Hours later, Jessica was settled in her room when the Guns walked in with dinner. The guys sat down on the bed.
"You okay." Alex asked.
"Yeah." Jessica answered.
Chris moved closer to Jessica and hugged her. It was the first time that day he showed any affection towards her.
"Why do I get the feeling something bad is gonna happen." Alex asked.
"Because something always does." Chris answered.
"Then it usually involves you two." Jessica said.
"True." Alex replied.
"But we do need to talk." Jessica said.
"Jess, don't I know what it's about and it's okay." Chris replied.
"How can you be okay with it?" Jessica asked.
"Because I knew I wasn't good enough for you but it didn't stop us." Chris answered.
"It's still hard." Jessica said.
"I know but there is someone that is good enough." Chris replied.
"If not you, then who." Jessica asked.
"If being at your family gatherings had any clue, they wanted you with AJ." Chris answered.
"But the feud between the fronline and the Mafia broke us up." Jessica said.
"We know that but he still loves you." Alex replied.
"But that's not my only problem." Jessica said.
"What." Chris asked.
"Jeff. He's got feeling for me." Jessica answered.
"Follow what's in your heart." Alex said.
"It's still confusing." Jessica replied.
"Both of us will be here if you need us." Chris said.
Chris hugged her once again before he let her go. Both guys got up and left. James walked in.
"You okay." James asked.
"When have I ever been okay." Jessica answered.
"It was for the best." James said.
"If you say so." Jessica replied.
"You'll find someone before you know it." James said.
"Like who?" Jessica asked.
"AJ. Our family wanted you and AJ together." James answered.
"You know I'm glad to have you as a brother." Jessica said.
"Me too." James replied.
James hugged her. Rober walked in with AJ.
"Are you okay." Robert asked.
"Chris ened it." Jessica answered.
"What did he say?" AJ asked.
"He said he was okay with it because he knew he wasn't good enough for me." Jessica answered.
"Anything else." Robert asked.
"He and Alex agreed that AJ still loves me." Jessica answered.
"Do you still love her." James asked.
AJ looked at Jessica.
"Yes, I still love her." AJ answered.
"Now do something about it." James said.
Robert and James left Jessica's bedroom.
"You still love me." AJ asked.
"Never stopped." Jessica answered.
"So what now?" AJ asked.
"Don't know." Jessica answered.
AJ finally sat down on the bed.
"You don't have to sit so far away." Jessica said.
AJ moved closer to her and hugged her. It felt like it used too. AJ felt it too.
"This feels right." AJ said.
"Yeah it does, but can you hold me like you used too." Jessica replied.
AJ stopped hugging her and let her go. He moved so he could sit behind her and then wrapped his arms around her once again.
"So you gonna stay all night." Jessica asked.
"Depends on you." AJ answered.
"Meaning." Jessica said.
"Jess, will you be my girlfriend." AJ asked.
"Yes." Jessica answered.
AJ turned her around and kissed her. They both knew it was right. When the kiss ended, AJ continued to hold her.
"No matter what happens, nothing comes between us." AJ said.
Jessica agreed and got comfortable and soon fell asleep.
