"So what did AJ say?" questioned Emily as Lissa made her way upstairs.
"He wanted to see me again." She stated blankly.
"What did you say?" Em eagerly asked.
"I told him EVERYTHING I am not sure now if that was the right thing to do but he said he would back up a bit and let me think about things and if I wanted to see him for any reason he would be there. So tomorrow we are going to a park to talk." Lissa explained.
"Jeez, that must be tough." Commented EM. Lissa nodded.
"Dammit Em, why are they both being so understanding!" She exclaimed.
"Cause you are worth it!" Em explained. She smiled at her friend for a sec then yelled, "Sappy Time!" they quickly hugged. (EN: I miss our e-circle days...and our water fights and "sappy times").
"Well sweets you better get a good night's rest to see AJ tomorrow. I'll leave to your sleep." Em announced. She nodded and they hugged one more time.
"Love you Lissa." Em said.
"Love you back Emmy." She replied. As Em left, Lissa collapsed on her bed and without even thinking about it quickly fell asleep from exhaustion.
Em made her way downstairs to the awaiting Cate and Amy.
"the other house called." Amy announced.
"That nosy other house!" Em exclaimed jokingly.
"Yup maybe if Megs moved out they would leave us alone!" Cate concluded, also jokingly.
"So how is Lissa?" Amy asked.
"You know Lissa, she will be fine. She is being very mature about everything and is handling it well, I think." Em shared.
"That's good. I hope she is okay." Cate commented.
"Oh she will be, she has two great guys to pick from." Em explained.
" So EM, want to explain your shirt yet." Giggled Cate.
"I got pulled over." She said shrugging and smiling. They all exchanged high five's.
"So what are you guys doing tomorrow?" Em asked.
" I am seeing Carter tomorrow." Cate said nonchalantly although you could tell she was excited, " We are spending the day getting to know each other better." She explained.
"I am going over to Kevin's." Amers said blushing.
"Oh-la-la" Joked Em and Cate.
"For real guys he is a great friend. I can tell him all my problems." Amers added.
"Great, every one is leaving me tomorrow." EM pouted.
"I am sure, Brian will visit at least once and you can't forget the nosy other house." Cate concluded. They all laughed, exchanged hugs and went to bed, each dreaming of different people in different places but still longing to be loved, be happy, and live.
!~* The Next Day *~!
( This to prevent any confusion, blondes and wanna be blondes read this.)
"Nick, NO! I am not dressed. IF you come over, no one will answer the door!" Cate yelled into the phone wearing only her robe. All the occupants of the house sitting at the kitchen table laughing at her. Em got up to go upstairs as Cate threw the phone to her.
"Talk to him, I need to get dressed." She explained before running upstairs. Lissa and Amers were still laughing as Em talked to Nick.
"So you are friends with Brian, right?" Nick asked, making conversation.
"I hope so, otherwise I told him way to much." Em concluded.
"Do you want to baby sit his dog for me today then, he is like at some meeting and I am supposed to do it but I would really rather not." Nick (Carter) explained.
"Oh sure, I have nothing better to do than watch a dog." She sarcastically stated.
"Great! Tell Cate I'll be right over. OH and Bri will pick him up about 4 so be home." Nick advised. She hung up the phone and delivered the message.
"So what is this I hear about a dog?" Amers asked.
"Hey I like dogs." Em defended.
"Yeah but Em, you will kill Lil' Tyke." Lissa commented.
"I will not." She defended again. The room then irrupted in giggles. Cate was the first to leave, and that she did happily. Lissa and Amy left at the same time, same vehicle. Leaving Em alone with Lil' Tyke.
"C'mon Tyke lets go introduce you to our nosy neighbors." Em announced. 'The other house' was ecstatic over Tyke and he loved the attention. Megs, Kat, Heather, and Rach were filled in enough to understand what was going on. EM fell asleep on the couch while they were watching Beauty and the Beast. (We were bored!)
"OH Em!" Exclaimed Megs loudly. She mumbled something in her sleep before facing her friend.
"Its 4" She said smiling. Em dashed out of the house carrying Tyke just in time. Brian was there waiting but was about to leave. He smiled at her ravish appearance and they hugged.
"Thanx for watching my dog, but may I ask what were you doing over there?" He asked.
"I fell asleep retard." She defended with a smile. She then unlocked the door and invited him in.
"Brian can I ask you something I am a little confused.
"Sure what's up?" He asked playing with his tiny dog.
"Do you like me?" Em asked linking eyes with him.
