Wow guys! I'm so happy that everyone is enjoying reading the story so far!
I'm planning on getting it to end within a few chapters, unless you all
think that I should try and stretch it some more. I LOVE writing this
story, it is so much my passion right now and I am going to miss writing it
when it is over. I think that it's probably good though since school is
starting in a week and I won't be able to pay as much attention to the
story as I would like. Keep reviewing please! You guys are all so kind with
your reviews and I'd love to talk to some of you, so feel free to IM me on
my AIM screen name LC AnGeL 3445.
-Chapter Nineteen-
Saturday night Emma and Christie were getting ready for the festival, and suddenly Christie began to cry.
"Cris, Cris, what's wrong?" asked Emma.
"I just..I miss Craig so much Em. I like Jimmy and all, but I really want to be with Craig."
Emma nodded," I know hon, we just need to get him to hear the truth."
A few minutes later the doorbell rang, it was Sean and Jimmy. Emma headed downstairs, but before Christie turned off the light in the room, she opened a drawer and pulled out the necklace that said Craig and ring he had given her for Christmas. She placed them in her purse, like she always did, hoping she would soon be able to wear them again. The four of them piled into Jimmy's car and went on their way to the festival.
At Craig's, he was getting ready to go pick up Ashley. This is it, he thought. He was going to attempt to get Christie back. Joey had finally knocked some sense into him, he knew Spinner was lying, and he needed to know what really happened.
"Joey, I'm leaving!" he called.
"Good luck kid," Joey said patting his stepson on the back.
"Can I wear your hat?" Craig asked.
Joey pulled the hat off of the rack and handed it to Craig. Craig said thanks and started towards the door, but before he got there he heard tiny footsteps running through the house.
"Craig wait!" Angela was calling him.
"Yeah Ang? I gotta go, what is it?"
Angela ran up to him holding a pink teddy bear in her arms. "Will you bring Christie home with you tonight? Please Craig?"
Craig nodded," Yep. I'm bringing her home tonight." He kissed her on the cheek and headed out the door to his car.
He arrived at Ashley's house and she was already coming outside. She got in the car and turned to him giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey you," she said.
"Hey Ash, you ready?"
"Yep."
"Okay then, let's hit it."
At the festival Christie, Jimmy, Emma and Sean were walking around looking @ the games and rides, saying hi to people they knew.
"Do you guys want to get something to eat?" Sean asked," I'm starving!" Everyone laughed. "Okay hungry boy, let's go" said Emma.
They all sat down to listen to some music while Sean ate. In the meantime Ashley and Craig arrived at the festival. They came in by the food and the first thing Craig noticed was the table that seated just who he was looking for. She had always been gorgeous, even during her "mourning period" when she had worn nothing to school but pajamas, but tonight she was glowing, just like she was the first time he saw her.
She was wearing a jean mini-dress, with a baby pink tube top underneath that shown through the undone buttons. Her hair was cascading in curls all over, just like that first day @ Degrassi, and she was laughing. Craig hadn't seen her laugh for the longest time. Soon his thoughts were interrupted by a drone from Ashley.
"Craig, whyyyyyy are you wearing that hideous hat? God, didn't anyone tell you that those things are so..." she stopped, noticing that Craig was staring at something. She followed his gaze, and saw Christie.
"Oh I get it," she said," it's for her isn't it?"
Craig looked at Ashley and nodded. "Look Ash, I'm sorry. I'm still in love with her and there's nothing that you can say or do to change that."
Ashley looked hurt. "Well then I guess you should know something."
"Know what," Craig asked.
"It's about Spinner, he, he."
"He WHAT Ash? Tell me."
She couldn't. Not because she didn't think Craig deserved it, but because the man of the hour was headed their way.
