Everyone took a chair and sat down. I decided to seize this moment as an opportunity to make immense. Me- �B4 nebody says nething else�there�s sumthing I wanna say�� I looked towards Chris & saw him nodding and smiling back. Me- �look u guys, I asked u all here for a reason, well c, I know that I haven�t lived here a long time yet and all�.but I feel like within the time I have been here, I�ve kinda helped to screw things up�And I�m very sorry for nething that I have done to ne of u guys to make u mad, upset, or uneasy�I didn�t try to mess up nebody�s life, and I hope that u can except my apology�� While I said this I made sure that I made eye contact with Eva. I knew that I was definitely over-do for an apology to her & I really did feel bad about it, too. After another moment of silence, Eva cleared her throat to speak. Eva- �Val, I�ve been thinking about this whole tape thing and well��I wanna forgive u for it. And Gabby & Cate, I wanna forgive u guys too. Staying mad doesn�t help nething, I wanna start over again... What do ya think?� Gabby was immediate to answer� Gabby- �I say yeahh!!!� Cate- �That is, if u say alright??� Greg- *scratching his chin* �Dangit that sounds familiar�.� *Matt takes the liberty to whack Greg in the back of the head* Greg- �heyy, Ouchies!!!� Me- �Well, I�m for it�� Eva- �ok good�.and another thing� Val, AND Jesse�.

I finally began to feel like I could relax�which I hadn�t been able to do very much since I moved in� *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* All 10 of us had the best time at those basketball courts, (haha, I DID go home and change into sum less-dressy clothes if that�s what ure wondering.) However, after a ton of laughs and a sweaty basketball game (at which we crushed Chris and Greg 21-6.) we all decided to make our ways home. It was just about 6�o clock and the sun was starting to make its way down the sky�forming a beautiful sunset. It was so pretty that Jesse & I decided to walk the whole way home�.ummm, just 3 or 4 blocks, hehe�. Me- *while taking in a deep breath of fresh air* �U know, I�m so glad that things seem to be working out now�� Jesse- �yeah! After Friday night I didn�t think that things could be resolved so quickly�� After a few more words, I decided to change the subject� Me- �I think I really like it here in Westchester�.� Jesse- *raising one eyebrow* �Are u for real?� Me- *confused* �Huh? What do u mean?� Jesse- �Everything seems so perfect now�ure so perfect�� Uhhhh�what was that? Could he repeat that just one more time, please??? Me, Valerie Johnson�.perfect? Nope. Just didn�t fit. Me- *laughing* �Oh please! Yeah rite hun! But u wanna know sumthing secret??� Jesse- �What? Yess�.� I took a step closer to him and whispered into his ear, �I think I love u, Jesse McCartney�� I think that I caught Jesse blush, just for a slight second after I said that. He smiled one of his wonderful, heart-melting smiles and then went on to say�.. Jesse- �I wanna ask u sumthing�.� Me- �Ok, shoot�.� Jesse- �Kay, well�.next Saturday the other guys n I have a concert down in Massachusetts�.and I was thinking that maybe u�d like to come down with me? Then I could meet ure friend u were talking about�Jana?� Me- �Oh, oh my gosh! That�s a great idea! I�d love to!� I gave my bf a quick peck on the check. Me- �Oh it�ll be great! Oh u�ll love Jana! I just know u will! It�ll be sooo much fun!� I continued to ramble on about the concert the rest of the way home, until I said goodbye to Jesse at my front door. This was gonna be sooo awesome!! |
