Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi or any of it's characters...but I do think that Daniel Clark (the actor that plays Sean) is hot:)
"Mom? Dad?" Sean called as he and Emma walked through the front door of the trailer in to the kitchen. Emma looked around the tiny trailer. It wasn't fancy by any means. The furniture was old and the decorations looked like she had walked straight in to the 1970's. She felt a calmness though in being there with Sean. This is where he had grown up and it was like adding another piece to the life puzzle of Sean Cameron.
"Be right out!" Sean's mom yelled from a room down the hall. Mrs. Cameron entered the kitchen carrying an arm full of blankets. "Sean I was just getting your bed ready……." she started to say and then noticed Emma standing quietly beside him. "Oh hi there. I didn't realize we had company."
"Mom, this is my friend Emma." Sean said to his mother introducing her. He had always wondered if Emma and his mother would meet but never thought it would be under these circumstances.
"Nice to meet you Mrs. Cameron." Emma said extending her hand to shake Mrs. Cameron's. Mrs. Cameron smiled at Emma's politeness.
"Mom, Emma needs to use the phone." Sean said heading towards the phone in the kitchen.
"The one in the kitchen is out." his mother replied. "You'll have to use the one in the living room. I'm just going to finish making up your bed. I'll be back out in a few minutes."
Sean led Emma in to the living room to show her where the phone was. She sat down on the couch and he handed her the phone.
Emma picked up the phone unsure of what phone number to dial. She put the phone back on the cradle, and decided to confess her lie.
"Sean…." Emma started.
"It's okay Emma." Sean said. "I know you don't have an aunt that lives in Wasaga."
Emma was surprised by his statement. She had just assumed he had believed her when she said she was going to visit her aunt.
"Then why did you go along with it?" Emma asked curiously.
Sean sighed. "Because maybe I realize that I'm not the only one who needed to get away from it all. Setting foot in that school today just brought up to many emotions. I needed to get away. So if you need that too then I understand."
Emma nodded her head. She needed to get away. Her weekend had been spent replaying the events of that day over and over in her head. She needed a break from it all.
Sean handed her the phone again. "You should call your mother. She's probably worried about you. Tell her you're here with me and that your okay. You can stay a day, two or however many you need until your ready to go back. Ok?"
"Ok. Thanks Sean." Emma said.
"No problem. I'm beat and going to go take a nap. Remote for the tv is on the coffee table and you know your way to the beach if you want to go for a walk. Make yourself at home." Sean said as he left the room.
Emma picked up the phone and called her house. Her mom picked up on the third ring. She explained where she was and though her mom wasn't impressed that she hadn't told her about the trip to Wasaga she had said she understood that she needed her space. Spike allowed her to stay with Sean as long as Emma promised to keep her cell phone so she could get in touch with her if she needed to. Spike also told Emma that her and Snake would drive up in a couple of days to pick her up.
Emma hung up the phone and rested her head on the back of the couch. With the tv remote in hand she flipped through the channels trying to find something of interest. She landed on a news channel which was still broadcasting the shooting. She quickly shut off the tv not wanting to watch that anymore. She noticed a few framed pictures on top of the tv and got up off the couch to take a closer look.
The first picture she looked at had two small children in it…a boy and a girl playing in the sand at the beach. Emma smiled realizing that the picture of the little boy was Sean. He was smiling and his whole face lit up just like when she used to see him smile.
"Sean never let her out of his sight." Emma heard a voice from behind her say. She turned around and saw Sean's mom standing behind her. Emma had been engrossed in the picture and hadn't even heard Mrs. Cameron enter the room. "Jamie is the name of the girl in the picture with Sean. They were best friends growing up. From the time they could walk Sean never let her out of his sight. He always felt like he needed to be there to protect her."
"Some things never change." Emma said knowing that Sean was the same way with her while they had been dating.
"So Sean says your going to stay with us a couple of days?" Mrs. Cameron said changing the subject.
"I'd like too…if it's okay with you and Mr. Cameron." Emma asked.
"It's fine." Mrs. Cameron stated. "I'm actually happy that I finally got a chance to meet you."
"Meet me?" Emma asked with a confused look on her face. Sean had not talked to his parents in almost four years. How on earth had Mrs. Cameron heard about her she wondered.
"I've heard lots about you, Emma. Tracker used to call about once a month to let us know how things were going in Toronto for him and Sean. I don't think Sean realized that Tracker used to call. Tracker always told us what a good influence you were on Sean and that he was lucky to have a friend like you."
Emma blushed. "Thanks. Sean and I haven't been that close this past year but maybe we'll get a chance to catch up over the next couple of days." Emma said with hope in her voice.
Her conversation with Mrs. Cameron were interrupted by scream coming from Sean's bedroom. "Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she heard him scream. Emma and Mrs. Cameron rushed to his room to find out what was happening to him.
Uh oh? What's happening in Sean's room? What will happen next as Sean and Emma spend more time together. You'll have to read my next chapter when I post it to find out :)
