Okay, so this is a fan fiction based on if some rumors about the ending of season 7 which turned out not to be true. I'm writing about Ellie and I don't want to give too much of the hopelessly dramatic plot away, so I won't say anymore, but please read and review
Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi, or any of its characters. The only thing I am to the show is a fan. I'm not writing this fic for any profit what-so-ever.
One-
Ellie woke up at about noon on an unordinary sunny day, causing her to move swiftly across the room to pull the blinds down with her scarlet ringlet's flowing behind her. She pulled her untidy hair back and out of her eyes with one hand and with the other she massaged her temples. She had a splitting headache that wouldn't seize that was almost numbing. As she looked around her whole room was a mess.
Ellie had never felt so sick. Her entire room was spinning as she paced around it trying to clear her head. She could barely even remember the previous night, other then the fact that there was lots of alcohol.
Ellie swayed out of her bedroom door feeling uneasy as she hobbled down the stairs where Marco greeted her cheerfully.
"Please, Marco" Ellie moaned. "Not so loud, okay?"
"Sorry" he replied. "Still feeling sick from that party we had last night?"
"Believe me when I say yes." She croaked. "I can barely even remember there being a party."
"You've got it bad"
Ellie sighed and nodded as she took a seat at the kitchen table.
"Well at least we don't have classes for another week, right?" Marco asked, hopeful to cheer her up.
"Yeah, I guess."
"A day for lucky moms and dads to be getting brimming baskets of dirty—and probably over-due laundry"
"Speaking of which" Ellie responded, "Are you going to visit your parents this week?"
"I don't know." Marco Replied. "I mean, maybe but they haven't even called me back yet. How about you?"
"I was thinking maybe later this week I would see my mom. You know, to check in?"
"Yeah, how's she been doing?"
"I don't know--that's why I want to be checking in"
Marco yawned deeply and stretches out his arms. "So, last night was the end of the semester shindig, but I've gotta' say I'm much more excited for tomorrow nights party." He stated.
"Tomorrow night's party?" Ellie questioned.
"Yeah" Marco replied. "Remember? Tomorrow we're partying it up with some people at Degrassi high. We never see them anymore."
"Oh—yeah. I almost forgot."
"You're still going to be around, right?"
"I don't know, I mean probably."
"Come on El—"
"Okay, well as long as Manny isn't coming." Ellie said with a smirk, poring herself some juice that was on the table.
Marco looked slightly guilty as he stared back at Ellie with a smile beginning to crackle through his face.
"Manny's coming?" Ellie asked, her temper beginning to rise.
"Well technically… yes." Marco said. "But a lot of people are and you won't even have to talk to her. You might not even see her."
Ellie sighed and began rubbing her temples as her splitting headache reemerged.
The next day rushed by pretty quickly until about seven when Marco was rushing around the house, getting everything ready for the party as Ellie and Paige were lounging around on the couch lazily.
"I could use a little help here guys." Marco said, sounding stressed.
"You could?" Ellie asked. "You could have fooled us from how you band us from getting chips."
"I just asked why you were grabbing the half-full bag of sun chips, which most people don't like anyway, when there are about 3 bags of unopened Doritos."
"Nice try hun" Said Paige, "But what I believe you said was, 'Don't touch that and get the hell out of the kitchen'."
"Fine" Marco said. "I'm sorry, but will you please help?"
"Fair enough" Ellie said, getting to her feet and pulling Paige up with her. "What do you need?"
"Just get refreshments ready" he said.
"Aye-aye captain" Ellie replied with a giggle, pulling Paige into the kitchen with her.
After the two got all the drinks out, they sat down at the kitchen table. Paige and Ellie were getting along a lot better then usual, which made the house seem a lot—quieter. After Paige started working most of the time and they got some space from one-another, they began to bond. This made Marco happy since he no longer had to break-up little cat-fights all day long.
"So, Hun." Paige said, moving her hair to one side of her shoulders. "You've been single for quite some time now."
"Yeah" Ellie laughed. "So?"
"So—Is there anyone you think you might be interested in?" Paige asked.
"No, not at the time. I don't know—I just haven't been in date-mode lately."
"Well Ellie, you know you have to date to be in date-mode right?"
Ellie rolled her eyes and shifted into a relaxing position of her chair, leaning back. "What are you getting at Paige?"
"Who says I'm getting at anything?"
"I'm not going to let you set me up with anybody Paige, so just forget about it."
"Ellie, you are just no fun at all, you know that?"
"Oh course."
About two hours later almost everyone was there. It was so great to see so many familiar faces. It became impossible to hear your own thoughts in the blaring of music and other voices, and everyone seemed to be having fun.
Ellie was in a small group of people, catching up with some old friends. She was chatting with Marco, Spinner, Jimmy and Jane.
"Too bad Craig's not here, or we could play with the band" Ellie directed towards Marco and Jimmy.
"Yeah, the one where you replaced Spinner" Jimmy laughed.
"Oh yeah, that's hysterical Jimmy" Spinner said.
"Sorry Spin." Ellie laughed.
"Don't be sorry, El. Spinner was a lousy drummer." Marco said, adding to the laughter.
"I was not that bad!" Spinner said defensively. "And besides, I'm in my own band now if you didn't hear."
"Yeah because Peter, Danny, Sav and you are just amazing." Jane said sarcastically.
"Right" Replied Spinner, "Now your all gaining up."
More laughter erupted until Marco gave Spinner a slap on the back and faced Ellie.
"Have you seen Paige around?" He asked.
"Last I saw she was speaking to Manny." Ellie replied, stretching out her back and raising her cup and shaking it a little. "Well, I need to get another drink. Anybody else in?"
Everybody replied in a big murmuring no, as Ellie began to walk back to the kitchen with some difficulty.
"Take it easy El." Marco said as she parted from them.
Ellie got to the kitchen and grabbed a drink from the fridge. As she brought the can close to her lap she couldn't manage to open it. She moaned angrily as she slapped it on the table looking around for help. Jay jumped down from sitting on the table with Manny and opened the can for her.
"You know when it's probably time to stop drinking, Red? Probably when you can no longer open the can." He said, looking back at the crowd behind him.
Ellie didn't reply, but took the can from Jay and held it to her side. She started to leave but stopped as Jay began speaking again.
"By the way, Sean's coming. That'll be pretty interesting. You should just let Marco know."
Ellie agreed as she came approached Marco again. The rest of the night was just a big, giant blur.
