DEGRASSI

CHAPTER 007: "We Are Broken (1)"

PLOT A: Jenna Middleton

Jenna is on her cell phone, talking to Kathy, "So where's Ty?" Jenna asked as she heard what sounded like glass bottles clanking together in the background. "Um, he's around, Ben's watching him." Kathy says from the other end. "Look Jenna I should really go, I've got to wash these dishes." Kathy said, which eased Jenna's worries about the sound of glass clanking being heard in the background. She sighed and turned around as she opened her locker. "Jenna!" Alli shouted as Clare came up behind her, "Oh, hey." Jenna said as she smiled. "Well did we ruin your day?" Clare asked as Jenna looked at them, "Sorry, it's just, that's the third time this week Kathy has turned me down." Jenna said.

Clare looked confused, "Kathy?", "Tyson's adoptive mother." Alli added as she looked back at Jenna, "She still won't let you see Tyson?" Alli asked. Jenna nodded as Clare spoke, "Why not?" Clare asked. "That's what I'm trying to figure out." Jenna started as she closed her locker and all three of the girls started to walk down the hall together, "I mean yesterday, she and Ben wanted to spend the day with Tyson at a water park, then the day before that they were visiting some relatives, now she's telling me that they're going to go on a trip." Jenna stated as the girls reached their class.

"Well maybe you should surprise her." Clare said, "You know that's not a bad idea." Jenna said as she smiled at Clare and Alli as all three of the girls entered the classroom.

PLOT B: Owen Milligan

Owen is sitting down with a group of guys, he then notices Tristan, who is flirting with Jackson. A guy looks at Owen and realizes that he is staring at Tristan Jackson. "You know Owen, it must suck." the guy begins, "You being this big homophobic jock and yet your brother is like this gay...", the guy begins. "Dallas, quit it!" Drew states, elbowing the boy in the rib cage. Owen starts to become furious, "Owen, let it go." Drew states as Owen stands up and makes his way over to Tristan and his new group of friends.

"Tris. Can I talk to you for a sec?" Owen asks as Tristan rolls his eyes, "What's up?" Tristan asks. "Alone." Owen states as he and Tristan get up and start to walk towards the hallway. Owen and Tristan make it out into the hall way and Owen puts Tristan to the wall, "What are you doing?" Owen asked. "Um, wondering how on earth my arm is still attached to my body." Tristan says as Owen lets him go. "No I mean with Jackson, isn't he with Tori?" Owen asks. "Not anymore, she broke up with him, but he decided to stay with me." Tristan tells Owen.

"Don't you think that's a little shady?" Owen asked. "Ah, I see you're trying to get me to break up with Jackson, by feeling bad for Tori," Tristan states as Owen smiles. "But, it's not going to work." Tristan states as Owen's smile fades away. "Because, what you're really trying to do is get me to break up with him, because you're tired of being the football team's laughing stock." Tristan states, he's on to Owen now. "It's a good thing you know how to fight." Tristan states as he pats Owen's back and walks off.

PLOT C: Bianca DeSousa

Bianca is sitting down at a table outside. Adam notices her and comes over, "Well someone sure is loving this weather." Adam states as he sits down. "Someone has to, right?" Bianca asks as they both share a laugh. Bianca then spots her aunt coming over to her, "Bianca?" her aunt begins as Bianca stands up, "What are you doing here?" Bianca asks. "I just want to say that I'm sorry, please, come back home." her aunt tells her. "I can't." Bianca states. "Why not, I said me and Charles will stop arguing, he's moved out.", her aunt tells her. "Yeah, well I'm not buying it." Bianca tells her as she grabs Adam's hand and leads him into the school with her.

"What just happened?" Adam asks, but Bianca continues to lead him throughout the school, "Hey will you slow down." Adam states, pulling her to him. Bianca didn't realize that he had that much strength. "What?" Bianca asks. "You heard me, that was your aunt." Adam states. "Yeah, so?" Bianca asks. "So?" Adam begins, "She just apologized, she said she got read of that jerk that used to argue with you and her all the time." Adam whispers as Bianca looks at him. "I heard her, I just don't want to go back there." Bianca tells Adam. "Why?" Adam asks. He knew there had to be something more to why Bianca didn't want to go home.

"Did he hurt you?" Adam asked, "No, it's just...I don't know how to accept her apology." Bianca whispers as Adam looks at her. "Go there, okay?" Adam tells her. Bianca gives a weak smile before kissing Adam's cheek, she then starts to walk down the hall.

PLOT A: Jenna Middleton

Jenna knocks on the door, she hears footsteps and immediately Kathy appears as the door is opened, "Jenna?" Kathy asks as Jenna makes her way into the house, "Hey, Kathy, where's Ty?" Jenna asks as she looks around. "He's asleep in his crib, I was just about to take a shower." Kathy whispers as she looks at Jenna. "Oh, you mind if I see him?" Jenna asks. "Um," Kathy whispers as she looks up the stairs, "Go ahead." Kathy states. "Just don't try to move him, he's getting rested for the trip this afternoon." Kathy states as she heads into the back of the house. Jenna looks up at the steps and goes up them.

She looks around rooms until she finally finds Tyson's. She goes into the room and smiles at the sleepy baby. "I've missed you so much." Jenna whispers as she kisses his cheek. She then notices a cruise paper, "3 months?", Jenna whispers to herself as she looks at Tyson. "I don't think so" Jenna states as she puts Tyson in his car seat and takes him out of the room.

PLOT B: Owen Milligan

Owen makes his way into the kitchen, he spots Tristan and Jackson giggling to one another, "What the hell is this?" Tristan asks. All of a sudden Owen gets a slap upside the head, "Watch your mouth.", Owen's mother states as Owen looks at her. "Mom what's he doing here?" Owen asks. "Who, Jackson?" his mother asks. "Yeah." Owen states as Jackson looks at Tristan, who has become intrigued with what Owen has to say. "Because Tristan invited him for dinner." his mother tells him. "You know, it's bad enough that I have to deal with this stuff at school, but now at home too!" Owen shouts as his mother looks at him.

Owen turns his attention to Tristan, "You know you're the reason dad left!" Owen shouts as he makes his way up the stairs, "Owen Reginald Milligan!", his mother shouts, but she decides to let him go. She turns around and gives both Jackson and Tristan a sympathetic look.

PLOT C: Bianca DeSousa

Bianca knocks on her aunt's apartment door, she then hears footsteps coming to the door. "Bianca!", her aunt shouts as she pulls her into a hug. "Look, I just want you to know that I thought a lot about what you said," Bianca whispers. "I'm ready to be a family again." Bianca finishes as her aunt hugs her even tighter. "Good.", a man's voice states as Bianca's smile turns into a look of fear, "So am I.", the man finishes. Bianca then looks at him, whispering, "Charles.", she knew her aunt had just lied to her.

PLOT A: Jenna Middleton

Jenna is standing in front of Mr. Simpson's house, she knocks on the door and Mr. Simpson opens it, "Jenna, not you too?" Archie asks as he looks at Jenna, who is holding Tyson in his car seat. "And you've brought the baby." Archie states. "Mr. Simpson it's not what you think, I need to see K.C." Jenna tells him as Archie steps out of the way for her to come in. "K.C.!" Archie calls as K.C. starts down the steps and makes his way into the living room. "Jenna?" K.C. asks as he notices her and then Tyson. "What's Tyson doing here?" K.C. asked. "Oh, nothing I did something very bad." Jenna said, as she placed Tyson down on the floor. "What?" K.C. asked as he sat down and started to play with Tyson. "Well, you see...Kathy wasn't letting me see him." Jenna stated.

K.C. looked up at her, "But I thought it was an open adoption?" K.C. asked as he focused his attention back to Tyson. "Yeah, so I tried to contact Ben on his cell, but I didn't get an answer from him." Jenna said, she was going to finish telling the story, but K.C. interrupted her. "Wait, Jenna if she didn't let you see Tyson, then how exactly did you get him?" K.C. asked. "I was just getting to that." Jenna whispered as she looked at him. "I realized that Tyson was going away on a cruise..." Jenna started as K.C. interrupted her once again, "You kidnapped Tyson!" K.C. shouted, standing up. Jenna hushed him, "Look I'm sorry, technically it's not stealing, it's called taking back what was rightfully mine." Jenna said, trying to make the situation seem better than what it really was.

K.C. focused on Jenna, "They weren't letting me see him." Jenna stated. "Why?" K.C. asked, Jenna looked at him, "If I knew why then I would've have taken him." Jenna stated as she realized K.C. was staring at something. "Jenna?" K.C. asked as Jenna looked at him. "What's up?", she asked as K.C. bent down. "Did Tyson have this bruise on him before or after you got him?" K.C. asked her. "What bruise?" Jenna asked as she went over to the car seat. Jenna saw the same bruise K.C. did, "Oh God." Jenna said softly. K.C. looked at her, "Now we know why they didn't want you to see him." K.C. said as he started to become angry.
