Chapter 1- Not So Good Surprise
[Disclaimer: I don't own Degrassi:TNG or its characters]
My name is JayLuver for those who don't know. This is my second story on and I usually only write them dealing with Jay. Anyways the story is about Jay and Ellie, NO they aren't hooking up but they will be with other people. Hope you like it and please review/question-open to harsh ones too…
Facts
Jay works at Piano Palace that his childhood friend's dad owns His mom died when he was four Jay and Emma didn't happen/No one knows who did the paint and feathers Alex and Jay peacefully broke up when she move to the states It's the second semester of Senior year and italics are thoughts
….Back to the story….
"Jay, please don't go " the slim, brown-haired girl whined.
"I have to go. I promised my dad I'd meet him for dinner." Jay said getting out of the bed. "He said there was some surprise or something."
The girl stood up behind Jay in her shorts and tank hugging him from behind as he stretched. "Call me when it is over to tell me what happened." She said kissing his neck. Jay kissed the girls cheek, "bye Tori." Jay walked out of the townhouse into his orange civic blasting his music speeding to the other side of town.
Ever since Alex left I became quite interested in my co-worker Tori. We work at Piano Palace together. She really isn't my type though. She's not an airhead, but she still isn't the smartest apple either. She's tall and slim with brown hair. She talks all the time making sure she pronounces clearly and professionally like everyone is watching her on T.V. Don't get me wrong, she's cute and sexier than Alex behind closed doors, but I go for girls with more edge and personality. What attracted me to her was her singing on day at work.
Flashback…
"When darkness turns to light
It ends tonight, it ends tonight
Just a little insight won't make this right
It's too late to fight, it ends tonight, it ends tonight." Tori sat on the stool doing her homework singing the All American Rejects song. Jay listened taken in on how good she was. It was raining outside and they were the only ones in there. No one would want to buy an instrument or take lessons in this weather. She continued to sing the song into the next verse and back to the chorus again. Jay, interested in the tune, sat at the piano and played the chorus part. She finished the verse looking up at him.
"I did not know you could play the piano." She said over enthusiastically.
"Why do you think I work here?" Jay said sounding a bit rude.
"Oh, I just thought since you started hanging here since you were five that you just got used to it."
"Well, yea. Me and the owners son always were here when he had to work and my dad wasn't home. We kind of taught ourselves how to play."
"Wow that is cool. So you can't read music or anything?"
"Nah, just play by ear."
"I love music. I want to sing when I'm older."
Jay nodded slowly and it got silent until she walked over and sat beside him in front of the piano lightly tapping the keys. "So what about you?" she asked.
"What?" Jay asked not knowing what she meant.
"Are you going to be a musician when you grow up?"
"Yeah right. I can't picture myself playing the piano for a living." Jay chuckled making it awkward when the girl starred up at him.
"Tough guy, eh?" She smiled looking into his eyes.
Jay turned his head and began to tap the keys like she did before. "What do you mean?"
"There's a lot of guys like you at the institute where I go to school at. Love music but have to big of an ego to show it."
"Hey now, wait a minute. I could show it if I wanted to. Its just…a personal thing." They laughed at how naughty that sounded.
"um hmm, sure." She smiled at him. Jay smiled back kissing her.
...End Flashback
Although we're close and I like her, she likes to hear herself talk sometimes and I just want to scream SHUT UP! Anyways, before I went home with Tori, my dad told me that after work to meet him at Lone Star. There was going to be a surprise. I'm actually kind of interested. One, because we NEVER go out to eat.(Unless you include nachos at his bar he works at.) Two, he doesn't talk all chipper like he did on the phone saying 'surprise' and 'be on time Jayson!' And three, because he usually doesn't bother me whatever the case may be.
Jay arrived at work not bothering to change out his work shirt. He was so tired from work-and Tori- that he just wanted to see the 'surprise' and go to bed. He walked in and asked where Andrew Hogart was sitting. The waiter walked to the table and saw his dad waiving his hand over with a big grin on his face, similar to Jay's. He was sitting in front of some lady and a red head. Jay smirked wondering what this was about and next thing he knew, He standing in front of Ellie Nash and her mom.
[Ellie POV]
I don't believe this. Here I am with my mom in this western restaurant waiting for my moms 'new boyfriend's' son to come. I'm so angry she would do this to my dad. He's only been gone for two years and she wants to start dating. (sigh) I wonder if I want the quesadillas or the Cesar salad…
[No POV]
"Jay?!"
"Nash?" Jay hadn't seen Ellie since Sean left. She still looked the same, torch hair and all.
"Wait you two know each other?" Andrew asked.
"Yea, Drew I remember him. From that party a while back." Ellie's mom noted.
Wait, a party? Oh, that homecoming party Sean and Ellie threw when she moved in with him. Ha! I remember her give Sean the ol' slap around. "Dad, what's going on?"
"Well, this is what the surprise is. Me and Caroline, we've been dating and decided why not take it to the next level?"
"You're getting married?!" Ellie and Jay say in unison.
"No, of course not. But we are moving in together."
"What?!" They say together again.
"But mom, what about da-"
"Eleanor don't!" Caroline snarled at her. "So, Jay. It's very nice to meet you."
Jay looked at the dark eyed women raising his eyebrow.
Authors Note: I will be going back and forth between POV and narration. POV will be in italics and mainly will be Jay's unless I say otherwise…oh and please review!
