Chapter 3

A/N: So if you read the last chapter, Sean is in the hospital GASP Well, um…And Jimmy is cheating on Manny? Craig's moving in and Manny has a crush on him? And what about the growing friendship between Craig and Emma? Hmmm..? Well let's get on with the story! Okay, um, oh and also sometimes I may not do the whole Emma's POV thing. In this chap, I won't but, tell me which one is better.

Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi or any of the characters, or anything relating to Degrassi, unfortunately! But let's get on to the story!

"Stop! Matt, stop it!" Paige screamed at him, almost close to tears. "Stop!" Suddenly the phone rang, and Paige was so grateful. The one thing that could save her, Thank god…Paige thought to herself.

Matt immediately stepped away from her and muttered under his breath, "Get the freaking phone."

Paige nodded her head and walked past Matt towards the phone that was ringing.
She picked it up and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. "Hello, this is Paige."

"Hey Paige its Emma, can you come?" Emma asked frantically. She was so scared, she needed her friends. She had tried to contact Manny, but she hadn't picked up her cell phone.

"What's going on? Are you okay?" Paige replied. Emma sounded scared, real scared. Paige was beginning to get worried, yet, she was happy to get out of the apartment, away from Matt. A lot of things had been going on with them for a while.

"Sean's in the hospital and I need you to come!" Emma replied, sounding desperate. Her voice was high, and she needed to get back to Sean, to see if he would be alright. Boy, she was going to give him hell when he woke up! Why would he do something so stupid like this?

"Oh my god, um okay which hospital?" Paige asked. Was Emma okay? What about Sean? What's wrong with him?

"New York Red Cross Hospital, hurry please! I need you!" Emma was already on the verge of tears, yet she was mad as hell at Sean, for doing this!

"Okay, I'll be there soon. Oh and Emma, it'll be alright," exclaimed Paige, already picking up her keys and purse.

"Thanks Paige, so I'll see you soon?" She needed a friend, and Manny wasn't answering her phone. She was probably busy with Jimmy, or working at the Coffee Bean, but she needed her best friend. Yes, Paige was her friend, but not best friend.

"Of course, bye Em," and Paige was out the door, before Matt could stop her.

"Jimmy…" Manny pushed him back and breathlessly added, "We just did it like 2 days ago, please." Jimmy pulled back and sat down on the bed. They were quiet for a moment, before suddenly Jimmy started having a coughing fit. Once he was done coughing, Manny put her hand on his back and asked, "Jim hey, are you okay?"

Jimmy coughed one more time and then answered, "Yeah, sure. I'm fine. I think I'm just catching a cold." He scratched his nose one more time, then gave a sniffle, then finally smiled at Manny. "So, well, you-"

Manny's phone rang-interrupting Jimmy-Manny looked over at her phone, then mumbled, "Hold on…" She picked up her phone and said, "Manny's cell phone."

"Manny? Finally, you pick up your phone! Manny, I need you right now! I'm freaking out! Sean's in the hospital and, Paige is on her way and Manny I need you! Where have you been!" Emma exclaimed, practically shouting at Manny. She needed her best friend right now! And Manny had probably been with Jimmy or something, who knew? All that mattered was that Emma was freaking.

"Wait, Sean's in the hospital? What's going on?" Manny questioned, getting up from the bed, and smoothing out her messy hair. As soon as Jimmy heard, the words Sean and hospital in the same sentence, he got up and put his hand on Manny's shoulder.

"He's in the hospital; I'll tell you the whole story later, just please come!" Emma was growing impatient. The only person she had here with her was Craig.

"Okay Okay! The Red Cross?" Manny could hear some rustling in back of her, and knew that Jimmy was getting the keys.

"Yes! Hurry up! Why are you even on the phone with me right now? You should be hanging up and driving here!"

"Okay! I'm going now, walking out the door. Bye!" And Manny hung up, already rushing out of the apartment, with Jimmy right in back of her.

"Doctor-What's his name again?" Emma asked, turning around towards Craig.

"Um, Brown I think?" Craig answered. He was worried about Emma. She was pacing back and forth in waiting room and practically screaming at anybody who got in her way.

"Okay thanks," Emma replied, then turned back around to the doctor. "Doctor Brown? Um, do you know yet, if Sean is going to okay?"

"I am glad to tell you Emma, Mr. Cameron has regained consciousness. Were still doing some tests to see if he will be paralyzed, but you can go on ahead and see him." Doctor Brown replied. "Oh and your friend can come with you," he continued, acknowledging Craig's presence.

"Thank you very much," the girl said, already stepping towards room 209, where Sean was located. "Craig, you coming?"

"Sure, sure, is he okay?" Craig inquired, catching up to Emma, who was already opening the door to the hospital room. It would really break Emma's heart if Sean was paralyzed, but somehow, all that mattered right now was that Craig was here with Emma. She looked a lot better, since the last time he had seen her, but why was he thinking of this now? While Sean was in a hospital bed?

"Yeah…he might be-" Emma walked in the room and the first thing she saw, was Sean lying in a hospital bed. A sight she would never want to see, and never thought she would see. She didn't finish her sentence, but just ran towards Sean and started crying, while she whispered, "Oh Sean…What happened?"

"I just….I'm sorry Em, I was stupid." The boy replied, weakly-barely opening his eyes-.

Suddenly, out of nowhere-both Craig and Sean were surprised as heck-Emma hit Sean! Not that kind of hit, that you you're punching somebody out, but a light hit, as scolding somebody. She hit him lightly on the arm and exclaimed, "How could you do something so stupid!"

"I'm sorry Em, really. I was really dumb and I didn't know how to handle myself with basketball and everything." He really was sorry. He didn't mean to, it was just his anger. He wasn't even thinking clearly.

Emma sighed and just gazed into Sean's eyes and stated, "Alright, but never do this again! You scared the hell out me!" Sean smiled at her and finally noticed Craig who was standing by the door.

"Oh hey man," Sean greeted, waving his hand slightly at Craig. He hadn't seen Craig in a long time.

"Hey, you okay?" Craig asked, walking up to the bed, but before Sean could answer, both Manny and Paige burst into the room, breathlessly.

"Emma, we're here!" They both shouted in unison. Emma smiled at both of them and gratefully nodded her head. The girls looked at Craig, then at Sean, and sighed.

"Hey Craig!" Manny greeted, enthusiastically. Boy, he looked good. Was he single? Oh if only her and Jimmy weren't together! She would be all over Craig, but no worries, she loved Jimmy. Finally after a long stare at Craig, Manny noticed Sean and turned toward him and asked, "You okay? You gave us all a scare."

"I'm fine, I'm fine, really, nothing I can't handle," he replied, making a tough bad boy look on his face. All of them in the room laughed at this. For a at least an hour, the five friends joked around remembering old times, until Doctor Brown entered the room, and saying that Visitor Hours were over.

"Bye Sean, we'll see you next time!" Manny exclaimed, waving at him as she left the room.

"See ya hun, take care yourself," said Paige, giving Sean a pat on the knee and starting to walk out of the room.

"Bye," Emma leaned down and gave Sean a kiss on the cheek and said, "Love you." And waited for Craig to say his goodbye's before they left.

"Later man, get better alright?" Craig and Sean slapped their hands and Emma smiled at Sean one more time before exiting the room with Craig. As Sean sat there he thought about how Emma had looked so happy with Craig. Was something going on? He did say he was moving in with them, but Sean shouldn't be suspicious. Emma wouldn't do that. Sean shook it off and just worried about getting better for the time being. The doctor had come in and told them, that the test results said that
Sean wouldn't be paralyzed.

BBBBRRRRIIIIINNNNNG! BRRRIIIIIINNNNGGG! BBBRRRRIIIINNNNGGG! Why isn't she answering?

Emma opened the door quickly and ran to the phone just as it was on its last ring. "Hello?"

"Em! Oh Emma, you have to come! It's Snake, he had a relapse! His cancer has come back and I need you to come and help me to comfort him!" Spike yelled into the phone, hysterical.

"What? Snake's cancer-it's-its back?" Emma couldn't believe this! One horrible thing after another was happening. First Sean and now Snake? Why was this happening?

"Yes, I need you back in Toronto-pronto!" Spike replied. Her husband was in deep grief and denial; she needed her daughter to come back. This was family matters.

"Okay, I'll get a plane ticket and I'll be there soon! Mom I love you, tell Snake I love him too!" And her mom and Emma hung up. She couldn't believe this. She was devastated. How could this be happening? Sean and Snake? Snake and Sean? Why?

"Hey, what's wrong? You look like you just found out someone died." Craig stated, walking up from behind her and sitting on the couch. Sean looked good, he looked better. Craig had never expected for Sean to take steroids, never the less an overdose. He really hoped Emma would feel better and for some reason, Craig thought Emma deserved better.

"Snake's cancer came back," she quietly answered. The girl took a deep breath and walked into her room mindlessly.

Craig immediately got up just as he heard and followed Emma into her room. She didn't need this kind of trouble. Emma deserved to be happy after all the heartbreak she had been going through, through he her teen years. Suddenly Craig had an overwhelming feeling that he wanted to just hug Emma and protect her from the cold cruel world. He wanted to wrap his arms around her and whisper in her ear that it would be alright. For a second there, he wanted to kiss her, but he shook of the feeling thinking it was just maybe some old feelings resurfacing. "Are you alright?"

"Of course I'm alright, it's Snake that needs the help. I'm going to have to go back to Toronto."

"Then I'll come with you."

So you guys like the chapter? Was it good? It will more intense don't worry!
