Disclaimer: Damnit, I own nothing. Nothing. Nothing at all.... tears...

She seemed shocked when I finished. As she rose to walk away I set my guitar down and grabbed her arm. No, it wasn't a harmful grab, okay? I wouldn't ever hurt her.

"Jay... I know you like me, and I know that song was to let me know that though you and I are from different backrounds, you would treat me right. But what if I'm not ready?"

"We've hooked up before! We went to the clinic together about the ghonerria thing! Why won't you open up to me?"

She looked strait into my eyes, with a passion that scared me. "You want to know why?" she asked, her voice cold as ice. I nodded. "Because, I-"

She broke of and looked down. I could see a tear slide down her cheek and I gently lifted her head and wiped it off. She tried to pull away but I held her still.

"Jay…" she said pathetically.

"Emma…" I mimicked. "Why?"

"I know I was one of the girls you hooked up with, and there were others, but you were with Alex. You cheated on her, how can I be sure you won't cheat on me? I'm sick of how I get treated in relationships, so I don't want to bother with it anymore."

That was it? She had a point about the cheating thing, but I wasn't going to let her win with that.

"Emma Nelson, I promise you I would never cheat on you. You aren't Alex… Alex wasn't the type of girl who could hold my attention outside of sex, you are. I need you in my life. I would never do anything to hurt you."

Em looked at me with pleading eyes, I could tell she was begging me to leave. I wouldn't though, not if I was offered a million dollars. This girl is worth more than that. I leaned down and kissed her, and, to my surprise, she kissed back. My hand traced down her side until it found its destination, her hand. She let me hold it and I knew we were a "we" now. She pulled back to catch her breath as the bell rang, and waited for me to put my stuff away to go inside. And we walked into Degrassi with a new confidence.

As I held the door open for my new girlfriend, I could see Alex looking on in horror. I almost laughed at her face. My arm slid around Emma and she led me to her class, which happened to be right next to mine. I kissed her and could see Simpson's eyes catching fire.

"Daddy's upset…" I whispered into her lips.

"So?" She kissed me again and walked into the classroom.

Oh yah, this is good.

I walked into my class and sat in my seat behind Alex. The fury in her eyes was still there and she went to tell me something when Kwan started in.

"Now class, today we will be beginning a new play. I know some of you find Shakespeare to be boring…"

This was going to take a while.

Bell rang and I walked to Emma's class. Her friend Manny told me she was talking to Raditch and she said she'd meet me at lunch, so I started to walk away. Until Simpson called me back.

"Jayson." I walked over to him and gave him a "go on" look.

"I don't know what's going on between you and my daughter to get you two going out, but I can assure you that you do not want to mess with her."

Great, not even a full hour and her dad was already breathing down my neck.

"Look, Mr. S., I don't want to hurt Emma at all. She's my girl, she means a lot to me. I know you've seen me with my crew and with Alex, but I'm not like that with your daughter."

He nodded. "Well, even if I don't like you, she does. I expect you over for dinner tonight, 6 sharp, okay?"

I mumbled a yes and he said I could go. Hurray. I get to meet the whole family the first day.

I got to the cafeteria and had just barely located Emma when I saw Alex stand up on her chair. Oh no, this can't be good.

"Students of Degrassi, this is your Vice President speaking, Alex (Last name???). I have a lovely piece of information some of you might wish to know as to protect yourselves. Jayson Hogart has been infected with the sexually transmitted disease Ghonerria. Also, Amy (last name??), Emma Nelson and certain other females at Degrassi have been infected as well. Watch yourselves."

Alex sat down and I saw Emma stand up.

"Alex forgot one person in there, HERSELF. She got the virus while screwing Towerz, infected Jay who infected the other girls including myself. So beware of Alex. She's a slut."

Alex shouted out a "why you little—" and jumped on Emma. The whole fight started faster than I could imagine, but it got started sure enough. Before I could get over there, Emma was straddling Alex and throwing wild punches. Alex was pulling her hair with one hand and scratching her chest with the other. I couldn't believe it. I pulled Emma off and put her behind me.

"That's enough you two. You can't go fighting people during the school day because of something like this. You'll both get suspended."

"Good observation, Jayson. I assume that you've been in that position enough times to realize it though. Girls, follow me." I didn't even have to look up to know it was Raditch. Oh shit, I thought, my poor baby's getting tainted. And her daddy dearest is going to flip out on me.

You'll get a new chapter soon. I hope. Um, I know some of you probably weren't expecting Emma to say what she said, but oh well. Um, quick question: Do you guys want me to do this in Emma's pov too? Review and let me know. Thanks to all my reviewers. I really love you guys!!!
