| JC sighed again as she still lay unmoving. It had been a little over a week, but� nothing. �Is she awake yet?� Heather asked, coming in for her daily visit. �No.� �These doctors aren�t doing a damn thing!� she complained. �They can�t even get her to wake up!� �They said she was lucky to even be alive,� JC said, �so don�t complain.� �I�m surprised you haven�t broken down and torn up this place yet.� �Why is that?� JC asked, continuing the conversation robotically. �Cuz she isn�t awake JC!� Heather said, waving her better arm. �Sheesh.� �I�m mad�it�s just�what�s the point of turning the place upside down?� he asked, taking a sip of his Coke. �Well�whatever. JC, her parents just called.� �What�d they say?� �They said that they got a flight today. Man. There were so many booked flights this week, they couldn�t get one sooner.� Heather ran her hand through her hair. �Her parents?� JC questioned, not so mechanically this time. �Coming here?� �It�s their DAUGHTER isn�t it?� Heather asked, eyebrow raised. �Whatever.� �It�s ok JC. They�ll like you,� Heather assured him, reading his mind. �I�ve never met her parents,� he mumbled. �I don�t even know how to act around them.� �Just act like the sweetheart you are.� JC shook his head. �Who is that? I don�t even know who I am anymore.� *** �STOP IT!� Heather cried, pulling JC down in a chair. �You are gonna wear the tiles down if you keep pacing!� �I can�t help it,� he shot back. �How would you feel if you were meeting Nick�s parents?� She blinked. �Ok. So I kinda get where you�re comin� from. But just sit still for a minute!� JC rolled his tired blue eyes. �Whatever.� �I�m serious.� �What if they don�t like me?� �They WILL like you,� Heather said for the umpteenth time. �But-� �Shut up,� Heather said, plugging her ear. �Just�I�ll tell you what to do.� �Really?� JC said, calming down a bit. �Yeah.� �What do I have to do?� �Ok the first thing you gotta do is�� *** �Flight 876 has arrived. Repeat, flight 876 has arrived,� the flight attendant announced over the PA. �Ugh. I�m so gonna bomb this,� JC groaned, his head plopping into his hands. �No you�re not,� Heather assured him. �As long as you follow all the rules I told you about, you will have no problem.� JC just sighed and stood up, waiting for Jessie�s parents to emerge. *** Nick looked at his watch again. �How long does it take for her to go and pick someone up?� �Ha. Maybe she and JC ran off together and plan to marry,� Brian said halfheartedly. Nick shot him a death glare. �AJ? Believable. But not JC. Nuh uh.� Brian rolled his eyes. �I didn�t mean it you baby.� �She was on the brink of death just last week,� Nick said quietly, �but I won�t let her get anywhere NEAR that close ever again.� *** �Yeah nice meeting you,� JC smiled, shaking Don�s hand. He waved as Jessie�s parents left for their rental car, heading to the hospital. �Holy CRAP that was hard!� JC said once they were out of earshot. �Just shut up and get into the car.� *** JC and Heather laughed as they got out of the car. �Man. I really did that?� JC asked, shaking his head. �It wasn�t your guardian angel!� JC rolled his eyes and opened the door for her. �Thanks.� �Yeah whatever,� JC said, still pretending to be mad. They entered the waiting room and immediately recognized the familiar curly fro of Justin. They walked over. Justin looked up. �Hey guys. I just found out something that you might wanna know�� TBC... Ending One Ending Two **Author's Note: I'm lazy. I was originally going to do four endings, but then I kept it at two because I'm not really feeling this story...sorry** |
