Disclaimer: I don't own Jean or any of the other chars from the show.

She was out of my league. The prettiest, most popular girl in school. How could she ever fall for a nobody like me? I hated myself for loving her, but I never had the courage to approach her. I had no reason, she was never alone. He was with her, and when he was gone, someone easily took his place. I can still see her now, running down the field her long hair flying behind her. Her after practice, hot and sweaty, her uniform clinging to her. I tried to pretend I was like her, that everything was perfect, was normal, but I fell into my own delusions. I could never admit my feelings for her, and now it's too late. She's getting married today. To my ex-boyfriend, I never liked him, dated him to make her jealous. I think now that he was using me for the same reason. I freaked when I found out she was gifted, was special, but somehow I'd always known. I would have forgiven her, if she'd only asked. I wasn't mad, surprised she hadn't trusted me, yeah, but never mad. I could never be mad at her, she had stolen my heart so easily I couldn't even hold a grudge against my beautiful Jean. Of course now she'll never be mine. She'll be Scott's, somehow she was always Scott's. I hate him right now, but here I am, sitting quietly in a dress I'll never wear again listening with tears in my eyes as they exchange vows. It should be me up there! Yes, I'm being selfish again. Jean's happy. That's all that should matter, shouldn't it? I didn't object, almost had to cover my mouth with my hand to keep quiet. Jean looked at me during that part, almost as if she expected me to say something, to stop the wedding. Why? How could she know the thoughts racign through my mind. Oh, wait, I forgot, my beautiful Jean can read minds, I've got to stop calling her mine, don't I? Wait, what's happening? Is Jean really saying 'no'? Yes, she is, she's walking away from Scott, I shake my head in disbelief. So much for perfect for each other. Where's she going, she's coming my direction.

"Taryn, I'm sorry, please forgive me?" I can't speak for a moment, Jean's talked to me again.

"Of course," I stutter looking into Jean's green eyes. I love you so much! I think. Jean pauses again. Scott's still standing there looking shocked.

"Taryn, we both know this is a travesty of love, this wedding. Taryn, it's taken me forever and almost too long to realize my feelings. Taryn, would you go out with me?" Jean's voice is stronger like she's suddenly realized she does care. I nod and let Jean lead me from the church. I have a feeling that things are going to be okay now.
