There's No Business Like Show Business

Sean, Jay, Alex, and Marco slowly walked into the overly lit auditorium of the University of Toronto campus. Marco was buzzing around like a little bumblebee so excited to see Ellie on stage, even if she was forcibly in the show for a class. Alex was going to find seats and Jay and Sean were following her.

"Dude, why are we going to this thing? Ellie and I aren't on good terms and I honestly don't think she'd be too happy to see me here" Sean said in a huff, not only afraid to see Ellie but also not really wanting to sit through a 2 hour musical.

"A, I don't got a choice. I promised Lexxi she got me for the day and she chose to go to this and I am not suffering alone. B, Ellie is over it… she won't care if you're here or not so stop trying the paper thin excuse. Just because you and Emma broke up doesn't mean you have to be all mopey. Last time I checked you broke it off, so just shut up and enjoy the show!" Jay said laughing.

They took their spots next to Alex and within a few moments Marco, the bouncing boy, came and sat with them along with the infamous Craig Manning.

"Craig! Dude? You're back from Vancouver, nice to see ya!" Sean said.

"Yeah… thought I'd surprise Ellay and maybe get her to forgive me… ya know." Craig looked uncomfortable about having to explain what happened between him and Ellie last time he was here but luckily Sean already knew.

The curtain opened and the lights went off. There were a bunch of people on stage singing about some sort of high school love and everyone stared at Ellie. She came on stage looking as gorgeous as ever and sang like an angel. The shock on Craig's face was so funny that Jay broke into quiet hyseterics. Sean laughed too but was too taken aback by how gorgeous Ellie looked to really care. The show went on and Sean faintly remembered Manny being on stage and Ellie getting to say "And look it's our very own resident whore!" to Manny and getting to flick her off. Marco had a face of awe and everyone could tell that Marco was actually quite proud of the line, even if it was in character.

The first act was over and they all sat there in silence for the whole fifteen minutes not sure what to do. The show came back on and they all watched Ellie and Manny run all over the stage with Ellie being the obvious leading lady. The ending came and went and Sean really could care less. All he really did care was that when Ellie was up for curtain call all of them went wild.

They all went to the lobby to meet a very tired over-make-upped Ellie. She smiled and gave Marco, Alex and even Jay a hug. It was then that she noticed both Sean and Craig.

"Sean! Nice to see you… glad to see you and Jay are still close as ever" Ellie said while giving him a small hug, enough to not be rude but not enough to say that she really was excited to see him.

Sean smiled and twiddled his fingers as he stared at her gorgeous hazel eyes and porcelain skin wondering how he had chosen Emma over Ellie.

"Craig… you're… here. That's lovely" Ellie managed to mutter and walked off with Alex and Marco to go get coffee down the street.

Jay, Craig and Sean all looked at each other.

"Okay dudes, you both have been staring at the girl all night. Are you two just horny or in love?" Jay finally blurted out.

Sean and Craig stared at each other for a second then stared at Jay.

Sean's mind was going a mile a minute. Do I love her? Is it possible that I am still in love with Ellie? He thought to himself. He nodded at Jay.

"Yeah… I guess I do." He said with a smile.

Craig looked at him angrily and stormed off in a huff. Sean didn't know what he was going to do or if Craig was going to get in the way but he did know that no matter what it took, he wanted his girl back.
