Ch.2
The date with Jt was over and Manny opened the door to a house of chaos. It was 10 o'clock and her little brothers and sisters were still awake and running around. She walked over and picked up her 2-month-old baby Alex, "Hey there, how are you?" She cradled her little baby back and forth while walking upstairs to his crib.
Manny put a little blue blanket over the baby's' body and then she sat in a seat next to the crib. "Hush, little baby, don't say a word.
Mama's gonna buy you a mockingbird
And if that mockingbird won't sing,
Mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring."
Before the song was over, Alex was all ready sleeping. Manny stood up and gave a baby a kiss on the cheek, "Sleep tight little one." The Manny walked down to her room and fell asleep in thoughts of Jt.
¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?
It was the next day and Ashley awoke rubbing her eyes and a large yawn. She walked downstairs and saw Manny sitting at the table, "What are you doing here?""I came here to answer your question, the one you asked me yesterday."
"Oh, yea. Right."
Manny stood up and walked over to Ashley, "Well first, I don't know if he was happy. But then again, it was free sex, so I don't know." Manny let out a little laugh.
Ashley looked down at the floor, "So how's the baby?"
"He's great. Maybe some time, if you want to, you can come by and meet him."
Ashley looked up at Manny with a smile, "I'd like that. Thanks. Well we'd better be going to school now."
When Ashley and Manny arrived at school, they sat at their familiar bench outside under a tree, "So Manny, do you know what's up with Craig and his new love?"
"Umm, well I saw him yesterday at the movies with her. Her name is Jordan."
"So how are you and Craig? What does he think about the baby?"
"We don't hang out much anymore. And, I'd hate to say it, but he hasn't seen the baby, I mean, Alex is the spinning image of Craig."
"So should we team up and makes Craig life a living Hell?"
"I don't know. I still have feelings for him. It hurts me to see him with another girl."
¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?
Manny walked into Simpson's class with Emma running quickly up to her, "so what's this I hear about you and Jt?"
"Well we only went on one date. Nothing more."
"Then why are you coming in late? And where is Jt?"
They both turned around to see Jt with extremely messy hair, "Never wretle a bull dog!". Manny turned and faced Emma, "this morning I was with Ashley talking."
Jt pushed Emma out of the way to get to Manny; "I had a really fun time last night." The whole class started laughing at his remark. "So, maybe we can do it again tonight?"
Manny looked around, "No Jt. I don't think so. I'm busy." She walked away and took her seat at one of the end computers away from everyone and put her head in her hands.
¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?
Jimmy tapped Ashley on the back, "So, are you free tonight? I am doubling with a friend."Ashley turned around, "I thought you were with Hazel, ask her to go with you."
"Man, that has been over for a month now. So how about it? It'll be just like old times. You and me."
"Well... Fine whatever."
-Lunchtime-
While Manny was looking for table to sit at, she saw people covering their mouths and whispering to the person beside them. She knew they were snickering about her. She quickly dumped her uneaten food in the trash and walked outside and sat down on the front steps crying.
Followed by Jt, he sat down next to her and put his arm around her, "Manny, what's wrong?"
"Jt why do you like me?"
"Because you're nice and beautiful and I really care for you."
Manny moved his arm from off her, "Then why is it that before I changed my look, you never acted like this. You never tried so hard to get my attention. I mean, all the time, I wish I had never done this and just stayed... cute and not hot."
Jt wiped her tears away, "Yeah, you changing your look was a big part of me liking you. But now I actually know you, and I like you."
"Even though I have a baby?"
Jt gave her a comforting hug, "Of course. And i really want to see your baby"
¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?
-At the Dot Grill-
Ashley sat beside Jimmy with her arms crossed and a little mad, "So where is this friend of yours and his date, they're like 30 minutes late."
Jimmy looked around, "They'll be here, don't worry."
"I'm not going to wait around. See-ya later Jimmy." Ashley stood up and bumped into Craig, "Craig, hey."
Craig looked at her surprised, "Where are you going? I thought you were joining us."
Ashley looked at Jimmy then back at Craig, "So you and..."
"Jimmy are doubling, yea."
Ashley's mouth dropped open. Now frustrated she turned to Jimmy, "Why did you bring me here? You know that I don't want to see him with that girl."
"Ash, calm down. It's not like that."
"I don't want to be just sitting in front of Craig when he and Jordan are swapping spit. This date is over." Ashley grabs her bag and walks out.
¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?
"Manuela, this house is a mess, do you mind helping out a bit?!" Manny's mom yells as the doorbell rings. Manny's mom opens the door, "Can I help you?""Yes, I'm hoping to see Manny." Ashley says with a welcoming smile.
"Yea, you and every guy at the school. Sure come in."
Manny walks to Ashley, "Ash, why are you here?"
"I was hoping to see your baby."
"Oh. Right. Sure, follow me." Ashley followed Manny upstairs and into a cozy small room with teddy bear wallpaper. Ashley immediately went to the crib and picked up the baby.
"Manny, he is adorable."
"Yea, I spend a lot of my time here thinking. Just once, I want Craig to realize the responsibilities he put on me. I mean, he's this baby's father. And what hurts me the most is that he acts as though I don't exist. Just a year ago, we were spending every waking hour with each other. It feels like yesterday."
"Manny, don't let your life revolve around him. Trust me Craig is not worth it."
Manny gave Ashley a hug, "I didn't ever think that you and me would ever speak to each other again."
Ashley looked down at the baby, "Wow, he really does look like Craig. Well I'm gonna go now."
Ashley gives Alex a kiss on his forehead and waves goodbye to Manny.
When she gets outside she sees Craig walking back and forth on Manny's porch, "What are you doing here?"
Craig stopped pacing, "better question, what are you doing here at Manny's house?"
"None of your business."
"Whatever. So why did you just ditch Jimmy? You, he has a thing for you again."
Ashley rolled her eyes and bumped shoulders with him as she walked off.
¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?
Craig, who is now sitting downstairs in the living room of Manny's house, stands up as Manny walks down the steps. "Craig, what are you doing here, I mean, I wasn't expecting you... to ever to come here again.""I know, that's what I thought. But Jt talked to me..."
"You talked to Jt? About what?"
"Jt talked to me and made me realize how much I'm hurting you, so here I am. So can I see the baby or is there a restraining order on me?"
"Sure, and by the way, if you ever came to talk to me, you'd know that's HIS name is Alex."
Manny picked up Alex and gave him a big squeeze then handed him over to Craig.
"Manny, he's cute."
"I know."
Craig put Alex back in the crib and gave Manny a hug, "Sorry that I haven't been there for you." Craig started to kiss her, but she pushed him away.
"You shouldn't, we shouldn't be doing this."
"But Manny I..."
Manny started to raise her voice, "You love me Craig? Is that what you were going to say?" Manny dropped to the ground with her head in her hands crying.
Craig knelt down in front of her, "Come to my place, it'll be like old time."
"Go to your place?" Manny stood up and pointed at Alex, "This is what happens when I go to your place." Manny pushed Craig into the wall, "Never speak to me agin, I hate you!"
Craig looked at Alex who was staring straight at him, "Um, Manny, maybe I should go."
Manny's mother came running into the room, "Manuela, what with all the yelling?" They both watched as Craig stormed out of the room with out a word. Manny ran and gave her mom a hug.
¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?
Before Ashley went home, she made one last stop at Ellie's house.
Ashley walked into Ellie's room, by no surprise, Ellie and Sean were making out, "Hey El, I guess you're feeling better."
Ellie jumped of her bed and gave Ashley a hug with a big smile on her face, "Ash, I'm so glad to see you. I'm glad you came. So tell me, what's new in your life, it feels as though we haven't talked in forever."
Dear Diary,
I'm so glad Ellie is doing well. She'll be at school tomorrow. A strange thing happened, I saw Craig at Manny's porch, and his eyes looked as though he had been crying for days. And I'm not even going to mention the date with Jimmy. What was he thinking when he tried to go on a double date with Craig. I think I'm going insane; Craig is everywhere I go and all he thinks about. When I'm not near him I want him, but I when I am near him, I completely despise him. Strange or what?
¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?
The next day, Manny came running up to Ashley, "I have something I need to say.""Ok, what is it?"
"Well first of all, last night Craig finally saw the baby, but then he kissed..."
"He kissed you?!"
"Yea. I mean, for the longest time I felt as though what was missing in me was him. But now, I just want to get away from here, get away from him and make a new start some where else."
"Manny, what are you trying to say?"
"Well I asked my mom and she said okay."
"Okay to what exactly?" Ashley said starting to get worried.
"Well, I'll be leaving Degrassi tomorrow, today is my last day."
"What about Jt?"
