They pull into McDonald's and Emily sees the last person she wants to. She ducks down and sits on the floorboard in between the guys. She leans into Chreesh's leg.

Chreesh: Sweet pea?
Emily: No no no.
Kayden: Emily?
Emily: Bryce is here!

Rocky gets pissed off and so does Kayden.

Emily: He is standing outside by his car. Just go to the drive-through!

Chreesh goes to the drive through and waits in line. As he's waiting in line he puts his right hand down next to Emily and she holds on to it.

Chreesh: We can go to another one?

Chreesh speeds out of the parking lot and starts driving. Emily gets up and gets in the back. She hugs Jaydan and doesn't let him go.

After they get their food and get back to the Airbnb Emily doesn't let Jaydan go and he walks her inside.

He goes to put her on the couch and she clings to him more.

Jaydan: Em he isn't here. He can't hurt you.
Emily: No.

Jaydan sits down with Emily and she sits next to him. She pulls Lane to her other side and they all eat. After she's done eating she clings back to the boys.

Rocky: Baby he can't get you.
Kayden: I will go back and whoop his ass.

Emily stands up and runs to the bathroom. She closes the door behind her.

Chreesh: let me try.
Jaydan: I think if she's left alone she will break down.
Lane: Probably. I mean she looked lost.

Chreesh walks to the bathroom and Emily is puking up her food. He pulls her hair back and sits next to her. Once she's done she brushes her teeth and sits next to Chreesh and starts crying.

Chreesh holds on the bathroom floor until he gets her to calm down.

Emily: I need to take a shower.
Chreesh: Are you okay?
Emily: For now.

Chreesh tries to move Emily but she continues to hug him.

Chreesh: Sweet pea you gotta let go.
Emily: Why do you call me sweet pea?
Chreesh: What would you like to be called?
Emily: I don't know.

Emily sits up and Chreesh smiles at her.

Chreesh: You take a shower and I can hold you later.
Emily: Okay.

Emily continues to stare at Chreesh as he stares back. Emily slightly leans in and regrets it and looks away and goes to get up when Chreesh pulls her back and they stare at each other slowly leaning in.

As they are about to kiss there is a knock on the door. Emily leans away from Chreesh.

Chreesh: Yeah?

Kayden opens the door.

Kayden: Just wanted to make sure you guys were good.
Emily: Yeah. I'm about to take shower.
Chreesh: And that's my cue to leave.

Chreesh gets up and leaves. Kayden hands Emily a towel and she takes it.

Kayden: I think I finally understand why Jaydan is your favorite.
Emily: Why?

Emily turns around and faces Kayden.

Kayden: You didn't break down crying unlike when you came in here.
Emily: I attach to people very easily if you haven't noticed.
Kayden: I have.

Emily pushes Kayden out of the bathroom and takes a shower. After she's out of the shower she goes to her room.

Lane walks in shortly after.

Lane: Stop teasing me, love.
Emily: It's fun.
Lane: Just wait.

Lane looks Emily up and down.

Lane: Look at you baby

Lane: Look at you baby.
Emily: You can look but not touch.
Lane: What are you doing to me?
Emily: I believe you walked in on me. Now get out so I can get dressed.

Emily smirks at Lane and pushes him out. She locks her door and the only thing she has in her suitcase is Blake's white bottom-up shirt he gave her.

She takes the shirt and puts it on. It goes slightly past her butt and she air dries her hair.

About 10 minutes later someone knocks on her door. She opens her door and it's Chreesh. He walks into her room and closes the door.

Emily: What's wrong?

Chreesh looks Emily up and down before looking at her face.

Emily: My eyes are up here cowboy.
Chreesh: Yes. Would you like to go with me to go get Caden?
Emily: Sure.
Chreesh: Please change.
Emily: I have to do laundry.

Chreesh takes Emily's hand and leads her to his room. He grabs a pair of his sweats and one of his hoodies. He goes to leave and the power goes out. Emily puts her hand out clings on to Chreesh.

Chreesh: I'm sure it's nothing.
Emily: I hope so.

Chreesh pulls Emily closer to him and turns on his flashlight on his phone.

Chreesh: Let's go check the breaker box.
Emily: No. I don't want to leave.

Emily and Chreesh hear a big crash and foots steps.

Bryce Hall: EMILY!

Emily leads Chreesh to the closet and they get underneath all the extra blankets and her suitcase. Chreesh texts everyone to take Emily's car.

Emily ends up sitting on Chreesh's lap in a corner and he holds her close. He puts his hand over her mouth.

Someone opens her door and they turn the light on.

Bryce: Emily?
Buddy: They just left in her car.
Bryce: I'll get her to trust me one day.

Bryce and Buddy leave and Chreesh checks the whole house to make sure they are gone. He also turns the power back on. Once he gets done checking he holds Emily close to him and doesn't let her go.

Chreesh: Sweet pea?
Emily: I want to leave.
Chreesh: Okay.

Chreesh goes to let go of Emily and she freaks out.

Emily: Don't leave me!
Chreesh: I'm not you are gonna come with me.

Chreesh calls Jaydan.

On the phone

Jaydan: What's happening?
Chreesh: She doesn't want to stay here anymore.
Jaydan: Where are we gonna go?
Kayden: Tayler's.
Chreesh: Tayler's it is.Make sure they aren't following you. They know Emily's car.
Jaydan: We can get most of our stuff later.
Chreesh: You know she isn't gonna allow us to come back. I got it. Meet you there.
Jaydan: Alright man. Bye.
Chreesh: Bye.

End of call.

Chreesh puts his phone away and makes Emily look at him.

Chreesh: We have to get everything in my truck.
Emily: Okay.

They start gathering everything in the living room and once they have everything in the living room Chreesh goes to walk outside with some luggage when Emily walks back upstairs.

After Chreesh gets everything loaded he walks back inside and finds Emily sitting on the couch with something in her arms.
