Disclaimer: Degrassi is not mine.

"I close my eyes, and I still see you're face

Those bright green eyes, that smile, and you're grace

You're hopes and dreams coming together in one place

Let's take a chance it's not romance

But I do love you

Oh, I do…love you

I'm in love with you."

(Yes dumb song I know, I'm a story writer not a song writer lmao. And I took one part out of the song Craig sang in together forever.)

"Good Craig." Leo clapped.

Craig smiled and put down his guitar.

"Who's it about?" Leo raised his eyebrow.

"No one."

"hmmmm could it be about a cute little red head with green eyes and a beautiful smile that you left behind in Toronto?"

"Ellie?" Craig laughed nervously.

"N-no I have a girlfriend."

"And that matters how?" Leo asked as he rested his hand on Craig's shoulder.

"You can't help who you like or love or whatever it is you're in. But it's something. Why don't you call her?"

"Who Manny?" Craig asked.

"No...Ellie. Leo said as he walked out of the studio.

Craig sighed running his hands through his hair.

"Because I don't even know if she wants me to, she didn't even say goodbye…" He said to himself.

Ring-Ring-Ring

" Hello?"

"Hi Mrs. Nash is Ellie there?"

"Yea…hang on."

"Hello?"

"Hey stranger!" Craig said not even about to bring up the whole Ellie not saying goodbye situation. He was just gonna talk to her like nothing happened.

"Hey Craig how are things out there."

"Good, good…it would have been better if I had you and the band with me but-" "yea…" Ellie mumbled.

" "Thank you for getting me here. I owe you."

"Yea you do" She said.

"So what's goin' on with you?" Craig asked.

"I have to be out of my house by tomorrow night."

"Ouch, what happened?"

"Nothing I just wanna leave." She said lying.

The line went silent for a few moments as neither of them knew what to say.

" I-I miss you.." Craig said softly.

Ellie's eyes widened as she lost her breath.

"Me too." She said playing it cool.

On the other end of the line, Craig smiled.

"You're my best friend." She began

"And I care about you so much."

Craig's smile faded just friends he knew that.

Did he actually think things might change?

"I care about you to...you're my best friend too El." He said his voice kind of shaky.

"Oh hey look I have to get back to rehearsal. But umm…Don't be a stranger. Call me sometime."

"I will…good bye Craig." She said as she cried silently.

"Bye El."

That night was the night she'd do it, she couldn't take it anymore.

She was losing everything she lost Sean, she lost Craig to Manny, her Dad was gone and her mom didn't want her anymore.

She rummaged through the medicine cabinet until she found what she needed, sleeping pills.

1000 mg and she'd take the whole bottle.

She grabbed the bottle of vodka swallowing four pills at a time.

She lay in her bed with the bottle next to her, taking sip after sip as she started to escape reality.

She replayed memories her and Marco, her and Sean, Craig and Ashley.

Memories of Jimmy wanting to paint…and how she was never truly able to tell Craig how she felt about him… how stupid it was of her to tell him to go.

But she knew he wanted it more than anything in the world.

Besides the fact, she had told him how she felt that night at the club, and then she pushed him away.

Now they were only friends and even if she did tell him how much she cared about him now, how he was pretty much her everything and how her life fell apart when she told him to leave.

It wouldn't matter anymore because he was with Manny, in love with Manny and they were only friends…nothing more…

The next morning Marco called for Ellie wanting to know if she could pick him up for school since his car was in the shop.

"Mrs. N is Ellie awake yet?" he asked over the phone.

"I don't know, mannuelle just walk over here."

"Umm it's-"but before he could correct her she hung up.

"Knock-Knock." He said as he walked into Ellie's house.

"Mrs. N I'm gonna go check upstairs."

"Yea…yea.." Mrs. Nash mumbled as she downed her 2nd bottle of vodka.

"Ellie?" he knocked on her door but heard nothing. "Ellie Nash you need to Wa-" he opened the door not able to breath, or move for that matter.

"ELLIE! Wake up! Come on don't do this to me ELLIE!" He ran to her bed and started to shake her, her face was almost a light purplish and she was freezing.

His eyes came across the bottle of sleeping pills and the bottle of vodka.

He grabbed the phone and called 911 "yes umm it's my- my friend she- I came to her house to get her up for school and she's-she's cold she's not breathing."

Marco couldn't stop crying He couldn't believe what was happening. Why was this happening?

"The ad-address is 2708 North Tiffany Dr. hurry.

(I dont know Ellie's addy so I used my own. Lol)

" He dropped the phone and hugged Ellie hoping somehow she would just wake up.

Hoping for some kind of miracle.
