Playing God

Chapter 2 - Sorry

Disclaimer: If I owned Degrassi, I'd actually make this happen on the show!

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

He had seen her, walking with Paige. And he had heard her too. Those words hit him hard and he was sure that she did hate him. Again, anyway. His mind was clouded with the thought that Emma hated him. How could he love someone that hated him? Maybe I'm not in love. That was it. He wasn't in love with Emma. Or anyone else. He didn't even know what love was. Love was a foreign feeling that he would never have. At least not with Emma. Then why do the words 'I love her' keep coming back to me?

He walked to class and sat in his normal seat, which just happened to be very far away from Emma. They had never sat by each other, or even really talked to each other since they broke up last year. As much as he wanted to sit and talk to her though, he didn't do anything but sit in that seat. He was doing some last minute homework when Emma walked in. He looked up at her and tried to make eye contact to tell her that they needed to talk. But as far as he could see, she was looking right past him. She sat next to J.T.

After the lecture Mrs. Kwan had dwelled out and the assignment was given, they were allowed to move seats. J.T. had went and sat by Toby, so Sean was free to sit down next to Emma. As he got up, he made his way towards her.

"Hey," he whispered into her ear.

"Hi."

"You want to work together?"

"I'm more of a... 'I don't work well with guys named Sean' type."

"Emma, come on."

"Don't 'come on' me Sean"

"Why won't you give me another chance?"

"Because I already gave you a million chances and each time you threw it away."

"I was stupid ba-"

"Yeah, you we're stupid," she cut him off.

"Emma, you know I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. If I have to say it a hundred times I will."

"Get counting." Her voice was cold and filled with hatred. The bell rang.

They all filed out of class within a minute, but Sean was left in his seat contemplating what just happened. Fine, if she wants one hundred sorry's, I'll give them to her. He got up and walked to his locker, not looking at Emma once as he passed her.

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

Sean didn't go to his next class. In fact, he left school altogether. He walked to the mall and entered the flower shop. Since he had gotten a job at a local auto repair shop, he had some spare cash to spend now and then. Now and then was definitely right now and he had intentions of spending every single cent of money that would make Emma forgive him.

"I'd like 100 roses please."
He knew that both Emma's parents worked. Snake was at the school, teaching his fourth period and Spike was at the salon... doing whatever she does there. Jack went to a local nursery until Spike got off work at about 2. Right now it was 1:28 and Sean needed to hurry. He walked to the side of the house and set the stack of roses on the ground. He opened the window that led to Emma's room and climbed in. He stuck his hand back out the window and grabbed the roses. He started at her door and put 3 or 4 roses on each step. He put the others amongst the room randomly. He grabbed a piece of paper from her desk and wrote on it 'A sorry per rose' and set it on her bed. He left the room and started to walk back home. 10 minutes until Emma got home.

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

Emma's day had definitely not been a good one. First, she had been rude to Sean for no apparent reason at all. Ugh, mood swings. Second, she realized she had forgot all her History homework at home. Third, she spilled chocolate milk all over her pink top and had to borrow a sweatshirt from Paige, and fourth, the heel of her new pink flip flops had broken off. So for the whole day she was walking around with a guilty conscience, a 0 in history, and a sweatshirt with one shoe. Lovely. She hobbled into her house and dropped her backpack down. She went into the kitchen, grabbed a diet coke, grabbed her backpack again, and headed down to her room. As she opened the door, she was taken away by the sight of her room. Every single step had three or four red roses on it. Her floor was covered. So was her desk, her shelves, her bookcase, EVERYTHING. Then she looked back at her bed, which was also covered in roses, and saw a white piece of paper on top of it all. She picked it up and read 'A sorry per rose'.

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

At first she was upset, then just angry. Then she realized maybe he really did mean he was sorry. Maybe he really had changed. Maybe she was wrong. Maybe I love him. No, no. Where did that thought come from?

She forgot about everything that was going on and just left her house, heading for Sean's. When she got there she rang his doorbell and waited. He opened the door, not expecting her at all.

"Emma..."

"So I guess you weren't lying."

"I know, I told you I would give you a hundred sorry's."

"No, that's not what I was talking about.

"Then what were you talking about."

"Well I guess you weren't lying about anything. About being sorry for everything that happened last year and all."

"I know."

"Yeah, now I know too.

There was an awkward silence for about 30 seconds until Emma broke it.

"I'm sorry for the way I was acting. I was wrong."

"It's ok."

"Am I forgiven?"

"No." He said playfully.

Emma laughed and replied, "Come onnnnn."

"K, you're forgiven." He said has he pulled her into a hug. He kissed her and surprisingly, she kissed him back. He pulled away and whispered, "I love you." Emma's body went tense.

He WHAT?

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