/N- ok here it goes, I have this idea rolling around in my head, its starts off kinda weird but I have it all planned out so bear with me. Ok so here's the deal, you review and not only will I post more, I'll review your story(ies) if u have 'em. Ok so in my little world everyone is in eleventh and twelfth grade, Sean and Emma are sort of back together again and Manny and Craig made up. Also, the episode where Emma meets her dad never happened, he walked out on them when she was really young; the line that involves this was my inspiration for the whole story.

Emma and Sean are sitting on a park bench engages in a serious conversation.
"Em, I don't think I can do this anymore," Sean said putting his head in his hands.
"Do what?" Emma asked, putting her hand on his shoulder.
He looked into her eyes, "This, I can't hurt you anymore."
"Why do you think you're hurting me?" Emma asked, holding back tears.

"Em, everything I do falls apart, just look at all the shit I've gotten into. I don't deserve you. You have the perfect life, I don't fit in there."
Emma stared at him in disbelief and told him angrily, "My life, perfect? Yeah right. How perfect are things when my step-dad who happens to be my teacher has cancer, my mom barely notices me anymore, all I do is take of my little brother, and my best friend is to busy with her boyfriend to spend time together. Still think that's perfect?!"
Sean put his arm around her and reminded her, "You still have your parents."
"Yeah that's a joke, my mom's to busy for me, Snake's sick, and in case you forgot, I NEVER MET MY DAD." Emma buried her head in her hands, sobbing.
"If your dad walked out on you guys he was never worth it. Trust me, I know my parents and look where it got me."
They both sat there in silence until Emma burst out laughing.
"What?"
"Look at us Sean, we're sitting here feeling sorry for ourselves, and trying to see who's life is worse."
"Pretty stupid isn't it?"
"Yeah I mean things are rough but we can beat it. It's just us against the world."
Sean smiled and wrapped his arms around her, "You promise?"
"Promise."
