It Started With Hello

Chap. 64

"I just can't understand why you would break up with Jason Emma. Your father told me to just let this go but it's hard when you both seemed so perfect for each other" Emma's mother states a few hours later as she drives her to theater rehearsal. She hasn't shut up about Jason since Emma came back home. Her mother was poking and prodding trying to find out why Emma suddenly ending the relationship "Then may I suggest letting it go mother this is my choice not yours" she whispered trying to keep her voice leveled. She knew if she raised her voice at her mother it would become a whole argument that she didn't have time to worry about. It was nice to know that her father was on her side this time because she didn't feel like dealing with her mother. And honestly she had to much on her mind at the moment to add that to the list of things for herself to worry about. Her mother nods her head while grumbling under her breath "Ms. Prim could me Jason came home just devastated over the whole ordeal" Emma sighs heavily of course Jason would make sure to put on a show for his parents. She honestly expected nothing less for the nutcase "Well that's not my problem mother" why did her mother feel the need to bring this up while she was trapped in a car with her at least they where almost at the abandoned building so she could escape this conversation. Her mother glanced at her out the corner of her eye "Don't you think your being alittle harsh? I'm sure whatever he did he's sorry about it" she shakes her head there was no way Jason felt any pity for her in fact she was sure the only thing he felt for her now was hatred. She meets her mother's eyes "No mother I don't think I'm being harsh in fact I don't think I'm being harsh enough" she could easily tell her mother about what he's been doing but she didn't want to mess up his whole life she just wanted him to away from her. Hopefully now he would get the hint and move on "Won't it make tonight theater rehearsals awkward?" Emma shrugs there wasn't anything to worry about after all there wasn't any rehearsal, there never was. Emma watches as the old building comes into view "I'll be fine" she states as they pulled up outside the building parking and Emma opened her door "I'll see you in a few hours mother" she climbs out the car her mother sits in the car watching her a few seconds making her extremely nervous. But she finally drives away and Emma's able to breath easy once again before she begins walking her usual way to The Underground.

"And I would really love if you guys could help me out" Emma said to Claire and Whitney as she came back around the bar with her tray now empty of drinks. She was about mid way through her shift and was currently trying to convince the girls to take her to the mall to look for christmas gifts tomorrow. She finally saved enough money to get good christmas gifts she never gotten gifts for anyone for christmas and it would be nice to have them help her. Plus a girls day and time away from her parents was always nice "Sure I'm in" Whitney smiles while filling a customers glass "Me too it sounds fun" Claire nods making Emma smile it was nice having other girls to hang out with. When she arrived Niki let her know Chris and Kandy where officially on their trip so now was the perfect time to start present hunting "What you girls talkin about" Niki asked while leaning against the other side of the bar a grin on her red lips. Claire takes Emma's empty tray sitting a few drinks on it "Emma's just asking us to help her christmas shopping" she said with a grin Niki tilts her head looking over at Emma "Am I invited to the girls day?" Emma didn't really know Niki as much Whitney and Claire she been working along side them for weeks now and have built a friendship. But she didn't see a reason why Niki couldn't be part of their little group to "Sure why not I was thinking about going tomorrow I'll just need to ride with someone there" she shrugs as she picked up her tray now full of drinks. Whitney leans against the bar facing them rubbing her chin "Well I live close to Claire and Niki I'll just pick you all up we'll all ride together in my car" they all nod in agreement. Emma couldn't wait to have a fun little get together with her friends but the real question would her parents really be ok with just letting her go off with strangers we'll see what happens tomorrow.
