I am color... blind

Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside

Degrassi still seemed depressed. Jimmy though thankfully, was alright too. The only one who had died was the one who began it all, Rick.

School seemed so.. lifeless... still. It's been a few weeks. Or maybe it was just boring because Jay wasn't in it.

Emma was sure Jay was let out of the hospital today... so where was he?

Jimmy would take longer before he came back to Degrassi though, he was shot in the back, so now as rumour has it, he had to be in a wheel chair.

I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am

Emma couldn't pay attention in class, she looked at the spot next to her that was suppose to be Jay's. Empty. She missed him like hell.

She looked around and saw Hazel in the front, looking like hell. But why? Jimmy was ok. Yes, in a wheel chair... but okay.

She looked at Paige, Paige hasn't been her loud self like before since the shooting.

Were they punishing themselves for Rick?

A few more days past and Emma received a few calls and texts from Jay, sadly she kept missing all the calls but his texts said he'd be there soon, that he was catching up on some things.

Hazel was finally looking better, and Paige was her preppy self again. Maybe things could go back to normal?

taffy stuck, tongue tied
Stuttered shook and uptight
Pull me out from inside

Emma was doing her homework on the steps of Degrassi as everyone socialized. She looked around and then began to notice people watching her...

Wait.

Ofcourse she watched Hazel and Paige, so someone had to be watching her. She didn't think this many people did though...

Was she not right?

Did she look like she was still hurting?

Did she have something on her face?

Emma looked away from a group and heard an engine roar into the parking lot. She looked over to then smile wide, setting her books to the side.

Jay.

I am ready
I am ready
I am ready

He grinned back at her as she ran over and jumped up on him. He grabbed her and she swung her arms around his neck. He held her as tight as he could, shutting his eyes.

I am...fine
I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded, and unfolded, and unfolding

Emma slid down and Jay held her waist as she put her hand on his jaw line. He leaned down and captured her lips and she kissed back passionately.

Waiting for this forever...

I am
colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am...fine

Everyone watched them, but they didn't care. All they saw was another.

And they would be okay. As long as they had another.

I am... fine
I am fine
