Don't Try (GERARD WAY FANFIC) (BOOK 2)

Chapter Three-New Guy

Jenna's POV

"We're here with Jenna Way of New Jersey. She flew all the way to Los Angeles to talk about her new single, Missing You.

"Now tell us Jenna, who inspired this song? It has to be about an ex, it's too good not to be!"

The interviewer and I laugh, but then I think about who it is about.

"Well Mary, it's is indeed about an ex. We were together not that long but I fell hard. And he's the father of my son, Dextin."

Mary's face perks up at the mention of my son.

"Awh you have a son, is he here today?"

I nod.

"Yes, he's actually watching from the side with my friends."

I lean over and wave to where I see my two friends and Dextin. They wave back.

"We'll bring him out here! I bet everyone is dying to see this adorable little boy."

I see Hayley whisper down to Dextin, then he gets up from the floor and runs out to me.

"Hi mommy!"

You can hear Mary and the other workers around awh at him. I place Dextin on my lap since there's no where else to sit.

"This is my son Dextin. Say hi to the nice lady."

He waves at Mary and says a polite hello. He is so well mannered, I don't know how I got this lucky.

"Well hello there Dextin! How old are you?"

He holds up five fingers and smiles brightly.

"I am five wears old. My bwirthday was two months ago!"

Mary and I laugh at my little boy.

"Yes, on September 24th. Now he's my big strong five year old."

I give him a hug and he hugs me back. More awhs are heard.

"Now Dextin, give the camera a wave then go back to Aunt Hayley, okay?"

He waves to the camera then hops off my lap, running to the side where Hayley and Jerome are still standing.

Mary and I continue with the interview for about twenty more minutes, then it ends. I find my friends and son off to the side, talking to some workers while Dextin plays with his toy on the ground again.

"Hey guys, you ready?"

They nod, so I pick up Dextin and we exit the building.

"Oh shit I almost forgot my disguise."

I put Dextin down on the sidewalk and slide on some sunglasses and a wig from my bag. Ever since I released that song I've been kind of famous. Everyone always wants autographs and pictures. I usually don't mind, but this is LA, there are so many fans here.

"So do you guys want to go sightseeing today? Since our flight back to Jersey isn't for another two days."

Hayley and Jerome nod, so I grab Dextin's hand and the four of us start walking. We first stop at the walk of fame, because who doesn't go there when here in this city. And of course the Hollywood sign.

"Oh boy I'm starving, can we go get something to eat?"

I feel my stomach rumble, looks like I'm hungry as well.

"Yeah I'm with Jerome, let's go eat."

We end up at a cute little diner. There's a coffee bar that we all sit at, with myself at the end. The three adults order coffee and meals, while my little Dextin gets chocolate milk and pancakes.

As we're all eating and talking, I feel a presence next to me. I turn and see that a man is now sitting in the stool next to me. I don't notice him that much, until he spills his coffee.

"Oh I am so sorry Miss."

I quickly move my plate from the mess and grab napkins to help him.

"Don't worry about it, my son has made worse messes."

As I help the man wipe up his spill, I get a good look at his face. Black hair, a strong jawline, dark brown eyes, and an attractive face. My heart starts to pound. I haven't been with anyone or even liked anyone since Gerard, but maybe it's time.

"Oh you have a son?"

Great I already scared him off.

"I love kids! I've always wanted my own, but I haven't found a girl I would want to settle down with yet."

I smile, thank god I didn't blow this.

"Yeah I do, this is my son right here."

I move my head so he can see Dextin.

"He's adorable. Oh and by the way, my name is Tony Starch."

He sticks his hand out and I shake it.

"Jenna. Jenna Way."

We get to talking, but eventually I have to leave. Tony and I exchange numbers and give each other a hug goodbye. When the four of us exit the cafe, Hayley and Jerome are staring at me.

"What are you guys looking at."

Jerome smiles and shakes his head, but Hayley of course lets me know what's on her mind.

"Girl I saw you chatting up a storm in there. You better go out on a date with him before we go back to Jersey. Jerome and I can watch Dex. But it's about time that you got out there and got laid. You need someone or else you'll end up with a bunch of cats."

I roll my eyes at her, but she's right. I need to start thinking of myself.

"Okay fine, I'll text him now. Maybe we can go out for drinks?"

"Yes! That's my girl."

I chuckle then pull out my phone and send Tony a text, asking if he wanted to go to a bar or club. He replies with yes, and then a time and place. I look it up to see a club. Looks like we're going dancing.

"Okay, so now I need a club outfit. I definitely did not pack one."

Hayley shrieks then drags me to the closest clothing store. Jerome tells us he's going to take Dextin to a nearby park to wait for us.

We enter the store and Hayley goes to where the dresses are located.

"Okay this is cute but so not you. This is too frilly. Too bright. Ugh this place sucks."

Hayley goes from rack to rack, looking for something for me. She's much better at picking out clothes than me.

"Ooo I found something!"

My best friend runs over to me with a tight black dress that goes down to my mid thigh. Oh boy.

"You're going to look so hot and all the guys are going to want you. And I can do your makeup if you want. I'll go for a hot and sexy look. That dude is going to want to rip this dress off of you the moment he sees you."

Before Hayley can give me any more descriptive thoughts, I take the dress from her and go to the changing room. Once I slide it on, I look in the mirror. Damn, I do look really hot in this. If only Gerard could-

No. Don't think of him. This is you moving on. You don't love him anymore. I broke his heart and left Zero Zero. I just think I love him because I had his son. But I'm going to move on. It's been five almost six years. I got this.

With this burst of confidence, I exit the dressing room to show Hayley my dress. I'm absolutely ready for tonight.

YES THAT MAY BE TONY STARK. A YOUNG 26 YEAR OLD TONY STARK. I WANTED TO USE THE NAME TONY AND THEN TONY STARK CAME INTO MY HEAD IM SORRY. PLEASE FORGIVE ME. ALSO SORRY SHE NEEDED A LAST NAME AND SINCE GERARD ISNT USING WAY I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WOULD BE JENNA'S. ANYWAY I HOPED YOU LIKE THIS. SEE YOU NEXT TIME!
