A/N: If any of you remember the crap that was "Tell Me Where It Hurts", this story is actually a remake of that. I want to change the title but couldn't think of any. This time, though, I won't be writing as a 10-year-old. I'm doing it as a 16-year-old! And this time, I'LL ACTUALLY START WITH CHAPTER 1!!
This, actually, is just a script and not the finished work. I probably won't go back and edit stuff because... what would you people choose? That I finish the story or that I go back and make a few edits?
Chapter 1: Prologue
(Roy’s mansion, playing billiards)
Roy: I was at the formal party last night, having my usual drink with all my acquaintances. Then I met this girl…
Jake: Why am I not surprised?
Roy: (smiles) I apologize if you think I just can’t stop talking about females.
Jake: Just another day with Roy…
Roy: Anyway, please bare with me, my good cousin. I’m about to begin a detailed description. Her name was Marjory. This girl was beautiful, Jake. But actually, I don’t know how to best depict her. She’s more gorgeous than anything I can say. She has a very dazzling-
Jake: Okay, okay, I get it. She’s really beautiful and…you like her.
Roy: …I’m sorry again, Jake. I’m just…stunned today. I’m too stunned by Marjory’s-
Jake: You’re going to ask me what to do, right?
Roy: (nods)
Jake: Why me? Why do people keep asking me stuff about love?
Roy: Because we know that you’ve had a relationship before. I know it wasn’t a very good one, but you did get Catalina to be your girlfriend. Now, I’m asking for some advice.
Jake: Well I can’t give you any. Especially since I don’t know anything about Marjory except her name and the fact that she’s really beautiful.
Roy: Alright, thanks anyway…
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
(Roy is at Marjory’s house. He’s talking with Jeanne, Marjory’s younger sister.)
Roy: How am I going to tell her, Jeanne?
(Jeanne is half-asleep)
Jeanne: Oh, geez, Roy, I don’t know. Why the heck are you asking me? I’m not a guy…
Roy: Well, it’s because you’re her sister and you know her well…
(Jeanne yawns)
Jeanne: I’m really sleepy, Roy.
Roy: Isn’t it a bit early to be asleep?
Jeanne: Well, I really don’t know why I’m so sleepy.
(Jeanne’s head almost drops)
Jeanne: Why don’t you talk to sis right now?
Roy: Um, it really looks like you should get some sleep. Go on, Jeanne, I’m out.
Marjory: Hey, Roy! What are you doing here?
Roy: Uh…Marjory…! Hi…!
Marjory: What are you doing here?
Roy: Nothing, just…visiting you…I mean Jeanne…I mean, not that I wouldn’t visit you…I mean…
Marjory: Is… there something the matter?
Roy: No, no! I’m fine. I’m very fine.
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
(Next day…)
(Roy and Jake are in the limousine headed towards Marjory’s house)
Jake: Tell me why I have to come with you to the house of someone I don’t know?
Roy: Because, cousin, you make me feel like I have all the confidence in the world. And if somehow, along the way, I jeopardize my confession to her, I can always ask you for advice.
Jake: But if you don’t, then that would mean that my visit to their house would be utterly pointless.
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
Narrator!Jake: So, Roy didn’t screw up his confession. In fact, shortly after, they had a relationship. But my visit to their house wasn’t pointless, because that’s how I met Jeanne…

I'm not entering the contest. It ends at May 31 and that means I've only got one month to create a full 10-15 chapter story. I think that's impossible.

BD: Aww. Poohoo. I thought you were really entering the contest. I will help if I could but I can't. I'm not good of thinking of plots and stuff relating relationships and all that realistic stuff. If only there was some fantasy in your story, than maybe I can help.

Chapter 2 is here and done!
Chapter 2: Catalina
I thought you were my fairytale A dream when I'm not sleeping A wish upon a star Thats coming true But everybody else could tell That I confused my feelings with the truth When there was me and you
"When There Was Me and You" - High School Musical
Girl: Good morning, Mr. Sanders. Is Jake home?
Jake’s dad: Jake? Ah, I’m sorry young lady, but he’s at Jeanne’s place right now.
Girl: Jeanne?
Jake’s dad: You don’t know Jeanne? Well, Jake must not be expecting you. What are you going to see him for, anyways?
Girl: Nothing. Just that I hadn’t seen him in such a long time.
Jake’s dad: Hold on, I’ll give him a call.
Girl: Ah- no need, sir. Could you please just give me the address? I really want to see him in person.
Jake’s dad: Okay. What’s your name anyways?
Girl: Catalina, sir.
Jake’s dad: Catalina…? It’s…you!
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
(The city)
(Jake and Jeanne are walking through the city. Jake is carrying a large box of things that they picked up from Jeanne’s older house while Jeanne is carrying a bag)
Jeanne: Thanks for helping me, Jake. You’re such a nice guy.
Jake: (stiff voice) No… worries… this box only… weighs… a ton…
Jeanne: Oh, but I feel kind of guilty for making you do that.
Jake: No… it’s okay… really… urghhh…
Jeanne: Wait, I know how I can repay you! (gets something from out of her bag) I’ll let you borrow this Harry Potter Book!
Jake: Harry… Potter…?
Jeanne: You’ll love this book! (puts book on top of the box that Jake is carrying)
Jake: Urgh! No… please…!
Jeanne: You don’t look too happy about it… (teary eyes)
Jake: It’s okay… but…
Jeanne: I know! You can also borrow this Harry Potter Book 2! (puts book on top of the Harry Potter Book)
Jake: NO! URGHH!!!
(Jeanne’s message tone is heard)
Jeanne: Hey, my dad says he’ll be right over to pick us up now! Yay!
Jake: I’m free! I mean… Yay!
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
(Jeanne’s house)
(Doorbell rings)
Jeanne’s mom: Yes, little lady? What do you need?
Catalina: Is Jake Sanders here?
Jeanne’s mom: Oh, he left with Jeanne to the city to get a few things from our old house. They’ll be home shortly.
Catalina: Oh… okay. I’ll just wait for them.
Jeanne’s mom: In the meantime, why don’t you come inside and watch TV?
(Catalina comes inside and watches TV)
TV: We advise everyone to cross the East Fan Avenue with extreme caution, as there had been reported to be several muggers lurking there. They called themselves the “Red Cloud Bandits”. They are armed, and appear to be organized. Their hideout is yet unknown and the matter is currently being investigated by the authorities.
Catalina: (gulps)
Jeanne (from afar): Yay! Now we’re officially moved in!
Jake (from afar): Yeah, and the last two years don’t count because…?
Jeanne’s mom: Oh, they’re here already… JAKE, YOU HAVE A VISITOR!
Jake (inside the house now): A visitor? At your house?
Catalina: Jake, hi!
Jake: (O.o) …Catalina…?
Catalina: Oh, Jake, I missed you so much! (hugs Jake)
Jeanne: Who’s that, Jake?
Catalina: I’m his girlfriend!
Jake: Catalina, didn’t we-
Catalina: Jake-y! Let me take you out for a movie! My treat since I’ve missed you so much!
Jake: But Catalina-
Catalina: Meet me at the Movie House this Saturday at 10:00, okay?
Jake: But-
Catalina: Okay, bye now. (frolics off)
Jeanne: I didn’t know you had a girlfriend, Jake-y. Hee hee.
Jake: I don’t. We broke up.
Jeanne: Well then, why…
Jake: I don’t know. Maybe she doesn’t remember that day.
Jeanne: Why wouldn’t she?
Jake: Well… I don’t know that either.
(Pause)
Jake: Oh well. Free movie! Can’t deny that.
Jeanne’s mom: Here, you two, have some snacks.
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
(Roy and Jake eating at a restaurant)
Roy: So Catalina’s back. Interesting…
Jake: Yeah, and she still thinks we’re a couple. She’s taking me to a movie this Saturday. She must’ve lost some memory.
Roy: You just have all the luck, don’t you? Although, I suggest you tell her about your unfortunate break-up before things get complicated.
Jake: Think so? What if things turned out different this time?
Roy: Jake, if she did it once before, I can guarantee you she’ll do it again.
(Roy breaks a plate)
Roy: Holy shit.
Jake: So are you going to pay for that? Because, obviously, the shit isn’t doing it. No matter how holy.
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
(Catalina’s new home)
Mrs. Gilmore: Thanks for helping us with our stuff, Jake.
Jake: Well… my dad always makes it a point to help new neighbors by helping them move in their stuff. So… welcome to Megaville.
Mrs. Gilmore: Let’s hope we really are welcome here, ahahah.
Jake: Mrs. Gilmore, I have a question.
Mrs. Gilmore: It’s about Catalina’s memory, correct?
Jake: (nods)
Mrs. Gilmore: Oh, Jake, Catalina doesn’t remember anything that happened a week before the “accident”.
Jake: I see…
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
(At the School Hallway)
(Jerry, Jake, and Ruth, walking)
Jerry: No way, man! As in, Catalina Gilmore?
Jake: Yup.
Ruth: And she’s taking you out to a movie?
Jake: Yup.
Jerry: Sweet!
Jake: I’m not going to that movie, though. I’m going to tell her that we broke up today.
Jerry: But the movie is free!
Ruth: Jerry, where are your morals?
Jerry: Heh, I was just joking. But you know, I think it’d be kinda’ mean to her, man.
Jake: Why?
Jerry: Well… you know… kinda’ like… being cheated on. You think that a chick likes you, but she really doesn’t, y’know what I’m sayin’?
Ruth: I agree with him. That’d be awful if it happened to me.
Jake: Hmm… I think that-
(Catalina suddenly appears and bear-hugs Jake)
Catalina: JAKE-Y! Come here you, and take me to my classroom!
Jake: (whispering to Jerry) Quick, think of an excuse to get her off my back!
Jerry: You two lovebirds have fun!
Jake: That sure helped a lot.
Catalina: (dragging Jake) Let’s go! The bell is about to ring, Jake-y!
(Catalina drags Jake away from Jerry and Ruth)
Ruth: Look who’s riding the love boat again. (sighs)
Jerry: What’s wrong with you?
Ruth: Oh, don’t mind me, my friend. I don’t want you to worry.
Jerry: Oh, okay, I’m cool with that.
Ruth: You idiot, you’re supposed to keep making me tell you what’s wrong with me.
Jerry: Oh, so you do want me to worry!
Ruth: YES! I mean- NO! I mean- Ugh, look, the point is, I have a problem and it’s your job to comfort me.
Jerry: OH! That’s what you mean. Uh… why?
Ruth: Because! Ugh- look, let’s just skip to the problem part, why don’t we?
Jerry: I thought you didn’t want me to worry?
Ruth: ANYWAYS… my problem is that Catalina is taking THE LOVE OF MY LIFE to the movies. How unfair is that?
Jerry: Well… why don’t you take Jake to the movies?
Ruth: Well… I…
Jerry: (blinks)
(bell rings)
Ruth: Oh, there’s the bell! We gotta run!
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
(Cafeteria)
Catalina: Come on, Jake-y. That’s the last table.
Jake: I wanted to sit with Ruth and Jerry.
Catalina: Oh, where’s your sense of romance?
Jake: I guess it died.
(Catalina and Jake sit down)
Catalina: I love sitting in the cafeteria with my Jake-y.
Jake: Catalina, I…
Catalina: Yes?
Jake: I need to tell you something.
Catalina: What is it?
Jake: (pauses for a while) You know… you and I… we… uh…
(Jeanne arrives)
Jeanne: Uh, Jake, may I sit here with my boyfriend? All the other tables were taken.
Jake: Ask the boss. (points at Catalina)
Catalina: Oh, sure! That would be like… a double date in the cafeteria. So romantic!
Jake: (mumble) So cheap… (mumble)
Jeanne: What did you say?
Jake: I said… Let’s enjoy our meal.
(Ken arrives)
Ken: Uh… hi.
Catalina: Hello there.
Ken: So… what’s your name?
Catalina: My name? It’s Catalina.
Ken: Oh… that’s a nice name.
Jeanne: So… Ken… this is Jake. (points at Jake) He’s the sarcastic one. Hee hee. (sticks tongue out)
Ken: Okay. Nice to meet you Jake.
Jake: …yeah.
Catalina: You really have no enthusiasm at all, do you, Jake? You’re like that one character from “Weekend Love”.
Ken: You watch Weekend Love?!
Catalina: Yeah! That’s so the cutest show ever! And it’s so romantic!
Ken: And it’s really funny, too!
(Catalina and Ken start blabbering on about the show)
Jeanne: Gee… they sure are having fun.
Jake: It’s almost like they’re the couple.
Jeanne: Oh well. Ken is always like this with girls.
Jake: Really? You don’t get… you know… jealous or anything?
Jeanne: No, I believe in Ken. He’d never betray me for another woman. He loves me.
Jake: That so? Well, I think-
Jeanne: Oh my gosh! Ken’s choking! This is terrible!
(Jeanne and Ruth continuously hit Ken on the back)
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
(Jake’s home, Friday afternoon)
(Jake is at the terrace, deep in thought)
(Jeanne arrives)
Jeanne: …Jake?
Jake: Jeanne?
Jeanne: What are you doing?
Jake: I’m uh… thinking. What are you doing here?
Jeanne: Well… I had nothing to do so I came over.
Jake: Shouldn’t you be going to Ken’s place or something at a time like this?
Jeanne: Ken isn’t home. He barely comes home at all.
Jake: Don’t you get skeptical about what he does when he’s away from home like that?
Jeanne: (blinks) What do you mean?
Jake: Well you know… what if he does things? Like… flirt with other girls or something?
Jeanne: Don’t be silly… Ken would never do that. He loves me.
Jake: Hmm… I think that…
Jeanne: You think that what?
Jake: (sighs) I think that Ken’s very lucky to have someone like you who believes in him no matter what.
Jeanne: Oh… that’s so sweet. (hugs Jake) Thank you Jake.
Jake: (stiff voice) Okay… that’s enough… let go… my spinal chord!
Jeanne: (lets go) Oops… sorry. Eheheh… (sweat drops)
Jake: Phew…
Jeanne: So… what’s on your mind when I caught you alone in your terrace?
Jake: Ugh… you know, I can’t decide whether or not to tell Catalina we broke up.
Jeanne: Well, why don’t you?
Jake: I tried, Jeanne. But I looked her in the eye and I could see that she really wanted to keep the relationship.
Jeanne: Oh… what happened with you two anyways?
Jake: Well… I broke up with her because she became a little too obsessed with me. I mean, it was fun the first time, but as time grows, she keeps wanting me more and more and… I just found it uncomfortable. She’s CRAZY.
Jeanne: So… why does she still think you’re her boyfriend?
Jake: Heh, Jeanne, when I said she’s “crazy”, I really meant it. Her brother died. She had a mental break. She tried drugs, then she couldn't stop, and now she's totally addicted.
Jeanne: That’s horrible.
Jake: Shortly after our break-up, she called me on the phone. She said that she was in her car and that if I don’t get back together with her again, she’d run at 60 kph and ram her car.
Jeanne: S-so… what did you say?
Jake: I wasn’t given the chance to say anything, I guess. She was so preoccupied with me that she rammed her car right before I could respond. She was sent to the hospital and… her mom said that she lost the memory of the week before that accident.
Jeanne: That’s terrible. (teary eyes)
Jake: But now that she’s back… (sighs) I don’t know what to do. I mean.. how will she feel about it?
Jeanne: Well… shouldn’t it depend on how you feel?
Jake: How I feel?
Jeanne: Yup. My mom said that you should only keep a relationship if you love the person. So… if you love her, you should continue the relationship, but if you don’t, then there’s no reason to do so, right?
Jake: …Damn, you’re right. You know what? You’re the only one who gave me some meaningful advice. You’re not as dumb as you look.
Jeanne: Hey, what’s that supposed to mean?
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
(Auditorium)
Ruth: I’m really scared. It’s as if I’m dragged into a realm wherein a flame consumes my soul with unimaginable pain for all of eternity! What if I don’t get accepted in the musical?!
Jerry: Well if you think you won’t get in, girl, why are you auditioning?
Ruth: Jerry, you’re not helping you idiot!
Jerry: I’m just sayin’…
Jeanne: Don’t worry, Ruth! You’ll do great! We believe in you!
Jake: Yeah, we believe that you’ll fluke!
(Jerry and Jake laugh)
Jeanne: Hey, that’s a bad thing to say.
Ruth: Oh, when I’m finished auditioning, you two, I’m gonna- OH MY GOD IT’S MY TURN!
Mrs. Sanchez: Ruth Collins?
Ruth: Right here, Mrs. Sanchez!
Jerry: Don’t worry, you’re not going to fluke. Or get stage fright. Or forget your line. Or-
Ruth: Stop counting the number of ways I can mess this up!
Mrs. Sanchez: Ruth Collins! Double-time please!
Ruth: Wah! I’m coming!
(Ruth runs off)
Jerry: So, dude, tomorrow is your movie day. What’s your say?
Jeanne: Yeah, what are you going to tell her tomorrow?
Jake: It’s a secret.
Jerry: Dude! There’s no need to hold us in suspense!
Jake: …
Jeanne: Come on, Jake. Please?
Jake: I’ll tell you two…
Jeanne: Yay!
Jake: But only if you promise to finish my two late projects.
Jerry: What the- NO!
Jake: Well then, I’m not telling.
Jeanne: Oh, that’s so unfair, Jake!
Jake: Quiet, you two. Ruth’s auditioning.
** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
(Saturday, the movie day)
(Jerry, Ruth, and Jeanne are walking in the park. Jerry’s hair is dripping wet.)
Ruth: (giggling) That must have been such an enjoyable trip for you, Jerry. So thrilling! So full of suspense!
Jerry: Man, this is so not fun!
Ruth: Hey, it isn’t our fault that you dove into the water.
Jerry: How was I supposed to know that the rail was broken?
Jeanne: We’re lucky that the amusement park person was kind enough to lend you his clothes.
Jerry: Hey, look… (narrows eyes) doesn’t that chick look familiar?
(Catalina rushes past them sniffing)
Ruth: That was Catalina!
Jerry: Wow. What happened to her?
Jeanne: It looks like she was… crying.
(Jake walks slowly towards them, holding his blood-red cheeks)
Jerry: That guy looks even more hurt. I’d sure hate to be that guy.
Ruth: Jake! You look as if your cheeks have died a thousand deaths! What the heck happened to you?
Jake: Let’s just say that Catalina didn’t take it very well.
Jeanne: You look terrible. What did you tell her? (teary eyes)
Jake: Uh… well…
**FLASHBACK**
Catalina: WWWWWWWWHHHHHAT!?!?
Jake: That’s how it happened. Really.
Catalina: Jake, I SWEAR, things will be different this time. In fact, I’ll-
Jake: Catalina, I appreciate the love you gave me last time, but… my feelings for you are gone now.
Catalina: Why?!
Jake: Because… I found out your true self. Who you were before you became my girlfriend – that’s the girl I was in love with.
Catalina: But Jake… I can change!
Jake: I’m sorry. But you’ve already shown me who you really are. And you can’t force yourself to change that…
**FLASHBACK**
Jake: That’s just about all I can remember of it.
Jeanne: Poor girl.
Ruth: She’ll get over it.
Jake: I hope so. I don’t want any more life-threatening calls.
Jerry: Well let’s hope the accident fixed her sanity too.
Jake: I’m afraid. Before she left, she gave me a look that said “I am going to kill you”. I wonder what’s going to happen?
Jerry: Whatever it is, you’d better be ready for it. And we’ll be there to help you, isn’t that right, Jeanne? (smacks Jeanne on the shoulder)
Jeanne: Ow! You didn’t have to do that!
Jerry: I was just being friendly!
Jeanne: It’s not okay to hit!
Jerry: Well I’m sorry for dirtying your skin Ms. Princess!
(Jerry and Jeanne argue incoherently)
Jake: Yup. I could really use the support of… these people.
<END OF CHAPTER>

Okay, great. Now the whole chapter is complete.
And I kinda' need help, people. I need a song with lyrics that talk about insanity, because the next chapter will be all about Catalina doing some crazy shit.
