(Author's Note: OKAY OKAY! I uploaded this chapter before and well. people got confused because I accidentally put Craig instead of Dylan on the last two sentences. SO here is the revised edition.)

Part 7: The Sister Act

Marco skipped the rest of his classes that day. He didn't feel like dealing with any crap that anyone would've given him about his outburst towards Dylan and Paige at lunch that day. He walked home and luckily no one was there. He went up to his room, flopped down on his bed, and started crying. Why did things have to turn out like this? He thought. Things were supposed to be different with Dylan. Why did he have to go and do something like that? Marco cried himself to sleep as he heard the phone ring endlessly in the background.

Meanwhile, back at Degrassi, Dylan was comforted by Ashley and Paige. Hazel had gone off to find Spinner and give him a piece of her mind. Ellie was calling Marco's house trying to get a hold of him.
"Paige." Dylan started to say but couldn't without starting to cry again.
"Shhh." Paige said. "Dylan, it's going to be alright. Once Marco finds out all the lies Spin has told, then everything will be back to normal."
"But. you told him. You told him the truth and he didn't believe you!"
"Dylan," Ashley spoke up. "Things will be okay."
"He thinks I'm a horrible person."
"Dylan," Ellie came over to her three friends, "I've been trying to get a hold of him. He's not answering if he's at home. Do you want me to go over and try to find him and talk to him for you?"

"No, there's no use in you getting in trouble for skipping school."
"Hey I have an idea!" Paige said with a smile on her face. "How about if we five, with Hazel, skip our afternoon classes, go over to our house, and watch chick flicks and cry and stuff our faces? Who cares if we get in trouble? I'm sure our parents will understand."
The other three agreed and went off to find Hazel. They found her pushing Spinner up against a locker and screaming at him.
"You asshole! You spread one more lie about Marco or Dylan and I'll kick your ass along with most of the girls in this school, and maybe some of the guys including Craig and Jimmy!" She pushed him one more time and then walked over to her friends who, except for Dylan, were applauding Hazel. "Thank you, thank you. I do my best."
Paige chuckled and filled Hazel in on the details of their skipping. "Why don't you guys go with Dylan back to my place, and I'll go rent the movies okay?" They agreed and Paige left her group of friends. But she wasn't heading towards the video store.

Marco had made the mistake of not locking his front door and was rudely awaken by Paige slamming his bedroom door.
"Paige?" Marco said still waking up.
"You listen to me Marco Del Rossi! My brother is the most decent guy I have ever met, and I thought you were second. But yet you yell at him without giving him a chance to defend himself! Well let me tell you something Mr. over reactor! Dylan never said you guys had sex. Spinner said that! Spinner is an asshole and we all know that! In fact, I'm dumping his ass as soon as I see him next time. But you don't need to dump Dylan. You should've seen him after you left. He was a lump of clay, crying in my arms! Do you realize how much you've hurt him? I know you still care about him, and by god, my brother loves you. I hope you realize that and come to your senses and apologize! If you feel like apologizing, we'll be over at my house watching movies. You're welcome to join us if you come to your senses!" Paige exclaimed, barely taking a breath, and left the room, slamming the door again. Marco sat stunned and in silence.
About twenty minutes after Paige had gotten back to her house with videos and candy and popcorn, the doorbell rang. Ashley stood up to get it when she saw that Paige wasn't making a move, but Paige shot her a glance and Ashley quickly sat back down.
"Dylan, could you be a good brother and get that?" Paige said with a grin. Dylan looked at her strangely, but stood up and went over to the door. On the other side, Dylan found out after he opened it, was Marco. Silence hung in the air for what seemed like forever, while the four girls sat, hanging over the couch, staring intently at the two lovebirds. Marco finally wrapped his arms around Dylan's waist, and Dylan put his hands around Marco's back. They both broke out in tears, with the chorus of girls sighing in the background.

(Author's Note: Could that have been a more predictable ending to that part? Well. I couldn't think of much more for that part. I have a couple ideas of what should happen now. But both are sorta sad. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.)
