Em

Em had been doing her best to avoid Quinn that whole week at school. And she had done a pretty good job. But she started feeling ridiculous about the whole thing.

Why was she acting like a jealous girlfriend? They’d never said anything remotely about the status of their relationship. Still. She felt something that night they’d bared their souls to each other. And she could’ve sworn he did too.

And the whole motorcycle trip? What was that about? And what he had said to her as they were leaving?

Ughhh. Em hated this confusion. She had noticed Asher was still keeping his distance from Quinn a little too. Once she had that realization— she fully decided to go find Quinn and talk to him. She was NOT going to come between those two again.

She had started looking for him, but then… she stopped. No sooner had she found Quinn did she see Finley standing there with him. It looked like he was whispering something to her.

Em had a small swift sickening moment when she turned and loo

    EmOnce they’d gotten their tattoos the girls did indeed go get burgers, and then to the movies to watch the new horror one that Mickey had been dying to see. They’d been in stitches all night over each others reactions to the tattoos. Lucky they were all 18 and were able to get them. Em of course already had one and new what to expect. Aspen also had one on her foot that she had gotten after losing a bet with Asher. It was a little snow capped mountain, a play on her name. However she still almost broke Mickey’s hand squeezing it so tight. These were the first tattoos for both Sylvia and Mickey. What got Em and Aspen so tickled was that they each had the opposite reaction that they’d been expecting. Sylvia just sat there and didn’t bat an eye, telling Aspen she didn’t see what the big deal was and that she barely felt it. So when it was Mickey’s turn, Mickey.. seemingly the toughest out of all them….they weren’t at all prepared for what she did. “SON OF A BITCH!” She yelled af

    QuinnThe talk he had with Finley went better than he had hoped. Instead of her yelling and acting like a brat — which had become her every day attitude lately~~ she was actually pretty mature and apologetic about it all. When she had asked him that question… when had he stopped loving her and started loving Em … he had to think about that for a while. He didn’t love ‘Em. Did he?? No. He liked her. A lot. He wanted to protect her, and the thought of anyone hurting her made him murderous with rage. She was an outsider, which he had let slide.. a first for him. He told her his entire story.. another first. And he had started looking at his relationship with his dad in a new light because of their discussion. But love? He didn’t do love. Not really. He hadn’t even kissed the girl. This was ridiculous. He had sat and thought about all this after Finely had asked him the question. And he turned to look at her to refute it, but the words never came. “You don’t need to try and deny

    EmShe looked at the girls, a questioning expression on her face. “What do I do?” Aspen was the one to answer. “What do you want to do?”“I kinda wanna tell him to fuck right off”. Em said. “Then that’s what you do.” Aspen told her. “Whatever you decide, we will stand behind you. “Em thought a minute.. then said “I also kinda don’t want to do that.”So in the end, she went to the door and opened it. There stood Quinn, arms crossed, hopeful look on his face.. along with…“Oh ma geez what the hell happened to your face??” She asked him. He had a cut over his eye, his cheek looked bruised.. his other cheek had another cut…..Quinn smirked at her. “I just left a fight.”“Oh.” Em still didn’t love that particular part of his life but.. she did understand why he did it. “Can we go somewhere and talk?” He asked her. So she led him around back.. where they went and sat on the pool chairs around the lit up swimming pool. The night was dark, only the light from the moon was shining

    QuinnWhat did she mean just be friends?? Hell no, he wasn’t letting her get away that easy. He was becoming addicted to her, in all the right ways. Something about her made him want to do better, to be better. He had known from the first time he laid eyes on her, that one day she would have his heart. He knew it, deep down. Maybe that’s why he tried so hard to run her off. Once he grabbed her, he saw a moment of hesitation in her eyes. He knew that might have scared her a little, because of what she went through, but he knew she wouldn’t break. And he wanted her to get over her fear, not sit in it. He would show her the way she was meant to be treated, and touched. He looked at her then, in her moon eyes, and the fear had already left. He reached up and tucked some stray hair behind her ear. “Your eyes are just like the moon.” He heard himself say. She smiled and tilted her head a little at that. Probably wondering what he was going on about… but surely she had heard th

    EmShe had to give herself a minute before sneaking back into the house. After that kiss, Quinn said he needed to ‘calm down’ some. She laughed at him when he had to adjust himself. They’d promised to see each other the next day. And he had kissed her again before he left. The first one had been full of passion. Crazy, cathartic, consuming, they’d both threw all their past hurt and betrayal into it. The second one was easy, slow, sensual. He had leaned back against his car and pulled her to him once again. He took his time with her. Slow….. his tongue slowly lapping and exploring her mouth. “Mmmmmm” he had moaned. She was having trouble breathing. Fire in her belly was swarming and flicking. What was he doing to her?? “Fuck”. He said when they stopped. Then he had to readjust himself again, which she again, giggled at. She had to really calm herself down before she could see the girls. She knew they’d know… as soon as they saw her. But she was flushed and at this po

    EmThe next few weeks were glorious. She and the girls hung out as much as possible, but Em stayed busy. She had school and work and practice nearly every day. On Fridays there were football games, the girls went to as many as they could to watch the boys. Quinn was staying busy too. He had football practice after school, and he spent alot of time working out and practicing his fighting skills. He had started riding his dirt bike more often, and he brought Em on a couple more motorcycle rides. They spent as much time together as they could but as they were both busy it was always fleeting. They’d had a few more kisses…. Every one of them pushing them both closer to insanity with need. They hung out at school some, they’d all started eating lunch together. But they didn’t make a big deal out of it….. partially because of Finley and partially because the whole entire school would talk if everyone knew. Em didn’t want more rumors to start. She wanted to keep this in her little bubb

    EmA second later her mom’s head poked around the door as she got her keys out of the door handle. Em’s body sagged with relief. “OH!” Her mom squealed. “Em!” She said, putting her hand on her heart. “You scared me to death what are you doing standing there in the dark?”“I um… thought I heard something.” Em said. “Well you did.. you heard me.” Carol smiled at her daughter. Em still wasn’t convinced but she didn’t want to worry her mom. “Right.” She said. “Hey.” Her mom called to her. “Are you okay Em? You look pale as a ghost.”“I’m fine mom…” she tried to shake off the weird feeling she was having. Her mom was still looking at her like she knew Em wasn’t telling her everything…. so she changed gears. “Sooo.. how was the date?” “It was good. We had dinner at that new place just outside of town… they’ve got the best crab legs I’ve ever tasted.” Her mom smiled. Em thought her mom looked truly happy in that moment. And she couldn’t have been more pleased. Her mom had been

    EmAfter her moms comment about being a therapist Em had an idea. Once she and Carol finished talking, they each shared some ice cream and then went up to bed. But Em still had a nagging feeling in the back of her mind. The noise she had heard earlier… could that of been her mom returning home? Maybe. But she could’ve sworn it came from the back yard. Plus all the weird phone calls…. she couldn’t stop thinking about it. She looked at the clock.. 11:00. It was late, but she couldn’t wait. She picked up her phone and dialed the number. It rang three times, and she started to hang up. But then…..“Emerson?” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Em felt bad about calling Evan this late but .. he had told her to call him day or night. She apologized over and over. To which he ended up having to tell her to stop doing. And then she told him what had happened. She told him about Quinn, and Finley, and how Finley hated her and so she had dug up information about her past… and according to Quinn, she h

    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.

    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

    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….
