"See yeah Miss Cameron." Jay said, passing by Linda with Manny and Sean and Emma behind them.

They were going to the mall.

Manny smiled to Linda who waved and was gardening. Linda watched them pile into the orange civic, and leave. She smiled and went back to work, to take a deep breath and wipe her forehead from sweat. She paused, thinking maybe she was working herself too hard today but ignored it and just worked slower.

At the mall, the guys were in hell as the girls shopped FOREVER. They sat at the food court when Jay rubbed his stomach, getting hungry.

"So," Jay decided to make conversation, smirking cheshire like, "Hows living with the ex?"

Sean paused, ripping his eyes off of boredly watching the over sized clock above the food court, to taking a deep breath and trying to find a word that described Emma's stay with him.

"Mhm." Jay nodded.

Sean looked at him wierdly, "I didn't even say anything."

"You got that look in your eye." Jay said, pointing at his eyes and leaned forward, "The Emma has me wrapped around her finger but I'm not an enough to take my woman back look."

Sean sneered at him, "There's no look!"

"Riiiiiight."

Sean angered, leaning forward himself to try his damn hardest to convince Jay, but then, the girls came back, bags all over.

"Hey." Manny greeted snapping them out of it as the girls realised they were in the middle of something, "Jay..." drifted Manny, seeing the smug look on Jay's face.

"What dimples?" he asked innocently.

Classic Jay and Sean moment, Jay was looking smug and happy since he got under Sean's skin, and Sean was looking like he was having issues with controlling his anger but he stayed quiet.

Emma looked between them oddly, shared a look with Manny, then got over it when Jay spoke up.

"Waiting for you has me hungry now." Jay informed, raising an eyebrow at the girls like they shouldn't of made him wait so long.

Manny exclaimed while annoyed, "You should of done it while we shopped!"

"I'm kinda hungry too." Emma admitted and Jay nodded with her, getting up to pick something out

"Fine!" Manny said and then Sean had bags pushed into his chest, "Then me and Sean are going to take stuff to the car."

"We are?" Sean somewhat whined but took the bags as Manny glared at him. Jay was right, her mood swings were over the roof. He got up and followed her, a groan escaping his lips.

Emma had to laugh a bit, watching them go then turned back to Jay who was raising a smart ass eyebrow at her like he knew what she was doing..

"What?" she snapped, crossing her arms and went to head to a sushi bar in the food court.

Jay followed her, even though he HATED sushi, but he loved to be right about things, "oh just you," he taunted, "googling Cameron."

"googling?" snickered Emma, stopping at the line up with Jay behind her. You know, even as friends he still had the desire to torment her.

"So?" Jay asked, "How badly do you wish this engagement was real?" he lifted her hand, gazing at her ring, "You like playing house wife to the ex you lost years ago?"

Emma yanked her hand back and then shoved it into his chest.

"Woa!" he laughed though, rubbing the sore part but was barely shoved and he stepped closer, "Knew it." he whispered.

Emma cornered her eyes madly, but her heart dropped. Was she that obvious?

"You still want him," he snickered, looking up at the menu now but didn't stop speaking, "Badly."

"Shut up!" snapped Emma, and he laughed like a school boy shrugging innocently.

Silence.

Emma took her order and as they waited as the side for the food, Jay spoke up again much to Emma's displeasure, "you can get him back you know."

Emma looked interested for a second, glancing at him closely to then shake her head, "I don't want to."

Jay rolled his eyes, "You guys are such airheads." how could neither of them see the other was hopeless about the other?

"Weren't you there when me and Sean had our final break up?" taunted Emma, turning her back on Jay now, trying to ignore him.

Jay snickered bitterly, ofcourse he was there...

FLASHBACK.

Jay walked over to his apartment door knocking, wondering who the hell would come banging on his door at 6 am. It was a harsh desperate kind of knock, so Jay got up out of bed.

"I'm coming!" he snapped and the knocking stopped. He unchained his door and opened it for his face to look surprised, and then admitting-ly worried.

Sean stood there, back then he had shortish hair since the army liked it short. He was visiting and Jay knew that but he was suppose to be staying at Emmas. Sean told Jay he had big plans the first night and they'd hang later but Sean didn't look like the plans worked out.

"Cam.." he drifted, eyeing him up and down. He looked like shit, miserable, and sad, "Come in." he nodded.

Sean nodded thankfully and stepped in after a second of tryng to go over everything that had happened last night. Emma had said she moved on.. . . dating someone else now. ..

..they were over.

When they sat, Jay was cool with not bringing it up or asking about it, which Sean was thankful for also.. but after minutes, Sean finally cracked.

"Do you know how much this fucking sucks!?" his voice raised, shaking his head and glaring at Jay who wasn't the cause but he was the only one there, "Hearing about her with another guy, my best friend dating hers, you hanging out with the guy!" he snapped. He looked at Jay now like it was his fault, since he didn't like hearing his way 'buddies' with Emma's new were suppose to be best friends

"Woah." Jay raised his hands like a cop was pointing a gun at him, "I am not buddies with that loser."

Sean was so mad he couldn't believe him, too mad and now glaring at the floor, clenching his jaw angrily but his eyes turned from angry to sad...torn apart to be more accurate.

Jay sighed, this sucked and he knew it. He knew for a while Emma met somebody else since she always brought the guy on double dates with him and Manny. He didn't think it was SERIOUS though and if it was, he thought Sean could easily come back and get Emma back from any guy she was with. The girl was devoted deepdown to him.

"Fight for her." Jay shrugged. That's probably what Emma wanted anyways, girls loved that shit.

Sean numbly looked down at his hands and shook his head no, "She said..." he took a deep breath and laughed in disbelief, "Me and Emma have always said some things to another you know? Just to hurt another when we got into fights or something.. but she's never said that she's 'moved on' or over me.." Seans face twisted in pain as he leaned back on the chair, "It's over."

Jay's jaw was dropped. That couldn't be true..not Sean and Emma. Not Bam bam and Greenpeace, The love birds..

Jay knew if they talked about it anymore, Sean would end up snapping or even punching a hole in his wall so he changed the subject.

They talked about the army, and howJay was doing at the auto, and then when things died down a little bit Jay had to talk about Manny. It was a little stinging for Sean to talk about it but did so, knowing Jay was falling hard for Emma'sfriend and Sean didn't blame him. Then, it was time to go.

The sun was coming up, and Jay walked with Sean to his blue truck. Sean hopped in, and rolled the passanger window down as Jay stood on the other side.

"Think I love her man." Jay admitted, taking a deep breath as his eyes were wide, realising it.

"You got her a ring right?" Sean asked after a long pause, and looking over to him with hands on the wheel.

Jay scoffed, "Don't get me started on that. She sold them for tickets to a place I lied to her about where my parents were."

Sean had to laugh a bit til his eyes grew distant and he then reached for something in his pocket and handed Jay over a tiny box

Jay paused, before reaching his hand into the truck and took it. Just as he expected when he opened it, a diamond ring. Jay looked to Sean rather upset even for him.. Sean just stared ahead at the road.

Shit. He was going to ask Emma to marry him. God that girl is stupid. Jay shook his head, bitter for Sean as well. Bummer times.

He tried to lighten the mood as he closed the box, "Thanks for the proposal Cameron but no, I like women." he joked.

Sean only snickered a little, but the sadness washed over his face. Jay then leaned over in the window, opening the glove box deparment and put the ring in there.

"keep it" Jay insisted, "Might need it one day." he closed it

Sean glared at it, never wanting to go in that glove department ever again now. His heart was shattered, butchered, shredded.

"I doubt it." he sneered and looked back to the road, starting his engine up.

Jay scoffed but tried to change the subject, "visit again soon man."

"Also doubt it..." he heard Sean mutter lowly and watched Sean turn and give him one final nod before he went back to the army.

Jay watched the truck go with a look in his eye wondering if he'd be alright. WHo was he kidding? Sean was in pieces now..

END OF FLASHBACK

"Are you ready?" Emma taunted him, holding her sushi box and Jay snapped out of it.

He looked at her like she had three heads. The girl still couldn't put together that Sean had wanted to propose those few years ago? The girl was oblivious!

Meanwhile, outside the mall Sean and Manny were walking to Jay's car.

"Shopping here, is like the greatest."

"Isn't it?" said Sean in sarcasm but just teasing, throwing her bags in the back of Jay's orange civic.

She leaned on the car, eyeing him and smirking. He looked up to notice it and give her a 'what?' look.

He looked different from when he visited them a few weeks ago, when he was looking for Emma for 'buisness'. Now, he looked happy, care free and less stressed... it had to be because Emma was back.

"You look happy." she admitted.

Sean avoided her eyes and began to walk back to the mall, not wanting to have this conversation.

"Sean!" she called, trying to keep up but he was a damn fast walker, "Sean Cameron you do NOT run away from a pregnant girl!"

Sean stopped, eyes widening to some people staring at them like HE was the father and trying to walk away from this crazy girl and her baby or something.

HE turned, face red, "Manny not now."

She shrugged innocently, standing now in front of him, "I'm just wondering if it has to do with a certain girl we both know and love.." she teased.

Sean looked frustrated, glaring up at the clouding sky. It was going to get dark, and they had plans to go to the beach for a fire.

"Lets just go alright?" he sighed, but she didn't budge, "Fine!" he snapped madly, leaning closer and pointing at the ground madly, "Maybe it does have to do with her," he threw his arms up in the air, "But what the fuck does that matter?"

Manny frowned, not liking Sean so upset. He had a hard time dealing with his moms sickness, dealing with old feelings with Emma had to be hard too.

"Sean.." she asked softly, "Do you still love her?"

He saddened, the emotion in his eyes sinking to a depressing kind of look. Her shoulders dropped, watching him look down and shake his head.

He repeated one more time, "What does it matter?" they connected eyes, showing Manny that Sean really did think him and Emma were over.

Her mouth dropped, watching him go.

For the rest of the night, both Sean and Emma barely spoke nor to another. Thanks to their bestfriends
