Author's note: This is strictly Leslie didn't Die!

He watched her walk away wet with her hair planted around her in his opinion beautiful face. "See you tomorow Jess!" her beautiful voice called out all he could do was stare. She loved the rain and he loved her he knew deep down he had loved her from the start but, he'd never tell her that she couldn't feel the same.He began walking towards his house a feeling of disappointment and shame "I'm nuthin but a coward" he thought angrily to himself.He climbed into bed one thought and one vision in his head: Leslie.

She saw him watch her ad she loved it because she loved him. Her Dad had told her that since she was only 10 never to say that she loved anyone other then family but, she was feeling something beautiful.It always occured near Jesse Oliver Aarons,and only him. She thought tousands of times how her name sounded better as Mrs.Leslie Aarons.It made her feel good thinking about it.She knew of course Jess had a "crush" on Ms.Edmunds who could blame him she was perfect Leslie wished with all her being Jesse would see her as he saw Ms.Edmunds.Of course she didn't know her thoughts and Jesse's were similar as she drifted off they were dreaming of: Mrs.Leslie Aarons.

Jesse woke up in the middle of the night and decided he would sneak out and tell Leslie the truth and nothing would stop him.He ran thru the pasture to Leslie's house and started to throw pebbles at her window. Finally, after 20 minutes of throwing rocks he saw a bedside lamp come on and Leslie's figure come to the window. "Jess what are you doing here it is 1:00 in the morning!"she said confuesed but not angry in the least bit. "Leslie I have to talk to you come to the door."

Although she was confused Leslie trusted him and came down the stairs and unlocked the door and stood in front of him. "What did you want to talk about couldn't it have waited?" she asked with a yawn. "Look Leslie I know you probaly want to got ot bed so I'll make it quick I love you always have and I wanted to know if you loved me too." he said hope in his voice and eyes. She stood quiet the wind blowing her hair he took her silence as a no and headed toward his home when he heard her call him "Jess" she whispered. "Look Leslie if you don't like me just..." he never got to continue her lips crashed onto his in a warm and quick kiss. then they heard the thunder and it began to rain. Leslie had got her wish and the thing that made it 10 times better...she loved the rain!
