Emma shared a blanket with Manny, laying on the other end of the couch. The two both stirred and woke up as Jay loudly came into the trailer.
"Babe," Manny groaned "We had a rough night." she tried to lay back down to sleep more.
Emma went to turn but Jay replied, "It's Sean. He's drunk out of his mind." both the girls sat up, giving him outrageous looks, "Ya," he nodded, licking his lips nervously, "Started around 8am then went to the beach where I tried to follow but he is not in a good mood."
"He's drunk?" Emma asked worriedly, getting up and throwing the blanket off of herself.
Meanwhile..
There was a beach party held by Tyler down the shore a bit. It took a few minutes to get to but Sean was there, chugging the rest of the beer til he threw it to the side into the ocean and walked to his friends
"Man!" Tyler greeted, turning from a few girls and then eyed Sean. Something was off about him, "You okay?"
"Fine." Sean said with a simple shrug and looked around.
Victoria was over by some guys, and Tyler tormented Sean more as he asked, "Where's the hot wife of yours?" he teased, "She's an awesome girl." Sean already walked away, not wanting to hear that right now.
Victoria turned, seeing Sean and smiled in her bikini. They stood by the shore and she greeted, "Hey!" she then frowned, seeing him bend by her feet by her 6 pack and took a beer.
He didn't look so hot.
"Sean." she said seriously and eyed him opening it, "Everything okay?" she paused, "Where's Emma?"
Sean gulped one more time before pulling away from his beer, "Can everybody shut up about her?" he snapped rather loudly, hoping Tyler also heard.
Victoria began to worry, "Sean, what happened? Did something happen with her?" she noticed their friends staring and she scoffed when he didn't answer. "Come on." she grabbed his hand, taking him a bit more down the shore to be somewhat alone.
She leaned him on the 'no litering' sign and pole so he'd stand up straight and he scoffed, "Do we have to always talk?" he then eyed her and leaned off the pole, "Once upon a time," his hands went to her hips, and his voice lowered as he leaned in closer, "you weren't the 'talking' type."
Victoria bit her lower lip, knowing she shouldn't be letting him do this. She wasn't the girl he really wanted, he just seemed to be going through something. Having a bad day. But it was hard resisting a guy like Sean Cameron.
She was leaned up against the pole this time, and her arms wrapped around him as he held her against it and slowly began to kiss her neck after some struggling thoughts, "Sean.." she drifted but moaned, closing her eyes.
Jay chased after Emma and Manny down the beach, "He'll be okay! Maybe he went to the hospital!" he called after them.
Manny glanced at Emma and then to her watch, "It is almost noon. He was anxious to go back." she pointed out.
Emma shook her head, "If he's drunk then he's stupid and hasn't gone far." she taunted but was serious. They then stopped when Emma nodded towards Tyler, "Those are his friends." they went to go to him for Jay then to grab Emma back.
Manny even turned, wondering what Jay held them back for. He clenched his jaw, feeling bad to do this, but glanced at Emma to nod in the direction over her shoulder. She turned her head and saw it..
Sean and Victoria were making out down by the shore against some pole. It looked pretty heated, and Victorias half naked body was against his, her hands on his shoulders.
Emma shook her head in disbelief and snickered bitterly. She fought the tears as Manny gently took her hand and offered her a small look of pity, "Come on." she whispered to Emma.
They had to go stop him, bring him back home and sober him up to go see his mother. It wasn't his fault he was acting like a huge douchebag, Emma had to forgive him for anything today.
As they were walking over, Victoria pulled from Sean, "Stop, stop." she was out of breath and seeing stars but she licked her lips and shook her head, "You aren't this guy."
Sean painfully stared down between them. No, he wasn't. But Emma had crushed him.
"Theres our missing boy." came a distant voice and they turned to Jay, leading the girls over and giving Sean a 'what the fuck are you doing' look.
Sean didn't pull away from Victoria, he stayed put and hoped Emma saw. The blonde just kept her ground and crossed her arms with Manny as Jay tried to convince him to go.
"Come on, man." Jay nodded back towards where they came from, "You gotta go see your mom. Time to sober up .."
Sean then blinked, and backed off from Victoria. His mom. Jesus, how did he forget? He had to go see her. Now.
Victoria watched the group walk away, but as they did, the one with the long brown hair turned back and walked to Victoria.
Manny.
Manny crossed her arms, sizing Victoria up and down and asked seriously, "You care about him?"
Victorias mouth dropped to then pick it up and admitted, "We're just friends."
Manny raised an eyebrow, "Really? Friends? . .you're not dating?" she asked fiercely. Another lie to put on the Semma list.
Victoria shook her head no, "Look," she huffed and stared out into the ocean until back at Manny, "I know he and your friend have something. I've backed off..he came to me."
"I believe that." nodded Manny, showing in her eyes she really did, but then she snapped, "But if you knew, then you should of said no." she glanced over at the guys passing them. They eyed them but were snickering a little when they glanced at Victoria.
Manny knew this 'snicker'... hell, did she know it more than anybody. Victoria was clearly the Manny of Wasaga... or atleast, the old Manny.
"Guess the reputation you have here proceeds you." Manny bittered and turned. If this girl wanted to change, like Manny had, then she had to make some serious changes.
Victoria looked hurt, and watched the girl walk away.
A door knocked, and Linda looked up from her hospital bed to gasp happily, widening her arms, "Seannn." she sang happily.
Sean looked like hell. He hadn't slept, and tried to sober as much as he could with shitty greasy food and bread. Let alone his heart was broken and his head was pounding and he had fear stirring through him constantly about his mother.
He leaned over her bed, hugging her and stayed there for a moment, eyes terrified for her and hoping it all was okay. But with his luck lately, he was bound to hear some bad news.
"You're here" Gibney said, coming inside.
They both looked over, and Sean stood, glaring at the Doctor as Linda tiredly laughed and pat his arm, "Sean, it's okay."
"Do I tell him?" Gibney asked Linda abit in fear, glancing at Sean.
Linda took a deep shakey breath, glancing at Sean who caught that and her weary look. Oh no, no, no, no.. it was more bad news.
"Go ahead." Linda insisted, "Maybe it'll make him like you."
Sean glanced between them quickly. Make him like him?
Gibney laughed and took his chart out, going through Lindas chart and explained out loud, "Your mother didn't fall due to her illness, infact..there is no illness. The treatments have been working and the reason she fell was due to the heat."
She blushed guilty, "I was gardening all day."
Sean exhaled, sitting on the chair next to him before he fell and covered his face but his body raged in happiness. He looked to his mom and she smiled at him but then his eyebrows furrowed, "It's totally gone? Just like that."
"Well, not just like that." Linda admitted, glancing at Gibney, "Some days.." she drifted to Sean, "when I pretended to go to Bingo, I was here..for more check ups."
Sean angered, "Without me?"
"Sean." The doctor spoke up and explained, "We beat it. She wanted to wait to tell you. She needed to do it on her own."
Linda looked happy and proud. Sean was shitting bricks.
"I can't believe you dicked me around like that!" Sean yelled and got up.
Linda bluntly shrugged, "So?" she taunted her son
"You lied!"
"You lied to me about Emma."
Sean went stone cold. His mother knew? ...
Linda smiled softly, and shrugged her shoulder, "Maybe I lied to you the past few weeks, but I did it because I was worried about you."
Sean shook his head, rather confused right now. "how long have you known?"
Linda blinked and tried to remember, "I honestly did think through the years you were together and engaged." she recalled, "I remember perfectly when you left Wasaga with the ring to go propose to her...but after that when the cancer got worse, I couldn't remember if it had gone through.. but this year, as I was getting better and when you were back home? she wasn't with you and I knew something was up. I knew my Sean would of ran straight to the girl he loves after time away from her like that," she eyed him knowingly, "like how you fast you ran back to Degrassi when a teenager."
Seans looked around the room in complete awe. Jesus, no wonder he was good at lying, he came out of this evil women
Linda went on, "When you brought her up here, I didn't even see you two kiss! But I saw that fire between you two." she nodded surely, "and then I knew you two weren't together, but were just dying to be. So I helped!"
"You helped?" mocked Sean, not believing that.
She smirked, "I had my ways Sean." she eyed him, "Didn't I?"
Sean thought about the last few weeks in awe... guess she did. She was the reason he went back for Emma in the first place and the reason they were back together but... "We still aren't really back together, mom." he said, clenching his jaw sadly and looking down at his hands
"Well I can't do everything around here, Sean." she said sarcastically, giving him a look. He knew that look, she was challenging him to go be the one to do it. Do TO something to win back Emma.
"I think she's calling you a wussy." The Doctor chimed in, also egging Sean to go step up and win back the girl.
Sean snickered, looking back and forgetting the Doctor was here, "Ya, she is." he chuckled, sharing a warm hearted smile with his mother.
When Sean stepped out all three of them were standing outside waiting for him. They exhaled when he gave a nod, showing them she was okay.
"She alright?" Jay asked, he hated being the one to find her like that. To be honest, he liked the ol lady.
Sean snickered, still stunned a bit as he confessed, "More than ok. She's done her stages, and the cancers been gone for weeks."
"Sean, that's great!" Manny exclaimed as Jay nodded but then got confused. Weeks?
Emma was the smartest and also had to repeat, "Weeks?"
Sean looked over at her, and softened. He looked down, feeling horrible about what he did, and said, and then did with Victoria. He really was through with drinking. "Ya." was all he said.
Manny and Jay slowly left, knowing the two wanted to be alone as Emmas mouth gaped open still, trying to put this together.
"She didn't tell you?" Emma asked when alone with him
He snickered, shaking his head, "She uh," he nervously eyed her as he admitted, "She knows the engagement isn't real either."
"But she was buying wedding invitations and everything.." Emma couldn't believe it, shaking her head from the daze.
He laughed a little, nodding, "Yea.. she did." he agreed but couldn't explain why.
Emma bit her lip and looked at the door of Lindas room nervously. It didn't change her feelings whatsoever and she wanted to go in and see her.. she must of had a bad fall from whatever took her out then.
"Can I see her?" Emma asked.
Sean gazed at her longingly, and she tilted her head at him til he nodded slowly while standing still. He reached his hand to the knob and opened the door for her. Emma went in alone, and closed the door behind her.
Linda was eating jello on her bed and glanced over happily, "Emma!" she exclaimed happily.
Emma scowled but bared a smile. This women was the DEVIL..a very lovable devil. She KNEW this whole time?!
