"Em!" Jimmy ran up to her in the hallway.
"Hey!" She smiled.
"Did you ask your mom about Kwan's acting camp yet?"
"Yea, she gave me one of those 'we'll think about it' looks."
"Oh, I see. My parents are totally psyched, they said it 'would be good for me.'"
Emma giggled. She really wanted to go to acting camp, especially with Jimmy. She really found herself acting this spring, and she really wanted to continue it.
"Anyway...year end dance, wanna go?" Jimmy asked.
"Of Course!" Emma pumpedher fist in the air.
Jimmy kissed her deeply.
"Yo lovebirds!" Dylan came up behind them.
"Hey!" Emma smiled.
"You guys up for doin' somethin' after the dance?" Dylan asked.
"Sure!" they both replied.
"I figured we can all just stay at my house, Paige and I were gonna throw a party or something anyway."
"Yea, it'll be fun." Emma smiled.
"Hey Marco!" Dylan yelled. "They're coming!"
"Sweet." Marco said walking up to all of them.
"Emma Nelson, please report to Mr. Raditch's office immediately, Emma nelson report to the principals office immediately." The intercom boomed.
Emma walked down to Raditch's office swiftly.
"Emma, your mother will be here soon to take you to the hospital." Mr. Raditch told her.
"Wait...the hospital, what happened, is Sn- Mr. Simpson alright."
"From what I hear, yes, he may have to stay in the hospital for a couple days."
Emma started to cry when she walked outside to wait for her mother.
"Em..." Spike said, tears filling her eyes.
"Is he going to be alright?" Emma asked.
"We think so, they think the cancer might be spreading."
Emma hugged her mom and cried. Was this the end of their family?
"Stop worrying, it'll be fine." Ellie complained.
"I'm not gonna worry until Emma tells me it's fine." Marco said.
"Alright." Ellie replied walking away.
"Women and their hormones." Marco laughed.
"Hey, tell me how it all turns out." Ellie turned around.
Marco smiled, that's the Ellie he knew.
"Mrs. Simpson? Your husband's going to be fine. We're going to keep him here a few more days, just to see if we can contain the cancer to one area." The doctor told them.
"See Em? It's gonna be fine." Spike told her daughter, not really believing what she just said.
Emma hugged her mom, tears stil trickling down her cheeks.
"C'mon, let's get you back to school." Spike said.
"Emma!" Marco was the first to see her when she got back to school.
"He'll be fine." She tried to force a smiled.
"That's good." He threw his arms around her.
"Del Rossi! Hands off my girlfriend!" Jimmy laughed.
"Hey!" Emma kissed Jimmy.
"Everything's ok?"
"It will be."
"Remeber though, I'm here for you, ok?" Marco reassured.
"And remember, I love you." Jimmy kissed her.
"We all got your bak." Dylan smiled walking over to her.
