Emma sat in her room for most of the day just thinking about everything. Thinking about what had happened Friday night and then all of the things she and Sean said to one another the day before. Emma was in such deep concentration that she didn't even hear Manny walking down the stairs to get into her room.
"Emma?" Manny said. Emma jumped a little because she didn't know anyone else was in her room. "Sorry I didn't mean to scare you." Manny said. "No it's okay. I just didn't hear you come down that's all. But if you don't mind me asking, why are you here? Did we have a study thing planned or something?" Emma asked confused. "No I wanted to talk about Sean." "What's there to talk about?" Emma questioned. "He said that there was someone else for him. I thought long and hard about it that night and all of it came to you. You are the someone else Sean was talking about. I mean I should have known. You two were first loves and you can't get over those. And then I saw him eyeing you and Peter when Peter came to Degrassi. Everything adds up. Emma he loves you and I know you love him. I see how you are with Peter and you don't act like yourself or at least not when I am around." Manny said. "Whatever. Look I know that you care about me and want to see me happy and that's great but don't tell me I love Sean. I don't. I can't. Manny don't you understand? He broke my heart not once, not twice but three times. I am over him indefinite." "Alight. Whatever you say Em. I just thought I should tell you that I think he still loves you." Manny said sounding kind of sad. "Manny I didn't mean to blow up at you like that it's just Sean and I are over. We are ancient history. We might be friends but that's it." Emma said. Manny nodded and then walked back up the stairs. When Manny left Emma got up and turned on her radio. The song Incomplete by the Backstreet Boys was playing.
Empty
spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to
go
Without you within me I can't find no rest
Where I'm
going is anybody's guess
I've tried to go on like I never
knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for
this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is
incomplete
Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am
swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby
It's written on
your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake
I've
tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is
half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without
you all I'm going to be is incomplete
I don't mean to drag
it on, but I can't seem to let you go
I don't wanna make you
face this world alone
I wanna let you go
I've tried to go
on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I
pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going
to be is incomplete
When the song finished Emma realized that those words were a lot like she and Sean's relationship. She tried moving on and so did he, she with Chris and him with Amy and Ellie. But in the end they always found that they needed each other. "You still wonder if we made a big mistake" and "I don't wanna make you face this world alone" stood out the most to her though. Every now and then Emma would wonder if they made a big mistake and she was sure on her life that Sean thought the same. And then the whole "I don't wanna make you face this world alone" thing was true as well. Emma was worried sick about Sean at the dance because she knew what he was capable of. Then she saw him at the park and he came to her house. If he hadn't come she might have cut more. Everything was all coming in clear now. She picked up her phone and quickly dialed Sean's number. When someone picked up she was so happy but then realized it wasn't Sean's voice it was woman's voice. And if Emma wasn't mistaken it sounded like Alex's.
