"Craig…where are you taking me?…." Ellie was in the passenger seat of Craig's car. Craig was still driving, unaware of where he was going. Should he take Ellie home…no…this would make things worse with her mom…she'd see Ellie following in her footsteps and that would get her down…And then, it wouldn't be a problem if Ellie didn't go home, she spent a lot of her time out of the house and her mom was already use to her absence...but would Joey mind if he took Ellie home…drunk?
"He's just going to have to deal!"
Craig pulled up to the driveway and looked up at the house. No lights, no one home. He got out of the car and went to the other side to take Ellie out.
"Craig…"
"Put your arms around my neck Ellie and hold on," Craig said to her. He walked to the front door, got his key out of his pocket, and unlocked the door. After he closed the door and locked it, he went up the stairs and into his room.
"It's so dark Craig…"
He laid Ellie on his bed. She turned and stretched out across his bed.
"Hum…this is comfy…goodnight…" Ellie closed her eyes and Craig could hear her soft breaths. He looked at her beautiful face as she slept…she looked like an angel. Craig caressed her cheek softly. "Goodnight Ellie," Craig whispered and he laid beside her.
"Manny, Manny what happened?" Emma asked her as she saw Manny cry hysterically on the floor. They were getting lots of stares but Emma didn't care, she wanted to know what was wrong with her friend and she wanted to help her. "Manny!"
Sean stuck his hand out for Manny to take but she didn't see it.
"Emma…Emma…he broke up with me…Craig broke up with me!"
"Manny…come on get up…lets go talk about it."
"Here, I'll help you," Sean said. Manny still didn't look up.
"What's there to talk about Em…Craig dumped me!"
"Manny...it's going to be okay-"
"No! I want to leave! I want to be alone!" Manny got up and ran away.
"Oh no, Manny!"
"I'll go after her and try to get her back," Sean said.
Emma agreed. "Okay. Go, don't let her do something stupid."
Sean ran out the same way Manny had gone, pushing and shoving through people. He finally made it to the exit and went out.
The parking lot was packed with cars. He walked, shouting out Manny's name. "Manny! Manny!" He was quiet for a moment and then he heard it, Manny's crying. She was leaning against a car.
"Manny…"
Manny kept crying.
"Manny…"
"Leave me alone Sean, I said I want to be alone!"
"Manny…come with me. You can stay in my car until you calm down."
Sean was waiting for Manny to say yes. He waited for some minutes and then finally Manny nodded.
"Okay…fine…"
She followed Sean as he led the way to his car. They went inside and sat down quietly for awhile.
Manny wiped her tears away, as they were still coming and streaming down her cheeks.
"Manny…don't cry anymore…" Sean finally broke the silence and tried to soothe her. "It'll be alright…"
"You don't understand…I really like Craig…we've been together for so long…"
"Then he's a jerk! I don't understand how he wouldn't want to be with you…" He took a deep breath before saying, "Manny you're beautiful…" There, he had said it.
"Oh Sean…you're so nice…"
Manny didn't understand that Sean had really meant it…
"No, Manny. You don't get it, it's true…you are very beautiful…."
Manny looked up and saw Sean's expression. He was serious and there was this sparkle in his eyes…
Sean wanted to kiss Manny so badly. He wanted her to know that he had liked her since he had arrived…that he had been keeping an eye on her and that her personality and fun attitude was what he liked best about her. He wanted to tell her that her smile and laugh was great…that she was worth millions…
"Sean…what...?" Manny couldn't believe this. She hoped Sean wasn't meaning what she thought he was meaning…
But Sean stopped himself. "You're beautiful and Craig doesn't deserve a girl like you." He smiled, hoping that Manny would see it as a friendly smile.
But he was too late, Manny already knew…she could sense it and Sean had just practically thrown himself out there. He liked her…Sean liked her.
I had so much trouble deciding what to do with the end of this! I changed it so many times! I didn't know if Sean should just go ahead and tell Manny that he likes her…but I changed my mind, as you can see. Then my original thought was that because Manny is so sad, she just throws herself out there to Sean...and you know what would happen…but I guess it didn't come out that way either!
Well I hope that you liked and please read and review!
