Ellie walked into Sean's hospital room a little nervous. She knew deep down in her gut that something bad was going to happen even if it wasn't mean to be that way. When she walked over to Sean's bed he looked at her straight in the eyes and was about to say something but then stopped. After a few minutes of silence he got the courage to speak to her.

"Ellie I love you and you know that right?" Sean said nervously.

"I love you too Sean. But what's this about? You were talking to Emma for over two hours and then she came out with a happy yet depressed look on her face and told me you wanted to talk. It's bad isn't it?" Ellie said.

"Ellie I don't know how to put this without you getting upset with me but here it goes. When you saw me cutting it wasn't because I was dealing with a terrible problem like you and how your mom drinks. It was because of Emma. I know it sounds weird but let me explain first before you say anything." Sean said waited for a response.

"Go on." Ellie said.

"Okay well over the summer I kept thinking about Emma. I was having nightmares about the shooting and how I didn't save her. Then I would have dreams about her and I was constantly thinking about her and not you. I'm not sure why. Well I figured the dreams and nightmares were trying to explain something to me so I invited Emma up to Wasaga Beach for a week so I could see if they meant anything. They did but they didn't. You and I weren't exactly going out so I kissed her a bunch of times to see if I still felt the same towards her. I did at times and then others I didn't. When I came back to Degrassi she was the only one who knew about it because I couldn't get a hold of you…" Sean said and then paused. "Emma was ignoring me and I didn't know why. And then that outbreak in the hall the other day when she fell was because she saw us kissing. After you went to class I asked her what was wrong. She told me all this stuff about how she changed because she wanted a guy and everything. Then she said that the guy she wanted wouldn't want her and a whole bunch of other stuff. When I asked why she told me that the guy she wanted wouldn't want her because he was just playing tonsil hockey with his girlfriend in front of her. After that she ran off. The guy she wanted was me. I left her a note in her locker explaining that I loved you and that I could never love her. It was really mean. Then she wrote me one which was why I cut myself. She told me that she never loved and that she said it to see if I would believe it and I did. Then she called me poor and pathetic. Oh and then she wrote some really harsh lyrics in the letter. I was so mad at her. It was then that I realized I made a mistake and that I loved you but I wasn't in love with you. Ellie I'm in love with Emma and I always have been. I'm so sorry." Sean said.

When Sean finished talking Ellie had tears in her eyes and wouldn't even look at him. Sean wanted her to say something but he wasn't going to push it. Finally Ellie spoke.

"Sean I am upset about this don't get me wrong. But I understand. I am glad you wanted to break up. Well that is what you want right?" Ellie asked. Sean just nodded his head.

"Okay well good because I love you too but I'm not in love with you. I still really like Marco a lot. It's weird. But I'm glad that we spent this time together because it got me to realize that I do have people who care about me and want to see me get better with the cutting. Truth is Sean at times I would cut when we were going out because the way you looked at Emma sometimes made me think you still liked her. I guess you do. It doesn't bother me much though. Well anymore it doesn't. But promise me that we will always be friends. I need and I want to be friends Sean." Ellie said looking into Sean's eyes.

"We will always be friends Ellie. I am so glad that you understand this. I think that if I wasn't in the hospital right now you would bit my head off but hey good thing I am." Sean said laughing a little.

Ellie bent down to give him a hug. "Sean I'm glad this worked out well for us. You're a great person and if I didn't have you as a boyfriend then I think I would be dead right now. You really showed me that people care about me. Thank you." And then she left.

Sean sat in his hospital bed really happy. Ellie understood everything Sean said and how he wanted to break up. Sean got Emma back and he couldn't be happier than ever about that. Everything was going great. But that's just what he thinks. Once he gets out of the hospital he will be really surprised and a little shocked.

Hmm let me know what you think should happen in the next chapter(s). If anyone has an idea of what Sean should be surprised about email me because if I use your idea and you post it on this site then everyone will know what it is. I have one thing in mind but I have to think of a way to have it work.
