A/N: Sorry about the spelling! My microsoft word wasn't working, so I had to use wordpad (which doesn't have any spellcheck).

Sean's POV

When I came home, I did it . One major change-I colored my hair. It was quite a shocker for me and my parents, but this is the new me. People are gonna have to deal with it. That night, I talked to my parents about leaving. And they hated it. Did they seriously think that i'm happy living here? Cleaning up empty vodka bottles, getting beer for dad out of the fridge. So that night I ran away. I took everything with me-all my clothes, everything. I'm gone for good. And there's nothing they can do about it.

So now i'm sitting in a train and wondering what it would be like to see everyone again. To see Ellie. I know I still love her, and I feel really bad about leaving her, but I needed to be with my parents. I wonder if she ever thinks about me, like I think about her? I dont think she would. With my luck, she probbably has a new boyfriend. Is it that wrong that i've thought about her almost every day since we last saw each other? God, I miss her.

When I finally got to Toronto, it was almost noon. It was so weird, walking in T.O again. I walked almost 5 blocks to our apartment building. I wonder if Mr. Martin would remember me, and even if he did, it would soon change as soon as he saw the color of my hair. Suprisingly, he did remember me.

"Hey Sean, your back?" he greeted me.

"Hi Mr. Martin, yeah i'm back. I've been doing a lot of thinking, and i've decided that this is where I need to be."

"Well, that's great. Your here just in time, too. I was gonna rent your old apartment to a young couple, but at the last minute, they changed their minds."

"Oh, I thought Ellie was living here?" I said, as he guided me down to the apartment.

"No, she moved out about a month ago. She's living back with her mom now. Well, here you go, just like you left it."

"Thanks Mr. Martin." I said stepping inside.

"No problem. So we'll fix the paper work later?" he asked.

"Yeah, sure."

I looked around the apartment. It really did look how I left it. Except cleaner. Ellie was always the one who kept this apartment clean. Another thing popped into my mind, I had to register at Degrassi. I didn't go during school hours, because who knows what kind of rumors that would start, I went after school. And that's when I saw it. The hall that Rick died in. I felt sick to my stomach, but when I remembered my other alternative, going back to Wasaga, it calmed things down a bit.

Ellie's POV

I walked into Degrassi and was greeted by Paige and her spirit squad. It's not like me and Paige are enemies, or anything, it's just that we don't really share many interests. I was wondering how I was going to survive this year. Everybody's leaving me. First Sean, now Ash. Soon it will probbably be Marco. Am I running out of friends? Oh well, theres only one more year of school anyways.

I stepped into my first period class - english with Ms. Kwan. She always bores me to death and it suprises me how I have her for english every year. I'm kinda relieved though, because as much as I don't pay attention in her class, I always do well on her tests. Her tests are so rediculously simple, that even a second grader can pass them.

Finally, one school day down, about a bazzilion left to go.
