"But it'd make explaining to him so much easier! How could I be in love with Emmett? I haven't had any signs of it! Where are the little birds landing on my shoulder? The big orchestral swell!"

"Not to me! And not to Emmett! And certainly not to the both of us! There isn't even a 'both of us.' Emmett knows better than to fall in love at sixteen and with his best friend! It's bad enough that I basically forced him to date me, but now this?!"

"See, now that's where you're wrong," her eyes were beginning to shut on her. "Emmett would do anything to make me happy. Even if it means putting him through hell. So, I really have no idea if he wanted to date me or if he was just telling me things to make me happy.

"I wish a grenade would hit me..." she muttered, laying down, and getting under her covers. "And I wish Emmie were here. I could forget about all that... love bullshit and just.... be with him."

"I'll be asleep, won't I?" she yawned. "You could try..."

"Would you like me to?" she repeated.

Feeling slightly woozy from the meds, Pru grabbed for Caylee's phone. Emmett was on speed dial, naturally. She punched the number and listened to the ringing.
