Her world was spinning around, she felt dizzy and numb, and her heart was beating so fast that she cannot fathom what had just happened.
"Fiona aren't you happy for us, we're back together?" That familiar voice kept ringing in her head that the loud music, all the chattering, clinging of glasses and dancing seemed inaudible at this very moment, she was looking at an empty space and her breathing became deeper this time.
"Fiona, Fiona, Hey Fifi!" Holly J shook her shoulders lightly with a concerned look on her face. "Are you OK? You seem to space out on us? Holly J asked as she squint her eyes and inched her face closer to Fiona as if trying to examine her.
"Yes, of course I am. Wow, you two are together again, what can I say, now that we are finally best friends and my brother is your boyfriend, again, then we can be sisters soon." Fiona was faking a smile and held Declan and Holly J together for a hug. "Come here you two." She leaned her head to Holly J's side and pulled her closer than Declan. "This is a surprise, I'm happy for you."
Holly J pulled away from the group hug and held on both of Fiona's shoulders. "But hey, isn't it too early to call me sister yet?" She said with a grin on her face.
"Hey!" Declan spun Holly J around, pulled her closer for a dance then kissed her swiftly on the lips.
Declan and Holly J waltz their way to the middle of the dance floor laughing and left Fiona behind half smiling with a pang of jealousy and hurt within her that she literally felt her heart crushed into pieces. Fiona was now the third wheel sister who finally met her end of the road. "Why Declan? Why now?" Is all Fiona can utter to herself as tears were starting to form in her eyes she walked slowly and listlessly to the exit that the feeling of sheer excitement were all drained by Declan and Holly J's revelation. She looked back at the couple once again as she pushed the door half open, they leaned their foreheads together with smile on their faces. It's time for Fiona to finally accept the truth that she will never have Holly J for herself, the feelings will never be mutual that she can't love her back. Fiona saw this coming before and she kept on fighting her feelings that almost betrayed her a lot of times. She used to have every opportunity to tell Holly J the truth and it was a relief that she never did. She sighed and walked out of the gym, she was trying to balance herself because her knees were too weak that she cannot carry herself anymore, she let out soft sobs as she walked through the empty and gloomy hallway of Degrassi on her own.
"I can't get the right note out of my head!" Imogen stood up exasperated and stomped her way to return the guitar to its stand. She gave up on strumming the proper chords of the music she was trying to compose over this past few days and decided to call it a night. She suddenly realized that she desperately needed an inspiration to pull a good music out of thin air, unfortunately, it dawned to her that she was missing the revelry of Prom Night at Degrassi's and the resentment of being the odd one out that both her best friends Eli and Adam had a date. She convinced herself that she was trying her hand in making her own music to evade further humiliation for being the fifth wheel in the group. She put on her jacket and slung her skull printed black backpack to her left shoulder and turned off the lights inside the music room as she shut the door close. When she was about to leave she heard a voice crying around the corner. The sound sent shivers down her spine and goose bumps all over body, sure she loves her stuff with skull prints but the presence of a real ghost frightens her. She tip toed slowly to get around the corner and found out where the weeping sound came from.
Imogen squint her eyes as she peeked her head trying to identify the girl who was sitting on the floor who leaned her back against the lockers and pulled her knees to her chest with her chin resting on it. "Hello." Imogen called out on the other girl but she just looked at Imogen sobbing and rested her chin to her knees once again. Imogen walked towards the weeping girl and knelt beside her while she placed both her hands on her lap. "Are you OK?" Imogen asked as she inched closer yet the other girl was still crying and looking at an empty space. "OK, looked I don't want to bother you and all but I can't leave here and just ignore you but if you want me to leave just say so." The other girl was still ignoring her and letting out soft sobs. "Still not responding. Hmmm! OK now, invisible girl leaving." Imogen tried to get up when the other girl sobbed louder this time so she inched closer again and as she rubbed her hand at the back of the other girl she was surprised when she grabbed her for a hug. Imogen was frozen in place and was stunned for their awkward position that it left her no choice but to hug the other girl as well and rubbed her back trying to calm her down. "It's OK... OK now... It's OK." These were the words that Imogen can only utter to comfort the crying girl that she recognized as Fiona Coyne. The girl that she has been following around since ninth tenth grade but Fiona never even knew her name or if Imogen ever exists within the hallways of Degrassi yet at this very moment Fiona Coyne was in her arms and yet still, she still didn't know who her crying shoulder at this very moment.
