| ~Test of Your Sanity 7~ |
| The lights of Orlando blinked at her, as if teasing her. Her tears rolled slowly and itched as they trickled down her cheeks. The wind blew softly, making the leaves wave slightly. Her thoughts were jumbled and confusing. Her eyes were red and puffy. �Jessie?� Her insides froze and she wiped the tears away. �Leave me alone.� �Jessie, I�m here to help you,� he said softly, stepping closer. She tensed, the wind suddenly getting stronger. �Help?� �Chris said something to you and I know it.� �So what if he did?� Jessie asked, stepping to the right. �You know I�m gonna kill him.� She smiled lightly, but frowned soon after. �C�mon. Where�s that wonderful smile of yours?� JC joked, standing next to her. Her smile came, but left as she caught herself. �What did he say?� he asked, putting his arm around the young woman�s shoulders. Jessie sniffled. �Nothing.� �You can tell me.� �No I can�t,� she said, moving away, but still in his arms. �Was it bad?� She looked away. �It was stupid ok? I don�t wanna talk about it.� �Please Jessie. You know you can trust me. I truly am sorry about what happened before-� She burst into tears when he repeated what Chris told her. JC tightened his grip around her, this time putting both arms around her. To his relief, she didn�t pull away. She sobbed into his shirt. �I�m sorry JJ. I didn�t mean to make you cry.� He gently rubbed her back, hoping to make her feel better. She stopped crying and sniffled. She looked up at JC�s worried face. �You mean it, don�t you?� �I always have.� �I should�ve believed you before.� He hugged her tightly and said, �You didn�t believe me when I told you I loved you?� �Not that. I believed that. But when you said you weren�t cheating on me.� JC closed his eyes and remembered what happened. �It�s ok.� She wrapped her arms around JC�s waist and hugged him so tight he almost choked. She felt so stupid, but happy. �I love you,� Jessie whispered. Tears came to his eyes when she said the 3 words he wanted to hear for forever. �I love you too JJ.� *** �Are you sure that�ll work?� Heather asked skeptically. �Positive,� Chris assured her. �I�ve seen it work.� �Right. Probably on TV,� Lance said. �I have my doubts.� �Oh ye of little faith. FRIENDS is a great show to pick things up,� Chris said. �FRIENDS?� Justin questioned. �The show where Ross and Rachel break up about a hundred times in one season?� �No. It�s A MILLION times,� Chris answered. They rolled their eyes at his joke. �But really. This is gonna work. They�ll be back together before ya know it.� �Hey guys.� They turned around and saw JC, Jessie in his arms, leaning against him. Her eyes were still red from her crying on the balcony. �Wow Chris. You�re right. It worked,� Justin laughed. Heather and Lance laughed as Jessie and JC looked at them strangely. �What�s up with YOU guys?� they asked. �Nothing.� �What happened?� Heather asked, curious for details. �Nothing.� �Sure,� Justin dragged out. �C�mon. Details!� �Whatever Justin,� JC said, brushing him off. �Oh c�mon C!� Chris begged. Then he smiled. �The only reason that you�re back together is because I made her cry in the first place. See? It was ALL me.� �Ooh look who has the big ego!� Heather joked, poking Chris� side. �Hey!� �Heather?� Heather turned around. �Yeah?� �I finally found you!� Nick cried, grabbing her hand. �C�mon. I thought you dis-appeared.� Heather shrugged and stood up, following Nick. �Are they dating?� Chris asked. �From what I know,� Jessie answered. �You wanna sit?� JC asked her. She nodded a little and he pulled out a chair, gesturing her to sit down. Jessie smiled at his kindness and sat down. He pulled out another chair and sat down next to her. He finally got her back and he wasn�t gonna lose her this time. �NICK CARTER?� Justin questioned. �WHY?� �I dunno. I THINK she likes him,� Jessie said sarcastically. �I THINK that�s why they�re dat-ing.� �Shut up Jessie. You haven�t changed at all,� Justin noted. �You�re still the sarcastic girl I�ve always known. �And I�m never changing,� she said, feeling a lot better now. �Not even when I�m married.� �JC will have to protect those kids then,� Chris sighed. �What?� they asked him, not believing what they heard. �Nothing.� Jessie sighed. �What?� JC asked. �I think me and Heather started this trend.� |
