Ok guys here's the next chapter. I only have a few more of these pre-written so I'll try not to post them all at once. And that one-shot I'm doing is almost finished so hopefully this and the one-shot is enough to hold you guys over until I get some time to write more on my other stories. Well here it is.

I Just Called to Say I Love You…

Emma silently paced around her room being careful not to wake Manny. She had just confessed her deepest, darkest secret to Craig today. She'd told him about how she still loved Sean. She even told him about her and Sean's pact. She'd never told anyone that before, not even Manny. And now Emma regretted ever telling Craig anything. Sure it felt good to get it off her chest but she knew Craig still talked to Sean. What if he let it slip somehow? How could she be sure Sean hadn't forgotten about her completely? What if Sean didn't even remember her?

Whoa now Em. That's stretching it just a little don't you think? I mean come on, Sean can't have completely forgotten about you! He did love you at one time…but that was a long time ago. Emma thought to herself.

Her heart was beating a million miles a minute. She felt like vomiting. She didn't know why she felt like this. It wasn't like she'd confessed this to Sean herself. She didn't know why she was so nervous. But it then it hit her. She wasn't nervous, she was scared. But she didn't know why. It had nothing to do with Sean…or did it? Emma knew it had to do with Sean but she couldn't figure out why. She knew Craig wouldn't just go straight home and call him so why was she so scared? She got the feeling she got when she found out Snake had cancer. An idea popped into Emma's head at that moment. What if something's wrong with Sean? You've heard about how you can talk to your true love with your mind when something's wrong. What if something happened to Sean? What if he needs me? She thought. Emma paced for another few minutes. Her heartbeat only got faster and her stomach only felt worse. She knew what she had to do. She had to call Sean to see if he was ok. Emma turned on her desk light and quietly rummaged through her drawer until she found his number from Wasaga that he'd had Craig give to her incase she ever needed to talk about the shooting. Of course he'd told all of this to Craig, and not Emma. And that hurt Emma, knowing that Sean gave it her just incase so she didn't call him. But now she was so glad Sean had made sure Emma got his number. She took the paper with his number on it and turned off her desk light. She went upstairs to the kitchen so she wouldn't wake Manny. She picked up the phone. Emma took a deep breath and quickly dialed the number that she knew by heart, although she'd never used it.

It rang once…

Oh God…

It rang twice…

What if he doesn't pick up? What if he does?

It rang a third time…

Come on Sean, it's only 10:00 you never go to sleep this early.

It rang a fourth time…

Damn it Sean! Pick up!

It rang a fifth time…

What if something has happened?

It almost rang a sixth but then someone picked up.

"Hello?" a woman's voice said on the other line.

"Um…hi…is…is Sean…there?" Emma asked taking a deep breath.

"No I'm sorry he's not. He's at…the hospital." The woman said stifling a sob.

OH MY GOD! I knew something was wrong! Emma thought alarmed.

"Is…is he ok? What happened?" Emma managed to say.

She heard the woman let out a small cry.

"Sean…he's fine. But his dad…he's…he had a heart attack earlier today. They don't know if he's going to make it. So Sean and his mother are at the hospital." She heard the woman say.

Emma breathed a sigh of relief.

"OH…ok. I'm sorry to hear that." Emma said sympathetically.

"Thanks. I'm his mom's best friend. She wanted me to stay here for when she got home…Wait. Who is this?" The woman asked scared she'd given away too much information.

Emma's heart leaped into her throat. What was she suppose to say? Sean would know she called.

"Oh…um…this is…an old friend of Sean's…from Degrassi." Emma said hoping she wouldn't have to say her name.

"Oh ok. Well I can tell Sean you called when he gets home. What's your name honey?"

Oh shit! Emma thought.

"It's…it's…Emma. Just tell him Emma called." Emma said not being able to think of anything else to say.

"Ok I'll tell him. Bye now." The woman said hanging up before Emma could say goodbye back.

Ok now I can go back to bed. Wait…how did I know something was wrong? Sure nothing was physically wrong with Sean, but mentally he must be a wreck. Maybe it's just because of what I told Craig. No that can't possibly be it. Maybe what some people say really is true. Maybe you really can hear your true love mentally calling for you when they need you. But if that's so true…then how come Sean didn't hear me calling when I needed him? All those times I called for him when I had my dreams. All those times I called for him when I needed him. But…I guess none of that would be as bad as losing a father…especially a father I'd just reunited with after 5 years of not even speaking. When I thought I was going to lose Snake everything in my life went downhill…even our relationship. Maybe I need to be there for Sean now. But what if he doesn't want to see me? What if I go to Wasaga and he doesn't even want to talk to me?

Emma's thoughts were interrupted by the phone ringing in her hand. It scared her so much she nearly dropped it.

Oh my God! What if that's Sean calling me back? Emma thought starting to panic.

She forced herself to answer the phone.

"He-hello?" Emma said barely above a whisper.

"Emma! Hey it's Craig! I thought you were never going to answer."

Emma breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh hi Craig. What's up? Why are you calling so late? Is something wrong?" Emma asked starting to worry again.

Craig chuckled.

"No Em, everything's fine at the Jeremiah/Manning household. I'm just calling to tell you something that I think you should know."

Emma once again breathed a sigh of relief.

"Um…ok what is it?"

"Well Sean called me earlier. He told me that his dad…"

Emma cut Craig off.

"Had a heart attack I know."

Craig shook his head as if Emma could see him.

"Yeah…wait how did you know?"

Emma sighed. She'd let another secret slip that she'd never intended to tell anyone.

"Well…I…I uh…had this weird feeling tonight. I felt like something was wrong…with Sean. It was so strange. It was the same feeling I had when the gun went off during the shooting…a feeling I never thought I'd have to experience again. And I got scared that something had happened to him. So I called him to see if he was ok. And a woman answered…I think she said she was his mom's best friend. And she told me Sean was at the hospital…and at first I freaked thinking something had happened to him. But she told me about his dad having a heart attack and that they think he might die." Emma explained kind of embarrassed.

"Oh…wow. I guess what they say about lovers being able to communicate telepathically is true."

"Yeah…that's what I thought. But I guess it only works for me since I'm the only one in love." Emma said sadly.

"What? Em, I told you already! I think he still loves you too! Besides you'll never know unless you talk to him." Craig said trying to get Emma to fall into his "little trap."

Emma sighed.

"Ok but his dad is dying Craig! I can't exactly call him back tomorrow and tell him I'm in love with him! That's going to be WAY too much of a bomb being dropped."

"Ok…but when Sean called me earlier he asked me to come to Wasaga. He said he didn't want to be alone and he needed someone there with him. I told him I'd be there first thing in the morning. So why don't you come with me? I'm sure Sean would love to see you again." Craig said trying to encourage her to come.

"But what if he doesn't want me there? What if he just wanted you to come? I don't want to burden him." Emma said sighing sadly.

Craig knew this would take a lot of convincing.

"Emma look, Sean still thinks of you as one of his best friends. You and me are the only ones who know the true situation with his parents. I'm sure we're the only two he'd want to come. Emma come on, you have to! If Sean doesn't want you there then I'll bring you home."

Emma sighed.

"You promise?"

Craig smiled.

"I promise."

Emma sighed again.

"Fine…I'll come."

"Ok I'll pick you up tomorrow morning at seven sharp! It takes a few hours to get there so we have to get there early."

Emma chuckled.

"Ok I'll be ready DAD."

Craig laughed.

"Ok see you tomorrow Em."

"Bye Craig."

Emma hung up the phone. She smiled to herself.

I'm seeing Sean tomorrow! She thought.

She went to her parent's room and explained what was going on. They agreed to let her miss school since it was only a Friday and told her she could go. Emma went downstairs to pack. She woke up Manny and briefly explained. Manny freaked about how much Emma still loves Sean even though she won't admit it. She soon fell back asleep though and Emma continued to get her stuff together. She finally finished and laid in bed trying to fall asleep.

Maybe this weekend wouldn't be the best time to confess my love to Sean. He just needs a friend. If he even wants me there. I'm sure he won't mind though. I guess I'll just have to find out tomorrow. It's a good thing Sean wasn't home. If he was…I just might have spilled out that I love him. That would have really screwed with his emotions right now.

"Emma hey we haven't talked in a long time!" 'Imaginary Sean' said.

"Yeah I know. Hey by the way Sean I just called to say I love you!" 'Imaginary Emma' said.

Emma sighed. Her own 'imaginary' words running through her mind.

I just called to say I love you….

That was the last thing Emma thought before she fell asleep.
