But is this how you Wanted it?

Chapter 6: Popcorn Mess.

After their first hang out, Emma and Jose were close, and kept growing closer. He learned more about the illegitimate life as Emma learned about Isaac and a little about Cody through him. It seemed like a fair information to trade.Roxanna was jealous with how close they were getting, even though Roxy was Emma's rock. They would have a sleepover soon at Emma's house.

The first week of school zipped past them as Emma's grandparents had returned the following weekend from their trip to the floating Cali Island. California used to be connected to the rest of the U.C.N. when it was still the U.S.A. California was the only state able to keep its name, or at least it's nickname. In March of 5589, California was struck by horrible storms and hell ridden earthquakes, the state, eventually, was knocked off by the natural disasters. Now it floats.

Emma insisted she go to Roxanna's house the day they returned, and said they had planned a hang out for this weekend. Little did her grandparents know she was going to Jose's house, his parents had to take Jessica to the doctors, they gave him permission to have a couple friends over.

Jose had been talking to Isaac since he went to Clownous with Emma, he was trying to get Issac to meet up with him on Saturday, the day he planned for Emma to come over. She didn't know Isaac would be there, nor did Isaac know Emma would be there. Jose told Isaac if he had to babysit, because Jose knew, after a little bit of research, that Saturday would be prison visiting day; their mother, Zoey, would be off to see Isaiah. Isaac would have had to "babysit." Jose told him to bring Cody and Zany along with him when he came over.

Jose had talked with Emma being best friends for two weeks now, he would do anything for her. They still felt their spark, they understood it as they should be friends, neither of them knew, yet, the spark was a zing, it's a sparkly feeling in your whole body when you find the one you're supposed to be with forever and ever, Til' Death Do You Part.

Jose lived a few blocks down from Sweetener High. His house was two- stories, painted with a light tan and the front lawn was manicured wirh brightly green grass. There were rose bushes of all colors along the sidewalk and his car was parked out front. Emma arrived to his house, for the first time ever, before her brothers. Jose had told her they would watch movies and snack on candy and popcorn.

"Em, what kind of movies do you like?" Jose asked.

"Vintage Disney, you can't mess with the classics," she answered as she made the popcorn. "If you have any, surprise me with your favorite vintage movie." She turned in the microwave and heated the popcorn, modern technology heated it up in 5 seconds.

Jose went to the movie cabinet and pulled out The Little Mermaid. He put the movie into the player and waited for Emma to come to the living room so he could start the movie. He didn't think the Cole boys would arrive soon but as Emma entered the living room, there was a knock at the door. "It's open!" Jose got up, "it's for you Em, I'm sorry I didn't tell you." He rushed into the kitchen for drinks leaving her there before she could comment.

The door opened up, it was the Cole boys. Emma was still standing and bewildered by what Jose had said before he entered the kitchen, she hadn't turned around yet. When she turned around, her brothers stood there. The bowl of popcorn hit the hard wood floor, breaking the plastic bowl, popcorn went everywhere.

Zany had blue eyes like her, and hair like their father. Cody's hair and eyes was just like their mother, blonde with green eyes. Isaac had hair just like Emma, but eyes that were brighter than the grass out front. Jose walked back in sipping on a glass of soda.

"Oh, hey guys. Em, don't kill me. I did this for you, and them," but Emma wasn't too happy. She could get in big trouble if her lawyers caught her with her brothers.

With fury and pain in her eyes, "Don't kill you? If I get caught near them, someone is going to kill ME! I love that you tried but I can't... I have to go before they see them here." Emma tried to storm out the door when Isaac grabbed her wrist.

She gave him a hard stare, Isaac said, "Emma, I swear I didn't know Jose was planning this. But while your here, please, Emma. Let them get to know their sister," motioning to Cody and Zany. Emma seen that Isaac actually thought about her, how she had hoped one of them did. They were family either way. Zoey Cole would have never allowed them to officially meet, nor would Emma's grandparents.

She was trying to pull her wrist out of his grab, but pulling on her arm hurt against the football player's strength. She stopped trying to escape, "we're not supposed to have contact, you know this, you were the only one there, they said it at the last meaning before school started, before Cody came to Sweetener High. I'm not supposed to talk with any of you."

Isaac let go of her, she turned and started to storm off, "Emma Jones, as your superior, I order you to stay." He knew she had no true choice but to stay as told, it was under her rules to listen when commanded that way, so she rolled her eyes, turned around and went back inside. Pushing her brothers back inside and looking out to check that no one was there, before closing the door.

Jose still stood there drinking his soda, "I'm gonna get the broom automatic to clean up the popcorn." He left the room leaving Emma alone with her brothers.
