"Jamie?" Emma said. "What are you doing here?" She asked as the girl approached the picnic table.

Jamie moved towards the picnic table and sat down beside Emma. "Hi Emma. I came to see you."

"Me?" Emma asked. She had only met Jamie twice and even though they had a few short conversations they weren't exactly friends.

Jamie nodded.

Jamie was Sean's best friend though so maybe she had came because of him. Panic started to set in as Emma realized that maybe something was wrong with Sean. "Is Sean okay? Did something happen to him?" Emma started to tremble while bad thoughts ran through her brain.

"Sean's fine." Jamie assured her. "Well, I mean nothing has happened to him. Well nothing since the shooting….well you know what I mean."

"I'm glad to hear he's okay but if he's okay then why are you here?" Emma asked curiously.

"Because you won't answer any of his calls." Jamie stated simply.

"Sean…Sean sent you?" Emma stammered. Her palms began clamming up from her nervousness. Emma didn't really want to think about Sean right now. Well, of course she wanted to think about him if it was going to be something positive but she didn't want to bring up all of the bad memories.

"No, he doesn't know I'm here. He'd probably freak if he knew I was here talking to you behind his back. I just thought I owed you an explanation." Jamie answered.

"About what?" Emma knew what Jamie was referring to but wanted to hear her say it for herself.

"The kiss."

"Oh that." Emma whispered. "You really don't need to explain. It's not like Sean and I were dating or anything. After all, he obviously likes you."

Jamie shook her head at the fact that Emma was oblivious to Sean's love for her. Over the past month Jamie had learned from Sean everything there was to know about Emma. She knew about Emma's passion for the environment, about their first kiss, and about their first break up. Sean had told Jamie everything including the good and the bad.

"Sean doesn't like me. He loves me….as a best friend. And that's it. I swear." Jamie announced.

"But he kissed you." Emma stated confused.

"I made him and that was stupid." Jamie explained. "On my sixth birthday I made him promise that he'd kiss me on my 16th. I wouldn't have made him do it if I had any idea how all of this would turn out. I feel like I screwed up everything."

"What did you screw up?" Emma asked.

"Maybe your chance at happiness with Sean." Jamie looked down at the ground. She had felt guilty ever since she had found out Emma had witnessed the kiss and took off. She felt responsible for Sean and Emma's unhappiness. "You know he was going to tell you that night how much he liked you."

"He was?"

"Yeah. He was. He went to go find you after he heard you had taken off but he missed you at the bus station by about five minutes. And as you know, he tried to call…."

"But I never answered and never gave him the chance to explain." Emma said interrupting Jamie. It was her turn to feel remorseful. If she had only answered the phone maybe she wouldn't have to have gone through the past month in so much pain.

"Why not give him the chance to explain now?" Jamie suggested.

"How?" Emma asked.

"Come to Wasaga this weekend. His parents are going to be away and I know for a fact he has no plans."

"But what if he doesn't want me there?"

"Trust me Emma. He wants you there." Jamie assured her.

Emma pondered the thought. After hearing Jamie's explanation about the kiss she owed it to Sean to talk to him and see if they still felt something for each other. Another weekend in Wasaga would be a nice break from Toronto especially if it meant spending the weekend with Sean.

"I'll have to ask my parents but as long as they say yes then I'll try to come up tomorrow." Emma said making up her mind.

"Yeah!" Jamie squealed. She was happy that Emma had agreed to visit Sean.

"Jamie?"

"Yes, Emma."

"Sean's really lucky to have you as a friend." Emma said sincerely.

"He's lucky to have you too Emma." Jamie said back. Jamie leaned over and gave Emma a hug. Any tension that Emma had felt for Jamie previously immediately vanished.

"Well hello girls." they heard a voice say. "I wasn't aware there was a sale going on today. Two for the price of one?"

Emma glared at Jay who had just arrived at the ravine and who had immediately made himself known. "Jay this is Jamie. She's Sean's best friend from Wasaga. Jamie this is Jay. He's Sean's best friend from Toronto." Emma said introducing them.

"Thanks for the introductions Greenpeace but we've already met." Jay announced.

"We have met but I don't remember ever having a conversation with you where you were sober so that's something new." Jamie commented remembering how Jay had spent the previous weekend.

The three stood in an awkward silence unsure of what to say next. Finally Jamie broke the silence. "Are you hungry Emma? We could go grab some lunch."

"That sounds great. Let's go to the Dot." Emma said grabbing her things and pushing past Jay.

Jay's jaw dropped in shock. He couldn't believe Emma was ditching him. "What about our….." Jay started and Emma quickly interrupted.

"Thanks, but I'm okay now." Emma said before Jay could get another word out. She didn't want him to say something that may suggest to Jamie what Emma's purpose had been in showing up at the Ravine.

Jamie walked ahead as the other two finished their conversation.

"Maybe some other time." Jay suggested.

"I don't think so." Emma replied.
