Authors notes: Thanks once again for the reviews! They mean so much:) On a side note, I was watching a made for TV movie this afternoon called "Too young to be a father." Anyways, the kids sister looked like a familiar actress but I couldn't place her. So I looked the movie up on the wonderful imdb and sure enough she was off of Degrassi. She played Trina (the girl who gave Jimmy encouragement to walk in the Episode "We got the beat"). Anyways, enjoy the chapter and thanks once again for taking the time to read my stuff.

"I almost thought you weren't going to show." Emma said as Jay approached her slowly. She had been waiting for almost half an hour at the ravine for him to show up. She had debated all weekend whether or not it was a good idea for her to come. She knew it wasn't the best idea but there was a small part of her that couldn't resist. The small part had won.

"So you missed school today." Emma said making conversation.

"Yes, mom, I did." Jay replied sitting down beside her at the picnic table. "Let's just say I had a busy weekend living it up Wasaga Style."

"With Sean?" Emma asked curiously. "You guys were drinking?"

"I drank like a fish and Sean got to be my sober driver. He wouldn't even have a drop of alcohol and believe me I tried quite a few times. He babbled something about wanting to be responsible and that alcohol wasn't going to solve his problems. To be honest, I was trashed and don't remember half of the stuff he told me. Anyways, I'm still hung over hence the reason I missed school today." Jay answered. He scooted over so he was sitting as close as he could to her and put his arm around her smiling.

"We don't have to do this today if you don't want to." Emma offered giving Jay the chance to get out of whatever may happen between them. She still wasn't 100 percent if she wanted to go through with it. "I mean if you aren't feeling well we could always do this another time."

"Believe me, this will make me feel better." Jay smirked.

"I thought making someone feel better was your job." Emma hinted.

"It is." Jay said grinning. "Dr. Hogart at your service. Now follow me." He got up off the picnic table and grabbed her hand leading her across the ravine.

"Where are we going?" Emma asked.

"We need a little bit more privacy." Jay replied as they approached the van. He opened the door, pulled her in and then shut the door behind them. He pulled her close and kissed her hard. She put her arms around him and deepened the kiss. He moved his hands off of her and started unbuckling his belt while still kissing her.

Emma heard his belt come undone and she froze. "What are you doing?" she asked.

"The van….it's for hooking up. You do know what blow jobs are, don't ya?" he asked cockily.

"Yeah…but…" she stammered. She had thought Jay just wanted to make out. She didn't know he wanted more.

He saw the fear in her eyes and the last thing he wanted to do was scare her away. "Don't worry Greenpeace. It'll help you forget. I promise. And don't be embarrassed if you haven't done it before, I'll show you how it's done." He gave her the most sincere look he could possibly muster.

She looked in his eyes searching for trust. She saw him looking sincerely at her. Maybe he was really trying to help she thought. Maybe he really cared. "Ok." she whispered as she finished unbuckling his belt for him and helped him remove his pants.

A short while later Emma lay in Jay's arms as he played with her hair. Jay was just in his boxers while Emma was still fully clothed. "Are you alright?" Jay asked concerned. Emma hadn't really spoken since she had agreed to hook up with him.

"I'm okay." she replied as she rubbed her fingers across his chest. He tightened his arms around her and placed a small kiss on her forehead. He had hooked up with several different girls in this van but this was the first time he let any of them cuddle with him afterwards. He knew it was different with Emma. He may still be getting the same thing from her as he did the other girls but he knew she needed a little bit of extra attention.

She turned her head to give him a soft kiss on the lips when she noticed the tattoo for the first time. In black letters with two small hearts read the name of his girlfriend Alex. "When did you get this?" she asked tracing her finger over the tattoo. She hadn't pictured Jay as the type of guy who got his girlfriends name tattooed permanently on his body. She figured he must've really loved her even though it must be in some weird twisted way if he was still hooking up with other girls on the side.

"The tattoo? Sean and I got tattoos this weekend when I was up visiting." Jay explained. "We got tattoos of the name of the girl that was closest to our hearts."

"And whose name did Sean put on his?" Emma blurted out without thinking. It was a question she needed to know the answer to but wasn't sure if she really wanted to know.

"He put Ellie's name on it of course." Jay began. He saw Emma's expression of curiosity turn into an expression of hurt and sadness. Jay being the person he is opened his mouth again and started to speak without thinking it through first. "You didn't actually think he'd get a tattoo of your name, did you Em?"

Jay calling her by her nickname Em brought her back to reality and the mistake she had just made. Hooking up with Jay in a van was not her. What had she gotten herself in to she wondered. She grabbed her purse as tears started to well up in her eyes. "This was a mistake." she sniffled.

She headed towards the door of the van. "Wait." Jay called after her and grabbed her arm turning her around. He used his free hand to grab something out of his jeans pocket. "Every player gets a prize." he said as he linked the green wire bracelet around her wrist.

The tears began to fall as she saw the bracelet. She shook her head confused, turned around and opened the door to the van and stepped out.

"You'll be back." Jay called after her as she exited the van.

"I won't." She yelled back at him.

"You know where to find me when you need to forget." he said confidently.
