Hey everyone. Here's chapter 2

"So, Jay, how's life" Rina said to Jay walking down the hallway

Jay paused "Not good"

"Why" Rina said flirtasiously

Jay paused again "Wanna come by later"

"Sure" Rina said

Jay gave her his address "You can bring Alex and Ari"

"Ok…But I think their busy" Rina said "Can I come anyway"

"Sure" Jay said

The bell rang and Rina and Jay went their separate ways. Rina just noticed something. Did she really like Jay

Jay walked down the hallway, but not to go to class. He walked out of Degrassi, went to his car, and had a cigarette. Alex came and joined him

"I have no freaking clue how we are going to be friends" she said, stealing the pack from him and taking one

"Mommy dearest will find out and blow her fuse" Jay said

"I honestly don't care…At all. Now, why should I stay your friend"

"I've been your best friend since your father beat you and mine did too. The least you can do is stay my friend. Now, what are you doing after school that you can't come"

"I have to go get tested again…My mother doesen't trust me"

Jay thought "Well, you're sister's coming"

"Get her drunk" Alex said, putting out her cigarette, and leaving

Jay thought. Did he like Rina the way he felt he did…How could he…He's knew her forever

"Paige, why are you like this to me and Manny, the girl is like my sister now, we do the school activities, not anything else" Marco said to Paige during lunch. Marco was eating his mother's home made food, while Paige choose the Caf's special

"I think I'd better take her place. She has a bad rep, and I won't have her doing this-" Paige said, until Manny came over and sat next to Marco with a big smile

"Have you spoken to Dylan, he was such a help with the dance" Manny started

"Fine, I won't say no more" Paige said. She picked up her lunch and sat with Hazel

"…So, Jimmy should be out by next week. Isen't that great. I am so psyched. Hey, what's up with you"

"The slut has taken one of my best friends. What if I changed something in his relationship with my brother" Paige said with a smirk

Hazel was silent and finally said "You're going to break up a happy couple"

"Duh. Now I need help" she said

"You won't do anything. I'm helping Marco and Manny here. Love should be equal" Hazel said, before going to the washroom

"I have an STD, why me" Emma said to her mother later that day

"Because…You should go and find Jay. Go and talk to him. But I don't like the sound of him. Just tell him no and come home"

"Alright" Emma said

Jay came home, exausted. He sat on the couch and fell asleep, forgetting all about Rina. He closed his eyes until

BUZZ

"Damn" He said quietly. He walked to the door and let her in

"Hey" Rina said. She tried not to look Jay in the eyes. She would melt

"Hey. Come in" Jay said

Rina came in and sat on the couch

"Would you like a coke" Jay asked

"Umm…" She wasen't sure if Jay was being sarcastic "Sure, I guess"

Jay came back with a coke and a beer and sat next to Rina

"How's your father" Jay asked

"He hasen't changed" Rina said. She started pulling up her sleeve and showing Jay a huge black and blue that was swollen "This was the last of it"

Jay looked and felt it. He never felt that way before. Not even with Alex. He held her hand

If Alex comes in… Jay thought. He put his head on her shoulder and felt himself falling asleep. Then, he felt something. Rina was stroking his hair. Jay actually felt like someone loved him. He fell asleep

Rina thought, why not, and fell asleep after a few minutes

Emma arrived at the ravine a bit early. She was just going to have a chat with Jay

Instead, she got another guy

"Jay's staying home tonight" and gave her his address

Emma walked the few blocks to his apartment and rang up

When she got there, Jay answered sleeply

"Greenpeace, how can I help you" he said

"Umm…I'm not going to see you anymore" Emma said

Jay thought about this for a second, then looked back on the couch where Rina was

"I don't care" he said, and he shut the door in Emma's face
