Chapter 13
Emma and Sean are having a nice afternoon at home
Sean: Hey, do you want to go to the movies today maybe?
Emma: How about we stay in and play some video games
Sean hooks up the PlayStation and puts in Racing Blue
Sean: It's been a while since I've played this
Emma: Oh, I know, I used to love Racing Blue
Sean: I used to be a master at this game
Emma (chuckles) Well, I guess I'm in for a treat then
Sean: Yea, pretty much but don't worry Emma, I'll go easy on you
Emma (chuckles): No need honey, no need. We'll see who's the best
Sean (chuckles) oh would you look at that, I just got the lead.
Emma: Race isn't over yet dear.
They continue playing Racing blue, halfway through the race Sean's Car spins
Emma: Well, that's a shame isn't it
Sean: Aw man. That's ok I'm sure my crew will fix it up (chuckles)
Suddenly they hear a knock on the door, Sean answers seeing its Manny frantic
Sean: Manny? What's wrong
Manny: I hate to jus barge in but it's Chester.
Emma comes walking over
Emma: What happened?
Manny: Chester's getting assaulted by Bianca's brother Brendan, I saw it from the bedroom closet. He walked up to Chester and punched him in the mouth, busted his bottom lip
Sean: Is this family all nuts or something?
Emma: Something like that.
Manny: Chad was on the phone with me and heard everything. He and Jamie are on their way, he told me to come down here where I'd be safe until they got here.
Sean: Well, he's right about that. Last thing you need is to be in the middle of a dangerous situation like that.
Emma: Sean's right, Manny. I know you want to protect Chester and you're love for him, but you do not need to put yourself in the middle of that.
They hear a knock on the door
Chad: It's Chad and Jamie
Emma looks through the peep hole, sees its Chad and opens the door.
Chad: Hey guys
Emma: Hey, come in
Chad and Jamie walk in the house
Chad: something's going on down the street, something's on fire, I saw black smoke.
Chad (looks at Jamie and Manny): oh my god, Chester!
They run out of Emma and Sean's to go help Chester when suddenly, Chester's house explodes
Manny: Oh my god, No
Manny falls to her knees sobbing. Emma helps Manny up, Chad runs in the house
Jamie: Chad, come back here
Sean: I'll get him
Sean runs in the house after Chad
Emma: Sean! Don't
Suddenly after Sean runs in, there's another explosion from the house while Sean and Chad are in the house, scares everyone and the girls are all worried about their guys' in the house, just waiting for one to come out. Sean comes out covered in Soot a few agonizing minutes later
Emma (runs up to Sean): Oh, thank god, what were you thinking going in there like that?!
Sean: I'm fine Emma. I'm ok
Then shortly after Chad comes out
Jamie (runs to Chad): Chad!
Chad: I'm ok, I'm ok (he hugs Jamie)
Manny: Where's Chester?!
Chad: Manny, I couldn't get to him, the smoke got too thick, I don't know if he's still in there or not. I'm sorry, I think he's gone
Manny falls into Emma crying
Emma: Manny, I'm so sorry.
Manny: How could he leave me like this?
Chester: Who?
Chester said as he stood behind everyone
Manny (runs to Chester crying): Chester!
Chad: Dude, you trying to give us all a heart attack?!
Manny: I thought you were dead
Chester: Why would you think that?
He said as he was holding Manny close to him
Chad: Uh cause you were in the house with Brendan then suddenly it caught fire
Chester: He wanted me dead, but he didn't tie the rope's tight enough so when he went to light the fire, I escaped out the window
Jamie: All that matters is that you're ok, Chester.
Sean: Yea, I'm glad you're alright
Firefighter: I'm looking for the owner of this house.
Chad and Chester: That's us.
Firefighter: We were able to save your home, not too much damage, but it will need some work done.
Chad: That's fine. We were going to fix it up and sell it.
Chester: this place has a lot of bad memories for me.
Chester pulls Manny close to him and brushes her hair out of her eyes
Chester: I'm ok, just like I promised you I'd be baby.
Manny: You could have been killed in that house!
Chester: But I wasn't, and I get to go home with you tonight and stare in those gorgeous brown eyes of yours and lay next to the most beautiful girl I've ever laid eyes on
Manny buries her head in Chester's Chest
Manny: This needs to stop happening.
Chester: What does, babe?
Manny (voice breaking): Your ex and her family coming after you to hurt you. I can't keep worrying about if they're going to come after you again. I'm in love with you, I love you with every single ounce of me, but I can't keep doing this.
Chester (voice breaks): I don't want to lose you Manny, I'm lost without you. I love you
Manny (brushes her fingers through Chester's hair): Something needs to be done with that nutcase and her family
Chester: I love you, let's go home babe
