Jay Hogart was standing behind the counter at The Dot serving coffee on this dreaded school day. Much to his embarrassment, his mother had gone down to the school board and threatened law suits until the agreed to let him back into Degrassi, with one catch, he was still in grade eleven. He never thought he might actually miss going to school, but he did. Of course no one would ever know that fact.

He and Spinner Mason were stuck pulling a split shift today with a few hours before and after school. The manager needed them for the 'back to school' rush since The Dot was the place to meet before school.

Jay put the coffee pot down and took a moment to survey the area. He saw many of his former classmates who's names he didn't know sitting at the bar. He glanced around the restaurant and noticed a few he did know at various tables.

Part of him breath a sigh of relief at not seeing his ex-girlfriend or any of her new friends. In his mind, the only good thing about being held back, was not having to deal with her in his classes. He could handle everyone else, but Alex knew how to twist a knife deeper and keep a wound from closing on him. He was still nursing his wounds from their last encounter a few weeks ago.

Jay went back to working and started to take the coffee around to tables. He noticed the social reject squad sitting at one of the tables in Spinster's area. He saw Isaacs' buddy trying to flag down Lisa as she breezed past him to take her cigarette break.

Jay went over to Spin and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Hey, your table needs service." Jay informed him

"They're finally ready to order? They've been wasting table space for over an hour." Spinner said before going over to the table.

After a filling a dozen or so coffee cups, Jay returned behind the counter.

"Man, I'd hate to be Ms. Nelson today." Spinner whispered

"Greenpeace? Why?" Jay was curious as to why Spinner would bring her up.

"Liberty is going to rip her a new one for not showing up today. I guess she was supposed to be here this morning she has been going on about it. She told me to not serve her if she comes in. She offered me twenty bucks for my lack of service." Spinner told him while looking down at his watch

"But sadly, it looks like neither of us will get the . . . benefits of her visit today. We're off shift in five minutes." Spinner added with a smirk.

"Nice one, it might be funny if something actually happened between us. But like I said before, nothing has or will ever happen between me and Greenpeace." Jay lied.

"Sure man, whatever you say. None of the rumors are true about you and her, right? Well then answer me this 'Why is it, that every time she comes in here, you stare at her, with that look on your face as if your dog just died?" Spinner asked

"I think your getting me confused with a mirror, that's you, when Prom Queen comes in" Jay said with a glare, before storming off to change for school.

'My heart doesn't break every time I see how much I broke her'

Christine heard Manny's footsteps as she ran to the phone.

'CPR, she needs air'

Christine placed a hand under her daughter's chin and tilted her head back. She the opened Emma's mouth slightly and plugged her nose.

Sucking in a deep breath Christine leaned down placing her lips over her daughter's and exhaled forcefully. She then placed her hands on her daughter chest and applied compressions.

'One . . . Two . . . Three . . .Four . . . Breathe'

Christine repeat this for five minutes.

"Dammit Emma, breathe!" She cried in frustration.

She push her hands against her daughter's chest harder and harder when she heard a sickening crack and felt Emma's chest give way more then the last compression.

Christine pulled her hands away and covered her mouth in shock.

"Oh god, what have I done?" Tears fell from her eyes and landed on Emma's body.

She reached out and pulled her daughter into her arms and cried as she held her tightly.
