Emily's Secret (Jemily)

Chapter 36

Makennas POV

It's been another month now,  2 months total since my mom died, also a month since I have been taking oxy. No one knows, no one ever will. Today was Friday and Grant and I were staying at his dorm tonight,

"Hey" I smile sitting down on his bed

"Hey, wanna watch tv?" He ask and I nod, getting into bed and I lay my head on his chest and he runs his fingers through my hair as we lay down and watch tv, about an hour later I get a text and look it's Ryan and I forgot I was meeting him to get some more,

"Hey, um I'll be back" I tell Grant and get off his bed

"Where are you going?" He ask me

" I forgot I told a friend of mine I would meet them, it won't take me more than 30 minutes" I say and kiss him walking out, I have never lied to him before but I guess there is a first for everything,

I walked down to our usual place and I seen Ryan

"Where have you been?" He ask me

"I forgot, I was with my boyfriend and time slipped, do you got it?" I ask and he hands me a baggy and I hand him the money

"Thank you" I say and walk back up to find Grant

JJ's POV

Kenna was staying with Grant tonight and would be back tomorrow, we have been staying with my parents this past week, it's only a 5 minute drive from campus. Things have gotten better. Reminds me a lot of losing Roslyn, my parents have been there a lot for Kenna and I and I appreciate their help so much,

We would be heading back home Sunday,

"Jenny, why don't you go back to work?" My mom ask me sitting down next to me.

"It's too much," I sigh

"I loved my job but I can't love my job without Emily" I tell her

"Emily would want you to be happy, you are not happy staying at home all day" she says

"I'm fine mom" I say and stand up and walk back to my room to get all my things ready for when I leave to go back home,

—

It's Sunday now and Kenna came back yesterday, we were loading the car up now to head back home

"Bye Mom, Dad" I say giving them a hug

"Bye grandma" Kenna says hugging my mom, I love that she calls her that and feels comfortable enough to do so

" I'm going to miss you both" she says

"We will miss you too" Kenna says and we get into the car to head home

"Hey JJ?" Kenna says

"Yea babe?" I ask her

"Is your sister buried up here?" She ask gently

"Yea she is" I say

"She would have loved you" I tell her and she smiled

"I'm sure I would have loved her too, your whole family is amazing" she smiles

"Our family, they are your family too" I tell her and grab her hand

"Yea" she smiles

We made a detour to stop for lunch and did a little shopping before heading the rest of the way home

We got to the house and Kenna was taking her things up to her room and she dropped something, s little bag with oxy in it, oh my god I can not believe this girl right now

"Makenna Grace what the hell is this?" I ask holding the bag up and her face gets red

"It's nothing" she says

"It's something, what the hell are you thinking!?" I yell

"You're not my mother so stop acting like it" she yells and tried to walk away but I grab her hand

"You're right I'm not your mother, I didn't give birth to you but I have been there for you ever since I met you. What do you think your mom would say? What would your mom say if she knew you were out here doing oxy?" I ask her

"I don't know okay! I don't know" she cries and I pull her into me and she rest her head on my chest

"Why Makenna?" I ask her

"Because I couldn't do anything without thinking of her! I needed to study and I couldn't and when I take the pills I can, I can focus and I don't think of her" she says her cries turning into sniffles

"Makenna, why didn't you come to me?" I ask gently

"I don't know, I didn't tell anyone" she sighs

"Look babes. I love you so much, all I want is what's best for you," I tell her and she nods into my chest

"I'm sorry" she sniffles

"I know, I know. You're okay" I say

"We're going to need to talk about this though" I say and she nods and we move to sit on the couch,

"I don't want you staying with Grant anymore for now" I say

"But-"

"No buts Kenna, you will go to school and straight back, no staying over anymore" I say and she nods slowly

"How long has this been going on?" I ask her

"A month" she says quietly looking down playing with her fingers

"Kenna" I sigh and pull her closer to me

"You're going to stay home this week and do your classes online so we can work on making sure you're not dependent on them" I tell her and she nods against me

"I'm sorry mo- JJ" she says

"I know baby, it's okay, it's all over. I got you" I say and she calms down still laying on me, I flushed the rest of the oxy she had and that night made us dinner, after we ate our dinner we got ourselves ready for bed and I got into my bed to read a little and Kenna knocks on the door

"Can I sleep with you?" She ask

"Yea of course, come on love" I say and lift the blanket up so she could get in and she lays her head on my chest and I continue to read my book, I read for about half an hour and Kenna fell asleep, I put my book down and turned off the light, I kissed Kenna's head and plugged my phone up,

"Goodnight Emily" I sigh and close my eyes drifting off to sleep

Till next time❤️
