One Thing Leads to Another…
Emma nervously looked herself over in the mirror. Manny helped her with her outfit, but she still wasn't sure it was good enough to get to Sean when he was around Jay and his stupid friends. Emma partly blamed Jay for her and Sean's breakup. Every time she saw him she thought "That's him…that's the guy that took Sean away from me." But she knew that it wasn't completely Jay's fault…she knew that it wasn't completely Sean's either.
"Em, you look amazing!" Manny said applying her mascara.
"No I don't Manny! I'm supposed to be making Sean want me back…not making him laugh at me. I mean I can pull off SOME sexy clothes…but this? It's just…too much." Emma said unsure of herself.
Emma carefully looked over her tanned stomach that was showing from Manny's blue crop top. She put her hands in the back pockets of her low riding jeans.
"Em, come on. You look really good. I think it looks amazing on you. Sean's eyes will pop out of his head when he sees you!" Manny said imitating Sean's response by making her eyes go really big and her mouth drop open.
Emma laughed at the look on her face.
"Manny Sean has NEVER made that face! Not even when we were….never mind." Emma said hoping Manny didn't notice her slip up.
She didn't.
"Em what time is Craig supposed to pick us up?" Manny said wondering if anything would happen between them that night.
"Um in about 10 minutes. Joey's letting him borrow his car because he doesn't like him walking around at night. But we have to sneak out because my parents don't know we're going…and because it's fun to sneak out the window!" Emma said giggling.
"Oh, ok." Manny said not really paying attention.
Emma sighed.
"You got to have the confidence to go with the outfit to make it look sexy…" Emma thought.
"And if you want to get back at Sean…it's the only way…"

"So you're telling me we gotta spend a whole night with Greenpeace, the Cheater, and his Mistress?" Jay said rolling his eyes.
"Really Sean how gay do you think we are?" Alex said laughing.
"Ok first off, Emma's my friend. Second, yeah Craig cheated…big deal get over it! And third, Manny….well Manny's just…Manny. But they're my friends so be nice to them!" Sean said in an intimidating voice.
"Ok, ok jeez. Don't go getting your panties in a bunch Bam Bam." Jay said putting his hands up in defeat.
"At least tell me there's some alcohol to get me through this night of lame." Amy said putting her hand on Sean's shoulder.
"No alcohol guys…not tonight."
Jay snorted.
"Psht…figures."
There was a knock on the door.
"Be nice!" Sean said before turning to answer the door.

(Emma and Manny invited JT and Craig who brought Spinner, who brought Paige, who brought Hazel, who brought Jimmy.)
"So when is the party going to start?" Paige asked no one in particular.
"This is the party princess…lame-ass central." Jay said rolling his eyes.
"Well why don't we play a game or something?" Manny said getting an idea.
"Oh and what do you suggest mistress a game of steal my boyfriend?" Alex said throwing a pillow at her.
"Go to hell criminal." Manny whispered under her breath.
"What was that?" Alex said standing up.
"Shut up you two! Jesus. I'm not in the mood to listen to you bitch and moan all night about who's a slut and who's a criminal." Sean yelled.
Alex sat back down and Manny looked away.
"Why don't we play truth or dare?" Paige said trying to lighten up the party mood.
They all gave her a weird look but reluctantly agreed.
"Ok so I'll start. This party could use some fun. Hmm…Emma truth or dare?" Jay asked knowing exactly what he'd say.
Emma rolled her eyes.
"Truth I guess." She said not wanting to get some weird sexual dare.
Jay smiled. That's exactly what he was hoping for.
"So tell me…were you really in LOVE with Sean. And if you were…then prove it."
Emma and Sean both looked at each other and then at Jay.
"What? Jay that's none of your business really. And besides I don't have to prove ANYTHING to you. Sean knows how I felt." Emma said trying not to look at Sean…scared of what she might see in his eyes.
"Actually Em…" Sean started but Emma didn't let him finish.
"What you don't believe me? Sean you know I loved you! You know it!"
"Em…" Sean started again but Emma cut him off.
"Fine! I'll prove it!" She said starting to get angry.
Sean tried to say something but Emma wouldn't let him.
"Your favorite movie is The Wedding Singer but you tell everyone it's The Godfather because you don't want anyone to know you like a romantic comedy. You hate anything with cinnamon in it. That scar that you have on your right arm is from when you fell off of your bike in the fifth grade. The thing you miss most about Wasaga is your cocker spaniel, Charlie. Your middle name is Hope…your mom named you Sean Hope because you were 2 months premature and they all had hope you were going to live. You keep a bag of Oreos in your sock drawer incase you wake up in the middle of the night and get hungry and you're too lazy to go to the kitchen. You hate thunder storms but you love the rain. You taste like chocolate. You love babies although you wouldn't want anyone to know that. And you hate being around sick people. You love meat but don't eat it because you watched your aunt and uncle harvest them the summer before 7th grade. You love double cheese pizza…it's your favorite." Emma practically yelled at him, now calming down and starting to get teary.
"Em…wow…I never knew you knew so much…" Sean said stunned.
"Well there's a LOT of things you don't know Sean!" She whispered before she got up and left the room.
"Em…" Sean said before he got up and followed her.

"Nice going Jay. You idiot! You knew what that question was going to do!" Manny yelled at Jay who was laughing his ass off.
"Well I had to liven up the party somehow!"
"Well it was a sucky way to liven it up assface!" Paige said before throwing a pillow at him. It hit Jay in the face.
"Yeah that was really cold Jay. Even for you." Craig said sneering at him.
"Whatever…you know they'll make up. They're probably in Sean's bedroom fucking each other senseless right now!" Jay said smirking at them.

"Em, come on let me in!" Sean said knocking on the bathroom door. Emma had locked herself in there and Sean attempted to follow her but she wouldn't let him in.
"Go away Sean…just go away." She whispered.
Emma tried to hold her tears in but she couldn't any longer. They started flowing down her cheeks. She couldn't stop crying. She wanted to let Sean in…to make up with him. But she didn't want to let him see her cry. She didn't want him to know he's the one that made her break down so much. She loved him and he loved someone else. There was nothing she could do to change that.
"Em, please…I'm sorry ok? Let me in!" Sean said softly.
Emma sighed. She wiped away her tears but it was useless because more just came flowing down her cheeks. She didn't care anymore. She unlocked the door and opened it.
Sean gasped when he saw Emma's face. She was crying. She had black mascara streaks running down her cheeks. Her eyes were red and puffy.
"Oh, Em." He said softly before putting his hand on her cheek.
Emma was about to say something but they heard Manny walking towards the bathroom. Sean took her hand and pulled her towards his bedroom.
"Come on, we can talk in here." He said before pulling her all the way into his room and shutting the door.
Emma got on his bed and laid her head on the pillow next to Sean's. Sean sighed sadly and laid down next to her.
"Em…" he started but she cut him off.
"I'm sorry, Sean. I didn't mean to let those secrets slip. I was just so mad you could think I didn't love you. I mean…we were together for nearly two years Sean! That's a long time! I…we…you made love to me Sean. You made love to me right here on this bed. And you think I didn't love you?" Emma said, now a little more clam, but still a few tears fell down her face.
Sean sighed sadly.
"Of course I knew you loved me, Em. I just…when we broke up…you were never around. I just thought you were losing interest…thought you finally realized I wasn't good enough for you or something. And I…look you know I just don't have much faith in love because of my family. I've never really known real love. But I did when I met you. You were my first love, Em. And I guess I just was so scared of losing that love, that I was so paranoid you didn't really love me. And now I know you did. I'm so sorry." He said softly.
Emma smiled and wiped away her last tears.
"I forgive you, Sean." She said mentally letting go of her grudge.
He smiled at her. All thoughts of Ellie were escaping from his mind at this moment.
"I love you Em." He whispered before leaning over and kissing her. He didn't bother to hear her response as he deepened the kiss, letting his tongue slip into her mouth. Emma knew she should stop him, but she didn't want to. She missed Sean so much. She missed feeling him. She put her hands on his shoulders and pulled him closer to her. Emma was in heaven. Sean wrapped his arms around her and held her tighter. Sean was in ecstasy…complete ecstasy.

"What? Are you serious? You've got to be kidding me!" Paige said disgusted.
"Nope! I'm not joking! I'm 100 serious! Heather Sinclair got another nose job! Her third since 8th grade! And her nose looks like Michael Jackson's!" Manny said gossiping with Paige.
"That's disgusting. Heather Sinclair is so insane. I swear to God she's spawned from some weird cult." Alex said pushing her nose up to look weird.
"Yeah a sex cult!" Jay said laughing.
"Only you would wish, Jay." Jimmy sneered.
"Speaking of sex…I wonder where Emma and Sean are." Amy said thinking about how much she wished she was Emma right then.

"Mmmm…Sean." Emma moaned as Sean slid his hand up her thigh and his other hand up her shirt.
They had been lost in their passionate ecstasy for almost an hour. They completely forgot about Ellie or all the guests in Sean's living room. The only thing that mattered to them was each other.
"Em…I want you." Sean whispered in her ear before teasingly kissing her neck.
Emma sighed in pleasure. She knew they shouldn't but she wanted to so badly.
"Do you…have something?" She whispered.
Sean smiled. He reached his hand into his bedside drawer and pulled a condom out of the box. They hadn't been touched since he'd last been with Emma. She smiled and pulled his hand back with hers.

"I'm not sure…Em wasn't in the bathroom when I went back there a little bit ago." Manny said.
"Hmm…well this is a pretty small apartment. So they must be in the bedroom!" Jay said sarcastically.
"Wonder what they're doing." Amy sarcastically remarked rolling her eyes.
"No…guys they're probably just talking. They couldn't be." Paige said in disbelief. She could picture Sean cheating. But she would have never figured Emma as the other woman.
"There's only one way to find out." Jay said smirking as he walked back to the bedroom.
