Something Different

Pt. 15

             ✨Emily's dream✨

Ace: Em wake up.
Emily: Why?
Ace: Come on Jaden's here.

Emily gets up and goes downstairs. She sees Jaden as he has a baby in a car seat. It looks just like him but with Emily's hair color.

Jaden: Hey baby!

Jaden kisses Emily and she runs to the car seat and takes the baby out.

Emily: Hi my little precious thing!
Jaden: You never came home last night. I thought you came here.
Emily: I never came home last night?

Emily turns around and walks to the kitchen just to be in the building she and Jaden were locked up in.

Jaden: Em, please!

Emily runs to the living room and sees Christian looking at her with a blood-stained shirt and his eyes are black holes.

Emily: AAHHHHHHHHH!

             ✨End of dream✨

Emily wakes up screaming, crying, and sweating.

Thomas and Vinnie come rushing into the room. Vinnie walks over to Emily and tries to pull her close and she lashes out.

Emily: NO NO NO. GET AWAY!
Thomas: Em it's okay.
Emily: NO!
Vinnie: Em baby come here. I'm not gonna hurt you.

Emily starts panicking and starts to hyperventilate. Vinnie pulls off her hoodie and brings her to him.

Vinnie: Breath. Call Taylor.
Thomas: Okay.

Thomas steps out of Emily's room and sees everyone awake.

Jackson: Is she okay?
Thomas: I don't know.

Thomas calls Taylor and he's there in a matter of 15 minutes. He rushes to Emily's room.

Vinnie: I can't get her to calm down. She keeps saying it's her fault.
Emily: It's all my fault. I did it.
Taylor: Em what do you mean? Calm down.

Taylor hugs Emily and shortly after she falls back asleep.

Taylor: Thomas what happened?
Thomas: Like I said. She woke up screaming. She wouldn't let Vinnie touch her. She wouldn't let me either. She yelled at us.
Taylor: Has this happened before?
Thomas: Not that I know of.
Taylor: She's having flashbacks. Bryce couldn't even get her to calm down.
Thomas: What do we do?
Taylor: She is gonna have to get a therapist.
Thomas: You do that and she will never talk to you again.
Taylor: I know. What else has been happening?
Thomas: She has taken a liking to the new house members. They fight over her.
Taylor: That's how she copes. She has done it with it, Bryce.

Taylor goes to stand up and Emily wakes up.

Taylor: Shh go back to sleep.
Emily: No.

Emily stands up and walks downstairs. She gets a glass of water and starts drinking it when Ace comes into the kitchen. She hugs him.

Ace: What's going on?
Emily: Nightmares.
Ace: I got you.

Taylor walks into the kitchen.

Emily: Tay I'm fine now.
Taylor: I don't believe you.
Emily: You don't have to.
Taylor: Well I'm gonna back home. Call me if you need me.

Emily hugs Taylor and walks him out. She sees Tyler half-awake in the car.

Emily: Wake up!

Tyler jolts up and rubs his eyes.

Tyler: Are you okay?
Emily: I'm fine.
Taylor: No you aren't. They aren't Bryce, Emily. They are human beings. Stop toying with their emotions.
Emily: Since when do you care for their emotions?
Taylor: Since you are doing the same thing you did with Bryce.
Tyler: it's not right.
Emily: Shut up.
Tyler: Well I won't. You need to hear it.
Emily: I don't care.
Taylor: You'll care when I bring mom into it.
Emily: Like you would ever.
Taylor: Here let me think. Who can straighten you up?
Tyler: Hall can.
Emily: He shot me.
Taylor: He can get you to straighten up. Don't think I won't get someone who can straighten you up.
