High Fidelity Part 1.5
My Degrassi One-Shot
SPOILERS AHEAD: This is basically my version of how the first part of the season finally should've ended, hence the 1.5. If Paige makes out with Spinner when she was "a lesbian" and Alex and Jay can hook up even though she is a lesbian also. That line totally ruined my hopes and dreams: "I'm not bi…I'm a lesbian." I don't give a fuck, Jay is gorgeous and I'm making you use him for his body just like Paige did. The italics are lines from the episode. I own nothing. Okay so here we go.
"You looking for a shoulder to cry on. Or maybe just a quick rebound?"
"Jay, I'm not bi. I'm not confused. I'm a lesbian, an actual lesbian. Who just broke up with her first girlfriend and it sucks."
"I'm sorry. That's one of the first times I said I'm sorry and actually meant it."
"That's one of the first times you said sorry and I actually believed you."
"Um, do you wanna watch some TV, with me? No funny business, just friends, hanging out."
"Fine."
They sat down and Jay kept turned away from the TV to look at Alex.
"What?" She finally asked, exasperated. Jay smiled and turned back around.
"Nothing." He muttered. "It's just, your hair looks good like that." Alex rolled her eyes and put both feet on the floor, pulling at the loose threading of her pull-over. "Are you okay?" He asked her.
"Not really. Know how when you're angry and sad that you do something stupid?"
"Um, sure."
"I kind of went out and got a tattoo." She said with a laugh. "I hate that I'm like this right now. So emotional and insane."
"You're not insane. I felt the same way when we broke up."
"Which time?" Jay laughed.
"Okay, point taken. Can I see it?" Alex stood, turned her back to him and lifted her shirt a little. There just above her hips was the same design she drew in her notebook a million times. She sat back down to see Jay staring at her again.
"What?" He turned back around again.
"Nothing." He said. Alex brought one knee up her chest and picked at the worn edge of her jeans. "So what happened with Paige?"
"I don't want to talk about it."
"Okay. I do have one non-Paige related question for you though."
"Shoot."
"When we were together, and I don't just mean dating, I mean when we were like together, did you think about girls?" Alex smiled and waited before answering. The game was over and a commercial about beer was on.
"No. I was into you. The whole liking girls thing was post us."
"Oh…well good. I wouldn't wanna be like 'the guy that turned you gay' or something."
"No." Alex said smiling again. She had missed talking to Jay, actually talking. Towards the end that didn't happen. They were either hooking up or fighting. "Were you serious about just being a quick rebound?"
"No, of course not. Well only half serious." Alex laughed. "Why? Are you changing your mind?"
"No of course not." Alex grabbed the remote from his lap and hit the off button. "Well, maybe. I'm still thinking about it.""But you're not into guys."
"Well maybe you could change my mind." She said teasing him. "And I was into you, remember?" She smiled and laughed. Jay looked away awkwardly at his hands. "You really loved me, huh?"
"Do you really have to ask?" He said softly.
"You had a pretty shitty way of showing it."
"I know. If I could do it all over again I never would've been such an asshole."
"I know you mean that." She sighed. "I think we rushed into it though. I feel like it was a million years ago, that we didn't know any better. Then it got to that point where we either yelled or had sex."
"It wasn't like that."
"Trust me, it was. But you're the only guy I've been with." He raised his eyebrows. "You didn't know that?" He shook his head no.
"But since we broke up, you haven't…at all?"
"Nope. Makes you feel guilty doesn't it?"
"A little."
"I'm glad." Alex said with a smile.
"Hey well I haven't had a girlfriend and you have so you should feel pretty guilty." Jay added.
"Not at all" He grinned, realizing how much he had really missed her.
"Don't you wish we could just go back? I mean before all that shit happened. When it was just us and no real drama."
"We had a pretty good amount of drama."
"Is that why you cut all your hair off?"
"That was before Degrassi. I was mad, so I went out and did something stupid."
"That wasn't before us, though. Here's me hoping I wasn't what made you mad."
"No it was my mom that time…but I don't want to talk about that." Alex got up and stood in front of him.
"Oh no?"
"No." She said while unzipping her hoodie to reveal a skin tight tank top. "In fact," She let it drop to the floor. She straddled Jay's lap and smiled. "I don't really want to talk at all."
"Alex," He said, barely above a whisper.
"What?"
"I, you don't know what you're doing." She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and leaned forward to kiss him and everything came rushing back. He pulled away from her.
"Please don't tempt me, Lex."
"What you don't want me?"
"You know that I do. But I love you and I don't want you to do something you're gonna regret later. I don't wanna be one of your stories, like your hair or the tattoo."
"A few months ago you would've been fine with it."
"Is it that hard for you to believe I've changed?"
"Um, yes." She said with a grin. "Jay, I love you, I always have. I've just been waiting for you to figure it out."
"And the whole being a lesbian?"
"Oh like it doesn't turn you on?" Alex smiled. "I'm keeping my options open. Is that really so wrong?" Jay's face erupted into a big goofy grin.
"Not at all. In fact I support you completely." Alex barely had time to recover before he kissed her again. Jay then picked Alex up, her legs wrapped around his waist, and carried her to her bedroom without once breaking the kiss.
I'll let you decide what happens next

...
I know I'm on hiatus but I finally finished it and I couldn't resist. I just watched High Fidelity again and it was driving me nuts. I'll be off hiatus a.s.a.p., september 6th is the latest. Besides I had to give the Alex/Jay fans something, since I'm not continuing my other story. Much much love.
