Sean drove through the night, the sun was coming up when he finally reached his apartment. He sat in his car and listened to some random song he'd never heard but it helped him think.

I keep tellin myself this is the right thing to do
I was wastin her time, waitin on dreams that just weren't comin true
And this old highway seems to understand
Leadin me on to somewhere that no one knows my name
I got the window rolled down, I got the radio up
I'm doin all that I can to get my mind off us

What I need to do is turn this car around
Drive as fast as I can til I see the lights of our hometown
And run to her, take her in my arms
Make her see how sorry I am, well that shouldn't be so hard
But I drive on, and on, and on…

Sean thought about driving back but quickly knocked that idea out of the running of ideas. He finally got out of the car and into his apartment. He sat down on the couch and held his head in his hands. "I'm a Fucking idiot!" he said out loud to no one. Frustrated he leaned back and almost immediately fell asleep, after all he'd been awake all night.

When Emma woke up in the morning the light from the skylight burned her swollen eyes. She felt someone else in the bed she rolled over hoping to find Sean, maybe he changed his mind. Paige felt Emma stir and woke up to meet her.

"Hey Em, how ya feeling" Paige asked in a caring voice.

Emma somewhat disappointed that it wasn't Sean was also happy to see that her friend made sure she would be ok.

"Not so good, Sean and I got in a huge fight last night" Emma said rubbing her head. Visions of the night before came flooding back to her and a new set of tears were now forming.

"Don't worry I know, I told him to leave last night, he's gone you'll never have to deal with him again." Paige sympathized.

"I know Paige, but what if I want to deal with him. I love him Paige. I don't want to all he does is hurt me, but I can't stop. I can't stop" Emma began crying again.

"It's ok, it's ok. We'll figure it out. It'll be ok hun." Paige tried her best at comforting Emma, she stayed with her until Emma drifted back to sleep. Paige left the bedroom to begin picking up the cabin. It was still early and everyone was asleep but she wanted to get Emma out of here.

She found the letter Sean wrote to Emma and almost instinctively threw it in the trash, but she instead placed it on Emma's bag for her to find later. By the time everyone had woken up all that was left to do is get in the cars and leave. Paige had hooked up the boat and everything.

"Damn Paige in a hurry?" Craig asked sleepy eyed and Paige threw his shoes at him to pack.

"I just think it's time to leave, that's all"

Ashley came downstairs bag in hand. "Hey sorry I passed out so early, anything good happen while I was dead guys?"

"Oh man you missed the funniest thing…" Spinner was stopped by a death glare from Paige.

"Yeah it was quite a night, I'll fill you in later." Paige replied.

"Hey where's Sean and Emma at speaking of last night?" Spinner rudely commented.

"Sean is gone and im about to go wake Emma up. Guys load up the cars we'll stop to eat on our way back"

Paige entered the bedroom where Emma was half awake. "Hey hun it's time to get up, we're gonna head out in like twenty minutes, and Emma… Sean left you a letter. I put in on your bag. We'll be waiting outside k."

Emma was getting out of bed her eyes locked on the letter. "Ok I'll be out in a minute"

She got changed and brushed her teeth, she decided to scrub it and just chill in sweats and a tank top. She packed her things and made the bed, almost bursting into tears at the thought of went on it that bed just hours before.

She left the room bag in one hand, letter in the other. She had purposefully freshened up as to not look like hell had just ran over her twice. She walked out and acted normal. "Alright let's head out."

With that they locked up the cabin and finished throwing their stuff in the cars. Ashley and Spinner got into Craig's car leaving Emma and Paige left for Paige's car.

"Follow Us?" Craig asked as he drove up beside Paige.

"Yeah go for it" Paige watched Craig pull out and followed right behind.

They drove in silence for about half an hour before Paige spoke up.

"So did you read the letter?"

Emma looked down, she was clutching it like it was something she never wanted to lose.

"I don't know if I'm going to."

"Emma, why not? Maybe he had something to say that's actually worth listening to for once." Paige had meant what she said to Sean the night before about him being a coward and to stay away from her, but if it mean Emma had to be in this much pain she wanted them together. After all if Emma loved someone she had to see a good man in their somewhere.

"What could he possibly say, 'I'm Sorry' like he's said a hundred times before. I don't wanna hear it. I love him Paige, I LOVED him. I mean I…I…slept with him. I can't even begin to explain how much this hurts me Paige, I want to just kill him but no matter what he does I can't get over him I HATE IT!"

Paige didn't know what to say to comfort her, she was all out of advice, and even if she did have advice her luck with guys wasn't so hot either.

"Emma, I know it sucks. I heard your guys' argument last night I wanted to kill him for you. And as much as I hate to admit I know he loves you, I wish I could stand by what I told him last night I can't. You guys belong together. Just read the letter, it'll help I promise."

Emma looked at Paige, then to the letter and then out the window. She opened the letter up and glanced down then back up. Paige watched her willing her to just read it. Emma finally got the courage to read the first couple words.

Emma, I know there is nothing I could ever do or say to let you forgive me for what I did last night….

She looked back out the window and wiped a tear out from under her eye.

I want you to know that I wouldn't trade what we shared for anything in this world. I love you Emma I mean that with all of my heart. I wish there was a way to do this without hurting you but i've realized that it's impossible, and it breaks my heart. I can't be with you. I don't deserve you, you and I both know this. Things like last night would just keep happening and you did nothing wrong. Paige was right I am a coward, I can't even imagine how happy we could be because I'm too scared of hurting you. I'll never be able to make you as happy as I want you to be. I wish that I could actually explain this in some way that made sense. I'll understand if you never forgive me, but know that I will always be there for you whether you know it or not. I Love You Emma Nelson.

Love, Sean

Emma resisted crumpling up the letter.

"Paige. Take me to Seans"

Paige sped up and passed Craig. They were on their way.
