Emma peeked around the corner; in her hand she carried chocolate and a plant. Craig had been in the hospital for two weeks and each day was getting stronger. He smiled as he saw her blonde head and smiled. " hey, you're here early". Setting the plant down she turning and sat on the end of his bed.

"Craig i feel like a lot of this is my fault", she paused. His brown eyes widened, he opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by the knock at the door.

Ashley flounced in with a huge smile, then disdain when she saw Emma on the edge of the bed.

"Craig, I didn't know that you would have company so early", eyeing Emma Ashley leaned down and kissed him on the lips, letting it linger for a few seconds.

Craig pulled his face away, clearing his throat he looked at Emma.

Quickly recovering, Emma stood,

"well I was just on my way out anyways, I'll come and see you later Craig". As she turned to go, she heard Ashley's condescending voice,

"Emma how is that boyfriend of yours… what's his name..? … Oh right. Shawn." Not glancing behind her Emma spoke loudly, "He's not my boyfriend"

"Oh that's right! Ashley retorted. "He's just your fuck buddy".

"Ashley shut up! Craig glared at her and told her to leave as well.

In the elevator Emma pushed her long blonde hair back and sighed, ever since her night with Shawn a few weeks ago things had been weird.

She had pulled away when he tried to get so close.

When she had gone to confide in Manny, she had said that she was scared and needed to just get it over with and be with Shawn. "Do it or I'll do it for you" she had laughed.

Emma smiled when she thought of how shocked Shawn would be if that had ever happened.

The bell rang and Emma stepped out onto the first floor of the hospital, she was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she barely heard, the male calling her name. It was Marco.

Turning she saw him running up to catch up with her. "So here's the reason for Craig's little accident" he said with a smirk. "Marco"…. She rolled her eyes and turned away from him, and started to exit the hospital.

"Wait!" He called out. Catching her by the arm he turned her to him, "you had better March right back up there and tell him that you're sorry for leading him on". His eyes had darkened and his smirk had disappeared.

"get you're fucking hands off her" Startled the two turned to see Shawn standing a few feet away and looking very pissed. Releasing her Marco apologized and headed back into the hospital.

"You ok?" Shawn stepped towards her, looking concerned and worried. He reached out and gently touched her arm where Marco had held her.

Hastily she replied she was, and said she would see him later at the apartment. But he stopped her, "what's going on with you? You have been acting ever since that night…" he trailed off his green eyes starring into hers.

Pulling away she didn't reply. "Fine" Shawn said. "I see how it's going to be between us."

That night Emma slept at her parent's house, crying herself to sleep and dreaming of Shawn.
