Sixteen

Emma's POV~

Spencer had his hand carefully laced with mine. We had walked around Nashville, and then to my apartment. It was silent between us. It wasn't awkward, or at least didn't feel like it.

As we walked into my apartment I spoke up, "Wanna play something?" I smirked.

He smiled, "I would love too, but, uh, I can't."

I laughed slightly, "Right, sorry."

Morgan came in, slightly surprised to see me, but angry to see Spencer. "Get out!" Morgan snapped.

"Morgan, he's fine." I shook my head.

"No, it's not. You were crying all nightt. He ain't getting away with it." She muttered. "Get out." She demanded.

"Em, it's fine. I'll, uh, see you tomorrow." Spencer sighed.

"Yeah. We still have that meeting?" I asked.

"Yeah." He nodded, scratching the back of his neck awkwardly. "I'll see you then."

Just when he started to turn away, I grabbed his wrist. "Not without this." I smiled, pressing my lips against his.

As I pulled back, Spencer smiled, "I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight."

"Goodnight Spencer." I whispered. He kissed my cheek before leaving.

"What was that?" Morgan exclaimed.

"What?" I asked.

"You were just crying over him last night and now you're kissing him?" She asked.

"Yeah. So?" I mumbled.

"At first, I shipped it, now, Emma, he's using you!" She huffed.

"He apologized and explained everything. I forgave him, for the most part." I shrugged, "I don't see a problem."

"Wha..?!" She heavily sighed.

"Morgan, he apologized! He explained the whole situation to me. We obviously care for each other. He fought for me for over two months." I explained.

"He's using you! Just the other day he said he had a girlfriend, and now he's all on you!" She snapped.

"Why can't you be happy for me? I was happy for you and Donald. I wish you the best with him. We've both had bad luck with past relationships. You found someone to keep you happy, and I found someone." I huffed.

"Emma, he's using you! How can you not see it?" She shouted.

"Maybe because it doesn't exist! Maybe because he actually loves me like he claimed." I muttered.

"I'm done." She sighed.

"So am I." I snapped. I grabbed a bag and began packing some clothes, and my phone charger. I definitely wasn't staying here tonight.

"Where are you going?" She asked.

"Either Fallon and Chad's or Caleb and Kelsey's." I answered.

"You are not going Caleb and Kelsey's." She demanded.

"Watch me!" I exclaimed, "Watch Avery, I'll be back in the morning." I muttered.

I slammed the door shut as I left my apartment. I texted Spencer as I left.

{Emma- Italics, Spencer- Underlined}

"Hey, can you do me a favor?"

"Sure. What do you need?"

"Could you ask Caleb and Kelsey if I can stay there tonight. Morgan and I got into it."

"Yeah. Of course."
