The next two days were hell back in Degrassi, and to make matters worse, Emma was back to work. She walked into the Dot with her thin black Dot shirt on and wearing her jean skirt. She tugged her long hair behind her ears and greeted Spin as she walked by, "Hey"

Spinner looked up from collecting dishes off a table and grinned widely, "Emma, you're back."

She nodded, and walked to the counter, "How have things been?" she asked, noticing the place look busy. Geez, he must of really needed her, must of been chaotic just serving by himself.

"Fine." he called back, "We uh, hired someone new."

Emma squinted her eyes strangely at Spinner. He was giving one of his famous odd smiles, the one that made him look like he was up to something. It wasn't until she grabbed her apron and turned to understand just why he looked guilty and strange. She bumped hard into someone and yelped a little, "Sorry!" she stopped instantly, her mouth falling.

Peter Stone. Wearing a Dot t-shirt. He was the new help? He also gave her his famous, slimey, smile. "Hey Em."

Great. JUST great.

Emma turned to look over her shoulder. Correction, she turned to glare over her shoulder madly at Spinner..

Peter smiled at her, looking her over as he walked around her, "You look good."

Emma, with a disgusted look upon her face, glared as she watched Peter go with that dirty sly grin on his face. An hour later, and Spinner and Emma were fighting in the back of the Dot, "How could you hire him while I was gone?!"

"Thats just why!" Taunted Spinner, throwing his arms out, "Im not with Jane anymore, I needed the help, you were gone and he's not SO bad."

"Not so bad?!" Emma yelled back at him, not believing this.

Spinner cringed, "Alright, he's just..different. I swear! He's Changed."

"What are you getting out of this?" Emma taunted and looked out the lobby door, "He's probably never even served in his life." Mommy Mrs H probably bought him everything like when his dad bought him a car.

Spinner helplessly admitted, "We're in a band together now. A lot has changed in a few weeks Emma. What was I suppose to say?"

Emma crossed her arms, in a huff. Peter than walked into the back and stopped when he saw them, looking back and forth. Emma didn't even hide her glare. "look.." Peter says, glancing at Emma then to Spinner, "Can I talk to her, alone? I can tell this isn't settling well."

Spinner glanced to Emma who gave him a look but he huffed and nodded, "Figure it out you two. If we're going to work together, we gotta get along."

"K grandpa." joked Peter, watching him go and Spinner swatted him arm jokingly and left.

Emma wanted to shake herself, and everyone else around her. What the hell was this!? Since when did everyone forget Peter was a slime ball?!

Sean was NOT going to be happy about this.

"Look Emma." Peter said, once they were alone and took a step forward. He lowered his voice and asked, "I thought we were over this? I said sorry as much as I could to you in the past. I know I was a jerk, okay? Didn't this all get solved and put behind us when I started dating Darcy though?"

"No Peter," Emma corrected, "You just weren't my problem anymore and I was glad Darcy took you off my hands. You never even gave a real sincere apology either! And the apology actually should of went to Sean."

Peter snorted this time, "There is no way in hell I could say sorry to Sean and him accept it anyways, Emma . Besides, who cares. He's gone now right? Tim Buck two."

"Wrong." Emma taunted back, blinking bluntly at him and crossed her arms to wait for him to get the hint. He did.

Peter looked confused and then his mouth dropped and he looked almost horrified, "You're with that loser again!?"

Emma had to laugh, rolling her eyes, "Loser, Peter? He's a graduate, went to the army, and has more money in his pocket then I'd say your Dad has even right now. He could build your car from scratch where I can remember you couldn't even fix the oil." she raised a knowing eyebrow.

Peter went red, and she walked around him. He grabbed her arm and she yanked it back. "Ok!" he whispered harshly, "Lets just be at least civil at work, alright? I REALLY need this job." he gave his best poor puppy dog look, staring down sadly, "I live on my own now."

Emma eyed him wierdly. No more living with Mommy? And what about his Dad? Ugh, whatever. Just as long as he stayed out of her way. "Fine. Deal."

He smirked a bit playfully, "Do you want me to take back my comment from earlier too? Will that make you feel better?"

Emma shrugged carelessly, not knowing what he was talking about and he chuckled, nodding. "Good. Cause you do.." he walked by her, noticing again, "..Look good, I mean."

Emma heard him leave and her face had 'uh oh' written all over it. Sean could NOT know about this. She could handle Peter on her own. He was delusional if he ever thought he had another chance with her especially with Sean Cameron back in the picture.

AS IF.

Meanwhile, Peter let the breath he was holding out and leaned on the counter smirking. He couldn't believe another chance with Emma had come his way. He was going to try to get her back, and Sean was going to go down this time. I mean, him and Emma.. this had to be meant to be right? Things didn't work out with Darcy for a reason and Mia up and left too but Emma, his first love Emma, was standing here infront of him again.

...how delusional Peter was.

ONE WEEK LATER..

"Can't believe you're going through with this." joked Tyler, standing infront of Sean's trailer and truck as Sean packed it up.

"I love her man." Sean told Tyler, closing his trucks trunk and turned to his friend.

Tyler raised an eyebrow, "So you're going to Degrassi for a week? Look at some places and then it might be permanent?"

Sean shrugged and nodded, "Guess so." he itched the back of his head, "She doesn't know yet. I'm hoping she'll be happy about it. "

"Chick will go nuts, I'm sure. Girls love commitment." Tyler joked and Sean chuckled, getting into his truck. His window was down so Tyler stood by it and asked seriously, "But is it what you want?"

Sean looked at him oddly and bluntly replied, "I want to be with her."

"I know man." Tyler insists, "I just thought Degrassi was a dark place for you, and you didn't want to go back.."

Sean swallowed hard but put his brave face on and shrugged his left shoulder, "I'll get over it. She's worth it." he started up the car.

Tylers mouth opened, then closed as the truck pulled out. He nodded and waved to Sean who tossed his hand out the window as a wave back and then, he was out of sight. As Sean drove down the highway towards Degrassi again, he smirked as he noticed that good ol' racoon staying to the side of the road with its family of three. See? This had to be right.

Emma rushed around the Dot, it had been a week working by Peters side and at least he kept to his word; Staying away from her and only being civil while on the clock.

"why you so antsy?" joked Peter when she ran around him and over to the counter to lay down money and the bill from her last table over to Spinner.

Spinner stood at the cash and teased in a girly voice, "Her boyfriends in town." Emma swatted him but blusted.

Peter turned to his next table but snuck in an eyeroll. Great. Sean Cameron was back in town.

"I gotta go soon." she panted almost, smiling widely to Spinner, "Sean's going to be here any minute."

Spinner was counting the till as he lowered his voice and asked her, "You let him know about you know who working you know where?"

Emma and him both looked up to glance at Peter washing a table at the corner of the Dot and Emma sighed, looking back at Spinner, "No. Not yet." she admitted.

"Yikes." joked Spinner and closed the cash, "Better not let him in here then. This place is a FREE fighting zone."

Emma smiled shaking her head, " What are you talking about? Degrassi's biggest fights always happen here."

He chuckled but nodded, "Truuuee."

Emma took off her apron as she felt her phone vibrate and took it out, almost squealing. He was here! She took off her Dot shirt to her white tank top and wore that with her regular jeans.

'outside the Dot'-Sean.

Emma's eyes widened. Oh god, hopefully he wasn't coming in! She turned to the door fast and tried to run to it before he came in, but there he was, already opening the door and the bell jingled. Though she should stop and panic, she couldn't help but smile and her heart pound.

"Back in the hiz-ouse." Spinner joked, greeting Sean as Emma ran to him and put her arms around his neck. Sean almost didn't see her but chuckled and closed his eyes, wrapping his arms tightly around her.

Peter snuck a glance over by the corner and place was almost packed, so Sean hadn't noticed him yet but oh boy had he noticed him. He eyed how happy Emma was as they pulled away from another.

"Heyman." Sean greeted finally, nodding at Spinner but kept his hand in Emmas as she was in a rush to leave and held the door open.

"Come on." she nodded, wishing he'd follow.

"I'm kinda hungry," he admitted, playfully pulling her back, "Can this carnivore get a sandwhich?"

"Spinwhich coming right up." Spinner declared, but shared a look with Emma as she bit the end of her tounge and followed Sean to a table. PLEASE don't see Peter.

He sat without noticing Peter, and Emma sighed in relief. She sat across from him and asked, "How was the drive?"

He leaned back and ran a hand through his hair, smirking slightly, "Hell but.. you can make it up to me." his eyes scanned her, taking every little detail in. He knew it'd only been a week away from another but it was an agonizing week. He missed her to talk to, laugh with... even just look at.

She rolled her eyes smiling and tried to hide her blush, seeing him eyeing her and it made her heart skip. Years had gone by and he still knew how to make her blush. He was such a charmer. But then it was interrupted when she caught Peters eye. He was coming right over. What the HELL did he think he was doing!? Her heart started to race, glancing at Sean and back to Peter with her mouth falling in shock.

"Can I get you guys a drink?"

Emma shut her eyes with a silent wince when she noticed Sean look up, about to answer until his mouth shut in a tight line so he could pause, and clench his jaw. Sean looked back at Emma with a scowl but it wasn't meant for her, she knew that. Well, maybe a little. She had kept this from him. Peter fucking Stone was back in the picture. GREAT timing.

Peter nodded 'cooly' and glanced at Emma, "Good to see you back, Sean." he tried to say friendly like, but his eyes told something different and Sean could tell. Emma was trying to ignore it but Sean saw right through him and for how baby blue and pretty Sean's eyes could be, they looked deadly right now and he gave a dark look up at Peter.

Only reason he hadn't hit his fist against this guys face just yet was because he was still sinking this in and was trying to be a changed man; which meant no punching. Also, this Peters record, he'd go tell his mommy and Sean would be back in jail.

"We're good." Emma insisted, and squeeked a little, eyeing the two but mostly Sean and saw his whole body had tensed up. He had looked back down at his menu, but didn't speak a word. Still tense.

When Peter got the hint and left, Emma sat up and insisted, "Sean I-"

"Here we go!" chimed in Spinner, coming over with Sean's order but Sean had stood up and just tossed a 20 dollar bill on the counter.

"Not hungry anymore." was all he muttered harshly and left with that.

Emma sat in shock for a second before she raced out, hearing the Dots door slam shut, "Sean wait!"

Spinner blinked and looked around. What the hell just happened?

Meanwhile, Emma grabbed Sean's arm from behind when she chased him outside and to his truck, "Sean!" she tried to stop him, but he was so heated at the moment but he whipped around.

"Forget to mention that part Emma?!" he yelled, turning back to her but whipped his trucks door open. "That Peter Stone is back around?"

"Sean, we just work together." she gave him her doe eyes and he shook his head madly. No. That look was NOT going to make this go away.

He pointed at her knowingly and madly, "You knew I wouldn't be okay with this."

"I have no control on who Spinner hires!" Emma cried out, "Him and Peter are like..friends now." even she cringed to the fact of that. Who would want to be Peters friend? Really?

Sean spat through clenched teeth, "I'm not going through this again-", he didn't want the drama, he just wanted Emma. Peter was a little jerk and-

Sean's eyes widened a bit, but shut when Emma had shut him up with a kiss. He sighed a bit, going to pull away but she cupped the sides of his face, her little warm hands against his jawline. He couldn't resist. He pushed his lips back into hers passionately, but mumbled out, "Not fair" he growled between the kiss but then shut his eyes tight and kissed her back harder.

Emma smiled against the kiss. Wow. This shut him up quick! Why didn't she ever think of this before? Emma yelped with a small giggle when he pulled her into his arms and then up against the truck.

From inside the Dot, Spinner smirked walking up behind Peter at the window. He was watching the make out session between the lovers outside and glaring.

"Give it up, lover boy." taunted Spinner, patting his back, "plenty of other fish in the sea. You ain't getting that one." he joked about Emma, glancing at her with Sean, "She's been hooked on him since forever and vise versa."

Peter muttered under his breath but grumbled when Spinner left. He was right. Emma was head over heels with this guy. He stood no chance.

Outside, they had pulled away and Sean nodded into the open trucks door and held it open for Emma, "Get in." he ordered

Emma climbed in and pushed over for Sean to get in, teasing under her breath, "Yes, Sir."

He glared at her playfully when he got in, and shut the door. The truck headed to Snakes house. During the drive, Emma snuck a glance over at Sean. He wasn't so tense anymore, and he looked relaxed...happy. His hand in hers.

...

..God damn he was hot when he was jealous.

Emma hid her smile and looked back out the window, tightening her fingers around his. He lifted her hand and kissed it, keeping his eyes on the road.

(jealous- nick jonas)
I don't like the way he's looking at you
I'm starting to think you want him too
Am I crazy, have I lost ya?
Even though I know you love me, can't help it

I turn my chin music up
And I'm puffing my chest
I'm getting red in the face
You can call me obsessed
It's not your fault that they hover
I mean no disrespect
It's my right to be hellish
I still get jealous

'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants a taste
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous

'Cause you're too sexy, beautiful
And everybody wants a taste
That's why (that's why)
I still get jealous
