Sean sat in his car and chewed his lip nervously. But then he realized what he was doing and he stopped himself. He'd never been a lip chewer, at least not his own. Was he picking up habits from Emma already? He sat and stared at the house that loomed before him. Paige's house, a place he'd never had a problem entering before. But today was the day he told her that the sexual nature of their relationship was over. He didn't think that part would make her angry but the part about him wanting to date Emma might. Paige had slightly territorial side to her so he wasn't sure how she'd react. Stealing himself for the confrontation, he made a move to get out of the car but before he could his cell phone rang.

"The fact that you've been sitting in my driveway forever is really creepy. Are you afraid the big, bad Paige is going to eat you or something?" Paige quipped when Sean slid open his phone. "You can't come in anyway."

"Have you been watching me? And why can't I come in," Sean questioned as he tried to figure out where exactly Paige was watching from.

"Yes. And Spinner is here, I'm doing a little entertaining."

"Doesn't he have a girlfriend?"

"So? She plays the saint and we all know that saints are celibate. Poor Spin sure isn't and neither am I."

"We need to talk."

"Is this about you and Emma and your little date?"

"How did you find out?"

"I have spies everywhere. And Emma came to me and asked me if I minded."

"And do you?"

"Had you two gone behind my back I might have had some problems. But I appreciate her honesty. Not that I think that my disapproval would have stopped you two. We had a good run so it's not a big deal if we end it. Besides, I think Spinner is interested in taking your place."

"That guy is dumber than a box of rocks."

"I know and that's why I like him. He's just so easy to control. Now, I'm going to go and enjoy the hot tub. I'll see you on Monday."

"Bye," Sean said but realized that Paige had already hung up. He couldn't believe how easy it was to tell her. A definite weight had lifted off his chest. But now he had to deal with Jay.

"What do you want, Man?" Jay asked Sean when he opened the door to his house and saw Sean standing there.

"I need to talk to you about Emma." Sean said and then slipped past Jay and into the house. He'd known Jay for years and he'd always been treated like family so he had no problem walking into Jay's house. And Sean figured if he and Jay were going to have a fight then they shouldn't do it on the front porch. Jay's neighbors were all older and libel to call the police if shouting starting.

"I thought we already went over this." Jay sighed and headed back to the den where he'd been playing his Play Station.

"Emma and I went out on Friday," Sean said, joining Jay in the den.

"That's nice," Jay said nonchalantly and sat on the couch. He had a good game of Gran Turismo going and he didn't want to stop just because Sean was feeling the need to express his feelings.

"We like each other." Sean said. He'd opted to stand in the doorway instead of sitting beside Jay. He figured a bit of distance would be better.

"And that affects me how?" Jay asked, his eyes still focused on his game.

"I'm letting you know this so you can back off. Whatever you think that you might have had going is over."

"Whatever."

"Why are you so casual about this?"

Jay smirked and pressed pause on his video controller and looked over at Sean. "Because I know you and you have a bad track record with women. Paige was your longest girlfriend and you two only really went out for a total of three months, give or take a few days. And that's including all of your makeup and breakups. I figure I just have to wait until you do something to screw it up and I'll be home free."

"I'm your friend, why the hell would you do that to me," Sean asked angrily.

"You started it when you decided to step on my toes and ask Emma out!"

"I don't want Emma to get between our friendship."

"So tell her you're not interested in dating her anymore."

"I can't do that."

"Then she's going to get between our friendship."

"It doesn't have to be this way," Sean said and began to back out of the room.

"It was your choice." Jay told Sean and then restarted his game. This conversation had gotten old. "It's a shame; I always thought it was bros over hoes."

"This is crazy, you weren't even dating!"

"Go home and stop wasting my time."

Sean rolled his eyes and left. He'd just wanted to honest about what was going on with Emma and Jay had turned into a complete tool. Granted, Jay was a tool with most people, but not with Sean, never with Sean.

Sorry about the mistake with the last chapter. I also write for Roswell, well I did a couple of years ago, so that explains the mistake. Thanks to Funnechick for the PM. Thanks to everyone who's taking the time to review. Thanks those of you that aren't reviewing but still reading. Look for some Sean and Emma interaction in the next chapter, hooray!!! And maybe some Spike and Snake, hooray!!!! Yeah, I love the old Degrassi kids as well as the new ones.
