/|~Mark Your Territory~|\

~24~

Emily POV
(Saturday)
I woke up the next morning in my bed.  I avoided Mark at all cost. He texted me and I didn't open any of them.  I was so fed up with him.  He texted me the most stupidest playboy texts in the world.

(Text)

"Hey Em!"
"How come you did show up to class?"
"Where are you?"
"We haven't kissed in SO LONG!"
"Baby girl...daddy needs you!"
(Recent) "Now I'm really worried.   Meet me at the park across from your house. I'll be waiting."
(End of text)

Like he actually cares about me!  Yea ok.  I threw my phone on the bed and went into the bathroom to wash up.  I soaked in the bath tub for 1/2 an hour, just trying to relax.  I got out, changed and went to get the morning mail.  I got back and my phone was ringing.  It was Jin...he called me?  I picked it up.

~~~~~~~~
Hey Emily!  Guess who?!
Jin?  Why'd you call?
Since it's the weekend...we don't have class!  So I was wondering if you'd like to go somewhere with me?
Uh...sure.  I'm not busy today.
Great!  Then...how about we meet at the park?
Sure sounds great!
Ok...bye.  See you later Em.
~~~~~~~~

Emily smiled at how kind Jin was.  He cared about her.  He knew what situation I was in, and he tried to cheer me up.  He's a sweet person.  The opposite of Mark.  That swindling playboy bastard. 

I got changed and started to head towards the park.  I called him again an he picked up almost immediately.

~~~~~
Hey Jin.  Where are you?
~~~~~

Jin|~"Behind you...."
Emily|~"OH MY god! Yah!  You scared me!"
Jin|~"Sorry....will this help?" *holds out 2 ice cream cones* *one chocolate and one vanilla*
Emily|~"Sure!  Thanks."
Jin|~"Here..." *gives her chocolate one*
Emily|~"How'd you know I like chocolate?"
Jin|~"Just a guess..."  *Past Emily liked Chocolate.*
Emily|~"Thanks..." *starts licking ice cream*
Jin|~"Let's go walking."
Emily|~"Ok."

Jin leads the way towards the community garden....taking her to see the flower.

Jin|~ *will she remember?  No...she won't.  Cause she's not her!  She a different Emily.  She died a long time ago.....But...I wanna try, and see.  Besides they're just flowers.*
Emily|~"Wa! The flowers are so beautiful."
Jin|~"Almost a beautiful as you."
Emily|~"Stop jokin and let's go..." *smiles*
Jin|~"I wanna show you something."
Emily|~"Ok..."

Jin takes Emily to the huge patch of white roses located at a secret part of the garden.

Emily|~"WA!!  I didn't know there were......white.................flowers...?" *closes eyes shut tightly* Distorted voice*

*\\\???|~"Here....one white rose for my white rose...."///*

**headache kicks in****vision becoming blurry* *loses balance*

Jin|~*catches Emily* "Yah! Emily...?  You alright?"
Emily|~"Y-yea...just a little dizzy that's all.  Let's go...."
Jin|~"ok.  You dropped your ice cream by the way." *laughs and points at it*
Emily|~"Ah...sorry.  I wasn't in the mood for ice cream anyways."
Jin|~"Ok, let's go then."
Emily|~*What was that?*

Jin and Emily walk back towards the park field to sit in the grass.  They had small chats and talked about school life and just getting to know each other other.  Until one topic was brought up.

Jin|~"So....have you talked to Mark?"
Emily|~*expression changed from happy and relaxed to depressed and stressed under seconds* "No....and I don't want to." *i wanna see him*
Jin|~"What did he do exactly?"
Emily|~"First he told me that he was going to the bathroom, but he never came back so I went.  And I saw him kissing -- another girl around the hall.  It was....Crystal."
Jin|~*Jin's eyes popped out of his head.  WHAT THE F*CK CRYSTAL?!! So your the reason Emily is like this?!  You'll pay. B*tch, just wait* *trying to hold in anger* "It's ok.  Maybe there's a reason." *mark what kind of hell of trap did you fall into?!*
Emily|~*puts her face in her knees and softly sobs* "Mark.....I miss you."

Jin pushes himself next to her and wrapped his arms around her tiny body.  He comforted her, patted her back, hugged her.  Cause all she needed now was time, healing, and comfort.  Emily fell asleep in Jin's warm embrace.  Snuggled in a ball, lying on his lap.

Jin|~*I will protect you Emily*
*a figure started walking towards me.  I didn't take note until it said something to me...*

???|~"Jin...!"

Jin|~ *i couldn't believe my eyes*

"Mark?!?!"
