The next morning Emma's mother decided that since Emma went out the night before then she was ready to go back to school. When spike came down the stairs she saw Jay and Emma sleeping in the bed together. She walked over to wake up her daughter but instead woke up Jay."Mrs. Nelson, it's not what it looks like for real. Actually I was hoping I could talk to you"
Spike nodded and walked up the stairs with Jay following. They sat down at the kitchen table. "I'm kind of worried about Emma." He confessed.
"Why is that"
"Well in a polite way all she wants to do is jump my bones"
Spike laughed at the way he put it.
"Jay, she just got out of a very sexual relationship. She's scared that if she doesn't sleep with you she will loose you. Just let her know you won't leave"
He nodded. "But yesterday I was listening in on her conversation with Ellie telling her that I'm prude that I don't wanna do it"
"She doesn't think that, she just wants to make herself fell better, thinking that Jordan didn't force her. That she wanted to do it. She's going to therapy today after school, maybe you could go with her"
He nodded again. "Maybe that's a good idea." He smiled at her. "Thanks"
"No problem. Now go wake her up. You and her are going to school today"
He nodded once again and walked downstairs.

He woke her up and told her to get really for school. She moaned and groaned, but eventually got up. About an hour later, Jay and Emma were sitting in the car waiting for the first period bell to ring, Just then Emma heard a knock at her window. She didn't want to pull away from kissing Jay but the person just kept knocking. Emma turned around to see Mrs. Hatzilicous. Emma rolled down her window. "Welcome back Ms. Nelson. How are you feeling""Fine""Good. That's good. I know it's you first day back and all, but I have a favor to ask of you"
"I don't know Mrs, H. I just got back"
She cut her off. "I know. And I wouldn't ask you except everyone on the welcoming committee is out. Manny is sick and Darcy has Sprit practice. You the only available person at the moment"
Mrs. H had to puppy dog eyes begging Emma. Emma looked at Jay then back at Mrs. H.
"I guess"
"Thank you Emma. You're a life savor. Meet me in my office when the bell rings"
Mrs. H walked away and Jay looked at Emma.
"I'm sorry Jay, I really wanted to stay with you today"
"No, actually it will mean that you will get back to yourself maybe"
"I guess, but still"
As they sat in the car making out, before the bell rang, the son on the radio played 'Hands Down' by Dashboard Confessionals.

The bell ran and the two of them got out of the car. Emma handed Jay a folded paper. "Don't read this until your sitting in class""Does that mean I have to go to class"
Emma laughed and nodded. The two of them walked hand in hand into school. Everyone gave Emma weird looks, obviously because they all knew about what had happened to Emma. They reached Ms. H's office. Emma sighed. "Back to this crap." Jay said and Emma laughed. "Meet me outside during lunch for a cig, then you can take me out to lunch"
Jay laughed tand leaned in for a kiss. Just when they kissed Sean walked by. He stoped right in front of them. "No PDA." Sean said harshly.
They both gave Sean an evil stare and he walked away. Jay kissed Emma one more time before walkeing away. Emma took a deep breath before walking into Ms. H's office.
She walked inside to see Ms, H in her chair talking to a boy on the opposite side of her desk. "Oh good. Emma you're here." The boy turned around. "Greg this is Emma"
Emma waved and said hi. He did the same. "She will be your guide for the day"
He nodded and the two of them walked out. When they stood outside the office waiting for Greg to get his schedule, Emma took the time to look at him. He was tall and had a really nice tan like he used to live in Florida. He had light brown eyes and bleach blond hair. Emma thought 'o god, he looks good." The she rethought that she has a boyfriend, Jay, and he was the best boyfriend ever. Jay helped her through Jordan and he was amazing, but Jay wouldn't have s$x with her, and right now that's all she wanted, at least that's what she thought. Greg got his schedule and she took him on the tour of the building. They got all the way around by the lunch bell. He had the same period lunch as her so Emma decided to take him to lunch with Jay. When the two of them walked out of the building Emma pulled out a cig and lit it, waiting for Jay. "you smoke?" Greg asked. "yeah," Emma replied looking around for Jay.
"I didn't picture you as a smoker"
"Well I do, get over it." Emma said with more an attitude then she wanted to have. Just then she spotted Jay. She ran over to him and Greg followed. "Jay this is Greg, he's the new kid. I'm showing him around"
"Greg this is Jay." When she said that, Jay got upset and Emma noticed, so she added. "Jay is my sexy boyfriend"
Jay smiled and stole Emma's cig from her, took a pull then gave it back.
They got into Jay's car, drove to the dot, ate lunch, then came back to school.

Emma, Jay, and Greg all had the next class together, English with Mrs. Kwan. She introduced the new student and they went on with class. Jay sat behind Emma and Greg sat next to Jay. Emma was paying attention and Jay and Greg were talking. "Yo Jay, your girlfriend is hot." Greg whispered "um thanks""Do you guys do it""shutup." Jay whispered but started to get mad. "What is she, prude? She doesn't look it"
"She's not prude. Can you shutup"
"hey Emma"
Emma turned around a little. "Yeah"
"Jay says your prude"
Jay jumped in. "I did not"
Emma laughed. "More like Jay is the prude one"
Jay got up and walked out of the rom. Greg laughed and Emma just sat there for a minute. Then she rose her hand and asked to go to the bathroom. Mrs. Kawn said yes and Emma left the room to look for Jay. She found him sitting in his car smoking.
"What?" She asked him when she sat in the front seat of his car. "What was all that about?" Jay asked. "What does you mean"
"Calling me prude just cause for one in my life I don't want to ruin things \for sex"
"But I want to." Emma replied.
"No you don't"
Emma started to get mad. "Don't tell me what I want. You don't know anything"
"I know, that before, you didn't want to have sex until you were in love"
"I am in love Jay." she said quietly. "With you"
He sighed loudly. "I know you are Emma but I can't help to think that all you will be thinking about would be Jordan"
She shook her head. "Just come over my house tonight. My parents are going out and are not coming home until tomorrow"
"Emma, what if I don't want to"
"What do you mean you don't want to'
"I just don't want our whole relationship to be about sex"
"It won't be Jay. We have fun now don't we"
He nodded.
"Just come over"
He sighed. "fine." They were silent for a minute. "well now that I've got you skipping class wanna go chill"
Emma laughed. "sure. Why not"
Jay started the car and drove away.

Emma got home from her afternoon with Jay and sat on the couch waiting for Manny. Manny walked through the door."Hey Em"
"Hi man. Whatcha doing tonight"
"Don't know yet. What are you doing"
"Well, Jay is coming over." Emma smiled. Just then Manny jumped up. "Oh my gosh, Emma, we should have a party"
"Manny that's geinous. That will show that I'm not scared anymore"
"Yeah and it will make you cool"
"Manny, I am so cool. And Jay says that I'm his badass"
"Emma, your not a badass"
"Oh yeah"
"Yeah." Manny said and Emma lit a cig right there sitting on her couch.
"Emma, what are you doing"
"It's called smoking." She replied.
"In the house Emma. Your mom is gunna kill you"
"No she won't cause she won't find out"
Manny gave Emma an 'I can't believe you' glare. "Whatever, I'm gunna call people." Manny said pulling out her cell phone.
Emma sat there and pulled out her own cell phone calling Jay.
J: Hello E: hey babe. It's me.
J: what's up?
E: Manny decided party tonight, so when they are partying upstairs, we can go downstairs and ya know.
J: sounds good. What time?
E: around 8 I guess.
J: okay.
E: on your way here, pick me up a pack too. J: You got it babe.
E: Thanks and meet me downstairs and hey.
J: okay yeah.
E: I love you J: on the other side of the phone smiling. I love you too.
E: later Emma hung up the phone.

People started coming in around 8. Emma sat on her bed in a button deown shirt and boxer shorts. Her room was dark so she could barely see a thing. Emma heard someone come down the stairs."I'm on the bed baby"
He walked over to the bed and sat down so he was facing her. She couldn't see him and he couldn't see her. He leaned in to kiss her and she fell back with him laying on top. She pulled away for a second.
"I'm happy you changed your mind"
He leaned back in to kiss her without saying a word, He let go of her lips and sucked on her neck, giving her a bunch of hickeys. She giggled. He reached down and un buttoned her shirt. He stopped and looked down at her. He touched Emma's cheek as if to ask if she was sure. She shook her head and started up with the deed. When they were done he put his clothes back on and ran upstairs, without a word, Emma questioned this movement if only for a moment while she put her clothes back on. She went over to the light switch and turned on the light. Just when she did that, Jay walked down the stairs. He walked over to her and kissed her.
"I brought youa beer"
"Thanks babe, You're the best." She smiled hard.
"Emma"
"Yeah"
"You have hickey's on your neck"
"Yeah, I didn't know you liked to give them"
"I don't"
"But you just did"
"Em, I just got here, how could I do that"
"Your funny you just got her. Yeah like an hour ago"
"No Em. I just got her like 2 seconds ago. My car broke down"
"Wait……" Emma had a shocked expression on her face "We just.. I thought…. That wasn't you"
"What are you talking about Emma"
"I think I just had sex with a random person"
"WHAT"
"It was dark, I thought it was you"
"Couldn't you tell by my voice"
"you didn't speak.. Or well.. He didn't speak"
"So you just assumed?" he asked sarcastically.
"Of course, I didn't think anyone else would come down. Manny was supposed to be watching upstairs"
Jay turned around to walk away from Emma.
"Ya know I knew that you wanted to have sex but I didn't think that you would stoop this low to have sex with some random kid. God, I bet it was that new kid Greg. He was talking about you ya know"
"Jay chill. I really thought that it was you" Emma started to get nervous, This was usually what happened with Jordan before he hit her. "Don't tell me to chill. I was trying to be understanding of your feelings Emma and then you just cheat on me. You are rediclious." Now that sounded like Jordan. Emma sat on her bed on the far side away from Jay, and crunched up into a small ball and started to cry. She whispered. "I'm sorry"
Jay wasn't exactally sure about what was going on. Then he looked at her and realized what he had done. He went over to touch her, but she flinched. "Emma I'm so sorry. Baby. Oh god. Emma." She looked up at him. His face was truly sorry. "I just want you to be happy, and I don't know if I can make you happy"
She sighed. "The only thing that makes me happy is you Jay"
"I'm sorry for yelling at you." Jay said "I'm sorry for sleeping with someone that wasn't you, even though I didn't know it wasn't you"
"so what do we do?" Jay asked.
"Can we have sex now"
"I guess if that's what you really want"
"it's what I really want"
"Okay then lets go babe"
He grabbed her hand and pulled her to the edge of the bed. He leaned down so he was looking straight into her eyes. He smiled that sexy Jay smile which made her weak (and myself I might add). He finally bent down and kissed her hard on the lips. Emma took his hands and pulled him down, so he fell on top of her. They kept kissing, it intensified as Emma pulled off Jay's shirt. The of course, they had fun. (ya know.)

When they were done, Jay decided to tell Emma a secret that he never told anyone before. They lay on the bed. "Emma, if I tell you something, will you promise not to make fun of me"
"of course babe"
"Well I like to write, well I sing. I write my own songs"
"Really, Jay, that's amazing"
"thanks"
"I want to here one." Emma begged.
"Umm.. I need a guitar"
"Actually, I have one. I'm trying to learn"
Emma got up, got the guitar from the corner of the room and handed it to Jay. Emma sat back and the bed and Jay satup. "Okay, I will play you one that I am working on right now"
"Play away darling"
"Okay, this is called Hands Down" He said as he began to play.

Breathe in for luck,
breathe in so deep,
this air is blessed,
you share with me.
This night is wild,
so calm and dull,
these hearts they race,
from self control.
Your legs are smooth,
as they graze mine,
we're doing fine,
we're doing nothing at all.
My hopes are so high,
that your kiss might kill me.
So won't you kill me,
so I die happy.
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
to break or bury,
or wear as jewelery,
which ever you prefer.
The words are hushed lets not get busted;
just lay entwined here, undiscovered.
Safe in here from all the stupid questions.
"hey did you get some"
Man, that is so dumb.
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't hear.
so we can get some.
My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me.
So won't you kill me, so I die happy.
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
to break or bury, or wear as jewelery,
which ever you prefer.
Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember,
I'll always remember the sound of the stereo,
the dim of the soft lights,
the scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers and the time on the clock when we realized it's so late and this walk that we shared together.
The streets were wet and the gate was locked so I jumped it,
and I let you in.
And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist and you kissed me like you meant it.
And I knew that you meant it,
that you meant it,
that you meant it,
and I knew,
that you meant it,
that you meant it.

"Oh my god. Jay"
"it's horrible I know"
"It's so not horrible Jay. That was absolutly amazing"
"I wrote it for you"
"Jay you are so great." She leaned in to kiss him again and they fell back on the bed.
