A.N: Okay I'm so sorry I took so long but I'm on vacation in Toronto going around America so I never had so much time to write and update. This chapter is also great. I love it. It twists the story and is very unpredictable. I hope you like it.
Scorpiongurl324: Welcome to Fanfiction Scorp. It is an amazing website. I just started it a few months ago. I was trying to figure out what Rob was on probation for and I found this website. LOL. Don't put yourself down, if you begin writing you will keep coming up with ideas. I assure you that. Start with something easy like a book that is a copy of the real one but with minor differences but be sure to disclaim it otherwise you will get in bug trouble. Tell you friends and yourself that maybe it is your creative side that works because I think it was very creative of you to come up with such a funny reason to your non-creativeness. Good luck on your writing and if you start a story, be sure to tell me so that I can be your first reviewer. When I started writing I didn't get review for the first two three chapters but I kept it going. It gets a little sad but when you overcome it, it's a lot of fun.
Musica101: Ooh…the I…I…part was my favorite too. I hope you would like it. It was getting too intense so I put that in. Now tell me what book did you get for the library. I love books PLUS library's. Thanks for reviewing.
Tia.Maria.K: Thank you so much. When I read your review I couldn't stop smiling because in my other new story, CAROLINE HIGH, many people have made critical review which I like but sometimes I like to get good ones too. But keep the critics rolling please.
PS: Hope you got the dishes done. If not, I know it has bad consequences. [wink
Kittygurl00-HorseMystique: I wanted to do something more serious but it sort of ended up that way. Most of my story is unplanned. I don't know if that is good or bad. Thanks for reviewing. You are my favorite reviewer and will always be. Please read my other story CAROLINE HIGH. I really want to know what you think of it. Your opinion means a lot to me.
xXx-dee-xXx: Oh god! Iwould never make Jess do that. But it's a good idea for Aurora…KIDDING. Thanks for reviewing. This chapter's for you.
This chapter is dedicated to xXx-dee-xXx and Scorpiangurl324.
I GOT 4 REVIEWS FOR CHAPTER 8. THANK YOU GUYS!
Jess's POV
After Rob had played his little joke on me, he got back on his bike still mocking me. He did not cool down until I swapped him on the head a couple of times and even then his face was still red – not with embarrassment but with amusement.
I guess it was funny – just a little – but it did not mean that he could keep on going on about it. I smiled a little and then relaxed as I let the wind whip my face as Rob followed my directions. Rob's hair glistened in the sun as he rode the bike and I could still feel him shaking slightly as he laughed at his joke. I rolled my eyes and tapped Rob on his shoulders signaling him to stop. He slowed down and began pulling over.
"Um, Mastriani?" Rob shouted over the roar of his bike.
"Yeah?" I asked him.
"Why did we stop here?" He asked me getting off his bike and turning around to face me.
I shrugged and said, "Well, I'm hungry. It's way past lunchtime." I looked at Rob for a minute linking my gaze on his and I swear I felt a spark. I could even swear that the look in his eyes was full of longing.
"Whatever." Rob said breaking eye contact. He took the helmet from my hand and began putting it away. I gave Rob one more look and then turned away sighing. Rob still took my breath away these many years later. It was hard to believe that after all that Rob had done to me; I had begun to forgive him and slowly love him again.
Rob and I went into the café that I made him stop at. I sent Rob to get me a hamburger and fries while I went and found us a table. It was pretty crowded at the café and I had to wait a while before I got a table for two. Just as I was waiting for this old couple to finish eating I felt as if someone was watching me. I turned around suddenly and saw Rob waving at me. He pointed to the coke and the beer. I pointed to the coke and then just as I was about to turn back I saw an old grungy man staring at me. Even when I began to stare back at him he didn't budge.
I began to have a very bad feeling and my feet became suddenly cold. In spite of that I found my feet taking gradual steps towards the man. He was standing a few feet away from Rob, right in the corner of the café. He was hidden by the shadows but was visible enough to me. He was wearing old cowboy pants and a torn shirt. He had a cowboy hat on his head and was leaning against the bathroom door.
Just as I got closer to him I felt a sudden urge to run away but my feet seemed to have a mind of its own. Even when I was standing a foot away from him he didn't flinch. I raised my hand and place it on his shoulder when he fell on top of me. I screamed causing Rob to turn around and yell my name.
The man fell on top of me causing me to fall on the floor. He was lying on top of me and I was screaming my head off when Rob came to my side and pushed the man off of me.
I still continued screaming and quickly got on my feet and was getting ready to punch the guy in his face when I saw the man's back. He had a knife sticking out of the centre of his back. I gasped my hand moving to my mouth. I felt Rob's strong hand wrap around me.
Tears in my eyes began to blur my vision. I turned away and buried my face in Rob's shoulders. I heard people yell, "Call 911!" and people say, "Christ!" I began to feel nauseous and everything began going black. I heard Rob saying my name and then I remembered no more.
Rob's POV
I took a sludge of beer and buried my face in my hands. I couldn't get the image of the man out of my head. According to the police his name was Brendan McEwen leader of The Stars. He had been missing for weeks and people believed that he was dead because his car was found smashed and so was his locket which he always wore.
I heard a knock at the door and hid the bottle my beer behind my back when Dr. Bernard came into the room. I stood up. "She is absolutely okay except she seemed to have gone into shock after her…ahem…incident." Dr. Bernard explained going over the clipboard which he held in his hands.
"So can I take her home now? Her parents don't actually know what happened." I asked the doctor.
Dr. Bernard nodded and said, "Yes, you can take her home but I would like you to wait until she gains conscious."
I nodded and the doctor left. I retrieved my bottle of beer and took another sludge. I stared at Jess's unconscious body and couldn't help noticing how Jess's lips seemed to curve upward into an irresistible smile and how her eyelashes curled. I remembered the way Jess stared at me earlier outside the café. I couldn't seem to look back at her, that time. Her eyes had looked searchingly in mine. I was afraid to disappoint her again. Jess had begun to trust me again and I didn't want to break her trust: to do that I had to hide my feeling from Jess.
Those feelings that had begun to form in my head. I had begun to find myself staring at Jess when she was not looking at me and admire how her hand went up to her waist when she was cooking up a plan.
Just as I was thinking about all of this Jess moaned and turned over in her bed. She turned away from me and he hand flew up to her head. Jess groaned again.
I got up and went over to the other side of the bed. Jess blinked her eyes open once and then closed them again. I began to head back to the couch when Jess suddenly bolted upright in her bed and scurried toward the door. I managed to catch her before she ran out of the door. She kept on struggling in my arms trying to get away.
"Jess!" I said to Jess trying to get her to stop struggling. Jess still continued to fight against me.
"Mastriani!" I said once more shaking her. Jess stopped struggling and faced me. Her eyes were red and puffy. Her face was tear-stained with a strand of hair sticking to her forehead. She looked so miserable and exhausted. She had bags under her eyes and to believe that it happened over a span of three hours.
"Rob!" Jess gasped. Then she buried her head in my shoulders and burst into tears. I was completely unprepared for that. I didn't know what to do so all I did was pat her on her back awkwardly.
"Hey there. It's okay." I said softly into Jess's ears. I stroked her hair softly waiting for her to stop crying. I felt funny standing there patting a crying Jess because Jess practically never cried. I had never seen Jess cry and now I was seeing her cry on a regular basis. It was exhilarating.
"I…I…Rob! I…I…" Jess stammered. She grabbed the front of my shirt. I looked at her worriedly.
"What? What is it?" I asked her pulling her toward the couch and seating her on it. I sat down in front of her and held her hand.
Jess took a few breaths and calmed down. Then she opened her mouth to say something but gasped instead. She was staring past me with wide eyes and an open mouth. I turned around to see what Jess was staring at but I saw nothing.
Jess got up off the couch and ran toward the door again. This time I was not able to catch her. Barefoot, she paddled through the hospital and stepped into the room in which Brendan's body was. She went and ran her fingers over his face. She traced his lips. The nurses there were shocked and did not know what to do so all they did was stare at her. Jess continued to stare at Brendan's body. She leaned down and looked as if she was about to kiss him when I pulled her back. I looked into Jess's face. She looked grave.
Then she suddenly spun around and headed out of the room. As soon as she got back to her own room I asked her, "Mastriani, what the hell is going on here?"
Jess looked at me straight in the eye and said, "Brendan is dead."
I gaped at her. How did she know that he was Brendan? "Yes, I know but –" I began to say.
"He is my boyfriend's father." Jess said cutting me off.
A.N: Wasn't that nice. Ooh…now Rob will get it. I never meant for Jess to have a boyfriend but it just popped into my head and I thought it would be more interesting his way.
The next chapter is very important and you all have to read it. It is when Jess reveal what Rob did to her to make her leave him. So watch out. It'll have loads of arguments in it.
REVIEW PLEASE!!!
