Nobody Will Miss Me

A/N: I am SOOOOOO sorry for not updating! What can I say, summer has been crazy as heck for me! But, have no fear, this chapter will surely leave you guys happy.

Emma put her hand out in the street, signaling for a cab. She knew what she had to do. She had to get away from this soap opera hellhole they called Degrassi Community High.

As she climbed in the cab car, she spread her legs out over the seat, wondering what was going on back home. Had Craig told already? She shivered. She hoped not. Because a certain someone would think of the place she was going to.

She looked in her purse and saw two more letters there. Paige and Seans. She leaned her head back and sighed. Well, she was brilliant. How was she going to get these two letters to them?

The car jerked and Emma hit her head on the window. " Damnit," she muttered and glared angrily at the cab driver, who was leering at her. Gathering her stuff together, she handed him 20 bucks and quickly got out of the cab, happy that she didn't have to be in there with him anymore.

As the cab sped off, she looked around and smelled the ocean. ' Wasaga Beach,' she thought happily. Even though Sean complained about it a lot, she actually liked the place. Sand and sun everywhere, a big shopping mall, an internet cafe... How cool was that?

Emma's eyes widened. It was apparently cool enough for...

' Paige?'

Emma ducked into a cafe and peeked out the window, as Paige Michalchuk, hair pulled back and clothes thrown together ran past the window, body movements frantic. Emma watched her run off with curious eyes.

' Why is Paige in Wasaga Beach... DAMNIT, CRAIG!'

Emma slammed her hand angrily on the restraunt table and blushed bright red when the other restrauntees stared at her in wonder. She quickly put her head down and pretended to be ordering from the menu. She could feel her blush growing stronger and ducked down further.

As soon as her body temperature returned to normal, Emma lifted her head up and peeked out the window again, but Paige was gone. To God knows where.

Her cellphone was vibrating. Without thinking, she flipped the top open and said, " Hello?"

Shit.

" Emma!" Paige Michalchuk's frantic, yet pissed off voice rang out. " Emma, where the hell are you!"

Silence. Panicking, Emma quickly shut the cellphone and shoved it in her purse, jumping up from the table and running out of the cafe.

The fresh air smacked her in the face like a harsh slap, but she kept on running. She had to get away from Wasaga Beach now. And this was the place she figured she could be safe in.

Her cellphone was vibrating again. She rolled her eyes. Couldn't Paige take a hint? She shifted her purse to her other shoulder and quit running, but then smacked into somebody.

" AH!" Emma shouted as she tripped and fell down, scratching her knee up. As she lay on the ground in pain, a manicured hand pulled her up roughly and started to shake her.

" Emma, are you crazy! Do you know how many people are worried about you!"

Paige Michalchuk's blue-green eyes flashed angrily as they met Emma's determined honey brown ones. Emma scoffed. " Please. They are hardly worried," she retorted back, knowing that that was a huge lie. Paige threw her hands up and turned away from Emma, starting to stalk off.

Emma limped after her, knee still pretty bruised up. " Ow," she whispered as she jumped over a hole. Paige heard this and turned back around, hard eyes softening.

" Come here," she demanded and rolled her eyes, grabbing a Band-Aid out of her purse. " Put this on it and the burning will cool down a bit."

Emma grabbed the Band-Aid without thanks and stuck it on her bump, which was now starting to swell. She hissed in pain as the Band-Aid got stuck on her knee as she was adjusting it.

As soon as she was done, she noticed that Paige was staring at her, hands on her hips. She rolled her eyes. " What?"

" Why... Why would you want to kill yourself, Em?" she whispered, her angry demeanor vanishing. She suddenly looked very sad and sympathetic. Emma turned around. She didn't want sympathy.

" Nobody will miss me," she said softly, trying to convince herself.

Paige turned her back around. " Yes, we would! As much as we try to deny it, we would so miss your protests. You're what kept the school alive with freedom and junk like that."

A smile escaped off Emma's lips. " Junk like that?"

Paige sighed. " What I'm trying to say is that you're a very special person, Em... You fight for what you believe in, you don't let anybody sway your opinions, and you give people second chances... You're one of a kind."

A tear escaped down Emma's cheek as she heard Paige describing all her good qualities. She unzipped her purse and pulled out Paige's letter.

" Here," she said quietly. " Something to remember me by."

And before Paige could protest, Emma placed the letter in her hands, gave one last sad smile, and ran off to the beach shack.

Where a certain someone was waiting for her.

Author's Note- Ok, I am adding more of the Pink Bitches incident down here, because it didn't really fit in with this chapter.

As Emma was running away from J.T.'s insensitivity, she accidentally bumped into Rachel and they both fell onto the ground, books flying everywhere.

" You bitch," Rachel growled and kicked Emma as she jumped up. Emma just sat there, silent, not bothering to argue back with her.

" Have you gone mute or something, Nelson?"

" Nelson!"

" Emma Ugly Girl Nelson!"

Finally, Emma jumped up, furious. She grabbed Rachel's collar and shoved her up against the locker, eyes flashing and breathing shallow.

" I'm warning you, Rachel," she hissed. " Keep messing with me and you'll endure pain like you've never endured before."

A little shaken but still gloating, Rachel pushed Emma off her and into another locker, where she cut her shoulder once more. Emma whimpered in pain as the blood trickled down her shoulder. Rachel laughed.

Smack!

Rachel clutched her cheek and noticed that Manny was glaring at her angrily, hand still up in the air. " Want another one, Green?" she asked.

Rachel went to shove Manny but Paige stepped in the way and stared at Rachel, daring her to move.

" Quit messing with Emma," Sean's voice rang out. He was standing by the door, now holding onto Emma's shoulders. Emma noticed this and jumped.

" STOP IT!" Emma screamed as tears flooded down her cheeks. " You're just making everything worse!"

The three looked at her in confusion.

As she ran off, she kept muttering, " They don't love me, they don't love me, they don't love me..."
