The Start of a new world and remembering an Old one

I watched everyone stay silent as the little girl's eyes stayed glued on me. Maybe it was a bad idea to put on the dress I thought to myself. As Sean walked over to little girl his Beeper went off.

"Damn....I mean dang I have to go its Craig" Sean said looking at the number then at the little girl whose head shot up

"But daddy you said we were going to the park for the carnival that's in town it has a Circus and everything" The little girl said pleading

"I know but daddy and Uncle Craig have a real important case" Sean said already getting his things together not bothering to note the little girl was extremely disappointed It reminded me of when I was a little girl my dad use to do the same thing to me

Sean gave his daughter a quick kiss good-bye on the cheek and ran out.

I looked around dumb-founded I mean what was I to say. I haven't seen Emma and Jt in about twelve years after that horrible night when Jt and I was still dating.

*Flashback*

It was the End of year graduation Party everyone was there even. Sean was even doing well he had really done a 360 because he was now getting straight B's and maybe a C here and there he was actually doing better than me. Even Paige and the gang who had graduated before us were there. Paige walked in looking great as ever wearing a Blue tank top with an open blue button up shirt over it and a pair of somewhat tight jeans I mean looking sporty never looked so good I really respected Paige. But I really stole the spotlight not that I'm trying to get a big head about it but I did not because of what I was wearing which was a pink denim Mini with a matching pink tank top on covered by a black fishnet. Yes me in Fishnet at first I found it quite gross but then I grew to love it.

Anyway about this horrible...horrible night since I was now left captain of the Spirit Squad I volunteered to greet the entire guest list along side my at the time very very handsome boyfriend of three years James Yorke. We were at the point in our relationship where most including me thought you could leave your best friend in a room with him Drunk and naked and nothing happen but boy did that prove to be not the case.

I chatted with a lot of people for awhile so did Jt but he slowly became bored with the conversation and decided to go sit with Emma who had just recently broken up with Chris and Emma was a wreck so of course I thought it was a good idea.

"So Manny Hun how are you doing with the Spirit Squad" Paige asked me the one thing I was waiting for her to ask me a Chance to gloat but surprisingly I didn't I just simply responded with "The Squad's doing great really great" Great I thought to myself we were doing more than great We had even been to the States and performed in an International Competition and won second place and all I had to say was we're doing great. So how Paige saw right through me and responded with: "Hun when your on a team especially Spirit Squad it's never okay to be modest always be straight forward besides I loved you in the International Competition I have to say at first I was thinking of not giving you the Squad after the whole Grade nine thing but I thought it over and decided to give you a shot I'm glad you haven't disappointed me" Paige said with a slight smirk Which I returned back

Then he walked in lost curly hair now short and Straighten I was surprised yet Impressed Craig Manning had arrived looking better than ever I turned to Jt who looked at me with a bit of Jealously I blew him a kiss and took a quick glance over at Emma who looked like she was having way to much fun I mouthed to Jt to keep an eye on her and he Mouthed back for me to keep an eye on Craig I just smiled and turned around. "He's been to see you Hun so go over there" Paige whispered in my ear pushing me closer and closer towards his back where he was turned talking to Spinner finally I hit his back and I must admit It hurt maybe he had been working out anyway.

He turned around and I didn't look up just said excuse me when he asked: "Manny is that you" I looked as though I didn't know it was him but of course I did he leaned forward giving me a tight hug smiling like he always did Vanilla I giggled to myself he excused himself from Spinner and we began talking for what seemed like forever but only lasted for a couple hours I look back feeling that this moment right here that maybe if when Jt came over to talk to me while I was in deep conversation with Craig I hadn't blown him off that this wouldn't have happened but I did and It did so just listen. Then the conversation shifted from what we were doing now to the old times and after talking about the couple of times we tried dating and trying to talk about the Pregnancy which I tried hard to avoid

He finally gave me a kiss on the cheek and left was I disappointed of course but it was for the best we were digging to deep into the past. After a few minutes Sean came up to me and we began talking he had really changed and I had to get the scope on how and why.

"So Sean I'm sorry but If I'm not being to nosey how did you do this complete 360 and stop hanging out with that Jay loser and started focusing on your school I mean now that you aren't such a bad boy a lot of girls have been asking about you" I said with a slight smirk

"Yeah well the year after my brother left he started doing really well I mean he really his left together he was even getting married to his girlfriend they were living in this huge house he really made a name for himself outside of what everybody thought he could be I mean sure everyone thought he was only good for being a mechanic but he got down to Alberta and showed them that he could do more that and he started his own business. I mean all my life I thought my parents were drunks so I guess we'll grow up to be just like them but my brother showed me that didn't always have to be that I could be whatever I can I know I know sounds cheesy but he was right I got a scholarship to nearby Law school and I guess I going to study law" Sean was a quite different Swagger to him now with a more Confident Swagger instead of that whole I'm failure thing he was sporting I to give a hug I was so proud of him I felt like a stupid mother still I was a proud

"That's so wonderful Sean I'm glad everything's working out for you" I managed to get out finally pulling back

"How are you doing" Sean asked leaning back in the chair

"Oh I'm doing great the Spirit Squad is really good Jt........" Before I could finish Sean cut me off

"No how are YOU doing" He asked again I didn't exactly know how to answer that I've always had things to say about how I was doing along with the Spirit Squad and Jt and Emma but Not just me but It was a question I was about to embark on answering

"Well I have a scholarship to a Fashion School in Vancouver then I'll probably start traveling that's why Jt and I are discussing Marriage" I said smiling from ear to ear

"Wow Marriage that's a huge step are sure"

"Of Course I love him and He loves me" I said totally confident in what I was saying

"Well then I'm happy for you" He said placing his hand on top of mine

"Thanks"

"So um...how's Emma doing" He asked but before I could answer there was a huge thump from upstairs only one thought came into my mind drunk guys messing up my Aunt's new remodeled house so I had better get up there and see them to the door

"Can you excuse me Sean some guys probably gotten them selves wasted and are making a mess upstairs" I said turning and beginning to walk away when he grabbed my arm and said "I'll go with you guys can get pretty rough when they're drunk" I smiled and accepted

As we started the stairs the noise didn't sound like guys horsing around it sounded like something totally different I knew what it sound like but I didn't want to believe that someone would do that in my Aunt's house I mean talk about disrespectful. Sean and I finally reached the steps and there was a huge Crowd by my Aunt's door where I could hear moaning me and Sean exchanged glances being totally disgusted. I decided to go in and kick whoever it was out but never had I suspected when I turned on the lights it would be Jt and Emma my Boy friend and best friend. "Nice looking after Emma Jt looks like you did a little more that look after her" I said already broke down in tears at the sight of seeing them in the Bed together and just think we were discussing marriage I mean seriously discussing Marriage I ran downstairs in tears running past everyone with Sean fast on my heels I ran to the back on the house to be away from everybody also to get my anger out Sean slowly came over towards me grabbing me at first I scratched and punched him but he just grabbed my hands and stopped me letting me cry on his shoulder.

"Is there anything I can do" Sean asked

"Yes but it's against the law" I replied and just laughed causing me to laugh a little to but still full of anger

"Just get everyone out okay Paige Spinner and the rest of the gang can stay if they want but everyone else Including Jt and Emma have to go please can you just get rid of everyone" I asked looking up at him

"Just wait here a sec" Sean said running in the house and bringing out his car keys and his jacket and giving it to me

"Take this my car is right there just sit inside of it" He said placing a warm hand on my shoulder

I agreed being though if I had saw Emma and Jt walk past me I might have just snapped and flung on them. So I sat there in the car watching everyone walk out of the house then finally Emma and Jt came they looked in the car I could feel the looking in though I didn't look back for awhile I could still feel them looking when I finally did turn around I saw Jt looking at back at me I glared giving him one of my hardest glares. Sean quickly came back out with the house finally cleared and opened the car door.

"Maybe you should talk to him get his side of the story it seems like you guys really love each maybe you can work it at" Sean said trying to be helpful but it wasn't working

"Work it out Sean I hate him I hate her what do you mean maybe we can work it out we can never work it out thanks for your help but I can never forgive and forget" I said but it was strange I had done the same to Ashley with Craig it's really strange how you hear people say what goes around comes around but you never believe them until it actually happened after that I left moving to the States where everything went downhill from that I did get my Fashion Business degree (Don't really know if there's a such thing) but I couldn't get any work so I became a waitress yes me Manny Santos became a waitress I think the night Jt and Emma betrayed me they didn't just rip my beating heart out of my chest they ripped out my dreams, my hopes everything

*End of Flashback*

While I was so caught up in my horrible ,horrible it seems that little Miss Cameron had locked herself in her room and started Crying and Emma and Jt were trying to make her feel better but failing.

"What's going on?" I asked knowing but wanting the whole story

"Well Sean's been busy with the whole Rape Trail Case Craig and him have been working on so he's been working days, nights, afternoons anytime in the day basically and Bianca was really looking forward to going to the Carnival" Jt said explaining to me

"Stephanie Sean's wife always use to take her but as you may have or may not she passed away two years and it's really been hard for Bianca to accept this was suppose to be the first step for him and Bianca to go on but once again Sean is too busy he brought us along to help out but we might not have anything to help out with if she doesn't come out the room" Emma explained

"How old is she" I asked

"Six" Emma said she look younger than she really I thought to myself

"Oh I see let me give it a try" I said walking around them as though if I was to touch I might get a disease or something I guess you can say I'm still a little bitter

"Um... Bianca sweetie this is Manny the lady in daddy's shower and in the white dress how about I take you to the park and Carnival" I said in my sweet innocent voice

"No you're not my mother so don't try an act like it" She shouted back

"This girl really has a mouth on her" I thought to myself

"Honey I'm not trying to be your mother I mean my mother passed away four years ago and my dad got remarried and I know when I first saw him dating I was just as mad as you were maybe angrier but I dealt with it and she was really a sweet lady and I'm not even interested in your dad I'm just a friend I promise nothing more nothing less" I said through the door

She didn't respond I took that as a bad sign maybe she was ignoring me entirely. But then the door knob turned and the little girl came out wiping her tears away.

"So you're not going to replace my mom" She asked

"I couldn't if I wanted to" I said smiling up to here

"That's right you can't" Bianca said quickly sending my eyebrow up but of course with a smirk on my face this little girl sure was something

"Thanks" Bianca said holding my hand

"Wait I can't go like this I'm kind of over dress don't you think I look like Marilyn Monroe" I said smiling

"My mommy use to sing Marilyn Monroe do you sing" Bianca asked I was known to be quite a singer back in High school but I just shook my head No

"Well maybe you could wear her old jeans and t-shirt and sneakers because you can't play dance boogie in those" She said pointing to my heels

"Okay" I said with a smile and turning to Emma and Jt and for a second forgetting our bad history and smiling though I was still filled with hatred and anger towards them I for a second went into a new world a better world I knew this was just the beginning
