Emma's Point of View

I woke up with Carl's arms wrapped around me.

I missed him so much.

Somewhere from the kitchen I heard a noise so I quietly slid out from Carl's arms.

Rubbing my eyes, I checked the time and it was 7:24 in the morning on a weekend.

Who the fuck is up so early?

I tiredly shuffled into the hallway and made my way into the kitchen to see Ethan facing away from me.

He was smoking a cigarette and swearing to himself. I think he was attempting to make eggs.

"What are you doing?" I said yawning.

As if in slow motion the cigarette fell out of his mouth and he turned around slowly.

When he saw me standing there his eyes began to water and he quietly said "Emma?" the same way Carl sit at the apartment.

I smiled and he rushed over to hug me.

He squeezed me tight and I heard him crying.

"It's okay Ethan I'm back. I'm not leaving again" I said rubbing his back "I'm sorry I hurt you like this" I added.

We hugged for a while and then I pulled away.

"I have to go talk to the Gallaghers but tonight we'll talk and we can watch Scream Queens together and we can eat all the junk food we want" I said

He nodded and I got up and headed towards the Gallaghers house.

Ian was still passed out on the couch and was snoring.

I crawled over and sat on him and he woke up angry.

"I told you guys to leave me alone and don't bother-" he started but then he opened his eyes.

"What Emma-"

"Now that's no way to treat your only friend" I said laughing.

He pulled me down on top of him and into a hug.

"We have a lot to talk about and I think we both need to yell at eachother" I said "but I need to go say hi to Debs and Fiona"

"Okay. Agreed. I've missed you Em" he said before letting me go.

I kissed his cheek and headed up the stairs to Debbie's room.

Her door was open and we room looked great with what we did to it.

She was awake sitting at her desk doing makeup facing away from me.

I didn't really know how to reveal myself so I awkwardly knocked on the door.

She turned around and her hair was cut shorter than the last I'd seen.

"Emma?"

man I've heard a lot of that lately.

"Hey Debs" I said walking in.

She immediately got up and hugged me tight.

"We have a lot to talk about but I have to go say hi to Fiona" I said hugging her back.

She nodded and I walked down the hall and went into Fiona's room.

I opened the door to see a lump in the covers. 

Not noticing that lump was two lumps I grabbed a pillow and hit them hard twice.

"What the hell" Fiona Said sitting up slowly.

She saw me standing there and her eyes went wide.

"Oh my gosh Emma!!" She yelled and got up hugging me tightly.

"hey Fiona, who's your friend there" I asked pointing toward the man on her be who's face I couldn't see.

The man rolled over and I recognized him immediately.

His name was Jimmy. I didn't know his last name but I knew him and he was bad news.

He and my family were friends a while back when my family was on the richer side.

Then he stole some of our money and our car and haven't seen him since. Heard his family got richer and richer but I never checked.

"This is Steve" Fiona said smiling at him.

"oh really hi Steve" I said raising an eyebrow.

He recognized me as well and looked worried.

He tried to hide by smiling but I could tell.

I also knew his real name which gave me leverage. I wonder if Fiona knew about his 'job' of stealing cars.

"Nice to meet you" I said smiling convincingly.

"When did you get back?! I missed you ahh!" Fiona said smiling and engulfing me into another hug.

"Last night, Carl's still asleep in my room" I said "long story"

"Ughh go catch up with your family but come over later we need to talk" she said letting me go.

I agreed and went back downstairs.

Liam was watching cereal at the table now.

I passed Ian on my way out and he kissed my cheek before I left.

When I walked across the street I realized how cold it was getting.

I went into my room to see Carl still passed out on my bed without his shirt which I didn't notice before.

Sighing at his laziness, I laid down next to him and I pressed my lips to his.

That brought him out of sleep and he wrapped his arms around me.

For a 15 year old boy, he was a really great kisser.

He sat up and stared at me.

"Can you tell me why you left now please" he said running his hands through his hair.

I nodded.

"Everything was going wrong. I was making everyone upset and made you cry and I never wanted to do that. I was ruining everything and I figured if I left then everything would go back to normal" I said.

He hugged me.

"Please never leave again. We all love you and need you here" he said into my ear

"I won't" I whispered hugging him back.

"So who's the Steve guy Fiona's with?" I asked sitting back.

"Oh he's some real rich dude who's obsessed with Fiona for some reasons" Carl said laying his head in my lap.

I played with his hair and we just sat there for a while.

He was playing with my hand when someone knocked on the door of the house.

"Ugh I'll get it" I said getting up.

I was still wearing pajamas and I considered changing but I said fuck it.

"Wonder if it's that stripper I called" Carl yelled jokingly.

I was laughing as I opened the door and when I turned my smile dropped immediately.

Nick Robinson.
