MasukEm This must be what death feels like. Because she had never felt worse than she did right then. No amount of hangovers, or being sick could hold a candle to this. She’d broken completely down .. again.. when she and the twins got outside. She told them everything .. through her sobs. When she got to the part about her hand she finally looked at it. She’d been trying to ignore it but Fuck it hurt so bad. It was swollen and bruised. “Oh shit!” Aspen said looking at it too. “Em. I’ve seen enough messed up hands in my day. And that looks broken. We need to go to the hospital.” Asher said. As much as that was the very last thing she wanted to do at the moment… she didn’t have the energy to argue either. The entire way to the hospital she sat in the back of Asher’s jeep and cried. Quinn had said horrible awful things to her. Hurtful.. agonizing things. Her mother told her to come home when that girl had been there. It was like they’d just on purposefully rubbed it in her f
Quinn His entire body was vibrating with anger. He felt like his teeth would break from clenching them so hard. Emerson just ran up the stairs and slammed her door like a five year old… reaffirming what he’d just said. Had he been harsh? Yes. But fuck she infuriated him. She was such a bitch to Dany and he couldn’t stand that. And it was embarrassing. Dany probably wanted to get as far away as possible and he didn’t blame her. “Fuck I’m so sorry ..” he said to her then. “No you don’t need to apologize I feel like my presence is what started this and I should go…” she said. “No .. you don’t have to go.” He began but she was shaking her head. “I shouldn’t have come over unannounced. Christian just wanted to see Sawyer for a minute. He ended up coming home a few days early something with his dads work.. so now he’s going a couple days next week instead. I’m off today .. I just thought … I should have called.” “It’s not your fault.” Quinn said. “I’m so sorry Dany..” Carol said th
Chapter 93EmThe rest of the night somehow went by with no annoying phone calls and no annoying visits from Quinn. The girls had a good time. Aspen came and Em hugged her for what felt like an hour. They had a long talk and Em explained to her how humiliated she’d been. Then she apologized for the next twenty minutes because it was silly for her to feel that way. Aspen had been the perfect best friend she always was. And told Em she had no reason to be embarrassed about anything. And as soon as she felt comfortable enough to come back over… everyone missed her she said. Em certainly missed them. She was having withdrawals from being away from Asher for so long. They didn’t figure Maria would want the guys staying over so it was just the four of them. They ate tons of food and messed about .. singing and dancing. They did each others hair and watched movies .. all the normal girly sleepover things. She and Aspen slept on a pallet in the floor and Syl and Mickey took the bed. It h
Em She stayed with Sylvia for the rest of the day. Mickey ended up coming over and Em relayed everything to her just like she had earlier. Maria, Sylvia’s mom came in that afternoon and Syl asked her about the apartment. Maria was very surprised to hear that Emerson was asking about it. “Well. It is empty yes .. but .. the last tenants that lived there let the tub overflow and ruined the floors. So those have to be fixed before anyone else can move in.” Maria told her. Em physically deflated at that. She’d somehow talked herself into the idea that she would be living in that super nice apartment next to Sylvia. “How long will it take for the floors to be fixed?” Em asked her. “It’ll be after Christmas. If you can hold out til then. I’ll give you first pick. The rents not cheap though Em.” Maria said. Emerson nodded. She knew that it wouldn’t be. But she had her inheritance and she would use it if she needed to. But if she got the job at the doctors office that Rainn had been te
EmShe opened her eyes. Then she sat up in bed .. confusion taking over momentarily. Ah fuck. She was in her bedroom. At home. No.. not home .. at her mothers house. A heaviness spilled over her immediately of the reminder. When she woke up at the twins .. she felt a happiness. Now .. the opposite. It was a depressed sad heavy weight. And dammit.. hadn’t she just gotten rid of all the heavy emotions? She’d felt so light and happy and renewed after meeting with River and saying goodbye to Evan. Now she felt like she was at the bottom.. starting completely over. Looking at the clock she saw that it was mid morning. She hadn’t even fallen asleep until the sun started coming up. She wasn’t comfortable here. She didn’t have Asher next to her .. and if there was one thing Em knew, sleeping alone brought the nightmares. But she couldn’t remember having any while she slept. Maybe it was the weed. Or maybe because it was actual daytime when she finally went to sleep. Even with all that
QuinnHe couldn’t help it. A laugh was bubbling up in his throat. He caught it last minute and it came out as a smirk. She looked so damn funny. And cute. “What the fuck is happening right now?” Quinn said then. She rolled her eyes so hard she actually swayed. He frowned at that. “Salmon bitch patty.” She said then. He couldn’t help it. That got a snort out of him. Em had the funniest way of using profanity he’d ever heard in his life. He assumed it was because of Sawyer and she’d have to catch herself.. and that turned into putting words together that never went. “Em..” he tried again. “What are you doing? Why are you home and not at the twins?” She narrowed her eyes at him. “Like…. you…. don’t…. know ..” she said very dramatically .. just like she was walking. Now he frowned back. “I don’t know what the fuck your talking about.” “Surrrreeee you don’t.” She slurred. He walked up closer and got in her face. He leaned in .. sniffing. “Are you drunk?” “No you ass machine..”
