believe you me I have simmered this down for those of you who don't like curse words.

PLEASE read and review. It will be a good story and I hope you like it.

THANKS

PEACE ISA
