Drops of Jupiter
Train
Simon waited with his brothers and Brittany and Eleanor at the airport. They were all waiting for Jeanette's plane to arrive.
Jeanette had left two years ago to find herself. She said while she loved her family and friends, she said she didn't know who she was. And that she needed to explore who she could be.
Simon never got the chance to tell her he loved her.
But it didn't matter now. A week ago she had called back saying that she was coming home for good.
The five chipmunks waited outside the gate talking about random things when Eleanor's high-pitched cry filled the air.
"JEANETTE!"
All of sudden the chipmunks (minus Simon), had wrapped up Jeanette in a big group hug. After pleasantries were shared, Jeanette turned to face Simon.
"Hi," she whispered. All of sudden, Simon saw the same shy girl he had fallen in love with. Her glasses were still there, she was still a bit ruffled. Her eyes were still big and beautiful.
But she looked happy. Way happier than before the trip.
So Simon gave into his daring side and he scooped her up into his arms and kissed her until Jeanette was blushing so bright she could have lit New York City during a power outage.
"Welcome home," He whispered into her ear.
She hasn't stopped giggling since.
