Sorry it's taken me so long to get this up, guys. My internet has been all screwy lately. And I know the last chapter wasn't exactly my best work, although everyone loves a good Peter-bash. Haha. So I'll post the next two chapters. And they're way better, I hope anyways. So here it is.

Save the Best For Last…

Emma was walking home from Peter's house. She was crying…not really because of Peter but because of Sean. The thought of having sex with Peter disgusted Emma. Not only because she didn't love him, but because she and Sean had promised each other the first time they had sex, that it would be with each other….

Emma and Sean had just entered Sean and Tracker's apartment after school one day. Sean threw down his stuff on the couch and Emma set her bag on the table.

"So, Em did you get any bit of that chemistry lesson today? Because I had no clu—"Sean was cut off by a loud moan.

Emma and Sean both looked at each other.

"What in the heck was that?" Emma quietly said more to herself then to Sean.

"Umm…" Sean said not really sure what to tell her.

Then they heard a girl moan just as loud as Tracker had a minute before.

Emma looked confused at first but got it a second later.

"Oh…" Emma said her eyes wide.

"Uh…yeah…well why don't we…leave." Sean said grabbing her hand and pulling her towards the door.

Emma grabbed her bag off the table and let Sean pull her out the door.

"Well…sorry about…you know." Sean said once they got outside.

Emma laughed.

"Sean, it's ok. It's not like it's your fault. Besides I was home when my mom and Snake were newlyweds. So it's not like I've never heard…you know…before." Emma said awkwardly.

Sean looked at her. They both started laughing.

"Well the next time Tracker decides to get all hot and heavy and lost in passion I'll be sure to stay the hell away from the apartment!" Sean said laughing. Emma laughed too. She saw some swings in a small park. She pulled Sean towards them. Sean didn't have to ask what she was doing. He knew she wanted to swing…he knew how much she liked feeling like a bird…flying high in the air. Emma sat in a swing. Sean stood behind her.

"Do you want me to push you?"

Emma smiled.

"Yeah."

Sean smiled back. He started lightly pushing her.

"That must be nice though." Emma said.

"Huh?" Sean asked her confused.

"To be so in love with someone that you're too lost in passion to know what time it is…that you're too lost in passion to WANT to know what time it is."

Sean smiled at her.

"Well Ms. Nelson are you saying that you don't want to be a 40 year old virgin?" Sean said laughing.

Emma smiled.

"Sean, I'm serious. Of course I don't want to be a 40 year old virgin. I just meant that I wonder what it'd be like…to be so lost in passion that you lose track of…everything."

Sean smiled again.

"Well Em, I think that could only happen when sex isn't just sex. When sex is two souls connecting…when you're so in love that you can't think of anyone else. That you wouldn't even think of sharing that one special moment of pure love and passion and souls connecting with anyone but the one you know you love." Sean said.

Emma stopped the swing. She turned around so she was facing Sean. She smiled.

"Well Sean Cameron I didn't think you had it in you."

"Had what in me?"

"You just took my breath away by only saying a few sentences."

Sean smiled. He leaned down and kissed her.

"Well, I only said it because that's what I want my first time to be like. And I want it to be with you." Sean said seriously. He sat down in the swing beside Emma.

"What? Really?" Emma said.

Sean smiled.

"Yeah. Em, you're the only one I think about. You're the only one I want to be with. I love you Emma Nelson."

Emma smiled. That was the first time Sean told her that he'd loved her.

"I love you too Sean Cameron."

She leaned over and kissed him. It was a long kiss…the type of kiss that you didn't want to end.

"So…let's make a deal." She said once they parted.

"Ok."

"So we're each other's first loves. We both want the same thing. Let's promise each other that our first times will be with each other. Let's save the best part of love…for last…with each other." Emma said.

Sean smiled.

"Deal." He said before kissing her again….

Another tear rolled down Emma's cheek as she remembered the most the romantic moment in her life. Sure it was at an old run down park across from Sean's apartment, but that didn't matter. The only thing that mattered was that Sean and her loved each other…and they knew how they wanted to pledge that love once they were both ready. But Emma realized that time never came. Even after they'd broken up, Emma still had faith that maybe they'd reconcile and their dreams of shared passion would come true. But then Sean moved in with Ellie and Emma started losing hope more and more. But she still had some. After the shooting Emma started having hope again. But then Sean decided to stay in Wasaga Beach. And now, after her experience with Peter…Emma had lost hope. She now realized that Sean might never come back for her. She realized that maybe Sean had already broken their promise. She realized that she would eventually have to break her and Sean's promise. She couldn't wait around for him forever. Then a disturbing thought flashed through Emma's mind. What if Sean forgot about their pact? What if Sean forgot about her? This made Emma cry even harder. She saw a car pull up beside her. Her eyes were too blurred with tears to see who it was. She heard the car stop and someone get out. She quickly wiped her eyes to see who it was. She saw Craig running towards her.

"Emma? Em, are you ok? Em, what happened?" Craig asked concerned. He was now standing in front of her.

"Oh, Craig. Hi. Nothing I'm fine." Emma said trying to convince herself as well.

Craig sighed.

"Em, it's not nothing. You wouldn't be walking around Degrassi crying your eyes out over nothing."

Emma sighed. Craig's known her since forever. She knew she couldn't lie to him. Craig was always a very perceptive person.

"Fine I'll tell you. But this has to be a private conversation. You can't tell anyone, especially Manny anything that I tell you!"

Craig could tell she was serious.

"Ok, Em I promise."

"Ok, let's go somewhere to talk."

Craig opened the passenger side to his car for her. She got inside. Craig drove them to a nearby park. No one was there today. They went over and sat on the picnic tables.

"Ok, Em tell me what's on your mind."

Emma explained to Craig about Peter and what happened at his house. Craig's jaw tightened with anger. He stood up from the table.

"I'm going to kill that little porn director wanna be. First Manny…and now this. He knows you're still upset and vulnerable from the shooting…damn it! I knew this would happen. I'm going to go give that little creep asshole a piece of my mind!" Craig said cracking his knuckles.

Emma grabbed his arm.

"Calm down surrogate big brother Craig. He didn't hurt me or anything. It's ok. I didn't like him anyways. I was just trying to get over…everything. And why in the hell does everyone assume that I'm still upset about the shooting? How do you know it's not something else?" Emma shouted at Craig.

He stopped, realizing what Emma was talking about.

"So why are you upset Em?" Craig asked softly.

"Because…Because I'm still in lo-ve with S-sean." Emma said stammering.

Craig gasped.

"What? Em are you serious?"

Emma nodded. She was trying to stop crying.

"I've never told anyone that before. And then Sean decided to stay in Wasaga. He saved my life Craig, only to leave me a few days later! I love him, and he left!"

Craig hugged Emma in a brotherly way, trying to calm her down.

"Shh…Em it's going to be ok. It'll be ok."

"No it won't be ok! It won't be ok Craig! He doesn't love me! He left! He forgot all about our pact, and he forgot all about me! He left!" Emma yelled.

"Pact? What pact?" Craig asked confused.

Emma explained to Craig about her and Sean's special pact in the park.

"Em, I'm sure Sean hasn't forgotten. The guy jumped in front of a bullet for you. He could never forget you. You were his first love…you never forget your first love." Craig said trying to be reassuring.

"Thanks Craig, but I just don't think he loves me anymore…he probably has a girlfriend. He probably already broke the pact. He probably forgot all about me." Emma said sadly.

"Actually, Em Sean and I still talk. He hasn't had a girlfriend since Degrassi. And I know for a fact that he never slept with Amy or Ellie."

Emma looked at Craig shocked.

"But Sean and Ellie lived together. They were in love. Why wouldn't they…"

"I don't know. But Sean told me he and Ellie never had sex. He said when they moved in together that it kind of screwed up their relationship anyways. Ellie depended on him too much. She always needed him to be there. But no one was there for him."

Emma was still shocked.

"Well maybe he just hasn't met the right girl yet. What guarantee is there that when he meets her he won't break the pact? Just because he didn't sleep with Ellie doesn't mean he still loves me." Emma said knowing she couldn't get her hopes up.

"But what if you're the right girl Emma? What if he remembers everything about you and the pact? What if he's waiting for you? Craig said trying to convince her.

"That's true Craig. But what if he's NOT? I can't do that to myself…not again. It was so hard to pick myself up last time. I don't know if I'll be able to this time." Emma said smiling sadly.

"Ok, but are you sure you want to take the chance of not knowing?" Craig said trying one more time.

"Maybe it's better not knowing…than knowing what I've been fearing." Emma whispered.

Craig had given up. He knew he was never going to convince Emma.

"Fine, believe what you want. But love and sex is important to guys too. Maybe Sean never slept with Ellie because he wanted you. Because he wanted to save the best for last." Craig said.

Emma smiled sadly before asking Craig to take her home. Craig nodded and drove her home. All the way there Craig's words were ringing in Emma's ears.

"He wanted to save the best for last…."
