"So school's out, huh?" Emma asked, squinting her eyes to look at the excited students body. Sean stood on her side again, also looking around at the circus. She and him shared a look.
"And this calls for a P-A-R-T-Y!' shouted JT, as they started to walk to the Dot from school, Toby following in his footsteps.
"Someone say party?" Peter asked, coming up with his arm around Darcy who giggled, her hand on his chest as they were going to the Dot too.
"JT", frowned Emma. 'That's really insensitive. How can you think of partying at a time like this?"
"I can answer that, since I'm the one throwing it." Peter said. Even Sean gave him a look. "My Moms going out of town, meaning I have the house to myself." Peter explains.
Emma gave him a kind of sad glance, "Your mom is going to leave you while there's a killer on the loose?"
Peter gave her a side smirk, "You've been to my house, Em. It's huge, security locks everywhere, remember?"
Sean clenched his jaw and glared at Peter, "Remising old times." he noted dryly "Great.". He didn't need to remember Emma's been in his house before, probably in his bed, or at least on a couch watching movies, cuddling...
Emma squeezed Sean's arm with a sly smile. He was cute sometimes when jealous.
''Party might be a good idea," admitted Toby with Jt, "Plus, safety means surrounded by people, right?"
"I guess..." said Emma uncertainly but Sean gave her a look that it might just make sense.
"That settles it" said JT, "Everyone, prepare for the party of the century!"
They walked into the Dot where Peter bellowed to everyone in there, "Party at my house!" everyone tore apart from another to cheer.
Spinner sat with Paige, and he furrowed his eyebrows, confused. He looked around at all the people clapping and cheering. Him and Paige shared a look, "So much for you cops thinking curfew could hold people down." she taunted
He sighed and nodded. That plan had gone to hell.
"Party? Nice." Jay had to happily admit, sitting at a table nearby with Manny who waved her friends over.
"You really think it's a good idea?" Spinner asked, turning his head to look at them and looked up at Sean and everyone coming over. Even Sean gave him a shrug.
"One, we need fun. And two, well, Deputy boy...I don't need another reason to explain why I like parties." Jay confirmed to Spin and Spinner chuckled but rolled his eyes.
"I'll be there." shrugged Paige.
Emma sat in the booth with a bit of tension, avoiding Paige Michealchuck as much as she could. Manny instantly stuck up for her best friend, leaning forward to taunt Paige, "No nosey wanna be reporters allowed."
Paige squinted her eyes cat like at Manny, "Bite me, Manny." her eyes than travelled to Emma, "Hey Emma.."
Emma ignored, picking up the menu. Paige was more than outspoken about how Emma could be wrong about Snake, and Emma didn't like that. Once, Emma wanted to be one of Paige's best friends. She didn't even know that girl anymore. Now, Emma just wanted left alone with her friends and boyfriend. Popularity wasn't a thing on her list anymore.
With thoughts of Snake, and now her mother, and the attack the other night, Emma couldn't handle it. "Be right back." she moved quickly out of the booth and Sean watched her go to the Dot's counter.
Everyone was talking about the party, and Sean got wrapped up in a conversation with Jay. Spinner got up and whispered to Paige, "I'll be right back."
She nodded, but eyed him as he went to Emma at the counter.
Emma leaned on it, and she tensed when Spinner stood next to her. "We're going to catch this guy, Emma." Spinner swore.
Emma looked back at their friends, unaware of them talking about this. "Who do you think it is? I mean, do the police have any leads?"
Spinner embarrassingly shrugged. They had nothin. "Just a couple of theories... some so stupid." he even snickered.
"Let me hear them. Please."
Spinner looked at Emma's stern face. He cringed but nodded, lowering his voice. "One is that Snake may have a partner, and he's working this from the inside." he watched her eyes go down. "Second, is it could just be another psycho in Degrassi. Another Rick Murray. Another theory is that it's you."
He smirked at her snicker, "Yeah I heard that one too. Followed in Snakes footsteps, right?" she recalled.
Spinner shook his head, "I told you. Stupid theories. Then there is one that my Sherriff actually believes-"
He stopped, and Emma wondered why. "What? What theory is that?"
Spinner bit his tongue hard, glancing over at Paige and she caught his glance, smiling a little. His heart warmed and he glanced back at Emma with a cringe. He hated to say this about Sean. He knew they loved another. "Well, ever wonder how Sean got there so soon after you were attacked?"
"Manny must of called him-"
"No, remember she was the one who explained to Sean what happened when he showed up? All ballistic at your house?"
Emma looked at Spinner with wide unbelievable eyes. She then glanced at Sean at the booth, and he turned his head and noticed them eyeing him and his eyes seemed to darken curiously. Emma turned from him and snapped at Spinner with a low but shakey voice, "How can you say this? He's your friend!"
"I'm just saying that's what the Sheriff thinks!" Spinner insisted. "You know everyone is afraid of Sean because they don't understand him. Sean has a rough past. Easy suspect to point fingers at."
"So instead of helping me, the police are going to arrest my boyfriend? The only guy who I actually feel safe with?"
"Emma, right now? I don't feel safe about anyone. Everyones a suspect." Spinner said honestly.
((((*)))
Emma didn't even have the stomach to tell Manny or anyone else what Spinner had said. She went to the bathroom after and stared at her reflection for a moment before someone came in.
Paige came in next, and Emma tensed when she saw her and then rose an eyebrow, "Do you need something?"
"Hon, I was just checking to see if you were alright. I'm not the enemy."
Emma crossed her arms and turned, leaning on the counter. "Aren't you?"
Paige sighed and rolled her eyes. "Fine. I... I just kinda heard what Spinner said to you and I want you to know, I don't actually think Sean could ever do it." she smiled a little, "That boy loves you."
Another stall down the bathroom opened, and Heather Sinclair came out. Both Emma and Paige cursed and glared.
"So cops think Sean did it, huh?" Heather asked, going straight to the sink to wash her hands.
"Sorry this is a girls washroom, not a interrogation room." Paige snapped. She even knew where privacy came and went. Emma even smiled a little, but still cornered her eyes at Heather.
She went on about Sean, "I can believe it." She looked up, pretending to come up with her own theory, "The shooting could of fucked him up royally. When he came back to Degrassi, wasn't he pretty determined to get you back Emma?"
"Jealousy is an ugly color on you." Paige taunted.
Heather glared and looked back at Emma, shrugging her left shoulder. "I'm just saying. Sean is known for his anger issues. What if he heard something? Something about you that could make him snap?"
Emma jumped. Heather smirked. Emma hated to amuse Heather, but her mind started to think about what if? What if Sean found out about the past between her and Jay? The shooting fucked her up pretty badly, what if it did mess with Sean too?
"Or hey, maybe he's just always kept a grudge on you to the fact you bring so much drama and madness to his life?"
No- no this was crazy. Emma glared at her before storming out.
"Emma." Paige said when the blonde dashed out of there. Heather snickered, watching Paige go after her.
Heather now stood alone in the bathroom, and she fixed her hair. She smiled proudly and turned. She went to walk out before a figure stepped out of the first stall and grabbed her, pulling her in and she screamed, trying to push away from the killer.
He smashed her head countless times on the stall wall to get her to stop fighting. She screamed too loudy, and he covered her mouth and then grabbed her hair, putting her head down into the toilet. She screamed again but into the toilet where the water was drowning her and she struggled, trying not to drown but the killer was so strong.
Soon, her air bubbles gave out, and only blood spilt from her mouth. Her body finally fell limp and her eyes stayed open. The killer left her there, her head in the bloody toilet, body dead on the ground.
