So I typically write Eclare…BUT this is going to be alittle different. Just a one shot…might make it a story, but I am starting to ship Jenna and Jake :-) So therefore I am writing this!

At least give it a shot?

You Deserve Better

Jenna's POV

"You know, maybe I just don't deserve guys." I sobbed into Alli's arms as she hugged me.

We were sitting outside on the Degrassi steps.

"Jenna, come on now, you know that isn't true." She pulled me off of her so that we were looking eye to eye.

I sniffled and brushed my tears away.

"Hey, you just deserve better than KC. What he did was wrong, and you know it. You have been through a lot and you deserve to be happy." She smiled and stood up reaching to help me up.

I smiled small and we both linked arms, walking inside the building. "It's just. I loved him, and I thought that he loved me."

Alli stared at me with her big brown eyes, arching an eyebrow. "You can't let that scum bag get to you. You know what you need?" She asked as we continued to walk down the hallways together.

"Hmm?" I wasn't exactly the bit interested in what she would have to say.

"You need a new man Jenna. Someone who will treat you well, who will love you, and who will make you feel happy."

"Yeah, but what guy would want me?" I looked down and gained some of my tears back. "Everyone knows I'm the bitch who stole KC from Saint Clare, and everyone knows I got pregnant with him, and was stupid enough to fall for and let KC get away with cheating." I blinked some tears as they fell down my cheek. "Face it Alli, I don't deserve anyone." I un hooked arms and ran off into the music room.

I slammed the door in the empty room and sat against the wall, shoving my face into my hands, sobbing into my hands.

I heard foot steps come toward me but ignored them thinking it was just Alli trying to get me to stop crying.

"You ok?" A deep voice sounded. Definitely not Alli.

I sighed and wiped my teary blue eyes, slowly rising my head up. "Yeah, I'll be fi…" I stopped as I looked up at the voice.

He knelt down at my level giving me a concerned look. "You don't look ok." He got down on his knees right in front of me and pulled out a red handkerchief, handing it to me. "Here, you got some of that black make up all over your face." He smirked.

I smiled small. "S-sorry. I-I."

He cut me off. "Don't apologize." He sat down right next to me. "Now I know we don't really know each other, but you look like you really need to talk to someone." He folt his hands together, and looked straight ahead smiling small.

"Ok well for starters, I'm Jenna." I smiled a little still wiping the mascara off of my face with the handkerchief.

"Jake." He shook my hand then let it go. "Yeah, I actually saw you on Next Teen Star."

I automatically started feeling happy. "Really?"

Jake smiled and nodded. "And the funny thing is, I never had much interest of that show, but the moment I laid eyes on you I voted for you. Every week, until you got eliminated."

I smiled and blinked a few more tears out, looking to the side.

"Hey why the tears? Am I not that handsome enough of a fan?" He smirked.

I looked over at him and giggled smiling, and brushing the tears away. "No, actually that really cheered me up. So much I am crying."

Jake stood up offering his hand to help me up. "What do you say we go for a little walk?"

I reached up and grabbed his hand as he helped me up. We exited the classroom, and walked through the hallways.

"Jake, this is going to sound so weird, but I don't think I've been this happy in a long time." I smiled and picked up my fried chicken leg, biting into it.

"Hey, we all deserve to be happy. I couldn't just let a pretty girl like you sit there and cry." He took out his wallet and grabbed out a dollar bill.

I placed my greasy hand over his. "Don't pay for me."

"No. I got this one. Just settle down and eat your chicken." He placed the dollar into the leather bill cover.

"You really think I am pretty?" I asked him getting back on topic.

"You are a very pretty girl." He smiled.

"But weren't you dating Clare?" I knew they had a strange thing going on with each other. I have to admit it was very sickening to me.

Jakes face dropped at the name and he rolled his eyes. "Don't even get me started on her."

"Is everything ok?"

"Let's just say she went too far, and had a little too high of expectations for us. She no longer lives at the house." He took his chicken and ate it.

I sighed. "Sorry."

Jake shook his head as he was still chewing. Once he finished chewing he continued. "No don't be. I may have loved her, but I think then and there I defiantly realized it wasn't meant to be."

I frowned, and just looked down at my chicken. "I know it's not easy to deal with a break up." I said quietly.

This time Jake put his hand over mine. "You have got to let him go Jenna."

I looked up into Jakes eyes and just got lost as I gazed into them.

Jake lightly patted my hand. "He was not the one for you. Any guy who messes up that bad, is not worth a second chance."

I barely caught what he had said. I was so lost in his eyes. I shook my head and removed my hand from his. "I got to go." I stood up and slowly walked out of the dot.

Jake followed me out, and gently grabbed my wrist. He pinned his eyebrows together, and kept his grip on my wrist. "You're scared I know."

I froze and just right hen again stared into his hazel eyes. "So what if I am. I have every right to be." A single tear fell down my cheek.

Jake took his other hand and swiped the tear away with his thumb, then cupping my cheek.

My eyes widened for a split second but then immediately shut as Jake leaned in placing a soft kiss on my lips.

I kissed back, but then pulled away softly as we looked into each others eyes. We then re connected lips. This time adding a little more mouth to it. Our lips moved in slow motion, but we broke apart and both gave each other shocked looks.

Jake pulled away slowly, but kept his hand over my cheek, moving my long blonde hair behind my shoulder. "You still scared?"

I widened my blue eyes and nodded slowly. "Are you?"

Jake nodded. "Hell yes." He stroked my cheek with his thumb.

I smiled and chuckled small. "So."

Jake removed his hand from my cheek. "Call me tonight?"

"Yeah. I talk to you tonight." I replied casually.
