Chapter 5 Thanks once again for the reviews
We woke up to find Ash standing at the door, obviously debating on whether to leave and pretend nothing happened or wake us up.
"Am I interrupting something," she asked with her back towards us.
"No," I replied and crawled over Craig to get out of the bed, "I just decided to stay the night here so I didn't have to deal with my mom and Ms. Sauve. I look over at Craig who is still trying to get his balance and he smiles shyly and somehow he understood that I didn't want Ash to know anything yet.
"Ok Whatever," Ash said "I just came to apologize about not coming back yesterday, Paige isn't taking her and Spinner's break up very well," something caught her eye, "there's my cell phone I couldn't find it. Well I have got to go I promised to spend the day with Paige, well bye." Ash walked out the door after a few quick hugs.
"Bye," Craig and I yelled after her but knew she didn't hear us. I glanced up at the clock it was 12:30.
"So are you going to stay here tonight," Craig said obviously hoping I would.
"Do you think it is okay with Joey."
"Hold on and let me call," he picked up the phone and walked out of the room. A few minutes later and Craig comes back in the room. "Joey said you could stay as long as it was okay with your mom." Not a problem I thought, my mom will never even notice I am gone little lone care.
"Okay we can go by my house later and pick up some of my stuff but right now I have to head over to The Dot to find out if I got the job." We walked out of the house even though it was summer it was still a little cold to Craig. "Do you want to go get your jacket first" "No I'm ok"
Sometimes he can be so sweet (a/n the whole Ash, Manny, Craig thing never happened, Ash and Craig just broke up ok. We hurry off to The Dot. When we finally get there I walk straight back to the manager's office and begin to talk about the job, he finally informs me that they needed someone to fill the spot quickly and someone came in with job references so he gave the job to her.
I walked out of his office to find Craig sitting at a table next to his friend, Emma, who doesn't really like me nobody really knows why. Last year I wouldn't have felt threatened but Emma had changed well let's just say Emma began to show her age and everyone at Degrassi seemed to notice, even those who didn't go to Degrassi like her new boyfriend, Dean. I walked up to Craig and asks if he was ready to go and just as Craig got up Dean walked through the door to right of us, sat down next to Emma and very playfully began to kiss her. "I think this is where we leave." I said pulling Craig towards the door.
Just as we stepped outside we felt the rain that had just began to fall. "I guess we should go back to my house and wait for the rain to quit since it's a long walk to your house." "Okay sure!" I said very enthusiastically, I wasn't exactly in a hurry to go to my house anyway.
By the time we got to Craig's house we were soaked. Once again I looked like a drowned rat. This look I was starting to get use to. Craig offered me some of his clothes so I wouldn't have to go out in clothes that felt like the color was bleeding out, oh god, there's that word. I haven't thought about cutting in forever what am I going to do. Just as I thought about it I realized Craig was looking at the scars on my arms.
"Ellie, what happened," Craig said giving me the look I was completely sick of, you know oh you poor dear, you're so screwed up.
"Don't look at me like that, I'm gonna go get some stuff from my house it would be better if you stayed here. I will be back in about an hour bye," I said running out the door.
