Hey people! I know you want me to update my other stories, and I will...in good time. First, I must post my newest creation and inspiration of the Saturday. Love Lift Me is on hold because I have all of these ideas, but they are down the road and I need something to fill in the time because last time I tried to skip something, I got bad reviews. Crazy Little Thing called Love is also on hold until I can figure out all my ideas and think of a sensible way to get Sean involved. Sumertime Blues is also on hold until I get some REVIEWS (hint hint)! And my musical theatre debut is in like two weeks, so don't be surprised if I don't update.
This is a story about Sean and Ellie (obviously). They are both 24, Ellie has finished university and is struggling to become a writer, and Sean works in a successful mechanics shop. Ellie is ready for commitment, but Sean is on the defense and when Ellie does some snooping around, she finds that she isn't the only one battling for his affections...
BTW: Please do not get this mixed up with Love Lift Me, they are two different stories, even though they may seem to fit together. I am also going to act like the mini-sode Don't You Forget About Me never happened.

Get tangled up in me
Sean walked into the apartment, sweaty and sticky from all the car grease and musty air from the mechanics shop. He stepped into the doorway, careful to wipe his feet on the mat or Ellie would freak, and walked in quietly.
"He called you what? Are you serious? An uncsrupulous freak?" Ellie ranted on the phone. Sean tried to sneak up behind her but she turned around just in time.
"You smell bad," she said, motioning him to move away. He chuckled lightly and headed toward the washroom.
"No no! Not you Faye, I was talking about Sean..." she trailed off smiling at him. He headed into the washroom to freshen up. He looked at himself in the mirror, remembering when he had long hair, dating Emma. He remembered their last dance.
He walked quietly, hoping that all of the drama would disappear and something good would happen for once. But he knew stuff like that doesn't happen in real life, and you have to face your problems head on.
"Surprised you're here," he spat out. Not the best choice of words, but they weren't horrible. She looked up from her drink, not showing any emotion.
"Why won't you return my calls?"
"'Cause there's nothing to talk about," she said with a hint of anger. "I got my period, false alarm."
"Really are you serious?"
"It's not something I'd joke about," she replied smiling.
"Well...that's awesome...right?" she nodded solemnly "So what now?"
"I don't know," she said, her head facing down. "You're off to basic training, I'm going to university next year
"When I-"
"Stop," she interrupted. "Maybe we shouldn't make any plans right now." He swallowed all of his emotions and nodded.
"Can I atleast have a dance?" Emma smiled and took his hand, leading him to the dance floor. She wrapped her arms around his neck, and at the time, he thought this was the girl he would spend the rest of his life with.
Everyday at basic training, he would fight, and fight hard so he would be able to see her again. He smacked the counter when he remembered the horrible way he found out Emma was dating someone else when he was gone.
Sean walked out of the taxi and headed toward her door. He rang the door bell.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, Sean," he smiled.
"Sean?" she screamed.
"So what are you doing back so early?"
"Well, I've served my time and now, I'm back!" he said. He leaned in to kiss her, but she hugged him instead. A strange boy walked into the living room with a plate of cookies in his hand.
"Emma, these cookies are delicious!" he said. They both broke apart and looked at him awkwardly.
"Emma, who is this?"
"Uh, Sean, this is Damien...my...uh..." Emma stuttered.
"Boyfriend," Damien finished with a smile on his face. The world froze around Sean. What had he done to deserve this? He waited everyday to be reunited with Emma and she was dating someone else the whole time?
"Oh," was all he could muster up. He picked up his suitcase and headed for the door. "Well, I better be going."
"Sean, where are you going?" Emma asked. He hated the concern in her voice. Like she really cared about him. If she did, she wouldn't have been dating Damien.
"I'm staying at Jay's for a while...might move in with him..." he trailed off, unlocking the door.
"Sean, you aren't seriously going to stay with Jay are you? He's totally-"
"Emma, mind your own business!" he said a little too loudly. Damien stood next to her as if he would have defended for her. He almost laughed at him, he could've taken 10 of him.
"Sean, after all I've done for you, you give me crap?"
"Yeah Em, you're such a help!" he stormed out of the house, and Emma followed.
"Always telling me what to do, getting me out of jail then conning me into thinking you loved me-"
"Conned you? I love you Sean!" He tossed his suitcase into the taxi.
"I waited everyday, worked my butt of so I'd be able to see you again, maybe move in together..." he said, trying to hide his tears, but Emma saw them.
"Sean..." she whispered. She tried to hug him but he pushed her off.
"But then I come back and you've been dating someone the whole time!" His sorrow turned to anger as he slammed the taxi door shut.
"Sean, wait," she exclaimed, hitting the taxi's window.
"Hey, watch the windows kid!" the taxi driver yelled.
"Have a nice life Emma," he called as the taxi drove away.
"Sean, I was-"
"Screw you!" he yelled, barely audible as the taxi drove away. Emma fell on her knees no the sidewalk and Damien came to consol her.
He took a cold shower to relieve himself from the grief, and entered the kitchen for dinner.

They sat down for dinner that Ellie made, spaghetti with burnt pasta sauce.
"Sorry, I'm sorta clumsy when it comes to stuff like-"
"Cooking? It's not that difficult Ellie," he grinned, poking at his meal.
"Oh yeah, just try concentrating on consoling moody Faye while setting a timer!" Ellie retorted. She took a bite out of her creation and spat it back out.
"Okay, this sucks, let's order a pizza!" Sean tossed both their plates into the green bin and picked up the phone. After the delivery guy came, they sat down in the living room.
"So," Ellie started, sitting on his lap. "What are you doing this weekend?"
"Sitting on the couch, watching tv, like I always do on weekends."
"Well, I'll be thinking about us..." she whispered, resting her head on his shoulder.
'This can't be good,' Sean thought to himself, bracing himself for the worst.
"And I was thinking that we should be like...I dunno...like engaged..." she continued on. Sean's eyes froze onto the blank tv screen, desperately searching for an answer in his head.
"I knew it was a bad idea to bring it up now!"
"No no," Sean yelped as Ellie got off his lap and sat on a recliner. "El, no, it's great you asked me, it's just-"
"You must be really freaked out by me now, right?"
"No Ellie, I love you...you just caught me off guard, that's all..." Ellie's eyes lit up and she sat back on his lap.
"So that's a sometime down the road, let's just take it slow?"
"I'm surprised how much you know me," he said sarcastically. Ellie punched his arm.
"I barely know you Sean Cameron, you're so mysterious..."
"Mysterious? Ellie, I'm an open book," he replied, grabbing another slice of pizza of the table.
"Okay, who was your first love?" he shifted in his seat to reach for the remote, but Ellie took his hand.
"Okay...so I'm not really an open book..." Sean said awkwardly. Ellie laughed and caressed his hand.
"Yeah, I figured that out at Degrassi, but Sean...you can tell me...there is no wrong answer..."
"Well...it was Emma..." he trailed off, searching for any anger in her face, but he found none.
"Well, do you still love her?" Ellie asked, tracing her finger around the patterns on the couch.
"No Ellie," he smiled, kissing her cheek. "I love you more than anything." She smiled and closed her eyes.
Please review! I know this was a pretty weird beginning, but I had to start somewhere, so yeah.
