The band started playing and she went over and started singing with the rest of the croud. Melinda sat down while Jim went over and was singing as well. He went up to the girl and after the song was over Jim and the girl went over to Melinda. The girl grabbed her purse and water from the table over and sat down with the two and the three of them began a nice chat.
" Hi, I'm Melinda Gordon and this is my husband Jim Clancy."
" Nice to meet you both, I'm Michaela Gordon."
" So you like Three Days Grace?" Jim asks.
" Yeah, you know it's a funny story I didn't like them before but my friend made me listen to Pain one time all the way through and I fell in love with their music. It's just so passionate and full of emotion. I love all their songs but Pain is deffinately my favourite song. How about you?"
" I've always loved Three Days Grace, Melinda on the other hand doesn't. She just comes here for me, she doesn't understand what she's missing."
" Melinda's stubborn, I can see it in her face. I'll come chat with you guys in a bit I just have to go do something." Michaela says before rushing off.
Michael went the far left corner and began talking to herself, or so it looked that way from Jims eyes. Melinda saw something different, Michaela was talking to a ghost. Which ment she was like Melinda, a ghost whisperer. Michaela walked the ghost to an old woman sitting down at a table and after a little bit of talking the ghost went into the light and Michaela made her way back to Jim and Melinda.
" Sorry, I was talking on the phone then I recognized that lady, she used to work at my old highschool." Michaela replies.
" I know the truth about you Michaela. You see ghosts, I know this because I see them too. I saw you talking to him in the corner. You crossed him over."
" Yeah, yeah I do." " How long have you seen them for?" Jim asks.
" My whole life, why?"
" Just wondering" Jim replies.
" Wait you said your old highschool, I thought you were in highschool. How old are you?"
" Twenty four, I don't look it but I am."
" What do you do for a living?"
" It's more like what don't I do? I'm taking my online bachelor degree in Fashion Designing, I'm a dance teacher, I own the new store in the town square 'new and used sports equipment' , I help plan weddings, and I play hockey and baseball." Michaela said.
" Holy you do a lot." Jim says.
" Yeah I guess I do. But um it's fun I love it."
" Do you have people to help you?"
" My boyfriend helps me with the store when he's not working. I have two good friends that I usually go to these concerts with but they are both working. Well one's working the other is training."
" Who's your boyfriend what does he do?" Melinda asks.
" He's a paramedic, well he's a marine but he's not not on tour right now."
" I think I work with him, Jordan Curtis right?"
" Yeah, that's talks about you Jim. He calls you Jim not so dim."
" Oh yeah, the light in the ambulance turned off and I fixed it so he started calling my that." Jim says laughing " The next song we're going to play is Pain" The lead singer says.
" Ohh I'll be back." Michaela says.
Michaela goes up to the front of the stage and is singing along with them. The lead singer leans over and puls Michaela onto the stage, telling her to sing with them. She got into the rythem with them and finished the song. After 'Pain' was over the whole band gave Michaela a hug and helped Michaela off the stage. Michaela grabbed her phone and saw she had a text from Jordan. It read ' Hey babe I have to stay late tonight. I got signed up to clean the place.' Michaela replied with ' Okay, wake me up when you get home. I met Jim Not So Dim here at the concert.'
" Hey you're a good singer." Adam Gontier the lead singer from three days grace says.
" Thanks, I love you by the way. Well your whole band. Do you mind if I get my picture with you?"
" Sure. I can sign your shirt too."
" Thanks." Michaela takes a few pictures with her cell phone then got Adam to sign her shirt in silver sharpie.
" There. WEll I hope you enjoyed the concert. You know I see you here everytime we play."
" I did enjoy it thank you. I love your band so I always try to make it."
" I enjoy seeing you here."
" Thanks but I really have to go home. I'm sorry."
Michaela got into her blue honda prelude and drove to hers and Jordans house. Michaela had a shower, washed her face, brushed her teeth, pulled her hair back into a bun, and crawled into a bed. Soon enough sleep had engulfed her, lulling her into a deep slumber. Jordan got off work and drove home. He got up the stairs had a shower and got ready for bed. He woke Michaela up when he came in the room.
" Hey Mic, I'm home."
" Hey, how was work?"
" Good, how was the concert?"
" It was good. Adam Gontier signed my shirt and I got a few pictures with him. He pulled me onto the stage and we sung Pain."
" That's awesome babe. I can't believe that in two days it's going to be new years."
" Me neither. what time is it any way?"
" Four thirty."
" When do you work tomorrow?"
" Ten in the morning."
" Meet me for lunch in the square at one?"
" Yeah, where are you working and when?"
" Tomorrow is the store all day. From nine until ten."
" Okay. Well we should go to bed babe."
" M'kay." Michaela says rolling over and then falling asleep.
The next day Michaela woke up at six, she brushed her hair out, straightened it, got dressed,and did her make-up. Michaela put on a black highwaisted bandage skirt, with a magenta coloured leopard print tank top tucked in, and she had on a pair of black double strap ankle flats. She then made toast and scrambled eggs for breakfast. It was seven thirty and Michaela wrote a note for Jordan which read ' hey babe, it's seven thirty and I have to head off for work call me when you're up. Don't forget lunch at the square. '
Michaela left a kiss on the note and got into her car then drove to the store. She opened it up turned on the lights and made sure everything was set to go. Within opening someone came in. It was Jim.
" Hey Jim what are you doing here?"
" I'm heading into work but I saw you open and though I'd stop by. Melinda used to play field hockey and her birthday is coming up and I was wondering if you have ever heard of Rechelle Hawkes?"
" Yeah, I have an old jersey of hers she signed it if you want to look at it."
" Would you?"
" Yeah here let me get it for you." Michaela went to the back of the store to the field hockey section and finally found it after a few minutes and handed it to Jim.
" Thanks, I'll buy it but could you keep it here for a bit?"
" Yeah, hey you're working at ten right?"
" Yeah with Jordan today."
" Okay well tell him not to forget our lunch date and to be safe." Michaela says.
" I will. Thanks again." " No problemm, thank-you."
" Well I better go."
" Oh shoot wait. Jordan forgot this here the other day and he needs it." Michaela hands Jim Jordans wallet.
" I'll make sure he gets it. Hey did you know he has a picture of you two hanging up in our ambulance?"
" Yeah, I gave it to him. It was taken by my best friend Sabrina on Jordans birthday. I gave it to him on our anniversary and told him to keep it somewhere safe, somewhere I rarely was so that when he got lonely he could look at it and know I'm always thinking about him."
" What did you write on the back of it?"
" Oh it says Je t'aime pour toujours Jordan, l'amour de Michaela. French for I love you forever Jordan, love Michaela." Michaela says.
" you guys know French?"
" No that's all I know how to say. Same with Jordan."
" Okay, well i'll give this to him along with your message."
~ New Years Eve ~
Michaela and Jordan were having a new years eve party at their house. Michaela's two best friends Sabrina and Angela were there, Melinda and Jim were there, along with Melinda's friend Deliah and Deliahs son Ned. Michaela was wearing a VILA White Strapless Belted Sundress and her hair was pulled back into a messy bun. Jordan was wearing black pants and a white shirt. Sabrina was wearing a black bandage skirt and yellow tanktop tucked in. Angela was wearing white skinny jeans and a purple dressy tank top.
" Hey, I'm glad you all could make it." Michaela says to Melinda and Jim.
" We're glad to be here. So where's Jordan?" Jim asks.
" Um I think he's in the basement messing with the furnace. He thinks he can fix everything, most of the time he just makes things worse." Michaela says.
" Jim does that too, men think they can do everything." Melinda says.
" MIC! Turn it on!" Jordan yells from the basement.
" Lets see if he did it." Michaela says.
Michaela walked up to the thermostat controlled by the furnace and turned it on. It did nothing, it was only making an annoying buzzing sound. Jordan came up and met up with Michaela at the thermostat.
" Didn't do anything?"
" No just buzzes. I told you just call that guy Sabrina suggested."
" Mic, I can do it."
" Yeah you said that about the shower too, and look how that turned out. You broke it even more! Jord just go get into your good clothes an leave it alone everyone is here now."
" Okay, fine I will. What time is it?"
" It's ten already. Everyone is in the living room. Go upstairs and get dressed." Michaela says.
" Okay, okay. Mic can you go get the wine and boardgames from the basement?"
" Uh yeah what boardgames?"
" The ones we play every New Years."
" Okay."
Michaela went to the basement walked to the far right wall and opened the door leading to the wine cellar. She got out a bottle of wine and then shut the cellar door behind her as she went to get the board games. Michaela grabbed Taboo, and Mad Gab. She began to head upstairs when she got a vision. She was in a cemetary running away from someone or something when she tripped and smacked her head on a gravestone. Michaela must have been screaming because when she came back to her senses there was Jordan, Melinda, and Jim.
" hey are you okay." asks Jordan " Yeah it was just a vision. Sorry."
" Well are you ready to get the party started?" Jim asks.
" Yeah let's go." Michaela says climbing up the stairs.
Soon enough it was starting the count down every one in the room starts shouting ten! nine! eight! seven! six! five! four! three! two! one! HAPPY NEW YEAR! That's when it happened it was exacty 12:00 am a new year and Jordan got down on his knee.
" Michaela Isabella Katrina Gordon, ever since I layed my eyes on you I knew you were the one. We met seven years ago and we've been dating for three, and now I want to ask you one single question. Will you marry me?" Jordan asks.
" Yeah." Michaela says in a voice barley audible.
Jordan slipped the engagment ring, it was a silver ring with pink diamond flower in the centre with small white sapphires around the rest of the ring. Jordan then kissed Michaela everyone said their congrats to Jordan and Michaela and they had their wine. Sabrina then insisted they took pictures of the two fiance's. After an hour everyone had left and Michaela and Jordan were getting ready for bed.
" Mic?"
" Yeah Jor?"
" I love you."
" Je t'aime pour toujours Jordan, l'amour de Michaela." " You ready for bed?"
" Yeah, but I was thinking we should have the wedding in this up coming summer."
" In five months?"
" Yeah June 14th second weekend in June. It'd be on a friday."
" Let's do it. June 14th 2013."
" Mark it on your calender and don't ever forget it babe." Michaela says right before she falls asleep.
