| Ring! Jessie broke away from JC and picked up the phone that had blasted away the peace she and JC had. �Hello?� she asked gruffly. �Sis?� She recognized the familiar voice immediately and answered, �Hey bro wassup?� �Heather�s with us right now�� he started. �You�re gonna be dead you know.� �She said it was ok.� �WHAT?!� �She said it was ok,� he repeated. �Ugh. Doesn�t the girl know how to get revenge?� she asked herself. She glanced at JC who was looking at her with a bored expression on his handsome face. She smiled and kissed him sweetly. �Jessie?� She broke away once again and said, �What?� �She wants to talk to you.� �Oh sure.� �Hello girl what�s up?!� she yelled. Jessie stared at the phone. That was the longest sentence she had spoken in a while, not including the police call. �Hey.� �What�s up?� she repeated. Jessie thought about it and asked, �Did AJ give you any speed at all?� �What? No!� �Oh. Just checking.� *** Nick smiled as he looked down at her face resting on his side. Her eyes were closed in her sleep. He brushed away the strand of hair falling to her face, his heart feeling light. His favor was no favor to anyone, and hurt himself in the process. His spirit lifted when she forgave him, and he felt whole again. After all the pain he had to face, he loved her even more than before. The attendant announced the nearing of their arrival to Pennsylvania, where the rest of the guys were waiting. AJ watched enviously, feeling all hope drain from his heart. He wished for something even remotely like that of which his friend had found so simply. Where was that someone in this crazy world? He traveled all over, and yet he had found no one. Maybe it was just his darn luck. Or maybe he concentrated on Heather too much and didn�t LET him love anybody. He could�ve kicked himself. But now his problem was solved. Now he was free from her spell, the one that had him enslaved for years. The words echoed like bells. He was free� He sat in his seat, happy for once. But he could still hear and see the past. Late at night you called on the phone We talked about the day When you found out he was cheatin� You tell me that it hurts to uphold To trust someone that way And find that he was deceiving. And I know that I�ve only just been your friend, But if you look my way I�ll make sure that you�re never hurt again. Do you know I exist? Just to promise you this Endlessly to make sure that you And if you answer my prayer I cross my heart and I swear, Endlessly to reassure you. And if you could only see, How beautiful and how I would be, endlessly I remember when you fell in love I could not believe That it was not with me I said a secret prayer up above And put my heart away So that you can be free I know your heart is broken in two But did you know my heart�s been broken since the day I met you? Do you know I exist? Just to promise you this Endlessly to make sure that you And if you answer my prayer I cross my heart and I swear Endlessly to reassure you And if you could only see And in my sweetest dream you learned to put your faith in me�endlessly -Backstreet Boys, �Endlessly� *** �She�s free,� Jessie said, hanging up with AJ. JC smiled. �Didn�t I tell you it would be alright?� Jessie smiled. �Yeah. You did.� Then his sapphire eyes clouded. �What is it?� she asked worriedly, sitting down in his lap. �Does AJ still�� She put a finger over his lips. �Don�t worry about it. He explained it to me. It�s gonna work out,� she assured him. �How can you be so sure?� he asked. �What if he just told you that just to keep you from asking questions?� Her smile lessened. �What if he�s telling the truth? What if he really is over her?� �Maybe he isn�t. I can only guess that he realized it. I think,� he said softly, taking her hands, �that he still loves her, but is letting Nick get her,� he stopped her from speaking, �because he realizes that she�s not the one.� She just stared. �I guess that could be true�� JC kissed her softly. �Don�t worry about it Jessie.� �Isn�t that what I told you?� she smiled. �Maybe.� Her smiled grew wider and JC beamed. �You make me smile too much,� he said. �Is that bad?� she asked jokingly. JC smiled. �No.� |
