| ~The Part of Me I Never Had 14~ |
| I cried uncontrollably into JC�s shoulder in the waiting room, awaiting any news. The doctor came out and announced, �I�m sorry, Heather has passed away.� I started sobbing again. �I�m sorry. We did the best we could.� JC held me tighter. It was only 7:00. I got back into the car sitting in the back seat with Justin, crying my eyes out. I held on to him very tightly afraid if I let go, I�d feel alone and vulnerable. Justin had gone into the other room, to talk to the others. JC and I went back into our hotel room. I had managed to stop crying, but I couldn�t stop myself from thinking about what had happened. How she said goodbye, to how she was covered with the white sheet. �JC, I think I�m gonna stay here. You can go if you want.� Then I added, �Sorry about our date. We�ll reschedule right?� He nodded. I gave him a hug and a light kiss. He pulled me closer to him and he whispered, �You�ll get through this. I�ll make sure you do.� Then he kissed my forehead. I hugged him tight. �Thanks JC. Thanks for everything.� I went to change and wallow in sadness. When I got out, I was surprised to see JC, stripped down to his boxers, watching TV. �I thought you guys were gonna go out,� I said as I sat down next to him. He put his arm around me and said, �I thought that if I went out, I wouldn�t be able to enjoy myself because I�d be too worried about you still stuffed in a hotel room with nothing to do.� �That�s sweet. I think.� �Why don�t we just sit and watch some TV huh?� �Sounds good to me.� In just an hour, JC had whisked away my problems and got me to open up to him. He was so easy to talk to, so thoughtful, so fun, and so perfect. We watched TV until 11 when we fell asleep in each other�s arms. ************************************************************************************* The next morning I woke up once again in an empty bed. I could hear running water and Justin was sleeping soundly in the next bed. �Guess JC�s in the shower� I got up and went over to Justin�s bed and shook him a little. �Justin? Time to wake up.� �Just 5 more minutes mom,� Justin whined. I held back a giggle and said, �Justin, someone just egged your Benz.� �Someone just egged my-� He shot up. �Egged my Benz?!� I burst out laughing. He looked over at me as the situation dawned on him. �Think you can make me look like a fool huh?� I held back the urge to say, �No, you can do that on your own.� He jumped at me and started to tickle me. �Stop! <gasp!>Stop!<laugh><gasp>� Just then JC came out of the bathroom. �JC! <gasp><laugh>HELP!� �C�mon J. Get off her.� �C�mon man. I�m just havin� some fun with her,� Justin pouted, stopping. I seized the moment and tackled Justin. �HEY!� We wrestled each other for a while until JC pulled me off. I think he was waiting for the moment when he wouldn�t get hurt. �C�mon JC! Just lemme whack him one more time!� I yelled trying to get at the retreating Justin. JC set me down. �I don�t think so you guys. Stop acting like 2 year olds,� he scolded. Justin and I looked at each other. �Let�s get �im.� We attacked, but we stopped when we heard a knock on the door. Not bothering to check the peephole, I opened the door. It wasn�t Chris, Joey, or Lance. It was actually two girls. �Uh oh� I thought to myself. They looked at me confused. �Sorry. Just wait a minute.� I turned to the guys. �Hey guys! Got company.� �Oh. Ok.� �Who are you?� one girl asked. She couldn�t be more than 15. �I�m just a friend.� They looked at me weird and so I left for the bathroom. Let JC deal with them. ************************************************************************************** I came out dressed in a long white skirt with a slit on the both sides, a baby blue off the shoulder tee, and I put my hair up in a high ponytail. I put on a strappy pair of white-heeled sandals. �Hey, where are you goin� JJ?� �Yeah, where are you goin�?� asked JC. �Out,� I said grabbing JC�s keys. JC stood up. �Out where?� I was getting frustrated. �He really lives up to his nickname� �Just out.� I stopped. �Ok so I don�t really know where I�m goin�. I�m jus� gonna drive around.� �I�ll go with you,� JC offered. �UGH! What�s with the 3rd degree here?� �No. You probably have something to do today.� �No, I�m free today.� �Really JC. You don�t have to come,� I argued. �Just listen to him JJ. He�s dyin� for some lovin�.� JC glared at him. �Ok, ok. You can come,� I surrendered. JC was obviously pleased. I sighed. �Let�s go.� |
