Tess Tyler likes lots of things.
Purple,
Cherry coke,
pop music,
& drama.
But more than anything
in the whole world;
She loves that old T-Shirt.
His old T-Shirt
Because it smells like him &
its his favorite color.
With the name of his
High School Track Team
stamped on the front.
His smell was to say the least
Intoxicating almost; o r g a s m i c;
A little like his shampoo
& a little like his fabric softner.
but mostly like HIM.
How he loved that old T-Shirt
way back when he still loved her
He wore it all the time &
Oh, how it drove Tess Tyler crazy.
Now, she wished she enjoyed it when she could.
But he moved on.
On the outside SO DID SHE.
But then;
He went out & married Mitchie Torres.
& Tess hated the wedding.
It was all beautiful dresses and white roses.
But wait; It gets much better.
That same night Tess hooked up with
yet another member of Connect 3;
none other than Jason Gray.
His brother
Because he looks like him
& plays guitar like him.
Because thats all she really needs
someone like him.
So she stole his innocence and
his heart. Both never to be returned.
Now Tess sits on her bed,
listening to the light snore of the
brown hair guitar player
next to her.
She pulls the old T-Shirt over
her ever growing belly
& inhales his sent before giving in
to the sleep she knows is on the way.
She always wears that old T-Shirt to bed.
Silently reminding Jason he is
her second choice & she only married
him because he reminds her of him.
Her true love
So she crawls in bed next to Jason.
thier unborn child in between them
& she cries her self to sleep.
Because Jason is her best friend.
But she isnt in love with him.
He took responsibility for his actions
when any other man would have
packed up and ran.
& for that she admired him.
Jason took care of her.
He loved her. He massaged her feet
& kissed her when she hurt.
but it only made it worse!
Oh, how she wished she could love Jason.
& all his idiotic lovleyness. But she just couldnt.
Because; even after 5 years she was still
hopelessly head over heels reach for the stars
In love with S h a n e G r a y. Him self
& it was slowly killing her
