CHAPTER 11

Jay unlocked his door and headed towards the living room. He set his 6 pack on the coffee table and fell onto the couch. Wow, what a night. Jay had been out driving around looking for a party. He hadn't been expecting to save his best friend's girl. He opened his first beer, brought it to his mouth and took a sip out of it.

He took some time and thought back to when he and Sean first started hanging out. He met Sean at Degrassi High's auto shop class. Sean knew a lot about cars. Jay figured Sean knew more about them than him but was planning on admitting that to Sean anytime soon. He remembered the time he drove Sean, Ellie & Emma to Wasega beach the day after Rick had died. He knew Sean had a lot going through his mind after seeing Emma with a gun to her head and saving her by trying to get the gun away from Rick and shooting him in the process. Yes, Sean had been through a lot in his life and though from the outside people may say that Sean and Jay were the same, he knew they weren't. People looked at the two of them and called them troublemakers and didn't expect them to go anywhere in life. Sean was different. He appeared to have the bad boy image but always ended up doing the right thing. Sean had a good heart. Sean managed to still be with Emma after 6 years and everything the two of them had been through in between. Now Sean was in the military looking to get a better job and be able to provide for Emma in the future. Jay wished he was a bit more like Sean. Jay was selfish and usually only looked out for himself. But once in a while he knew he could surprise people and do the right thing.

He turned on the TV and stared at it while he finished a couple of more beer. He looked at the clock and it read 3:30am. Jay yawned. He knew he had a phone call to make before he headed to bed.

He picked up his phone and dialed Sean's cell phone number. It only rang twice before Sean answered. "Hello?" Sean asked sleepily.

"Hey Seanie. It's Jay. Where are you at?" Jay asked.

"I'm on the bus man. It gets in the station in a couple of hours. What time is it?"

"3:30 in the morning."

"Why are you calling me so late? I'm trying to catch a few zzz's before arriving in T.O." Sean said.

"There's something I got to tell you.." Jay said. He told Sean the entire story of what had happened that evening at Damien's house. He told him how the stranger was now in jail but assured him that he didn't think the stranger had gotten a chance to do anything with Emma before Jay had arrived.

Sean was wide awake now. He couldn't believe Emma had been attacked. He was worried about her. He hoped she was okay . "Is she home now Jay?" Sean asked.

"No, they said they were going to keep her in the hospital for the night. I thought I'd let you know what was going on so you could go head there as soon as arrive in Toronto." Jay said. They talked for a while longer about how Sean had made out at his first six weeks of basic training. They also chatted about the mechanic shop and the new girl that Jay had his eye on.

Before Jay knew it was almost 4:30am and all of his beer were gone. It was definitely time for bed. "I should get going Sean. Can't stay awake any longer."

"Okay Man. I'll catch up with you later tomorrow."
