A/N= Seeing as S10 has started, this particular chapter will have current events slightly altered.

What seemed like a wedding with I do's said on impulse left the impression that it was a marriage that was going to last for a long time. Spinner and Emma led very different lives, but when they woke up next to each other and he said what needed to be said, that was it for Emma. It was a wonderful time for the newlyweds and for the guests. From a distance, Jane looked on as a chapter in her life closed shut. Now she, Holly J and Declan were off again, returning to NYC for more adventures.

Fiona seemed to be regaining her composure. After the twincest scandal and after her brother said in a VERY open way that she needs to get her own life, a first step was taken by way of a therapist. Mother Coyne saw sufficient progress in her daughter that a gathering was organized and held. A few of the Coyne's friends came and it went well, with Fiona opting for apple cider instead of the Dom. She was chatting it up with everybody and seemed to be comfortable with everything, especially when her mom came to her with a few people. "Enjoying yourself dear?"

"Yes I'm having a great time," Fiona beamed. She conversed with her mom and some of her mom's guests, and then she sat down on the sofa with a glass of apple cider. "You really like that cider don't you?" Fiona nodded as she was in the process of sipping. She nearly spit out her drink when looking at the guy who was smiling at her. "Bobby Breckenridge, nice to meet you."

"Fi-Fiona Coyne." They chatted for a good hour, with Bobby scoring a date the next night. That date led too few more and after a stroll through the park, they made things official by getting together.

Holly J was uneasy. Not only did her dream summer end, but she returned with a long distance relationship to manage. Returning home to her room was comforting but not for long when the uneasiness came back. She was setting a new photo down on her shelf when from the corner of her eye, boxes were stacked next to her bed. What the hell is going on, Holly J thought. Before she could open her laptop, her mom came in and Holly J immediately began with the questions. "So there's no hey mom I miss you?"

"Why are there boxes next to my bed?"

"There really is no good way to say this… we are downsizing."

"Can you be specific?"

"We will be moving into an apartment in one month." That was certainly shocking for Holly J, but not as shocking as what she would hear next. "At least I'm going to attend Yale after this year - -"

"Your father made another risky investment… and lost all your Yale money."

".SERIOUS?" Holly J's mom tried to explain that investments are risky and that things will have to change. After her mom left, Holly J went and opened her laptop to log on to Skype. Declan was dutifully waiting, relieved that he was talking to his girl. "You look upset, want to talk about it?" Holly J unloaded, talking about the move and her Yale money being lost. "Since I don't have any money, I won't be able to attend Yale." Declan usually had good judgment, but not this time. "This is a probably not a good time to say this - -"

"Yeah same here. Why, when you said goodbye prior to me taking off for home, did that goodbye seem like a final one?" Declan had no answer, talking about the distance between them. "I'm pretty sure we both agreed that we would do our best to make this work… why are you bailing? Why now when I need you now more than ever - -"

"I'M SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES AWAY HOLLY J! I love you, but don't think that you are the only one that's suffering - -"

"Spare me Declan. You have a stable environment over there as well as financial backing to go along with it."

"You know that's not what this is about," Declan snapped, "… I need the warmth of a woman next to me. While I realize that its not possible all the time, I still need one. The point is… oh I lost my train of thought - -"

"Oh bull Declan just say it!"

"I really did lose my train of thought." Holly J was fighting back tears. "I'm running for student council president, I lost my house AND my Yale money. Right now, my focus needs to be on this election because if I don't WIN… I'm not sure what I will do. If I lose this election, I would've lost my house, my money, and my boyfriend. Its better that I cut my losses now so it won't be so bad." Declan pleaded with Holly J to wait for a minute, but it was too late. "You can cuddle with yourself to your heart's desire now - -"

"Holly J wait, what I said came out very wrong - -"

"We are DONE, now this is ME saying goodbye you bastard." Holly J logged off and slammed her laptop shut. Barely able to see, she looked at her to do list, which consisted mainly of election stuff and classes. "M-My new immediate priority? I've got to go cry now." Holly J jumped on her bed and cried herself to sleep, meanwhile Declan calmly shut his laptop and went for the Dom.

Clare had her head out the window as the bus neared Degrassi. She had a pretty eventful summer, what with traveling to Europe and getting a haircut. After meeting with Alli and enduring an early rumor about getting a boob job, she was less enthused about her new style. Alli assured Clare that people will notice, talking about how needed to give it some time. As she played around with her glasses, they slipped off and they fell to the street. Clare couldn't grab them in time, seeing as a black hearse offed the glasses completely. The man that came out the car grabbed the glasses and told Clare that they were not coming back. After some small talk, the guy checks out Clare. "You have pretty eyes." Clare was taken aback, relieved that someone finally noticed her new eyes. "I'll… see you around?" She said that with a fervor that yearned for him to say yes. "I guess you will." Clare bit her lip slightly, happy that she'll see more of this mysterious man.
