Manny had made Emma some tea, knowing she needed it. But as much as Emma looked a wreck, this was great news to Manny.

Emma had been walking around so numbly, it scared Manny, but now, flying through emotions! She couldn't really blame Sean..

...but seriously?! Her and Sean had sex?!

"Sean Cameron?" Manny had to ask again, sitting back on the couch and holding her own tea.

Emma sipped hers, nodding sadly.

Manny looked up, smirking a bit, "god, you two, like a moth to a flame."

Silence.

Emma had to admit, that was the perfect definition of her relationship with Sean Cameron. He was the fire, and she was the tiny bug he could light up any second he wanted to, then crush anytime he wanted to.

"You guys really did it?"

Emma whined, "Mannyyyy." how many times did she have to say it?

"Okay, sorry. Just woah." Manny declared, her eyes still wide and she shook her head. She grinned a little, "Was he good?"

"I don't have much to compare to." Emma muttered, sipping her tea again but couldn't help but remember the 'eruption' Sean got out of her and she blushed madly.

Manny didn't catch it as she was looking at her feet and shrugged, "You don't need to, the guy either sucks or not and you said before he was good." she looked back over, catching the blush now and giggled.

"Can we not?" begged Emma. She thought about it too much as it is.

"you're blushing." Manny smirked then gasped, "Emma! He's with Ellie now!"

"Oh Jeez, really?!" Emma said sarcastically.

Manny cringed, "Yea...guess that's why you were so upset. That's why right?" she asked, eyeing her.

Emma flushed a little, "Well.. no." she admitted.

Manny frowned a bit disappointingly and Emma shrugged helplessly. She couldn't help not feel bad, she hated Ellie now.. she hated that she did, but she did.

"Then why?" Manny had to wonder.

"We didn't...use anything." Emma said, biting her lower lip.

Protection.

Manny eyes widened in horror and she grabbed the cup from Emma's hands and put it on the table. She grabbed the blonde up and Emma even yelped.

"Grab your purse." Manny yelled, "STAT!"

AT THE DRUGSTORE...

"Thank god for this stuff." sighed Manny, grabbing Plan B, "Wish I knew about this back at my time." she joked.

Emma passed her a slight playful glare.

"Nobody wants to go through another pregnancy and I know you don't believe in abortion." Manny said, handing her the Plan B pack, "So before it's too late, chew on these." Manny taunted.

Emma looked down at it, it was something girls took if they didn't take the pill. It did the same thing, killed any eggs if 'hatched'... .. ew, what a gross thing to think. Emma shook her head out of it. It said she only had three days to take it or it wouldn't work. Oh thank god ! Just solid timing.

They bought it, and sweet enough, Manny pretended it was hers as she paid for it for Emma.

They heard giggling, and behind them coming up to the cashier just had to be Ashley Kerwin and Ellie.

Emma instantly turned to Manny who tried to keep her eyes glued to the cashier who was putting the money through.

BAG THE DAMN PILLS ALREADY! Manny screamed in her head.

Ashley and Ellie stopped, and shared a look. Great. Them.

Emma kept her back turned, and felt like she wanted to puke.

Ashley ofcourse, had to see what the cashier gave back to Manny, "Wow," she said out loud, "Planning another baby?" she couldn't help but taunt.

Manny frooze and so did Emma, flashing a look at Ashley and glanced at Ellie. Ellie had no reason to hate Emma, not knowingly, but she still passed her a slight glare.

Manny swallowed hard, "I-" she looked back to Emma but grabbed the pills. To hell with Ashley Kerwin, "I'm sorry your life is so sex less you have to care about mine." she taunted her.

Ellie's mouth even fell and Ashley gasped and glared, watching Manny grab Emma's hand and run out of there.

Ellie and Ashley shared an unbelievable look.

Sean sat on his couch, staring at the spot Emma had sat in days ago... when he had bent down infront of her, and kissed her wrists, and then-

"Heyyy." sang Ellie ever so sweetly, coming inside and shutting the door behind her.

He sat up, rubbing his sweaty palm on his jeans, "Hey." he greeted, and ran his fingers through his hair frusteratingly.

"You'd never believe what we saw." snickered Ellie shaking her head and walking to the couch.

"What?"

"Manny Santos."

Sean paused and gave her a wierd look. "We see her every day at school."

"No, at the drug store! With Emma." Ellie then shut up, noticing she said her name out loud and she's never done that.

She even saw Sean flinch, but she swore it was just because she reminded him of the shooting or something.

She went on, "She was buying...ugh no, you guess." she laughed a bit, like it'd be a fun game and sat indian style beside him, facing him.

"I don't have time to play games." he hissed.

Her mouth fell but she tried not to take it to heart, " ." she hopped to it as she stood up, "A baby killing pill."

That's what Ashley called it at least. Okay, so Ellie was a virgin even in all oral areas. The furthest she had gone with Sean was make out sessions and letting him grab her boobs. She just, I guess she was waiting for her scars to heal and go away until she felt good enough to really give herself to him.

"W-what?" Sean suddenly stood up and followed her to the kitchen. What the hell was that! He had no idea how this shit worked, "Emma or Manny?"

Ellie awkwardly tossed him a look over her shoulder and opened the door, "Manny." she laughed a bit, "You think Degrassi's most pure and innocent would be buying that ? Having.. you know." she joked.

Sean tried not to glare at her. Where did she think she could begin to talk? She was a virgin too.. .well, guess he couldn't say 'too' now that Emma's innocence was gone. . and he had it, forever.

"So Manny was buying it?" Sean had to make sure.

Ellie was taking it the wrong way, well, kinda. She slammed the fridge door closed, "Why? Is it hurtful to think your precious ex is doing the dirty?"

Sean flinched and his eyes widened at her and so did hers. She covered her mouth and he looked down at the ground, mortified.

Did she know?

Ellie stepped closer to him, "Sean I'm so sorry." she quickly said.

He looked at her strangely. She was sorry?

"I just .. " she sighed, this was it. She sat at the kitchen table and gestured for him to sit, but he couldn't move, "I don't know why I'm feeling so hateful towards Emma Nelson so much lately." she looked down and tapped her fingers on the table, "I think I'm upset that I coulda lost you because of her"

Sean shook his head, confused, "Lost me?"

"You could of died!" Ellie yelled at him, getting upset, "You could of been shot because of her! That stupid little-" she choked, beginning to cry and Sean couldn't believe she had thought like this.

He closed his eyes. What was he doing? Maybe he needed to tell Ellie..

She stood up, and walked to him, throwing herself in his arms, "I just don't know what I woulda done if I lost you." she trembled.

Sean froze like them, numbly hugging her back. Well there goes the telling her part. He was afraid it might make her fall back on old habits..and if he asked her to move out, he couldn't make her go back to her moms..it'd ruin her life.

What the hell was he to do?

"It's okay, El." he whispered and she melted in his strong arms. .
