Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN DEGRASSI (even If I wanted I couldn't...but I'm asking Ryan Cooley for Christmas!)
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Oh yes, this chapter has Manny and Craig's P.O.V, try to guess which is Manny's and which is Craig's!
I drift away to a place
Another kind of life
Take away the pain
I create my paradise
Weekend, finally! Two days without dealing with all those immature kids, what am I saying? I'm the immature kid!...well this weekend Emma and I are going to this party, I don0t know who organized it, but, what the hell…you know, girls just wanna have fun, I need to get over Craig, and all these pain, maybe, he'll be there…maybe, just maybe…nah, what am I saying, I need to get over that guy, c'mon Manny!
Everything I've held
Has hit the wall
What used to be yours
Isn't yours at all
So…here's the situation, how can I explain it, well… I talked to Ellie, well, no, wait, don't think bad, she's my friend you know, after Ashley dumped me, I just felt alone, and she…she was like my lifeguard that came to save me, well, I talked to her about this whole thing with Manny, and she told me I don't have to give up, she told me that Manny still loved me, well she doesn't know it, but she says that she can see it, when Manny is around me, you know, walking with Emma time to time…she says I have to trust in her guts, well, if Ellie says it, I think I've got to trust in them. In the meantime I have to do something, hey I'll call Jimmy, that man is on a wheelchair but there's no party without Jimmy Brooks in it!
- Hey James!
- Craig, what's up? In addition of your love problems with Miss Santos?
- Funny, very funny, look man, I need to do something tonight, can you recommend me something?
- Well, as a matter of fact yes, there's something today, I was about to call you because this guy, I think Ryan is his name, is throwing a little gathering…
- Really, I'm so there
- Well, I guess I'll see you tonight, the address is 325 Madison Street
- Got it, see you tonight, bye
- Bye
Falling apart, and all that I'm asking
Is it a crime, am I overreacting
- Here we are-Emma said as we were inside Ryan's backyard
- Yeep-what was happening to me, I used to be in every party that I could be, and now I was uncomfortable of being in one of the hottest party ever?
- C'mon Manny, cheer up, today you are going to forget about Craig Manning, today it's you against the world!
I laughed, Emma was right; I needed to cheer
- So, what are we waiting for?
Oh, he's under my skin
Just give me something to get rid of him
I've got a reason now to bury this alive
Another little white lie
ONE HOUR LATER:
Okay, I need to accept it, Manny: Party Lover is dead, what happened to me, okay, at first I was okay, you know, dancing, and having fun, and then it was like someone has just pushed the button that said "off" inside me, I felt tired, bored…so now I'm here, in the street, sitting in the sidewalk, and Emma, who knows, I lost her the very first moment we walked to the dance floor
This party was BORING, okay, maybe it wasn't boring, 'cause everybody is dancing, but, I'm bored, I can't get Manny out of my mind…why, can someone tell me why?... If I remember correctly, when I proposed to Ashley I said to Joey that I couldn't believe how I could cheat her with Manny, well now I take back that, IF I could only be with Manny just for a sec…just of a moment
So what you had didn't fit
Among the pretty things
Never fear, never fear
I now know where you've been
Braids have been un-tied
As ribbons fall away
Leave the consequence
But my tears you'll taste
Manny was there, thinking, when a guy stood near her and started to flirt with her
- Hey babe, what's your name?
- Manny, and I'm it's not nice to meet you
- Why? You feel so lonely here, maybe you just need a real guy son you don't feel like this anymore
- What, I'm sorry, but I don't even know you
- I know you want to be with me, and I want it to…-he tried to kiss Manny, but she just kept pushing him off
- You don't understand a no for an answer, don't you?
- No, and I'm not going until you give me a kiss
- Well, if you don't go, I'll go.
- C'mon-he kissed her and she started to scream
- Get Out!-but the guy kept kissing her, and he didn't let her go-Help! -Manny screamed-Help! Please!
Craig was about to leave when he heard a girl screaming, he ran in order to help her, when he saw hat the girl in danger, he saw no other than Manny.
- You don't understand what get out means or I have to explain you!- Craig said approaching and screaming
- Who is He? Your rescuer? Ah!-Said the guy grabbing her arm and screaming
- I SAID, LEAVE HER!- Craig Screamed, then, punched the guy, starting a fight.
- Craig! Leave him! Craig!-Manny tried to break the two apart
- No- after that Craig grabbed the guy, punched him in the eye, the guy fell on the floor and Craig started kicking his stomach, until he was unconscious
- Craig, please stop!... please- Manny whispered, sobbing
- C'mon, lets go home-said Craig looking directly at her eyes
Falling apart and all that I question
Is this a dream or is this my lesson
Oh, he's under my skin
Just give me something to get rid of him
I've got a reason now to bury this alive
Another little white lie
I don't believe I'll be alright
I don't believe I'll be OK
I don't believe how you've thrown me away
I do believe you didn't try
I do blame you for every lie
When I look in your eyes, I don't see mine
After a long walk (I think they walked slow, 'cause they took long time to get to Emma's) there were in their destination, something that neither Craig, nor Manny wanted.
- So…- Craig said shyly
- Craig, thanks for all
- No problem, c'mon you're my friend, and that's what friends do, they help each other-he didn't know how, but something inside Craig said that Manny wouldn't feel weird if he said that
- Yeah, friends…-Manny said disappointed
- We are friends right?
- Yeah, yeah, sure-said Manny trying to convince Craig
- So I guess I'll se you later
- Yeah…I guess
Manny entered Emma's house, went to her bedroom and noticed she wasn't there; she closed the door, and started to cry…
Oh, he's under my skin
Just give me something to get rid of him
I've got a reason now to bury this alive
Another little white lie
Oh my permission to sin
You might have started my reckoning
I've got a reason now to bury him alive
Another little white lie
Here I am once again (like kelly Clarkson) well, here's chapter 3 with Alexz Johnson's song "Skin" I just loove that song, I think that and 24 hours are the best songs of Alexz (I am also a fan of Insant Star too... Jamie Rockz!) well, I hope you'll like this chapter, send me reviews! 'cause I LOVE THEM, oh BTW this is dedicated to all of those who sent me a review, you know who you are thanks for supporting this, oh yes, If you know a song that you like, and that would be great for this sotry, tell me what songs are, I'll try to put every song you'll send me, I hope you give me your suggestions! ( si son en español, tambien mandenmelas, tratare de traducirlas, ya que me gustaria poner al menos una cancion en español en esta historia, pero aun no se cual, ah pero nada de reggaeton (me gusta el reggaeton, pero noo creo que ese tipo de musica vaya en esta historia ¿no creen?)
See You Next Chapter!
