Ellie sat in the waiting room. Jimmy was at her side as well as the other members of their little group.

"Here Ellie", said Manny handing her a cup of coffee.

They were all worried about Marco but Ellie was literally dying because Marco her best-friend had over-dosed on drugs. He was now getting his stomach pumped.

"Why didn't he tell me, why didn't I notice?", asked Ellie.

"None of us did El", answered Craig.

He was also a very close friend of Marco's and he didn't even notice that Marco was abusing.

"I should have noticed, I should have noticed", cried Ellie.

Jimmy held her hand and talked gently into her ear telling her that everything would be alright that Marco would be fine. Ellie wanted so much to believe that but it was hard. Ellie closed her eyes and her mind flashback to the scene in Marco's room.

"Someone help", yelled Ellie.

She heard everyone running towards the room. Jimmy wheeled in.

"Marco", yelled Craig.

He bent down check the other boy's neck for a pulse. He like Ellie did not find none. He began CPR.

"Ellie I need you to give him mouth to mouth", aid Craig already giving Marco compressions to the chest.

Ellie nodded her head but she could feel her body shaking. She placed her mouth onto her friend's cold ones and blow air into his lungs. She could feel her heart beating. She wanted Marco to live. It was her best-friend. She needed him. She promised never to take him for granted.

"Please Marco", cried Ellie.

Ellie looked up to see everyone in Marco's bedroom. Emma was on the phone with 911. Sean was holding her hand and trying to calm her down enough to give the information correctly. Manny was holding onto Marco's other hands praying in Spanish. Jimmy looked on as Craig help to save Marco's life. Why would Marco do this, he had all these people that loved him.

End Flashback………….

Ellie's head snapped up when she heard the doctor call out for Marco Del Rossi's family. Ellie got up.

"How's Marco?", asked Emma.

"He is better, I pumped his stomach, and now he is resting", answered the young doctor.

"Look I'm going to be honest with you, the amount that I pumped out of his stomach could have killed a small horse. Was Marco abusing? A counselor will come to speak to him and get him help. It's a strong possibility that he may have to go into rehab. It's my strong opinion that he does. That young man in there is very hurt and I don't only mean physically", said the doctor.

He left then letting the others ponder his thoughts.

One Hour Later………………………

"Hey", whispered Ellie coming into the room.

Marco lay on the bed looking in her opinion so small and pale.

"Hey best-friend", croaked out Marco.

"Why?", was the only word that came out of Ellie's mouth.

"I just wanted the pain to go away", answered Marco.

He could feel the tears falling down his face.

"I knew it was wrong but the pain was so great and I was weak. I shouldn't have I know that but it took away not only my physical pain way but also my emotional one", said Marco trying to keep his tears at bay.

"Marco you have to get help", said Ellie.

Marco nodded his head. He knew that he had to. He was scared though. He felt that he just wasn't strong enough. As if reading his mind, Ellie said outloud.

"You are wrong Marco you are one of the strongest people I know, you are kind and sweet and stand up for your friends. You are my heart and I can't do this alone. Marco you can't ever do something like this again understood", said Ellie wiping the tears from her face.

Marco nodded his head. Ellie almost ran to him and hugged him making sure that she didn't hurt him. She cried in his arms. She knew that he was also crying as well when she felt the warm tears against her neck. "It's alright Marco, I'm here, I'm here", whispered Ellie.

"Are you ever going to talk to me?", asked Sean looking at Emma.

"I don't know what you want me to say", answered Emma getting up to leave the room.

"Emma", said Sean sighing.

"I know I know, I'm just scared Sean, we are having a baby, I'm scared", whispered Emma looking down at her hands.

"So am I, I never had a great role model, I'm afraid that I'm going to mess this child up, I don't want to be like my parents", said Sean.

"You won't be, I know because you are better than that, you are a great person and I know you will be a great father", said Emma standing up and walking towards him to sit on his lap.

Sean wrapped his arms around her body and placed his hands on her still flat stomach. "I can't believe that we are having a baby", said Sean looking at her.

"Me neither, I'm still scared though Sean, we are still so young and a baby, god what are we going to do?", asked Sean.

"We deal, we love this child and we be great parents", answered Sean.

Emma nodded her head but she still was uncertain. Could they really do this?

Manny didn't know she was being watched. She didn't know that her stalker was someone she knew and trusted. Craig would hit the roof if he ever knew. He would go crazy if he knew how close Manny's stalker was and how this person could control them.

The man flipped his coin over and over again. He smiled his cynical smile.

"I will get that girl, she will be in my bed", whispered the man as he looked at a picture of Manny Santos.

Craig's face was cut out of the picture however. He shifted his attention. He sat behind the desk. His desk. Behind him was a sign. The same sign that hung up on the day that Manny and the other's signed their contract. "EJ Records". The sign on his desk, the desk that held power held a small sign, a name tag. "Mark Fuller" .

Manny' stalker was the man that held the key to their careers. And as the saying goes. The Shit just hit the fan.
