Ch 1
This story is based loosely off of sweet home Alabama and the notebook it doesn't follow anything in any order just takes some small ideas…it is a Janny story…of course….there are just some minor changes…Paige and Marco aren't from Degrassi, they do come in later though…okay here I go.
Manny walked up arm and arm with Emma.
"Karaoke bar finally!" Manny said happily. Jay rolled his eyes and put out his smoke and Sean followed him in.
"I am not singing" Jay said squeezing his girlfriend's waist.
Manny turned and giggled.
"Babe" she pouted he shook his head and refused. She sighed. "Well just cheer me on okay" she said sweetly.
Manny went up and signed up. They are laughing and talking and having a good time when her name was called out.
"Manny Santos" a man called out. She kissed Jay's cheek and ran up.
"Okay this is Miss Santos she will be singing tattoo by Jordan Sparks"
She got on stage and rocked it. Everyone stood up and cheered. She jumped down and ran up to Jay he picked her up and twirled her. She giggled and then he set her down.
"You did amazing" he said sweetly. She blushed.
"You really did" she heard a voice. She turned to see a tall thin man in a suit behind her.
"I picked a great night to come to a karaoke bar" the man said. Jay looked him up and down.
"And you are?" Jay asked.
"My name is Tony Magnalico and I own Passion records" he extended his hand. Manny grabbed it and shook it happily.
"OMG you have some of the hottest artists" she said squealing.
"Yes I do, and here is my number, I want to sign you" he handed her a card. He walked away.
Manny was packing her things into her small red car.
"L.A. is a long drive" her father said looking at her.
"Dad Tony set me up in some great hotels and everything is going to work just fine" Manny said hugging her father. Her mother hugged and started crying "Mommy, don't cry please, I will call everyday" Manny said sweetly. Her mother backed away and grabbed her shoulders.
"Twice a day" her mother said wiping her tears. Emma came and hugged her tightly.
"Manny I can't believe it, all your dreams are totally coming true" Emma said kissing her friends cheek. Manny started crying.
"You sure you can't come with?" Manny asked.
Emma nodded "Manny you can do this, sure 18 is a little young, but I mean, I have faith" Emma hugged her again. Sean stepped in and hugged her also.
"You take care, if you need anyone beat up, you know who to call" Sean said smiling. Manny hugged him again. Then Jay walked up. She looked him in the eyes, everyone walked away.
"So this is it huh" Jay said sadly.
"I told you to come" she said softly.
"And do what Manny, my life is here, I just wish you were in it" he said unhappily. She sighed.
"I am still in your life Jay, its just that, I am gonna be farther away" she said not looking at him.
"Why do you try to skip around it, we are never gonna make it" he said looking at her, he put his hand on her chin.
"Know that I love you, and wish you the best, you made me a better person and for that I will always have a spot for you" he kissed her and walked away. She sighed and wiped a tear.
"It's like that?" she said softly. He stopped but didn't turn. "IT'S LIKE THAT!" Manny said angrily. He turned and looked at her.
"What else can it be like, you tell me?" he said getting mad too.
"I thought you would be happy, for me, you say you love me, this is my dream, why can't you support me!" she was pissed. He rolled his eyes
"You want me to be happy you're going like a million miles away, sorry let me do my happy dance!" He said sarcastically.
"Screw you Jay! You know what, I am better with out you anyway!" she got into her car and slammed the door. She lied to him just then, she knew she loved him, but she had to end it pissed or she wouldn't be able to end it at all.
