Hey guys I said I wasn't sure if I was adding another chapter but I decided I would I hope you like it.
Tyler looked over at Jessica *Damn she looks great even in her pajamas. I wonder what Val would look like- hey stop it you like Jessica not Val remember*
"What's wrong Tyler?" Jessica asks seriously concerned
"No- nothing. You want to go out with me tomorrow?"
After what seems forever Jessica answers "No."
Shocked Tyler says "But I thought you liked me. When we were in the hospital and -"
"In the hospital you remember when my Dad came in with that gun pointed at us?"
"Yea" Tyler answers confused
"Do you remember what happened when the shot rang out?"
"Yea everyone ducked down for cover"
"Think harder who was with who?"
"Well Jamie grabbed Caitie and you and brought you two down with him. Hank had his arm around you too…..Alex pushed your mom down and-" Tyler stops
"And you grabbed Val and covered her. I know you like her and for me to get in the way of that isn't right. But I still want to be friends."
"But I do like you - a lot" Tyler protests
"Still what you and Val have….you two just both need to admit to it."
"But-"
"You should go. I don't want anyone to say anything they will regret and I don't want to do anything I might regret so you should leave now."
"Ok" Tyler says getting up "But"
"Tyler! Please go"
Tyler goes over to the door and opens it "But what about that kiss"
Jessica shrugs "Like I said I don't want to do anything I may regret and well to do that again it isn't"
"Fair" Tyler supplies
"Your right it isn't fair - to Val. Good night Tyler"
She shuts the door after he walks out, and turns to see Jamie and Caitie standing there.
"What?"
"Nothing we were just passing by" Jamie answers
"Ok then night" Jessica moves past them
"Wait, what you did for Val. Well that was great not your average person would do that" Caitie tells her
"Yea well I've already proven I'm not the average person. If you know what I mean"
Jessica walks past them and goes to her room.
A few hours later.
"Jess…." The soft knock comes to the door. "Jessica I know your awake"
Jessica ignores Jamie and continues to stare at the ceiling.
The door opens. Jamie walks in. it is pitch black in there and he can barely make out Jessica's figure laying on her bed.
"Jessica come on I know your up"
No answer
*Why doesn't he go away. I don't want to talk. I don't want to do anything, maybe just lie here in the dark forever. I am such a screw up I -*
"Jessica!" Jamie says louder as he sits on her bed. "What's up with you?"
*He's never going to go away until I talk to him* She thinks to herself
"What do you want Jamie?"
"I want to know what's wrong with you."
"Nothing" She answers and rolls over so she faces the wall.
"Fine" He says grabbing a pillow "I'll wait. Cause I know something is wrong, even Caitie noticed"
"I already told you know" Jessica squeezes her eyes shut so the tears won't come. *Come on Waite be strong. Never show your weaknesses. DAMN IT! He is still in my head everything he has told me, just go away* She pleads in her head
Jamie listens quietly to the sounds of nothingness but that is soon replaced with soft crying.
"Jess, Jess come on talk to me"
No answer.
After a while Jessica falls asleep (she cried herself to sleep) so Jamie gets a blanket and covers her and then sleeps on her chair (I'm talking a recliner) for the night in case she needs him. (sweet brother I know)
Next day at school.
"Hey Jamie, hey Jessica" Caitie greets them.
"Hi guys" Hank says
"Hi Hank , hi Caitie. Anything new today yet?"
Jessica seems unaware of everyone around just goes to her locker and opens it up.
"Whoa. What's wrong with her" Hank asks
"I wouldn't know she wont talk to me" Jamie answers
"Yea she's been like that since last night when she made Tyler leave. You know Hank what I was telling you about before." Caitie says
"Oh right. Hey maybe she's want to talk to me."
"Be my guest." Jamie gestures with a sweeping motion
"Hey Jessica"
"Hi" She replies without looking up
"So what's up? Anything new?"
"Nope"
"How's life?"
"Peachy"
"OK……um you want to talk?"
"Nope"
"You should talk to someone. You could make yourself sick if you don't."
"I don't care."
"Wow three words that's a new record" Hank jokes
Jessica glares at him
"OK…uh so your pissed then."
"Nope"
Hank sighs *Back to one word answers* he thinks
"You upset?"
"No"
"You know you make it really difficult to have a conversation with"
"Who's says I wanted to have a conversation?" She replies annoyed
She starts to head for the front doors
"Uh you class is this way."
"Ok"
"So aren't you going to it?"
"No."
*I've got to do something to get her to talk. Ok well here goes my squeaky clean track record*
"Jessica wait!" Hanks goes out the front doors with her
"Yea"
"I'm coming with you. Where we going?"
"I don't know"
They walk for a few minutes and Jessica (to Hank's surprise) "I hate my life"
Then she keeps on walking.
*Hey we're getting somewhere* Hank thinks
"So how come?" Hank asks
"How come what?"
"How come your hate my life?"
Jessica stops "Wouldn't you hate your life if you had mine?"
"No. I would try to make the best of it"
"How?"
"Well my life wasn't always easy and great I worked my way to the top"
"Ok.."
"Joining the EMT squad has made a big difference. You can even see it in your brother"
Jessica thinks for a minute "Yea I can"
*I've got it!* Hank thinks to himself "Why don't you join the squad?"
"What? Are you serious?"
"Yea we could always use extra bodies. And you don't even need to work on the squad maybe just help out around the station."
"Like that girl Brooke? Was that her name?"
"Yea that's right. And she is in charge of almost everything I bet she would love some help, cause honestly we aren't much help."
For the first time she smiles "Yea maybe that wouldn't be such a bad idea…."
"So lets go down to the station now we can go talk to Alex"
"Hey Alex you here?" Hank calls out as they walk into the station.
"Why aren't you in school?" Alex demands coming out of the stockroom
"I had something to take care of"
Alex notices Jessica and understands "Ok what's up"
"I've got you a new recruit. Jessica can help Brooke out."
"Well we've got to ask Brooke-"
"I would love someone to help me out" Brooke says coming in "If your not busy you can help me out now"
The two go off to the back
"How come Brooke isn't in school?" Hank asks
"Half day. She has been driving me crazy cleaning and organizing this place."
"Hehe I know how that is" Hank laughs
"So is she OK?" Alex asks referring to Jessica
"I don't know she wont talk about it. But I think getting her here may help. You know if she is in stable environment."
"Good job Hank. We can only help her though when she wants to be helped until then just let her know your always there." Alex replies as they watch Jessica and Brooke laugh and joke as they sort through supplies.
R&R guys be constructive, I will put more Val and Tyler love stuff in the next chapter you will have to wait til then to see how it all works out.
