So now that Sean was back, and did what he needed in Wasaga, and finally finished things with Ellie. . .he stood on the porch of Emma Nelsons house.

He was antsy, his palms sweaty but cold (Was that possible?). He ran a frustered hand through his dark hair and his thick shaped eyebrows furrowed.

He finally pushed his feet forward and rang the door bell

Oh fuck oh shit, oh fuck!

"What do I even say?" he whispered harshly to himself, cursing that he didn't practice anything.

The door opened, and someone Sean didn't expect opened the door, Manny. She had shorter hair, but same ol face and deer like features as she recognized him. Yea, this would come as a shock.

She then looked a bit angry and suspicious, crossing her arms.

He swallowed hard. Jesus the petite girl could be so intimidating when she wanted to be, "Manny.." he drifts and looks past her through the door way.

She seemed to understand right there what he wanted, and closed the door a little behind her and scowled him. He blinked, a bit taken back and looked down guilty like.

"What are you doing here, Sean?" she asked him. She liked him, she did, but not when he was breaking Emma's heart over and over. She had been such team Semma, and even helped Sean get Emma back once..and the idiot just KEPT screwing up.

"I.." he drifted off.

Manny noticed him quite nervous and shaken up. She was only slightly shocked, but wasn't too suprizing, she knew Emma and Sean and knew them even better when they were together... he was always a nervous wreck when it came to Emma. Nobody would probably believe her because this was big bad Sean, but he did, Emma made him nervous.

He finally straightened up and looked stern, "I need to talk to Emma."

She leaned on the doorway almost tauntingly, "I need to repaint my nails," she looked at her old manicured nails.

Sean gave her an annoyed look, he knew it wasn't going to be easy but he didn't know his first challenge was just getting past the door.

"Do.." Sean looked confused, "Do you live here now?"

Manny sighed, "Lets not get into it, but yeah." she nodded.

He was so confused but 'oh'd and nodded, "Right..." he snapped out of it, "Manny," he looked helplessly at her, "I have to talk to her."

He saw her eyes soften, and she looked like she pitied him and was about to let him enter, but then her Santos sassy-ness flashed back into her eyes.

"And why should I let you?" she taunted him madly, throwing her arm out, "I've seen you like this, more than once. You always make me believe you're changed and I hop back on the Semma train and then it just slaps me right in the face when you prove yourself over and over."

He nodded, completely understanding that and stepped forward, "I've changed."

Manny eyed him suspiciously, and sized him up, "Yea, maybe you lost your little 'gangster' look and decided to try a new look," She pointed at to his hair and stepped forward while putting her hands on her hips, "But I don't see anything else that's changed." she sneered and finally went to turn to walk back into the house-

"I love her, Manny."

Manny stopped, but didn't turn. Her arms went back to crossing over her chest.

Sean painfully looked down at his hands and clenched them, "I can't stop." he looked into her eyes hopelessly when she finally turned, "I know what you mean, that I was a jerk. I took Emma for granted before cause in the back of my mind I felt like I didn't deserve her, I always blamed her for making me feel that way, but it was my own insecurities. I intentionally hurt her over and over cause I thought, hey why not? I fuck everything up in the end anyways right ? She'd find someone better anyways..leave me in the dust!"

Manny softened, seeing Sean's eyes watering up and he was actually struggling his emotions.

"Sean."

He looked startled, like he forgot she was there and her heart felt for him. He had changed. He did need this chance with Emma.

He looked away sadly, "I won't find anyone like her ever again. If I don't get one last chance, I'm screwed for life. I'll probably go down that path every single person who knows me thought I would.. .failure, criminal, hell! Drugs? Alcohol.." he drifted off and snickered bitterly, "Girls like Emma aren't suppose to even glance my way. I'd probably end up with another Amy in the end." he looked so fearful.

"Sean!" Manny put her hands on his shoulders and he jumped, "Reeelax." she sang sort of teasingly.

He still looked wrecked, but nodded and smiled slightly to her nicer tone.

Manny gave him a look of sympathy and then stepped back to admit, "She's out." she cringed and confessed, "Me and Emma have been sort of a, man hater club this year."

Sean looked confused but smirked slightly, "Classic you two." he teased.

She kept cringing though, finally getting to the part that might tick him off, "She's getting Peter back for me right now..."

Sean paused. Getting who back? Back how? For What?

"What?" Sean tried not to snap, but was so confused.

Manny bit the end of her tounge, "Not like I wanna explain this but lets just say while you were away, Degrassi played a home video infront of the whole school, starring..my boobs."

Sean's eyes widened and he coughed awkwardly

"Yea." Manny nodded and explained, "Peter recorded it and showed everybody. I was drunk. He had some thing for Emma before it all went down so tonight, he's having a party, and Emma's going. I may of talked Emma into maybe getting revenge on him for me."

Sean's body froze, "How?" he shook his head, "Do I wanna know? Just tell me she's at least not with anyone, or him."

"She's not with, with him.." Manny said with a wince, "But she might physically be with him right now.."

Seans heart started to pound hard and he looked like a lost pussy, "You didn't..."

Manny looked guilty now and exclaimed, "We just thought it'd be fair if his certain..parts were exposed as well. She's not gonna DO Anything Sean!" she insisted, seeing him back up, "She's just gonna make him think they are."

It still made his skin crawl, and he ran to his car, opening it and Manny watched him race in and out the driveway. The red car sped down the road.

Woah. Romantic. .

Manny sighed and smiled, shaking her head. She did hope he got to Emma first, maybe it was wrong to sink as low as Peter. She trusted Sean would find Emma first. . infact, she hoped he would.
