Seems like just yesterday

You were a part of me

I used to stand so tall

I used to be so strong

Your arms around me tight

Everything, it felt so right

Unbreakable, like nothin' could go wrong

Now I can't breathe

No, I can't sleep

I'm barely hanging on

Emma walked into school the next day, she had covered up how much she had cried extremely well with her foundation.

"That was fun last night" Jay says.

"Yeah, a blast" Emma says uneasily.

"You okay, Em? You seem…strange" Jay says and stops at the bottom of the stairs.

"I'm fine" Emma continues walking.

"Are you sure?" Jay asks quietly.

"Yes Jay, I'm sure" Emma rolls her eyes practically to the back of her head.

Emma walks into the main hall of Degrassi and sees Sean and Ellie kissing, she looks at them.

"What do you want?" Sean asks grumpily after realizing Emma was watching.

Emma stands there, unsure of what to answer.

Here I am, once again

I'm torn into pieces

Can't deny it, can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up, deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

"Nothing" she finally answers as she turns around and walks away.

Ellie and Sean continue kissing.

"Hey, Emmie" Craig says coming up behind her.

"It's Emma Craig" Emma fights away tears.

"What's wrong?" he asks.

"Nothing" she says.

"Come on Emma, you're crying" he persists.

"None of your damn business" Emma says angrily.

"Emma!" Craig shouts.

Emma stops and turns around.

"Go away, Craig, you can't help me, all you'll be able to do is kick the person's ass, and that's only if you don't take your medication" Emma retorts furiously.

Craig looks hurt as he turns around and runs out the doors of Degrassi.

For some unaccountable reason, Emma feels happy for making Craig that upset and continues walking down the hall.

"Emma, I heard what happened…wanna talk?" Manny asks in a genuinely friendly voice.

"Get away you slut" Emma says politely.

Manny stands there almost on the brink of tears. She is wondering what happened to sweet old Emma?

"You've changed, from Emma the sweetheart, to Emma the bitch" Manny says and walks to her locker.

Emma considers, for a moment, yelling at Manny, seeing as how it already made her feel better about Sean hurting her, then she reconsiders…and decides not to.

I told you everything

Opened up and let you in

You made me feel alright

For once in my life

Now all that's left of me

Is what I pretend to be

So together, but so broken up inside

'Cause I can't breathe

No, I can't sleep

I'm barely hangin' on

After school, Emma decides to go down to the ravine, not with Jay, but to smoke.

As she approaches the ravine, she smells the bonfires and cigarettes.

"Light me" she says as she pulls out a joint from a plastic bag.

"You old enough?" the guy with the lighter, who is obviously high, asks.

"Just light the damn joint!" Emma exclaims.

The guy shrugs and lights Emma's joint, sending a nervous chill up her spine. What if she gets addicted? What if she can't stop? What if she gets caught? All these questions floated through her mind.

Just before she puts the joint to her lips to take a drag, she hears a hollow voice call out to her.

"Emma!" Sean is shouting.

Emma looks over and sees Sean emerging from his car and looking at her a little confused.

"Do you even know what that is?" he asks as he comes nearer to her.

"Yes, it's a marijuana joint" she says and before she places it to her lips, Sean whacks it away.

"What are you? Insane?" he asks.

"You're insane, I'm just in love with you" Emma picks up the joint from the ground puts the tip of it in her mouth and takes a short drag.

She pulls it away and coughs a little.

"That's it, I'm taking you home' Sean takes the drag and hands it to someone standing nearby. He grabs Emma's arm and pulls her into his car.

"I am a big girl, Sean, I can take care of myself" Emma argues as she puts her seatbelt on.

Sean slams the door and walks around, he opens the driver door and climbs in.

"If you're a big girl, you know what marijuana can do to you. I don't want that to happen to you" he says as he drives away.

"Not like you care about me" Emma mutters, not quietly enough though, Sean hears.

"I do care about you, Emma, a lot. You're a great person and a better friend" he says.

"I'm always the friend now, aren't I?" she asks herself.

Here I am, once again

I'm torn into pieces

Can't deny it, can't pretend

Just thought you were the one

Broken up, deep inside

But you won't get to see the tears I cry

Behind these hazel eyes

"Thanks for giving Emma a ride home, Sean," Spike thanked Sean as Emma got out of the car, "welcome back."

"No problem, Mrs. Nelson" Sean says and drives away.

"What the hell were you doing at the ravine again?" Spike asks angrily.

"Smoking weed" Emma replies and starts walking up the steps to her house.

"What? Emma…what's gotten into you?" Spike asks.

"Sean" Emma thinks to herself. She shrugs in reply to her mom's question and continues walking up the steps.
