A Painful Gift

2- One to Prevent
The next day in school Emma couldn't help but stare at the memorial that was built for Terri when she died. Suddenly Emma snapped out of her daze.
"Hello! Emma? You there?" Manny said while waving a hand in front her friends face.
Manny continued, "Emma, this is our senior year we should be enjoying ourselves and I have never seen you so...weird. Anything wrong?"
All she could do was nod.
"Ok good because Sean is throwing a party tonight and we're going, right?"
Once again Emma just nodded.
Manny quickly caught on.
"Oh yea. I forgot to tell you. I'm having sex with your father."
Emma nodded.
"Emma! Your not listening. I know something's wrong. Just tell me." Manny's face suddenly full of concern.
Emma looked at Manny for the first time, "Manny. Nothing is wrong. Ok. I just had a bad night."
Manny looked into her eyes. They were empty, her face showing no emotion. Manny knew she wasn't ready to talk so she backed off.
"Well I'm gonna be late for class. We'll talk later and remember we're going to Sean's tonight." Manny walked away leaving Emma alone in front of her class room door.
Emma looked at the door to her Calculus class and then the exit. By the time the bell rang she had already made her decision and was in her car on the way home.
She needed to get away from Degrassi, from her home, everything. So she went to her spot. The one place she could clear her head. The beach.
She sat on the sand just staring off into the open water. When it hit her. She flew onto her back, her hands in fist full of sand. She closed her eyes and screamed.
She could see a room that looked very familiar there were people everywhere and loud music. And she saw Manny. She was staggering around and moving very unsteadily when she fell back and her head smacked into the glass coffee table. Suddenly there was screaming and she saw Sean run over to Manny. For the first time she looked around the room completely. And she realized where she was: Sean's living room.
She opened her eyes and sat up. The back of her head felt like it was on fire. But she knew where she was, she was back on the beach. She said to herself in a low voice, "that's never happened to Manny. I would know." Then she realized, "This is one to prevent."
She got into her car and started to drive. She had to get back.
