Since Emma's parents were STILL gone following the next day, Jay slept over and drove her to school, stopping by Sean's car when he sat it parked and Manny sitting on Seans hood, Sean beside her, leaning on it and reading lastnight's homework; the book Summer's Way.
Emma got out and Jay leaned over his out, peaking out the passanger window before leaving, "I'm late, so I'll see you later." he informed and she nodded, waving goodbye and watching him go.
Manny leaned back comfortably on Sean's car, and raised an eyebrow at Emma, "Fun night?"
"Yea." Emma said and asked them, "Where'd you guys go?"
Sean looked up from reading, giving her a 'We know what you did' look, before looking back down, and a confused Emma looked to Manny who tried to hide her smirk.
Oh god..they didn't..
"You usually scream that loud Em? I mean, how good is he, really?" Manny asked, not shy to ask and Emma went red as a tomatoe
Manny squeeled when Sean grabbed her thigh from where he stood and she thrashed around on his car front, giggling and jumped up and off.
She couldn't talk anyways.. her and Sean got a little naughty too.
"See you in class." Manny whispered to Sean, kissing his cheek and started walking away with Emma as he stayed and read his book.
Emma smirked over to her, "So you two are happy again."
Manny's turned to blush as she nodded then giggled, giving Emma a real sorry look, "We kinda had sex in your pool after you guys left."
Emma ew'd, shivering in disgust, then frowned.. she then sighed, nothing she could do about it now.. "Well, guess I kinda ditched you guys to do the same."
"Did you ever." teased Manny as Darcy ran over to them from down the hall, "Hey Darc."
She looked antsy, and in panic, and Emma gave a wierd look, "you okay?"
"I gave my virginity up last night." Darcy said with a horror struck face.
Emma blinked and her mouth dropped, Manny's too. What happened to Darcy's Bible way of waiting?
"guess it wasn't just us who got lucky lastnight.." joked Manny, but no one laughed, she gave a nervous laugh.
"I told Lana stupidly, and she told the whole club and they kicked me out, and took my promise ring to God away from me." Darcy now cried, sitting at their lunch table as J.T and Toby sat there too now, staring and..drooling, as she talked about having sex with someone.
"Guys, go." hissed Emma, shooing them away.
"Darcy." Manny declared, "The main thing is you got us, and you have Spinner back."
"About that.." Darcy drifted, frowning deeply and looking at Manny, "Peters REALLY mad Manny, she beware of him."
"What else could he do?" Manny asked, rolling her eyes, "I already know what scum he is."
Darcy smiled softly and nodded getting up, "Thanks again girls, I'm going to go find Spinner." with that, she was gone, and Manny turned to Emma who looked a little worried.
"What?" Manny asked her.
Emma feared the worst, "Manny... does Sean know about..the tape?"
Manny's body went numb, and she slowly shook her head no... he didn't. Maybe Peter did have something on her, but as long as she kept Sean away from Peter's site, Peter wouldn't know she didn't Sean to see it.
Emma walked through an empty hallway, classes were in session and she was on her way to the bathroom to stop in her tracks as someone turned the corner and in her way.
Peter himself.
He looked a wreck, and then looked mad when he saw her, but reminded himself it was Manny he was mad at.
"Peter.." Emma said, trying to swallow her hate down and greeted him, trying to walk around her.
He caught up and began walking with her, "Where's your little friend Manny?" he asked bitterly.
Emma sighed, "What's this about?" she acted clueless.
"Bitch thinks she can just make Darcy do anything she wants by a snap of her fingers." Peter said madly, upset over the break up.
Emma stopped and rolled her eyes but tried to see it his way, "I get you're upset, and you liked Darcy a lot, but she WANTED Spinner back Peter... you were a rebound."
He stared upsetly at her, then sadly, looking down and shaking his head, "Just wanted the perfect girl you know?"
Emma softened.. she was sure that was true. Some day, some smart girl would slap the Jerk out of him and he won't see it coming.
"I had you, and I fucked that up." Peter said, looking even sadder about losing her then he did now about Darcy.
"Peter I was never yours." Emma admitted, "Not really.. I fell for Jay since I was 14." she snickered, amazed that it's been that long, she was 17 now.
He angered but just nodded, and walked off.
He had to think of a way to get Manny back..he did such a good job on ruining her life with that scandal tape.. but now she was too smart for that. Was she dating anyone? What'd she care about most that he could take away her and see how it felt?
He stopped in his tracks, seeing the one and only outside the Degrassi school, sitting on the steps with that guy from his second period, who everyone got so excited about when he came back to Degrassi.
Did they have a thing?
He looked closer, seeing Manny lean her head on Sean's shoulder, and his arm wrapped around her wait.
Peter smirked. He got it.. if he was 'gone' last year, he probably missed out on the tape last year when Peter broadcasted it. Well, Sean was about to see what his little new girl friend was capable of.
As he walked off, he didn't notice Emma snuck back around the corner, and saw him watching Manny with Sean, and she feared the worst.
Emma chased after, "Peter!"
Peter turned, before going to his class, "Yeah?" he asked.
Emma took a deep breath, swallowing hard and tried to muster out the begging she was about to do, "Please just leave MAnny alone, she's been through enough."
"Yet not enough to start a war with me." Peter taunted.
"You started it, Peter!" Emma snapped.
Peter's eyes flashed in madness, "You know, Emma." he tried to calm down, simply explaining, "That night I got her to show me her tits.. was the same night me and you hooked up."
Emma scoffed in disgust, "I already know this, you aren't hurting anyone here." she taunted, raising her eyebrows in a 'HA!' manner.
He smirked, crossing his arms, "You should know? I'm a director baby...and the movie never stops rolling."
Emma's mouth slowly shut, staring at him in disbelif and searched his face for a bluff. None. Her heart stopped and her blood went cold, it sent shivers up her spine.
Peter had a sex tape, of them?
"You're lying." Emma choked out.
He shook his head no, "I usually do it when I'm in my room with a girl, you're the best movie so far though Em." he practically purred and ran his hand down her arm.
She smacked it away, fighting back tears, "You are lying, or you would played it when I dumped you, or yelled at you infront of everybody."
"When you dumped me for that loser." Peter called Jay, "I thought you'd be running back to me in no time once he messed up, but you didn't.. but I also found Darcy so I stuck with that.. I also got you back pretty bad when your little boyfriend found out you weren't a virgin." he smirked.
Emma couldn't believe what she was hearing, and she bet a million bucks if Jay was here, Peter would not DARE call him little, and would be shaking in his boots.
Emma's skin crawled, "What do I have to do to get that back? Do you want money? Do you want me to try and bring back Darcy to you?"
"nah.." Peter said, looking bored then entertained, "Besides, she was just my replacement of you anyways."
Emma snickered, wondering if she knew where he was going with this, "I wouldn't ever date you again, if that's what you are thinking." she sneered.
He snickered, "Don't be full of yourself." he looked her up and down, "How about just one night? And I get to fuck you again?"
Emma felt disgusted, even with herself, for ever being with this creep, "Go to hell!" she turned and gasped when he grabbed her back.
"Things are said in a heated moment babe." he winked and said, "Think about it, come back to me tomorrow." with that, he walked off.
Emma lost her breath, and she swore she was having a panic attack as she leaned on a locker, and it banged by how hard she fell back on it, trying to catch her breath. He had a sex tape of her, that could ruin so many things...repuation, college, respect.. Jay.
She had to call Jay right now.
No.
No, not yet. He could be bluffing, a-and he said she had time to think. Oh GOD no, she couldn't never have sex with him. Emma slid down to the ground, going into shock and put her head into her hands..what was she going to do?
Near the end of the day, last was with Manny and Sean, and they both noticed Emma a little too quiet..and distracted.
"And now for the afternoon announcements." said Liberty Van Zandt, appearing on their classroom T.v
Emma slowly glanced behind her, at PEter in the back, and he was watching the news too until he caught her look and just smirked at her, and winked. Emma turned back, sick to her stomach and tried to focus on the news.
Manny and Sean were whispering to another, not paying attention, til something caught Sean's eye on tv.
"Manny." Emma said, eyes widening and sitting up straight.
"Is that you?" Sean asked Manny, nodding to the tv and tilting his head. Since when did she do announcements? And when was her hair only to her shoulders..
Manny whipped her head toward the T.v, standing up so fast in fear and horror, PEter was broadcasting her sex tape on the SCHOOLS annoncements.. .right now, right with Sean next to her.
She whipped around and looked at him, look of such hatred and hurt and he gave her a cold glare.
"AND I'M GONNA BE FAMOUS!" the old her yelled on the tape, lifting her top as the guys around the room laughed, and clapped. Some had already seen it, and were already standing up and clapping. The girls were all giving her judgemental stares, and the video get replaying over and over, "I'M GONNA BE FAMOUS!"
And Sean, Sean's face was so confused, a little hurt, and seemed dissapointed, watching and Manny saw his head look her way but couldn't face her, and looked down as she snapped, and whirled back around to Peter, charging over where he sat.
"MANNY!" yelled Mrs Kwan, covering the t.v with her coat and then ran over, but too late, Peter had stood up from his chair, thinking Manny was coming over to yell at him but she slapped him right across his face and his head spun to the right.
"Manny!" Emma yelled, trying to stop her and got up, running over.
Peter rubbed his face and turned back to Manny who was so mad she shook, he wrecked her reputation, her life, almost her friendship with Emma, and now definitely her relationship with Sean.
Suddenly someone grabbed around her waist, pulling her off of Peter when she lunged at him again, but the person who held her was strong, and tossed her easily back with Emma.
Sean.
And he turned back to Peter who was a bit confused, until his collar was grabbed, and Sean's fist flew into his face.
Knocked, out.
The class stared down in shock at the kid who just got punched out and knocked out, now sleeping on the ground.
Manny caught her breath, flipping her hair back with her hand and was a bit confused Sean helped her knock Peter out. She was even more confused when he grabbed her hand tightly and tugged her out of class, storming out.
They sat in his car, and she bit her lip, looking over to him. He still looked mad, glaring at the steering wheel and not speaking.
"Sean II'm sorry." her voice cracked, tears beginning to fall.
Sean looked over and he softened, and his jaw dropped, watching how hurt she was as tears poured.
"It was an old tape, and I was drunk." she snickered bitterly, "I was almost always drunk." she tried to explain, "After you left.. I.." she shook her head, closing her mouth and not being able to explain it.
She didn't have to, Sean understood completely and leaned in, grabbing the back of her head and pulled her to him, kissing her deeply and then tenderly.
He pulled away, forehead to forehead, "Manny I'm crazy about you. Me and you both have done some crazy stuff.. you forgive me, I forgive you..and we work through it."
Manny let another tear drop, but because she was so happy. My had he grown up into a man, her man!
"I'm not mad at you, I want to kill that kid." Sean said through clenched teeth and tried to relax, "Sure Im a little dissapointed people have seen what's mine.." he drifted off playfully but she still found that sad, and he lifted her chin, "But that doesn't make me love you less or not want to be with you, I think I will always want that."
She leaned in, flying her arms around him and kissed him hard, "I love you." she panted against his kiss and kissed again.
