Chapter 11

(Craig's POV)

"Come on, I'll walk you home."

She shook her head. Tears still rolling down her cheeks.

"That's the last place I want to be right now."

"Ok, you can come to my house. Till you feel better."

She almost laugh at the thought of feeling better but nodded and we started to walk.

"Hey guys, I should probably go home. So I'll see you tomorrow. Ellie,… Sorry." Spinner said sympathetically.

"Thanks Spin."

He gave her a sympathetic look and started walking in the opposite direction. Me and Ellie kept walking and I put my arm around her. I swear it was just to comfort her. We walked along like that, with her head leaning on me. I hoped this was some comfort. Was this my fault. What am I saying? Of course it's my fault, it was about me. And I had been wishing for it. I felt horrible.

"Ellie, I'm sorry too."

"It's not your fault… it's Sean's…"

I felt horrible but at the same time I was trying to keep my happiness suppressed. We walked in silence until we got to my house and we went into the garage. I doubted she wanted to be seen like this, even if it was just Joey.

We sat there for a few minutes in silence.

"I don't understand, why didn't he believe me?"

She looked so hurt. She'd trusted him and he broke that trust.

"I don't know. I know this is a typical thing to say but Sean's an idiot. He's probably punching himself right now for that crap he pulled."

"Sure."

"And… I don't think it's you he doesn't trust… it's me."

She rolled her eyes and leaned back on the couch.

"That's stupid, even so, if he trusted me he'd know, weather he trusted you or not, that nothing would happen. It's not like there's a reason not to trust you anyway, we're just friends."

"Yea…"

"Thanks Craig, your such a good friend but I think I need to go for a walk, kinda just think about things on my own. Then I'll go home. Thanks again." she said, hugged me and left.

When she closed the door I sighed and collapsed back onto the couch. Looking at the ceiling I thought about everything that happened. I meant what I said. He's an idiot and he should be kicking himself right now. But if he was and tried to get her back, would she forgive him? Then again knowing Sean he'll act like nothing happened like he did with Emma. Granted this was more serious but he's still Sean.

(Ellie's POV) It's now Thursday, the DS show's tomorrow!! lol

Last night after I left Craig's I walked around, making sure to avoid any street that would lead to Sean's or mine. Eventually I went home, the sight of my passed out mother just made things worse. I went to my room and grabbed the phone. I called Marco. When he answered he said he had called before but no one answered.

"Yea I just got home."

"El, are you ok?"

"No." I said trying to hold back tears. "Sean broke up with me."

"WHAT! Oh my god El I'm so sorry. I can't believe this, Why?"

"He doesn't trust me, or doesn't trust Craig. I don't know. We were at the dot and he came in. He actually thought we were on a date or something. How could he think that?"

He paused for a second then said "El,… I guess he's jealous and Craig is kinda known for being a, as my Grandpa puts is, "A Casanova".

"Thanks Marco, I just needed to talk to you."

"Well I'm here for you. El?"

"Yea."

"Nothing would have happened with Craig right?"

"What? Marco! Of course not!"

"And what about now?"

"Marco, I just got dumped. By someone who I love by the way. Or loved… I don't know."

"I know. Does that mean, you'd take him back?"

"I don't know, after what happened, I mean he say's he doesn't trust me? How am I supposed to trust him?"

"That's it, your not supposed to trust him. It shouldn't have to be forced."

Me and Marco talked for another hour. He so great, he really did make me feel better. When he asked if I'd take Sean back, I didn't know. I don't even think he'll come asking to have me back. Sometimes he just puts up his tough guy front and won't let it down. At least not until it's too late.

And now I have to walk into Degrassi and face that.
