-Chapter Seventeen-
The doorbell in the Jeremiah-Manning household rang and Angie went running to the door as usual. She opened it and looked up to see, to her dismay, Ashley.
Angie turned and walked away from the door as Craig walked up," Hey Ash," he said giving her a hug," don't mind Angie, she must be tired."
Ashley nodded and walked inside. They sat down on the couch and started doing some of their homework. A few hours later Joey came in, he saw Ashley and was a little disappointed, but he threw forth a smile.
"Hey Ashley, long time no see."
"Yeah Mr. Jeremiah, how have you been?"
"Okay thanks. Craig it's almost nine, you should take Ashley home."
Craig looked up and said okay and he and Ashley headed towards the door. "I'll be back," He said.
At Emma's, she and Manny were trying to help Christie with her math homework.
"Guys, it's no use. I'm never gonna get this done, let's just chill for awhile and tomorrow, I'll tell Mr. Andrews I didn't understand it."
"Thank god tomorrow is Friday," exclaimed Manny," you want to have a girls night tomorrow?"
Christie smiled," You always know Manny. I definitely need one."
The next day at school, things seemed to have died down. Craig started hanging out with Ashley, Ellie, an their friends and he stayed away from Sean and Emma. He didn't have a problem talking to Jimmy and Spinner tho. I wish he knew what really happened, thought Christie, but if there's ever a time to make him see it, I'll know.
"I don't get it," said Emma.
"Get what?" asked Sean.
"You and Craig are supposed to be best friends. How could he do this?"
"Emma, he was supposed to be in love with Christie, how could he not listen to her? He's got clouded judgment right now, he's hurt and he wants his space so we have to acknowledge that."
Emma nodded as Manny and Christie approached them. "Ugh, we just found out we have choir practice tonight, so Manny and I won't be back to our house til about nine."
"Okay, that gives me time to get snacks and movies," said Emma.
"Hey Sean," said Christie.
"Yeah Cris?"
"Thanks, for being here for me. I know Craig is supposed to be your best friend and all."
Sean stopped Christie before she could go any further. "My best friend Craig would never act like this. I'm waiting for him to re enter his body. I know that whatever he thinks is the truth, isn't and he needs time to realize that. Until then he can be stubborn."
Christie gave Sean a hug and she and Manny headed off. Sean turned to Emma and she was smiling at him.
"I'm so lucky Sean."
"How come?"
"I have you."
Sean kissed Emma and grabbed her hand as they started to walk home. Craig watched from a distance as he was waiting for Ashley to get her stuff to go home. He longed to be walking with them again, with Christie holding his hand, but he knew that was impossible.
Emma, Manny, and Christie decided to take a trip down memory lane wand watch a favorite childhood movie.
"Look what I got!" said Emma.
"Oh my gosh, The Babysitter's Club!" exclaimed Manny.
Christie laughed," Awesome. I always loved that movie when I was a kid."
The girls ate chocolate, and popcorn as they watched the movie and by the time it was over they were all extremely ready for bed, even tho it was still early for a sleepover.
"Night girls," yawned Manny.
"Goodnight," said Emma and Christie.
Within five minutes, they were all sound asleep.
