Chasing The Moon Chapter 42
QuinnSometimes, after a rainstorm , there’s a moment when it stops. The thunder, the lightning and the rain all cease. The dark clouds in the sky dissipate the sun suddenly appears. There’s a rainbow, and the whole world is right. This moment, is the opposite of that. ————————Several things happened at once. Right when the guy said his name Quinn knew he had heard it before. He looked down at his outstretched hand to shake, but he didn’t take it. In that same moment he knew Em had arrived. Don’t ask how he had just become accustomed to sensing her. Some kind of radar went off, his skin prickled and the hairs on his neck stood up. It was the electricity, the air changed. He turned around and looked at her and immediately saw the look of complete and utter horror on her face. She had frozen and had grabbed Asher’s and Aspens hands. She was standing dead still minus the trembling of her body, which Quinn could see from where he stood. And then….It all clicked. River.

EmShe had stood there, not being able to move, talk, or breathe. Aspen was on one side of her, Asher the other when she reached out and grabbed both of their arms. She felt like she was about to pass out. All the air was sucked out of the room. Her knees buckled and she could barely stand. She had caught Quinn’s eye, who was standing there right by River. She didn’t even have time to process why, because she saw the moment it all happened. River saw her. A slow smile that she had once loved marred his face. He then winked at her, making her stomach lurch. And then…. Then he blew her a kiss. Quinn looked at her, and she at him. And some kind of unspoken understanding had passed between the two. And Quinn figured it out. She didn’t, however, expect what happened next. Complete and utter craziness ensued. It was a blur. One second, Quinn looked at her, and then the next he was pummeling River. Over and over and over Quinn was punching him.. people were screaming. She saw R

EmIf they’d thought inside the house was crazy, it was nothing compared to outside. People were running and yelling, and cars were trying to get out of the driveway, the yard and even the street. It was mass hysteria. The girls were in a group but people kept running in between them practically knocking them down had split them up some. The absurdity of it all was taking a toll on Emerson. She was starting to panic, even more so than she had been. Quinn saw this and immediately reached over and grabbed her hand. She had no time to stop and think what it meant because they could hear sirens in the distance. The police would be there any minute. She did, however notice how nice it felt to have her small hand in his big one. Even after everything he had done, he made her feel safe somehow. Protected. Taken care of. He started pulling her down the road towards the car. She noticed he was following Asher, and Aspen was running next to him. Em skidded to a halt. “Wait!” She c

PART 2 EmSometimes life worked out funny. The homeless man who accidentally found a winning lottery ticket; a woman who, after years of searching, found out the daughter she’d given up for adoption lives right next door; and Em, sitting in the backseat of Asher’s jeep, with none other than Quinn Gibson himself. After, no less, he had gone ape shit on her ex boyfriend that had taken advantage of her. Yeah, life was weird. Em had about a million and one questions. But it took them all a moment to calm down enough to even speak. Once she was able though, for some reason her first thought was the nickname she heard Quinn say. But Asher was the one who answered that. “That’s y’all’s name. Y’all are the g-gals. Don’t ask why it just is, just accept it.” He told them. Well that explained literally nothing. She felt odd sitting so close to Quinn after everything. But her body wasn’t getting the memo to proceed with caution. Whatever threads that tied them together were snap

EmSo Quinn told the twins and Em all about the supposed potential fighters at the party, and how Finley had only said that to get them all to come. He had started to suspect something on the way there when he found out she’d commissioned some of the guys to make sure Em came too. He had no idea how she had found out about River or how she had gotten in touch with him. But Em knew that it would be easy to find out if anyone did a little digging. She was more concerned with how she talked him into coming that far to a party. Even though they’d driven a while, River and his friends still came four or five hours from her old town in Northern California. What could Finley have said to get them to agree to that… she didn’t know. Nor did she really want to. She didn’t think he would be trying to contact her again after tonight. “That is fucked up on so many levels” Aspen was saying. “So fucked….” Asher agreed. “That girl is bad news man. I’ve been telling you that for years.”

EmShe must’ve fallen asleep. One minute she was practically having a breakdown, and getting the shock of her life as Quinn comforted her. The next minute they were home. She didn’t know why she felt so safe with him. After everything he had put her through especially. But sitting there in the backseat she couldn’t help but remember the night he had brought her inside her house. She had felt it then too. It was peace….he made her feel at peace. Even after all the therapy and time that had passed, Em still struggled. She had to keep her mind and body busy so she wouldn’t get lost in the past. But when she was with Quinn, all that hurt that was always just a touch away, it all disappeared. She knew they still needed to talk… alot. But for the moment she allowed herself to let go. To be free from all the pain and stress and worry that seemed to follow her every day. They would have a long conversation later … she hoped. They had gone to Asher’s house and as they were all getti

QuinnAsher was throwing questions at him left and right. But he was having trouble concentrating. He was keeping an eye out for Emerson who had disappeared into the bathroom with Aspen a few moments ago. He didn’t know why he felt the need to watch her every move but.. here he was. He could hear them laughing, and hiccuping. He heard Em snort and he accidentally let out a little chuckle. Asher was looking at him as if he had just turned into a horse. “Dude. What’s going on with you?” He asked. “You just chuckled. And you are not a chuckler.” Asher was saying. “And what was that shit in the car? I haven’t seen you acting this weird since that time I convinced you Madonna was in the grocery store.”Quinn gave Asher the most serious look he could. “You promised we would never talk about that.”“Righttttt”. Asher said still frowning at him. He was watching Quinn like he was afraid he would explode at any second. Which, wasn’t too far off base if he was honest. “I don’t kno

Emerson She and Aspen had finally calmed down enough to come out of the bathroom. But they both stopped dead when they heard Quinn talking. Em didn’t know what to think of all these revelations. Why wouldn’t he just talk to her and tell her how he was feeling? He went to a lot of trouble to try and run her off. And even with him explaining why he did all those things, she didn’t know how she felt about that. When Asher spilled the beans that she was listening, Quinn said “son of a bitch” and turned around slowly. Now would be the perfect time for that talk they needed to have. But in that moment the basement door swung open and Mickey, Sylvia, Elias, Chase and Grey came bounding down the stairs. Everyone was talking at once. Everyone wanted to know what had happened and what was going on. Sylvia and Mickey were throwing questions out like darts to a dart board. So the girls all went into one of the two bedrooms they had down in the basement to talk, and left the boys in th

Em But then the doorbell rang. Em’s stomach did a little flip with nerves. Her mom got up to get the door. She heard them talking in the entry but she couldn’t see anything yet. Her mom was saying “Yes… come in… I was just telling her….” And then a man walked around the corner. Em got up to greet him .. but then.. someone else walked around the corner. Quinn. Her surprise must’ve shown on her face.. she was so happy he was there though. But he didn’t look happy at all. Was he mad that she postponed their date? He just stood there with his hands in his pockets. “Hey! What are you doing here??” She said smiling at him. “Em” her mom said. “This is John … my boyfriend.” He smiled deeply at her and she immediately knew she had seen him before. Wait. Oh god. There’s no way. There is absolutely no fucking way in hell this was happening. “Wait” she said. “This ….” She said pointing to John..”is your boyfriend?”“And this…”. She said looking at Quinn… “is your dad??”“

EmShe and Quinn had planned to go to his house that night, as his dad wasn’t gonna be home. But then all the worry about the outfit, all the planning…. none of it even mattered. Em’s mom told her when she got home that she had a special surprise for her that night. The man she had been seeing was coming over. Em and Sawyer were finally getting to meet him. As much as she wanted to meet the guy.. she didn’t want to do it tonight. “Tonight.. mom? I’ve got plans.”“Well can’t you go out after dinner?” She asked. Em guessed she could. But she had been waiting on this night with Quinn forever. Pushing it back even a couple of hours really sucked. “We had some things we wanted to discuss.” Her mom said. What could her mom and this man possibly need to discuss that included Em? Maybe they were gonna take that trip together after all. She went upstairs to text Quinn that she would be late coming over because her moms boyfriend was coming to supper. Quinn never texted her b

EmThe day finally arrived when Em was getting her stitches out. She had been nervous about it all day for some reason. Her mom was meeting her at the hospital but she still wanted someone to go with her. So the girls all piled into the little small waiting room with Em and her mom.. and the doctor of course. Getting the stitches out in her forehead didn’t hurt too bad.. but the ones in her leg were a different story. Those were staples.. and she had to hang on to Aspen’s hand and squeeze every time they cut one out. Mickey was watching closely. She literally had her head down by Em’s leg. But the soon as the doctor took the first staple out… she gagged and said she was gonna be sick. “This is worse than watching you get that last tattoo ‘Em!”Mickey exclaimed. Em quickly looked up at her mom… who hadn’t known about the ‘Q’ she had gotten… even though it was in plain sight on her hand. She smiled crookedly to her mom and shrugged her shoulders. “Ahhh shit. I did it aga

EmHalloween had come and gone while Em had been in the hospital. She hated that she missed it because it had always been one of her favorite holidays. She and her brother would always dress up and she would take him trick or treating. They hadn’t got to celebrate last year either, because so much was going on. So Em was a little bummed. She had ordered the cutest costume too. It was an ‘80s aerobics outfit. It came with a boombox and everything. She had been especially excited for Quinn to see her in it too. She knew he would love the leotard. At least Sawyer still got to go trick or treating. He had dressed up as Jon Snow. Apparently he had told every person that answered the door that ‘he was the king of the north’. But now the holidays were just around the corner and Em was so exited. It was her absolute favorite time of the year. Her mom had told them she would get out the Christmas tree and decorations that night. And the girls were coming over to help them.

QuinnHe was trying not to throw her down right there in the middle of the fucking entry way where they were still standing, but it was getting hard not to throw her down any and everywhere. He pushed her back against the wall kissing her madly, dominating her mouth with his tongue. She moaned… he pressed his whole body into hers. Just so she could feel what she was doing to him. “Quinn” she breathed. Holy fuck. When she said his name like that, he had to reign in the wild animal inside him. He growled. “Ahhhhh” she was making the most glorious noises. He bit her lip, hard, then sucked it into his mouth running his tongue over it. She was writhing. Pushing her body into his while at the same time pulling on his shirt trying to get him closer. She was still hurt though. Still in pain. He couldn’t be rough with her. He pulled away… looking at her like he wanted to devour her .. and he did. But damn. She still had stitches everywhere. Her ribs were still broken. Her poor

EmThe next couple of weeks came and went. It was getting very cold.. almost snowy. Em loved it. After living in California, snow was a new thing for her. Although she had been skiing and vacationed where it snowed… she had never experienced it from home before. She was getting better every day. Her bruises were healing… her body was getting stronger. She couldn’t wait until she was able to dance again. She had to miss the competition she had practiced so hard for, but she still went and cheered the team on. Em was so proud of Sylvia and the entire group, they placed 2nd out of forty five teams. And that was not an easy feat. She was also proud of Sylvia’s mom… she had started this dance company all on her own when the school decided to cut out dance all together. They’d worked so hard.. and it had paid off. Em had gone back to school… she had a little catching up to do but luckily for her the girls had been bringing her assignments home so she wasn’t too far behind. She had

EmThe next day as promised Quinn came and got her again. They went through the same ritual.. he carried her up the stairs. She breathed in his cologne. He joked that she was a horny little shit… she bit him on the ear for that comment. But today they pulled up outside a hair salon. Em grinned so big she felt like her face would explode…. And it might because grinning that much really hurt. She got her hair washed and dried… it felt like heaven. Then she got it cut off… it was little above her shoulders when they finished and she loved it. She looked at Quinn expectantly…..“It’s not as much to grab on to and pull but I’m make do”.Em’s eyes got wide as everyone in the hair salon heard this. She stared at him.. he winked at her and smirked. He was literally killing her. Later that night the girls were at her house for a sleepover. It was the end of the week. Em was improving more every day. But she was still in a lot of pain. She would be glad when she could get all the

EmThey finally made it to their destination…. Which happened to be the tattoo place where Em and the girls had gone. “You’re getting another tattoo?” She asked him. “Yes. But this one is special.. so I needed you to come with me.”Quinn wouldn’t let her look at the tattoo until it was completely finished. She had sat there in the room with him watching the whole time, but not being able to see it. He got it on his arm, right on the forearm spot she had been admiring just a few moments ago. When he was finally finished he walked over to Em to show her. He watched her face careful as she looked down on his arm. Em was shocked. She couldn’t speak .. “Quinn” she whispered. There on his right arm in the same spot as the ones on his left arm…… was another set of eyes. Whereas his other arm held his moms eyes, this arm now held hers. That’s why he needed her to come so the tattoo artist could discreetly watch her and draw her eyes. He made them look so beautiful …. And lookin
Chasing The Moon Chapter 89
EmIt was cold and rainy out that day, Em found herself wishing it would snow. She imagined herself frolicking outside, throwing snowballs and building snowmen. So she had become a crazy person in watching the weather channel constantly. Yeah… she needed to get off the couch. Quinn was right she was a couch potato. Although it was through no fault of her own. She shooed Quinn out of her room as she grabbed some sweat pants to put on. Her leg was still very sore, and she didn’t like anything rubbing her stitches from surgery. She threw on her Uggs, and a long sleeve cropped shirt. Then she grabbed her puffer coat and looked in the mirror. “Oh ma geez” she said. Her hair, a mess .. and her face still very bruised. The stitches coming down her forehead looked the worst though. Why on earth Quinn would want to be seen in public with her… she had no idea. A few months later he had had to be She ended up throwing her hair in a messy bun on top of her head…. Once again revisiting
