Early in the morning Jay and Emma showered and dressed nice for the house showings. Emma put on a midlength white skirt with a dark blue cami & white sandals. Jay put on nice jeans and a screened tee with a jacket over. They looked like they were married. Jay told Emma to not wake up Sean because he's bound to have a hang over. Jay and Emma went to the first apartment, hopeing for the best.


After 5 long hours of going across town and back they decided to rent a spacious 2 bedroom 2 bath loft like apartment. It was close to Degrassi which both of them frowned upon, but they'd get a break on gas. They were set to move in just 2 days. Tired and hungry Jay and Emma ate dinner and headed back to Sean's.

"Let's go shopping for furniture and stuff."

"Um..yeah good idea, tomorrow, how about IKEA?"

"I can't wait!" She leaned over and kissed Jay's cheek and layed her head on his shoulder as he drove them to Sean's.


Seans POV

Sean woke up around 4pm. He stumbled around the house to find Jay and Emma. They were gone. "So what they just use this as a place to sleep at night? They don't invite me to go with them anywhere!" He went to the fridge and opened a beer before eating something. He watched some TV and called up Deena.

"Hey Deena."

"Hi Sean."

"You wanna come over or something?"

"Hmm...sure. Hey is Emma going to be there?"

"Should be."

"I'll see you in an hour then."

"Later."


Sean had planned to make Emma jealous or something with Deena. Or make Jay show interest in Deena. Sean's mind was racing and he was acting like a mad man, he'd never been that sane after shooting Rick, or not shooting Rick. Yeah, that debate played out in his head like a hockey match. Sean finally took a shower and put on some jeans and a wife beater. His hair was shaved, but not completely bald, he had maybe half an inch of dark black hair. He was cute.


Jay and Emma finally arrived at Sean's, and to see Sean and Deena drinking in the living room. When Deena saw Emma she immediatly jumped up to give her a hug. Sean was bewildered and annoyed. "Sup Sean." Jay said nodding his head. Sean didn't say anything back. "Hey you alright man?" Sean took a deep breathe and said, "Yeah, sure." "Ok.."

"So Em and I found a place."

"Oh Emma that's awesome!" Deena said hugging her again. "Where at?"

"Our hometown, West Toronto."

"You know that's not my real home town?"

"No way!"

"Yeah, I'm from Montreal, Quebec."

"I had no clue, that's awesome! We have to go visit your family there sometime."

"Family? No...it was me and my.."

"Oh...I'm sorry...it's okay yeah um.." Emma got nervous, she hella didn't mean to mention his family. So she walked over to him and hugged him tight and kissed him on the lips. He held onto her and said, "Hey it's alright...you know..."

By now Sean was going nuts. "Deena...I'm still here you know!"

"Sorry..."

"Should be." He said taking a sip of his beer.

He tried to put his arm around Deena but Deena shrugged it off. She got up to go to the bathroom and checked to see how much she'd drinken, only like 3 small sips or something, because it was completely full.."What's her problem!" Sean sat there waiting for Deena to come back. When he heard laughter from his parents room he got up and saw Jay, Emma, and Deena sitting on the bed watching some stupid TV show laughing at it. "Leaving me out..."

"Sorry Sean."

"Yeah let's go watch it in the living room." Jay said getting up.

They all went to the living room. Emma sat on Jay's lap on an arm chair. Sean tried to get Deena to sit on his but she wouldn't budge from the corner, so he scooted close to her. Everytime she 'took a drink' Sean though she was pretending.

"Ok, I gotta go now, it's getting late, well not late. " She said laughing, "But my mum wants me home tonight."

"Bye Deena!" Emma said smiling.

"Later Deena. " Jay say with his eyes still glued on the TV.

"I'll walk you out." Sean got up and walked with her outside.


Outside Deena said thanks and was about to leave when Sean pinned her against the stair way. "How about a goodnight kiss?" His breathe reeked of beer. Deena shook her head and tried to get away. "What's your problem Deena!"

"You are my problem! Listen I came here to see Emma!" "What?"

"Yeah..just let me go okay you are freaking me out!"

"Shut up and give me just one goodnight kiss." He leaned in.

Deena spit in his face and Sean was about to hit her when the front door flew open. Jay stood there looking at Sean in disgust. Emma too. She was wide eyed and her jaw was to the floor. "Oh Deena!" She said as Jay grabbed Sean's raised arm and used it to push him down the stairs (there are only like 3 or 4). "Emma he's out of his mind!" Deena hugged Emma and Emma held her telling it's okay Jay will take care of him, and that she and Jay were leaving right away.

Jay helped Sean to his feet. "You're fucked up man. Check yourself into a rehab or something. You are lucky that hand didn't touch her. You oughta hear whatI did to this guy who raped...a girl I know. Fool was put in the hospital (Jay did have help though, but he left that out, and that it was Emma.). Sean got to his feet and went in the house.

"Deena are you okay?"

"Yeah.. I just want to go home..."

"Wait one second. Emma and I are going to hurry and get our things and leave. We'll give you a ride."

"Thank you. I'll wait in your car. Don't let Sean know I am waiting out here."

"It's okay Deena." Emma said going into the house.


Jay and Emma went to the back room and immediatly got all of their things together. Sean came in and said, "You're leaving?"

"You've changed Sean..and for the worst." Emma said.

"What about Jay! He steals ! He drinks! He-"

"Changed for the better." Emma said smiling. "Shore he has his ups and downs...but I love him."

"Ok this is it." Jay said to Emma.

"I..I can't believe this!" Sean said throwing his beer at the wall.

"Later Sean." Jay said letting Emma walk ahead of him as he followed.

They shut the door with a slam & Sean ran outside just to see them speed off, and with Deena inthe car.


Sean layed on the couch and wouldn't let himself cry. He decided he'd call Ellie, something he should have done along time ago. He shouldn't have let him lose touch with her so much.

(im not going to write about sean and ellie. i am just leaving it at that. maybe emma will talk to ellie later on in the story though..)


Jay and Emma checked into a sleezy motel, because it was cheap and close to Deena's. They got a blanket from Deena's house and slept on the floor of the motel curled up to eachother because the bed was hellish.


I'll write more soon! you guys are so nice and are really helping me with my story! thank you for reading. and i am having a lot of fun writing this too.
