Emma walks out the door with no words, leaving Pandora in confused staring at Faye who remained calm shrugging her shoulders fixing her dress, "Rose you cannot let that girl destroy herself."

"I told her as long as she comes back with all her body parts she's good to go."

"Rose!" Pandora yells making Faye jump. "She is grieving with the loss of betrayal, thats not a way to go about it! You promised London you'd make sure she was on the right path and you have yet to deal with it!"

"Look, Pandora I never had parents!" Faye yells back. "I don't know shit on how to care for other people; they don't come with a fucking manuel! I've tried my best to let her talk with me and all she can ever do is run out that fucking door!"

"Emma is too young for this shit, Rose. She 's out in the streets god knows what...and yet you stay here letting it happen." Pandora exclaims. "Force her to talk to London for fucks sake! Maybe thats why she's so angry! Maybe London got her shit together and take her back."

"I've done that!" Faye yells. "I've tried and tried with Emma but she's so damn stubborn, I can't deal with it!"

"So you give up on her when she's cleary given up on herself?" Pandora raises her brows making Faye step back. "You know what it's like to be alone and suffer in silence and yet you let her slip away?"

"Fine." Faye shakes her head giving in. "I'll go get her and...maybe a dinner can cheer her up." With those words, Faye runs out the door in her heels clicking behind her making her way down the steps quickly, feeling like shit that she thought what she was doing was the best...but it wasn't.

Faye sees Emma head out the building , "Ems!" She yells but notices she had her music in loud. Faye groans running towards her, taking the music out as Emma turns around angry before she notices it's Faye. "Where ya heading?"

"Just with some friends, I'll be back tonight." Emma says turning around but Faye stops her.

"I was wondering if a dinner could be done?"

"Nah."

"Emma, you can be emo with your friends for the rest of this horribly life , a simple dinner won't kill." Faye persuades her, Emma shoots her a look but gives in seeing effort. "Great!" Faye exclaims nervously with Emma staring with raised brows before they head off to the car.

Faye hits the highway, dinner being more awkward than usual since Emma was all sweaty and jittery , making sure her arms were covered all times, considering it was summer. It didn't give Faye any good vibe from it...at all...

"You don't seem as your sassy self." Faye points out with Emma beside her nervous staring ahead at the road. "I notice how your always covering arms..."

"I just like heavy clothes." Emma shrugs trying to keep calm as she begins to sweat.

"Emma...if your self harming...I would like to know willingly."

Emma rolls her eyes, "I stopped that when I was thirteen." Making Faye believe that sentence at how more relaxed she was being. "Just drop it."

"Emma, I let you have freedom and I would like to know where your going most of the time."

"I'm seventeen, don't speak to me like a fucking kid."

"Are you shooting up?" Fayes voice loud and clear gripping the wheel, her stomach in a knot as she looks at Emma who looks down with shame, "Emma-"

"They stopped me in the street...they're good people though...they know how I feel." Emma stammers making Faye's eyes go wide with shock.

Faye looks at her covered arms, grabbing her shirt lifting it up seeing cigarette burns and needle marks on her, some of her skin bruised. "Emma!" Faye screams not knowing how to react as Emma begins to cry. "Emma, you son of a bitch."

"I can't deal with this anymore!" Emma yells sobbing. "London fucking left me like I'm fucking trash and-and my mother is pregnant with a boy, happily engaged...I fucking hate this empty pit in my chest."

"You got back into contact with Raven?"

Emma nods, "She told me to stop calling her since I would make her relapse."

"Emma, you gotta know that it's not your fault." Faye argued letting her arm go. "Fuck Raven and Fuck London, you understand me? Shooting up isn't the way to go."

"I can't do this anymore, Faye." She continues to sob.

"Emma, your getting clean...I refuse to fail you like all these mother fuckers did." Faye glances at the road shaking her head, "A book and some dope is the worst excuse, I tell ya."

"Faye, I don't feel good." Emma says making Faye look at her with worry. "I think I toke in too much before I left."

"What?" Faye gasp pressing more gas on the pedal, "What do you mean?" Emma begins to cough hoarsely before it turned to gagging. "Emma, breath baby...breath." Faye filled with panic as she looks at an exit knowing there was a hospital not far. Emma continues to gag before she vomits, the color disorientated mixed with blood, gasping for air. "Emma!" Faye cries feeling as the car wasn't going any faster before Emma grabs her neck as if she was choking, her black lipstick faded revealing her blue lips. "Emma, you can't fucking die, you hear me?" Faye throws the car out of the road seeing she was in need of help, she wouldn't make it to the hospital.

Faye throws her seatbelt off, voices swirling around her as everything began to go fast not even processing anything. She throws the passenger door open seeing Emma sit in the seat barely moving at all, "Emma, no!" Faye takes her seatbelt off but Emma grabs her hand pressing it down, feeling how cold she was, "Emma stop!" Her strength strong as she continued to hold Faye's hand seeing the desperation to die growing more. "Emma!" Faye screams finally breaking free throwing it off her, dragging Emma out the car sobbing, her body limp.

Faye looks around not seeing any car stopping before pressing her hands onto Emmas chest pressing on it, trying to give her airway. "You can't die, you can't!" Faye sobs looking at Emma weak as blood leaked from the side of her mouth.

"I...Love...You...Fa...Faye..." Emma voice was hoarse and low looking at Faye who began to wail, taking in her last breath, feeling her body go limp as her head fell to the side, her eyes wide lifeless in Faye's arms

"NO!" Faye screeches holding Emma closer, seeing she was gone. The person she was suppose to protect; dead. Emma, a girl who was suffering...ignored by everyone...finally giving in her weakness and finally did it. "You son of a bitch!" Faye continues to yell before she looks back at the car, putting Emma down, her breaths rapid and quick dialing Londons number but it kept saying she had no service in her phone. Faye continuing to dial everyone in her contact list, still receiving the same message over and over as she looks at Emma lying dead on the side of the highway, remembering they're was a blanket in the truck...the hospital still in mind.

Faye hiccups, stumbling up leaning onto the car for support, opening the truck grabbing the beige cover, before shutting it close. She begins to whimper staring at Emma hoping it was just another hallucination but, she couldn't fake this. Faye throws the cover over her body, "There you go, my love." Her voice shaky. "Your safe not...there's not a single thing to hurt you." Faye puts her arm under Emma, picking her up slowly, "You know I was hoping to take you to out of New York and get some mocha lattes in PA, head they're real good." Faye laughs as she puts Emma in the back before they turn into sobs. "Oh, Emma...I think I'm next."

Faye stumbles closing the car doors, making her way to her car side, getting in miserable with such hate in her heart, glancing back at Emma who laid still. She starts the car before driving off, in silence totally numbed to the core her eyes looking at Emma dead in her car, there wasn't a single thought in her mind other than the rage that somehow grew more and more as she enters a bridge, "You always like the water." Faye speaks her lip quivering, as she reaches her hand back feeling the smoothness of Emma's hair. "You wanna go for a dip, Emma?" Her voice cracks before she lets out a ear wrenching scream blacking out swerving her car towards the edge of the bridge.
