Jemma's Pov:

Today is my last day of high school and it was time to get ready. 

I cant say wake up and get ready because in all honesty I didn't actually go to sleep. I spent the entire night tossing and turning on the couch.

I can't believe last night turned out so badly.

 I had planned to try some kink but ugh Michael pissed me off so much. What the hell is it with him.

 I've asked him to treat me like an equal but nooo.

He still wants to coddle me. Like I'm a fucking kid! I'm his wife god dammit! 

Instead of him trying to let me figure out the toys and kinky stuff why didn't he suggest anything. I was literally freaking out on the inside  on the verge of a nervous breakdown that I would disgust him but he 'figured I'd like that kinda stuff but wanted me to figure it out when I was more confident'

What the hell was that? Is he saying that I'm insecure? 

 Is he saying I should I be insecure? 

Because I'm 4 years younger then him? 

Because I was a virgin when I got with him? 

That's beyond stupid!

 I just want him to be able to treat me like an equal and how the hell is that gonna happen if he's worried that if he suggests something it'd be pressuring me.

I mean hello has he even met me? 

When the hell have I ever been pressured into anything? I'm not the kind of person that lets people pressure me into things. 

Maybe he doesn't know me as well as he thinks he does.

But what really pissed me off was the PMS comment. 

 Seriously WTF and why the fuck does he have Midol? 

Shit what if it belonged to an ex girlfriend? We never really had the ''ex'' talk really

I felt my blood boil at the thought of him trying to give me his ex's crap. He must seriously want an ass kicking.

 I tugged on my heeled ankle boots and stomped out of the house.

I got up earlier and got ready because I don't want to talk to him yet. 

I'm still pissed and if we talk now, I'll end up yelling at him again or throwing that stupid Midol bottle at his head this time.

He wouldn't give me an ex's crap right? 

No Michael wouldn't be that stupid....

Then again, giving me that Midol bottle while I'm pissed and mid-rant IS pretty stupid...

So I stealthily got ready and left before his alarms even went off. Flippin jerk.

 Now I have an hour to kill before school starts.

I sighed as I pulled up to Robby Pop's house and got out. Might as well have THE talk with him and see if he's ready to come clean yet.

Dork! Like I wouldn't figure it out.

We've been friends forever and well duhh.

 I won't push anything out of him because he may need time but I'll hint around when I take him for breakfast.

I walked into the house like I lived there because until recently this was one of my home away from homes. Plus his parents were out of town as usual.

I flung open his bedroom door ready to wake him up by jumping on his bed like I've done a thousand times before.

A startled scream left my mouth and my hands flew to cover my eyes. 

Did I just see what I think I did?

I cracked my fingers open and peeked. 

A helpless giggle escaped my throat as I saw the couple scramble for clothes cursing, tripping and well it was pretty fuckin funny.

"Shit where's my pants?" Robby's partner whispered frantically.

I squatted down and grabbed the pair that were next to me and walked over wordlessly handing them over. I turned my back as they finished dressing.

When Robby cleared his throat I flopped down on his computer chair and spun to face them. "So how's it going?" I giggled as they both blushed and stuttered.

"Umm Jemma this is uh well you see. I know it's not supposed-"

I cracked up and waved my hand dismissively at the speaker.

I turned to Robby. "Boy you and me gots some talkin to do. Dontcha think?"

He nodded his head glumly like a kid that got chastised and I rolled my eyes at him. "Are you happy?" 

He nodded wordlessly and I grinned my cheesy grin and hopped to my feet.

"Right well I'm gonna go make us all breakfast and let y'all get ready for school." I walked over to Robby Pop and gave him a tight hug and light kiss.

By the time they walked into the kitchen breakfast was already finished and the bar was already set. 

I looked up and grinned as I saw the couple make cute googly eyes at each other. 

I smiled and waved them over while I got the orange juice out.

"So I made eggs, bacon and my special mickey mouse pancakes."

Robby Pop smiled big and goofy when I handed him his that had a whip cream and cherry face. His favorite since we were tots.

"Thanks sweet cheeks" He shoved a forkful in his mouth and chewed quickly. "Not that I'm not happy you're here but uhhh why are you here so early?"

I rolled my eyes at him. "Long story short.. I'm pissed at Michael and I snuck out before he got up because I was liable to punch him in the arm again. Plus I wanted to talk to you about some things but I figured you would act like a dumb ass so umm yeah.. Buuuuutttttt since I walked in on y'all doing the dirty you cant act like like I'm imagining things. So I guess this conversation is gonna go a lot smoother then I orginally thought." I smiled my megawatt smile and glanced to the left of him.

"Good morning Sir." I chirped.

The man cleared his throat and looked at me nervously. "Morning Jemma, it's uhh nice to see you again."

I laughed at his obvious nervousness, then sent a glare at Robby. "Boy, I gave you almost an hour to talk to your dude and calm him down, What the hell did you tell him? He looks ready to shit himself! Didn't you tell him everything was good and I'll keep your secret?"

Robby rolled his eyes at me and sent a reassuring smile to his man before looking back at me. "I did tell him you'd keep your trap shut but he's worried you might get pissed later and it might slip out in the heat of an argument or something."

I snorted "Not very likely especially given my situation. Didn't you explain that to him?"

He sighed. "Sweet cheeks it wasn't my place to talk about that."

I looked back at the guy who was obviously trying to figure out what was going on.

 If I wanted him to relax and to open up I'd have to tell him about me.

"Look as long as Robby is happy and you treat him good then I don't have any issues with y'all being together. That's what I was coming over to talk to him about. It all kinda clicked into place the last few days. But make no mistake, if I so much as suspect that you're cheating on my boy or mistreating him I will go kung fu ninja bitch on your ass and beat you into next week."

He looked mildly more comforted and opened his mouth to speak. "You wont have to worry about that. I care about Rob a lot and would never intentionally hurt him. I understand that this might make things uncomfortable at school and-"

I laughed and he shut up like I offended him.

"Sorry Mr. Carr" I said out of habit. Then laughed even more.

He chuckled slightly. "I know this is weird and I understand that things could get complicated in my class but-"

Mine and Robby's laughs interrupted him again and the look he gave me made me wonder if he'd try to slap a detention on me. I sat up straighter and decided to clue him in on what was so funny.

"Actually Sir, It wont be nearly as weird as you'd think. I don't know if you were informed but I finish school today. So I wont have to sit in class and see you two get all mushy and googly eyed at each other. Even if I had it really wouldn't phase me Sir. Umm I ughh well you see... I'm sort with a teacher too so it's whatever. No judgment here."

He sat stunned then his eyes narrowed. "Which teacher?" He growled and I looked at him like he was crazy.

I glared at Robby then back at Mr. Carr. "Look here Teach! I don't give a god damn who you are. You better drop the attitude. I didn't give you any shit about you fucking Robby Pop and I wont tolerate you giving me shit about my husband. We're both adults and love each other very much. We're committed. It's not only fucked up but completely hypocritical of you to judge when as far as I know you could just be using my best friend as a piece of ass!" So back the hell off because this is one girl you don't want pissed off!" I threw my napkin down and stood up.

He looked like he'd been slapped. He blinked a few times then leveled a dark gaze at me. "It better not be Samson because I don't give a shit what you think you know about him. He's bad news. You haven't heard the things he's said about you!"

It was my turn to look at him like he was crazy. "EWWWW What the hell dude! No I'm married to Michael Jenkins. EWWW why would you think it was Mr. Samson. That's beyond sick! He's a dirty ass pervo. He stares at all the girls' chests and 'accidentally' drops things for the female students to pick up and his hand is always in moving around in his pants pocket!"

He calmed considerably and then he smiled. "Soooo you're Mikes fiancé? Wait.... Oh man now everything makes so much sense!" He grinned from ear to ear.

"Well we actually already got married but everyone flipped about the Vegas wedding so we're going  ahead with the big wedding and plus it's not like he can tell people he already married me while I was his student." I shrugged

"Man he talks about you all the time. I've asked him a million times to introduce us but he always has lame excuses. Now it all makes sense. Ya know I'm actually gonna be one of his and Skip's groomsmen."

We spent the next 20 minutes chatting and as soon as he found out that I was with Michael it was like a switch was flipped and he stopped being a nervous wreck and acted like a normal couple with Robby. It was so sweet and made me miss Michael something severe.

He dropped a kiss on a blushing Rob and gave me a quick hug. "Thanks for being you Jemma. Rob was so worried about how everyone would react, ya know. He's not just gay, he's also dating a teacher. I'm so glad he's got you in his life to support him." With that he smiled a sweet loving smile at Robby and left.

I grinned at my best bud and finally let out the squeal of delight I'd been holding and did my victory dance. I fist pumped the air. "I soooooo knew it!! Am I a flippin rock star psychic or what?!?!"

Robby threw me over his shoulder and marched us out to the car. He drove my car while I quizzed him on Mr. Carr.

"Dude! I'm so proud of you! He's a hottie and totally laid back, actually he kind of reminds me of a Michael, except Michael's stacked with muscles and has those sexy green eyes and wait.. I forgot I was pissed at him. Anyways what I was getting at was hot damn he's a good catch!" I said as he parked in my spot.

We got out and he pulled me to him as we walked in to school.

"Can you believe he's had a thing for me just as long as I've had my crush on him? He just assumed that I was straight since I never came out and never dated a guy from this school. He actually believed you and me were together." He sighed happily and crushed me to him in a bear hug lifting me up and spinning me around.

"Thanks for not freaking out. Mom and dad didn't take me being gay that well" He whispered in my ear. I pulled back to look him in the eyes. I grabbed his face when he tried to turn to hide his glassy eyes.

"Listen to me Robert and listen good! You are an amazing guy and I'm lucky to have you in my life. I love you and nothing will or could ever change that!" I gave him a light kiss and pulled him into a fierce hug as his emotions gave way.

People were staring and whispering.

 Ughh losers. 

I'm so glad that it's my last day.

He gave me a tight squeeze and another light kiss. "Really Jems thanks" He whispered tucking some hair behind my ear. "I love you too and no matter what happens after school. Me and you, we're forever sweet cheeks!"

I rolled my eyes at him but smiled. "Alright lover boy let's get going before Tina shows up and kicks my ass. She was supposed to ride with me this morning but since I left early she had to ride with Michael and man her hormones have been lethal lately!"

We laughed and parted ways to go to class.

The day passed by quickly with people congratulating me on finishing school early.

 I ignored Michael's attempts to talk to me all morning and skipped lunch detention with him. 

So he wouldn't find me at the cafeteria me, Robby and Tina left campus to eat.

It was probably my best lunch ever. Robby told Tina all about being secretly gay AND dating Mr. Carr. 

I even told her about walking in on them this morning when they were playing hide the sausage and about how cute and lovey dovey they were when while we ate.

We spent the hour laughing and she finally spilled the beans. 

She's having a boy! But we had to promise not to say anything to Skip. He wanted to be surprised when the baby was born.

We probably looked like maniacs. Me and Robby Pop both rubbing her belly and talking in goofy voices people always use with babies.

 All to soon we had to go back to school to make it on time for Michael's class.

I walked in and sat with Tina and Robby until the bell rang. 

I looked up and noticed Michael still wasn't in class and shrugged it off. 

I patted Tina's belly and giggled excitedly when I felt a light kick.

I got up and went and sat on Michael's desk swinging my feet back and forth.

5 minutes after the bell and he still hadn't showed up. The class was getting restless and I rolled my eyes.

"Come on guys flippin chilax will ya? We don't want Principal Sullivan getting called down here." I warned.

They settled down a little and Peter called out to me. "Yo Jems so today's really your last day?"

I nodded happily "Hells yeah and then I'm outta here sukka!"

The class laughed and Tina rolled her eyes. "Baby doll don't even try to front like you're not gonna miss it here!"

I rolled my eyes and shrugged. "Nope" I popped the P.

Sandra looked around and sighed. "Dude maybe Mr. Jenkins got called away or went home sick. I heard he was um not in a very good mood today. Plus I had lunch detention with him and about 5 minutes into it he released me but he looked hella pissed. I've never seen him like that. I heard Heather talking at lunch and she was saying his fiancé left him and-"

Robby looked around then back at me. He cut off the ramblings and rumor repeat. Probably worried I'd blow a fuse. Which no lie, I was close to doing.

"Sweet cheeks where the hell is Jenkins?" He asked loudly talking over Sandra so she took the clue to shut up.

"Umm seeing as how my awesome psychic abilities only apply to certain things, I couldn't say."

"Well you're his-" Tina slammed her elbow into his ribs and he groaned. "What the hell Juno?"

She looked at him sweetly. "Sorry the baby kicked and ughh yeah it was a knee jerk reaction."

He rolled his eyes and finished his sentence leaning away from Tina. "As I was saying before psycho Juno in a roid rage rudely interrupted, you're his T.A. Shouldn't you know where that tardy teacher is?"

I rolled my eyes at him. "Yeah dork but since I left campus for lunch with ya I wasn't here to get the memo" I drawled sarcastically.

The door slammed shut and a seriously pissed off Michael walked in.

He glared at every one as he made his way to his desk. "Miss James is there a reason you're sitting on top of my desk as opposed to a seat like a normal student?" He growled at me.

I rolled my eyes and tapped my chin like I was thinking about it.

"Yeah there is. Is there a reason the rest of us had to be here on time but our teacher couldn't be bothered to grace us with his presents until 15 minutes after class began? If you expect us to act like proper students maybe you should be here on time like a proper teacher." I smarted back pissed that he called me Miss James!

Ughh jerk. 

He never calls me that. 

Hell he never even calls me Jemma in class anymore. He always says Jems. 

Just cause he's butt hurt that I'm still pissed at him doesn't me he can act like a jack ass.

He blew out a deep breath and looked like he was counting to ten to calm his temper. He sat at the edge of the desk as far from me as he could get.

"Since today's your last day here I'm gonna let that slid. Consider it my graduation gift." His voice was back to his deceptively soft one. No one else seemed to notice that he was literally on the verge of flipping out.

He looked at the class with a careless shrug. "Since I was busy attending to personal matters and was considerably late and seeing as this is Miss James' last day how bout we just blow off the remainder of class and take a free day. Sound good?"

The class cheered.

"So anybody have anything to say to Miss James? Words of wisdom? Advice, since she's going out into the real world?"

"You still getting married?" asked peter. 

I shot a side glance at Michael and saw him tense and his jaw clench visibly.

 WTH?

"Yeah"

The questions and crap advice kept coming. Robby leaned forward and wagged his eyebrows suggestively. "Last chance to dump the old ball and chain and get with this bunch of hotness!!" He teased

Michael stood up and sighed.

"I have some advice Miss James. Normally I wouldn't broach this subject with a student but as it's your last day I think I'll make an exception. Marriage is a serious thing and shouldn't be walked into lightly. It's supposed to be built on love, trust and honesty. If for instance someone decides on a whim to run off to Vegas and get hitched then it's likely there will be regrets."

I felt the sting of tears wanting to be released as the meaning of his words settled into my mind.

 He regrets marrying me?

 This is seriously the way he picked to tell me? 

In front of my friends and the whole class........

 I quietly cleared my throat and moved from leaning on his desk, not about to give him the satisfaction of seeing how hurt his words left me.

"I understand how regrets and problems could happen. Especially when people aren't treated as equal. I had a friend that had her marriage crumble around her because she fought to be treated as an equal when her husband insisted on treating her like a kid. But I guess that's what happens when you marry a kid right?" I was surprised by how strong my voice sounded. 

It didn't even crack even though I felt my heart shattering.

The class was quiet and Robby tried to ease the tension by joking. "Damn, sounds scary! Makes me glad I'm not getting hitched anytime soon!"

People chuckled and I stayed silent looking over to Tina who was looking at me with glossy eyes and a clear question on her face.

I shrugged not knowing the answer to her unvoiced question. What made him stop loving me all of a sudden.

Michael's voice cut into our silent conversation. "Well Robert I wouldn't take things so lightly if I were you. Especially when her fiancé finds out she's cheating on him with you. Reality is bound to come crashing down on y'all but I would like to be the first to offer up my congratulations."

The color drained from my face and I spun on my heel to face him, temporarily forgetting we were in a class full of people.

"What the fuck are you talking about? Ugghh I swear you are such a jack ass!!!" I yelled at him. Ready to scream at him until he went deaf.

"Miss James watch your language!" Michael snapped back which only fueled my anger more.

"Yeah how bout you take that little command and shove it right up your ass! Mr. Jenkins!" I took a breath ready to continue but found myself being dragged into his office and his door slammed shut.

He glared at me. "Not a word!" He growled.

He turned away and popped his head out to his class and gave them a short command to behave while he deals with me and my attitude.

I stomped across his office while his back was turned and glared at every picture and memento he had of us. 

Lies! All lies.

Suddenly exhausted I put the picture I held back on his desk and sat down on his couch. I dropped my head into my hands and blinked back tears. 

I took a deep breath and blew it out slowly. Trying to keep from breaking down.

"Do you want a divorce Michael?" The D word made my throat burn.

I cleared the catch in my throat and continued on. "It was just a stupid Vegas wedding as you so kindly pointed out a minute ago. So I'm sure an annulment will be possible, then it would be like it never happened." I cleared my throat again to steady it.

"Umm I haven't touched your account so you can just take my name off of it. I'm not going to fight you for the house or anything. I... I don't want.... anything."

It didn't matter how many times I blinked the tears poured out. I kept my head down so he wouldn't witness my heartbreak.

 I sniffed as quietly as possible and grabbed my bag.

"I think... um I'm just going to go..... 

I'll be out of our......Your house before school lets out.... I'll leave the key on the counter."

I walked to the door that led out to the hall and opened it.
