"I don’t wanna tell him!” Luke stops as the hushed voiced of Emersyn and Jack through the locked door of Jack’s bedroom.
"Why not?! This could be a good thing, and you could end up being my sister in the far future!” The youngest of the Hughes clan tilts his head to the side, face scrunched up in confusion as he walks closer to the door to hear better.
“No, Jack. Quinn is never going to know about my crush on him.”
“Alright! Fine! Your secret is safe with me.”
Hours later, Jack and Emersyn had joined their brother’s and the boys' friends, and everyone had begun to notice how weird Luke was being.
“Luke!” Jack snaps over at his little brother, who was shaking the entire table they were all sat at, a deck of cards passed around all of them.
“Stop shaking the tab—,”
"Emmie has a crush on Quinn!”
Everything falls silent as Emersyn sits frozen in her spot, everyone looking between the girl and the oldest brother.
“Awe, Quinn!”
“The baby has a crush on you!”
Emerysn can feel the tears weld up in her eyes as Quinn’s friends started to tease her.
“Emmie, I don’t like you like that.” Quinn laughed in her direction. “I — You're like my sister. I would never like you as more than that.”
“Em, I’m sorry.” Luke frowns as she stands up and quickly rushes out of the room.
“Nice going, idiot.” Jack scoffed, rushing after his best friend, “Emmie! Emersyn!”

“What?!” Jack stares at his mom in disbelief as Luke and Quinn follow their dad into the lake house.
“What’s going on?” Quinn frowned at the upset look on his brother's face.
“This is your fault!” Jack spins around to look at his younger brother.
“What’s going on?” Jim looks at his wife for the answer to his and his son’s question.
“Claire just called; she says that Emmie decided she was going to California for the summer instead of joining us all here.” Ellen said, “She’s gonna spend the summer with her cousins.”
“If Luke wouldn’t have opened his big mouth last summer and Quinn wasn’t scared to admit that he liked her, then Emmie would be here!” Jack stomped up the stairs and slamming the door to his room shut.

“I’m sorry, Jack.” Emersyn frowns as she sits in the airport with her phone pressed against her ear. “I’m gonna spend another summer in Cali.”
“What? Emmie…is this about—,”
“Yeah.” She sighs, “I can avoid him at school, and around our houses, but I can’t avoid him for three months without thinking about him rejecting my feelings for him. Even if it did happen two years ago.”
Its Jacks turn to sigh, “No, I get it. At least keep me updated. And promise that you’ll call and text me.”
“I will.”
"Love you, Jackie.”
“Love you, Emmie."
June 4, 2017
“Have you heard from Emersyn?” Quinn leaned against Jack’s door in the lake house, arms crossed over his chest, “Is she coming this year?”
Jack scoffed, “No. She’s going back to Cali, again. Where she’s been going for the last couple of years.”
“Is she—,”
“No, okay. Don’t. This is your fault and Luke’s.” Jack tells his older brother.
“How is this our faults?”
“Because! It’s Luke’s fault for listening to something that didn’t concern him and telling you about it! And it’s your fault because you embarrassed her in front of all of your little friends you had over! And you know what? I wouldn’t blame her if she didn’t step another foot in this lake house.”
“Maybe I can call her—,”
“Don’t bother.” Jack mumbles as he brushed by him, “She changed her number a year ago.”
June 22, 2017
“Wait, Emmie’s calling me.” Jack pulls his phone out as he sits around a fire pit with a few friends, putting the phone on speaker. “Hey, Emmie!”
“Jack! You will never fucking believe what just happened the other night!” Emersyn’s excited squeal filled the night air.
Jack laughed at her excitement, “By the sound of it, something crazy happened.”
“Yes! So, Ava and some of her friends took me to this karaoke bar that lets teens in every now and then, and of course they forced me to get up and sing—.”
“As they should have.” Jack cuts her off, “You have the voice of a fucking angel!”
“Thank you! Anyway, so as we’re walking out, I bump into someone and it’s Justin fucking Bieber!” Another squeal leaves her lips, “He goes on about how he’s just walking and head me singing so he had to walk on and check out it. Then he tells me that he wants to sigh me to his label!”
“But, because I’m only 17, I had to call mom and dad! then yesterday, I called Justin, and he automatically signed me to his label!”
“Emmie! That’s amazing!” Jack is smiling so hard his face begins to hurt.
“But that means that I gotta move to California.”
The smile slowly begins to face from Jack’s face before he stands up, taking the phone off of speaker and walks towards the lake house, his voice fading as he talked, “What do you mean you’re moving to California?!”
Quinn stares out at the burning flames in the fire pit, a frown on his face and an unfamiliar feeling of dread deep in his stomach as his brother’s words circled around in his head.
Was Emersyn really going to move to California?
June 29, 2017
“Do you have everything that you’re taking with you?” Jack sits on the end of Emersyn’s bed as he looks around at the near empty room.
“Yeah, I think so.” The brunette nodded plopped down next to him, laying her head on his shoulder, “It’s weird.”
“Leaving?”
“Yeah, this is the only place I’ve known since I was eight. Now I’m moving out to California.” She sighs, “We haven’t been apart since I started going to California.”
“We’ll have FaceTime, text. And when I’m drafted for hockey, wherever I go, then we can fly to each other.” Jack smiles as he looks at the wall ahead of him. “Are you gonna say goodbye to Luke and Quinn?”
“Luke, yes. Quinn…. I don’t know.” Emersyn frowned. “I’m not embarrassed anymore that he rejected me in front of his friends, I think I’m more hurt over the fact that I’ve been in love with him since before I even knew what love was. And he laughed and brushed it away as if it meant absolutely nothing to him.”
“Emmie, everyone can see that Quinn looks at you more than just a sister. Even then, but he’s been quieter since you stopped coming to the lake house. I think you should say bye to him.”
“Okay.”
She never did.

ROADIE
I hate when he’s away, leaving our bed cold and empty on the nights I spend away from my sorority.
He texts me throughout the day, before class, after class. And once I’m home, we call. I set my phone up in a mug as I shower and we talk about his games as I promise to watch them.
It’s the nights that can be the hardest, I used to spend the Tuesdays and Fridays I didn’t have class on with Trev at his nice little apartment with the big open windows that let the light in.
The Polaroids of me on a cork-board next to the bowl where the keys go, my favorite photo of us. I’m asleep in his arms; wearing a ducks fuzzy blanket that he’d bought me. Trevor is laid next to me, facing me. He’s awake, gently brushing my hair out of my face.
We’re listening to the same music, Cruel summer by Taylor swift; he denies that he’s not a fan of her but I’m working on breaking that down.
The way he looks at me, it’s like there are hearts in his eyes.
I know he’s going to be home.. in a few days. But I’m still missing him, more than ever now that winter is closing in.
He does this thing, where he sets up these warm winter sheets if he doesn’t have a roadie or a game. Maybe I’m cheesy or a weird girlfriend but here I am.
Washing his sheets, deep cleaning his house. Even getting the apartment ready for the fake tree we set up.
The apartment smells like Christmas and love and I’m so content I just want to lay here forever. With the candles, Trevor, Christmas movies and baking muffins and cookies like my mama did.
I tuck his pillows in, and lay this fluffy ‘Falala’ blanket on the edge of the bed.
He comes home, and I’m the first to see him, rushing out of my beat up Toyota, “Trev! Trevor!” I cry out excitedly as he comes barreling through the doors and scooping me up into his arms. Peppering kisses all over my face. When he finally lands a kiss on my lips I melt.
