Hello, I'm JessiE, and here it is, If Only, my officially first fan fiction. Have fun reading!

This story has 5 sagas, this is Saga 2, and each saga starts with chapter    1 back again... and a fair WARNING! This story is long ... very long (to  me)!

This chapter has a new character, Jesse, spelt just a bit like my nickname (JessiE) but with no 'i'! So do not get confused. 'Jesse' is a guy anyway.

Just a reminder that Saga 2 is very long, I think the longest saga among five. But have fun reading!

If Only,
Saga 2,
Chapter 1,
By JessiE

          The world turned solemn after the accident happened. JC and Jennifer were sent to the same hospital and they were put in different wards, which were just next to the other. They were in critical condition and they were believed to be unconscious for the next few days.

          About JC, the news about him were spreading like crazy through all over the world. His group friends, Justin, Chris, Lance and Joey came over to visit him everyday. All their plans like tours and other sort of stuffs were postponed. Besides his friends, JC's family also gave him a visit often.

          On the other hand, Jennifer had more serious injuries than JC. Almost her whole body was bandaged, including her face. But she still had two companions visiting her everyday - Amanda and Brian. They were totally worried about her.

          Apart all that, they still cared about JC too. They still hardly believed JC was involved in the accident as well. Brian told Nick, AJ, Kevin and Howie about JC. Amanda, Brian and his buddies gave their support to him, his buddies and his family. They were also allowed to visit JC sometimes. JC's buddies also knew about Jennifer being hospitalized just right next to JC's ward. Yet they still remembered her. They would visit her sometimes too. However, Jennifer sure was not visited by any of her relatives- neither her parents nor her siblings. That was because she did not have any. Her parents died when she was a teenager and she was the only child in the family. She had no other relatives.

          Back to JC who had been unconscious for some time. The time the world had been waiting for finally arrived. At last,  JC awakened from his unconsciousness. The people who were visiting him at that time was Justin and Chris. Justin was like jumping up and down when he heard JC droned.

          "Haah! JC!" he cried. "Chris, JC just droned! He's awake!"

          At that moment, JC opened his eyes. "Justin? Chris?"

         "JC!" Chris said excitedly. "We miss you dude!"

         He widened his eyes and looked around. "Where am I?"

         "Hospital. You've been in an accident," Justin explained.

         "Accident?" he tried to get up and this made him bawled.

         "Hey, JC lie back!" Chris helped him to lie again. "You're not allowed to move. Justin just told you that you had an accident and you tried to get up? Just rest. As the doctor said, you got serious injuries man. Almost your whole body is bandaged.

         "Argh, that hurt me a lot..." he groaned. "I feel very groggy."

         "That's because you're sick! And you've also been unconscious for days. Now rest." Justin exclaimed seriously.

         "Unconscious? No wonder I felt like I've been like sleeping for a long time."

         "The other girl still hasn't awakened yet, so you'd better thank God that you're awake now."

         "The other girl?"

         "Oh, Jennifer McKaustin," Chris said. "She's involved in this accident too. She's got worse condition than you. She's still not awake yet till now."

         "Jennifer? You mean that girl who interviewed us not too long ago?" He tried to refresh his mind.

         "Yup."

         Oh, I remember now! I was driving very fast when a woman was crossing the road... I hit her and then—

         "And you know what? Amanda McFarrell always visits her everyday with Brian from the Backstreet Boys."

         "Brian? What, he knows her well is it?" JC wondered.

         "I don't know. They sometimes came and visit you too. Not forgetting Kevin, AJ, Howie and Nick. I have to admit even though them and us are competitive groups, they're still nice.""

         "Yeah I admit that too. Anyway, your family came over too sometimes," said Chris.
 
         "Really?" He got a bit happier.

         "Yeah. Just wait. They'll come soon after this. When they see you being awake, they'd be very happy."

         JC smiled. Although he felt extreme pain all over his body, he still felt a bit happy. But something else made him felt bad.

         Jennifer... I think if I never sped in driving the other day, she might've been okay. She'd still be in good health. But she's injured even more badly than me now, and it's my fault.

         I'm looking forward to see her though...




           Amanda and Brian stared at Jennifer, still not believing they were actually seeing Jennifer unconscious in a hospital bed. They just waited there all day, not even talking to each other at all. But then Amanda's hand phone rang.

         "Hello?" she said with no enthusiasm. Brian looked at her.

         "Really?" she said after listening to the voice talking over the phone. "Good, then. Thanks for telling me." She ended the call.

         "What's that all about?" Brian asked, anxious.

         "That was one of JC's bodyguards out there, whose name is Mark. He said JC became conscious just now."

         "Good to hear that... at least..." he said, not sounding too excited.

         Yeah, so he's conscious, but all I care now is Jennifer to be conscious soon.

         "I feel better about that, at least we know one of the two accident victims is awake right now. Hopefully, Jennifer will be
awake too soon."

         "She will."

         Then all of a sudden, Jennifer opened her mouth. She opened her eyes and uttered out an 'uh' sound.

         "What...?  Where am I...?" she said with a weak voice. Amanda and Brian were bowled over to notice her opening her mouth.
  
         "Jennifer!" they both said at one fell swoop. Jennifer looked at them, confused.

         "Where am I? What happened to me...?"

         "You were involved in an accident. You're at the hospital now, and don't even think about moving an inch because you're seriously injured," Amanda explained.

         "Aa ...? Hospital? Accident?" she tried to refresh her memories up. She stared at them for a while. Then she remembered everything. "You... you guys were the ones who destroyed my life."

         Amanda and Brian looked at each other as if they were giving a message to each other by heart saying 'Oh my God, she remembers it all'.

         "I don't see why you deserve to be here. Get out of here..." Jennifer warned weakly. "And never, ever return."

         "But—" Amanda was about to say something when Brian put his index finger to her lips.

         "Don't make things worse. Let's get out of here," he whispered to her. Then, he pulled her out of the ward slowly and closed the door.

         "What were you doing? I was about to make an explanation—"

         "What do you want to explain? I think she knows everything and there's nothing more you can explain to her."

         Suddenly, Lyn, Jennifer's nurse, came up to them. "Amanda, Brian, anything happening yet?"

         "Jennifer's awake. But she treated us coldly," Amanda answered, frustrated.

         "Really? Good. But why did she treat you coldly?"

         "It's a long story."

         "Whatever the story is, if she may get upset by seeing you two, I think it's better if you don't come and see her for a while. Maybe you should pay her a visit when she gets better soon."

         "You're right, Lyn. Thanks anyway," Brian uttered. Lyn gave them a simple yet lovely smile and entered Jennifer's ward.

         "So we're not supposed to visit her for now?" Amanda asked.

         "That's what it seems."

         Amanda lay her back against the wall and closed her eyes.

         Oh my God... this is all my fault... but it's too late to think about that now!

         The only thing I want now is for Jennifer to forgive what I've done. But will she ever forgive me?
