Jake Puckerman didn't think jealousy was in his vocabulary, until he meant Ryder Lynn. He was on the football team, all the girls were all over him, but he was spending more time with Marley every time. However, he knew that him and Marley shared a special connection. No one could come between that, ever. Jake strutted into Glee club, he noticed that Marley wasn't there. That wasn't like her? He kept walking and heard his name a couple of times. "What was going?" he thought to himself. Everyone started getting quiet as he sat down. "Ok enough of this, what's is going on?" Jake asked. "Well did you hear?" Tina questioned. "Of course he didn't hear! He would be miserable," Sugar commented. "Can someone just tell me?" Jake pleaded. Sam walked over and put his hand on Jake's shoulder, "Marley and Ryder are dating." Jake's heart dropped. "How could this happen?" he thought to himself. He thought him and Marley shared something special. A tear started to form and he brushed off. When he saw Ryder and Marley walked in together, holding hands, Jake rose from his chair. When he walked passed the piano, he threw all the sheet music on the floor, and stormed out of the room. "What was that all about?" Mr. Shue asked. Marley got up from her chair, "I'm going to go talk to him." "Wait, Marley, why don't you just stay here?" Ryder asked. "No, I need to." Marley jogged off. Marley knew exactly where he would be. On the bleachers, where they sang their first song together. After walking across campus, she finally got there. She saw him on the top of bleachers with his head down. Carefully she made her way to the top and sat next to him. "Hey," Marley whispered. "Oh, well isn't you," Jake replied. "Why are you so upset?'' Marley asked. "Maybe it's the fact that you are dating Ryder," Jake said. "Why do you care?" Marley questioned. "Because I felt something between you that I've never felt before and now you are with someone and it hurts," Jake replied. "You don't think I felt that when you date Kitty?" Marley stammered. "But I broke up with her. And then you got yourself a boyfriend," Jake stated. "But Ryder put me first. I was his first choice, not second," Marley shouted. "Well I'm sorry, if our love story isn't a fairytale," Jake yelled. "I don't care if it's a fairytale, I just want to be with someone who I love," Marley exclaimed as she looked into his eyes. "And is Ryder that person?" Jake asked. "You know what? I don't think so," Marley replied. "Then who?" Jake asked. "You really have to ask?" Marley blushed. Jake took the hint and kissed the girl of his dreams. It was the best kiss of his life, it felt different, then he realized he was sharing it with someone he loved.
