Chapter 12

I snapped out of my thoughts with tear's in my eyes. I got up off the floor and grabbed the strap to my duffle bag and picked it up. I shook my head, it had been a bad idea to come to Jimmy and Leana's. The only reason I had decided to come here was because I couldn't go to Matt and Val's or Brian and Michelle's houses. Those would be the first places he would check. Than he would go to Suzy's and Papa Gates. I couldn't go their either because the question's would start as soon as I got there.

I mean the question's were going to start where ever I went. Johnny and Lacey's and Jimmy and Leana's I thought would be the last places that Zacky would look for me. Because everybody assumes that I'm not as close to Johnny and Lacey and Jimmy and Leana. Now that maybe true with Johnny and Lacey. But thats far from the truth with Jimmy and Leana. In reality I'm probably closer to Jimmy and Leana than anybody else besides Brian and Michelle. Just like Zacky is closer to Matt and Val, which is why I chose not to go there.

But Jimmy and Brian have been friend's for so long. Jimmy is the first friend of Brian's that I meet when I was moved here. So Jimmy know's me as well as Brian. But I should have figured that Brian would be here. Now that I was here and Brian knew I was here, I was positive that Zacky would find out sooner than later that I was here. Because honestly my big "brother" had the biggest mouth.

I heard a phone ringing in the kitchen and heard Brian yelling into it. I knew instantly that he was talking to Zacky. I started to panick and just wanted to get out of there.

"I'm sorry I've got to go" I rushed out.

Leana looked momentarily hurt but nodded her understanding. I walked to the door and put my hand on the door knob.

"Emma where do you think your going?" Jimmy asked, from the kitchen doorway.

I looked over my shoulder at him and saw that he was standing there, with arms folded across his chest.

"I've got to get out of here Jimmy" I sighed.

"And go where?" Jimmy asked again.

"Jimmy" I sighed, rolling my eyes

"No Emma, where are you going to go?" Jimmy pushed frowning.

I frowned at Jimmy's frown. It was unusal for Jimmy to wear a frown. He was usually a happy go-lucky, carefree kind of guy. So to see him frown meant that he was really upset or worried about something. I took my hand off the door and turned towards him, crossing my own arms across my chest.

"Don't worry about where Jimmy" I stated frowning.

"Emma" Jimmy said

"Jimmy look I'll be fine, there's no need to worry about me" I sighed.

"Emma your my friend and one my best friends sister. Your hurting, so naturally I'm going to worry" Jimmy stated, nodding "So your staying" he said with finality.

"No I'm leaveing, but thanks Jimmy-Jam" I said, calling him the nickname I gave him. I uncrossed my arms and turned back around to leave.

"Emma Haner-Baker, get your rear in this kitchen now" Jimmy stated.

I cringed to myself when he said Baker, I really didn't want to be a Baker right now.

"No" I said, opening the door.

"Emma don't make me get your brother" Jimmy said.

I drew a breath through my teeth and turned to glare dagger's at Jimmy. Looking in Jimmy's blue eyes, I could see amuzement danceing in them. He knew he had me on that one. Jimmy and I both knew if Brian had to physically come and chase after me, he would be none to pleased about that. I crossed my arms and again and just glared at him. Jimmy smirked at me, than threw his head back and laughed when I stomped my foot at him. Jimmy knew he had won this round and had won it unfairly by pulling the "brother" card.

'Fine I'll go talk to them but than I'm leaveing' I thought to myself. I stomped my foot again and uncrossed my arms. I set my duffle by the front door to pick up when I left. I walked toward's the kitchen and huffed as I was walking past Jimmy. Throwing my shoulder into his side as I walked by, causeing him to laugh again. Once I walked into the kitchen I wrapped my arms around myself, basically hugging myself. I let my head hang down and could feel Jimmy walking by and takeing a seat at the table.

"No man I have no clue where she's at. Isn't she at home?....Oh yeah.....Well what did you do man?" Brian said, into his phone.

My head snapped up and my brow's furrowed together in confusion. Why was Brian acting like he didn't know where I was. Why wasn't he shooting his mouth off about where I was.

"Well maybe she just went to the store....Well she's not at my house...No man I'm not even at home....Zacky, Zacky man what did you do to piss my sister off? That she would just take off like that?" Brian asked.

I continued to watch Brian's facial expression's to see if I could get anything from the conversation. Brian kept his expression blank but I saw a flash of anger in his eyes, than it was gone.

"Look man I got to go. I have some business to take care of....Yeah well look just find my sister....Man just find her and fix whateve it is you did to her" Brian snapped, than snapped his phone shut.

It was completely silent, it was an uncomfortable silence. I started shuffling from one foot to the other.

"Emma what happened?" Brian asked, breaking the silence.

"Nothing Bri" I responded, looking at the ground and wrapping my arms tighter around myself.

"Bullshit Emma, or you wouldn't have had a break down out there" Brian snapped.

"Look Bri, it was nothing. Its nothing you need to worry about" I snapped back
