Recap: Well Sean and Emma kissed, but is it really too soon? (Emma's POV)

(Sean's POV)

"... is pregnant, isn't that insane?" she asked.

"Yeah," I said, Manny was pregnant, as in Emma's Manny? The Manny that used to constantly tag along with Emma and I? Emma's best friend? Emma... why is she all I think about? You need to do it, Sean, I told myself. I can't. "Ellie... I uh..."

"Yeah?" she questioned.

"I... I... I think... that we... you know... need... some... time apart...?" I said, not meaning for it to be a question.

Her expression was blank. "I... don't... think that... Sean," she sobbed.

"Look, Ellie, I'm sorry, but I think it's only fair to you..." I trailed off.

"Fair to me? Fair to me, Sean? How is this fair to me?" she cried.

"Ellie, seriously, it's for the best," I replied.

"It's Emma, isn't it? You still love her," she said, wiping her eyes.

"Ellie, I just... I don't know... I'm not sure, that's why we need to do this... take a little break until I figure things out," I said.

"Yeah, whatever, Sean," she said, bitterly and she walked away, her eyes full of tears. I didn't really want to do it. I just had to. I thought what I was doing was best for Ellie. I'm always thinking about Emma. I stood there, watching Ellie walk away. I stood there, for what seemed like hours before I finally grabbed my bag and headed for MI. Once there I took my seat and sat there, looking at Simpson, but not really listening. When he was done talking I turned back to my computer and made it look like I was working. Really, I walk thinking about Emma. Finally the bell rang and I headed back to my locker for my English book. When I opened my locker I found a note... from Ashley. I grabbed it and slipped it in my English book.

During English, while Mrs. Kwan was talking I quietly opened the note and read it.

Sean,

You ass! How could u do that to Ellie? I know u mite alwayz think about Emma, or whatever, but I mean, didn't u no that at the beginning of ur relationship w/ Ellie? Couldn't u have brokn up with her b4 you guys got so close? U no... I think she really luved u. But, I can't exactly be mad u... she may b sad now, but she's been the happiest I've ever seen her. So I guess maybe u did the right thing by breaking up with her... I'm not sure... she loved u, but if ur only thinkin about Emma when ur with her... then maybe u did... I don't know... I'm even kinda confused by my point of view here, but atleast u didn't pull a Craig... okay, maybe I'm happy u broke up with her now... and no... that's not a joke... well, that's all for now...

Ciao,

×Ashley

I read it again and again... I know I'd made Ellie happy, but I just couldn't keep going on like this... you know? I'm so confused...

Then my thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of the bell... damn that thing. Oh, well. I got up and slung my bag over my shoulder once more and headed down to lunch. On my way down I saw Emma talking on a pay phone. I decided I should try and talk to her... pretend like I have to use the phone and accidentally bump into her. That could work, right?

I stood in line behind her and waited, digging in my pocket for change.

"... so is Craig there with you?" Emma asked into the phone.

Emma laughed a little. I love how she laughs.

"Yeah," Emma said.

Pause.

"Yeah, but, hey, I gotta go now, I'll talk to you later. Okay?" Emma questioned.

"Buh bye," Emma replied into the phone.

Emma turned around to face me, rolled her eyes, and tried walking away, but I caught her by the arm and stopped her.

"What, Sean?!" She asked, very annoyed.

"Is she okay?" I questioned, that being the first thing to come to my mind.

"She's upset, but she has reason to be," she responded, her tone very harsh.

"Emma, what's your problem?" I asked. SEAN! You dumbass! Don't get her any more mad at you!

"Okay, Sean, you want the run down of my problems? Okay, I'll give it to you. A few months ago I thought I had the perfect boyfriend, I thought I loved him, I thought he loved me, I thought he was the one, but then he goes and blows it all, just so he can go hang out with a "cooler" group of friends. My step dad was diagnosed with cancer. Then the boy went and stole my dad's new laptop, which my dad liked very much. But now that boy has a new girlfriend, and here I am alone and boyfriend-less, because I can't seem to get over him. And now, to top it all off, my best friend could very possibly be pregnant by another friend. Does that give you an idea of what my problem is?" she finished.

Ouch. When did Emma become such a bitch? Oh, yeah, probably when I did all that stupid crap to her.

"Look, Emma, I know I hurt you, I don't know if you'll ever forgive me, but I want you to know I'm sorry. Okay? I want you to know that. And just so you know... Ellie and I broke up today. You wanna know why? Cause when I'm with her I can only think of you. I can't stop thinking about you... ever," I replied, begging for her forgiveness.

She just stood there for a few seconds, then she kissed me, and I, of course kissed here, the girl of my dreams back. Then the kiss ended. Her expression changed, to worry.

"Sean, I am so sorry," she said.

"For what, Emma, I've been wishin' I could do that since we broke up!" I exclaimed, in disbelief of her reaction.

"Yeah, but it's just too soon, Sean," she replied.

"Too soon... too soon for what? For us? No... no, Emma, it is not too soon for us. You wanna know why? Because "us" should still be together. "Us" shouldn't be ashamed of this. I still have feelings for you... do you feel the same?" I paused for her answer. Her eyes were watering. Then, after what seemed like an eternity, she nodded. "Then whay are you sorry?" I once again paused. "See, you're not. You enjoyed that kiss as much as I did. Didn't you?" I asked.

Emma once again nodded. "I love you, Sean," she said.

I love you, too, I thought. I opened my mouth, but no words came out. C'mon, Sean.

"I love you, too," I replied, "can I kiss you, then?"

Please?

"Oh, I don't know, whaddya give me for it?" she joked.

"Probably that kiss, followed by another one," I replied, playing along with her joke.

Then we kissed, again, but this one was even better then the first one. We only stopped kissing to take a breath, then we kissed again. But, as if on cue, the bell rang. Seriously, someone needs to shut that thing off. I gave one more parting kiss, then we went our seperate ways to class.

A/N: Hey guys, hope you like the new chapter! I am the biggest Sean/ Emma fan, so there was no way in hell that I was going to let this be a Sean/ Ellie story. Well, I officially don't like this system. Two of my stories have been removed for no reason... I don't know why. As for the title of this chapter and the last one... damn that Ashlee Simpson. lol ;) Well a note to the reviewers:

FusionSpark12: I know, she isn't necissarily the school slut, but it does make for a more interesting story. BUT I am still not sure if I want her pregnant or not. Send your ideas in your review if you have, cause I love suggestions!

rollinx3: Thank you! I'm so glad you love it! lol, now you don't have to roll on the floor and cry! ;)

turquoisetears91: Thanks for the suggestion! Your wish is my command! lol, Sean and Emma are my favorite couple (aside from Spinner and Paige) also.

Well, thanks, to everyone who reviewed! Please r/r! Thanks a bunch! Also: Don't forget to watch Degrassi: Unscripted Friday at 8 (if you live in the U.S.), because after watching it, I am totally jealous of Miriam's shoe collection AND that hug Shane gave her. :( lol Great taste in music, too. Oh, that reminds me... music junkies in the U.S. don't forget the VMA's tonight on MTV at 8/7 c! Thanks, I swear I'm done now! lol Ciao,
