Chapter 3

-x-

Emma stirred in her sleep before her blue/green eyes opened and she glanced around her living room and then glanced at the clock on the wall that read 8:07.

"Oh my God!" she exclaimed and shot up from her bed and ran to Jack's room only to see him sound asleep in his bed.

"Jay probably already left." Emma muttered, "He doesn't probably care about being tutored, I bet he was happy that I didn't answer the door."

"Actually, that's where you'd be wrong." A voice said from behind her.

Emma jumped and turned around only to see Jay sitting in the computer room with an open English textbook beside him.

"What are you doing here?" Emma asked.

"Studying…what does it look like I'm doing?" he asked, glancing up at her.

Emma shrugged, "I just figured you would have left, that's all."

"You are so stereotypical." Jay said with a slight laugh.

"You know what stereotypical means?" Emma asked.

Jay stared at her blankly, "Just because I'm not very smart doesn't mean I'm dumb, Green Peace. Do you think so little of me?" he asked.

"You really want me to answer that?" she asked with a small laugh.

"You didn't think very little of me last year, you know." Jay said.

"Jay…" Emma said, "Do we have to bring that up? Last year was a mistake and we both know it."

"It was a mistake?" Jay asked, "You didn't seem to think so back then."

"Yeah, back then before I knew you gave me an STD!" Emma exclaimed.

Jay got up from his computer chair and walked over to Emma, "I'm sorry about last year…I really am, I didn't know I was giving you gonorrhea. I didn't even know that I had it."

Emma rolled her eyes, "I'm still in shock that Alex and Amy actually forgave you after that."

"I apologized to them." Jay said.

"You cheated on Alex though; you gave her an STD and cheated on her. You're just unbelievable."

"I don't go to the ravine anymore Emma. I stopped doing that." Jay said.

"Thank God!" Emma said, "You should have never gone there in the first place!"

"You can't make me the only bad guy in this scenario, after we did it the first time, you just kept on leading me on, wanting it again."

"Just shut up Jay."

"Why are we even talking about this?" Jay asked, "You're just my tutor now. So let's just put the past behind us and get some studying done."

Emma rolled her eyes, "Fine by me." She said and brushed past him, stalking into the living room.

Jay groaned and grabbed the English textbook and followed her.

"I don't know Em!" Jay exclaimed.

Emma stared down at the History book, "It is that hard to figure out, Jay."

"Well it is for me. I'm not that smart to begin with!" Jay's voice boomed.

Emma glanced at the clock, 10:05, she still had almost two hours with this and they weren't getting anywhere.

"How about we just take a break?" Jay asked.

"Why?" Emma asked.

"Because I'm hungry…and this whole thing is useless." Jay stated and got up from the couch, walking into the kitchen.

Emma rolled her eyes and followed him, "Education is not useless, Jay."

"For me it is." Jay said boredly as he opened the fridge and pulled out a can of soda then pulled out another one and offered it to Emma.

"Thanks." She said with a weak smile and took it out of his hand.

"Thanks to you too." He said.

"For what?" she asked, popping the top and taking a swig.

"For helping me, with all this tutoring and stuff." Jay said.

Emma smiled weakly, "No problem."

"I didn't want to do it to begin with but you're a better tutor than Toby or Liberty would be, plus you're easier on the eyes." Jay said with a smirk.

Emma could feel her cheeks turning pink, she had to look away.

"Thanks…I think." She said, staring at the ground.

"Yeah," Jay said, "In some weird way…it was kind of a compliment."

Emma giggled, "Yeah, I guess so."

Just then the ever-so-popular 'awkward silence' kicked in.

After five minutes of silence, Jay spoke up, "So how many more subjects do we have?" he asked.

Emma's head jerked up at the sound of his voice, "Um…Media Immersion and…that's it I think. You said you already did English and math, correct?"

Jay nodded, "And we've made attempts at science and history." He added in.

Emma giggled, "Yep. So I guess just media immersion, which we have to do over the computer, so c'mon." she said.

"I'm still hungry. I never got food, just a drink." He said and opened a cabinet, pulling out a can of Pringles.

"You sure know you're way around my kitchen." Emma said with a slight laugh.

"I figured your family would be the type to keep their junk food by the cookie jar." He said, gesturing to the jar filled with cookies.

"Yeah, I guess you have a point right there." She said and led him to the computer.

Jay turned for the computer room but Emma headed for another door.

"Where you going, Em?" Jay asked.

"Oh…I like the computer in my room better. I just got it. My parents finally regained my trust to let me have a computer in my room." Emma said and opened the door to the basement and jogged down the steps lightly, Jay at her heels.

"They didn't trust you with a computer?" Jay asked confusingly.

"Long story." She said and headed towards the computer, Jay glanced around her bedroom.

Three out of the four walls were painted olive green and the other one was made of brick, each wall was supported with posters of Maroon5, The Killers, Johnny Depp, Adam Brody, and Simple Plan.

Her bedspread looked like it was made out of a silky material and it's color was sheer plum, with two shiny see though silver sheets hanging on either sides of the bed like a canopy.

She had a cabinet in one corner that held a television accompanied by a DVD player and a large stereo.

She had shelves on her walls as well, one with DVD's on it, another with CD's and one that featured two frames. One had a picture of Emma and Manny from the school play last year, the two girls were decked out in their costumes giggling and leaning against a wall in the school, the picture was black and white and by the way it was taken, Jay had a good feeling that Craig Manning had taken that picture, as well as the second one which was of Emma, Manny, JT, Liberty, and Toby outside sitting on the Degrassi school steps, with their arms around one another. Liberty had her head resting on JT's shoulder, Toby was smirking, and Emma and Manny were winking at the camera.

Jay smiled at the pictures, even though the picture of Emma and Manny at the play brought back memories of last year when Emma got mad at Jay at the play, and of the nights spent at the ravine when they had had oral sex.

"Jay?" Emma's voice broke him out of his trance.

Jay turned around and saw Emma sitting at her flat screen computer.

"Huh?" he asked.

"Are you just gonna stand there? Pull up a chair." She said and nodded towards a chair at her desk that also had a frame with a picture of Manny and Spinner from last year.

Jay nodded and walked over and grabbed the chair, bringing it over so his chair was planted right next to Emma's. He was so close that he could smell her sweet smelling perfume that smelled of raspberries and her shampoo that smelled like vanilla.

He watched as her metallic purple finger nails tapped on each key of the keyboard lightly and noticed a charm bracelet on her hand.

"Where did you get that?" he asked.

Emma looked down at her bracelet, "That?"

Jay nodded.

"Manny gave it to me for my birthday last year, why?" Emma asked confusingly.

"Just wondering." He said.

Emma nodded and went to a program on her computer that looked like something out of Media Immersion.

"You have that program?" he asked.

Emma nodded, "Dad loaded it onto my computer."

"Is Mr. Simpson your real dad?" Jay asked.

Emma shook her head, "No. That's why my name is Emma Simpson-Nelson."

Jay nodded, "So was Nelson your dad's last name?"

Emma shook her head again, "My mom's maiden name."

"Oh." Jay said and pretended to look interested at all of the things Emma was describing, but the only thing at the moment that he was interested in looking at, was Emma herself.

"Well, we got a lot covered so until tomorrow I guess." Emma said with a satisfied grin.

Jay rubbed his eyes that were drooping lazily.

"I take it your tired." She said with a laugh.

"Nah…I could totally last another three hours." Jay said before his eyes began to blink shut.

"Yeah, I bet." Emma chuckled, "You gonna make it home alright?" she asked.

Jay nodded, "I'm not drunk or anything-" yawn, "-just tired."

"You can probably just crash here tonight or something," Emma said, "My parents wouldn't mind…they should probably already be home actually…I don't know why they're not."

Just then the phone rang.

Emma got up and walked over to her nightstand and grabbed her silver telephone and pressed the TALK button, "Hello?"

"Emma." Spike said worriedly.

"Where are you?" Emma asked.

"I need you and Jack to come to the emergency room immediately." She said in a rushed and panicked voice.

Emma's heart sped up and she felt as if there was a bowling ball in her throat, "Why?"

"It's Snake." Spike said, "He's not doing good…at all."
