A week after the whole incident with Sean in the closet Emma decided to get over it. Maybe Sean really did hate her. Maybe he never really loved her. No one really knew except Sean. But Emma thought it would be best to get those thoughts out of her head. Peter came to Toronto to find Emma. He obviously wanted to be with her enough to come find her. That's why when he asked her out she said yes. Emma couldn't appear happier than she was now that she and Peter were together. She was never this happy when she and Sean were together.
When Friday finally came around Emma was ecstatic. She was going to the dance with the person she was happiest with – Peter. Nothing or no one was going to ruin this night. She was going to make sure of it. Although she didn't know who or what could ruin it she just made a promise to herself that it would be the best night of her life.
Emma and Peter agreed to meet Sean and Manny at the dance. When Emma and Peter arrived they saw Manny and Sean arguing about something. They walked as close as they could without interfering and then listened to what they were arguing about.
"Manny look I just don't think this is working." Sean said. "What? What are you talking about Sean? How is this not working?" Manny said practically in tears. "There is-" Sean started to say but got cut off. "There's someone else isn't there? I knew it. Someone said they saw you and some girl go into a closet last week but I thought noting of it. I just thought it was some stupid rumor to get me to dump you or something. But I can't believe this." Manny said angrily at him. "Manny stop. That closet thing isn't what you think it is. There is someone else but that isn't why I want to end this. I can't stand being with you. We always have to make out at lunch and then whenever we go out all you want to do is make out. Don't get me wrong I like making out but with you everything is different. Your kisses and your touch is nothing compared to-" Sean stopped when he spotted Emma and Peter watching then fight. "It's nothing compared to who Sean?" Manny snapped. "Nothing. Just we are over. Bye." Sean said and then walked away. On his way out he glared at Emma.
Once Sean was out of sight Emma and Peter walked up to Manny to make sure she was okay. She said she was fine and that she was sick of Sean. He had just treated her like dirt for no reason. The whole making out thing was always his idea not hers. She didn't want their relationship to be like her other ones which always involved making out everywhere and then later on it turned into sex. Luckily her make out sessions with Sean never lead to sex. Even though Emma said she was over Sean Manny knew that if they had sex Emma would probably have yet another heart break.
After a few minutes Manny said that they should all go into the dance to have some fun. That was the point of a dance. Before heading into the gym Emma and Manny went into the restroom to freshen up. Then when they were done they went into the gym.
About an hour had passed since Sean left the dance. Emma kept eyeing the door hoping he would come back. She knew what he was like when he was mad or upset about something. He would get drunk, steal things, or worse he would pick fights with random people and get severely hurt.
It was time for the announcement of King and Queen when Sean came back to the dance. He finally cooled off from earlier. Emma was relived. There were no bloody clothes or cops coming in after him which meant everything was good.
Sean and Manny were crowned King and Queen. However they didn't dance with each other. If they did they were both liable to rip the other's head off or they would start arguing again.
When the dance was over Sean walked out of the gym to find Emma and Peter making out. It disgusted him. He wasn't thinking clearly which was why he went up to them and pulled Emma away from him.
"Sean what the hell? What are you doing?" Emma snapped. "He was kissing you. You are mine not his." Sean said and then realized what he said was something he should have kept to himself. "What are you talking about Sean?" Emma asked confused. "You and I um I was oh nothing. Never mind." Sean stated. "Sean tell me what the hell is going on right now. You break up with Manny for no reason. At the beginning of the dance you walk by Peter and I and give me an evil glare. Then you come back to the school and surprisingly you aren't drunk nor are you all bloody from fighting. And now because Peter and I are making out you have the nerve to come over here and tell me that I'm yours. Sean get a fucking clue. I hate you. I never loved you." Emma said coldly. "Emma that's not fair." Sean pleaded. "Fair? I will tell you what's not fucking fair Sean Cameron." Emma snapped. "Emma calm down. I think we should go." Peter said. "No we are not going and I am calm. So Sean lets go back to grade seven. Well the end of it. I remember it clearly. You wanted to fight Jimmy because you couldn't control your anger. I tried to stop you and then you fucking pushed me to the ground. Then at a party you make out with Ashley after trying to get me back. Making out with Ashley isn't my idea of trying to get someone back. Hmm and then the next year Manny invites you to my mom's wedding. I told her to uninvited you and she did. Then I felt bad because of what I did so I invited you. We had our first kiss Sean. First kiss. That told me something. I thought it meant that you would never hurt me again but that was all a bunch of shit. You did hurt me the next year. Lets see here you dumped me because my step father had cancer and I had to baby sit all the time. I'm sorry I am a babysitter, a nurse, and whatever else you decided to call me that day. I'm sorry I'm not Sean Cameron's ideal girlfriend. But Sean stealing my step dad's laptop to get back at me was so fucking low it's pathetic." Emma yelled. This was causing a scene for sure. People stopped and stared at them. "Emma I told you I was sorry. You said it was ancient history. Can we please just talk?" Emma didn't know what to say so she slapped him really hard across the face. "Sorry doesn't mean shit Sean. Oh and I got nothing to say." Then Emma stormed out of the school with Manny following her.
Minutes later everyone was out of the school except for Peter and Sean. Peter couldn't go anywhere because Emma probably took his car and it wasn't like he could ask Sean for a lift home. After a few minutes of silence Peter spoke.
"She is mine so back off." "Excuse me?" Sean said pissed off. "She is mine Sean. Your first kiss means nothing compared to her first time which was with me. When I first met her in California she had a picture of you and her at her mom's wedding. I asked her who you were and all she could do was break down and cry. She blames you for everything that has gone wrong in her life and I can't blame her. She was so fucking worried about you tonight. She may care about you a little but not as much as me. What she and I have is a hell of a lot stronger than whatever stupid little fling you and her had." Peter said getting all up in Sean's face. "Peter she doesn't love you. She loves me. She always has. We have just been denying it because I was going out with Manny and she was going out with you." Sean said looking really pissed off at Peter. "She loves me and I love her. Get it now? Or should I try something less confusing seeing as how you are a dumb fuck who is a screw up at everything." "You're right. I am a screw up and I am not ashamed of it. If I hadn't screwed up then I would never have gotten sent here to Toronto. I would never have met Emma. I would never have made good grades. I wouldn't have had my first dance and my first kiss with Emma. Everything good in my life has been because of her. Yeah I have had other girlfriends but I never loved them." Sean said. "Whatever man. Just stay away from my girlfriend or else you will be in for it." "Really? How?" Sean said. "You want to find out keep pushing it." Then Peter walked off. Sean wanted to punch him so bad but he knew that if Emma ever found out she would be even more pissed off at him.
