All Chapters of Chasing The Moon: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

EmShe didn’t get a chance for an answer though because at that moment Asher busted through her door. “Knock much?” She said. “My bad totes sorry bout that babe.”“ I wanted to come and tell you….”“Too late my used to be best guy friend I already know.” Emerson gave him her best stern look. “He needs a place to stay. Just for a few days .. he’s got a lot going on at home right now”. As he said this he gave Aspen a knowing look. And from her expression, Em knew that she wouldn’t fight him on it. Whatever it was it must be bad enough that Aspen was okay with Quinn staying with them. And that meant it had to be pretty bad. Em sighed then. “Okay but can you keep him away from me please? I’m keeping my …. ‘Distance… yeahhhh resistance’ “. She started her song , and after singing the entire thing, Aspen and Asher both stared at her. “What? I made a song about it.” “Girlfriend that was awful” Asher teased her. Once Asher left Aspen was finally able to form complete thoughts. “

EmWhen she got her hands on her little brother…Em stomped back in her house and slammed the door behind her. Aarrrgggghhh!!!She screamed and very immaturely stomped her feet, turning circles and punching the air. This went on a while as she shook her whole body in a funny little dancing motion, trying to rid herself of all the anger that boy seemed to cause. When she finally got control, she opened her eyes to see the one and only Sawyer standing in front of her. “Sawyer!” She said incredulously. “Where have you been? I’ve been looking everywhere for you!”“Um clearly you have NOT.” He said matter of factly. “I have been right here for the past 5 to 10 minutes, watching you make a complete fool of yourself. My only regret is I didn’t get it on video… could you go back outside and come in and do it again?” He asked. She had no doubt her brother was being 100 percent serious. But she couldn’t be upset with him, when she was really upset at that good looking ass next door. U

Quinn Quinn woke up with a start. He must’ve been having a nightmare, but he couldn’t remember what it was. He looked down at the naked leg and arm hanging over him. Last night after his run in with Emerson, he had left Asher’s house and gone to Finleys. He had to get away from there, but he was quickly running out of places to go. He could stay with some of the other boys, but that was tricky. Greyson would absolutely let him stay there, but it was just him and his dad and their house was already small. He only had the one single bed in his room. Elias lived too far out, he didn’t want to drive half an hour twice a day. Although his friend never seemed to mind it, that just wasn’t something he cared to do. Chase’s house had plenty of room but his parents fought constantly. He didn’t want to go home and be around his dad, and he sure as shit wasn’t staying with Finley that long. Her mom wouldn’t mind it but that was a little too much for him. Actually, way too much.

QuinnIt was late Sunday night and Quinn was back at Asher’s. He was feeling fairly relaxed, and loving it. After everything that had been going on this was great. Asher was out with some chic, and his annoying sister was sick in the bed. He had drove to town to get himself some food, he didn’t want to wake Asher’s parents digging in the kitchen. It was getting very late and he wondered if Asher was even coming back home. As he was getting the food out of his back seat he heard something…. What the hell? What was that? Giggling. It sounded like giggling. And then… singing. What the…. It was a horrible song, but a beautiful voice. He stood frozen with his hand on the bag not daring to turn around. The moment he figured out it was her, he silently cursed himself. So close, he thought. So so close to having one peaceful night. Damn she could sing.. he was right. What the actual….What kind of song is this? She was singing about keeping distance? That cannot be a

Emerson Em woke up the next morning feeling awful. Her head was pounding, and she felt like she had been run over by a bus. She sat up, dizzily, and noticed she was still wearing her clothes from yesterday, but they were covered in grass stains and dirt. “Oh no.” She slightly panicked at the realization that she couldn’t remember how that happened. But she knew she didn’t go anywhere last night. The last thing she remembered was her bright idea to make soup for Aspen. Did she take it to her? Em sat there in her bed just staring at her dirty jeans for several minutes when the memories came creeping back in. “Ohhhhh nooo”. She had tried taking the soup over but then.. HE was there. She remembered falling in the yard … so that’s what happened to her clothes. Even though she felt embarrassed about that, she was more than happy that she figured it out. And she vaguely recalled having a conversation with Quinn but she wasn’t sure what it was about. A moment later she had a me
