DISCLAIMER: I do not own Degrassi, if I did, Emma would still be a main character, Holly J would be with Spinner, JT would be alive, ect…

A/N: I decided to expand on my songfic There Goes My Life, so you should know the jist of this story. It's going to begin in season four, Jay is still with Alex…for now, he's hooking up with other girls besides Emma but not Amy (he would touch that girl with a 39.5 foot pole, lol). So Alex will never find out about him cheating, but they both know the relationship just isn't working anymore. Enjoy!

A/N 2.0: This is going to be mostly third person POV, but Jay's thoughts are going to be in italics.

Chapter One

The Way We Talk

It was yet another Friday night I spent at the ravine. Me and Alex used to come here together all the time, but now she's too busy with student council and the play to have any fun with me anymore. Then again, maybe she just doesn't want to have fun with me anymore. We used to be so close, joined at the hip practically, and she used to be different to, a female version of me. But now that she's friends with Marco and crew, it's like she's outgrowing me or something. But I don't really want to think about that, I just want to have fun.

Jay put down his beer and let his eyes scan the crowd, they landed on one pretty face in particular, Emma Nelson.

She had been coming to the ravine a lot lately. She never hooked up with anyone, just got drunk and danced around the bonfire with a bunch of other girls. Just one of the many changes she had gone through, like her clothing choice as well, which now resemble a cross between Ellie Nash's and Manny Santos's. Every so often though, Jay would catch her sneaking glances at him. Tonight though, she wasn't dancing, she was lying on the grass watching the stars.

Little Miss Nelson sure has changed a lot lately. Still flat as a board, but she sure dresses better, and isn't as whiny and annoying like she used to be.

Jay got up and walked over to the spot where Emma was spacing out. After a few moments, she blinked and slowly turned her head to face him.

"Hey." She said slowly, her eyes unfocused.

"Hey." He replied with a smirk. "What are you doing?"

Emma considered his question for a few seconds before replying, "Just being."

Jay let out a chuckle. What in the world is this girl on? "Well, can I 'just be' with you?"

She slowly turned her face back towards the sky before she answered "Sure."

Jay laid down next to her very slowly and watched the stars with her for a few moments in silence. Finally he turned his face towards hers and broke the silence.

"Okay, so what exactly are you on?"

She turned her face once again very slowly towards his. "What do you mean?"

"I know you're weird Nelson, but this is pushing it." He joked, suppressing a smirk.

"I'm not high, I'm just…" She paused, trying to find the right words.

"Being?" Jay suggested.

"Thinking."

Yeah, okay. Jay smirked. "Well what are you thinking about that's got you acting like your high as a fucking kite?"

"I don't know. Nothing, everything, life, death…" She sighed as she turned her attention back to the stars.

"Death?" Jay queried with a raised eyebrow. Great, she's gonna turn into a vampire chick too now.

"Yeah." She breathed, not elaborating.

"Any reason why?"

She turned back to him again, but with a tired look on her face. "Why do you think?"

"I think you're a pretty lucky girl to come out of a situation like that without a scratch." He said cautiously.

"Well I must be a very lucky girl, because I seem to escape death time and time again." She sighed and sadly turned back to the sky.

This girl sure is a trip. "Why don't we talk about something else?" Jay suggested, attempting to get her attention back.

"What if I don't want to talk?" Emma asked before turning back to him with a different kind of look on her face.

Well that was unexpected. "Then we won't talk." Jay said as he traced a finger along her arm.

Emma leaned in and pressed her lips to his. Jay returned the pressure and after a few moments deepened the kiss. They shifted so she was half under him, and continued to make out for the rest of the night. Later, as Jay was driving home, he could still feel her lips on his, and he shook his head. That girl sure is something else.

The next weekend Jay was at the ravine again, and this time Emma wasn't dancing, or lying on the grass, she was sitting on Jay's usual picnic table, two beers in hand.

A woman waiting for me with a beer? I think I could get used to this.

"Hey." Emma said as she watched Jay approach her.

"Is that for me?" He gestured toward the unopened beer in her hand. She nodded and handed it to him. "So how come your not dancing?" Or tripping shit on the ground?

"I was waiting for you." She said, a smirk playing on her lips.

"And what you expect me to dance?" Yeah, not happening.

"Well I was hoping you would." She said coyly, while looking at him from under her long lashes.

"No." he said firmly as he took a swig from the brown bottle.

"Hmm." Was all she said.

"What?"

"Well it's probably better this way. I mean, you wouldn't want to embarrass yourself or anything…" she trailed off looking away from him.

"I can dance." He said in defense.

"If you say so." She said coolly. Who does this girl think she is?

"Fine, I'll show you." He said standing up.

"Alright." She responded, a smirk forming once again on her lips. Oh she's good.

They danced well into the night by the fire, Emma's body getting teasingly close to Jay's before she finally pressed up against his and moved her hips to the beat of the music. After a few songs with Emma taunting Jay with her hips, Jay couldn't take it anymore. He turned her around and kissed her deeply until both of them were left breathless. When they broke for air, Emma took his hand and lead him to the van. But as they got close, she turned around and kissed his cheek.

"I'll see you later." She whispered and began to walk away.

"Tease." Jay groaned.

Emma turned back to smile seductively at him, but never stopped walking. He watched until she was no longer in sight, then smiled to himself. This girl is gonna be the death of me.

A/N 3.0: The name of this chapter is a song. I think The Way We Talk – The Maine kinda fits this chapter, and you can find it on my profile. I'm going to choose a song for each chapter and then put a link to a playlist on my profile.
