Author's Note:
Alright you guys! I know how old this seems and, yes they've been done before I'm sure, but I had to do my own White Wedding/Just Jane/Sean&Emma Tribute. I looked for it and I didn't see any like this, so I hope that everyone enjoys it!
Please Review if you do!
Jazzy Raveler!
Disclaimer: I don't own Degrassi
And the song- Just Jane-is their's to…
I think
Those Bastards!
Just Emma, Just Sean,
Just Another Beautiful Beginning…
"Happy Fifth Wedding Anniversary Snake and Spike!"
The banner read hanging over the large white gazebo.
Emma Nelson stood against a tree and smiled,
In a daze almost
So amazed at her parent's happiness
It had been five long, not to mention hard, years.
But their love?
It had lasted, and Emma marveled at them as they danced once again
So happy
Staring into one another's eyes
As in love now
As they had been that day
Years ago
It was an average day, dull in every way
Until, until the sun broke through.
Sean, had heard about it,
Who hadn't, Snake and Spike's wedding day had been infamous in the halls of Degrassi.
A student turned teacher marrying a former classmate?
That wasn't the kind of wedding you hear about every day.
No, Sean, wasn't invited…
Why would he be?
He and Emma had broken up only a few months after they'd gotten back together
And there was no way possible she would've invited him.
Manny was to busy being obsessed with Craig now to think about trying to
But, Sean decided to go anyway.
This wasn't just some anniversary party
This was he and Emma's anniversary
He'd never stopped loving her
And this would be the perfect time to convince her,
He decided, as he got into his car
And then glanced up at the sky.
It looked like rain.
I hope I get there in time…
He thought, driving his car towards the beach
Where he knew the party would be held.
As he stepped out of his car
He looked across towards the wide beach of sand in front of him.
And there she was, leaning against the same tree they'd been standing under
When they'd had their first kiss.
She was laughing, talking to Manny.
And he looked at her pretty brown eyes
Smiling, as he watched her smiling
Not even noticing that the clouds had parted…
It wasn't in the sky, no
The light came from her eyes
She turned, turned the grey sky blue.
Then he felt something tapping his nose,
And he glanced up seeing that, yes it was raining
Drizzling really, and sighing a breathe of relief
He made his way down the beach
With one thing in mind:
Get to Emma
On that cold September morning
I saw her in the rain.
To me she was the moon and stars and the world
Emma stood beneath the tree laughing with Manny.
"Remember my hair…!" she was saying and they both laughed
Remembering her puffy perm-gone-extremely-wrong afro
"Much better this time," she said sliding her hand down her smooth golden locks.
She looked over and saw Craig walking towards them.
"Manuela," he said with a laugh…"May I have this dance?"
And Manny looked at Emma, seemingly for approval,
Emma just nodded and Manny gripped her boyfriends arms happily
As she watched the two of them walk away,
It suddenly hit Emma why she'd been humming along with the oncoming melody
Is was…their song.
The first song her parents-as husband and wife-had ever danced to.
And the first song that she and…
Emma bit her lip, the memory was too painful to recall and she just stared out at the ocean instead.
Wondering when she'd ever get over him
As the song played out the painful memories…
She was Just Jane.
But she's everything to me, she is just Jane.
And she's all I'll ever need.
She gives more than she takes
And she takes my breath away.
Yeah in the world's eyes she'll always be just Jane
But because of her, my world has changed
Oh yeah
Sean walked up to her slowly.
He could hear the song playing,
And he remembered it just like it was yesterday
He'd been standing there
Under that very tree
Wishing that she'd notice him
And when she had
He'd offered her
In his own way
To dance
After she told him that
"Nobody really caught my interest."
He laughed a little thinking of their role reversal
And he stopped staring at her uneasily.
And once again waiting to see what would happen…
I tried to catch her eyes
Emma pushed away from the tree
Sure, that she wouldn't be missed
And walked slowly towards the ocean.
Even though it had only drizzled a little
The sand was a little softer still
And she took off her shoes,
Placing her feet in the sand and trying to focus on the feel of the sand as opposed to
the memories that she wasn't supposed to care about,
But couldn't help but to remember.
They'd had their first kiss to this song
He'd been her first love
And even though he'd broken her heart,
Time and again,
She still loved him.
And this damn song bringing up all of their better memories wasn't helping any.
She stared straight ahead of her
And thought, that in the corner of her eye, she saw him
But she just walked pass whoever it was,
Heading for the water
I'm delusional, she thought, frowning
as she turned and looked again,
Not having been able to resist
Seeing who it was…
As she was walking by at first,
At first she seemed confused
Sean's eyes met Emma's for the first time in months
And he smiled only slightly
Not sure of her reaction.
She didn't move,
He took this as a good sign and stepped toward her a little.
"Hey…"
He said shoving his hand in his pockets,
The same way he'd done this very day,
Five years ago.
"Looks like a party…"
He said, now standing right in front of her, but turning and staring off at the rest of the people dancing to the song-
Their song-
Beneath the gazebo.
I saw she wasn't sure, my smile was meant for her.
I said I can't help but notice you.
Emma wasn't sure what to say
Her first thought
What is he doing here?
Mixed with the other
Oh my God! He's actually here!
And she felt a little too stunned to say anything.
Instead she just smiled a little
And thought,
This is where we started over first…
Maybe this is were we can start over again
And when you find that someone special.
You don't let them slip away.
Not really sure what to say next,
Sean just stared at Emma
Waiting for her to say something
Anything
But she said nothing
Only looked at him
With a
Pained…
Calm…
Exposed expression?
He couldn't tell
Emma Nelson was hard to read.
Emma smiled a little finally and said sincerely,
"Emma Nelson," as she stuck out her hand towards Sean
Sean's eyes moved from her hand to her face
And understanding her meaning he said,
"Sean Cameron," and softly held her hand…
So tell me what your name is, she answered by saying Just Jane.
But she's everything to me, she is just Jane.
And she's all I'll ever need.
She gives more than she takes
And she takes my breath away.
Oh yeah in the world's eyes she'll always be just Jane
But because of her, my world has changed
Oh
Emma pulled Sean closely to her
And said in his ear
"It's a slow song…don't you wanna dance?"
He nodded and put his arms around her waist
Moving slowly with her body close to his.
Nothing extraordinary, Emma noted
Of her own nervous swaying.
But she was with Sean Cameron
And that made the dance special…
Oh, she might seem ordinary
But she was hard to find
Sean couldn't believe that he was actually in her arms
Holding onto to her waist.
And feeling…everything, all over again.
This dance was the most important dance he'd ever have
More important than their first even
Because this was the dance that would determine if there was any future for the two of them.
He counted on Emma being the same
And he held onto her
And this moment
Waiting for something amazing to happen
The same way it had the first time.
Come on Em,
He thought
Praying that she'd forgive him
Just like she'd always done before.
She had just suggested they start over,
But he still wasn't sure what that meant as far as they were concerned.
And he looked in her eyes
Holding his breath,
One thing that really impresses is her love
And her love's just mine, just mine
She is just Jane.
But she's everything to me
She is just Jane.
And she's all I'll ever need.
She gives more than she takes
And she takes my breath away.
Emma swayed against the wind
The light growing dim
And the song gently fading
And she could feel the moment slipping away.
No more dance…
No more Sean…
And she couldn't just pretend that nothing had happened,
That he hadn't hurt her over and over
But all her heart needed…
Was his apology.
His declaration that, yes
Things had been said and done
And yes, he'd hurt her
But he still loved her.
And he forgived her for having been silly enough to let him go…
Yet again.
Emma teared up a little
As she looked up into his eyes
Loving him now as much as she had that first dance
The urge to kiss him resurfacing and pulling at her.
But, she determined slowly, this time she wouldn't make the first move,
She wouldn't put herself out there to be hurt.
And she waited in utter silence as the last few verses found her ears,
And Sean's, the two of them looking at one another with full eyes.
In the world's eyes she'll always be just Jane
Sean knew the song by heart
It was ending slowly
And he could already feel her pulling away a little.
But he clung to her
Determined to get his last few moments,
And looking in her eyes
Remembering that day
He did what he'd wanted to then
What she'd done for him…
And he leaned toward her
Placing his lips carefully onto hers.
Waiting for her response.
And she immediately pulled him toward her.
Kissing him back passionately
Tears from both of their faces
Treading across the others.
Because of her, my world has changed, oh changed
She is just Jane, she is just Jane
She is just Jane
To passersby who saw the 2 dancing to a faint tune in the distance…
They may've seemed like 2 strangers.
Never speaking,
Never looking at one another,
Just moving gracefully
And waiting for the song to be over,
So that their separate lives could began, once again…
But Sean, Emma, and all the people who stood on beneath the gazebo,
Watching the two in amazement with happy sighs on their hearts and tongues
Manny, Craig, Snake and Spike…
They knew
That this dance was just another beautiful beginning for the two of them.
Hopefully one that would alter them both for the rest of their lives…
The same way the first dance had…
Because of her…
My world has changed, oh changed
