Title: My Happy Ending (Not the end of the story... yet)


"So, you two hugged?" JT sat looking at Emma and Manny, "What's that mean?"

"It means they're back together..." Manny smiled as she clapped her hands twice.

"No it doesn't." Emma interrupted.

Manny had a straight face, "Ok? So what does it mean then?" She moved in her seat, "The whole moments ruined, Em, thanks."

JT laughed, "So none of us know's what it means. Am I the only one who doesn't care?"

Emma gave him an annoyed face, "Then leave JT."

"Fine... Maybe Toby will appreciate my friendship." He said jokingly and walked off.

"So what does it mean Em?" Manny leaned in.

"I don't know... it was weird... I mean I already made a fool of myself by getting all mad at him for bailing out on me at the dance... it was embarrassing, Manny." Emma said.

"But he hugged you..., that's gotta mean something... something big." Manny smiled again, "Awwe, its so cute, Sean and Emma back together... again and again."

They sat quietly.

"Its just... I want to be with him... but I cant forget how he broke up with me..." Emma said as she looked away.

Manny didn't know what to say, but she got up because Sean was coming. They both saw, so Emma understood why Manny was leaving.

"Emma." Sean stayed standing. Emma looked around for a second and then stood up. They started walking together.

"What's going on?" She asked.

"About yesterday..." Sean started but then stopped.

Emma assumed she knew what he was going to say and attempted to finish his sentence, "Oh it was a mistake.. yea I get it... whatever--"

He looked at her confused, "No, that's not it... I was gonna say that it felt right."

She quickly looked at him.

"I know I'm probably the worst person for you... but I don't know..." He wasn't sure exactly what he wanted to say. He wanted to tell her that he wanted to be with her, but he wasn't sure if he wanted to completely NOT be friends with Jay and Amy and them anymore.

"Ok..." She waited for him to finish.

"I can be here for you if you want me to." He said.

Emma smiled, "I want that...but--"

Sean cut in, "the guys are still going to be my friends..."

Emma thought about what she was going to say next quickly, "But they don't even like me..."

Sean saw the sincerity in her voice, "Well..." He thought, "If they don't like you, then they wont like me...."

Sean realized that he would lose his friends, but he also knew that he he wanted Emma more than his friends.

He nodded, "Yea..."

She smiled.

------------------------------------

"Do you know where Ash is?" Craig walked over to Paige and Spinner.

"Dude, get over it..." Spinner said.

"What?" Craig stood looking around.

Paige hit Spinner, "Tell him."

"Ow." Spinner looked at his arm.

"Tell me what?" Craig really wanted to know.

Spinner took Craig aside, "Ashley." He paused for a while, "And Jimmy..." then he stopped.

Craig stopped walking with Spinner, "Ashley and Jimmy what?"

"Haven't you seen them?" Spinner wasn't making any sense to Craig.

"Ew, what? Are they sleeping together?" Craig was disgusted.

"DUDE! NO!" Spinner hit his head, "They're going out now... since yesterday." Spinner said, "But anyways, you have a dirty mind... I think you need to clean it."

Craig nodded his head, "Wait, so they're back together?"

Spinner nodded.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Craig laughed.

"I kid you not..." Spinner said.

"Yeah, you have to be." Craig didn't believe.

"No.... They are."

"No, they're not."

"Uh, yeah. Craig..."

"Spin, no they're not."

This went on for a little longer.

"Why don't you believe me?! Its over Craig, no second chance for you!" Spinner yelled. Just then a group of girls walked by and looked at them suspiciously.

Spinner smiled at them, "Not me and him... he has girl problems..." The girls looked at each other and walked away.

"Oh they definitely think your gay now..." Craig laughed.

"I have a girlfriend!" Spinner tried to yell at the girls who walked by.

"Wait, so they really are?" Craig went quiet.

"Yea, man." Spinner watched as Craig sat down, "Its not that bad."

"Yea?" Craig looked up at Spinner who was standing, "I really thought I had another shot... I mean, she's worth it... its Ashley. She's perfect."

"I don't think dancing with Miss Santos at the dance told Ash that you were worth it." Spinner laughed, "Worth a dime maybe..." he laughed again.

"She's mine though." Craig thought outloud.

"Didn't she choose you over Jimmy that one time?" Spinner asked.

"Yeah." Craig was still motionless.

"I guess its karma... first it was you... then you blew it... now she's back with him... well that or one of those happy endings in Jimmy's case..." Spinner said.

Craig gave Spinner a look.

"Think I can get her back?" Craig was annoyed.

"No." Spinner said examining what Craig just said, "I wouldn't even try..."

"Its worth a shot." Craig got up and walked away.

Classes went on and as soon as the last bell rang Craig rushed out of his class to meet up with Ashley before she walked home.

"Aye, I'll see you later, gotta work in the lab with the guys..." Jimmy kissed Ashley on the cheek.

"Call me later." She said as he walked away with Marco.

Ashley went outside and once she reached the last step to the sidewalk she was stopped.

"Ashley." It was Craig.

Ash looked at him confused, "Craig? Shouldn't you be at practice or whatever?"

"What are you doing with Jimmy?" He chuckled, "You don't belong with him."

Her face changed, "What? You cant say who I do and don't belong with..."

"Then tell yourself." He answered back.

"I chose you Craig... look where it got me? All cried out and angry... I guess I cant even trust my own instinct..." She said staring him straight in the eye.

"That's harsh." He replied

"It's the truth... We both thought we belonged with each other. What now?" She was angry and tried to walk off, but he kept intercepting in front of her.

"I get it... I mean nothing to you." Craig said.

"Great, the guilt trip. Nice growing up Craig..." Ashley said.

Jimmy was about to exit the school to catch up with Ashley really quick but was stopped by Hazel.

"Where you going?" She asked.

"Looking for Ash... know where she is?" Jimmy asked trying to avoid her because he knew she wasn't ok with the whole situation.

Hazel smiled, "Of course I do..." She pointed down at the bottom where Craig and Ashley were. He saw how close they were standing to each other.

"They look kind of friendly..." Hazel said acting like something was going on, "Isn't that cute?" Just then Jimmy turned to her swiftly.

She added, "Oh wait, don't you two go out now?" She looked back down at the two at the bottom of the stairs and then back up at Jimmy, "Well.." She smiled, "Isn't that weird." She smiled and walked back into the school.

Craig stood in front of her staring down at her until she gave a real answer.

"You meant so much to me, Craig." Her voice was so quiet.

You were all the things I thought I knew

And I thought we could be You were everything, everything that I wanted

We were meant to be suppose to be but we lost it

All of the memories so close to me just fade away

All this time you were pretending So much for my happy ending.

She looked up, "You were everything to me..." only Craig could hear her, "Everything I wanted..." She rolled her eyes and looked away. He knew it was the truth.

"Don't you still want--" He started.

Its nice to know we had it all

Thanks for watching while as I fall

"I felt like I did something wrong... I felt like I was the wrong one... and you just...LET me feel like that... that's not what I want..." She said exactly the way she felt. She emphasized the certain parts of what she said.

He was everything, everything that I wanted.

So much for my happy ending.

Craig couldn't say anything. He had no backup this time, he was speechless.

He muttered, "I'm sorry. I just don't want you feel ....pain....."

She just looked at him. She didn't want to make him feel bad anymore because she knew that he was hurting... probably not as much as she did, but it was something.

"When I look at Jimmy, it all goes away..." She slowly smiled realizing that being with Jimmy was ok.
