Chapter 25: An Ending
Julie lay next to Jimmy her legs wrapped into his, her arms around his neck. Her body was tightening as he kissed her. He rolled her under him. She whimpered, as he moved his hand to her jeans.
"Mm," She pulled away, "No, let's just kiss a while," She kissed him. He ran another hand up to her breast, she guided it down.
"Damnit Julie," He sighed and rolled off of her. She looked at him. "I'm sorry, it's just this feels remarkably like two years ago."
"Because I don't feel like having you grope me tonight?" She looked at him.
"Because you've barely let me touch you since you got back from Maine," He rolled onto his side, and brushed her hair out of her face. "What's going on?"
"I'm spending Thanksgiving in California," She said. He nodded. "I haven't heard this from Jaime yet, mind you, I haven't talked to Jaime in a month. I had a very nice conversation with Gail, her twenty two year old assistant, about whether we thought it was right for Dawson and Joey to break up and if Luke Perry being back on 90210 was cool." He looked at her. "She thinks it's not going to make up for losing Jason Priestly, I agree." He kissed her. "I should have said no, Jimmy," She whispered, "I should have said I wanted to spend it with my dad and with Mikey and Elyse." She started to cry, "I should have thrown a fit and said I wanted to stay here and be with you and Tammy. I should have done anything but say I would go. She's not there anymore, she has Josh now, and they have their life. They're probably going to get married, maybe she'll have another baby, and,"
"Shh," He whispered and hugged her. "Don't cry baby. Don't worry."
"This is why I never wanted to let her in again," She whispered, "I knew that she'd leave me again." He kissed her gently, "No," She whispered.
"What?" He whispered.
"Not softly," She mumbled and kissed him, she curled her hands into fists at his neck, he kissed her harder this time, rolling her onto her back.
"I love you," He whispered. She looked at him.
"Don't leave me," She said, he kissed her again.
"Never," He shook his head and kissed her. "I promise, I'm here, OK? No matter what, your parents, Tammy, the Ducks, Steve, no matter what changes, I am here, for you, I love you. OK?"
"Don't worry baby," She smiled. He laughed.
"Everything will turn out alright," He kissed her forehead. "We picked a good one."
"Yeah," She laughed. "Jimmy."
"We can slow down," He said, "Like we said we would." She smiled.
"I don't want that," She said, "I don't, I just wanted to be able to kiss you tonight." He laughed.
"You can stay here and kiss me all night if you want," He smiled. "I'm on the plane to California with you if you want me there."
"No," She shook her head. "No, I don't," He brushed her hair out of her face, "Kelly needs you," He nodded, "Although, Rick's here right?"
"Yeah," He smiled. "Did Cassie show you the ultrasound?"
"Mm hm," Julie nodded. "Ultrasounds make babies look like aliens." He laughed, "I'm serious, I thought Mikey was a Martian until I held him."
"You thought your step mom was pregnant with a Martian?" He raised his eyebrows. She nodded. "You are a freak of a girl."
"And you're in love with me," She kissed him on the nose.
Rick lay on his old bed staring at the ceiling. Had it really only been a few years since he'd sat here with Scooter and Cole and Cassie and they'd all gotten so high that they thought it was a good idea to fly to New York and check into The Plaza for the night?
"Hey Daddy," He looked up and saw Allie standing in the doorway. "You hiding from Grandapa?"
"Hello, Allison," He sat up, "There are lots of freshmen down there. Care to fuck some?"
"Oof," She said, "Yeah, it's been three years and you're married to my best friend so clearly my cheating on you really screwed up your life plan."
"What do you want?" He asked flopping back down.
"Cassie's drowning," Allie said. He looked at her. "She's scared out of her mind, and she doesn't know how to tell you."
"What do you know about it?" He asked.
"I know when we were sixteen and you and Scooter were still putting whoopee cushions on teachers' chairs, she was holding my hand at the women's clinic," She shrugged. He looked down. "I assume she's told you about that."
"That kid from Blake," He whispered, "He took you to their prom." She nodded. "Did she really think about it?" Allie nodded.
"She was going to tell you she lost it," She whispered. He sighed. "And then she was going to call her dealer."
"Shit," He mumbled, she sat down at the foot of the bed. "You're like Kelly."
"I'm nothing like you're sister," She laughed.
"No, I mean about me and Cass," He said, "Kelly smiles, and says she's happy for us when people ask her. But she's not happy about this, she thinks that we're being idiotic and why couldn't we wait six years." Allie looked at him. "You agree with her."
"I know you love Cassie," She said, "I know that, but if this doesn't work, there's going to be a baby."
"I'm aware of that," He said.
"There's going to be a crib in my condo," Allie looked at him, "If you're ever wondering where your wife and child disappeared to, chances are they're in Miami." She stood up and walked out. "And Rick?" She turned around, "I do want it to work, I want you both to be happy."
"I know," He whispered. "And Allie," She looked at him, "We all would have held your hand, if you'd asked." She smiled and nodded.
"Hi," Connie said standing in Guy's doorway.
"Hey," He smiled, "It's the middle of the night."
"Where's Luis?" She looked around.
"He's with Olivia," He said, "Come in." She walked in and sat down on his bed. "So, um, it's not me, it's you?"
"Guy," She sighed.
"Six years Cons," He said, "You've gotta give me something."
"I love you," She shrugged. "I'm always going to." He kissed her. "But I have to know what else is out there. You've been everything to me since we were eight." She looked down. "I'm sorry."
"I'm not giving you up," He whispered.
"Guy," She shook her head.
"No," He smiled, "I love you Connie, and you can see other people, you can check everything else out. But I know we belong together, so I'm not going to do either of those things."
"Guy," She whispered. "Maybe you should," She looked away, "I mean, there were always things that you wanted that I,"
"You think I should go have sex with someone else?" He said. She shrugged. "Connie, I don't just want to have sex, I want you." She sighed. "Is it Charlie?"
"Not just Charlie," She said, "Although, that's there, and I don't know when it started, or what he feels, so, it's not really," She sniffed, "It's not a factor Guy."
"This is what you want?" He said. She nodded.
"Guy," She whispered as he kissed her. "If I were to, I mean," She sighed, "If I told Charlie, what I've been thinking."
"I wouldn't make it a thing," He whispered. "I'd be good."
"Yeah," She whispered. "You've always been so good." They kissed each other.
"I had a good person to teach me," He smiled, "Your parents named you right Constance, always constant." She laughed. "I love you."
"I love you too," She said, "That's why it took me so long to do this."
Charlie lay on his bed and stared at the ceiling. She'd been right to do it, absolutely right. But it still hurt, like a part of him was missing. It made it harder to deal with the cold logical feeling that Linda wasn't going to be a part of his life anymore.
"Hi," He turned to the whispering voice in the doorway.
"Connie?" He said confused.
"Yeah," She said, "Can I come in?"
"Sure," He sat up.
"Um," She stepped in, "You're in early."
"Linda and I broke up," He shrugged, "It seemed a little inappropriate to go to the Rileys when I'm not her boyfriend."
"I'm sorry," She said and looked down. He looked at her.
"You ended it didn't you?" He asked. She nodded. "Are you OK?"
"Yeah," She whispered suddenly feeling dizzy, like her balance was gone, she landed on Fulton's bed. "No," She shook her head, "I mean it was the right thing to do, but I, it's like,"
"Like a part of you is missing," He whispered and moved over. She nodded.
"Exactly," She swallowed and looked at him. She leaned across the space between them and kissed him.
"Connie," He sighed and pulled back, "I can't. I mean, I don't,"
"Right," She stood up and ran out wiping her eyes.
