Chapter 11 Do a Little Dance
Manny and J.T. were out on there dance floor dancing away and seemed like they never were going to stop. They seemed so happy and Manny was unaware of Craig watching her. He was watching her all night. He was kept hearing the words that Marco told him earlier circling in the head. He was thinking about telling Ashley but that would be insane. He has already told her many times before that he didn't like Manny and said it was her with the crush. He couldn't take the risk of telling her now that he was lying. Ashley would never trust him again. Was it even possible that Manny would take him back? She has moved on and Craig has tried but can't manage to get over her. What was it about her that he liked so much? I t was just about everything but he was a jerk and let her go. Then J.T. left her on the dance floor alone. He must've went to go get something to drink or gone to the restroom. Here was Craig's chance to talk to Manny even if it was just a few minutes. Then a slow song was playing and Craig walked into the crowd of people and found Manny.
Craig: Hey Manny do you want to dance with me?
Manny: Yeah but what would J.T. think if he saw me dancing with you? I better not.
Craig: Please! I mean it's just one dance as friends.
Manny: Fine but just one dance.
Craig: That's all I ask. You won't regret it. (Emma was up on stage with Chris just watching him do his thing and then saw Manny and Craig together.)
Manny: So you seemed really quiet in the car earlier. Is everything okay with you and Ashley?
Craig: Yeah but lately I've been thinking about somebody else a lot. (He said meeting eyes with Manny.)
Manny: Oh really! Have you told Ashley about this new girl?
Craig: No, but I was thinking about it. But I don't know if this girl would take me back. She has a boyfriend but I could be a better boyfriend.
Manny: Is that girl me, Craig? I thought you have forgotten about me.
Craig: I tried. I tried forgetting and tried to move on but you are the girl for me.
Manny: Yeah well if that was true you would've chosen me in the beginning. I knew you didn't want to just be just friends.
Craig: We belong together. I was wrong for hurting you and I'm so sorry.
Manny: I can't believe you would think I would buy that. A while back I might have taken you back but you were right I have a boyfriend who's better than you.
Craig: You aren't that serious! (J.T. came out of the restroom and saw Craig and Manny dancing together.) I think I love you. That has to mean something.
Manny: I thought I loved you too but well I don't know anymore. Why couldn't you just leave me alone? I admit I have some feelings for you but. . . (Then Craig leaned over and kissed her. She didn't stop him until she realized what she was doing.)
Manny: Craig this isn't right. We aren't right. We're no t supposed to be a couple. I got to go now.
Craig: Wait Manny.
Manny: I'm done with waiting. (Then she walked away and left Craig standing there confused. Spinner and Marco saw the whole thing along with J.T. he couldn't believe what he just saw. Manny saw him but he walked into the hallway so she ran after him.)
J.T.: What do you want?
Manny: Are you mad at me? You ran away from me. That's what I get for wearing heals.
J.T.: This is no time to be joking around.
Manny: What's up J.T.? Did I do something?
J.T.: Don't play dumb and don't make me seem like I'm dumb. I'm not blind. I saw you and Craig. I saw you kiss. Was I some part of your plan to make Craig jealous?
Manny: No way he kissed me. I really like you. Craig and me were over a while ago. I mean I would never hurt you like that.
J.T.: Oh yeah when he kissed you well that's how you see it, you didn't back away. I left just for a few minutes but that was just too long.
Manny: I'm sorry if that's ho you saw but he means nothing to me. I told him about us. I said I chose you.
J.T.: That's not good enough. Manny I really liked you. I mean I thought I was really lucky but now I'm just hurt. I can't trust you anymore. I think we should just call it quits.
Manny: You can't do this to me, J.T.
J.T.: I'm not speaking to you anymore. (Then J.T. walked away out of her life. She absolutely hated Craig and he was what caused this. It's his entire fault. Emma noticed Manny crying and told Chris she was going to check up on Manny.)
Emma: I saw you and Craig. What's going on?
Manny: Everything's going completely wrong. J.T. broke up with me and it's Craig's fault. I have nobody.
Emma: Manny don't blame everything on Craig because you let some of this happen to yourself. I mean you we're the one that got involved with Craig in the first place. You told me it was you from the start and I thought it was over but now I know I guessed wrong.
Manny: You are supposed to be my friend. I don't know how I let this happen. I mean Craig and me got together one night, which lead to a big mistake. I was on the rebound but that doesn't make it right. I just broke up with Sully and Craig got in a fight with Ashley so I thought they were over. You know it takes two people to kiss so he is to blame too.
Emma: You mean you too well you know? That's completely wrong and cruel. This whole new you is causing you to make horrible choices. I thought you were smarter than this.
Manny: I said I made a mistake. He made me think he loved me, which he says he does now, but I said it was too late. That one day that he told Ashley that he loved her in front of me. It hurt so much. He looked at me and basically just lied to the both of us.
Emma: I really don't think we can be friends anymore. Sorry for what happened and all but I really shouldn't be friends with somebody like you.
Manny: And exactly what kind of person am I?
Emma: Don't ask me. Just go look in the mirror.
Manny felt very alone and she was. She lost her best friend for good and no longer had a boyfriend. Craig wanted her back but surprisingly she didn't want him back. He would only remind her of what she lost which was everything Manny didn't feel like going home right away so she decided to just stick around so when she went home she didn't need to explain to her mother why was home so early. Emma was a little upset at Manny and felt bad for J.T. but she didn't want it to hold her back from having a good time.
Chris: Hey Marcus want to take over while I go dance with Emma?
Marcus: You don't have to ask me twice. Go have a good time with your girlfriend.
Chris: She's not my girlfriend. . .yet! (He found Emma.)
Chris: Emma would you dance with me?
Emma: Like totally. I mean sure. (Chris laughed some more and Emma smiled kind of embarrassed.)
Chris: Um there's something I've been wanting to ask you.
Emma: Yeah well I've had something on my mind that I wanted to ask you but you can go first.
Chris: Well tonight wasn't really exactly a proper date and maybe we could go on a real date just the two of us say tomorrow.
Emma: You take the words out of my mouth. That's what I was going to ask you. That sounds great. Pick me up at my house at 7:00 if that's okay with you.
Chris: Perfect! Hey where's Manny and J.T.?
Emma: I could really care less where Manny is. We're not friends any more. I can't believe we ever were.
Chris: Oh really. Emma: Yeah really. She made some stupid mistakes including breaking J.T.'s heart.
Chris: Oh well that's sad and all but let's not let it ruin our night. We can just dance the night away.
Emma: Show me what you got Chris.
Then they danced and danced some more and were having so much fun. Manny hated see them having fun. She was even jealous and mad at Emma and mad at herself. Where was Craig? Did he leave? That's what she wondered but why did she care?
Okay I think there will only be one more chapter or more depends on what I feel like doing. There are more surprises to come. Where are Sean and his crew? Are they going to show up? Are they not going to show up? Somebody else might find out about Manny and Craig but you'll have to wait to read. Review and Read pretty please.
