Emma stood infront of the door. Her mascara was running, she wasnt used to wearing makeup. She cautiously knocked on the door, she was playing with her un-natural black hair, twirling it in her fingers. Sean opened the door surprised to see emma. He was still sad for what he did to her.

"Em..." He whispered

"I just came to apologize"

"For what?"

"You don't deserve to be yelled at"

"Yes i do!"

'No I am sorry, we should just put this all behind us"

"No Em! Your Right. I broke your heart, after being selfish and acted like nothing happened. Worst of all... i hurt you physically also. I Made you change and... look at this" He pulled up her sleeve slowly. He touched the scars gentally.

"I thought if i changed who i was, i would change the feeling i have and make them different. Maybe-" He interuppted.

"Em when i saw you, you changed into a different person, i missed the old em."

'Yeah now you know how i felt. I Missed the boy that i knew when we sat at our disasterous first date. The one who hated meat, just like me. He went through the garbage for me for no reason, and didnt care that i was an idiot. Not the boy who steals, not the one that ditched me for jerks, the one that ditched me to become someone different" He listened to what she had to say. He looked into her eyes as she told him what she felt.

"I dont hang out with them anymore... jay, yeah they are jerks"

"The boy i knew was mine, not ellies. You didnt want me. You wanted someone else. If you stopped haning out with Jay then what stoped you from coming back to me?"

"I was with jay when i was with ellie too"

"So i wasnt good enough for you" She started to tear.

"No, that wasnt it, i wanted you em, but i couldnt leave ellie for something im not even sure if you wanted."

They were still standing in the doorway, sean wanted to get off the topic.

"Emma come in... your mascaras running."

"I know i look so stupid"

"No, you look beautiful" he walked up to the kitchen sink to get a wet paper towel as she sat down in his couch, the tv was on. He took the paper towel and wiped her mascara gentally as he cupped her face in the other hand. She touched his face. It felt real, something she hasnt felt in a while. She saw her sean again. Sean looked into her eyes and emma smiled, a real smile. He has missed that so much he forgot how great it felt to see her really smile. Not pull off one of those fake smiles she manage to sneak in at times. She leaned in closer. He did to, they began to kiss. Emma pulled away.

"I cant let you do this to ellie." he had a dissapointment look on his face 'oh yeah ellie' he thought

"I cant be the other girl, i cant be the girl you used to cheat on your girlfriend with, ya know? Sean, you have to pick one of us, me or her, i wont be mad at you if you pick her, you have to decide whats in your heart... and i can't decide that for you. If you do pick her, we can be friends..." She added 'Ugh friends, it seems so... blah' she thought

Sean leaned in to kiss her he pecked her and smiled. She smiled back they started to kiss again.

It was the next day at school. Emma dyed her hair back to what was close to her natural color. Emma was wearing regualr jeans and a t-shirt she didnt mind showing the scars anymore. Sean had to break it off with Ellie. He was planning to do it after school at the dot.

"So you sure you dont want to be with her" Emma was making sure

"Eh, this is going to be so hard. Im telling her at the dot after school"

"You really dont have to do this, if you really love her"

"No, its best do it now"

They both smiled and walked into MI for homeroom.

"This is Liberty Van Zandt, with an announcement. 10 and 11th graders will be holding a fund raiser to earn money for their field trip. The more money we make, the better the trip! The fundraiser will be a bake sale, please all 10 and 11th graders bring food! It will be this saturday... 3 days from now. Have a great day Degrassi!"

"Ok students, bakesale, lets make it a great one! i hear if you raise over 3k... which is alot remember... you can have a 7 day trip." Mr Simpson said

"3k how is that going to pay for 10 and 11th graders?" Emma asked

"Well not all students parents will let them go, but majority so... the school will pay for the rest i guess, its what Radditch has been saying, its a great deal"

Sean was waiting for ellie at the dot. He was extremely nervous. It was only for the best.

"Sean?" Ellie surprised him. He looked behind him.

"Whats wrong?" she asked.

"Uh El."

"Sean... i think we should break up"

"What? Thats why i asked you here."

"I mean you and Emma... i will hate her... but it seems too right. i know the way you look at her"

"Are you sure your ok with this?"

"Yeah, me and em wont be on great terms... i mean she did take my man. but i just want you to be happy, i know we werent as strong as you and emma were"

"Ellie, you know i love you right"

"Yeah, of course i do, i love you too sean, this is for the best" At this point she as sitting down holding his hand with both of hers. Sean was surprised she was thinking of breaking up also. She got up and kissed his cheek and walked away.

"bye el..." he whispered.

The phone rang in the nelsons residence.

Emma picked up

'hello?"

"Hey em"

"Hey sean, how did it go?"

"Good, she was very understanding"

he explained what happened

"Break ups are hard sean, its hard not to be sad, do you want me to come over?"

"Yeah that would be great"

She got to the door and knocked on it. Sean opened the door and let her in.

"Hey babe"

"You sure your ok sean? you did love her right?"

"Yeah i did. Its ok i got you!" He smiled and began to kiss her. 'he truly was happy'

she kissed back. he led onto her back and started kissing her neck. She pulled off his wifebeater and he put his wrapped his hands on her bare stomach.

"wait sean. your not over ellie... and i dont want this to be the rebound"

"Your right Emma, id be just using you... im sorry"

"No dont be"

He stood back on his knees. and sat down on the corner of the couch. Emma sat next to him with her arms around him and her head on his topless chest and he wrapped his arms around her.

"I love you emma."

"I love you too sean"
