(A/N: sorry for the long wait! Ok finally time to continue!)
A few minutes passed, and Craig was left by himself, sitting on the couch with his head in his hands. Emma knew this 'Manny/Craig/Ashley Thing' was none of her business, but as usual, she blocked that thought out and decided to go talk to Craig. After all, she had no one else to talk to.
"Hey." she greeted plainly.
Craig looked up and leaned back. "Hey."
An awkward silence occurred, so Emma sat down next to Craig. "Um, I'm sorry about what happened."
"It wasn't your fault." Craig replied with a sigh.
"Yeah, but, I just wanna let you know, I don't think Manny would have done all that if she wasn't..."
Craig was curious now. "What? If she wasn't what?"
"Just..."
"What is it, Em?"
"I think she took some drugs, okay?"
Craig was shocked. "What? That doesn't sound like her."
"Yeah, well, it doesn't matter anyway, 'cause now JT thinks they're mine."
"The drugs?"
"Yes, the drugs. God, I hate getting blamed for crap that wasn't even my fault."
Craig stood up. "Been there already."
Emma knew what he was talking about. And there were a million things more she wanted to say. But she decided to just leave it at that.
Suddenly, a huge bang was heard throughout the house. Most of the kids panicked and ran outside. Emma shot up from the couch and yelled at Craig, "What was that?!"
"It sounds like a gun, get out of here, NOW, Em!"
Panicked, Emma ran outside as fast as she could. Craig followed her.
Emma ran to the back of the house, while most people were in the front yard. She noticed some figures running out back as her eyes widened. It was Jay. But he was quickly out of sight. After him, she saw someone else come out...it was Sean. Emma couldn't believe her eyes. 'What's he doing back here?!' she thought.
Sean accidentally took a quick glance at Emma. Once he saw her looking right back at him from afar, he dashed away. To where, Emma didn't know.
Meanwhile, Manny had just came out of the washroom. She had felt really sick and threw up a few times. "Where is everyone?!" she yelled. Without thinking, she ran outside and bumped into Paige and Spinner. "Ow!" Paige yelled. "I've already got a terrible headache, make it worse, why don't you?!"
Manny felt completely out of it. "I – I'm – I'm sorry, Paige. I –"
"We – are leaving, Spinner. Now!" Paige began to walk toward the car she was driving but tripped over her own feet on the way. Spinner ran over. "Paige, are you okay?"
"Just fine." she managed to say under her breath as she got up.
"Um, hey why don't I drive?"
"No. I think I can drive."
"Paige, I don't think you can –"
"Spinner! I'm driving! Now come on."
As the two began to walk toward the car, Manny watched. As bad as she was feeling, she could tell Paige was worse. And just then, it hit her.
FLASHBACK
"You want a party favor?" Sully said as he pulled something out of his jacket. It was a small bag. It had drugs in it.
Manny couldn't believe what she was seeing. "Sully, what is wrong with you?"
"Geez, chill. This is a decent party." Sully threw the drugs on the table and walked back over to his friends. Manny stared at the bag. Eventually, she slyly took one of the pills out and began to turn and walk back over to the group. But when she saw Emma coming this way, obviously to get a drink, she quickly dropped the drug in one of the already poured drinks and walked past Emma toward JT and Chris.
END OF FLASHBACK
"It – it's all my fault." Manny whispered to herself.
