• . Emma wiped off the blood and the parts disappeared, “What did you do!”
    She came towards me to exam me, “I summoned a practice demon or person.”
    “Oh, okay then.” I didn’t know how to respond to this so I just walked inside…


    I looked outside the clear door that lead to the backyard, and Emma was on her cell phone. I took out some eggs and a pan. I turned the stove on and turned the knob to heat eight and grabbed my laptop from the table and plugged it in. I turned it on and while it loaded as fast as it could I cracked some eggs. I turned off the stove, because I had deiced to make an omelet. I grabbed the onions, peppers, and a few other ingredients. I logged onto my laptop and accessed my itunes. I went to were all my songs were loaded and put on a random song that was the theme to barney, I had no idea that was on there I let out a little giggle and then a song I loved came on. It was this love by the veronicas. I hummed along with it ‘til one of my favorite lines came on, “Now fate is pulling me away, from you. Even if I leave you now, And it breaks my heart. Even if I'm not around. I won't give in, I can't give up… On this love.” My voice was nothing special so I didn’t really care. I chopped onions and my eyes teared up. I wiped my eyes and put them in the cracked eggs. Then Emma’s and my song came on. I chopped the peppers, I started to cry when Michelle Branch started to sing. The song was I’ll always be right there. Emma walked in and saw me crying and she heard the song. She stood frozen and silently came over to me whispering, “Oh Jayne… its okay.” She hugged me and wiped my tears and it fit perfectly with the line, “To hold you close and dry your tears, oh just when you thought you were falling. You know I’ll always be right there.” I cried harder, I hated to show emotions but I knew with this song playing that this could be my last month, day, week, hour for even that with Emma. For all I knew I could stay with her for the rest of my life, but I couldn’t help to think back three years ago, when we were thirteen and were obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, we had figured ourselves as; me as Buffy, Ems as Willow, and Ben as Xander. I remembered us laughing at the Halloween episode and I remembered how upset I was when Buffy died. I had always secretly feared that I would turn out to be Buffy and have to fall in love with the one I couldn’t be with, or the enemy… I had feared that I would have to die and leave Emma. I collected myself and suddenly felt no so hungry. I looked at Emma and she looked at me seeming to know what I meant by crying, and by looking at her, “Ems, do you think we should call Ben?”
    She had always teased Ben and Ben had always teased Emma. But I knew we had a good friendship going. No secrets was the rule that was never spoken. I had known Ben longer which was different from Willow, Buffy, and Xander but we never cared. She nodded and I walked over to the phone. I remembered after the first ring it was like seven in the morning and he never liked to get up early. I was about to hang up when a groggily voice picked up, “Huh…Hello?”
    I felt my heart drop when I realized I hadn’t talked to him in about a month almost. I wanted to cry again but I didn’t, “Hey Ben.” My voice seemed strange to me, like I was suppressing a emotions, which I was. Emma had finished making a omelet and was making a couple more no doubt.
    “Jay? Its seven are you okay?”
    I laughed nervously, “Well, yeah…Emma is well living with me. And well this is hard to explain could you come over? Not now if you are sleeping….sorry.”
    I half expected him to just say okay see ya after I sleep but it was Ben so of course he didn’t, “Sure, I’ll be over in about an hour. I need to get dressed.”
    He yawned, “No Ben go back to bed…I’ll just talk to ya some other time. Bye.”
    “Jayne, I know something is up. I’m coming. Make something for me to eat.” I laughed.
    “Okay.” He hung up and I did too. I felt bad that he had no idea what was happening and that I hadn’t talked to him in so long.
    I walked into the kitchen were Emma was still making omelets. She had made four already and was making a fifth, “Have you been talking to Ben?”
    “No, I feel kind of bad that we haven’t.” She flipped the omelet. I walked upstairs thinking I really needed a shower. I had battled a zombie thing which I had to admit was cool but weird but a little nerve racking. I grabbed a towel and fresh clothes that looked like something I would wear, not something that I had just fought a zombie thing. I stepped into the shower and let the smell of my shampoo and conditioner soothe me and bring back down to earth, or to reality. The hot water awoke me and unlocked all the tension that I had just got. When I was done I quickly dried and threw my clothes on and my others in a pile to be thrown out…I really was not going to wear those again. I put moose in my hair and dried it with a diffuser. When I was ready I put a dab of eyeliner on and repainted my nails the color white. It was the only color in my bathroom, all my others were in my room. Emma must have been using this for something. I brought it back to my room and then walked to Damon’s room and knocked. No answer so I pushed it open. He was still asleep. I walked over to his side and brushed his hair away from his face. Such a beautiful man, I kissed his cheek and my lip gloss made a faint mark. I wiped it off very lightly making sure no to wake him. I walked out and closed his door. I walked down to see omelets on the table and Emma was digging in, I grabbed a plate and grabbed one. I started to eat and when I was half way done there was a faint knock on the door newly door that Emma must have put up when I was asleep. I stood up and Emma followed me. I smiled at her and opened the door. Ben stood there, he had on a red sweater and jeans. His eyes were green and hair was black, but he always said it was brown. Emma teased him that only girls pointed that out. Emma and I were so excited to see him we both screamed and hugged him, “Hi….nice to see you. If only every girl threw themselves at me.” He always made sarcastic remarks. He walked in…
