(A/N): WOO! I GOT MY PERMIT!! YEAH! I CAN DRIVE WITH A LICENSED PERSON 25 YEARS OR OLDER!!!!!!
Ever since Goldeye told Emma that it would be better if they didn't see each other he's been angry and depressed. He barely talked to anyone and was like a walking robot. He went to class, ate, studied, and slept. He would mumble a few words to Sean before leaving to his apartment. Emma wasn't much better. She was much the same, but she would only talk to Alana. She didn't even want to look at Renegade. Sure Renegade felt bad, but he rather have his cousin mad at him for a while than her dating Goldeye.
"Hey Goldeye…" Sean said as Goldeye nodded in his direction. "How's it going?" Sean asked as he sat across from him.
"Fine." He muttered spinning a bottle cap back and forth between his fingers.
"You can't go on like this Goldeye." Sean said as Goldeye continued to watch the bottle cap roll. "Goldeye! It's not healthy to act like this!" Sean said raising his voice. "God damn it Goldeye! Fucking listen to me!" Sean yelled slamming his fists on the table. It made the cap stop spinning and Goldeye glared at Sean. He stood up and grabbed his bag and glared down at Sean.
"You fucking know what I'm going through Sean. To have to tell her I didn't want to see her anymore! The hardest thing that I ever did! You of all people should know how horrible this is for me." Goldeye said before storming away as Sean sighed.
"What's the matter with you?!" Lauren said as she glared at Renegade.
"Uh…" Renegade said as he looked at her confused.
"I can't believe you told – wait no, threatened the guy your cousin likes to not see her anymore!" Lauren yelled as Renegade rolled his eyes and returned to making coffees.
"It's bad enough I'm working at a Starbucks, but I don't need to hear your yelling while here." Renegade said as Lauren crossed her arms.
"Renegade, why would you do that? You're not her father or brother. You can't tell her what to do!" Lauren said as Renegade sighed.
"You don't know Goldeye like I do." He said as Lauren rolled her eyes.
"You barely know shit about him! You both just give attitude to each other, but you barely know anything about each other!" Lauren said as Renegade glared at her.
"Why are you even here?" Renegade said as Lauren jumped over the counter.
"Renegade, she is practically in depression. You have to let her be with him." Lauren said as Renegade growled.
"I rather cut off my dick before I do anything like that." Renegade said as Lauren hissed.
"Jeez, graphic." Lauren said as Renegade growled. "Renegade…" She said putting her arm around his shoulder as Renegade raised his eyebrow. She pulled his ear down extremely hard as he hissed in pain. "You better fixed the shit you caused before I deliver the news to Alana that she'll never bare children." She threatened before pushing him aside and strutting out of the coffee shop. AJ and Lazarus were talking in front of a sandwich shop when Black came up soaking wet. When he came closer Lazarus and AJ start to choke.
"She dumped perfume on you!" AJ coughed out as he covered his nose.
"She's going to get it." Black growled as Lazarus rolled his eyes.
"When are you guys going to stop this and just go on a fucking date?" Lazarus said as he pushed Black back to get the smell away.
"Until she gives up!" Black said jabbing his finger in the air.
"God, just take a fucking shower!" AJ said running away as Black slumped his shoulders and walked to his apartment. Goldeye was sitting in his Crime Analysis class when his symbol started to burn on his hand. He hissed loudly in pain as he gripped his wrist.
"Is there a problem Mr. Swift?" The professor asked as Goldeye looked up to see everybody looking at him.
"I…I just need to go!" He struggled out as he got and ran out of the classroom. He slid against the wall as he held his hand in pain. He knew something was causing Emma pain…a lot of pain. He struggled to stand up as he walked slowly out of the building.
"Goldeye?!" Bijou yelled running over to him. Goldeye weakly looked up at her as she put her arms around him for support. "What happened?" She said in a panic.
"W-Where's Emma?" He said roughly as Bijou looked at him confused.
"I don't know. What happened Goldeye?" She asked again. Goldeye gently pushed her off and started to do a weak jog.
"I…I need to find Emma." Goldeye said as Bijou watched him jog away.
"Sean…there's something wrong." Bijou said into her cell phone. Renegade was hanging out with Julian outside Starbucks talking about his date.
"And we made the hottest-"Renegade raised his hand to cut him off and shook his head.
"I don't need nor want to know." Renegade said as Julian shrugged.
"Well…yeah. We had a great time. She loved it. Thanks for taking care of Luca by the way." Julian said as Renegade rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, you better be thankful." He said as Julian scoffed.
"He's not even bad. Compared to Matt he's an angel." Julian said as Renegade got thrown against the wall.
"Where is she?" Goldeye struggled out holding Renegade against the wall with one arm. He was using all the strength he could muster just to keep him there.
"Like fuck I'll tell you." Renegade said as Goldeye glared at him.
"W-What happened to her-r?" He hissed as Renegade raised his eyebrow.
"Nothing…nothing that I know of. She wouldn't talk to me because of you!" He said as Goldeye growled at him.
"It's-s your fault." He said through his teeth as Renegade glared at him.
"You don't deserve her." Renegade said still incredibly calm as Goldeye slammed him in the wall.
"Y-You don't think I know-w that?" He said holding his arm in pain. "Forget it. You're no help-p." He said before running away weakly.
"What's wrong with him?" Julian asked as Renegade rolled his eyes.
"I don't give a shit." Renegade said as Julian shook his head.
"This guy really brings the worst out of you." Julian said as Renegade glared at him. "He can't be all bad." Julian said as Renegade scoffed.
"You don't know the half of it." Renegade said as Julian shook his head. Sean was running through campus looking for Goldeye hoping to find him quickly. He rammed into someone and fell flat on his band.
"Whoa, sorry." Andrew said helping Sean up as Sean dusted himself up.
"No problem." Sean said as he spotted a drumstick in his hand. "You play the drums?" He asked as Andrew twirled it.
"Yeah…I'm in a band. Do you?" He asked as Sean shook his head.
"I play guitar." Sean said as Andrew nodded. "I'm Sean by the way." Sean said as Andrew shook his hand.
"Andrew." He said as Sean remembered what he was supposed to be doing.
"Um…I know we just met, but do you think you can help me?" Sean asked as Andrew shrugged his shoulders.
"Sure. What do you need?" Andrew asked as Sean sighed in relief.
"I need help finding someone. His name is Goldeye and he's a light brown dingo with gold eyes. A little taller than me and he's not answering his phone!" Sean said as Andrew nodded.
"No problem. I'll help." He said as they both started running to search for him. Julian was walking to his next class when Donovan stopped him.
"Hey what's up?" Donovan asked as Julian stiffened.
"Nothing! Why would something be wrong? I didn't see anything." Julian said panicky as Donovan raised his eyebrow.
"Ok, what happened?" Donovan said crossing his arms.
"Nothing!" He said as Donovan glared at him.
"Don't make me do it." He said as Julian's breath caught in his throat.
"Donovan…" Julian warned as Donovan let his arms drop by his sides.
"All you have to do is tell me." Donovan said as Julian backed up a bit.
"I told you there's nothing wrong…" Julian said as he placed his backpack down. Donovan grabbed him and with super speed climbed the highest tree he saw and stood on the branch as he let Julian hang. "Donovan! Donovan! Donovan! This is not funny! Climb back down!" Julian yelled as he hung at least twenty feet off the ground.
"Tell me!" Donovan yelled as Julian tried to pull himself up.
"Fine! I saw Kim with another guy holding hands!" He said as Donovan froze and let him drop. Julian screamed, but stopped when Donovan grabbed him when he was on the ground.
"What did you say?" Donovan asked as Julian tried to catch his breath.
"She was with another guy." He said as Donovan clenched his fists. "Donovan it's ok." Julian said as Donovan shrugged his shoulders.
"I know. I mean it was just all about getting with her and nothing else." He said casually as Julian put his hand on his shoulder.
"Donovan…" Julian said as Donovan shrugged his shoulders.
"Julian, I'm fine." He said as he picked up Julian's bag. "You should get to class." He said tossing him his backpack before walking away. Julian sighed before walking away. Goldeye was searching everywhere for her, but couldn't find her anywhere.
"Goldeye!" Sean yelled as Goldeye kept walking. "What's wrong?" Sean asked as Andrew stayed a good distance away.
"She's in pain. Extreme pain. I need to find her." He said quickly as he collapsed on his knees in exhaustion and pain. "I need to find her…" He said in a whisper.
"Did you ask Renegade?" Sean asked as Goldeye scoffed.
"He didn't even tell me being the ass he is." Goldeye said as Sean sighed. "I need to go." He said struggling up and running away.
"Come back!" Sean yelled as Goldeye just kept running.
"Wait, that was the asshole Renegade told me about?" Andrew said walking next to Sean.
"Probably…" Sean said sadly.
"He doesn't seem bad." Andrew said as Sean put his arms in the air.
"Thank you!" Sean said as Andrew laughed.
"No problem." He said as Sean looked at the direction he ran off and started to worry. Goldeye was running through the psychology wing when a voice stopped him.
"Goldeye?" Alana said coming next to him. "What's wrong?" She asked worriedly.
"Emma…" He said as Alana looked down sadly. "I-I know you know about this-s. What happened-d to her?" He asked holding his arm in pain.
"Goldeye…" She said quietly as Goldeye put his hands on her arms.
"P-Please Alana. What-t happened to her? This is the most pain I felt in my life-e." He said looking at her as Alana's eyes turned a deep blue.
"…Her Dad died." She whispered as Goldeye dropped his arms and froze. "She found out about an hour ago." She said not looking at him.
"Where is she?" He said lowly as Alana looked at him.
"The roof of the Biomedicine building." She said as Goldeye took off running faster than he has all day. Emma was sitting on the roof watching the sunset. Her knees were close to her chest and her arms wrapped around them. She sniffled as the wind blew her hair back. Goldeye smashed the door open and Emma whipped around to see him. His eyes softened as he looked at her red puffy, tear-stained eyes.
"Emma…" He whispered coming closer to her. Emma choked out a sob as she got up and ran into his arms.
"He's g-gone! He l-left and he's n-not coming back-k!" She sobbed into his chest as he held her tightly. She continued to cry as Goldeye pushed passed his pain and continued to hold her. Her knees soon gave up and they both kneeled on the ground holding each other.
"Why didn't she tell me?" Renegade asked as he sat across from Alana.
"Why do you think Renegade?" Alana said as Renegade spun his hat around the table.
"But this was serious. She could have told me." Renegade said as Alana looked at him shocked.
"You don't think the whole Goldeye thing was serious." Alana said as a statement. Renegade crossed his arms.
"It was never going to work out between them. Goldeye can't handle just being with one girl." Renegade said as Alana looked at him disgusted.
"How can you say that when you don't even know him?" Alana asked as Renegade opened his mouth to say something. "Don't even say you know him. You don't Renegade. You may know a few things, but you don't know how he really is. Emma does." Alana said as Renegade rolled his eyes.
"I know enough to see that he isn't right for her." Renegade said placing his hat back on his head.
"You obviously don't." Alana said crossing her arms as Renegade looked taken back. "You're being incredibly selfish. You're ruining her happiness because it involves a guy you hate. You went out of your way to stop it and that was incredibly selfish." Alana said as she stood up from the table they were sitting at.
"Alana…can you please see it from my perspective?" He said as Alana shook her head.
"Walk in Emma's, actually Goldeye's shoes and maybe I will." She said walking out of his apartment as he sighed. Serenity was at the Laundromat doing some laundry when Conner came up and hugged her from behind.
"Hello." Serenity said with a smile as Conner laughed.
"Laundry day?" He asked as he sat on the washing machine next to hers.
"No, I just come here for fun." Serenity said sarcastically as Conner shrugged his shoulders.
"Oo…why haven't you seen you in these?" Conner said holding up a lacy practically see-through bra as Serenity smiled.
"Because it's your sister's." She said as his eye widened.
"OH MY GOD!" He yelled throwing it down on the ground and rubbing his hands on his legs. Serenity started to crack up as Conner glared at her. "You think that's funny?" He said as Serenity stopped laughing.
"Yeah." She said with a smirk as he jumped off the washer and grabbed her around the waist. He started to spin her around as she laughed. The girl from the skate park – Cat – walked by glaring at Serenity before leaving the store. Serenity looked at her retreating form confused as Conner put her down.
"What's wrong?" He asked as he looked at Serenity.
"That girl…she seems familiar." Serenity said as Conner looked up.
"You probably have just seen her around campus." Conner said as Serenity continued to look worried.
"Yeah…maybe." She said with a half smile as Conner kissed her sweetly. Renegade was walking around the park letting the crisp night air fuel his thoughts.
"What are you doing here?" He heard a familiar voice say. He turned to see Hydro looking at him confused.
"Just gathering thoughts." He murmured as Hydro started to walk with him.
"Emma?" Hydro guessed as Renegade nodded. "What's going on now?" Hydro asked stuffing his hands in his pockets.
"Depends…what have you heard?" Renegade asked as Hydro shrugged his shoulders.
"The latest thing is that you won't let Goldeye see Emma." Hydro said as Renegade shook his head.
"I guess I should catch you up." He said as Hydro nodded. "Well, Goldeye actually listened to me this time and told Emma that he didn't want to see her anymore. Emma knew I set him up to do it and won't talk to me. Today Emma's Dad died and she didn't even tell me about it. Alana and I got into an argument about this whole thing and she left calling me selfish." Renegade said as Hydro frowned.
"You are being selfish." Hydro said bluntly as Renegade looked at him incredulously. "Why do you want Goldeye away from Emma? Because you don't like him. You have problems with him. You are the one who hates him. This has nothing to do with you. This is all about Emma and Goldeye and not about you. Emma and Goldeye. There's no Renegade involved with that." Hydro ranted as Renegade scowled. Hydro sighed as he looked at Renegade's face. "You can scowl, argue, and ignore this, but either way you have to face this problem and deal with it in the right way." Hydro said as he sped away leaving the park. Renegade sighed and sat down on a nearby bench thinking over everything. Thunder sounded as Renegade looked up to see the small raindrops fall from the sky. He sighed before standing up. He lessened the energy of the raindrops around him so they would fall around him instead of on him.
'I hope Emma is ok.' He thought as he walked home. Goldeye held Emma as the raindrops mirrored the tears on her face. He held her tighter against him as she clung to his shirt.
"Emma…" Goldeye said as Emma nodded. "Do you want to go home?" Goldeye asked softly as she chocked out a sobbed and nodded. Goldeye lifted her up and off the ground. She wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck. She rested her head on his shoulders as he held her tightly around her abdomen. He moved as fast as he could while trying not to jostle Emma around too much.
"Can we p-please go to y-your place-e?" She asked sniffling as Goldeye nodded. He staggered up the stairs to his apartment as he tried to make sure that Emma wouldn't fall. He placed her down to open his door before leading her in to his one bedroom apartment. He flicked the lights on as Emma slowly looked around.
"I'll get you some dry clothes." Goldeye said walking down the small hall in his apartment. Emma made her way to the soft looking black couch and sat down in a stiff position. She never knew what to do in another person's home especially a boy's. Goldeye returned with a black shirt and a pair of sweatpants. "I hope you don't mind. I don't exactly own women's clothes." Goldeye said as Emma smiled softly.
"Its fine…thanks." She said in a raspy voice. She blushed before grabbing the clothes and entering the bathroom. Goldeye walked into his room and changed quickly before walking back to the living room. Emma came out soon enough with her clothes rolled up in a wet ball. She was only wearing the shirt which ended above her knees. Goldeye's eyes widened a bit before returning back to normal. He scanned her from head to toe as she blushed. "Um…the sweatpants were…too big." She said awkwardly as Goldeye stared at her. He couldn't take his eyes off her legs and she cleared her throat to get his attention back.
"Oh, um…it's ok." He said scratching the back of his head. Emma nodded and sat on the couch next to him. She brought her knees to her chest and rested her head on them. Thoughts of her Dad ran through her head as she started to cry again. She sobbed into her knees as Goldeye scooted closer and wrapped his arms around her.
"I'm here for you…" He said as she sobbed into his chest. "And I'm not going anywhere." He said as she held him tighter.
(A/N): Aw…that's tough for her.
