Manny's Point of View
Life had been good to Manuella Santos. She was at the top of the fashion world in the United States, she had just been asked to do a photo shoot for the Victoria Secret Summer Issue, and she had a handsome 7 year old son. So why am I so unhappy? She asked her self as she sat on her private jet, watching the stormy clouds outside the window drift by. I have everything I could ever want. Manny sighed. Who was she kidding? Her life was a mess. Behind the beauty and fame and money there was a 22 year old woman, who wanted to be a regular person again, a woman someone could love. She wanted to be a good mother, have a relationship, and be a superstar. Was it so wrong to want it all? Wanting to rid herself of those depressing thoughts, Manny tried to concentrate on the week ahead of her. When Manny had received the invitation to the 5 year reunion ball at her old high school, Degrassi Community High, she had been shocked. She couldn't believe it had been 5 years since she had left Canada to pursue her career in America. She had immediately cancelled all of her plans for the week of the reunion and called to RSVP. She was thrilled that she was going to get to see all of her old friends again. She even wanted to see those who she was sure didn't want to see her, to show them who she had become and to prove to them that she was not the slut everyone thought she was. There was only one thing Manny was worried about. Of course, it was Craig. She hadn't seen him since graduation, and she hadn't expected to see him again so soon. When she had told him that she wanted an abortion, they stopped talking, and they hadn't talked since. It had just so happened that she never did have the abortion. She wanted to tell him, she did, but he was free, and she didn't want to ruin that for him, so she hid her pregnancy from everyone but her close family. So with that dilemma, Manny had decided she couldn't go. However, when Emma, called out of the blue to ask why Manny had called Liberty to say she couldn't go to the reunion, Manny re-thought her decision and in the end decided to go. Nobody needed to know that Damien was Craig's son. Now Manny was on her way to Toronto, to confront her past head on. Manny had to say, she was excited, and since she had sent Damien to stay with his Grandparents for the week while she was in Florida, she couldn't wait to land and hold her baby in her arms once again. Manny was shaken out of her daydream by a sudden shudder of the plane. "What's going on?" she asked the pilot, who was frantically pushing buttons on the control panel. "Nothing miss, just a little mishap that's all" he replied, but a second later the plane started spinning out of control. Scared, Manny took out her cell phone and dialed her parent's home number. At the second ring, Manny's mother picked up the phone. "Mom!" she yelled frantically, "tell Craig about Damien, and make sure Dam…" but Manny didn't get to finish her sentence, for she was thrust forward. Her head hit the control panel, leaving her unconscious.
