Jane

I've been even more depressed since Billy flipped out on me about my 'crush', but little did he know the crush was him. Eli has been great through all of this though. He's always been there to comfort me when I need it, which as been alot recently. Zoe has been trying to talk to me, but I've been avoiding her. I don't want her to see me like this. I've been avoiding Billy too, I don't know what to say to him. It seems like he's more mad at me for 'crushing' on Eli rather than being concerned on what I'm so upset about. I just really don't care anymore.

Today was just another day of Jane world. Where I was in 'my own little world' as my teacher's and co-worker's put it, that is except when I got a phone call. From Jeremy. I'd had absoultely no idea why he'd called. I hadn't even heard from him since London. I've decided to jot the conversation down.

"Jeremy?" I'd asked in confusion. Why would he be calling? And, why now of all times?

"Jane! It's so nice to hear your voice!" the tone in his voice was estatic.

"Jeremy...it's been awhile." I didn't really know what to say.

"I know! I've been so busy!"

"You have? What have you been up to? If you don't mind my asking." I added a slight laugh at the end.

"That's actually what I wanted to talk to you about..."

"Really? What about?"

"Jane...I'm starting my own clothing line." he'd let out the breath he'd been holding in.

"That's great! I'm so happy for you!" And, I actually was. It probably was the happiest thing I've heard in a week. Jeremy getting his own clothing line...wow, that was so...awesome! I knew it would turn out a huge success.

"Jane...I want you to work for me." Eight words that chilled me to the bone. Work for him? How could I? What about Donovan Decker?

"Jane? What do you say? You and me? Working together." his voice was just so happy...how could I tell him no? But, what if I didn't want to say no?

"Jeremy...I..." Those are the only words I can stutter at the moment. How could he ask me that? I had an amazing job at Donovan Decker. How could I just quit and go work for him?

"Jane? Pleaseeeeeeeee?" he pleaded to me, sounding like a whiny little kid. What would I say? How could I turn him down? But, how could I not turn him down? His offer was definitely intriguing...

"Jeremy...I don't know..."

"Look Jane if this is about you not thinking your ready or you don't wanna work full-time it's okay. Your more than ready. You don't even have to work full-time, you can just work part-time if you want. Just please, I really want you to help me start out. And, it's going to be in New York, no worry about moving!" I couldn't say no...yet I couldn't say yes either. This was all just too much to take in.

"Jeremy...I...I...need time." I whispered. I couldn't handle this. It was all to much. With everything going on with Billy, and now Jeremy offering me a job...I just couldn't. I could hear the disappointment in his voice as he replied,

"Okay, I get it. You're still working for Donovan Decker. You don't have to give me an answer now. I'll give you some time, two weeks." And, with that he'd hung up before I could even mutter a single word. Two weeks? Two weeks?! Two weeks was not enough time! How could I decide something this huge in only a short amount of time? It just wasn't possible. I think it's time to talk to talk to Billy...

Love, Janey
