Manny's POV:
I didn't say anything to them, so I just shrugged. Jay and Sean looked worried, as I couldn't believe what she said about my distant best friend. I told her awhile back that if she didn't stop starving herself that she would die. "Manny, what did she say?" Sean asked, standing in front of me with Jay next to him. I shook my head and looked away from him. "Manny, tell us what the doctor said." Ellie said, worried. "This doesn't concern you." I said, glaring at her. "What is your problem? Is this about Craig." She asked, as I continued glaring at her. "No. My problem with you doesn't matter at the moment." I said, as I continued glaring at her.

We sat in the waiting room for awhile. Sean was sitting next to me with Jay on my right side: Ellie left after our confrontation to get some food. Liberty, JT and Toby looked worried as they continued standing. I was worried and by the look on Alex's face, she was too as she looked down the hallway every few seconds. Soon the doctors came in the waiting room and looked a little worried.

Alex's POV:
I was worried because Emma means a lot to Jay and means everything to Cameron. Everyone else looked worried as well. Emma's parents went to get something to eat, while her little brother was at their grandma's house for the night. I could tell that her mom was trying not to cry as Simpson put his arm around her trying not to panic. Jay and Cameron were probably worried the most-other than her parents-because the latter obviously still loves her and the former just started dating Emma. She makes him happy.

Cameron was sitting next to Emma's ex best friend and Jay was on the other side of her. I could tell that they are both tired, but I also knew that the boy's wouldn't leave without finding out if Emma's okay. Ellie looked worried as well, but I think it's because of the fact that if anything happened to Cause Girl, Sean would leave town forever and would never look back. I didn't like their relationship that much because she always pushed him to talk about the shooting when he never wanted to. I don't blame him because it was so tragic. Jimmy got shot, Cause Girl could have lost her life if Sean hadn't protected her, leading to him getting injured trying to fight Rick for the gun. Emma would never push him to talk about it and she would give him some space, while Ellie was the complete opposite. That's why I liked his relationship with Degrassi's Golden Girl.

Soon, the doctor came back in the waiting room. I was waiting to hear something since I kept on looking down the hallway every few seconds. "There's some good news and bad news." Sean, Jay and Manny stood up as she said that. "I'm assuming you want the bad news first." Sean and Jay both nodded, worry in both of their eyes. I realized something when I saw the light in his eyes: He's fallen for Cause Girl. Even though I knew it, I knew he would never admit it, especially since his girlfriend's first love was standing next to him. I could see how much both boys love her due to them being worried about her and how fast they both realized that something was wrong right after Emma's mom called me at the Dot.

"Emma's heart stopped for a few minutes." She paused as Sean immediately walked out of the room, towards the double doors that led outside. Ellie looked at him and then turned back to the doctor. Emma's mom immediately started crying while Simpson tried to hold it back, but couldn't as they held on to each other. "What's the good news?" Jay asked as his voice cracked, still worried, but hopeful due to the good news at the same time. "The good news is that we were able to revive her, but she needs to stay overnight for more testing." Jay crossed his arms and looked expressionless even though his eyes still showed worry and love. "We think the cause," I laughed a little at that as Jay cracked a small smiled and everyone else looked at us. "Sorry." I said, half apologetic and half not.

"is due to her being stressed out and tired." The doctor said, "She's also back to being anorexic, which is why she's staying overnight."

"Is she going to be alright?" Jay asked, worried. "She will be fine when she wakes up." I saw Ellie walk out of the hospital in the same direction Sean went. I rolled my eyes at her behavior. Sean needs his space, but he needs Emma more than anything right now. She's going to go off on her in 3, 2, 1. We all heard Sean yelling at her to leave him alone. Soon, we all heard a car door slam shut and someone driving off. It was probably Ellie in tears. "When will she wake up?" Sean asked, as we all looked at him by the door. His hair was a mess, his eyes worried and terrified about losing her and he looked like he could fall over any minute.

"If she doesn't wake up by tomorrow, then we will have to keep her here a little longer." The doctor said, as I saw Cameron getting angry. Jay held him back. "Do you know why she's doing this?" The doctor shook her head. "I don't. My best guess is it's probably because she's way too stressed out right now, but you'll have to ask her." She said, apologetically. "Tell your little red head friend to give Emma some space when she gets out of the hospital." I shook my head. "Trust me: She is NO friend of mine." I said, my voice filled with anger. She nodded, apologetically. "Sorry, but the bottom lime is to try and be there for her the best you can without overwhelming her. I know that you two," She looked at Sean and Jay, "are worried about her the most as her friends, but it won't do her any good if she's asked a lot of questions at once. Just give her time to get through this before asking her why she may be doing this."

We all nodded and left the hospital to go back to my apartment. Sean relaxed a little bit, but was still worried, just like the rest of us. Sean, Jay and I went back to my apartment to try and calm down after this. I could tell that every one was still on edge. "How do we know she's actually doing this?" Sean asked, worried as he sat down and Jay got a beer from the fridge before sitting on the couch next to me. "We don't know for a fact, but we can ask her about it after she gets out of the hospital." Jay asked as Sean looked more upset then he was at the hospital. "I can't believe she died on us for a few minutes." Sean said, sobbing.

Emma's POV:
I couldn't see anything at first, until the darkness turned to the Degrassi hallway where I could have gotten shot. I looked around me and saw Rick in the same spot he was the last time I saw him. "Rick, what the hell are you doing here?" I asked, confused. "Aren't you dead? Why am I here and why are you standing in front of me? Where is everyone else?" I asked, as he walked toward me and stopped when I asked him the last question. We were now a foot apart. "Well, Emma. It's just you and I here because it's the way it has to be. Everyone else ran out of the school, but I don't care about that. As for me being dead," he said, laughing a little. "well, let's just say when you're asleep, anything can happen and sometimes, dreams or nightmares can become a reality."

His eyes were the same as always. Cold and emotionless as they were the day I last saw him. "What does that mean?" He shook his head, as I crossed my arms. "Nothing. You'll find out soon enough. Trust me, Emma."

"Ok. that still doesn't explain what you're doing here." I stated as he looked at me for a few moments. "I did. It's the way it has to be Emma." He said, as I felt a sharp pain shoot through me. I yelled, trying to run to him, but Rick held me back as I looked down at the bullet that hit me before I looked back at Rick worried. I fell, still crying before Rick caught me. "Rick! Why did you do that?!" I yelled at him, trying to get out of his hold. "Emma, stop fighting me on this." He said, but I didn't listen to him. I still tried fighting him, even though I was loosing blood. Rick pushed me against the locker and I looked at him, while I felt the blood continue to surround me on the floor by my feet. His eyes softened a little bit, before his eyes went cold once again.

Soon, a figure appeared behind Rick, but I couldn't see who it was. Two other figures were on the other side of him and I couldn't see their faces either. "Emma, I'm sorry." One of them said, as I realized that the figure sounded like it was a male. Rick was glaring at me. I could feel myself start to slip away. "How could you?" Sean asked as I looked at him. He looked pissed, but I didn't know why. I fell to the floor and was about to close my eyes when the same figure that apologized to me, spoke again. "Emma, please forgive me." I don't know why, but I felt stronger and felt the blood coming back into my body. Sean still looked mad, but he looked more hurt than anything as he said, "Please, come back to me." I felt more stronger than I was awhile ago. I fought Rick and soon, he was the one who ended up on the floor with his blood surrounding him. He closed his eyes as I glared at him, breathing heavily.

Hey, everyone. I forgot that Simpson wasn't the principal during season 6, but let's just pretend that he is. I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that Principal scene after Emma's fight with Ellie. My bad. I'm sorry about that. Let's just pretend that Peter's mom left her position as principal or something. I don't know. The point is, Simpson is Principal-because I want to leave that scene there after Ellie and Emma's fight-and I don't want to rewrite it, so Simpson is the Principal AND MI teacher.
