Few weeks had passed and everything was going well for everyone including the successor of the Scrims. John was on his way to meet Emily when he got a call.
"Hello John It's Sarah, How are you?" The caller said.
John then replied "I'm shocked to even hear from you"
"Well I decided I don't want to be a stranger" Sarah said.
John then asked "How did you get this number?"
"Well you already know your family has powerful friends" She replied.
John then said "So why are you calling me?"
"How about we discuss it over a meal, I'm flying to Florida tomorrow. Oh would you mind doing a pick up?" She said.
John replies "Sure text me the Information"
He ended the call.
He then pulls up at a bar, where he saw Emily outside waiting on him. John parked, then walks over to Emily and said "Hey your out here In the heat waiting on me"
Emily smiles, grabs his arm and pulls him into the bar. She then took him to a table where they sat and ordered drinks and chips.
After few minutes of regular chit-chat Emily looks into John eyes and said " Why didn't you first Jordan and be with Hope?"
"Well I see Hope as my best friend and that's my reason?" John replies.
Emily then nods and said "What do you think about Raven?"
"Raven Is a different case she's basically that badass sister I never had" John said.
Emily nods again and asked "How about Quinns?"
"Now that's a bit tricky she's actually like the one person who I can't figure out. She's pure and when she's around It's like I have to do the right thing always" John said.
Emily laugh and said "So she's basically your mom"
John smiles and said "Well I guess that's an option"
"What about Anna?" Emily asked.
John then laughs "Now she's an Idiot"
"I can't argue with that logic" Emily replies laughing.
John then said "Well she's actually fun to be around. She makes me feel my age"
"Okay then what about me?" Emily asked.
John replies "The truth Is I feel comfortable as If I'm finally home. That's all I'm gonna say"
"So John I'm wearing a mic and camera, they made me do It so don't be mad" Emily said.
John laughs "I figured you'd only ask these question for two reasons and I was correct"
She laughs and said "What was the other reason"
"Well I thought you ask If I would like to get serious with you" John replies.
Emily then said "John Keen how are you so good at reading people because I would like to get serious with you"
John started coughing as her reply caused him to start choking on a chip. As he regains his breath he started to hide his face.
"Am I making the famous scythe blush by asking him to be my boyfriend" Emily said teasing him.
John asked "Did they put you up to this?"
"No I've liked you from the first time we met at the bar and hanging around with you only Increased my feelings for you. John I'm so In love with you" Emily said as she held onto his hand.
John looks at her, as his eyes became filled with tears. He then said "Don't get me wrong I feel the same way about you but Why?"
"Your the first caring soul I've ever met In my life John" Emily said.
Tears started running as he said "I'm a monster, a tool. Forgive me If I find It hard to believe that I could be loved. Be honest your all here for similar reasons"
"John I came here seeking your help and you delivered as promised. You also stuck by my side from then, you watched my back and your the first person who treated me with respect. I know most people walk out your life and betray you but I'll be loyal to you to the very end. You saved my life remember that." Emily said as tears came to her eyes.
John then said "I'm the outcast dumb kid, I'm used to everything and I'm scared that I'll get attached. Then get hurt again"
"I think about you all the time, you might not think your nothing special but your special to me and It hurts to see you put yourself down. Your scared of getting attached, what about me who knows exactly how your scars feel" Emily said.
John looks at her and said "Emi do you really mean every word your saying?"
"John If I make you feel at home, then shut up and come home" Emily said.
John said "I'm trying, I just hope you understand I'm a broken psycho"
She laughs and said "I'm Trying to get to you John but your running away from me" Emily then gets up and went home.
A guy walks over to him and took her seat John then said "Oh you can have It"
"I was listening to your conversation, I know It's none of my business kid but It's not often you see a girl express that she's madly In love with you and seeing the way you burst out Into tears I know your feeling the same way about her" The man said.
John replies "I do but I'm a walking disaster, I don't want to hurt her"
"Then place her Into the eye of the storm" The old man said.
John then asked "What If my disaster Is a landslide?"
"Then place her on top off the mountain, the way I see It kid your really scared of yourself getting hurt. My parents always said the lord never gives us more than what we can bear. Life's about hurting and some battles you win some you don't. So you need to stop bitching and go get that girl." The old man said.
John then jumps up and said "Your right Sir, thanks for the advice let me buy you a drink. Waiter!"
"Kid you got no time to waste so get going" The old man said.
John then hands him a hundred dollars and dashed off. As he exited the bar he sees Emily car heading down the street. He then dashes to his car and went sliding over the hood to the other side. He hops in, starts the car and went chasing after Emily.
