Something Different

Pt.40

Sam kicks Emily in the ribs and she curls up in a ball. Sam grabs get wrist and starts dragging her while Emily is kicking.

Emily: HELP!

Sam kicks Emily repeatedly. He kicks her in the face once and continues to kick Emily until he is tackled to the ground. Emily soon gets pulled to someone's chest.

Thomas: You piece of shit!

Thomas starts beating the shit out of Sam and Jackson continues to pull Emily to him.

Mia: Emily are you okay?
Emily: M-m-my wrist.

Mia squats down and takes Emily's wrist into her hands. Ace and Kristian help Thomas get Sam outside and all the boys besides Jackson go outside.

Jackson: I got you. I'm not going anywhere.
Mia: The cops have been called. The managers are pressing charges against him. He avoided all the cameras. I know I should've gone with you.
Emily: it's o-o-okay.

Jackson helps Emily stand up. They then walk outside. Mia holds Emily's hand and the cops are pulling Thomas off of Sam.

Thomas: Stay away from her you fucking asshole! You don't ever put your hands on a lady!
PO Phillip: Emily.
Emily: Phillip.
PO Phillip: This has come into a routine Emily. Get him in the squad car now!

Phillips's partner gets Sam in the back of the squad car.

Phillip: Em I'm gonna need you to come down to the district building and give a statement.
Jackson: I don't think her going down there with that fucking asshole is gonna help her.
Emily: Can I come into tomorrow?
Phillip: Yeah that's fine. I'll tell Amy at the front desk to let you come to my desk.
Emily: Okay.

They leave with Sam and Thomas walks over to Emily. Thomas lightly touches Emily's side and she wines in pain.

Thomas: Do you wanna get that checked out?
Emily: I'm fine.
Jackson: Em.
Emily: I'm fine.

Mia walks over to Thomas and they go back inside. Jackson and Bryce walk Emily over to her car.

Emily: Bryce you can drive.
Bryce: Okay.
Jackson: Are you sure you are okay?
Emily: Just get me in the back seat.

Jackson helps Emily into the back seat. Jacob runs over to the car.

Jacob: Mia wants you to get her home.
Emily: i'm fine.
Jacob: No you aren't. You say that so much that it doesn't even seem like a phrase anymore.
Emily: I am
Jacob: Get her home. Don't get into any arguments.
Bryce: Don't plan on it.

Jacob runs back into the story and Jackson gets in the passenger seat while Bryce drives back to the house.

Bryce helps Emily out of the car up to the house while Jackson unlocks the door.

Emily: I'm fine. Not the first time.
Jackson: The fact that you are okay with this.
Emily: I'm used to it Jackson.
Bryce: Did he ever by chance force you...?
Emily: No I never had sex with him. I refused to. He at least was that caring to not force me.
Jackson: Let's sit you down.

Jackson and Bryce sit Emily down at the island in the kitchen.

Bryce: Your nose was bleeding.
Emily: I know. I can feel my lip swelling.
Jackson: I'll get some ice.

Jackson walks to the freezer and grabs a washcloth. He puts some ice in the washcloth and ties it and walks over to Emily and hands it to her.

Jackson: Let me get you some water.
Emily: I don't want any.
Bryce: Okay.
Jackson: That's fine.

Emily holds the ice pack on her lips and nose. About 10 minutes later everyone else gets home. They get all the bags in the kitchen and Mia looks at Emily's face.

Mia: You sure you don't want to get your nose checked out?
Emily: Yeah i'm fine... Fuck!
Mia: What?
Emily: I'm picking up Josh tomorrow. We're gonna go see Jaden.
Ace: I Thought we did?
Emily: We did but Josh is gonna talk to him. I'm going so nothing bad breaks out.
Thomas: You sure you wanna go alone?
Emily: Jaden has never hurt me. Josh just yells. No matter how mad they get they care too much about me.
Thomas: Okay.

They get everything put up and Mia hands Emily a bag with her stuff in it. Emily takes it upstairs and she lays down. Jacob walks into Emily's room.

Jacob: I'm sorry.
Emily: For what?
Jacob: For being harsh at the store.
Emily: Oh don't worry about it.
Jacob: You sure?
Emily: Yes I'm sure.
Jacob: Okay. I just felt bad.
Emily: Jacob it's okay. You were just worried.
Jacob: Okay.

Jacob leaves the room and Emily gets up and cleans up her face. Once she cleans her face up she puts on a pair of black sweats and a tank top with a jacket over the top.

Emily walks downstairs and makes herself a snack. She sits on the island and slowly eats. Jackson comes over and sits next to her.

Jackson: How are you feeling?
Emily: Numb
Jackson: I'm sorry. I should've gone with you.
Emily: Don't blame yourself. He doesn't care who is around or where we are. He would've knocked you out and I don't want you to get hurt because of me.
Jackson: If me getting hurt is to save you then so be it.

Mia looks into the kitchen from the corner.

Mia: Aweeeee
Emily: Mia!
Mia: You guys are cute!
Jackson: We're not together.
Mia: Yet!
Emily: What makes you so sure?
Mia: I have my reasons.

Mia walks off and Emily leans her head on Jackson's shoulder and he wraps his arms around her.

Jackson: I'm never gonna doubt you again.
Emily: Keep telling yourself that bub.
Jackson: I'm serious.

Thomas walks into the kitchen with Nick and Taylor right behind then Tyler right behind Taylor.

Nick: You guys are so bipolar.
Emily: What are you guys doing here?
Taylor: It's all over social media.
Thomas: I'm trying to get it taken down.
Tyler: there are videos of you getting dragged and kicked around by Sam.

Nick walks over to Emily and glares at Jackson and he removes his arms and stands up. Nick looks at Emily's face.

Nick: You need to get your nose checked out.
Taylor: That's bad.
Emily: I'm fine. Nothing but a little time and it will be all healed.
Taylor: I hate you've been through this.
Nick: Wait until I see this prick.
Taylor: I'm gonna kill him.
Tyler: I have nothing to do with it.
Thomas: Hopefully he finally realizes to leave you alone.
Emily: Yeah let's hope. Can I go lay down? I'm tired.
Nick: Yeah go.
Thomas: Jackson gets her upstairs.
Nick: You. You're so glad.
Taylor: What happened?
Emily: It's over with.
Jackson: I already apologized.

Emily walks over to Jackson.

Nick: I don't care if he apologized he's lucky his face didn't go through the wall.
Taylor: Take her upstairs.

Jackson picks Emily up bridal style and takes her up to her room.

Thomas: I don't know what was said but she likes him. And he likes her.
Tyler: He seems like the jealous type.
Thomas: He is. He lets his emotions get the best of him. Just like everyone else.
