Spinner looked at the door and saw Manny's boyfriend and Kelly walk in. They saw him and walked toward him. Spinner knew this was not going to end well. He knew that Manny had a boyfriend but he had never told Jay about it. He was looking out for his best friend by not telling him that the girl he loved was with another guy. Spinner had only told him that Emma have a boyfriend. He didn't know what to do at that very moment.
"Sean, welcome back. Manny told me you were come back today." Craig said as he walked up to the table. He gave Sean a handshake. "Spinner." He nodded his head to Spinner. Spinner nodded back even though he felt uncomfortable at that moment. "Jay" He greeted coldly. Jay didn't even pay attention to him.
Craig and Kelly pulled over some chairs and sat with them.
"You're with Manny now?" Sean asked curiously. Manny had never mention in the letters that she wrote to him that she had gotten back with Craig.
"Yeah, I'm back with Manny. We have been together for a couple of months now." Craig said happily.
Sean let out a small laugh and then looks over at Jay. He saw how uncomfortable he looked. He sort of felt bad for him.
"O hey this is Kelly. He is Emma's boyfriend." Craig said as he pointed towards Kelly as he introduced him.
Jay looked over at Sean and shook his head as he laugh. Sean also became uncomfortable when he heard that Kelly was Emma's boyfriend. He tried is best to hide the pain he was feeling at that moment.
"I'm Sean. So how long have you been going out with Emma?" He said as he reached out his hand to shakes Kelly's.
"About 4 months. How do you know Emma?" Kelly asked curiously. He didn't remember Emma ever mention Sean's name since he meet her.
"Yeah, Sean. How do you know Emma?" Jay asked smirking. Sean heard Spinner chuckled.
"We have been friends since 7th grade." Sean said as he shot a glared at Jay then at Spinner.
"O. Cool. Sorry I didn't get your name?" Kelly said as he turned to look at Jay.
"Jay." He said as he didn't care to look at him.
"O. You're the guy that left Manny with…" Before he could finish Spinner cut him off.
"With a broken heart." Spinner said as he glared at Kelly. He kicked Kelly's shin as he tried to remind him not to mention anything about Jayden. They all had told Kelly who Jayden's father was and how he didn't know about Jayden. They told him not to mention to anyone that Manny had a baby especially when he was in this town.
Both Jay and Sean look at Spinner and Kelly with a confused face. Jay just shrugged it off and turned toward Craig. Sean continued to look at Spinner who shrugged his arms trying to convince Sean that nothing was up. Sean knew something was up but he was going to ask him right now.
Spinner and Jane were one of few people that helped Manny though the whole pregnancy. Spinner and Jane would take care of Jayden when Manny need a babysitter. Or when she had to go to the doctors one of them would take her. They were there when Jayden was born. They loved Jayden. They felt as if he was their nephew. Spinner and Jane became close friends with Manny almost like brother and sisters. They were the few people she could trust.
Spinner hated seeing Jay and not being able to tell him that he had a wonderful little boy. But he felt that if anyone should tell him it would have to be Manny. They had tried to convince her to talk to him and tell her him but it wouldn't work. She was too stubborn.
"Hey at least I wasn't the guy that left her for a bag of coke. Right, Craig?" Sean heard Jay say to Craig as he turned his attention back to Craig.
"I was different back then. I sober now." Craig said angrily. He hated when people brought up his past drug addiction.
"Sure." Jay said sarcastically. "You don't deserve her, man. You always treat her like shit when you guys are together." Jay said angrily. He didn't know why he was getting piss off. Just the thought of her being with him was making his blood boil.
"And what you think you are better for her? Lying to her. Breaking and entering for a stupid ring. Yeah, she definitely deserves a guy like you, Jay!" Craig said angrily almost yelling out the last sentence.
"It not a stupid ring, Coke head. I wasn't one that cheated on her twice. First with Ashley and then Ellie. Who's going to be next? Paige?" Jay fired backed.
"You're just jealous that she with me and not with you." Craig retorted.
"Are you sure you're not on coke right now because that the stupidest thing I ever heard. Why would be jealous of a wannabe rock star." Jay said as he got into Craig's face.
"Ok this is enough. Craig, Kelly, I think your order is ready." Spinners said sternly trying to end this fight between them before punches were thrown. He got up and gestured Craig and Kelly to go to the counter to get their food.
"Fine, we are leaving. So you coming to Manny's tomorrow?" Craig asked Sean as he and Kelly got up from their chairs.
"Yeah, I told Manny that I was going to pass by tomorrow." Sean said as he looked up at Craig.
"Ok. I will see you tomorrow." Craig said.
…
"So how long is Kelly going to stay here?" Manny asked Emma. They both were sitting on the couch watching TV. Jayden was sleeping in his crib.
"He doesn't know yet. He is waiting for his dad to call him when he needs him at work. Why?" Emma asked curiously as she watched Manny smirk.
"O it nothing." Manny said as she tried to play it off. She let out a small chuckle.
"No. What do you know? I am your best friend so tell me." Emma demanded. She knew that Manny was hiding something from her.
"I have a surprise for you tomorrow. Make sure you come solo though." Manny smiled.
"Why solo? What is it?" Emma asked. Millions of ideas were running through her mind as she tried to figure out what the surprise was and more importantly why she had to come by herself.
"You are just going to have to wait." Manny teased her. She was not going to tell her. She wanted her to be surprise when she saw Sean.
"Manny, please you have to tell me. I'm not going to talk to you until you do!" Emma threatened even though she knew she wasn't going to stay mad at Manny for long.
"Em, you cannot stay mad at me for a day." Manny smirked. "And no I'm not telling you. You have to wait until tomorrow."
"Fine." Emma pouted. She could tell that Manny was not going to tell even if she begged for the next five hours. She decided to change the topic to something that she needed to talk about with Manny. It had been bothering her for the past couple of days.
"So did Craig tell you why he came back so late last night?" Emma asked shyly. Craig and Kelly had been staying with them for the past couple of weeks. They both were going to leave soon: Craig had a tour in a couple of months and Kelly had to go back and help his father with his store.
"He said that he had to prepare something for his tour. He is not cheating on me, Em." Manny replied knowing what Emma was thinking. She had the same thoughts running through her mind last night. She decided to believe him when he told her that morning at he was busy with the tour preparations even though she still had her doubts.
"Manny, he has been coming back late the last couple of nights. I just don't want you to get hurt." Emma said sincerely. She didn't trust Craig. He had hurt Manny so many times that why she didn't believe this time would be different. She didn't want to see Manny get her heart broken again.
"I won't." She hoped.
...
Jay walked into his apartment after spending sometime at the bar with Sean and Spinner. He found his girlfriend sitting on the couch watching TV as he threw his jacket on chair.
"Hey babe, I am going to bed," He said as he went straight to his room without even looking at his girlfriend. Amy watched as he walked straight to his room. She was concerned about him. He looked upset. She thought he would have come home happy after he got to see his best friend who he had not seen for a year. She heard him slam the door behind him. She got up from the couch and followed him to his room to see what was wrong.
Amy found him lying on the bed with his arm over his eyes. "Baby, what's wrong. Is everything ok with Sean?" She said softly as she walked toward him.
"Yeah, he is fine." Jay replied.
"So why do you look so upset?" She lied down next to him. She laid her head on his chest and placed her arm around his waist.
"I just had a rough day." He said as he removed his arm that was covering his eyes.
"Do you want to talk about?" She said as she kissed his cheek.
"No." He responded. He turned his head toward the window as looking out to the sky.
"I know what will make you better." She started kissing his neck.
Jay laid there as he continued to look out the window as thoughts ran through his mind. How could she go back out with him? After everything he put she through she went back to him. After he got her pregnant, cheated on her, and chose cocaine over her, she still decided to go back out with him. I make one stupid mistake and now she wouldn't even pick up her phone. I guess maybe she was always meant to be with him. She probably never cared about me or even loved me. Then why can't I let her go? It obvious she has. I have a girlfriend that loves me but yet I cannot let her go. I have to let her go.
He looked over and smiled at his girlfriend. He knew she would always be there for him.
"I love you." Amy said sweetly.
"I love you too." He said as he leaned in and kissed her.
This chapter is setting up the next couple of chapters. So what do you think? What going to happen at the party? How will Emma react to seeing Sean? Until next time! Please Please REVIEW!!!!
