Author's Note: I'm sorry for the long delay, but I had surgery done and because of that and the recovery time I couldn't update until now. I have been in a lot of pain. But I hope you enjoy this chapter. I don't know if it's any good but I hope you enjoy anyway. Peace

Chapter 6

Emma stretched her body out and looked at the body next to her. God she loved this man. Sean was her everything. She decided not to go back to high-school. Her parents were disappointed in her but she told them that she would graduate early. Actually she took all the classes needed to graduate with Craig's class. She finished early which made her parents more okay with this. They asked her about college and she told them that she would take online classes until she was ready to actually go. Spike and Snake weren't happy but they trusted Emma's judgment.

"Hey you up?", asked a sleepy Sean rubbing his eyes to get the sleep out.

"Yeah I just woke up", said Emma smiling at him.

Sean smiled pulled her towards him.

"Love you Em", whispered Sean kissing her lips softly.

Emma smiled at him and said, "Love you too".

"Ah it's time to get up", said Sean.

Emma nodded her head but still had her head laying on Sean's shoulders.

"I love it like this, you and me, in the morning", said Emma.

Sean nodded his head and kissed her forehead.

"Me too but we have work to do", said Sean grunted as he got up.

Emma nodded her head. Getting up from the bed. She got dressed and picked up Sean's clothing from the floor. She a small velvet box fell out of the pocket. Emma picked it up looking at it.

"NO this can't be what I think it is", said Emma to herself.

She opened the ring box and gasped at the beautiful ring inside.

"Emma can you get my towel from my suitcase", yelled Sean from the shower.

He startled her almost making her drop the ring. She quickly closed the box and smiled.

"I'm going to marry that man", whispered Emma.

"He is going to ask me to be his wife", said Emma.

She let out a small squeal jumping up and down. She calmed herself down and grabbed the towel from Sean's suitcase.

"Hey here is your robe", said Emma placing the towel on the towel rack.

"Thanks baby", said Sean as he showered. Emma smiled before exiting the room.

They had rented this house to stay in. Emma walked down the stairs to find Manny and Craig already eating breakfast.

"Hey Emma I made pancakes", said Craig eating.

Emma nodded her head. Emma got pancakes off the stove and sat down next to Manny to discuss what would be happening next.

"You guys have interviews and then back to touring this week", said Emma pulling out her book where she kept all of the bands appointments, interviews, etc.

Manny nodded her head.

Marco woke up a little later. He groaned out in pain. The aspirin wasn't working for him. He opened the bottle however and swallowed three aspirins once more. He knew that he shouldn't be doing this because he might get addicted but he was scared to find out exactly what was wrong with him. He knew he had to though. He would talk to Ellie. They had one day off this week at least that is what Emma and Sean told them. He sighed once more. This couldn't continue. He talked to his father the other day. They finally had it out. His father hated him being gay. He couldn't even wrap his mind around it. Marco sighed once more. He wanted his father to be okay with this but he knew that was a long shot. His mother was okay with it. She supported him no matter what, which he was intensely grateful for. It was amazing really how she accepted him no question asked. Marco sighed once more before getting up and going down the stairs to find the rest of them eating breakfast.

"Hey sleepyhead", said Ellie smiling at Marco.

"Hey sorry I'm late just really tired", said Marco reaching over to take a cup of juice.

Ellie saw Marco wince and she raised her eyebrows in concern. Marco looked at her giving her a look telling her not to say anything. Ellie nodded her head before turning her attention back to Jimmy.

Jimmy's father sat in his living room drowning his sorrows with brandy. He didn't know what to do. He couldn't let Jimmy find out his secret but he didn't want to hurt his son by trying to break him and Ellie up. He knew that Jimmy loved the girl, even more so then he had ever loved Hazel. He was scared and torn about what to do. He just didn't know because either way Jimmy would hate him for life. He sighed once more.

"God did you make up your mind yet", said Hazel glaring at him.

"Yes I did", said Paul looking at the young girl in front of him.

"I'll help you, but this secret stays between you and I", said Paul.

Hazel smirked before walking out of the apartment. Paul sighed. He just lied to Hazel, he wasn't going to let that little girl blackmail him. He would do everything for his son's happiness even though he didn't like Ellie, Jimmy did and that was all that mattered. Now he had to find a way to fix this problem that he got himself in. He sighed and he knew what he had to do. He reached for the phone then.

Manny smiled and answered the questions as best as she could.

"So what is the next single?", asked the interviewer.

"Oh the next single is one that me and Craig wrote together, it's called "Not yours truly".

"We are going to play it for you right now", said Manny standing next to the microphone.

Manny swayed back and forth closing her eyes. Craig gave her wink before that though and she smiled.

Watch me, as I'm coming in the room I feel your stare
Watch me, in a crowd of people I can feel you there
Watch me, cause I'm mine and you don't own me
Watch me, I'll use you and abuse you then leave you lonely

Manny really was getting into the song. Craig smiled at her. Completely in love with her. It just hit him square in the chest. He always told her he loved her. He just really realized how much till now. It was an amazing feeling really.


Watch me
Touch me
I know you want me
I'm so sexy

Don't expect too much from me
I'm not your little girl
Don't expect too much from me
Cuz I'm not your little girl

Their connection in their music brought them closer then imaginable. When they wrote a song together it was like a merger of their souls. Manny was an excellent writer. He honestly believed that they were soul mates. It was never like this with Ashley. With her it was a constant battle to prove himself worthy. Manny made him feel worthy, like he was important.


I'm not yours
I'm not your
I'm not your little girl

Touch me, yeah I know you want to, but you know you can't
Touch me, I get more satisfaction with my own hands
Touch me, yeah I know you like it when I scream your name
Touch me, yeah you know I'd let you but you'd go insane

Watch me
Touch me
I know you want me
I'm so sexy

This song was Manny's really. This album had her own personal touch really. She gave everything thing she was into the music. It was amazing to see this young girl become a woman. He saw her become that in front of him. It was amazing to see really.


Don't expect too much from me
I'm not your little girl
Don't expect too much from me
Cuz I'm not your little girl
I'm not yours
I'm not your
I'm not your little girl

He stared at her face as she sang. He was obsessed with her he knew that. He wanted her period and that rocker boyfriend of hers wasn't getting in the way. He would be taken out if he got in his way. He sent her 500 letters this time. He went to every show she did and he loved her, he craved her.

"She will be mine", said the man with blond hair and green eyes.

If Manny knew this man's thoughts she would be scared. But she wouldn't know until much later about this man's unhealthy fascination with her. His fascination with Manny Santos the superstar will eventually turn dangerous.

"Marco what is wrong?", asked Ellie later that night as they sat in the living room.

"I have been having this extreme pain in my back and legs, I was scared to find out what it is, but I need to go, so I was wondering if you would go with me", said Marco.

Ellie nodded her head.

"Oh of course, Marco I'm there", said Ellie hugging him.

Marco sighed and returned his attention back to the TV.

Later that night, Marco stared at the pills in his hands he knew it was wrong but he couldn't stop himself. His hands shook violently. Marco closed his eyes tilting his head before swallowing the pills. Marco let out a sigh of relief. Now he could sleep.

"What is it dad?", asked Jimmy rolling his wheelchair.

Paul had called 30 minutes ago asking to meet up with him. Paul sighed and tried to calm his nerves.

"There is something I have to tell you", sad Paul.

Ellie walked towards the living room and jumped back when Jimmy yelled out, "You did what!".
