Jaden: I've been thinking...
Emily: What?
Jaden: We get a house together. Or you! But you and the baby stuff will be too much over here.
Emily: And we say what? That we are roommates? Someone else has to move in.
Jaden: Okay who?

Emily looks down and brings her knees up to her chest.

Jaden: Em who is it? Is it Josh? I don't care.
Emily: He's the only one I can think of.
Jaden: I don't care. You forget I used to live with him.
Emily: Yeah...
Jaden: Have you eaten?
Emily: Yes.
Jaden: Alright wanna get out of the house?
Emily: No.
Jaden: Em you are with me. I won't let anything happen to you.
Emily: I know.

They go inside and Emily grabs a water bottle.

Bryce: Hey we are all going to target wanna come?
Emily: No.
Kristin: Please you haven't left the house much.
Jaden: I already tried.
Jackson: Em you have us and by all means someone looks at you wrong Thomas might kill them.
Thomas: I kill who?
Mia: Don't push her if she doesn't want to go.

Jaden gets a text and looks at Emily.

Jaden: Em I'm sorry. I need to meet with my manager. Are you gonna be okay?
Emily: Yeah I guess I can go with them.
Jaden: Okay I'm a phone call away.
Emily: Okay.

Jaden kisses Emily's forehead and rushes out the door. Thomas looks at Emily.

Emily: Don't ask cause I don't know.
Thomas: I wasn't gonna say anything.
Emily: You had that look.
Thomas: I wasn't gonna sat anything.
Emily: Sure... Bryce, you're riding with me.
Bryce: Okay!

Emily goes upstairs and comes back with slides and a hoodie on.

Bryce: You want my hoodie?
Emily: Yeah.

Bryce takes off his hoodie and hands it to Emily. She takes the one she has on off and puts Bryce's on.

They get in the car and start driving.

Bryce: You good?
Emily: Yeah.
Bryce: Em.
Emily: I might be moving out.
Bryce: What?
Emily: Yeah.

They get to target and Emily stays next to the car. Everyone starts waking but Bryce turns around and walks over to her.

Bryce: It's okay.
Emily: I don't think I'm ready.
Bryce: You have me and everyone else.

Bryce takes Emily's hand and they start walking. Jacob goes to her other side and stays by her.

Emily: Thank you, guys.
Jacob: Don't worry about it.
Emily: I need to restock my snack draw.
Bryce: You have a snack draw?!
Emily: Yes!
Thomas: I'll go with you.
Emily: Okay.

Thomas kisses Mia's forehead and starts walking with Emily, Jacob, and Bryce. Emily and Bryce are still holding hands and Jacob holds a basket for Emily.

Emily starts picking snacks left and right and they go back with the others.

Eddie walks over to Emily and hugs her.

Emily: Where have you been?
Eddie: I've been visiting my parents.
Emily: Well it's good to have you back.

They start moving to the checkout and some fans walk over to Bryce and Emily.

Fan: Are you guys back together?
Bryce: No.
Fan2: Where have you been Emily?
Emily: At home.
Fan3: Did you kill Christian?
Thomas: I'm sorry guys but can we not ask all the questions.
Fan: Sorry.
Emily: I'll open up about it when I'm ready.

Bryce steps in front of Emily and she lays her head on his chest. The fans apologize and leave.

They get in the car and Emily starts crying. Bryce hugs her and they switch seats.

They pull up to Hype's house and Bryce parks the car. He sits there for a second before handing the keys to Emily.

Emily: I'll be in there in a minute.
Bryce: Okay.

Bryce gets out of the car and walks inside. Emily sits there and looks off into space. She stays there until she gets a call. She answers it without looking at the caller.

They go inside and Emily goes to get her bags when Jacob grabs them and starts walking up the stairs. Emily follows him.

Emily: Jacob what are you doing?
Jacob: You aren't lifting these.
Emily: Jacob I'm fine.
Jacob: Em I have a little sister and I watched my mom when she was pregnant with her.
Emily: Jacob.
Jacob: Em please don't lift things. Take your prenatal. Stay off the alcohol and don't get high.
Emily: Awe Jacob I know these things.
Jacob: I know I just want you to be extra cautious.

Emily starts taking things out of the bags and putting them on her bed when she gets sharp pains in her lower stomach. She clutches her stomach.

Jacob: Em?
Emily: It hurts.
Jacob: What hurts? Your stomach?
Emily: Yes.

Jacob hugs Emily.

Emily: Something isn't right.
Jacob: I'll go get Thomas.
Emily: Okay.

Jacob leaves the room and Emily feels like she just started her period.

She runs to the bathroom and she's bleeding. She changed and gets new clothes and put a pad on her underwear. She walks out of the bathroom crying.

Thomas: Em!
Emily: Get me to the hospital.
Mia: Em? What's wrong?
Emily: I think I'm having a miscarriage.

Thomas runs out of the room and grabs the truck keys. Mia helps Emily to the truck and they leave. Vinnie rides with them. Emily texts Jaden that she's going to the hospital.

Emily calls her OB-GYN and she starts heading to the hospital.

They finally get there and the doctor shows up. They get her back in the room and the doctor announces she did have a miscarriage. The doctor takes her to another room and gets the baby cleaned out.

Doctor: Emily I'm so sorry.
Emily: Is it done?
Doctor: Yes. I want you to stay hydrated and eat healthy.
Emily: Okay.

Emily and the Doctor leave the room and go to the waiting room. Emily walks over to Mia and falls into her arms and starts crying.

Thomas: Em.
Emily: I lost the baby!
Mia: You couldn't have predicted this okay. You took care of yourself.

They get Emily in the truck and Mia sits in the back with her. She has missed calls from Jaden, Taylor, Tyler, and Zach.

They pull up to the house and Jaden is pacing around by his car. Emily gets out of the car and still by Mia. She doesn't hug Jaden she walks passed him.

Jaden: Em!
