A/N: Hey guys. Thanks for all the reviews. Here's a new chapter. Sorry if it's short. GOBBLE GOBBLE.
Chapter Three
Surpises at every turn
I'll
spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly
I'll do what it takes
til' I touch the sky
I'll make a wish
Take a chance
Make a
change
And breakaway
Emma smiled as the smell of the ocean met her nose. Maybe she would just stay in Wasaga Beach with the smell of the ocean every morning when she woke up. She could start a new life here with no death or screaming babies. It would make life perfect. She wiped the snow from her hair and sighed. But as she turned around, she saw the reason why living here would not be perfect.
"Emma?" A dark blonde, greenish blue eyed boy said standing a few feet away from Emma. She gripped her hand back strap tighter.
"Sean." Sean Hope Cameron stood there looking at his ex-girlfriend like she had lost her mind.
"What are you doing here at almost christmas time?" (A/N: I forgot to mention the part about it was almost Christmas didn't I? Well it's almost christmas time in my story)
"Just going threw."
"Where are you heading?" He asked walking closer. He leaned against the railing Emma was leaning against.
"The states. Got tired of all the bullshit in Degrassi so I left."
"You're all by yourself. You shouldn't have gone off by yourself. Specially with that laptop. Some one could mug you for it."
"Who? Some one like you maybe? I mean you take laptops from cancer-stricken step fathers." She snapped turning her back to him and started to walk away. He quickly caught up and stood infront of her.
"Em, I told you that I was sorry for everything. And you excepted it....or at least I thought."
"Look I'm sorry. It's just, I'm running away from my past. I'm not supose to run into it." She shivered a little.
"You cold. How about I buy us some hot coca and then we'll see what happens." Emma sighed and looked at Sean. She nodded and he grabbed her elbow and led her to a nearby cafe.

Manny, Paige, and Hazel sat in the back seat as Jimmy and Spinner sat up front. Spinner drove.
"Where are we going?" Jimmy asked. Manny smirked.
"First stop: Wasaga Beach."
"Why there hun?" Paige asked.
"There's where Sean is."
"And you think she went to see him." Hazel said finishing for her.
"Exactly. She's a sucker for him."

"How are things back at Degrassi?" Sean asked after setting his coco down on the table. They had been there for a good 10 minutes without any one saying a word.
"Fine I guess. Everyone was happy when I left."
"Except you. Em, what happened?"
"My parents fight, my baby brother won't stop screaming, Snake has cancer, Chris and I aren't going any way and I have no friends." Sean made a fist with his other hand under the table. "How's your life treating you?"
"Same as before. My parents are back to being drunks. They're barely at home. I have my own place now but I was thinking of heading back to Degrassi before Christmas."
"In two days?" He shrugged and grinned.
"You know me. Doing things at the last minute." Emma smiled.
"That was always like you."
"Why thank you. So why did you all of a sudden decide to get up and go to the states just days before Christmas? I'm sure your parents are looking for you."
"Let 'em look. I'm not going back till I need to."
"You're going to spend Christmas alone on a train?"
"I guess. My train leave in an hour." She said as a man ran inside.
"All trains, buses, taxis, planes and other ways out of Wasaga are all shut down. Big storm is coming until after Christmas. Sorry miss but your stuck here." He said to Emma. She sighed and looked at the table.
"Great now I'm stuck here. Where am I going to stay now?"
"There's always the park down town." Sean joked. Emma glared at him. "I'm kidding. You can always stay with me if you want."
Silence. Silence. they just stared at each out. Emma finally sighed and looked at the clock. "Don't have a choice now do I?" she said. Sean smiled and stood up.
"Alright come on then." He grabbed her bag and she followed him out the door.
