Chapter 6: What is lost can be found

George Waynesfield Advertising Corporation (Craig's Office)

Craig, J.T. & Toby were talking business. Well Toby wanted to talk Emma, but it was strictly business for now. Toby & J.T. had a major project launch coming up. It was for J.T's hair removal cream which he accidentally invented in Gr. 12 advanced science. The launch was going to be in front of 150 people.

"Alright then, to business. We have arranged the menu for the 150, with 23 vegetarians. We have got you the projector you'll need for your slideshow. We've arranged the 3 guest speakers. We've had all the R.S.V.P's and everyone is coming."

"Whoa! Craig! Slow down! I'm trying to take it all in here! It seems you've done a great job! I congratulate you."

"Whatever. Anytime you need business, I'm always here."

"So, you said Emma called Manny." Craig and J.T. shot glances at Toby. They equally believed that was beside the point but there was nothing to talk about.

"Yes, so?"

"Also, she was staying near our place." Craig and J.T. were confused.

"Why are you suddenly talking about this? Do you know something we should know?"

"I know who she's looking for."

"Who?" J.T. & Craig exclaimed at the same time.

"Me"

Nova Scotia

Emma signaled for a taxi outside the hotel. Three had already gone past. It pulled up in front of her and she thanked him instantly. She told the taxi driver the address of J.T & Toby's pad. He drove her there with no hesitation and she got out. She was blown back. What stood in front of her was a beachside mansion with an amazing landscaped garden and a fence that stood tall like it was Fort Knox. There was an amazing monstrous fountain in front of her eyes. She slowly approached the fence and peeked in. She was drawn back when a voice approached her.

"You alright there young lady? Not braking and entering now are we?"

"Excuse me? No! I'm here to see an old friend."

"I'm afraid that is just not possible miss."

"Why, you're surely not going to arrest me are you?"

"No! I'm Mr. Yorke & Mr. Isaacs's gardener. They're on a month holiday at the moment. They also didn't mention any unexpected visitors."

"Oh! I apologize. Well I was going to surprise them and I didn't know they were this rich! I'm Emma Nelson by the way."

"Gerald Potter. Call Me Gerry. Why don't I take you to my office and I'll call you a taxi from there. I think you need a coffee. Did you come far?"

"Oh no, I didn't come far, can I just leave a note though?"

"Sure, I'll go collect my things." Emma searched through her handbag and found a flouro pink notepad. She wrote a simple and heartfelt message to Toby, it was plain and simple and read:

Toby, By now you've probably realized I love you. I have crazy, insane feelings for you, but where are you? I've come to talk things through and you're not here. Toby, please call me or something when you get this, I'm not going to return to Degrassi though. Regardless Mom & the baby. Emma

"What? She's looking for you?"

"Yes. It's a long story. Manny told me."

"Are you sure it's just not what Manny thinks?"

"No! I know for once this is truth. Emma has feelings for me, and I'm not about to deny I have feelings for her either. She's gone to look for me in Nova Scotia. She left before her or Manny even knew we were coming to Degrassi for a month. I don't know if Sean knows either and I'm worried he'll beat me to pulp if he finds out."

"Man, when did you find this out?"

"Just before we came here, this morning. It's finally just sunk in. I can't do anything about it though. All I can say is that at least we know where Emma is. I was thinking..." Craig immediately cut Toby off. He was in shock as well but knew what Toby had to do so he then practically thought aloud:

"Man! You've go to go get her! Manny's worried sick that Emma won't return, and the only way she might is if you go find her, tell her that you love her too."

"But the project launch!"

"Stuff the launch! Craig can fill in for you!" J.T. announced. Craig immediately picked up the phone and arranged flight details. They sent Toby straight off to the airport, called Manny, Jimmy, Ellie, Ashley, Terri, Paige, Hazel, Sean, Spinner, Marco, Bella & Chris explaining the situation, and got Manny to tell Sean the truth. Sean reacted quietly, for he was in shock, but was not mad, for he still believed he could find another girl. Everyone went home and anxiously worried & waited.

The girl's house

"Oh my god! Emma loves Toby, I'm shocked!"

"Oh Hun, get over it! At least she might be happy this time instead of being with Sean. I'm mean if Terri, Hazel & Ellie can not worry about it, then why should we?"

"Because he's my step brother! If they get together, I hope they're happy like Spinner & Bella."

"Don't you dare bring them into it! I can't stand them being together! It makes me sick! They're only together because they work together and work relationships never last!"

"Paige! Calm Down! Don't tell me you're jealous"

"I'm not jealous! Don't dare accuse me of being jealous Ashley Marie Kerwin!" Paige snickered and picked up an ashtray, with Hazel's fresh cigarettes in there. She aimed it at Ashley, but instead it made a nice black dint in the wall, and took some paint off with it. Terri ran in after hearing them fight and broke it up. She calmed them both and told Paige to take a shower or a rest that'd calm her down. Ellie gave Ashley a hug and patted her back, while Hazel picked up all the stray cigarette butts. The girls went there separate ways for the rest of the night.

As Ashley climbed into bed feeling really guilty, a small voice was calling her name. It was Paige. After apologies, Paige told Ashley exactly how she felt. Heartbroken. She explained she hadn't got over Spinner and it hurt when she saw them together being so happy. Spinner & her had gone through & shared so much, but one day he left that all behind to work on the ranch. Ashley explained she'd fine someone else, and one day marriage will come along, followed by a chance to start a family. Paige gasped at Ashley being optimistic, but the girls shared a close hug and Paige left to go to bed.

Marco's restaurant The Rose Garden, the next morning

(The phone is ringing)

"Hello? The Rose Garden. Marco Del Rossi speaking."

"Marco, its Ellie."

"El, hi! Confirming the appointment this morning?"

"Yes Marco. I am. 11:30"

"Ok then, sorry but I've got to get back to work, dishes can't clean themselves. See you at 11:30 El."

"Right then see you later Marco."

11:30

Jimmy and Ellie got out of the car. They stared for about 5 minutes at the beautiful restaurant in front of them. It was a lovely old Mansion with a gorgeous, but quite small garden with a pebble path and rose covered arches. Jimmy leaned over and passionately kissed Ellie. Then, Marco ran out and shocked them:

"Are you going to come inside? You seem to take a while!"

"Marco man! How are you?" Jimmy gave him a handshake.

"I'm good. You & Ellie?"

"Were fine!" Jimmy & Ellie chimed. Ellie gave Marco a peck on the cheek. They went and discussed the menus & Emma, and reminisced about High School. Then, Jimmy asked Marco for the bathroom:

"First left, up the stairs"

"Thanks man!" After Jimmy had left, Ellie & Marco were in an awkward silence. Marco then broke it.

"So everything well for the wedding?"

"Yes."

"Remember, back in high school."

"Marco! Stop it! There is no us I know, but why can't we talk like normal humans?"

"I don't know, I think it's more you then me who won't talk."

"Marco that's not true!" Ellie snickered. Jimmy walked straight in. He was blind to what had been happening. He announced they had to go. Marco guided them outside and shook Jimmy's hand. He was about to just say goodbye to Ellie when she rushed and pecked him on the cheek. She pulled him into a tight hug and whispered "I'm sorry"

Nova Scotia

Toby approached his mansion. He was stopped by his gardener.

"Mr. Isaac's! Young lady was here before, looking for you."

"I know, thanks Gerry." Toby walked away and checked his mail. The only interesting thing was the flouro pink note. He picked it up, read it and gasped.

The End of chapter 6, sorry to leave it there, but I think I just flamed up with writers block or something ciao!
