The Appointment

by elainefr

Jesse and Trent have a conversation. I wrote this and felt the need to put it out there, but man I hate to put it out there. It's not like I don't know that crap happens in real life, but this is supposed to be my getaway...right? Anyway, I hope I don't bum anyone out too much. Maybe no one will even see it but me (well aren't I narcissistic? aren't we all?) Hope you enjoy...

1. Chapter 1

"You know she's in love with you." Jesse Moreno stated to his longtime friend as they watched Daria's car disappear from the Lane driveway.

I'm in love with her too.

"You gonna do anything about it?"

"We're friends Jesse."

"So you'd be okay with her and that guy that's been sniffing' around her?"

"He could be good for her."

"He's not you."

"I won't mess with her life Jesse. She's always had to struggle when it comes to feelings. It's good that she'd willing to let someone in. I want her to be happy."

"She could be happy with you."

"It's not in the cards for us man, so give it a rest."

"Okay," Jesse relented. "I'm gonna head out. See you tomorrow?"

"Doubt it. I promised I would help with some stuff."

"Okay. I'll catch up with you later on then."

"Alright, cool."

Trent shut and locked the door behind Jesse thinking over their conversation. He opened the nightstand by his bed and took out the medicine that he was to take for the evening. He took the steroids with the bottled water beside his bed. He put the bag back and checked the card on his nightstand. It had his appointment set for nine am the next day at the cancer treatment center. He would be starting his treatments then.
