Bring me to Life
A/N: I do not in anyway shape or form own Degrassi or any of it characters. All the the characters that have been made up for the sake of this story and the story line all belong to BellaVision she just asked me to help write this story.
Okay this story takes place during season 4 after Rick's death and for the sake of this story Sean never went back to Wasaga beach and Emma never hooked up with Jay at the ravine.
Emma Nelson is walking down the hall at Degrassi Community School she knows all the eyes are still on her even though it has been weeks since Rick held the gun to her head. All she can think about is how rough this has been on her. Some nights all she can see when she closes her eyes is rick holding that gun to her head. Thankful though it was the end of the day and she could go home away from this place and everyone staring at her.
As she walking down the hall to her locker she caught the eye of a certain young man named Sean Cameron, lately she was all he could think about, he was wondering how she doing since the shooting. "Hello Sean, you listening to me." Ellie asked.
"Yeah so sorry I zoned out." He said
"No you didn't, you were looking at her again."
"Ellie..."
"No Sean don't even start, since the shooting it is like all you think about is Emma, and when she walks by you just look at her and it is like I don't even exist."
"Ellie.."
"Come on Sean you told me you were over Emma Nelson."
"I am."
"I don't believe you for one second Sean."
"Come on Ellie, lets go home."
"Whatever Sean."
"Ellie.. what the hell has been up with you lately, it is like you have been PMSing 24/7 for the last few weeks."
"Sorry, That I am pissed cause all my boyfriend can think about is his ex girlfriend."
"Ellie it is not like that.. I can't help but worry about her. For crying out loud the girl had a gun held to her head, she is probably traumatized."
"Who cares."
"Ellie what is that suppose to mean. That is just cold hearted."
"Oh forgive me that I don't like your ex."
"El, you don't have to like her but still.. you don't need to say things like that."
"Whatever Sean, I don't care." Ellie yells. As Ellie is yelling this Alex walks by.
"Wow, trouble in Paradise I see."
"Alex butt out this doesn't concern you."
"Ummm.. Buddy you are standing here yelling at my friend I think this concerns me."
"Seriously Alex get out of here."
"Ellie what is going on?" Alex asked.
"He is still in love with Emma."
"Ellie for the millionth time I am not in love with Emma, I am just worried about her."
"Cameron, Why the hell are you worried about your ex?" Alex asked
"Because the girl had a gun pointed at her head a few weeks ago and she is more than likely traumatized by it."
"Sean, quit giving a crap about Emma and focus on Ellie. Ellie is your girl now. If I hear that you are thinking about Emma or even talking to her I will deal with you myself."
"Oh Alex, I am so scared." He says sarcastically
"Cameron, you should be cause I will mess you up good."
"Whatever Alex I don't care." Sean said as he walked away from the two girls completely pissed off because they were trying to tell him how to live his life. Even though he was completely pissed off all he could think about was how Emma was holding up and what she was doing.
Meanwhile with Emma
Emma is just dragging her feet taking her sweet little time walking home from school. She zones out just thinking about everything that has been going on lately and a certain brown haired boy named Sean Cameron who saved her from getting shot in the head. All of a sudden she was interrupted from her thought when she heard someone screaming her name.
"EMMA!" The voice yelled. Emma turned around to look and see who was there sure enough it was her best friend Manny.
"Hey Manny how are you?"
"Em, I made a huge mistake."
"Ah come on Manny it isn't that huge. I mean it can't be a bigger mistake then the time you slept with Craig and didn't use protection."
Manny face went completely pale and she bowed her head in shame. "Oh my goodness Manny, what did you do? Or better yet who did you do?"
"Jay, I was down at the ravine."
"What caused you to go down to the ravine anyways?"
"I just went down there to think Emma, I mean so much has happened in the last few weeks. I just needed to go clear my mind and get away from it all. Then while I was sitting on the picnic table, Jay just came along and started talking to me and it just kind of went from there."
"So let me make sure I just have this right. You went down to the ravine to clear your mind and you ran into Jay and then you guys messed around?"
"Yeah..."
"Did you at least use protection this time?"
Manny drops her head in shamefully because she knows that she should know better especially after already being pregnant once before. "No Em, I didn't use any protection this time either."
"Manny, you of all people should have learned a lesson to use protection. So what are you going to do if you get pregnant?"
"Oh my goodness.. I don't even know.. I didn't think about that until you mentioned it that time."
"Em, I can't do this again I already regret having the first abortion. I really don't want to have to have a second one."
"Well then if you get pregnant this time keep it."
"But you know my dad he will flip his lid if he finds out I am pregnant."
"Well that is the best advise I can give you at this point Manny."
"Thanks Em."
"No problem. Well I have to get going home, Mom needs me to look after Jack while she goes into the salon for a couple hours and Dad is at the teachers meeting. You want to come over for a bit?"
"Yeah just let me run home and have a shower and change my clothes."
"Okay, see you in a bit Manny."
"Later Em."
After all this Emma scurries off towards home cause she is now running late because of Manny. She is about a block from home when she hears something. She looks around and the streets are completely empty. She shrugs it off think that she is hearing things and keeps walking suddenly she hears that noise again but it has gotten louder. She can't for the life of her figure out where the sound is coming from so she stops and listens again and she hears it so she walks towards a garbage can infront of the house that was just sold. Then she stops again and listens and she hears it, it sounds like it is coming from the garbage can. So she takes off the lid and looks in the garbage can and she can't believe what she sees. There was a little baby laying in the garbage can, you could tell by looking at the baby that it was no more than a few days old and that it was a boy cause it was dressed in blue. Emma being Emma she took the baby out of the garbage can and took it home with her.
She walked in the door to hear her mom yell "EMMA YOU ARE LATE!"
"Sorry Mom, Manny was talking to me and I got side tracked and then I found something in a garbage can that I didn't think should be there." She replied.
"Emma what could you have possibly found in a garbage can th-" Spike stopped talking cause she saw what was in Emma's arms as she entered the room.
"Mom, I found this little guy in the garbage can on the next street over. He was in the garbage can of the house that had just been sold and the people moved out a couple of days ago."
"Oh wow, Em, I don't even know what to say. Why don't I go grab some formula and some diapers from the corner store before I leave and you can change him and feed him and give him a bath and then we will deal with this when I get home."
"Okay Mom." Emma replied. So Spike ran down the street and grab the formula and some diapers and she mixed a bottle before she left.
"Okay, well I really have to run Em. Have fun and be careful. Is Manny coming over later?"
"Yeah she is coming over around supper time are we are going to order pizza."
"Okay. See ya Em."
"Bye Mom." She said as her mom left the house. So she gave the little baby a bottle and he drank it down really fast she figured he must have been hungry. After that was all said and done she gave the little guy a bath and she picked him up and started talking to him.
"Here you go all squeeky clean." She said. He just look at her and smiled.
"Wow little guy you are so cute. We should give you a name." So she sat down and thought about it. While she was thinking and rocking the baby her thought were interrupted by Manny yelling that she was here. Manny walked in the room and saw the little guy in Emma's arms.
"Awww... who is this little guy?" Manny cooed.
"I have no clue Manny.. I just found him in a garbage can."
"WHAT! You have to be kidding me you found this kid in a garbage can."
"Yeah at that house where the people just moved out a couple days ago."
"Wow that is crazy, so have you given the kid a name yet?"
"No I am trying to think of one at the moment you want to help?"
"Defiantly." Manny replied. So the two girls sit there and think when all of a sudden Manny pipes up.
"How about Parker?"
"Oh that is a good name I love it.. Parker. Now all we need is a middle name. Oh I know how about Parker Jimmy. We can call him PJ for short."
"I love it, but Em what are you going to do with this kid I mean it isn't exactly like you can keep PJ."
"Why not the Ontario laws states that at 16 you can become fully responsible for a kid."
"But isn't that a lot to take on with everything that is going on?"
"Manny, maybe this is what I need to help me though all this." Emma said as she looked down at the precious little boy sleeping in her arms.
"I know that you will be a great mom for this little guy Em."
"Thanks Manny that means a lot."
"Hey do you mind looking after Jack while I take this little guy up to the hospital to make sure everything is okay and to get him a birth certificate."
"Yeah defiantly." Manny says. Emma loads the baby into the little car seat they had from when Jack was born and loaded him into the car that had just come back from the shop that afternoon.
"Okay I will be back shortly." Emma announced as she walked out the door with PJ. She goes on to the hospital and tell the nurse what is going on and the nurse takes him checks all his vitals and his weight and she determines that he is healthy just a little tinier then he should be but he will be fine. Then she calls a social worker down to bring Emma all the forms to fill out to become PJ's mom and to run a quick background check on Emma. After everything is cleared away and it is all good. They release PJ back into Emma's care and they head on back home. When Emma gets home she sees that Manny is sitting on the couch watching a cartoon with Jack. "So Em, how did it go?"
"It went well they said he is a little tiny but other than that he is doing great and I am legally PJ mom."
"Wow, that is awesome so is his name Parker Jimmy Nelson? Or Simpson?"
"Nelson."
Emma looked down at the little boy in the car seat who had just opened his eyes and the only thing she noticed when she looked at his eyes was they were the exact same shade of green as Sean's. At this point her mind wandered back to Sean Cameron, the boy who had stolen her heart in the 9th grade. Oh how much she still loved that boy and wanted to be with him. She knew that he was with Ellie but judging from that fight she witnessed, she didn't know how much longer Sean and Ellie would be an item. All she could wonder about was what was going on between them now and where he had run off to after he left the school.
Sean's POV
He had gone on home after he had gotten in the fight at the school with Alex and Ellie. Ellie had yet to come home and he had no clue where she was but at that moment he really didn't care. Her not being there gave him time to think about stuff that had been on his mind. The one thing that was mainly on his mind was Emma and how she was doing and how much he missed her. He should not have been a total jerk when Snake got sick, he should have been there and supported her though everything that happened. The one time she needed him to be there for her, he couldn't do it. All he cared about was himself and what he wanted. At one point Ellie did cross his mind but only about how big of a jerk she has been being lately towards him and how he was concerned about Emma.
As he was laying on the couch just thinking about Emma he started to drift off to sleep thinking about Emma and not giving one thought as to were Ellie was or if she was even okay.
Meanwhile with Ellie
After her and Alex had ganged up on Sean he stormed off. She knew he would go on back to the apartment, so once she decided to leave school she went to the park to sit and think about ways to handle everything that was going on in her life right now. The whole school has been different since the shooting, no one was the same person. Her thoughts mainly though were on Sean and Emma those two were the two people who had changed the most since the shooting. Of course those two were the most traumatized by it as well because Emma had the gun pointed at her head and Sean had to witness someone wanting to kill his true love. Although both of them did have to witness someone killing themselves that had to be pretty disturbing too. With all of these thought going though her head she didn't even notice that someone had sat down beside her.
"Hey El." The guy said
"Hey Marco."
"Whats wrong?"
"I had a fight with Sean."
"Oh what did you guys fight about?"
"Oh we fought over Emma... I think he still loves her Marco."
"Oh Ellie." Marco said and gave the red head a hug
"I just don't know what more I can do."
"Ellie he loves you, he is crazy about you but I think Emma will always hold a special place in his heart. I mean the girl was his first love and a first love is someone that will always hold a special place in a person's heart."
"But it seems like since the shooting she has a huge hold on his heart, he is always so concerned about how she is doing and how she is holding up."
"Well that is understanding I mean Emma had a gun held to her head, the poor girl is probably traumatized."
"But still I don't get why he has to care so much, I mean I am his girl he should care about how I feel before how she is. When I mention that all he keeps saying is she has no one to talk to and open up too but Marco she has her parents"
"Ellie.. most people don't want to talk to there parents about stuff like this. I mean Sean was there he was the one who stopped rick for shooting her in the head. He knows what she is going through. I think you should ease up on the guy.. I mean he saw someone commit suicide."
"I suppose, maybe if they talk and Sean knows she is okay all these arguments Sean and I have been having lately will go away."
"Yeah El, just let them talk about this and it will all be okay again. There is just a lot of stuff going on since the shooting maybe they just need to clear the air, I mean Sean did save her life."
"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea maybe that will help the situation." She said.
Deep down she was thinking that letting them talk will only provoke Sean's feelings more. Sean sees her, gets to talk to her and gets to be close to her and poof Ellie is forgot about. Then once again it is the Sean and Emma show. She was so lost in her thought that she totally didn't hear Marco talking to her. "El, Ellie, Hello Ellie, Earth to Ellie any one home in there?"
"Yeah sorry I kinda zoned out."
"Ah it is okay. So what do you think?"
"Yeah that seems like a good idea to me Marco. I am going to go home now and talk to Sean about all this."
"Ah there ya go. You want me to walk you home?"
"No that is okay, Marco."
"You sure?"
"Ya. See you tomorrow Marco."
"Bye Ellie."
Ellie started walking back to the apartment she shared with Sean. She wasn't going to mention anything to him about talking with Emma, she wasn't going to risk anything by letting those two spend time together. She knew if they spent as much as 10 minuets together Sean would be gone out of her life forever and back in Emma's for good.
She saw the apartment building in sight so she cleared her mind of all the thought and walked in the building and went and checked the mail before she went into the apartment. When she walked into the apartment she saw Sean was laying there on the couch watching TV. She walked into the kitchen and grabbed a drink from the fridge and started to talk to Sean. "Hi Sean." She said
"Yeah."
"How are you?"
"Like you care."
"What the hell is that suppose to mean Sean?"
"You don't give a crap about me unless it has something to do with you and no one else."
"What the hell are you talking about."
"Come on all I was thinking about was how Emma is holding up after the shooting and you went ballistic on me saying I shouldn't care."
"Well you shouldn't she isn't you problem anymore."
"I know she is not my girl anymore.. but unlike you Ellie I actually have a heart, not a cold block of ice."
"I do not have a block of ice where my heart, despite what you may think Cameron."
"Ellie she has no one except her parents.. and I don't think she will open up to them."
"Well she can go find someone else to open up to you are my man Cameron and she better stay away or else."
"Or what?"
"I will deal with her and it won't be pretty."
"Seriously Ellie get a life, she hasn't tried anything so why are you getting like this."
"Because I see the way you look at her Sean, I know you still love Emma Nelson."
"No, Ellie I don't love her the way I love you."
"Whatever Sean." She argued.
Then she stormed off into there bedroom and stayed there. Sean just sat back and began to think about a certain blonde haired girl again. He really just couldn't help but wonder how she had been holding up since all this had happened. He also wondered if she ever thought about him.
