Emma ran up her front steps. She was so excited! She had to call Manny and tell her everything! Emma ran up to her room, grabbed the phone, and flopped on her bed. "Manny!" She said happily, "Oh it feels like I haven't talked to you in days!" "Hi, EM. What are you so happy about?" "Come over and I'll tell you!" "Okay...be right there." "Great!" Emma said, hanging up the phone. Things were a lot better now. She was accepting the loss of the baby, her and Sean were in love, and she had totally forgotten about her leukemia. About five minutes later there was a knock on the door. Emma ran down and swung the door open. "Manny!" She said. But it wasn't Manny; it was Tracker. "Oh, no sorry. EM, do you know where Sean is?" Oh my god, Emma thought, no one told Tracker. "Um...yeah...come in. Please sit down. Do you want something to drink?" Emma offered, trying to put off the subject. "No, thanks. EM, where is Sean?" Emma let out a huge sigh. "No one called you?" "No. Emma you're really starting to scare me. Where's my little brother?" "Tracker...he's..." She was cut off by the doorbell. 'Sorry. I'll be right back." Emma ran to the door and let Manny in.

"Hey." Emma said, "Could you go upstairs for a few minutes?" "Yeah, sure." Manny said, looking past Emma, at Tracker. Manny ran up to Emma's room and closed the door. "Sorry about that." Emma said, joining Tracker in the living room. "No problem. EM, where's Sean?" "He's...he's in the hospital." Emma said hurriedly. "What!" Tracker said, jumping to his feet. "Tracker calm down! He crashed his motorcycle." "Wait was it his motorcycle or one of mine?" Tracker asked. "Um...his I think." "Oh god. The brakes were lose, he was supposed to fix them! Thanks EM, I got to go see him." Tracker said, walking to the door. "Yeah, no problem."

As soon as he left, Emma ran to her room to join Manny. "What was that about?" Manny asked as Emma entered. "He didn't know where Sean was." Emma replied. "Serious? That's weird." "Yeah, I know." "Yeah so how are you doing? I've been really worried. But I thought that I probably shouldn't call." "I'm better. I mean, Sean's alive and we're back together!" Emma exclaimed. "Really? Oh, EM that's awesome!" "Not only that...I told him I love him and he said it back." Emma waited excitedly for Manny's reaction. "Love?" Manny said. "Yeah! Real love! I've never felt so light-hearted." "EM, are you serious? That's kind of sudden isn't it?" "You don't have to act to happy for me Manny!" Emma said sarcastically, "I know it's sudden. I think that I have been in love with him for a while now but never realized it! It took his near death experience to bring it all out. You get what I'm saying? Like, almost losing him and thinking that I was going to lose him made me realize how much I would miss him." "Yeah, I get what you mean. EM, I'm so jealous of you and Sean. After Craig, I feel like I'm never going to find another guy who likes me." "Don't worry! We're only in grade eight! There's plenty of time to find someone!" "Yeah, I guess so." Manny said. "And who says that Craig doesn't like you?" "Well, last time he said I was acting too young." "He did?" Emma said, surprised. "Well, act more mature! I mean, he liked you before, he might still. Feelings like that don't just disappear." "Yeah I guess so." Manny said, "but enough about me! I'm dying to hear more about you and Sean. Tell me everything." "Okay! Manny calm down!" Emma gave Manny a very detailed account of what happened with her and Sean. "Oh, EM that's so romantic!" Manny said once Emma had finished. "Well, it could have been a more romantic setting..." Manny said. "I don't think so." Emma said, dazed. "It was perfect. It reminds me of something out of a movie." "You're so lucky EM." Manny said, a hint of jealousy in her tone. Emma caught on this. "Manny don't worry! Craig was just one guy! There are plenty that would be dying to go out with you!" "I don't know about that. I mean, I'm not really..." Emma cut her off, knowing what she was about to say, "Manny you're gorgeous! Say that you're not and I'm going to have to slap you!" Manny and Emma both laughed. "Thanks EM. I appreciate it." "Hey, what are best friends for?"

"Do you want to do something?" Manny asked. "Like what?" "I was thinking about going to see Sean possibly?" Manny said, smiling. A grin lit up on Emma's face. "Manny we don't have to go. We can do something else." "No it's alright EM. I haven't gotten to see him. Lets go buy some flowers though first okay?" "Okay." Emma said happily.
