"Here, I'll sleep on the couch" Sean offered as she was sitting in his bed and he gathered blankets for himself, Emma couldn't even speak.
"Sean" she finally said and he turns quickly
"Can you stay?" she bit her lip trying hard not to cry, she sniffs and breaths "Just tonight…" he slowly nods putting blankets back down.
Emma laid down closing her eyes into the scent of Sean's bed, she wanted it to be over, Jay was haunting her but Sean was like her knight, fighting it away.
Sean slowly lay on the bed and put covers over himself and her. She buried into the covers like she wanted to be hidden. Sean put his hand out, hesitated but then slowly wraps it around her, she leaned against him and closed her eyes.
Sean was about to fall asleep and heard her words "It hurt so bad…" Sean opens his eyes and Emma's back was against him still but still leaning on him. He held her tighter to show he was there
"What happened?" he whispers in her ear she closed her eyes painfully.
"I told him to stop but he wouldn't…he even tied me" she let tears slip and her voice was crackly.
"Shh, you don't have to explain it right now" he said and she nods falling back into his arms for relaxation and slept.
Sean looked down at the goddess and kissed the top of her head and got more comfy holding her and fell asleep.
It was around 12:30 in the morning when there were bangs at the door of heavy knocking. Emma's eyes snapped open looking to Sean.
He groans leaning back and stretching, best sleep ever and it was over just like that? Stupid intruder. "It's just Manny" he tells her and gets up going to the door.
Emma laid there for a second until getting up and following.
"Where is she? Is she okay?" Manny came in with a panic and a bag "I want to see her"
"Manny" Sean rubs his face "She's-"
"Right here" Emma came over and Sean watched her closely
"I brought you your stuff" Manny softly said handing it to Emma who just nods.
Sean knew what she was doing and didn't like it. Acting as if it never happened just so Manny wouldn't worry about you. But this time Emma needed help and she needed to face that.
Emma went in to change leaving Manny and Sean alone.
"She seems okay" Manny noticed and Sean just snickers
"She's playing you Manny" he goes to the kitchen for a water
Manny gave a look "Why would she do that?" she questions and Sean eyes her
"Have you seen yourself when you panic? You're like the cartoon guy who spins and spins" he taunts and nods toward the room Emma was in "She doesn't want you like that, she doesn't want to explain what happened" he says
"Why did she tell you then?" Manny said
"She came right after I guess" shrugs Sean "She couldn't hold it, plus I don't spin" he taunts her and she folds arms
"No you pound people in the face" she shot back and Sean chuckles
"Yep, and I'm just waiting impatiently for a name" he smiled proudly and then frowns, he looks down "I think she was raped…" it all came together and Manny stared.
Emma came back out wearing a navy t-shirt and ripped kind of jeans. Between her legs still hurt so she acted like she wanted to sit and looks to Manny
Manny noticed the little bruise "What happened?" Emma just shrugs and Manny looks to Sean who gave her 'I told you look'.
When Manny finally left Sean went to Emma sitting on the couch with her and offered a water. As she opened it Sean eyed her
"You can't hide that forever away from your own best friend" he admits and Emma looks at him
"Let's not talk about it, forget it happened" she says
"I'm not going to just forget, Emma! You came to my doorstep crying your eyes out, you have a ripped shirt, bruises and scratches… look at your wrists Emma" he said and she looked away thinking the wall was more interesting.
Sean breaths, she didn't need this… but one day of this week she's going to.
What's Sean going to do then? Will Emma tell him what happened and who did it?
