AN/ Sorry I took so long with this chapter. It's kinda short...again sorry. This chapter is just a big flashback continuing from the last flashback. But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE review! Tell me anything, if you like it or hate it.

:Emma:

How could Emma possibly sleep that night, with Sean Cameron sleeping on her full out bed not even 2 feet away from her. How? She couldn't believe she went off on him like she did. She totally blurted out her whole life story to him while he just stood there looking at her like she was a basket case. She was embarrassed when he didn't say anything, but she felt so relaxed when he hugged her and let her cry. He didn't say anything after that, he just let her go and then said she should probably get some sleep. And that was it. No yelling. No questions. Nothing. "He'll say something tomorrow. I know he will." Emma thought. Now how could she go to sleep?

Emma woke up in her warm bed the next morning. She rolled over to the other side of her bed expecting someone to be beside her. She opened her eyes when she saw no one beside her. She shot up in her bed fast. Panicked, she looked about her room. Only to see a sleeping someone on her full out bed crossed the room. "Right" Emma said to her self. She quickly got out of bed grabbed some clothes and slipped into the bathroom to change. When she was done she walked up the stairs and into the kitchen where her mom was feeding Jack.

"Emma can you hand me a rag over there?" Her mom asked.

"Good morning to you too mom." Emma said handing her the rag and then sitting down in one of the chairs. Emma watched her mom run around the house. Lately she had been mad all the time and spaced out. Emma guessed it was from Snake being in the hospital. Maybe this isn't the best time for me to tell her about Sean sleeping here last night. Emma thought.

"Sorry. But if you can't tell, I'm a little busy at the moment," Spike handed Jack to Emma. " I'm going to run Jack to daycare then I have to go to work. I should be back around 6. I left $20 on the counter if you need it-"

"Mom! Your going to work. You don't need to freak out, I can handle myself."

Spike closed her eyes and then opened them again, talking to herself and mentally calming herself down. "Okay…bye." She started to walk out the door. Emma looked in her arms at Jack and yelled at her mom to stop. Emma handed Jack back to her mom. "Forget something?" Emma said smiling.

Spike sighed. "Sorry honey. Oh I forgot to tell you I'm also going to go see Archie after my shift, so I might be a little later then normal. Okay now I'm leaving. Bye." Emma watched Spike go out the door and into her car. Then she remembered she had plans with Peter to go to the movies. She felt terrible about getting Sean up and asking him to leave…she didn't want him to go. She didn't want to lose him again. She went down stairs to wake Sean. When she got there, no one was there. She couldn't help but feel depressed now that he had gone. When would she see him again? She hoped he wasn't out doing something he'll regret. After all she told him last night, he was probably pretty pissed. I'll find Jay and tell him Sean's back. Emma thought. She put on her jacket and left the house not even thinking twice about her date with Peter.

Emma went outside to her car. But she realized it wasn't there. "Sean! My car better get back in one piece!" Emma yelled out loud to no one. Then she took off walking down Degrassi Street. "Where the hell would Jay be?" Emma asked to herself out loud. "Okay if I was Jay were would I be?" Emma's first thought would be the ravine but she remembered Jay saying he was "changing his ways" or whatever. So Emma walked to The-Dot remembering he had a job there.

There he was Jay Hogart, waiting tables and looking like he would rather be anywhere but where he was at now. Emma laughed to herself and sat down at an empty table. Jay seemed to take forever until he finally came to her table.

Jay rolled his eyes then in a slow voice said. "Welcome to the-"

"I'm not ordering anything. I just came to-" Emma started to say

"Make fun of the man with a crappy job? Yeah thanks Nelson but really I have work to do." Jay said sounding tired.

"No, look I just came here to tell you that Sean's back in town. And I told him…what happened," Emma whispered "I didn't have time to tell him this morning that...every thing is okay now between us. So I just came down here to tell you, he might be a little upset with you."

"Upset! Yeah he'll be real upset." Jay took a deep breath in. He tried to think about ways to not blow up. "Look I have to get back to my tables…thanks for the heads up."

Emma sighed and went back home. She locked all of the doors in her house, even her little window in her room. And then she got into her bed and tried to sleep. It was only 2 o'clock but she just wanted to go to sleep to forget all about this day. She wanted it all to go away. She wanted to be happy again. She wanted to talk to her friends again. She wanted to live again. There was only a week left of summer vacation. She was going to do her best to avoid Sean as much as possible. Every time she saw him she hurt more and more, she didn't want to be that way. But when school started again, she promised to herself she would try to be (as much as she could) the old Emma.

:Sean:

Sean woke up to a pitter-patter of feet running around above him. He sat up, stretched and rubbed his tried eyes. He looked at Emma's bed only to see nothing. Sean got worried and he walked up the stairs. He started to push open the door but he stopped when he realized he heard Emma and her mom talking. Sean sat on Emma's bed and waited for her to come down. "Maybe I should go and look for a place to rent. I mean Emma's house is great. But I'm sure her family is under enough stress as it is." Sean thought. Then he climbed out of Emma's window. He smiled to himself when he saw Emma's car in the driveway. He didn't think she would mind.

Two hours later Sean had rented out a small apartment room. Okay sure the wallpaper was peeling, the sink always leaked, and the neighbors were always yelling. But rent was low. He didn't want to have to get a job to stay there. But his parents said that they would send him some money each month. So he was all set. Sean drove back to Emma's house to tell her the good news… and to give her car back. He tried the front door but it was locked and no one answered. Then he looked threw the window in Emma's room. He saw Emma's sleeping figure on her bed. He smiled. Then went to go see Jay.
