Ok I know it's been taking me forever to update but like I said I'm working on another story right now, which should be up soon on this site. In the last chapter, I never said what happened to everyone else while Emma was being examined so that's what this chapter is going to be about.

Chapter 24

Scene-By the Hospital Vending Machines. Alex went to get her Ellie and Craig something to drink. No one else wanted anything. Jay followed her, hoping to talk about what happened earlier in the night. Alex put in some money and pressed a button when Jay came up behind her.

"Hey."

"Hey." Alex said trying not to cry.

"So about what happened earlier…"

A Dr. Pepper falls out of the pop machine. Alex takes it out of the slot and holds it in her hand. Alex puts in more money and presses another button.

"Yeah…" Alex said sucking in her tears.

"Look I think we need to talk about it." Jay told her.

Another Dr. Pepper falls out of the machine. Alex picks it up and puts in more money and presses another button.

"Why?" Alex said trying to hint to Jay that she definitely did NOT want to talk about it.

"Lexxi, we just had sex a few hours ago!" Jay said trying not to sound too upset.

Another Dr. Pepper falls out of the machine. Alex takes it out of the slot and then turns to face Jay for the first time in the conversation.

"I know, Jay. And it was a mistake. I told you that we weren't going to get back together…at least not yet…not until you have time to think about what you did and what you lost!"

"I know Lex, and I'm sorry…you know that! And—"Jay tried to say but Alex cut him off.

"But nothing, ok? It was just break up sex. That's the way I look at it anyways."

"But Alex I love you!"

"I love you too Jay. But it's over between us. You cheated on me. You betrayed me. And you lost my trust and respect that I ever had for you. I'm not saying never…but just not right now. Goodbye Jay." Alex said before sucking in her tears and walking back into the waiting room. Jay stood outside the door watching Alex plaster on a fake smile and give Craig and Ellie their Dr. Peppers. Jay sucked in his emotion as well. But he didn't have to plaster on a smile because, let's face it, Jay doesn't smile…at least not that much.

Scene-Bathrooms. Ashley just came out of the girl's bathroom and literally ran into Jimmy on his way out of the boy's bathroom.

"Oh sorry Ash."

"It's ok."

"So…uh…how long are we going to pretend like nothing happened?" Ashley asked looking up into Jimmy's eyes.

"I don't know Ash. I mean we had sex tonight. And…I have a girlfriend…well I did anyways…" Jimmy said.

"Yeah, I know. I mean you said you and Hazel were 'on a break' but that doesn't mean that you're officially broken up. And I get that. We just got carried away."

"Yeah, I know. We definitely got carried away. But I missed you Ash. I missed 'US'."

"I know Jimmy. I missed you too…and us. But we just can't do this. Hazel is my friend and we can't do this to her. No matter how much we want a relationship."

"I know Ash, but Hazel and I have been fighting so much lately. And I've always loved you Ashley."

"I've always loved you too."

Ashley leaned up and kissed Jimmy.

"Look Ash, I'm going to break up with Hazel, ok? I want to be with you."

Ashley smiled.

"Good. And I'm going to officially break up with Ali and move back to Degrassi. Because I've always wanted to be with you Jimmy."

Jimmy smiled. He leaned down and kissed Ashley again.

They both felt complete. Neither of them had felt that way in a long time…..
