What He Always Wanted
Written by Ashleigh.
I have gotten some really good ideas on how to get rid of Taryn from all of you! Thank you very much. They were all really helpful and hopefully we can kick her out of the story! Everybody okay with that? Too bad cause I've already got my kickin boots on!
And here is my thanks to all those who motivate me to write many more chapters:
Strayphoenix: Thanks for the review. I can't wait to bring them both together too! I have all these ideas and no way of getting there! Anywaiz…hope you like this chapter! Thanks for R&R.
Sweetmidnight: I seriously doubt I can do better than have Taryn eaten by a bug! You should register and create stories…on one condition: they better be Jott! You should, it's a lot of fun and I scream like a little girl whenever I get a review in my inbox! I'll most probably use your idea for this chapter added in with a few other things! So thanks a lot! News Report: This has been updated in less than a month! Woohoo! Hope you like this chapter! Thanks for R&R!

Ingrid: I agree but I think Superman is a bit more bulky than Scott! Hehe! Running her over with a car and the 'what's left of her brain,' both are very…interesting ideas! But both seem highly unlikely! Thanks for R&R. Hope you like this chapter!

Helen: That kind reviewer would be you! Thank you so much for the idea, yours and a few others have inspired at least one chapter worth of interesting stuff! Woohoo! The lima bean idea was very close to being chosen but for some reason I had to put it aside! I just don't know why…makes puking motion. Hope you like this chapter! Thanks for R&R!
Cheese Head Lover: Thanks for the compliment! Yes you should put another story! If not I shall bug you at school till I have surpassed the limit of my vocal cords!

Chapter 5: Choices
Scott sat silently at his desk. Two photo frames stood before him. He rubbed his fingers gently across the glass wishing the girl were right beside him. Her red hair was flowing softly behind her as autumn leaves danced around the swing she sat upon. She was smiling at the camera, smiling at the photographer.
This photo had been taken so long ago. Scott couldn't remember the last time he saw Jean smile. It was a bit depressing though; he loved her smile. It lightened up his day.
He looked to the other photograph. A dull brunette had captured the camera's focus. She stood still, never seeming to experience emotion, never felt a love as pure as the one he felt for Jean.
He couldn't stand having Jean at his fingertips, just out of reach; a rope was pulling him backwards, further and further away. At the other end of the rope stood a maniacal Taryn.
"Scott?" he was jerked away from his hallucination,
I definitely need coffee. He stood up and answered the door. As soon as he did, a flustered red head burst into his room.
"Scott," she turned to look at him something different in her eyes. It soon changed to a look of horror,
"Are you still in your boxers? (A/N: hmmm yum!) Come on we need to get to school. And since I no longer receive a ride…" a sad look crossed her face.
Scott, suddenly thinking about the party and…Duncan, quickly searched through his draws and picked out a red shirt and a pair of black pants.
"Okay I'm coming, I'm coming!" he ran into the bathroom that was joined to his room. Jean smiled and laughed.
"Men!"
XxxxXXXXxxxXI haven't seen him all day.
Well actually I saw him this morning, but I felt like he was avoiding me. 'Why?' I ask myself. I come up with no plausible reason.
I walked partly to school today and surprisingly met Duncan a couple of blocks from the gates. It seems he got his licence taken off him for drunk driving. Typical!
I'm amazed that he hasn't got a new girlfriend yet; it could damage his reputation being alone for such a long period of time. Not like he's any different with or without one. I betcha the most he does for any of them is a simple kiss on the cheek and a wave goodbye. How could anyone live like that? With a boyfriend who doesn't love them.
Talk about loves, here comes Scott now. He looks a little sweaty, must have just had track practise. I wave to him from across the cafeteria. He sees me and sighs. That doesn't look like a good sign.
"Hey Scott!"
"Hey Taryn," we sit down at the same table, me with a salad sandwich, him with his gym shoes. He doesn't seem so happy to see me. I kiss him on the cheek,
"What's wrong Scott?" I try to see behind his red glasses. It seems he's looking at the floor.
"Taryn, I think we need to talk…about us"
XxxxXXXXxxxXScott had tried to avoid Taryn all day but it was inevitable, he would have to tell her soon. He had made his choice.
Running around the school tracks had done him some good. The breeze washing across his face, he felt far from reality. He could think of anything; nothing was stopping him. He tried to create ways to tell Taryn how sorry he was but nothing came. He wondered of his life after today.
Would he ever have the courage to tell Jean how he felt?
He made his way off the track and towards the cafeteria, God I'm hungry.
Would he ever have the courage to possibly face rejection from her subtle features?
He saw Taryn at the other end of the cafeteria.
Would he even get through today to begin with? All questions were to be answered in a matter of seconds
"Hey Scott!"
"Hey Taryn," he dejectedly answered.
Taryn swiftly ran towards him, she sat down and patted the seat next to her. Scott slammed his shoes on the table and sat beside her.
"What's wrong Scott?" He looked down at the floor. Okay now what did I rehearse…
"Jean I love you and I always have"…no that's not it.
"I fell in love with you the first time I lay eyes on you"…no that's not right.
"Jean, I only went out with Taryn as a distraction because you were going steady with Duncan"…that's closer.
"Scott?" He was shaken from his daydream and he felt himself looking into her eyes.
"Taryn, I think we need to talk," he took in a deep breath, "About us."
Her eyes opened wide.
"WHAT?" the cafeteria suddenly silenced and beady eyes turned to gaze at Taryn.
"Ooh no Summers, I have never been dumped and I intend to never experience it. You either take that back," tears filled her eyes, "Or I walk right out of your life," she gulped in a breath of air, "Is that what you want? To live without love, a life without compassion?"
Scott looked up towards her,
"Isn't that what we already have?" he whispered.
Taryn's hand slapped him across the face, "Oh you worthless little prick. It's Jean isn't it? It's always been Jean. Jean this, Jean that. All she is, is a whore and you'll never see past what she looks like on the outside."
Scott nearly slapped her back, "Taryn, Jean is nothing like that and you know it. And don't feel sorry for yourself, in a week you'll be drooling over some other unexpecting guy. Don't bother with the ice-cream."
Taryn smirked, "Lucky for me then," she turned around and sashayed towards the jock table.
Scott sighed, Thank God that's over.
One last time Taryn turned to her ex-boyfriend, "She's too good for you, and you know it"
XxxxXXXXxxxXJean had just gotten out of a very slow, whole class, Science detention.
I don't know why she keeps the whole class in, especially during lunch; does she think her students can hate her any more?
She moved towards her locker, the corridor seemed very empty. She could just imagine hay barrels rolling from one classroom to another.
She flicked the lock and pulled on the handle, it wouldn't budge.
Why does this always happen to me?She heard Taryn screaming in the cafeteria, probably pole-dancing around a bin. Can that girl get any thicker?
She laughed to herself but then remembered who the dumb girl's boyfriend was.
Argh! Why does he put up with her?She looked to each side of the corridor, and unjammed her locker door with a silent mental budge.
That's better, now I hope there's some food left for lunch.
She opened the doors.
Wow I must be really late there's no one here.
A sound came from behind the counter, in the kitchen.
"Is there anyone there?" Jean called; the cafeteria suddenly went dead silent until she heard a muffled, "Duncan," and a slight giggle.
"Who's there?" Jean slowly moved around the counter and saw Taryn and Duncan standing there alone, still, her hair was ruffled and his buttons were mismatched.
"Oh it's only Jean," he sneered.
"Don't tell on us," she smirked, "Me and Duncan were only having a little fun," she ran her hand through his golden hair.
Jean gasped, "You little b…you don't care for Scott at all." She felt her rage build up inside of her.
Taryn's smirk soon turned into fury, "That little good for nothing…" She looked back at Jean, "Don't they say two heads are better than one? So why not Duncan and…Scott." she smiled. She moved closer to Jean, circling her.
"Do you feel left out Jeannie? Cause now I have both of your guys and you are left with…oh to put it simply, none." She smirked again and turned back to Duncan.
A silent tear fell down Jean's cheek. She turned around and slammed the cafeteria doors on her way out.
Oh my God! I hate her so much! Why can't Scott just break up with her?
She wiped the tear from her cheek and opened up her locker again. A picture of her and Taryn was stuck to the surface of the door, from the old days when they used to be friends. She pulled out her scissors and cut Taryn right out of the picture.
I have to tell Scott about this.
Jean shut up! You can't tell him this; it'll break his heart.
But…but…
How are you gonna tell him his girlfriend is cheating on him with his enemy…and tell him gently?
Ooh crap you're right.
She slammed her locker closed and made her way outside, holding a tissue to her eye.
XxxxXXXXxxxXTadah! Chapter…5 is finished. Okay if my writing sucks and no one out there got what was happening it works like this. Okay Scott broke up with Taryn, Taryn gets together with Duncan, Taryn tells Jean she's still with Scott cause she doesn't want Scott to get what he wants! Jean thinks Taryn is cheating on Scott and doesn't know whether to tell him or not. Tadah! "Houston we have a chapter!"
Did Taryn seem extra mean in this chap? I mean like really out of character mean? I hate Taryn so much I had a need to get rid of her! Please tell me!
I swear Jean and Scott will get together eventually and maybe break up and get together again but that's for me to know and you to find out! I have the whole story in my head I just don't know how to fill the gaps…it'll come. I even have a line, that is going to come into like the 10th chapter, prepared.
If you want to see these chapters and my special line, and even the make-ups and break-ups…and make-ups then you shall have to review and fill in all my gaps of the story! Or just review and read on!
Thanks for reading and we'll see you next month on…Who wants to be with Scott Summers? I mean What He Always Wanted!
