******* Yes guys I realize that this is by another boy band and I’m breaking an unwritten law but I really like this song and I think it fits. * bows down before jury * Please forgive me! hehe *******
Brian walked back into the room after talking to Amy only to find Em curled up in the corner again with tears in her eyes.
“Em? Baby, what is it?” Brian questioned her concerned while sitting next to her.
“It’s just…oh Brian, I’ve just gone and hurt one of my best friends. I can’t even imagine what Amy’s feeling right now. I just…can’t even imagine.” Em confided in him as more tears streamed down her face. Brian just smiled at her and reached his hand up to wipe away her tears.
“She’s okay, I promise. I just talked to her and asked her if I could have this time to figure out what I want from me and you. If there even is a me and you…” He reassured her. Em slowly lifted her face to look at Brian’s gorgeous eyes.
“Do…do you want there to be a me and you again?” She questioned softly with such vulnerability and such innocence.
“If you’ll let me love you, I promise not to hurt you Em.” He quietly responded as Em started to cry again. “Oh Em, I’m sorry…I’m so sorry. We won’t be together if you don’t want it! I’m sorry!” He hurriedly spoke, trying to calm her tears as Em just smiled at him and reached up to kiss him. Brian was somewhat taken back but responded eagerly. Finally, Em pulled away hesitantly.
“I want there to be an us again.” She told him with a smile.
***DOWNSTAIRS
Amy slowly and reluctantly walked downstairs. With each step she took, she questioned herself on what to tell the others and how to put it. ‘We just…fell apart….because of Em…’
“No…” She quietly said to herself. ‘Hey guys guess what, Brian and I broke up.’ Amy shook her head when this ran through her head.
“What am I gonna tell them?” She sadly questioned herself.
“Amy? Sweetie, you okay?” Amy heard Meg ask as she realized she’d been down the steps for quite a while.
“Ummm..yeah. I’m okay. Guys...I’ve got something to tell ya.” Amy began as she sat down on the step to tell her story, everyone gave each other worried looks but sat to listen to Amy speak.
*** TWENTY MINUTES LATER***
“He broke up with you for Em??!!!” Kat questioned angrily while jumping up from her seat on the floor.
“I can’t believe him!! I love Em but that’s just not fair!” Meg stated while jumping up to give Amy a hug.
“Well…yeah, but it’s all okay! I promise it is! I mean, I realize that he’s not completely over her and he’ll come to me after they’re done… It’s all okay. I’m okay” Amy hurriedly told the girls before they got TOO upset. The girls just looked at her with sad eyes and shook their heads.
“Are you sure you’re alright?” Kristin questioned concerned as Amy gave her a warm smile.
“I will surviiiiiiiive.” Amy joking sang while giving Meg and Kat hugs.
During Amy’s story Howie tried and tried to listen and understand what she was saying but he was just too pre occupied. Slowly he slipped out the back door and sat on the porch steps.
“What am I gonna do about Stef and Courtney?” He questioned himself as he sat there and thought when suddenly he heard a familiar voice.
“Hey baby…whatcha doin?” he heard Stef question him.
“Stef…hey what’s up? What are you doin here?” He uncomfortably questioned.
“Well, I was in the neighborhood and saw that someone was moving and when I looked closer I noticed that it was your stuff. You and Courtney moving?” She asked him.
“Well umm..not exactly.” He answered her, looking around for an excuse to go back inside.
“Yo Howie, what r u doin out here man?” Kevin questioned walking out onto the porch.
“Oh Kevin! I was just thinking and Stef came over and we were talking. Do you need help back inside?” Howie asked him, lightly nodding his head to signal to Kevin to say yes.
“Ummm yeah man we do. Could ya come in?” Kevin asked giving Howie a weird look.
“Sure! No problem! Well Stef, it’s been really nice but I’ve gotta go. We’ll talk later!” Howie told her while he jumped up and walked quickly through the back door into the kitchen. Once inside, he sighed a breath of relief. “Damn that was close”
***INSIDE***
Everyone was sitting in the living room talking when Em and Brian finally came down from her room. Appalled that everything had been set up, Em thanked everyone tons, not being able to explain her gratitude.
“Thank you sooo much guys! I can’t believe you did this! you didn’t have to!” She gushed as everyone gave each other odd looks.
“What’s wrong you guys? Why are you giving me such a weird look?” Em questioned, concerned.
“Nothing Em…don’t worry about the furniture, it was nothing. Really, it was nothing.” Kevin reassured her as the chatting in the living room resumed.
