"Coming home early to surprise her one true love, how romantic!" sighed Manny, going through the airport with Emma to then growl, "But I would of LOVED staying the rest of the time!"
"Manny, we'd be coming back in a week anyways." Emma teased.
They went out the entrance of the airport where Spike happily bounced up and down, running to her daughter and Manny, pulling them in a big hug.
When they got home, Emma raced into the best outfit she could. A yellow long waist pair or short shorts, and a white lace tank top would do, she looked cute! Her hair had grown out a LOT during summer. Her bangs were long now and swept to the side. She put her sunglasses on her head and ran out the door.
She'd suprize him at work!
Emma walked into the loud garage, a bunch of guys working on cars in their monkey suits.
Emma went towards the front desk as those guys lifted their masks or dropped their tools to stare and awe her.
Even Tyler, at the front desk, dropped the phone he was speaking into when he caught sight of her.
Emma put her sunglasses off and over her head as she smiled down. Tyler quickly retreated and told the caller to call back before he hung up.
"Uh h-hi, when can I do you?" Tyler cursed himself and corrected, "WHAT can I do you for, sorry, sorry!" he apologised quickly.
Emma nodded slowly, giving him a wierd smile but laughed, "I'm looking for Jay, is he working?"
Tyler then seemed to get more calmer around her as he eyed her.
"Are you the long lost girl friend?" he teased but was dying to know as she smiled sadly, nodding. Tyler then glanced at his cell phone on his desk.
All the pictures he took at the party.
"You are as pretty as he said." Tyler admitted as he stood up.
Emma blushed a bit, not really by Tyler's comments but that Jay was actually talking about her.
Tyler bit his tounge, "Can we talk, Emma?" he asked seriously, trying to muster as much sympathy on his face as he could.
Emma got a bad vibe and looked around. Jay must of not been working. Was this going to be about Jay?
"Look..." Tyler said, leading Emma to the front of the garage for privacy, "I like Jay, he's like a brother but.. since you I've noticed a great change in him."
"So what's going on?" Emma asked, laughing nervously.
Tyler dug his hands into his pockets, "He's falling off track again, I just need you to pick him back up again. I'm so glad your back."
Emma's face fell, "What do you mean... OFF track?" she slowly asked.
Tyler sighed, looking down, "It shouldn't be me to tell you. We just met." He confirmed.
"Tell. Me." Emma ordered, feeling a lump in her throat starting to form. Don't cry, don't cry. You haven't even heard what he had to say! Maybe it isn't what your thinking.
"The other day, I mean.. there's been other girls but I only saw this one up close and personal cause I knew her, Melissa." He told Emma.
Emma sucked in a shakey breath.
Not a good start. Oh god. Oh god. Oh god.
Tyler went on, "The girl asked him if he had a girl friend, he replied 'i guess. Yet.. went to a party with her that night, and.. it wasn't pretty, Em."
Emma snapped her eyes up at him, not liking her knew her nickname.. nor this info.
"I'm leaving." Emma bittered, glaring at him, she didn't trust him.
"Got a number?"
"Excuse me!"
"I meant so I could send you something." Tyler insisted.
Emma looked at his phone when he slowly pulled it out for her until she dialled a number into it and slowly handed it back, eyeing him.
"Coming at you." he said after pressed a button.
Emma looked down at her phone confused until a picture of Jay at the party came on it. She went through it, tears watering more and more until she got to the picture of them holding hands
Emma choked on a cry and covered her mouth. She then ran out of there.
KNOCK KNOCK
Jay groaned, in his apartment and hearing his door being banged.
KNOCK KNOCK
"I'm coming!" he called and finally opened it.
Emma.
He felt so much like a little boy who got exactly what he wanted on Christmas morning.
And fuck, she looked..Jay's heart started to pound like no tomorrow as he grinned widely.
"Em." He breathed out happily.
That was until she made no move to go closer and she stared him hard in the eye, holding her phone and shaking her head at him.
"What?" he asked, going to take her hand to lead her in and she yanked it out of his grip.
"Don't touch me." Emma said through clenched teeth.
Jay's mouth fell and shook his head confused, "What's wrong?" he asked and she flipped her phone out madly and raised it up to his face.
Melissa, when she was guiding his drunk ass out of the party. Shit. Definatly looked like they were just casually holding hands.
Emma sniffed and held her tears back before she stormed off, tossing over her shoulder, "We're done!"
Jay was only wear his black pants but ran after her, "no,no,no." He begged desperately, trying to explain and tried grabbing her back.
She tried to take his hands off of her but he cupped her face hard, trying to force her to look at him.
"It wasn't like that!" he insisted, eyes filled with so much promise. She had fell for his lies, she couldn't believe it.
Emma shrugged out of his grip and shoved him back with all she had, it wasn't much, but it got him off of her.
"you said it yourself before I left, your not use to being a one girl kinda guy. So go ahead Jay! Fuck all the girls you want, I'm sick and tired of this, feeling unsure of what YOU want. I was a joke to believe this could last. Everyone was right." She bittered through tears and charged off.
Jay watched her storm out like he was watching his own heart being ripped out of him and watching it skip away. And you can't live without a heart.
Jay looked like he was in shock.
He shut his eyes tiredly, that couldn't of just happened, could it of?
He ran his hands through his hair and sighed, until gripping his hair tightly and madly clenched his teeth and dove a fist through the wall beside him. IT even dented a whole.
"FUCK!"
