Chapter 3 'Back to School'
Two weeks had past since Emma was diagonsed with gonherea. She was going to a follow up appointment in the afternoon. She hoped that it was gone and she could get back to her normal life. 'Well as normal as it was gonna be,' she thought to herself. Emma's mom pulled the car up in front of the clinic. She looked over at her daughter and rubbed her arm. Emma snapped out of her trance and looked over at her.
"I am gonna go park the car," Spike began. "You can go check us in," she said and Emma nodded her head. "Its gonna be okay honey," she said running her hand over her daughter hair.
"I hope your right mom," she said getting out of the car.
Emma walked into the clinic and walked over towards the counter. The nurse was talking on the phone. She pointed to the sign in sheet and Emma sighed her name. She looked around the room seeing other girls her age. Some with their mother, fathers and some alone.
'I am so glad I am not alone in this,' she thought to herself. "You can sit here," a voice said causing Emma to look down. It was a girl around the age of six.
"Thanks," Emma said taking a seat next to her.
"Are you sick?" The little girl asked causing Emma to look down again.
"Yeah I am," Emma began. "What about you?" She asked folding her hand in her lap.
"Yeah my mom said I have alittle cold," she said wipping her nose.
"I hope you get better," Emma said lightly rubbing the girls back.
"I hope you do to," she said with a sweet smile.
"I am so sorry if she bothering you," the mother said grabbing the girls hand.
"Oh no she's not bothering me at all," Emma said with a smile.
"Lily Sanders," a nurse yelled coming out the door.
"Oh well that us Lily say goodbye to the nice girl," the woman said lifting the girl in her arms.
"Bye see you later," the girl said waving with her hands. Emma slightly laughed and waved back to her. Emma mom came through the door and sat next to Emma.
"You okay honey?" Spike asked seeing a small smile on her daughter face.
"Yeah I think I am gonna be okay," she said linking arms with her mom. ((()))
Emma finally got called in to see the doctor after a half an hour. She had to go pee in a cup so it could get tested. Emma and her mom were waiting patiently for the results. Emma was rocking in the chair back and fourth just like last time.
"Its gonna be okay sweetie," Spike said running her hand over her cheek.
"How can it mom? My reputation at school is reuined, dad hates me,-" Emma was cut off.
"Hey you look at me," Spike said cutting her off. "Your dad dose not hate he just disappointed and as far as your reputation-" she was cut off.
"Okay Mrs. Nelson," the doctor said walking into the room. "The results show that the treatment worked," he said smiling down at her.
"Its gone its really gone," Emma said standing up and wiping her tears away.
"Yes it is gone but your gonna have to stay away from any sexual activity," he said writing something in the chart.
"Or she will definitely stay away from that," Spike said. "Right Em?" She said looking at her daughter.
"Right of course," she said not really sure if she would.
"Well come back for another follow up in a month," he said giving them the file.
"Okay will see you then doctor thank you," Spike said shaking his hand.
"Yeah thanks," Emma said with a small smile. The doctor nodded his head and walked out of the room.
"Why don't we go celebrate?" Spike said with a huge smile on her face.
"Yeah its the first time I will eat something without getting sick," she said walking out the door.
"I'll go set up the appointment Em," Spike said walking towards the desk. Emma walked through the hall when a door opened.
"Okay Mr. Hogart come back in a month," another doctor said walking out.
"Thanks doctor," Jay said shaking hand with him. "Emma," Jay said stopping dead in his tracks. Emma began walking the other directions. "Emma wait," he said chasing after her.
"What do you want Jay?" She said looking down at the ground.
"I just wanted to know how the test went," he said walking closer to her.
"They went great its gone," she said looking up. "How about you?" She asked looking up into his eyes.
"Me too I am glad your okay," he said reaching for her arm. Emma flinched away from his touch.
"Emma are you-" Spike stopped in her tracks when she saw Jay. "GET THE HELL AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!" Spiked yelled moving in between them.
"Mom its okay lets just go," she said gripping her mothers arm.
"If you ever come near her again you will regret it," she said before grabbing Emma's hand. She ooked back at Jay as the walked out of the hall. ((()))
Emma wakes up the next morning and gets ready for school. She dosen't really want to go but dosen't have much choice. Mr. Simpson walked down into her bedroom as she put on her jacket. She turned around to see him staring at her.
They did talk but it always turned into an argument. "You ready Emma," he said crossing his arms.
"No but do I really have a choice," she said picking up her backpack.
"No not really," he began. "But I will tell you one good thing Jay won't be there," he said causing Emma's eyes to widen.
"Why! What happened to him!" She said kind of worried about him even thought she hated him still.
"He got suspened," he began. "He was invovled in that prank with Rick," he said in a low voice.
"Oh," she said looking down at the floor.
"BREAKFAST IS READY!" Spike yelled from the kitchen. Emma walked past Snake and up the stairs.
Emma stood in front of the school and took a deep sigh. Its been two week since she has been here. Manny, JT, Toby and Danny walked over to her. Manny wrapped her arms around her best friend.
"Its gonna be okay Em," Jt said with a smile on his face.
"Yeah you don't have to deal with Jay at least," Toby said before wincing at the comment.
"No just the entire school," she said taking a deep breath.
"Hey at least you have us to keep you company," Danny said causing Emma to laugh.
"Oh my god she laughed people," Jt said looking around. "Can we please get a recording on this?" He said smiling back at her.
"Thanks you guys," she said with a smile on her face. "Come on lets get this day over with," she said as they walked towards the school entrance. Emma went to get a few books out of her locker.
"Is this what felt like for you?" She asked Manny and she nodded her head rembering those dreadful days. "I am so sorry I wasn't there for you," Emma said looking up at Manny.
"Hey thats all in the past Emma," she said rubbing her shoulder.
"EMMA!" A voice called from down the hall. Emma shut her locker to see Craig, Jimmy and Hazel coming her way.
"Hey guys!" She said looking at everyone except Jimmy.
"How are you holding up?" Jimmy said gripping onto her hand lightly.
"I am doing okay you," she said looking down at him.
"I am great Emma really," Jimmy said trying to reassure her. "You know this isn't your fault," he said causing her to look up.
"Thanks but some how I don't believe that," she said before walking the other direction. Manny gave them one last look before catching up with Emma. ((()))
Emma managed to get through half of the day without breaking down. Jimmy saw her sitting alone at another table. He turned back to his friends with an angry expression on his face. 'I am gonna kill Jay,' he thought to himself.
"Hey honey you okay?" Hazel said rubbing his arm.
"Its not me you should be worrying about," he said as they all looked over at Emma. She was playing with her food when a guy sat next to her.
"Hey babe," he said placing his arm on the back of the chair.
"What do you want?" She said slightly scooting away from him.
"I heard the you give amazing blow jobs," he said rubbing her lower arm. "I was just wondering if you could meet me after school," he whispered.
"Get real loser," she said pushing him away.
"Oh come on baby you know you want to," he said running his hand up her leg.
"Don't touch me stop," Emma said trying to move his hand away.
"Hey I think the lady said to stop," a voice said from behind. The guy looked up to see Craig, Marco, Jimmy and some guys from the basketball team.
"A guy can take the hint," he said raising his hand in the air. "I was leaving anyways," he said as he pushed past them.
"Thanks guys," she said looking down. Jimmy rolled over to her and wapped his arm around her.
"Its gonna be okay Emma," he said in a low voice.
"Yeah we are all here for you," Marco said with a small smile.
"Look why don't you sit with us," Craig said grabbing her tray.
"Alright," she said getting up.
"You just stick with us and everything will be fine," Craig said wrapping his arm around her. Emma nodded her head and Paige offered her a seat next to hers. ((()))
Emma was getting some things for her last hour class. She closed her locker down to see Alex headed her way. Emma rolled her eyes and began walking the other direction. The last thing she needed right now was a fight with Alex.
"Hey Nature Freak?" Alexyelled. "Hey I am talking to you," she said hitting Emma book out of her arms.
"What do you want Alex?" She said knealing down to pick up her things.
"I just wanted to ask you something," she said moving closer to her.
"What's that?" Emma said crossing her arms over her books.
"Did you really like Jay? Or were you just trying to be another slut like Manny?" She said with a smirk on her face.
"Look I know what I did was wrong," she began. "But don't you ever talk about Manny like that again," she said in a firm voice.
"Oh i guess I struck a nerve," she said slightly laughing. "I can't see how anyone would want a prude princess like you," she said giving her a disgusted look.
"Well your boyfriend did," she said with a small smile. "I guess someone else wasn't satisfying his needs," she said before she walked away.
Alex grabbed her arm causing Emma to turn and face her. Emma pushed her back when a teacher came out.
"Is there a problem here ladies?" He asked crossing his arms.
"No sir I was just getting to class," Alex said still glaring at Emma. Emma walked the opposite direction. When Emma got home from school she rushed into her room.
"What happend to her Archie?" Spike asked walking over to him.
"I don't know she won't tell me," he said wrapping his arms around her.
"I just want my daughter back," she said sobbing into his chest.
Snake ran his hand through her hair. He wanted the exact same thing but knew it would never happen. Emma was sitting on her bed crying her eyes out. She looked up when she heard her cell phone ring. It was Manny but she didn't feel like talking.
She was getting call all night from her friend but never anwsered. She didn't know if she was every gonna be able to get through another day at school. She soon cried herself to sleep hoping that when she woke up it would all be a nightmare. ((()))
