"Ellie, hey."
"What?" She said looking over Craig's shoulder, only to see Sean Cameron.
"Oh my god, Sean." Ellie said to herself before stepping away from Craig and walking over to Sean.
"Sean, hi." She said confused as he pulled her into a hug.
"Hi Ellie, Craig." He said waving at Craig who begrudgingly walked over to both of them, he had gotten so close with Ellie.
"Hi Sean, long time no see." Craig said.
"I know, I just got back a couple hours ago." Sean said.
"So uh what are you doing here exactly?" Ellie asked him.
"Hey, um I gotta get home so I'll see you guys around." Craig said before walking away quickly.
"He's acting a little weird." Sean said.
"Um yeah… anyways Sean back to my question what exactly are you doing here?" She asked him again.
"You want to take a walk first?" He asked her.
Ellie stared at him for a few seconds and then nodded her head yes.
Ellie and Sean were walking along a sidewalk in a park.
"So, to answer your question, I think I just got tired of being with my parents." Sean said.
"So you just pack up and leave? Seems to be the pattern with you." Ellie said rolling her eyes a little.
"Ellie, I'm sorry. I've been sorry everyday that I left you and if you want to know the truth you're the main reason I came back." Sean said.
Ellie stopped walking "whoa, that's surprising." Ellie said.
"Why? I do still love you Ell." He said.
"You didn't find some hot blonde on the beach?" She asked him.
Sean laughed a little "no, I was hung up on you for most of the time." Sean said.
"Me too." Ellie said "I mean I was hung up on you, not myself." She added.
"Good, so you're not like dating Craig?" He asked her.
"Dating Craig? No, why would you think that?" She asked him starting to walk again and he started after her.
"You guys were kind of close when I came in." Sean said.
"We're friends Sean, that's it." She said stopping again and looking him in the eyes.
"I missed you Ellie." Sean said taking her hands into his.
"Uh, I missed you too." She said hesitantly.
Sean moved closer to her and placed his hands on her waist before softly pressing his lips against hers momentarily before she pulled away.
"Sean..." She said and Sean cut her off.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have done that." He said.
"Just because I missed you doesn't mean that I didn't move on" Ellie said looking down at her feet.
"Are you dating someone?" He asked her.
"No, but I might like someone." She said.
"Well just so you know I never moved on while we were apart." He said.
"Are you trying to make me feel guilty about liking someone else after you kicked me to the curb?" She asked him starting to get angry.
"No, Ellie that's not it at all. I'm just saying you're the only girl for me, and if you ever feel like forgiving me then I'm here to be forgiven. I guess." He said.
"Thanks." She said after some silence "and sorry for snapping at you."
"I deserved it." Sean said.
"Let's just take this slow Sean. I don't think we can just be like we used to but maybe we can try friendship or something." She said.
"That's fine. I'll take anything." He said.
"Ok well I have to go, but we'll hang out sometime or something." She said.
"Good. Hey can friends hug?" He asked her.
She paused for a moment to make him squirm. "I guess." She said smiling as he pulled her into a hug.
"I really did miss you Ellie." He said wishing he could kiss her.
"Well I missed you to Sean." She said a bit reluctantly, she hadn't meant to give in this quickly.
"sooo, Ellie what happened with you and Sean?" Marco asked her as they walked down the halls of Degrassi to class.
"Hm well, we talked, he kissed me and then I said we should just be friends." Ellie said quickly then looked at a somewhat confused Marco "yep that just about sums it up."
"Wow, Ellie that's pretty crazy." Marco said running his hands through his hair.
"Oh and did I mention that Sean walked in on me and Craig about to kiss?" Ellie asked him.
Marco stopped walking from shock "no, Ellie, that's pretty major." Marco said grabbing her arm to stop her too.
"Yeah I don't know." Ellie said.
"I thought you liked Craig." Marco said.
"I do, but… um… I'm just confused." She said trying to walk away but Marco stopped her again.
"Wait, its Sean isn't it?" He asked her.
Ellie stood in silence for a few seconds before saying "um maybe, but there might be someone else too." Ellie said.
"Three guys? Jeez that could pose a problem." Marco said.
"Ugh, Sean made everything so much more complicated." Ellie said.
"Well you did tell him that you just wanted to be friends." Marco said.
"Yeah but again I'm not sure if I meant it. God Marco I don't even know what I mean anymore." Ellie said leaning against the nearest locker.
"I'm sure somewhere in your heart there's a place for all of them, but the question is which one do you want to be with?"
"Oh my god, I hate life." Ellie said looking down and laughing a little in sarcasm.
"Whatever, miss drama queen let's get you to class" Marco said smiling and pushing her forward.
"What would I do without you Marco?" Ellie asked him.
"I don't know but the third person is Jimmy right?" He asked her.
"Ugh, yes." She admitted.
"I knew it." Marco said smiling.
Craig was walking to his next class flipping through his history book because he didn't do his homework the night before. He wasn't looking when he walked straight into Paige.
"Um whoa." Paige said steadying herself.
"I'm really sorry Paige." Craig said looking a bit flustered.
"Oh, it's ok Hun." Paige said regaining her composure "Actually I have a question for you." She said.
"Go right ahead." Craig said.
"Have you talked to Spinner lately?" She asked him.
"Um no not really, why?" He asked her.
"Oh never mind it doesn't matter, well see ya." Paige said and started to walk away.
"Hey wait up a second." Craig said running to catch up with her.
"Yeah?"
"Um if some girl's old boyfriend comes into town and like wants her back do you think that she would take him back?" Craig asked her.
"Depends on the situation, are we talking about someone in particular here?" She asked him
"Maybe." Craig said.
"Well listen, Hun, I can't really answer your question unless I know what we're dealing with." She said.
"Ok, if you must know its Ellie." Craig said "and normally I would ask Ellie about girl problems or whatever, but I can't exactly do that now so that's why I'm asking you." Craig said.
"Oh, well I'm always glad to help a friend. So this means that Sean's back in town?" She assumed.
"Yeah, just got here yesterday and interrupted Ellie and I about to kiss."
"No way! I didn't know you guys were that close." Paige said.
"I guess we are." Craig said "I think I might have blown it though."
"Ok, this is potentially a problem, but all I can suggest to you is to talk to her and tell her how you feel." Paige said.
"I'm pretty sure she knows how I feel after yesterday." Craig said rolling his eyes a little.
"Well that's good. If she wants you then she won't leave you for Sean. But still I would talk to her if I were you; anyway I really have to go I'm late for history. Um yeah we have history together so that means you're late too." She said.
"Right, yeah we should go." Craig said.
Ellie was standing outside after school looking out into the parking lot. She felt
Someone's hand on her back and she turned around to see Jimmy.
"Jimmy hi." She smiled.
"Hey." He said back.
"So what's up?" She asked him.
"Not much, I uh heard Sean's back in town." Jimmy said trying to sound nonchalant.
"Ooh, yeah. He got back yesterday." Ellie said.
"Is that… I mean are you ok with that or whatever?" He asked her feeling stupid.
"Yes and no. I actually really have no idea but I guess I'll just have to wait and see how it all turns out." She said.
"So you two aren't back together?" Jimmy asked her.
"Oh, no that's not on my agenda anytime soon." Ellie said.
"Well that's good, because I wanted to give you a basketball lesson." Jimmy said smiling and waiting for Ellie's reaction.
"No way, Jimmy I can't play basketball to save my life." Ellie said.
"Come on, if I could teach Toby then I can teach you." Jimmy said.
"I don't know." Ellie said looking down.
"Come on." He said shaking her shoulders a little bit "you know you want to."
"One condition Brooks." She said pointing an accusing finger at him.
"Alright and what is that?" he asked her.
"No laughing at my skills, or lack there of I mean." She said.
"Ok I'll try." He said.
"Jimmy!" She hit him playfully.
"Alright, ok you can trust me." He said "come on my cars over there."
Jimmy and Ellie arrived at a small basketball court in the same park that Ellie had walked with Sean in yesterday.
"Ok now what?" Ellie asked Jimmy with no emotion in her voice.
Jimmy laughed to himself "Ellie it's not your death." Jimmy said.
Ellie stared at him for a second "ok give me the ball." She said in a 'prove you wrong' tone.
"Alright." He said bouncing her the ball and she picked it up and threw it towards what she had thought would be the basket but it ended up going slightly to the left of the backboard.
"You were saying?" She asked him after she took the shot.
"Ok that wasn't the best shot I've ever seen." Jimmy said running and picking the ball up "but I've seen worse still"
"Jimmy, I can't do this." Ellie said pouting.
"Look just stand straight, bring your shoulders back… here." Jimmy said standing behind her and bringing his arms around her so that his hands were over hers on the ball.
"Ready?" he asked her.
"Whenever you are." She said smiling.
The two of them bent their knees a little and took a shot which went in.
"Perfect." Jimmy said softly before snapping back to reality and stepping away from Ellie.
There was a sort of uncomfortable silence that came up between them.
"Now uh try that by yourself." Jimmy said passing her the ball again.
"Ok here goes, nothing." She said throwing the ball up again and this time it actually went in.
"Wow, good job." Jimmy said actually very surprised.
"I think that one rivaled the famous Jimmy's perfect shot." She said smiling to herself.
"Oh really?" He said walking over to her "let's not get too sure of ourselves." He said
"You make a shot in then." She said.
"Ok." He picked up the ball off the ground and got ready but then Ellie tried to steal the ball away from him.
"Hey." He said trying to get away from her for a clear shot to the basket but she was a pretty good guard. Finally he made a swift move past her and did a lay up.
"Oh yeah, beat that Miss Nash." He said putting his hands up in a 'beat me' gesture.
"Fine I will." She said taking the ball and going back to shoot but this time Jimmy guarded her.
"Uh not fair, you're like taller than me." She said trying to get pass him while dribbling the ball which she wasn't very good at.
"You did it to me." He said blocking her every move. Ellie stopped dribbling the ball and tried running with it.
"Cheating." He said and picked her up as she screamed and he spun her around in the air.
"Jimmy, oh my god put me down." She said not able to help the smile that had spread across her face.
"Promise not to cheat?" He asked her.
"Yes, yeah whatever." She said.
"Alright." He said setting her back on the ground.
"Way to give me a heart attack." She said smiling and pushing him jokingly.
"You were in the air for like two seconds." He said.
"Ok well it was a very scary two seconds." She said not knowing what else to say.
"Come on let's keep playing." he said.
Jimmy dropped Ellie off at her house and she walked up to her porch where she saw Sean sitting there.
"Hey." He said.
"What are you doing here Sean?" She asked him.
"Just wanted to see if you wanted to hang out." He said.
"Um I have a lot of homework…"
"Oh then it's ok. Your busy that's fine. I'll just go." Sean said looking down and starting to leave.
"Sean, we could go grab a bite to eat." She said feeling bad.
"Ok, that'd be great." He said smiling.
"I need to go inside and grab some money and a jacket. Wanna come?" She asked him.
"Um I'm kind of scared of your mom actually."
"Oh, right, actually she's doing a lot better with the alcohol and stuff but I get your point. I'll be right back." She said running up the steps and into her house.
"Mom?" She yelled into the house, she dropped her backpack by the door and looked around for her mom.
"Mom?" She yelled again. She walked into the living room and saw her mom sitting in the kitchen.
"Hey mom I'm going to go get something to eat with a friend." She said not wanting to mention Sean at the moment, she just wanted to leave.
"No your not." Her mom muttered.
"What? Why?" Ellie asked her walking towards her mom and as she got closer she saw that her mom's face was tearstained.
"What's wrong mom?" She asked her starting to get worried.
"It's about your father Ellie."
"What happened?" Ellie asked her mom feeling her stomach start to tighten.
"It's not good."
