Chapter 3

- - - - -

HONK! A car horn bellowed from outside the Nelson house.
Emma rolled around in her bed, her eyes still closed, until she fell onto the floor with a thud.

She stood up and glanced at her silver digital alarm clock radio that read 3:45. She didn't even remember falling asleep.

She walked over to her body length mirror. Her pink tee shirt was slightly wrinkled, her hair was sticking out, her skirt was all crunched up and her mascara had run down her cheeks and she looked like a wet raccoon

HONK! The horn blared again.

Emma ran a hair brush through her hair and then glanced out the window, it was Jay.

Emma reached down and slung her white purse with a hot pink buckle on it over her shoulder.

This should be fun. Emma thought and climbed out the window, mascara still on her cheeks.

"Hey Em-whoa," he said, taken aback by the mascara.

"Long story," Emma said and climbed in his car.

"Well we've got time," Jay said, turning the key in the ignition and pulling away from the curb.

"What do you mean?" Emma asked.

Jay reached his hand into the glove box of his car and came out with 2 wet wipes.

"Wet wipes?" Emma asked, staring at the cloths in his hand.

"For your face, you never know when this type of thing will happen, besides, I need it to polish my guns," Jay said with a grin.

Emma stopped rubbing her face, "G-guns?"

"Kidding, God you are too easy," Jay said shaking his head.

"Now what did you mean by "we've got time"?" Emma asked as she finished removing the last of her makeup and checking herself over in the mirror.

"We're going to Wasaga," Jay beamed.

"Wasaga? We're going to Wasaga?"

Jay nodded, "Yeah...why?"

"Wasaga? What the hell is in Wasaga?"

"Sean," Jay said, pretending to sound offended.

"Well duh, but why?"

"I need to ask him a few questions," Jay said.

"Questions about what-no, you are not asking him questions about Jordan are you?"

"Does he know who he is?" Jay asked.

Emma shook her head.

Thank God.

"He's heard about him but he didn't know me when the whole thing happened, I didn't even talk to him until the Back To School Dance in the seventh grade when he had Jimmy pinned up against a wall and I asked him to dance," Emma said.

"What'd you look like in seventh grade?" Jay asked.

"Bad," Emma said, stifling a laugh.

"Doubt it," Jay said quietly to himself.

"I had this horrid overbite and a gap between my two front teeth, I got rid of it, but it bugged me so bad, and my hair was a whole other world, and of course me and my flat chest," Emma said then cringed for saying that to Jay.

Jay laughed, "Well you can kind of cross of the flat chested thing,"

"What do you mean?" Emma asked.

Jay laughed again, staring down at her chest, "You still are,"

Emma hit him on the arm.

"Sorry, it's true,"

"Hey, I've developed in these past few years buddy boy,"

"Never said you didn't. You just don't have what..." Jay drifted off.

"What Manny's got?" Emma asked, "No one else in all of Degrassi even has what Manuela Santos does,"

"Yeah," Jay said jokingly, "It's awful...don't you think so?"

Emma rolled her eyes at him and then stared out the window as they neared Wasaga.

"Back to the lunch box," Jay said, pulling into The Cameron's trailer court.

"His apartment is a lot nicer than this is," Emma said, following Jay out of the car.

Jay jogged up the small porch steps and tapped on the door.

"Who the hell is it? Can't it hold off until tomorrow?!" they heard a guy bellow.

Emma stared at the door questioningly, "Do you think that's-"

"Sean?" Jay cut her off.
Emma nodded with a gape expression on her face.

Jay lifted his sunglasses so they were on top of his head, "Damn, I hope not," he said as the door opened.

A guy with curly brown hair that hung just to his ears opened up the door, covering up his eyes with the light.

"What?" he asked groggily.

Emma grasped her hand on Jay's shoulder.

"Sean?" Emma asked quietly.

"Who's asking?" Sean asked.

"It's us man, Jay and Emma," Jay said with a small smile on his face.

"Right..." Sean said.

"Seriously, it's us," Emma replied.

"Yeah, I'm sure it is. I just don't remember," Sean said shaking his head.

Emma shook her head in disbelief, first Jordan and then this?

"I'm going to wait in the car," Emma said and spun on her heel, nudging Jay in the shoulder and climbing back in the car.

"What the hell was that Cameron?" Jay asked.

"What?"

"That, you hurt Em's feelings,"

"Since when did you care about Nelson's feelings?"

"Since when have you not?"

"Since I came back here?" Sean questioned, beer stinging his breath.

"That's it," Jay said, tugging his arm, pushing him to the car, "Emma, put him in there!" Jay said and then followed them.

"What the hell are you guys doing?!" Sean asked from where he was in the backseat.

"You're getting back to the way you were before Degrassi, we just want you to be normal again, you know, Sean Cameron?" Emma questioned.

"I've never been that nice," Sean said, groggily.

"Doesn't matter, you're going back to your apartment, back to Ellie," Jay said.

That made Sean's head pop up, "Ellie?!" he asked with a grin.

Jay and Emma shot glances at each other and then laughed.

- - - - -

"Sean! I'm so glad your back!" Ellie Nash screeched with excitement, her arms still never leaving his shoulders.

Emma and Jay grinned at each other as Ellie went ballistic with joy.

"I'm glad to be back," Sean said, tightening his hug.

"Thanks you guys," Ellie said to Emma and Jay with a thankful smile.

"No problem, all we had to do was kick him out of his house and practically kidnap him, but nothing to big..." Jay said jokingly.

Emma smiled and then glanced at her watch which now read 6:59.

Emma sucked in a deep breath and turned to Jay, "I need to get home, I was supposed to pick up Jack from daycare an hour ago,"

"Who do you think got him?" Jay asked.

"I've forgotten before, the day care teacher just will take him home, but usually I'm there and this time I'm not and she'll wake up my dad who'll get grouchy since he needs his sleep and, this just sucks," Emma said, running a hand through her hair.

"Alright guys, we're gonna head out, see you tomorrow," Jay said and followed Emma to the door of the apartment.

Sean and Ellie were still hugging and didn't even notice them leaving.

"I am so sorry mom," Emma said, running into her house frantically.

"Em, it's fine, you're dad called me at work and said he wasn't feeling very good at all so I came home and he was terrible. They had to take him to the hospital again," Spike said from where she was sitting at the kitchen table.

"Oh god," Emma said.

"Yeah, so why don't we head on down there, okay?" Spike asked.

Emma nodded and followed her mom out the door.
