This fic is slighty different then the actual episode "Pride" on Degrassi. In this fic, Jimmy is Marco's enemy..and practically the whole school hates him, except for Sean, Paige and Manny.

bDislclaimer:/b I don't own Degrassi..I don't own Sean..I don't own Marco and I wish I did. Go Canada ^_^p

"Hey! Check it out! It's Marco the fag!" Spinner said, with a hint of amusment in his voice, as he passed by the mexican.

"Leave me alone Gavin." Marco retorted almost in a whispered tone. After what had happened earlier on that year, Marco was afraid of crossing Spinner again It had become apparent to Marco that he was safe nowhere. His parents had made it clear to him that they disliked the idea of him being a homosexual, and his only real friend was Sean. Spinner suddenly did a double take,ran towards the other boy and shoved him up against a locker.

"My name - you stupid homo - is Spinner. S-P-I-N-N-E-R. Get it right!" He yelled. The taller boys fist suddenly came down onto Marco's face, almost cracking the fragile jaw line. The younger boy screamed in agony. Though he was pretty used to it by now. It not only hurt because of the physical pain, but the emotional pain. There was always that little voice in Marco's head that told him 'this person used to be one of your best friends.' "You stupid little faggot. People like you don't deserve to live! Can't even get my fucking name right. Next time you get it wrong, you'll get worse." warned Spinner, and he had that look on his face that said he meant it. The abuser let go of the mexican's shirt collar and walked off, as if nothing happened. Marco rubbed his jaw and found that it hurt badly. He dashed into the men's washroom and saw that it was already beginning to swell.

"Shit." he swore under hids breath. How was he going to explain bthis/b one to his parents?

"Whoa..Marco, what the hell happened to you?" said a voice. Marco spun around only to come face to face with his only remaining friend, the only person who still cared. Sean.

"I opened the locker on my face..no big deal." the badly brused boy said casually.

"You opened the locker on your face.." repeated Sean, slightly disbelieving that senario. But, if that's how Marco chooses to tell his story, he supposed he couldn't argue for it. "Alright then. Quit being such a klutz Marco! You'll end up killing yourself." Sean meant it as a joke, but thoughts already began to swell up Marco's head. It would work perfectly. If he was dead, it would end the pain and abuse he was forced to go through. It would end all the hatred directed at him. But most of all, it would end his usless existance. That did it. Marco was going to kill himself after school today, and that was that. "Marco?" asked Sean as he waved his arms around, waking the mexican out of his trance.

"Huh? Oh..yeah..hehe." chuckled Marco.p

Finally the school day ended, and the weekend was ahead of them. Marco was going home, straight to his kitchen, and directly to the drawer which held all the steak knives. He was going to cut one long line across his wrists. Before that, he would write a short suicide note, telling all his family and remaining friends, who it was to blame for his death. Spinner and all of Degrassi Community School. Marco was deep in thought, when a hard shove was given to him.

"Wassup cock-sucker?" asked a voice. Marco shot out a short yelp as he toppled over some students and then quickly made his way back up, and continued walking. When he finally reached the bottom of the steps without any further abuse, the voice, now Marco identifyed as Spinner, said, "I asked you a question you ass!" as a slap was given to the mexican. On the same cheek side that the abuser made Marcos' jaw almost crack.

"Augh!!" yelled the weaker boy as he clutched his cheek. But Spinner held no mercy. He once again grabbed Marcos' shirt collar and pushed him into a wall, and as soon as he did, gave him a blow right in the gut.

"You gay ass fruit-cup!" screamed out Spinner. "You like it up the ass don't you Marco, you like the feeling of cock up your ass DON'T YOU?!" After he asked the question, Marco was still slient. "ANSWER ME!" commanded Spinner as he landed a blow straight to the grion. Marco tried to curl up into a ball, as was the reflexive way, but was still held up by the collar. All he could do was cry out in pain. Tears started streaming down his face, as he was slapped again, and again and again.

"Where the hell is Marco? He said we were meeting today to walk to his house." Sean pondered out loud. His sharp eyes scanned the campus, as all of a sudden the flickered over to where a much bigger man was beating up a harmless child. As Sean grew closer, he recognised the faces of Marco and Spinner.

"And bthis/b is for being a dick licker!" yelled out Spinner as he was just about to land a blow in Marcos' nose.

"Stop right now!" screamed Sean. Spinner stopped dead in his tracks, but when he saw the face of Sean, he dropped Marco and smiled.

"Wassup Sean! Dude, I havn't seen you around forever. Come-on, lets go explain to this dirty faggot what we think about him."

"Spinner, get the fuck away from him. Go home. Waste your valuble weekend to play a video game instead of beating up on Marco." Sean said, anger flames flickered in his eyes. Spinner got the picture and walked off.

"It's a shame that you sided with the gay-lord. You and I could have bso/b beaten the crap outta him."

Sean made an innapropriate gesture and walked over to where Marco was curled up in a ball.

"Marco..are you ok?" Sean asked, concern obvious in his voice. Marco looked up to see Sean leaning over him. Sean looked a bit taken back. Not just to see what Spinner had done to his beautifully flawless face, but amazingly, Marco still looked good despite all those cuts and soon to be bruises.

"No." answered Marco. "I'm finally broken Sean...I..I can't handle it anymore!" Tears began to fall down his face. Sean sat down next to Marco and hugged him warmly.

"Marco..you'll be ok..It's gonna be alright I promise." Marco just sobbed into Seans' denim jacket. "How about, you sleep over at my house this weekened. My brother is going outta town thought, so it'll just be the two of us. I'll take care of those cuts and we'll just forget about today alright?" Marco just moved his head up and down, still slighty sobbing. His hands clutched on tightly to Sean as if he would dissapear forever. "I'll just call your house and tell your parents." the brunette grabbed a cell-phone from his pocket and called Marco's parents. Marco noticed his number was on speed-dial. "Hey Mrs. DelRossi..I was wondering if maybe Marco and I could have a sleepover tonight. Ok, so the whole weekend? Ok..Ok...thanks. Bye." The anxious mexican was waiting for an answer. "She said I can keep you the whole weekend. Sean said with a smile forming on his lips. Marco smiled, but suddenly frowned again, his jaw hurt so much..he needed to keep it firm. "We'll just sit here a while and talk until you feel like moving ok Marc?" Marco just nodded his head slighly as he let his head fall on Sean's shoulder, hearing him talk about how much fun they would have.p
