Chemistry is Cruel

~Seven~

I usually hang out with my sister on Saturdays, but, she had a date today so I'm stuck in the house. Thank god it's empty though. I wouldn't mind my father being here but I'm definitely am ecstatic that my mother is gone.

What bothers me the most is that I haven't heard from Emma at all today. It's 1 in the afternoon and she normally texts me throughout the day even when we're at school. Maybe weekends are pretty busy for her. Or maybe she's with that bitch! God I hate that woman with a passion. One day there will be bloodshed.

"Emma said I can't cut her!" I whine and toss in my bed at the thought.

It's official....I am insane. I have these voices in my head all of sudden. I have no idea where they came from but now they're so loud that it makes me talk back to them to shut them up. Thankfully it's tolerable right now but what if I get worse? They want me to do bad things....what if I actually do them?! I don't want to be bad I don't-

My phone buzzes on my nightstand, forcing me to sit up with urgency. When I answer, there's silence. Not exactly silence but soft breaths.

"Emma?" I pout. She's sad I know she is. She's never ever this quiet. "Babe, what's wrong?"

"I'm an orphan." She blurts. My heart breaks at the way she says it. It sounds like she's been crying for a while.

"I'm an orphan and my foster dad he-I have a son."

"Really?" I gasp. "How old is lol he?"

"He's 6." She mumbles. "I gave him up after he was born..."

"You what?!" I snap at her. It just doesn't make any sense. Why would she give up a kid to the foster system after what she's been through?

"I know....but I was young! I- I have him now and h-he.....He's getting adopted soon."

"You can't let that happen." I declare. Emma sniffles and begins to cry.

"I can't keep him, he hates me Regina. I don't know what to do."

"He's young Em. He just has to get used to you. Just think about how you felt growing up. You think you'd love your parents if they just waltzed back into your life after what happened to you?"

Emma sighs and mutters, "I guess not. Can you stay for the weekend? I can't do this alone...."

"Sure!" I beam happily. "I love children!"

"Really?"

"Yeah and I bet he's the most adorable little thing especially since his mother is a sight for sore eyes." Emma laughs at my flirt and it's music to my ears. I'm so happy that I can make her feel better and she called me. Take that Mary, dumb bitch.

"Do you need a ride or?"

"No, I get the car on the weekends. Just text me your address and I'll be right over."

Excitement completely washes over me as I pack my things to stay for the weekend. I'm just sooo excited. First of all, I've never been to her place before. I wonder what it looks like. It's obviously not a house because Emma is definitely a loner. And she also doesn't look like the type to enjoy home decor or cleaning either. Oh my god what if she lives in a dumpster?!

"That would be...I can over look that flaw," I sighs and take in a sharp breath at the thought. Except...I don't think I can! I hope you don't live like Oscar the grouch Emma.....

Now back to my excitement. I'm also excited about meeting Henry. Children are the most precious angels on the earth and the fact that Emma has a child has made me adore her even more. I'm going to make it my mission to convince her to keep him. There's a day and half left before he goes back to wherever Emma brung him from. After that, he will get adopted, god knows when, and put in a time loop of torment.
