a/n I hope this redeems me!! R.I.P MJ, he has the same initials as Mollie :) I wish his family and friends the best.
Shock Confessions
I was back, yet again, at the Impact Zone. This time only because Brittany begged me to come here. She better have one hell of a reason for calling me here. I walked around, this time not trying to hide, and found the locker room she shared with the guys.
"ITS KENNY!"
"Jesus Jess, you're gonna give me a heart attack!" I exclaimed as she pulled me into a hug,
"Ha, what ever you say Mollie," I shook my head and left the room because Brittany was nowhere to be seen. It didn't take long for my phone to vibrate,
From; Brittany
Meet me at our entrance.
Were the simple words. I nodded to myself and walked through the small passage that led to an entrance/exit that only myself and Brittany knew about… possibly my dad, but I'd never asked him. I opened the door and smiled seeing the dark curly hair of my best friend,
"You really are your fathers child, you know that?" I asked her because her hair reminded me of Mick's wild untamed hair,
"I'm not sure if that's such a compliment at the moment, Moll."
"So what?" I asked back rhetorically, "What was so urgent that you made me come all the way from Tennessee in the middle of the night?"
"You know I love you right?"
"You fucked Alex again?" I concluded within mere seconds,
"No! I wouldn't do that to you!"
"Okay. I know. Oh, when your done, I need to tell you something too," I decided to tell her what Alex had said, and my reaction to it,
"Okay. Sure. What would you say if I were to get married?"
"I better be the maid of honour?" I answered not really sure how to reply,
"Okay. Be my maid of honour?"
"What?" I asked not understanding where she was coming from,
"Eric proposed! I'm getting married!"
"OH MY GOD!!! BRITT!!!!! AH!!!!!!!!! YOU'RE SO LUCKY!!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as we span in circles, hugging each other. "I'm gonna be in a wedding!" I bragged to her,
"I am the wedding!" she bragged back and I pouted and scowled,
"Way to ruin my moment!" she laughed and hugged me tighter.
"What did you have to say?"
"Nothing compared to your announcement," I decided it was best to leave it. I didn't want to ruin the happiness.
Planning already?!
I just sat back and shook my head at the scene in front of me. Brittany was already trying to get this wedding underway,
"When do you wanna get married?"
"January,"
"It's already August… it's a bit soon…" I tried to coax her out of it, for EY's sake,
"Nonsense! We can do it! We're going to do it together Mollie!" oh, great, she's dragging me into it… oh, wait, I am the maid of honour, I have to help, oh goodie!
"Great," I replied sarcastically. I want to be nice, I really do. Its just, I'm still thinking about what Alex said. I shouldn't have reacted that way. Especially because I might feel that way back! Its not fair on him… no, hold on. Its not fair on me! He can go home to someone and she can make him feel better, I know she's a bitch, but that's still the truth… unfortunately. Where as, I had no one. Except my stupid sisters, who are probably ripping each others throats out as we speak. Before I knew what was happening, Brittany had pulled me into the guest room,
"Tell me what's up with you! You've been distant since I said I was marrying EY!" then her face fell, "You're not like… in love with him or something… are you?"
"No! Britt! How could you say that? I don't love EY!"
"Tell me what's wrong then!"
"Last week… when I was sneaking around… Then slapped Danielle… well just before I left… well…"
"Well… what?"
"Alex… sorta told me he still loved me Britt!"
"Oh! YAY!"
"Who's side are you on?!" I asked shocked,
"Yours. Yours. Of course! But… we all knew it, she were just waiting for him to say it… what did you do?"
"I got in my car and drove to the airport,"
"Mollie Kendal Jarrett! Are you INSANE?!" she asked loudly, and I think that everyone in the house was now wondering what was happening, "You do not drive off on someone when they tell you they love you!"
"Britt, you don't get it! You're not in my situation!"
"I may not be Mollie. But get this, that same night, Alex and Danielle got into a major fight… and he broke it off. They're over! You don't have anything to be worried about anymore!" she said happily. Her face beaming. Who knows why she was so happy about that,
"I need to go to bed," I said abruptly. I was walking away from everything that was hurting me at the moment, I should fix that I suppose,
"Your room's still there." she said and moved out of my way. I walked into the room that I had occupied most of my time in TNA. I walked over to the bedside table and opened the middle draw. I searched through to the bottom of all the paper in it. When I reached the bottom and noticed what I was looking for wasn't there, I almost flipped a lid. I pulled everything out, when I still couldn't find it, I pulled out the other two draws and it was in the bottom draw… not where I had left it. I pulled out a picture of myself and Alex, taken on our first date, a restaurant on the beach. It was taken around 4 years ago, when I didn't hate him. Right next to it was a piece of tin foil I had received to years ago, it was in the same shape as a ring and I remember the exact words he said when he gave it to me,
"I know its lame… but still… hear me out. I want you to keep this. It means I'll always love you,"
"Alex, it's a piece of tin foil!"
"Yeah, but it's a ring. And its personalised. Just take it please, it just means that I'll always love you… and if you take it, it means you'll always love me." I smiled and took gave him my hand, letting him slip the make pretend ring on my finger before putting my lips on his for the romantic kiss I've ever had.
All I remember next is falling asleep.
Reminiscing featuring Eric Young
I walked into Barbie's room and noticed the mess on her bed. Then her sleeping figure underneath it. I walked closer to her and noticed she was hugging a picture close to her body, the mess on the bed could only mean it was that of her and Alex on their first date. Brittany had cleaned up, and regardless of me telling her it belonged in the second drawer, she placed it and the ring in the bottom draw. I walked closer and as I reached her bed I removed the clutter and placed it on the floor for the time being. I went to pull a sheet over her when I saw her finger sparkle in the moon light, that glittered through the window, and realised she was wearing the 'promise' ring. I smiled inwardly covering her with the sheet, before I made my way to close her curtain.
"Good night Barbie," I swear I heard her mutter a sleepy 'night Ken' but maybe my ears were tricking me. I walked out into the living area and walked up to my fiancée, "She's sleeping," I whispered in her ear as I wrapped my arms around her from behind. "She ruined her room trying to the picture. You put it in the wrong draw,"
"She still found it. I don't know why she won't just admit she still loves him,"
"She fell asleep with the picture in her arms and ring around her finger,"
"She does that a lot," Brittany smiled and turned in my arms. "She needs to get over it."
"Tell me about it." Alex added. Yes he was here, only because he came to see Jeremy.
I miss you back with M.J
When I awoke the next morning, I felt hot and realised the sheet was over me. I was wearing three quarter kaki pants and a wife beater, the clothes I had worn yesterday, and I was hot. My finger itched and I looked down at it and began to cry. I then noticed the broken picture frame underneath my body, which made me cry even more. Alex had picked out the frame, it was the prettiest thing I had ever seen in my life.
"Breakfast sis," Brittany poked her head into my room. She noticed my tears and ran over and wrapped her arms around me. I showed her the broken glass and she held me tighter, "We'll get a new one," she promised,
"But Alex chose this one," I cried.
"I'll see if he has another one," she squeezed me, "I'll go get you some breakfast. You can spend as long as you want in bed," she assured me as she exited the room. I scrambled to pick up my phone, I scrolled through to Alex's number, what would have appeared on his phone would have been,
From; unknown number
I miss you. More than you'll ever know. I didn't want to leave. I still love you too.
I had changed my number, and only hoped he could guess who had sent it. I actually managed to get up the guts. It was a text message, but still, it was something. By coincidence, someone's phone went off outside my room. I rolled back over to face the light that was entering my room via the gaps in the curtains. I heard the door creak as it opened and I think Britt assumed I was asleep because I wasn't facing her and I tried to make my breathing look even. When she came over and kissed the side of my head, I realised it wasn't her. It wasn't even a female kiss. It was Alex's. As soon as I heard the door close I began to cry again.
"I miss you," I muttered.
