Chapter 26

Ok so I'm posting again. YAY…I'm starting to post more! Go me, haha. Oh and before I start I wanted to thank Tammywammy for the review! It's nice to know that someone actually thinks my story is the best: P So thanks I'm glad you like it! And Ruby, yes Craig is a TOTAL sex maniac! But of course that's part of the Craig Manning charm! Well this part in the story will take place a week after the last post. And let's just say it's a Friday. And Emma has gotten a court order for her to appear for the sexual assault charges she pressed against Derrick. But she hadn't told anyone about it yet. She had decided on her own that she was over it and didn't want to bring it up again. She decided that she wasn't going to go. And she didn't tell anyone because she knew they'd try to change her mind. But she just kept telling herself that she was over it.

Scene-DCS. Free Period. Alex, Emma, and Ellie are all sitting outside the school on the stairs. Craig and Jay are sitting on the picnic tables over by the basketball court. Both groups can see each other and are obviously talking about the other group.

"I just can't believe him!" Ellie said staring at Craig coldly.

"Yeah I know, I can't believe he hasn't talked to you in a week! Why's the moron ignoring? Did you do something wrong?" Alex asked while filing her nails, trying to avoid Jay's stare.

Emma rolled her eyes at Alex's remark.

"No of course not! He just stopped talking to me after that awkward day at lunch when I left. And he won't return my calls. I tried talking to him in the hall earlier but he just ignored me!" Ellie snapped.

"Whoa, El no need to be all pissy to Alex. She just asked." Emma said looking up from her magazine.

Ellie sighed.

"I know, I'm sorry Lex. It's just that I'm really upset about this whole fight thing. What if I'm right? What if we just had too much sex and that's just not enough for him anymore? What if he wants to dump me?" Ellie said starting to cry.

"El, I'm sure that's not it. Just…when you left the café the other day Alex asked what that was all about. And then Craig said she's mad at me. And he looked really sad. So maybe he just thinks you're mad at him." Emma said patting her on the shoulder.

Ellie wiped away her tears and sighed.

"Maybe."

Scene- Craig and Jay's picnic table. Craig just got done explaining the whole thing to Jay.

"And I ignored her earlier."

Jay rolled his eyes.

"Craig incase I've never told you before, let me tell you now. You are a fucking moron! Why don't you just go talk to her? So she didn't want to sit with you one day at lunch. Big deal! She was probably just PMSing or something. What makes you think she's going to dump you?" Jay asked before taking a drink of his coke.

Craig rolled his eyes.

"Because the signs are all there. Something's wrong, I can tell. But she hasn't told me what it is! It's got to be that she wants to break up with me! Maybe if I ignore her, she won't." Craig said sadly.

"Well you haven't exactly given her a chance to tell you what's wrong, now have you? And even if you do ignore her so she doesn't break up with you, that'll backfire anyways. Because she'll think you want to break up with her and then you'll both end it thinking the other one wanted to break up. But really neither of you did!" Jay said sneaking a quick peak at Alex.

Craig sighed.

"I guess you're right."

"Look, Ellie's crying. And it's probably over you. So just go over and talk to her already!" Jay said pushing him off the bench.

Scene-Back to Ellie, Alex, and Emma.

"Here comes Craig. Maybe he'll want to talk." Emma said putting her magazine back in her bag.

"Hey, El. Can we talk?" Craig said shyly sitting next to her.

"Sure." Ellie whispered wiping away her silent tears.

"Well I'm going to go see Sean in shop. See you guys later." Emma said getting up and walking back into the school.

"Yeah and I'm going to go do something that needs to be done." Alex whispered, knowing that no one was listening. She sighed and started walking towards Jay.

Scene- DCS shop room. Sean is in the back of the shop room, which is the car garage. He's got his head underneath the front hood. Emma walks in and looks around. She sees that they're alone. She walks up behind him.

"So does this car have a huge backseat?" She whispered seductively in his ear. She laughed when his head hit the top of the hood. That's just the reaction she was looking for.

"OW! That hurt! Don't sneak up on me like that woman!" He said playfully while standing up straight and turning to look at her.

She giggled.

"I'm ever so sorry sir." Emma said sarcastically.

"Yeah well you shall pay!" Sean said before picking Emma up and carrying her towards the backseat of the car.

Emma giggled again.

"Oh well I guess I'll just have to pay then!" She said as he gently put her back on the ground.

"Guess so." He whispered before leaning over and kissing her.

He happily sighed into the kiss when she didn't flinch or pull back, but yet deepened the kiss. Ever since last week when she's let him kiss her and touch her he'd made sure she was comfortable whenever they kissed. So he let her make the first move. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. He put his hands around her small waist and pulled her even closer than she was. Emma felt like she was going to loose control. She didn't think she'd be ready to take the next step so soon. But right now she wasn't thinking about Derrick. Her body wasn't reflexing or pushing Sean away. The only thing she could think about was Sean. And the only thing she felt were his kisses. His wonderful, soft, passionate, loving kisses. And the only thing she wanted to do was let him make love to her. She pulled away breathless.

"Is something wrong?" Sean whispered looking at her.

"Absolutely nothing." Emma whispered back opening the door to the car's backseat.

She turned away from Sean and climbed in.

"Em what are you doing?" He said looking in at her.

"Come here." She whispered taking his hand and pulling him in the backseat with her.

Sean climbed in and shut the door behind him.

"Em what the he…" Emma pulled him into a deep kiss before he could get the whole sentence out.

When she pulled away she looked straight in his eyes as she unzipped his hoodie and pulled it off his shoulders.

"Um Em…what are you doing?" He said as he stopped her hands with his own.

"I'm moving on Sean." She said as she tried to continue what she was doing before.

"Whoa, Em slow down. Are you sure you're ready for this. Cause up until a week ago we couldn't even have a heated make out session without you flinching. And now…this…isn't it just too fast?" He asked, his voice filled his concern.

"I don't know Sean. I mean I didn't think I'd be ready to take it to the next step for a long time. But…lately…I've just…I haven't been getting any flashbacks. I can finally sleep normally again without having terrifying dreams. And I can finally let you kiss me and touch me without flinching. And I'm just ready to put this all behind me Sean. (Sean gave her a look) It's not like I feel like I have to prove something to myself. I just…I want to do this Sean. And I can do this." She told him looking straight in his eyes to let him know that everything really was ok.

Sean sighed.

"Ok…but if you start having flashbacks or if things start to get uncomfortable…please just let me know." He said, this time looking straight in her eyes to let her know that he didn't want her to be uncomfortable.

"Ok, I promise." She whispered before kissing him again. This time he didn't stop her as she pulled his hoodie all the way off.

Scene-Ellie and Craig on the DCS steps.

Craig sighed and looked over at her.

"El, what's going on? Do you want to break up with me?" He said sadly not looking at her face, scared of what he might see.

"What? Of course not! Where'd you get that idea?" She said putting her hand on his shoulder.

"Well that one day you didn't sit with me at lunch and things had been weird with you for a while. I just figured it was your silent way of letting me know something was wrong." He said looking up at her.

Ellie sighed sadly.

"Well something is wrong…but I don't want to break up with you! Is that why you've been ignoring me this past week?"

"Yeah, I just thought that if we didn't talk then you wouldn't have the chance to break up with me. I needed time to try and figure out what it was I did so I could fix it before you did break up with me."

"Craig, I love you too much to break up with you. And even if I did I sure as hell wouldn't just not tell you about it!"

"I know El…I guess I was just scared. I'm sorry." He said taking her hand.

Ellie smiled.

"I'm sorry too. If I would have just told you what was wrong then none of this would have ever happened." Ellie whispered before squeezing his hand.

"So then what is wrong El? You know you can tell me anything." He said silently praying that her dad didn't get relocated and that she would be moving half way across the world.

"It's just…lately Craig all we ever do is have sex. We can't do anything without that getting in the way. We never just watch movies anymore, or cuddle, or just go to the Dot for a date. We're always around other people and when we're not we're screwing. And it's just…not the way it used to be. Is sex really all you want Craig? Cause if it is…then this relationship…it's just…not going to work." Ellie said sucking back a sob.

Craig sighed sadly before moving his hand to her cheek.

"Is that really what you think? I mean yeah, sex is…amazing. Especially with you. But that's not all I want! I love you so much Ellie! Please don't think that. If…if it'll make you feel better than we won't have sex anymore. We'll go on dates and stuff like we use to. I promise…just please don't end this. Please. I can live without it really. I love you too much to let sex ruin out relationship!" Craig said sincerely looking into her eyes.

Ellie smiled.

"Thanks for understanding Craig." She whispered before pulling him into a hug.

"Of course, just promise me that next time you won't be so scared to talk to me." Craig whispered in her ear.

"I promise."

Scene-Picnic table Jay is sitting at. Alex has just walked up.

"Hey, is this seat taken?"

Jay looked up at her and smiled.

"It is now." He said sliding over and patting the bench.

Alex smiled before sitting down.

"Things are so screwed up lately." She whispered, not looking at him.

Jay sighed.

"I know, first us…then the thing with Em, and now this weirdo Ellie and Craig stuff." He said staring into space just like Alex was.

"Yeah…well Emma seems to be doing better. And from the looks of Ellie and Craig's tonsil hockey they seem to be doing better." Alex said laughing at the sight of Ellie and Craig passionately making out on the steps.

Jay looked over and laughed.

"Yep…everything seems to be going fine for everyone…except us." Jay said looking at her this time.

Alex sighed sadly.

"Yeah…I know. Look, Jay…what you did…it's just…it's unforgivable. But I told you I'd be willing to give you another chance because I love you. And it's going to take a long time to earn back all the trust that you lost when you cheated on me."

"I know Alex. That's why I've been trying to be your friend first. I've been trying to earn it all back. And I know it'll take a long time. And I'm willing to accept that." He said looking into her eyes once again.

Alex smiled.

"I know. And I know that you've done a lot of growing up in the past few months. I guess what I'm trying to say is…Jay I want us…I want us back. I want us to go back to the way things were."

Jay smiled.

"You mean…"

"Yeah, I want us to get back together!"

Jay smiled wider and pulled her into a hug.

"This doesn't mean I completely forgive you, you know?" Alex said smirking as she pulled back from the hug and pulled him into a kiss.

After a few minutes he pulled back.

"I know."

Scene-DCS Shop Garage. Backseat of a random car Sean is fixing. Sean's now shirtless. And Emma is too. Sean moves his up her stomach and rests it right below her bra. Sean's kissing her neck and she's sighing in content.

"You're so sexy." He whispered in her ear.

Emma started to giggle but stopped when a flashback came into her mind.

"You're so sexy." Derrick harshly whispered at her while he forced her onto the bed. She screamed and tried to defend herself as he ripped at her clothing.

"NO!" Emma screamed before pushing Sean off of her and sitting up.

"Em? Em, it's ok it's me." He whispered scared to touch her.

"I told him to stop…but he wouldn't Sean. He just kept hitting me and pulling at my clothes. He just…wouldn't stop." She whispered before collapsing in Sean's lap and crying into his chest.

"I know Em. I know. It's ok. It'll all be alright." Sean said trying to comfort her.

"I'm sorry Sean, I thought I was ready. But I'm not." She mumbled into his chest.

"Em, it's ok. I told you we didn't have to do this." He said pulling her head up and wiping away some of her tears.

"I know. I just…I thought I was over it. But I'm not…and I won't be until he pays for what he did to me. I'm…I'm going through with the charges. I'm going to court on Monday. I'm going to make him pay." Emma said sucking in her tears and taking a deep breath.

"I knew you'd go through with it!" Sean said smiling at her.

"What? But how did you even know I'd gotten the court notice?" She asked confused.

"Um Em, you left it lying out on your desk…visible for anyone to read. I saw it when I was in your room waiting for you to get ready to go to the Dot last weekend. I saw it lying there and I read it. So I put the puzzle together in my head. But I knew you'd eventually go through with it."

"How'd you know I'd go through with it?"

Sean smiled.

"Cause you're Emma Nelson…and you can do anything. And sometimes Emma Nelson gets scared and runs away from her problems…but in the end she never backs down from what she believes in. And in the end she always does what's right." Sean said as he put his hand on her cheek.

Emma smiled.

"Will you go with me and my mom Sean? Will you be there fighting through it with me?" She whispered.

Sean smiled back at her.

"I'll always be there."

Ok so what do you think? R&R and let me know! Oh and I wanted to tell all of my readers about a new Semma that I've been working on. It's about the summer before season four. It's when Sean has to work on Simpson's car and things start to heat up for he and Emma again. But when Ellie's cutting gets in the way…what will happen? Well here's a preview of it. Let me know if you think I should post it.

---

What ever REALLY happened during the summer when Sean had to work on Simpson's car? Who's to say Emma and Sean never rekindled their heat. We all know that their kiss in White Wedding was the most intense moment on Degrassi, so says the-n. And we all know their "cleaning the ravine" scene won best make out. They're the couple that's had the most break ups and make ups all through out Degrassi history. What if Emma and Sean apologized for what happened and decided to become friends again? Who's to say Sean isn't the lonely mechanic and that Emma isn't the other woman? If I were in the same situation…I'm not sure I could watch someone as hot as Sean work all day long, shirtless, sweating, and in the summer heat without grabbing him and kissing him…irregardless of what he may have done. So with this story, we'll travel back to the summer after season 3. We'll add in the passionate summertime affair that Degrassi overlooked. And we'll change Degrassi character's lives forever.

So what do you think? Should I post it?
