The next morning, just as they had promised Jen and Cali came back to the hospital to take Jesse home. After a few minutes of waiting in the lobby, Jesse finally appeared out of the elevator with Stacey by his side. She wheeled him over to the front desk where Cali and Jen were waiting.

"Well here he is!" Stacey said cheerfully.

"You can let go now, I can walk ya know!" Jesse said rudely as he stepped out of his wheel chair. Stacey rolled her eyes.

"Well, Dr. Anderson says that he shouldn't strain himself too much over the next couple weeks, and to keep his shoulder iced, if it starts bothering him again he can reach her at this number…" she began as she handed Cali Dr.Anderson's business card.

"Thank you for taking such good care of him, I hope he wasn't too much trouble…" Cali said humbly.

"Oh it was no problem, he was well…um….I hope he has a speedy recovery, we wouldn't want to have to see him back here anytime soon." She said snidely.

"What was that Tracy?" Jesse shouted.

"It's Stacey!" she snapped.

"Whatever your name is, I'm going home now, Bu-bye!" Jesse said as he turned his back and walked out the door. Jen ran out after him while Cali stayed behind and settled things with Stacey.

Jen and Jesse walked outside the building. "I don't even know how to respond to that Jess." Jen said shaking her head.

"Then don't…" Jesse said as he took Jen in his arms and kissed her once again. After a few seconds, Jen pulled away.

"Woah there tiger, I didn't think you were this happy to see me…" Jen said blushing.

"…of course…I had to spend all yesterday without you…" Jesse said smiling.

"It was only a day, Jess…" she replied.

"That's a long time…" he said as he placed his arm around her waist.

"Let's go home already I'm starving! Hospital food will kill you faster then any injury you go in there with." Jesse said sarcastically. Jen laughed.

"You've got a point, but um when we get home can we talk?" Jen asked seriously.

"Yea, sure what's up? Are you okay?" Jesse asked worriedly.

"Yea I'm fine, I just wanna talk…" she said assuredly. Jesse was a bit confused as to what she was so anxious to talk about but right now all that mattered was that they were back together.

Not to long afterwards Cali came outside and got into the car. She pulled out of the hospital parking lot and started home. She sighed loudly and shook her head as she pulled up to a stoplight.

"Well Jesse I don't think you could have behaved any worse! That woman back there was pretty upset." Cali said disappointedly.

"Yea…I know…if you want I can call and apologize…" Jesse said feeling somewhat guilty about his behavior the night before. 'That's alright, I already did it for you." She replied.

"Thanks I owe you one Cal." He said while looking directly at her through the rear view mirror. She looked up at him and winked.

"Alright, I'll be sure to remember that." Cali said as she continued down the highway.

When they got home Cali took Jesse's things over to Tanner's house while Jen and Jesse went for a walk on the beach. A cool morning breeze blew down the Oceanside as Jen and Jesse walked hand and hand down the shore.

"It's beautiful out here this morning huh?" Jesse said as he gazed over the horizon.

"Yea…and you had me wondering if I was ever going to get to show you one of these sunrises again…I was really worried about you Jess.. …" Jen said quietly while watching the white capped waves break on the shore. Jesse stepped behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"… I really didn't mean to make you worry like that…and I'm sorry…I just don't wanna lose you…"Jesse said as he leaned in and kissed her hair.

"…I know and I promise you won't…but Jesse I've been meaning to ask you about something…" she began. Jesse became increasingly uncomfortable with the serious tone in her voice.

"…yea what did you wanna talk about?" he asked nervously.

"…your friends…back home…you mentioned them yesterday…and I…" Jen stopped herself not wanting to seem intrusive.

"…you don't need to worry about them…Its nothing…" he replied coldly as he stepped away from her and shoved his hands in his pockets.

"But…you…were really upset …" Jesse cut her off.

"Just drop it alright? It doesn't matter…" he snapped. Jen was startled by his sudden change in attitude, which was now no different then the one he'd had at the boardwalk. She looked into his eyes, and tried to find the warmth that had been there just a few moments before, but his stare remained cold and distant.

"Stop…" she said quietly.

Jesse's focus broke away from the ocean, and shifted over to her.

"…you're doing it again…you're pushing me out Jess…why won't you let me come close to you? I don't understand…"Jesse was silent. "Why you won't let me know you…?" she asked pleadingly. Jesse looked away from her.

"…because you won't like what you see…" he said quietly.

"What are you talking about?" she asked confused.

"…nothing…" he answered, shutting her out yet another time.

"Fine…just forget it...I'm gunna go, Cali will probably be wondering were I am…enjoy your sunrise…"she said harshly as she walked away from Jesse and headed up the beach. Jesse buried his face in his hands and sighed.

"…I can't tell her yet…I don't know how…" he said as he lifted his head up and watched the sun appear just above the ocean.

After having spent the morning on the beach, Jesse walked back to his house a few hours later for lunch. He walked inside to find Tanner sitting on the kitchen table looking threw a stack of Chinese Take-Out menu's.

"Hey Jess! Ya hungry? I'm kinda in the mood for Chinese how about you?" Tanner asked as he searched for the telephone number of his favorite restaurant.

"No, I'm alright…" Jesse said as he collapsed down on the living room couch.

"You sure? You look like you could use some Sushi! We can do Japanese if you want." He said.

"No its ok I'm not really feeling 100 yet…I kinda just wanna chill out on the couch for a while." Jesse said as he picked up the remote and began flipping through all 850 channels on his TV.

"That's fine, you're supposed to be taking it easy anyways. How's your shoulder feeling? You want me to get you some ice for it?" Tanner said as he got up and headed over to the freezer.

"Yea, thanks man…" Jesse said tiredly. Tanner brought over his bag of ice.

"Oh right I forgot to give you this, Jen stopped by earlier and left it for you. Looks like a love letter to me." Tanner said teasingly.

"Shut up and give me that." Jesse said snatching the envelope away from his brother.

"I'm going upstairs, wake me up when the sushi gets here." Jesse said while placing the small letter in his pocket and heading up the stairs.

Once he reached his room he sat down on his bed and opened the letter that Jen had given him. He started reading.

"…Jesse, I don't really know what's been on your mind lately but I wanted to tell you that I really care about you, and I want to know you and be there for you whenever you need me so if you want to talk later I'm all ears…get well soon...Jen…" Jesse's heart skipped a beat as he read the letter from her, and that's when he made his decision. Tonight was going to be all about her, starting with a box of chocolates, and a dozen roses.
