Authors notes: A post Acadamey awards present for you. :) I updated! I was rooting for Juno to win more awards tonight but I am happy that at least they won the Oscar for the best screenplay. If you haven't seen Juno yet you should defenitely go see it. I saw it twice in the theatres and enjoyed it a lot both times. Daniel Clark (the actor that plays Sean) has a small part in the movie as well. Anyways, happy reading!
Sean leaned forward kissing Jamie on the lips. It wasn't a passionate kiss by any means but more of a quick kiss with no tongue involved.
"Was that everything you had ever hoped for?" Sean teased.
"It was actually kind of weird. It was more like kissing my brother. Let's agree to never do that again."
"Deal." Sean said laughing. He was happy he had gotten that kiss out of the way so now he could focus on telling Emma how he felt. He looked around the party but could not see her anywhere. He saw an old friend named Matt standing by the beverage table and decided to go over and ask him if he had saw Emma.
"Hey Matt." Sean said as he greeted Matt..
"Just heard you were back Cameron. It's about time. This place just wasn't the same without you."
"Thanks Man." Sean scanned the party one more time to see if he could spot Emma but she was no where in sight. "You didn't happen to see a blonde girl getting some drinks here a few minutes ago?"
"Yeah man. I did. That's who told me you were back."
"Did you see which way she went?" Sean asked hoping Emma hadn't went far.
Matt stared at Sean for a second before answering. He didn't like being the bearer of bad news. "She took off Cameron. She saw you kissing Jamie and she split."
Sean felt as if someone had just knocked the wind out of him. He had to get to Emma so he could explain that what had happened between him and Jamie meant nothing. He needed to tell her how he cared about her.
I'm soooo stupid! I can't believe I'm so stupid to let him hurt me again. Emma walked aimlessly as tears continued to fall. She brushed them away and tried to figure out where she had walked to. She noticed that the street she was on had been the street they had taken when they had first entered Wasaga the day before. On the left side of the street was a small grocery store and on the right side was the bus station.
She stared at the bus station for a moment trying to decide whether she should grab the next bus home or go back to Sean's house and wait for him to come back from the party.
"Sean, what's wrong?" Jamie asked concerned as her best friend approached her. Sean looked like he had just seen a ghost.
"It's Emma….she saw us together and…." Sean started as a single tear trickled down his cheek. "….she's gone."
"What are you doing still standing here? Go find her!" Jamie exclaimed. She dug in her pocket and pulled out a set of car keys. Her parents had brought the car to the party tonight and she was sure they wouldn't mind if Sean borrowed it for a few minutes. She handed him the car keys.
"Thanks." he said as he took off towards the parking lot.
"Mom?" Emma said as her mother picked up the phone. She was at the bus station and had just called her parents number on the payphone.
"Emma! Is everything alright?" Spike asked her daughter.
"I want to come home." Emma said simply trying not to cry again.
"Snake and I will come get you. We'll get there as soon as we can." Spike offered.
"The next bus leaves in 10 minutes. Can you call the bus station here and buy me a ticket with your credit card?"
Spike could sense that Emma was upset about something. In stead of pressing the issue of them coming to pick her up she agreed to buying her a ticket for the bus. "If that's what you want then you can come home on the bus."
"It is."
"We'll pick you up on the other end then. I love you Emma."
"Love you too mom." Emma hung up the payphone and headed over to the ticket counter.
Sean started the car and squealed the tires as he pulled out of the parking lot quickly. He drove past the street to his house and continued until he reached the main street. He pulled in to the bus station parking lot. If Emma had went to his house then she would still be there in a couple of minutes. But if he knew Emma like he thought he did then she would've headed to the bus station and tried to get back to Toronto as soon as she could.
Sean approached the ticket counter and was greeted by a friendly woman. "When does the next bus for leave for Toronto?" he asked hoping he had caught Emma in time.
Did Sean make it to the bus station in time? Will he get a chance to explain to Emma about the kiss? You'll have to read my next chapter when I update to find out.
