Bacon and eggs was all Sean could smell as he followed Emma up the stairs the next morning. Manny was making everyone breakfast and smiled when they entered the over dated kitchen.

"Yum." Emma said, sitting down across from Jay who was digging into his bacon. Manny already knew Emma so well and gave her just eggs and toast.

Manny sat down her and Sean's plate and they sat to eat. "So," she said, a little worriedly, "Whose going to call in for Jesse today?"

Sean and Jay glanced at another with looks. Who sounded more like Jesse?

"I'll do it." confirmed Jay, "I got us into this mess."

"Do we go to school today?" Emma asked, "Act like we don't know anything?" She wasn't so sure she could do that.

Manny thought about it and suggested, "Me and Jay can stay today. If you guys stay tomorrow? Hopefully by then, we can find the tapes he has in his house."

Emma swallowed her eggs down hard. Her stomach knotted. She wanted to find those tapes, but another half of her didn't.

Sean nodded, "That sounds good." he looks back at Jay, "Me and Emma will go to school and when I'm back, we can go to his place."

Jay snorted glancing around at the girls, "And leave him with them?"

"He's not going anywhere." Manny said with an eye roll.

Jay clenched his jaw, looking back at Sean who raised an eyebrow and nodded. Jesse was triple tied to a pole built into the ground. "Fine." he muttered.

"If we stop by my house tonight," Emma mentioned, "I can get my moms taser."

Jay laughed picking up his orange juice, "That'll work."

"I have something better." Sean muttered, eyes down on his food, "We'll pick it up on the way to school so I can grab some clothes."

"I'll call my mom and tell her I'm staying with you tonight for studying." Manny said to Emma, getting up. Emma nodded, then sat there silently, letting her thoughts consume her. What the hell were they going to do? They better find these tapes.

((*))

After breakfast, Sean and Emma went out the door to head to his place and stop at hers for clothes.

"Hey!" they turned, seeing Jay back in the door way. The guy had a beer already in his hands. Sean snickered beside Emma who shared a look with him.

"Don't trust anybody but us with this." Jay warned.

Sean gave him a obvious look.

Jay continued, "Not your little goody two shoe squad," he told Emma and pointed to Sean, "Or your friends either, if you have any."

With that, he went inside. Sean guided Emma back to his motorcycle while muttering, "I'm going to punch that guy one day." Emma laughed while he helped her onto his bike.

((((((((******))))))))

Sean was packing his bag in his room while Emma sat on the end of his bed. She bit her lip and tried to get the nerves to just calm. She looked up at Sean and he was the best for that. She smiled slightly not believing she was with Sean Cameron. The bad boy of Degrassi. The way his hair waved and a piece fell into his face as he looked down and packed was so cute. His arms were so defined and she wanted to touch him again.

Last night was amazing. She never knew she could feel that good again. It was better than she ever hoped.

..and to think, the other week, the two pretended they never noticed another.

"I'm just about done." Sean said, glancing up and locked eyes with her. He saw a look on her face and smirked a bit, zipping his bag up. "What?"

She shrugged. "Nothing." she lied, then got up. "Can I take a shower?"

He turned and nodded, "Yea," he watched her walk to his bathroom door but she turned before going in.

"Can you take a shower too?" she teased.

"Are you saying I stink?" He was almost offended!

"No dummy," she giggled, "I'm telling you to come with me." she turned back to put on the shower. Sean gulped and stared. He then sucked in a breath and rolled his eyes at himself. Emma made him feel as if he's never been with a girl before. Jesus.

Emma laughed some more as they were in the shower together, the water running down her naked back with Sean's arms around her waist, keeping her close to him. They kissed as the steam from the water built up. Emma closed her eyes and softly kissed him back, feeling his lips devour hers. It heated up and she whimpered when his hand slowly slid between them and crept up her thighs.

Sean kept tenderly kissing her but her breath got unsteady and then she was gasping as his hand kept up speed. Her hands went to his shoulders to hold on for balance. Water poured over their bodies and with his other hand, Sean ran his fingers through her wet blonde hair and cupped her head, kissing her once more before pulling away and watched her come. She cried out a little and held onto his hard biceps now and shut her eyes.

Sean would make sure she would always feel this good. Not the awful forcefulness Jesse applied on her. She would feel good, and loved-

At the thought of love, Sean stopped. She had finished too and caught her breath before turning and washing her hair. Sean, with almost fear in his eyes now, watched her do that then get out, handing him a towel as well.

When she stepped out and had the towel around her body, he tied his around his waist, slowly coming up and Emma noticed him suddenly so quiet.

"What's wrong?" she asked, and he gazed up from looking at the floor.

He shrugged, "Nothin'." she looked at him strangely. He cleared his throat and opened the door, "I'm gonna change and we can run to your house for you to pack."

Emma nodded, watching him go, but an odd knot formed in her stomach. What was that all about?

(((**)))

"I-" Sean stopped talking, and worriedly glanced over his shoulder. Emma was still in her house as he was waiting outside in her driveway for her now. Her house to about 8 sizes bigger than his old family home (when he did live with his parents).

He was on his phone and told the person on the other end, "She's from a whole different world than me. She's someone I never thought I'd be with. And vise versa. I never thought she'd want to be with a guy like me. You know? What if this doesn't last? Maybe she's in some kind of shock from it all and I'm her 'acting out' phase... "

"Sean, relax." came Jay's reply. Sean seemed fidgety as he glanced back to Emma's door. "I questioned a lot with Manny once upon a time too but you know who I didn't question? When I was with Alex, or any other girl, because I never felt I didn't deserve them. Manny seemed too unreal, too perfect, too good to be true."

Sean nodded, completely feeling that right now.

"But," Jay paused, "That's the best part man. This is your dream girl. You finally have her and even if you don't feel you deserve her, you got her. Are you going to fuck that up?"

"I don't want to, but that seems to be my legacy...fucking up."

Jay laughed then said, "Last Tuesday Emma Nelson didn't even look your way, now she's in your sheets... take it or leave it man."

"Maybe we had sex too soon.."

"Man up, Seanny." Sean rolled his eyes but listened to Jay, "The girl is well aware now on how to say no. Was she saying no?"

"No."

"Were you?"

Sean chuckled, "No." Far from.

It was quiet for a moment before Jay spoke again, even a little softer. "I love Manny. It use to scare me shitless.."

Sean glanced over his shoulder again, his body tensing up. "It's been a week.." he muttered. Thoughts of Emma ran through his head though..how he loved her smile, her blushing, her good and even bad habits and even just her moans.

"The heart knows man."

"Man up, Jay." Sean mocked back then Emma came out. He quickly coughed and turned, "I gotta go. See you later."

"I got everything." Emma said, her little leather prada bag over her shoulder. Sean wanted to smirk, he was dating a girl who had a PRADA backpack.

"Even your taser?" he teased, handing her the other helmet and they got on.

She laughed. "Even my taser."

As he drove them to school, her arms wrapped around his waist tight on the motorbike. He left out the fact he brought his little handy weapon too... but they'd talk about that later. You see, Sean said so, he and Emma came from different worlds. In Sean's world, you needed protection. A gun laid safely in his duffle bag on the back of the bike. Just incase.

((**))

"Who was that?" Manny questioned, coming back into the kitchen where Jay sat, hanging up his phone.

"No one." he laughed. It was fun to watch Sean shaking in his boots over a girl. The guy would come to see, he was falling hard.

Manny yelped when he pulled her down onto his lap and she raised an eyebrow. "Did this someone get you all hot and frisky?"

Jay scoffed in disgust, pulling away when he almost kissed her, "Nasty. It was Sean."

Manny giggled but leaned in, kissing his lips softly before pulling apart and he groaned in disapproval. "You need to call the school, pretend to be Jesse."

She handed him the phone after pressed star 69 to cover the caller ID. He took it and cleared his throat, listening to it ring.

"In acting class, we would do breathing exercises." Manny explained, and showed him how to do it until he clasped a hand over her mouth and somebody picked up.

"Degrassi High. Patricia speaking." the secretary answered.

Jay put on his best charming act, "Patsy. It's me, Jesse." he coughed and cringed as he spoke, "I'm not feeling well today hun. Could be the flu."

"Oh dear! Will you be out a few days?"

Jay raised an eyebrow. Easier than he thought. "Yea. Must of picked it up at school from one of the kids. At least a day or two."

"Call and let me know if you need more days, alright Jess?"

Jay raised his eyebrows. 'Jess?'. Wow. Seems Mr Adams and the secretary might be close.

"Sure thing sweetness." Manny scrunched her nose listening to Jay act out Jesse. Was it weird she was getting jealous?

The secretary giggled a bit softly, "Text me if you want me to come by with soup."

Jay held back his laughter. Manny gave him a look and he silently laughed before replying, "I don't wanna get you sick. Maybe later this week though I'll take you to dinner."

Manny laughed quietly and rolled her eyes. With that, Jay hung up, and she raised an eyebrow. He laughed, setting the phone done and leaned back in his seat.

"We're scott free for two days."

"Really?" Manny teased, "Sounds like you have a date."

Jay snickered and nodded, getting up. "Sounds like Jesse has a thing with the secretary." Manny didn't doubt it but frowned deeply and Jay noticed it. "What?"

She looked up and muttered, "Just his...obsession with Emma. It doesn't make sense when he can have all these women but does...what he does.." she choked up.

"Hey." Jay went to her and looked sternly into her eyes, "He does what he does because he's a sick fuck who needs to be stopped. And we're going to stop him. He probably always got what he wanted and doesn't like the word 'no'. Now it seems he longs to hear it after someone has said it to him. He wants what he can't have, Manny."

Manny nodded, but tears burned her eyes. She was probably the first to tell him no. For once, she was proud of that.

"Can we go lay down?" she pouted slightly and he soothed circles down her back.

"Yea baby."

((**))

When Sean and Emma got to school, they were nervous, squishing through all the students on the way to their lockers. "You think he called in yet?" Emma asked, stopping at hers and Sean leaned on the locker beside hers. He nodded.

"Yea. And I'm sure it's fine." he assured. He glanced at students passing by. These students had no idea what they had done. Who they had tied up in their basement. Then again, they didn't know that same somebody was a monster. They'd know soon though. Hopefully.

Across the hall, Ashley turned to see Ellie not listening to her and looked over her shoulder to see what Ellie was gloomily looking at. She cringed, noticing Sean with Emma Nelson and the two actually seemed to be wrapped up in another and close. It was maybe odd to see the two together, if they were together, but they did look kinda cute. Sean even pulled Emma in close as the bell rang and kissed her before pulling apart for class.

"What a slut." Ellie bittered.

"El, Emma Nelson is not a slut. You know that." Ashley said softly to her best friend and closed her locker, "You gotta move on."

"But me and him, we were so close to being-" she scoffed and shook her head, "Then she walked in and he goes a-wall on me."

"It doesn't matter when she walked in, the fact is that when she does, his eyes are on her. You can't change that. It's like a game. You lost. She won."

"Thanks Ash." snapped Ellie and she turned, storming off and almost smacking into Craig who came over.

Craig watched Ellie go and went to Ashley, "Everything okay?"

Ashley sighed, glancing at Sean and Emma walking to class. "Ellie's mad at.. that." he looked, and nodded.

"Understandable. It's strange. Out of his field. Since when does he even like girls like Emma anyways?"

Ashley looked at Craig strangely. "Why can't he be? She's smart, pretty." She hung out with her little brother. She seemed like a nice girl.

"She's...preppy." Craig said, not knowing what else to say. He was still mad about the other night. How Sean and him will probably never be friends again.

"You don't even know her." snickered Ashley.

"I know that if I had the choice of Ellie or her, I'd go with Ellie." Craig admitted, and stared back in Sean and Emma's direction. He left out the part of how he tried to get with Emma and didn't succeed. Because he was a jerk like that. And Ashley was starting to notice that.

"Well maybe you could ALSO go with Ellie to the dance." Ashley snapped and stormed off.

Craigs head turned, his mouth gaped, "ASH!"

(((**))

"Breath, Em." Sean teased, sitting behind her in class where there was no Jesse to teach. And they were the only ones who knew why.

Emma looked tensely at the door, waiting for him or even cops to walk through it. Her heart was pounding and not in the good way like it was with Sean this morning. It was racing in a bad, scared way. Suddenly she exhaled when a substitute walked in.

"Hello class, I'm Mr Hollingsworth. Mr Adams is absent for the next two days so I'll be your new teacher til then."

Sean even let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.

((**))

"Eat."

Jesse looked up with dark eyes and circles at Jay. Jay threw down a plate in front of him like a dog and it had cold eggs and bacon on it.

Jay then understood when Jesse raised a skeptical eye. Jay huffed and grabbed a piece of bacon, holding it near Jesses mouth. Jesse scowled, but ate it. Jay sneered too.

"We have to find out another way to feed him." Jay told Manny when he came back into his room. He then stopped in his tracks, his mouth falling to the floor.

She was wearing his shirt that looked baggy on her but as he came in, she lifted it off and just sat up on his bed on her knees, naked. Her long brown hair fell around her shoulders.

"Is this you finally...thanking me?" he walked slowly to the end of the bed, and she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"Maybe." she laughed a little, leaning closer and his hands gripped her tiny hourglass waist.

He cupped each breast with his hand as he began squeezing them gently. Manny could feel his breath on her neck as he ran his fingertips across her nipples. She gasped in loudly and leaned against him. She closed her eyes as he started to kiss up the side of her neck, stopping just below her ear. Manny held her breath as his fingers trailed between her breasts and down her stomach.

"You drive me crazy, Santos."
