Don't own anything. Just playing around.

The way Bay and Emmett's Prom conversation should have gone and everything that happens from that point onward.

Part One

"I… I'm not even entirely sure what to say to you right now but I just KNOW that later I'm going to get angry, so angry I won't be able to talk to you… So, so I'm going to try and get it out now." Bay said, turning toward Emmett.

Emmett merely nodded while looking pained.

"I just asked you… I just asked you if you, if you were with me!?" Bay screamed and signed frantically. "We go through the hearing/deaf thing, the Ty thing, the custody thing and I asked you, what else there could possibly be. You didn't answer me and then you told me… you told me you were with me! "

It was then Emmett reached out to grab her hands and began to mouth the words "I am, I am, I am!"

Slowly Bay began to shake her head and back away.

"Emmett… you… you understoo- understand me. You always have, better than anyone. I, I rarely if ever had to explain myself to you. You… you just made me feel special." Bay whispered quietly as tears began to fall from her eyes.

"You are!" He signed forcefully.

She then took a deep breath, her head dropping forward before looking up again.

"I… I love you so much-"she whispered softly and signed slowly.

As Emmett began to respond, Bay reached out with a shake of her hands to stop him.

"You made my world… better. Do you remember me telling you that being angry together was a lot more fun? Well, with you around I was happy, so happy… more than I've ever been. You make me so happy Emmett." She said smiling softly around her tears.

"I love you Bay." Emmet signed.

Shaking her head, she began to pull her hands from his grasp though he continued to fight her on it. "But now… the thought of you with Simone… with her, I feel… I feel sick!" She said harshly, finally pulling her hands free.

She turned her back to him and began to walk away before turning to face him again.

"I feel like I can't breathe… drowning and sick. I… I can't!" Bay signed harshly.

Emmett began to frantically shake his head.

"It was a mistake! I was wrong and angry… and I am so so sorry." He signed.

Shaking her head again, the tears began to fall faster. "Was it because… we haven't? I mean-"

Emmett reached forward and began to frantically shake his head and hands.

"No! No!"

"I… I know I told you that night, when I asked if you were with me that I could handle anything. We just had to… had to talk through it… but this, this… I" She trailed off, shaking her head slowly.

Emmett's heart began to beat faster and without thinking he lunged forward and grabbed Bay pulling her into his arms. He then wrapped his arms tightly around her frame trying to keep her pressed against him as she pushed against him to get away.

"Bay" He whispered softly, causing her body to freeze against his.

"I. Still. Want. Just. You." He whispered again.

Slowly, Bay pulled back to look at Emmett's face. Emmett then pulled his lower lip into his mouth before continuing.

"I love you, Bay… please." He finished weakly.

Taking a deep breath, Bay stepped back slightly.

"I don't know how we're going to fix this." She signed mournfully.

Emmett nodded thoughtfully for a minute before lifting his hands to cup Bay's cheeks and pressing his forehead to hers.

"Together, please" He whispered again.

Bay sniffled softly before stepping back from his embrace, before reaching for his hand. She then began to lead him away from the building and toward the parking lot. Stopping by the bike, she looked up at him tearfully.

"I don't want to stay… but I don't want to go home either and as crazy as it sounds I want you to be with me wherever I end up especially when all my crying stops and I'm ready to kill you for all this." She said seriously.

Emmett nodded thoughtfully. "Where do you want to go?" He signed.

"Somewhere safe… away from everything, where we can be alone, please?" She whispered.

Again, Emmett nodded. He took the time to help Bay with her helmet and got her situated before climbing onto the bike. He then reached out a hand to help her climb on behind him. His stomach was still twisted in knots but the fact that Bay said she wanted him with her when she exploded gave him the hope that after the explosion they could work toward healing.

I just felt the need to fix that conversation. This hasn't been beta read. However, if someone would like to beta it for me, send a message. Also I may add more to this story if anyone is interested.
