Something Different

Pt.47

Thomas: I don't know anything. If you play this and she finds out don't come running to me at what she does.

Thomas walks upstairs and Ace and Kristian walk upstairs and into their room to see Emily laying on the floor half naked.

Ace: You okay?
Emily: Just let me lay here for a little while.
Kristian: Em you have no shirt on.
Emily: It's fine.

Ace and Kristian look at each other and then walk over to Emily and help her up. Kristina gets one of his shirts and hands it to Ace.

Emily: No I don't want a shirt on. It hurts.
Ace: You need something on.

Bryce walks into the room and turns right back around.

Bryce: Wow! Okay not what I expected.
Emily: No offense but I'm sleeping in Bryce's room. I don't like your beds.

Ace puts the shirt on Emily and she walks out of the room to Bryce's room.

Bryce: What did you do?
Ace: Nothing.
Kristian: You may or may not wake up to a half-naked Emily.
Bryce: Good to know. Are her arms bugging her?
Ace: Yeah.

Bryce walks out of their room and starts walking to his when he sees Jacob and Emily hugging.

Jacob: You scared us.
Bryce: You scared everyone.
Emily: I know I'm sorry.

Emily and Bryce go to his room. Bryce lays down and Emily sits on the ledge of his bed.

Bryce: Em.
Emily: Mhm.
Bryce: What's wrong?
Emily: Tonight brought a lot of memories.
Bryce: Jackson was scared that Blake was gonna kiss you.
Emily: So what if he did?
Bryce: He cares for you a lot.
Emily: He just gets so jealous.
Bryce: If I was the one that liked you I would be jealous.
Emily: You did at one point.
Bryce: Who said I stopped?
Emily: What!
Bryce: I know how to control my jealousy and I can't get jealous. We aren't together.

Emily hugs Bryce and he hugs her back. Emily stays straddling Bryce as he turns on his tv. He then wraps his arms around her again and they stay like that.

Bryce: Your shoulder is bleeding.
Emily: Kristian isn't getting his shirt back to white.

Bryce stands up with Emily and walks out of his room and to the shared bathroom. He then sets her on the counter and gets the first aid kit.

Bryce: Your shirt is gonna have to come off.
Emily: Okay.

Emily takes her shirt off and places it on top of her chest. Bryce opens the first aid kit and someone walks into the bathroom.

Jacob: Woah!
Jackson: What's happening here?
Bryce: Her shoulder started bleeding.
Emily: can we get this over with?

Bryce cleans her shoulder with rubbing alcohol and she doesn't wince in pain. Bryce puts a bandage over it and finally looks at Emily.

Emily: Done?
Bryce: Yep.

Emily looks at Jacob and Bryce and they leave. Jackson closes the door behind them and leans against the door.

Emily: You done throwing your fit?
Jackson: Are you done letting everyone flirt with you?
Emily: Oh cause I let everyone flirt with me!
Jackson: You could tell them to stop. Or I don't know to get changed in front of others too.
Emily: You know what I don't get jealous of you. We aren't together so you can't get jealous.
Jackson: I want to be together! I've been waiting on you!
Emily: Well maybe I don't want to be in a relationship!

Emily puts her shirt on and gets off the counter. She goes to open the door and Jackson keeps it closed.

Jackson: All we do is argue. We aren't leaving this bathroom until we have talked.
Emily: and if I don't want to talk?
Jackson: Guess we are spending the rest of the night in here.
Emily: I guess we are.

Emily closes the toilet lid and sits on it. Jackson slides across the wall to the ground.

About 30 minutes go by and they haven't talked. Ace walks into the bathroom and senses the tension.

Ace: Did I interrupt something?
Emily: No.

Emily gets up and walks out of the bathroom and walks downstairs.

Ace: What happened?
Jackson: Told her we need to talk.
Ace: You pulled we aren't leaving until we talk card.
Jackson: Yep.

Jackson walks out of the bathroom and walks downstairs. He walks into the kitchen where Emily is and she's staring out the window.

Jackson: Em, please.
Emily: I'm scared!
Jackson: That's why you have to talk to me.
Emily: I don't want to.
Jackson: Stop running, please.
Emily: I think we need to take some time.
Jackson: Em baby.
Emily: Please.

Jackson walks over to Emily and makes her look at him. He leans in and kisses her. They share a long passionate kiss until they pull apart.

Jackson: Please.
Emily: I'll be sleeping in Paige's room.

Emily walks upstairs and walks into Paige's room and breaks down crying. Paige hugs her while she cries. After about 10 minutes they both fall asleep.

The next morning Emily is the first one up and she goes downstairs and makes her coffee. While she is making her coffee Ace walks downstairs.

Ace: Good morning.
Emily: Morning.
Ace: What's wrong?

Ace walks over to Emily and makes her look at him.

Emily: I broke things off with Jackson last night.
Ace: What! Why?
Emily: I'm just not ready.
Ace: He would never force you into anything.
Emily: I know.
Ace: Em you're gonna break him.
Emily: I need time to think.
Ace: You can do that and still talk to him. I don't want to see one of my best friends all depressed and sad. Please Em.
Emily: I'm sorry.
Ace: I can't make him jealous anymore.
Emily: I wasn't fully asleep when you guys started talking
Ace: Damn it!
Emily: Do whatever you want now I don't care.

Emily makes her coffee and sits on the beanbag scrolling through Instagram. Bryce walks into the living room and lays down by Emily.

Bryce: What happened to you sleeping in my room?
Emily: I slept in Paige's room.
Bryce: Kinda figured.

Bryce lays his head on Emily's shoulder and watches her scroll through Instagram.

Bryce: You're liking every single guy's post on your Instagram.
Emily: And?
Bryce: You've liked like 15 of mine and Ace's.

Ace walks into the living room.

Ace: What about me and why did you just spam my Instagram?
Emily: It popped up I liked it.
Ace: Is this trying to distract you from Jackson?
Emily: Just stop talking about him!
Bryce: Woah what happened?
Ace: She broke things off with him last night.
Bryce: Wait! WHAT! No, you can't. He needs you. He's gonna be depressed and sad and all angry.
Ace: That's what I said.
Emily: I do believe it's my choice. I need time.
Bryce: Time for what?
Emily: For myself fuck tard.
Ace: Okay everyone is on edge. Just take a breather.
Emily: I'm sorry.
Bryce: I'm sorry to.

Bryce hugs Emily and he lays on her chest.

Ace: I'm gonna hit the gym.

Ace walks back into the kitchen and Emily holds Bryce. They both soon fall back asleep.
