Stepping into the hot shower Emma let the water hit her and run down her body. It was too hot, but the heat made her forget the night before. Flashing back onto it was almost enough to make
her slip, it seemed all too much like a dream, but it wasn't, and she knew it.
FLASHBACK
Walking into the party with Peter's arm around her seemed all to nice, it had been a couple weeks
since she had gotten out of the hospital, but Emma still felt uneasy around Peter, like things weren't right. She thought when Manny found out about them she would have broken them up, but instead
here they were, with Manny. Peter tightened his grip and pulled her onto the area the she guessed was the dance floor. A slow sang came on and brought tears to her eyes, it was Just Jane. Trying
to not let Peter in on her little secret, she did her best to keep dancing but it was all to much, she shot Manny a look and then took off to a bedroom, where she could be alone. Emma fell onto the
bed and wept not even realizing Peter was there the whole time. "Em?" she heard him whisper. She got up and brushed herself off but the tears still fell "Yeah- I- am uh fine". Peter gave her a
look and said, " You don't look fine, what's wrong?" "Look Peter, Ive-uh- had a pretty bad year, and um-" she stopped, the words just not coming "My mom, gave me and Manny the option of
moving to Wasega next year-"."What is in Wasega?" "Sean" she said solemnly, waiting for what she knew was coming. "Who the heck is Sean?" Ding ding, there it was. " What about Mr.S and
Degrassi and all your friends, what about me?" "Mr.S and my mom would be staying here, me and Manny would be staying with one of my moms old clients, I've known her all my life, and with
Craig gone Manny doesn't care" "So who cares about Manny and Craig-" Peter started to raise his voice, something he had never, ever done before, "what about us Emma, huh, what about us".
Those words hit home, those were just like Sean's before they broke up. Emma got up and grabbed Manny by the hand, pulling her out of the party and into the car. "What, Em what's
wrong?" Emma put the keys into the ignition, "I told him, when Just Jane came on and I went into the bedroom, I told him", Manny's face became paler and a sorry expression came into place.
"I'm sorry Em".
END OF FLASHBACK
Emma slowly turned off the shower and stepped out, letting the clod tile hit her feet. She walked into the room she shared with Manny, grabbed the phone and walked back into the bathroom.
Slipping out of the towel, and sliding the robe on she gazed into the mirror. Punching in the all too familiar numbers she locked the door for privacy. "Hey Cameron residents Sean speaking" the
voice stabbed through her, " Sean, its Emma, got room for two old friends in Wasega?"
