1CHAPTER 8

A/N: Okay, of course the stuff that happens in my story has not happened on the show and will not probably ever happen for Degrassi.

I do not own anything. Unfortunately.

IF YOU THINK - that you will be offended with anything that happens from HERE on OUT, then do not continue to read. I will start to move on to the story NOW! Finally! I am now starting with the good stuff. NOW the plot thickens.

AGAIN! If you do not want to hear of any of your favorite characters perhaps being injured or DYING - then stop reading.

Thanks

She woke with a start. Looking around the room frantically.

The absence of Jay's body hitting her like a hammer.

She hated waking to him not being there.

Emma swung her feet over the side of the bed and slowly got up, stretching to her full height with her arms over her head yawning.

She looked over at the clock on her side of the bed, 'her side'. She laughed out loud. Almost sounding harsh and lowly sadistic.

To her it was awesome, none of her friends, none of them, had the pleasure of going to sleep and waking up tp their boyfriends or the person they loved. None of them. She almost felt like she was doing something bad, being so happy.

She was almost envious of herself, if that was even humanly possible.

She laughed at her self again.

"What a weirdo..." She shook her head, she had found herself talking as if someone else were there. She did that a lot now. Surprising, considering she was barely ever alone. Considering, that Snake watching her like a hawk, was an understatement.

And when he wasn't, Jay could put a new meaning of 'Attached at the hip'. Her mom, well her mom was just a typical mom.

She swaggered, almost, into the kitchen, mind you, not too full of herself. She was always just happy the morning after anything intimate with Jay. Almost shuffling her feet at the same time, once they hit the top step.

She tightened the sash of her robe around her hip firmly, before completely closing the door to her and Jay's basement bedroom.

She ventured in, and just she thought, Jay was sitting at the table with Jack eating cereal, and having a conversation with the three year old as if he could REALLY understand anything he was saying.

She decided against teasing him.

She leaned down and kissed the top of his head, shaking head and walking over to the refrigerator, half listening to Jay ramble on bout how much work sucked and to Jack babbling something about 'Sesame Street', both rambling on and ignoring the other.

Jay looked up at her shocked for a second, now just realizing she was there.

He watched her grab an apple juice and a granola bar and was about to head down to get ready for school, "No baby... you can have a real breakfast... Snake said you are gonna stay home from school today... you know to rest." He looked back down at the bowl and saw that it was empty.

He scoffed and reached over to where Jack was sitting and grabbed the box...

"Really?"

Absently pouring another bowl and listening to Jack for real now... "Uh- huh!"

"Cool" She grabbed the box from him and started pouring a bowl for herself.

"Hey! Give that back..."

"No what is that like your second bowl..."

"NO! Actually it is my fourth..."

"Ewww... fatty..."

They were busy laughing and talking and didn't hear the first part of the news broadcast in the living room.

Spike was sitting on the couch folding cloths and not paying much attention herself, Snake came bounding down the stairs just then and heard what it was saying on the 'Emergency Bulletin' on tv.

Dropping his glass of milk causing it to shatter, catching the attention of the three in the kitchen.

Jack started to cry from being startled, Jay and Emma got up and peered into the living room trying to see what was wrong.

Spike got up griping about what the hell was wrong with him ans she got up to check on Jack and pull him out of his chair.

Jay grabbed a towel off the pile and was headed to Snake to help him clean it up.

Snake stood there rooted to his spot in the middle of the living room floor. Jay was leaning down on the floor near Snake padding the carpet with the towel still not paying attention.

Then from his spot on the floor, he heard Snake whisper something almost inaudible, "Jesus..."

Jay craned his neck around to see what he was staring at. But first thing he saw was Emma, one hand clutched to her throat as if she couldn't breathe and the other covering her mouth, trying not to make a sound.

Jay stood up quick and headed right for her, completely forgetting all about Snake's 'spilled milk'.

He reached her side and followed her eye site and reached the tv.

------ 'The father came home this morning from a business trip, just to walk in and discover the gruesome site inside of his home.

Not quite unfamiliar with tragedy... almost a year and a half ago to the date, the victim herself was attacked by her boyfriend and put in a coma.

Relief flooded family and friends of the victim recovered healthily.

Only now, a year and a half later, to be hit with a shocking and yet terrifying event.

The victim, 19 year old Terri McGreggor, was found brutally murdered, her body discovered in the living room by her father.

Unable to give out too much information, the sheriffs department did disclose the crucial events as 'Something they had never seen', the sheriff himself, who has been on the force for over thirty years has said, 'Never in my thirty three years have I seen something so disgusting.'

I was also later informed just minutes ago that it will take a team of CSI agents and Pathologists to recover the crime scene, for the scene itself is too gruesome to recover by the local coroner.'

"Ugh", Emma reached down and pressed th mute button.

She turned and buried her face in Jay's neck.

Snake walked over and put his hands on Emma's back and rubbed reassuringly. "You are definitely not going to school today; Jay do you have to work today?

"No!"

"Good, don't leave the house today, watch after Emma, you go somewhere- she goes, she wants go somewhere- you will stay with her."

Emma was dully aware of the conversation that was going on over her head. She could barely hear her mom respond to what was going on.

Spike was talking with Snake and Jay about Terri, and every time she would hear the name she would shudder. Shuddering with contempt and disgust.

Images flashing before her eyes. Images of what Terri's dead body must look like.

How horrible it must be if the local coroner can't even look.

She shuddered again in Jay's arms.

He looked down at her and kissed her softly on the lips, when he pulled back to look her in the eyes, he saw them looking wide and glassy, so far away, "Emma?"

Her bottom lip trembled and she clutched tightly at his neck, "My dreams..."

Then her eyes rolled and the last thing she heard was her mom scream for Snake and Jay yell her name frantically while the blackness enveloped her.
