Just Say You Won't Let Go

Feud

Emersons point of view

I woke up and didn't even want to get out of bed. The only thing that motivated me to get up was the smell of fresh fruit. I had on a long button down shirt. Considering I wasn't wearing pants I'm hoping no one is downstairs.

I went downstairs to see a buffet of food and uncle Scott sitting with a girl.

I went straight for a plate and grabbed some food. Uncle Scott didn't even look At me. Was he disgusted with me? I went to get coffee and realized it was Lex who uncle Scott was talking too.

"Hi, Lex" I said politely.

"Why are you speaking to me? This is all your fault." She said angrily

I just stared in astonishment. What the hell did I do now?

"Please le - " uncle Scott was cut off.

"Don't talk to her like that. Your forgetting that this is her house too. You respect the people who welcome you into there home. Don't blame her for MY mistakes. It was MY mistake to do drugs. And it was MY mistake to date you." Justin said as he walked through the front door.

"I'm going to go upstairs" I spoke quietly and slowly.

"Wait Em. I want to talk to all three of you" uncle Scott said.

"Oh now you want to acknowledge my existence." I retorted.

"Em. I wasn't ignoring you i was just -" I cut him off.

"I'm really sick of everyone's excuses. Why can't everyone just he honest and straight forward."i said sounding exhausted of everyone's bull.

"And I'm really sick of being cut off everytime I speak!" uncle Scott yelled.

"Sit" he demanded.

We all sat at the table. I put my food on the counter. I wasn't really hungry anymore. We sat in silence for a bit until uncle Scott broke it.

"Em did you know about Justin doing drugs?" he calmly asked.

"No she - " Justin was cut off

"I said Emily." He said through gritted teeth.

"No I didn't." I said calmly.

"Your a liar. He only started because of you!" Lex yelled.

"You know I didn't sign up for this. I didn't ask to be here. I didn't ask for Justin to pop up again. And i sure as hell didn't ask to be yelled at from some crazy ex girlfriend. I'm going upstairs." I yelled.

"No your not. You will stay here until we are finished." Uncle Scott yelled back

"Why? so I can be blamed and reprimanded for something I didn't do? this is crazy. I don't know where she got this crazy idea from but It isn'tTrue. I NEVER knew he was doing drugs. What else do you want from me." I yelled.

"What do I want from you? I want the old Em back. I believe you. You didn't know. I get it. I believe you over her. I'll always believe you over her or over anyone. I just ask for one thing in return. I want the real Emerson back. I know you've gone through A lot but I just don't understand this. Ever since I found out, you've been distant and rude. Why? " uncle Scott said sounding defeated.

"I want the old Emerson back too. But we lost her along the way. I lost her along the way. I lost her back when I lost my mom and real dad. I'm sorry for being distant and rude. I'm just ashamed of my self for letting it get this far. I'm embarrassed that you found out. I feel like your embarrassed of me too. And it's okay. If I were in your shoes i'd be embarrassed of me." I started tearing. "I'm sorry". I ran up the stairs.
