Sean looked for over an hour to find Emma but no such luck. He couldn't find her anywhere. Sean searched the ravine, the mall where they had their very first date, the tree where they had their first kiss, he ever searched near the school but she wasn't in any of those places. Where could she have gone? Sean stopped to rest for a few minutes. His thoughts trailed off to Emma and that wherever she was right now she was probably crying. Just the thought of her crying made him form a fist. He wanted to punch something. He knew that she was crying partly because of him and it killed him when he did that to her.

Then it hit him. Sean knew exactly where Emma was. Well he knew who she was with. Emma was with him when she and Sean broke up the first time. He was there to comfort her when she needed him the most. Sean ran all the way to Toby's house hoping to find Emma there. He knocked on the door and Toby opened it. Toby knew why Sean was there and without saying anything he stepped aside to let Sean in. Toby walked into the living room and Sean followed. When he got there he saw Emma sitting there just gazing off into space. Well she was until she saw Sean. When she saw Sean her eyes looked like they were going to start forming more tears again and at this point she didn't care. She wanted to let Sean see how much he hurt her this time. Make him suffer for everything he did to her and all the pain he caused.

Toby went over to Emma and whispered something in her ear and then left the room. Sean couldn't hear what Toby said to Emma but he figured it had to do with him. After Toby left the room Emma got up and walked over to Sean. She just stared deep into his eyes and then took his hand. She led him outside and then let go of his hand. She looked him deep in the eyes one last time so he could see all the hurt she was feeling. Then she started walking. Sean had no idea where she was going but decided to follow her. He needed to talk to her and he figured she wanted him to follow her anyway. When she stopped walking Sean realized they were at the ravine. No one was there except for them because it wasn't dark yet. No one goes until late at night anyway. Emma walked over to a picnic table and sat down. Sean slowly walked behind her and sat down next to her.

It took a good half an hour of silence for them both to gather their thoughts and prepare themselves for what the other was going to say before either of them decided to say anything. Emma was the first one to speak. She figured she should just get it over with. But she didn't bother to even look at Sean when she was talking. It was easier for her this way.

"Sean you really hurt me. But what I don't get is why. I mean I know I said some pretty harsh things to you the other day online but I didn't think that that would cause something like this. What really bothers me is that you came to me with your secret about having Leukemia and then you have Ellie come tell me that basically I was a huge mistake in your life that should never have happened." Emma said almost crying. Sean hated seeing her like this. Although he didn't know how to respond to that without getting into an argument he tried the best he could. "Emma before you try to disagree with me about this just hear me out first please." Sean said. Emma just nodded to let him know he could go on. "Look Emma I admit that I was a jerk to you over the years. That's the truth which is why I am admitting it. But what you need to understand is that I didn't mean to hurt you. I know it might be hard to believe but at least try too. We were never friends before we dated but you obviously trusted me enough to go out with me which is why I don't get why you believe Ellie. Maybe it's just because of the little fight we had the other day or because you just believe her over me. I really honestly don't know. Only you know the answer to that. But just no that I would never say anything like that and if I were to say something like that I wouldn't have Ellie or anyone else do it for me. That's not the type of person I am. I'm a straight forward kind of guy." There was more he needed to say but he wanted to wait until after Emma got another chance to speak. For a few minutes it was silent. Emma was trying to gather her thoughts and think over what she was going to say. "Sean I don't know who to believe. But what Ellie said really hurt me. It hurt me a lot. It still does hurt. Sean you always find a way to hurt me even without trying. It's like well I don't know how to explain it. The only thing I can say about you hurting me is that whenever you do I go home every night and cry myself to sleep. I think of all the great times we had together and then the moments leading up to you breaking my heart. I blame myself for it though not you. I always think that there was something I did to make you mad and not want me anymore. Usually a while later we are back together again but it didn't happen this time. When you ditched me for Jay and his hoodlum friends it was over for good. I saw you with Amy and it killed me inside. Sometimes I just felt like crying whenever I saw you two together. What hurt me the most was how quickly you moved on. You acted like I was never apart of your life." Emma said with sadness in her voice. She tried to fight the tears but they just came streaming down her face. Sean was quiet. He didn't know what to say. "Then I met Chris. I thought everything was going fine but when he brought up me still having feelings for you I knew I had to do something to make him see that I didn't. I couldn't lose someone else I cared about. I told him all we needed to do was get you in trouble and then I was finished with you. Stupid me getting you in trouble only made things worse. You ended up meeting Ellie in detention and then went out with her. You still are to this day. And it kills me to see you two together. It kills me more than when I saw you and Amy together." By this time Emma had tears streaming down her face. Sean noticed and whipped them away with his fingers. And for a moment Emma and Sean locked eyes. Emma of course couldn't handle it and looked the other way. "I know how you felt Emma. I felt the same way. But Jay and Alex were pressuring me to go out with Amy because they wanted me to prove that I was over you even if I wasn't. They were my new group of friends and I didn't want to be a loner because I knew you and your friends wouldn't take me back so that's why I went out with Amy. And Ellie, well I know this is mean of me to say but I don't think I ever loved her. Even when I told her that I did back in Wasaga I don't think I really meant it. Emma I didn't get over you as fast as it may have seemed. Actually, I'm still not over you. I know it may come as a shock that I'm not but it's the truth. And I went back out with Ellie when I came back this year because I thought she was going to cut again. And I didn't think you would want anything to do with me. But Emma please say that you believe me. I just need to know that you believe me. You don't have to talk to me anymore or even help me out with my Leukemia but just say that you believe me. That's all I need to know." Sean said in a sad voice. He really was hoping Emma would believe him. "Sean we both have said a lot and I'm not sure if I believe you or not right now. Just give me some time to think things over." Emma said still crying. Sean just nodded and got up to walk away.

He was a few feet away when Emma saw his figure drop to the ground. Emma panicked. She didn't have a cell phone and she didn't want to run to someone's house to call 911 and leave Sean here alone. She was pacing back and forth really fast when she saw Jay's car turn the corner and put itself in park. Emma ran up to his car yelling and screaming. Jay tells her to calm down because he has no idea what she is saying. Finally she is calm enough to speak and she tells Jay to call 911 because Sean just collapsed. Jay quickly called 911 and within minutes they were riding in the ambulance to the hospital.

At the hospital Emma and Jay were kept waiting in the waiting room for over an hour. Emma was panicking and was getting scared watching her. He had never seen Emma like this and it was scaring him. Finally a doctor came over to them with an update on how he was doing and what was wrong.

"I assume that you two are here for Sean Cameron." The doctor said. Emma and Jay just nodded. "Well I have some good and some bad news." "What is it? Sean is going to be okay right?" Emma said almost crying. Jay put his arm around Emma in almost a hugging kind of way. "Sean is fine right now but he has to stay in the hospital for about a week. We need to monitor him and make sure everything is fine. He is early in his cancer stages and something like this shouldn't have happened. We need to find out why. If you wouldn't mind please call his parents. I will leave you two alone. If you need anything just ask one of the nurses." The doctor said and then walked away. Well so much for keeping it a secret. No one was supposed to know except for the doctors, his parents, and the select few people he told. Jay walked over to the phone and called Sean's parents. They were coming down now.

"Jay." Emma said. "Emma did you know about this? I mean the cancer thing." Jay asked. "Um well yes Jay. But now he could die." Emma said as tears streamed down her face. Jay just hugged her tightly. "Shh Emma. I can't promise everything will be okay but Sean is a strong guy and he will fight this." Jay said trying to comfort Emma. Emma pulled out of the hug and stood up. "He may be strong but look at my step dad. He was strong too and he almost died Jay. He almost died. Sean could die." Emma said crying hysterically. Jay got up to hug her again but she just pushed him away and fell to the ground. Jay just stood there not knowing what to do. After a few minutes he called Emma's parents to let them know that they were at the hospital because of something that happened to Sean. Jay told them that she could come back to his house if they left the hospital because it was pretty late. Emma's parents surprisingly agreed.

"Emma we should go. Sean isn't going to change over night." "But what if he does? And my parents don't know where I am. They will probably think I am lying when I tell them I was at the hospital because of something that happened to Sean." Emma said in a sad voice. "Emma I just called them. I told them we were here and that I was taking you back to my place." Emma looked up at him and her eyes were wide. "I didn't mean it like that Emma. It's just really late and the hospital is closer to my house. So what do you say? Are you ready to go?" Jay asked in a concerned voice. "I guess so." Emma said. Then she got up and followed Jay to his car. The whole ride to his house was silent. Emma didn't know what to say and Jay didn't want to make her uncomfortable by talking about Sean or anything else. He thought it would be best to not say anything at all.

When they got to Jay's house Emma just stood there. She didn't know if she should sit down or not. Jay noticed this and walked over to her and took her hand. He led her to his bedroom. He let go of her hand and went through his draws. He got a long shirt and a pair of boxer shorts.

"Here." Jay said handing Emma the clothes. "It's not much but it's better than sleeping in your clothes. We can go to your house in the morning if you want." Emma took the clothes from him. "Thanks. But where am I going to sleep?" Emma asked. "You can have the bed. I will sleep in that chair over there." Jay said pointing to a small chair that she probably wouldn't even fit in. "No. You can sleep in the bed." Emma said. "Then where would you sleep Emma?" "The bed?" Emma said nervously. "Emma we'd both be sleeping in the bed. I'm not sure that's a good idea." Jay said. "I know but I'm scared. And I need someone to talk too. You aren't who I really want to talk to but you are here and I don't know…" Emma said trailing off. She started to cry again. Jay went over to hug her. "Shh Em it's okay. We can talk if you really want too. I'm here okay. I will be here for you through this whole thing. I promise." Then he kissed her forehead. Emma pulled out of the hug and went to the bathroom to change into the clothes Jay gave her. When she came out Jay was already in his bed half asleep. Emma got into the bed and snuggled close up to Jay. Jay noticed this and gently started to rub her back. Maybe it would make her fall asleep faster or something. He didn't really know. But he wasn't in the mood to talk. He was really tired and had to let everything that just happened sink in before he could talk about it.
