I don't own Degrassi

Authors note: This is the last chapter of Shameless. I'm going to be finishing Not Myself by tomorrow-hopefully. Then both of these stories are going to have sequels. If you have any title ideas for either sequel, please let me know, I'd like to have titles!

Chapter 12-She says.

She was leaving in two days. Craig knew without even looking at his calendar. She was leaving in two days and he hadn't seen her for three weeks and he was going crazy, slowly. The good news, according to Joey, was that as of today he was ungrounded.

Someone knocked on his door. "Come in?"

It was Marco. "We're going for a walk, to the movies or something. I cleared it with Joey." Craig nodded and went with Marco, in the car he knew was Ellie's

"you borrow this?"

"Sort of, Ellie is where we're going."

"The mall?" Marco just shook his head. Craig just looked out the window until he slowly realized what area they were in. "Wait, we're near..."

Marco smiled at him. "Exactly."

They headed to the familiar building and up the stairs. Coralie opened her door on the first knock, and Craig walked in. The apartment was full of boxes. She was really leaving.

"Hi."

"Hi." Coralie gave him a hug. "I missed you."

"I missed you too.."

They headed into her room to talk, and Ellie and Marco flipped on the tv.

"You're leaving?"

"Do I really have a choice Craig? Joey will...I can't stay here, you know that."

"Were you really married?" Craig didn't know what made him say that.

"Yes, I was. When I was 18. It didn't even last a year. I was young and stupid."

"I'm not stupid."

"I know you aren't. Craig, listen, I meant what I said to Joey that night-I couldn't be able to stay away from you if I was here. but you're only 16, and its best if we aren't involved. So I'm leaving."

Craig just nodded. "You're leaving because..."

"I want you around. I'm leaving because I could fall in love with you eventually, and that's not a good idea." She was upset, Craig could tell. "I'm doing this for us, Craig."

"Coralie, you're scared aren't you?"

She nodded, then spoke. "I"m scared of leaving. But I know I can't stay. Craig, just say good-bye to me and leave."

"As you wish, Coralie, as you wish." He kissed her then, long and hard. "Good-bye."

Ellie, Marco and him left then, and as they pulled away Craig could see Coralie in the window, waving him away, tears in her eyes.
