AN: I do not own any part of Degrassi or the song by the Killers.
Chapter Two
Emma's POV:
After the little incident in the bathroom, I went home to an empty house. I grabbed some soda from the fridge and headed down into my room. I noticed a note on my dresser. It read:
Emma,
Snake and I are going out to dinner, so we won't be home until late. Jack's staying at Joey's, so you don't have to watch him tonight. There's some money on the kitchen counter in case you get hungry. Don't stay up too late. Love you.
-mom
Great, I guess I'll have to stay by myself tonight. Again.( Btw, it's Friday) I turned the radio on and it just so happens that my favorite song by the Killers was on: Mr. Brightside. I sat on my bed, listening to the lyrics and thought about what had happened with Sean today.
Coming out of my cage
And I've been doin' just fine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
That's what Sean had felt. It was only a kiss. I was busy contemplating on wether or not I should call Sean and tell him how I feel, when the phone rang.
"Hello." "Um, hey Emma. It's me, Sean" What did he want? "Oh hey, I was just about to call you" "Look, about the kiss. I'm sorry for just doing that to you." "No, it's fine. It was just really unexpected. At least to me it was. Did you-did you feel anything, anything at all when you kissed me?"
After a long and uncomfortable silence, he finally spoke "it's not that I don't have any feelings for you, it's just that, since Ellie has been cutting, I really don't want to hurt her. She's already vulnerable as it is. Breaking up with her would cause her to cut and eventually do something that could take her life. You're strong, beautiful, caring and independent. However, Ellie's the one who needs me right now. "
"Don't you feel that we should still be together? Because, I really do. Don't you think that I've been through enough as it is?"I began to tear. "You say that I'm strong and all that stuff, but you don't really know me anymore do you? You have absolutely no idea what I have to go through. Ellie is not the one who needs you right now. I do. I need you"
By the time I said that, I was already crying hysterically. After another uncomfortable silence, he spoke again. " Look Em I'm sorry. I didn't know that, that was how you felt. But, I have Ellie now. She's the best. I don't really care what you do anymore. Ellie is the one for me. I thought I loved you, but the one I really have feelings for is Ellie. She has some kind of other beauty that you just don't have."
"Why are you doing this to me?" I screamed into the phone. "You were my first love and now you're causing me so much pain. If you think I'm not beautiful as I am than screw you Sean. I don't need this. But just remember, that you'll be sorry for what you did."
(This is where I would usually stop, but here's a little more for making you guys wait that long. So here's some more.)
With that, I slammed the phone down. After, I collapsed on my bed and burst into tears. If Sean doesn't like me now, he's in for a rude awakening when I change my style. If he wants me to be more sexy and beautiful, than I will. He just has to wait and see.
The next day, I called Manny, and asked her if she wanted to go to the mall with me.
We met each other there and started shopping for my new wardrobe. She was so stoked to help me.
"Hey Em, what about this skirt. It would look totally hott on you." "I don't think that even qualifies for a skirt considering how short it is." "Come on. Remember how you've always said carpe dium?" "I never said that." "Well, whatever. Just buy it. I'm sure that when Sean sees you in that he can never say no." I thought for a while. Was I really going to change my appearance just for a guy? I finally spoke. "Fine, I'll buy it." "I knew you'd come to your senses. Oh, here get this top too."
I paid for my clothes and accessories and went home. Tomorrow will be the day that Sean Cameron will finally come to his senses. I woke up early on Monday morning and took a shower. After that, I changed into my new clothes and looked at myself in the mirror.
Well, this is the new me I guess. I walked to school wearing the short denim skirt, a pink halter, pink heels, and my hair was in slight curls. As I walked into the hallway, I certainly got a lot of stairs and whistles from guys. I twisted the combination into the lock and prepared my books for the next few classes.
As I packed up a few more textbooks, I felt a tap on my shoulder. It was...
AN: Well, there it is. I just want to thank everyone for reading my stories and giving your opinions. I promise I'll post more soon. I'm thinking about eventually have Sean's point of view from the beginning. If you want more than just comment. Thanks you all for the support! God bless!
