All Chapters of Chasing The Moon: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

EmersonThe story The girls had finished their popcorn and were sitting on the bed drinking coffee. Em was trying to stir up the nerve to get started , but she was having trouble. The girls weren’t pushing or rushing her, they were just waiting and talking amongst themselves, giving her the time she needed and she loved them for it. “My dad was a doctor.” She said. The girls stopped talking and turned to listen to her. “He worked long hours at the hospital. Him and mom both did but she made sure to be home after school for me and Sawyer.” The memories came flying back as Emerson started the story. Seeing the events move in front of her eyes she allowed herself to go back to that place once more.“There was a boy…”. She began. Of course there was. There always was a boy in these stories. Hers just didn’t have a happy ending. “His name was River and I was crazy about him.”Em smiled at the thought. She remembered how much she had liked him. He was on the basketball team and s

QuinnThis party sucked. They’d been there for a couple hours and everybody was pissing him off. Asher was even more annoying when he was drinking than normal. And Finley had been hanging all over him all night. Usually that didn’t bother him as much, but she had been drinking for hours and was getting on his nerves. He was about ready to leave when Elias plopped down beside him on the couch. “What’s good” “Not shit right now. I’m about to bounce”“You gonna leave your boy and your girl here? They’re both plastered.” Elias pointed out the obvious. “Just let them sleep it off here man.”“Sure. No problem. You good?”“Yeah I just need to go to bed. It’s been a week you know.”Elias did know. He knew that Hux was coming home soon and he knew Quinn was getting more and more on edge. “Let me know when your ready to jump in”Elias did what Quinn assumed a manager of sorts would do if they were involved in legal fighting and gambling. He was the one who always found where the figh

Em7 songs and many obscene and ridiculous dance moves later Asher decided to take a break. Emerson was sweating and out of breath from laughing as she and the girls headed for the kitchen for a drink. But she was smiling and happy. She felt free and lighter since she and the girls had talked earlier. Following their new strict motto they all headed to find drinks together. Luckily the fridge had been stocked with anything a person could ever ask for so Em and the girls all grabbed bottled water and downed them. “Who comes to a party and drinks water”. Em heard a shrill like voice behind her. The person talking either didn’t realize their volume or else they didn’t care that they were heard. They all turned around to see Finley standing there with a group of girls laughing. “Oh you’ve got to be kidding me” Aspen was the first to speak. “Oh sweetie,”. Finley looked straight at Aspen. Wow her voice was annoying. “You know the boys will never accept you as long as you h

EmThe girls all stayed over that night, well, and Asher, who passed out in Em’s floor once they had gotten back to her house. Aspen tried to wake him and have him walk home but Em told her just to leave him. He was about three sheets to the wind and he needed to sleep it off. The girls didn’t talk much about what happened when they got home, Em turned on a movie for them while she took a quick shower. She had to get the nastiness off her. They all fell asleep pretty quickly, exhausted from everything that had happened. The next day they woke up around lunch, groggy and hungry. They sat on Em’s bed a few minutes waiting on the food and coffee they’d ordered when suddenly they heard…“What in the baby girls bedroom happened last night?!”The girls all screamed and jumped up frantically, forgetting that Asher was in the floor. His head showed up over the side of the bed, his hair completely askew and his eyes still closed. “Good schmorninggg” he drawled out. Aspen directly thr

QuinnThat night Quinn was sitting in Asher’s jeep with him. They were at an abandoned building about to go in for a fight. His dad had cried that day and unfortunately for Quinn, so did he. He couldn’t remember the last time he had cried. Crying showed weakness, and that made him angry. He was mad at the world these days. The other night at the party he had lost it on Emerson. He was actually more pissed off at Finley for acting stupid and childish but he obviously couldn’t take his anger out on her. So newbie got the brunt of it. Damn she looked sexy standing there all wet in that little dress though. Being so close to her did things to him. Things he would rather not say. And that’s exactly why he let her have it. No way was she going to have this power over him. She was messing with his mind, so she needed to leave and go back where she came from. “Wanna talk about it?” Asher pulled him from his thoughts. All he got in reply was a grunt though. “Did you get into a fi
