came out of him grudgingly. 
     
    Emma stopped walking, and looked at him, "I don't trust you." 
     
    She said it with such honesty it actually hurt him.  For some damn reason it really hurt.  Jax was turning into a vagina but he couldn’t seem to help it, he thought with a little irritation.  He really was sorry for being such a prick and he was at a loss of how to make it up to this girl he was starting to respect.  He'd never really respected a girl before, but he was seeing there was a lot to Emma.  She worked hard, she was kind, she was cute, and she was funny when she was telling him to go fuck himself.  All the things he apparently liked in a woman now.
     
    "You will," Jax challenged.
     
    "Why?"
     
    "Because I’ll make it happen," he stubbornly said as he moved his hand a little closer to Emma’s as they walked. 
     
    "Why is it important that I forgive you?"  Emma demanded worry lines creasing her face.
     
    It was cooling down and a breeze made her blond hair blow gently against her face.  He wanted to touch her so bad. Lately it’s all he thought about.  He wanted to let that little curl at the end of her hair wrap itself around his finger instead of across her mouth.  Jax grabbed Emma’s hand and started walking quickly, practically dragging her behind him; she skipped a few steps to catch up. 
     
    He took a big breath, "You weren't a person to me before.  You were some nobody that didn't even register to me.”  He sighed and squeezed her hand.  "I wasn't a nice kid , I had to keep everyone entertained all the time, I had all this pressure from my family to get into college, to be the popular kid, I did it at your expense.  Emma, I didn’t care.  I didn't care about you or how you felt.  I was a selfish evil prick and I’m still one because I want you to forgive me.  I want you to forget the past.  I want that and that makes me selfish because you want me to leave you alone." He stopped walking and dropped her hand, "I even force you to hold my hand."  The look on his face was contrite and a bit sick. 
     
    Emma walked a small distance while he stood still behind her letting her walk away again.  She seemed to think about it for a second and then said, "Well, come on, you’re walking me home right?”  Emma held her hand out and Jax grasped it like a life line.  She seemed nervous about it like she’d never held hands with a guy before.  Jax squeezed her small hand in his a little trying to convey some sort of comfort.  In that moment Jax knew Emma was a better person than he was.  Emma had a big heart if she could trust him just this little bit. Right then and there Jax promised silently he wouldn’t make her regret it.
     
    "If you had been talking to one of those young hot tattooed studs I would have punched his lights out."  He tried to make it a joke and she rolled her eyes at him obviously not taking him seriously. 
     
    Laughing she said, "How do you know I don't like older men?"  Now she was the one dragging him behind her. 
     
    He quickly caught up to her and whispered smugly in her ear, "I'm older than you by six months."

    " Someone said they saw you shadowing Uggie Emma last night." Paul was sitting in Jax's backyard drinking a beer.  Jax’s parents were pretty relaxed when it came to letting him drink at their house, but they would have given him a serious talking to if they knew of the parties he held when they were out of town.  The apartment complex he lived in wouldn’t put up with a bunch of rowdy kids partying. Jax and Paul had spent the afternoon talking about who they would invite to the next party in a few weeks.   
                 
    "If you haven't noticed Emma isn't so ugly anymore."  Now that Jax thought about it maybe Emma hadn't been the ugly one at all. He frowned into his beer, and thought Man, what the hell was up with him? What was with all this self introspection?   He was popular, he was cool, he
