Here's chapter 3! Thanx for all of your reviews, keep on reviewing for me! I like to know how I am doing.
The sunlight streams into the room, causing both Topanga and Kaci to wake up.
"Ohhh." Kaci moans pulling he blanket over her head
"Come on Kaci we have to get up, we're going to be late." Topanga says
"I can't face anyone today."
"You can't hide forever. Eventually you will have to talk to people."
"How about just for today?" Kaci asks
"It's up to you, I'll get work for you if there is any."
"Thanks, I can't do this today." Kaci admits
"Welcome, but remember you will have to talk to everyone soon." Topanga says getting dressed
"I know, I know." Kaci grumbles
"OK well I come back later to see how your holding up. Bye" Topanga says opening the door.
"Bye" Kaci calls softly
**************
Mr. Feeny walks into his class that morning and notices that something is off, he decides to ignore it and continue his teaching.
After his lesson he dismisses the class and asks Jack, Cory and Topanga to stay behind.
"What's up Mr. Feeny?" Cory asks
"I noticed, you Mr. Hunter and Ms. Lawrence were awfully quiet today in class." Mr. Feeny says
"In fact the three of you haven't even spoken or looked at each other."
The three look down in silence.
"Where's Ms. Wood today?" Mr. Feeny asks
"She wasn't feeling good, so she stayed in bed." Topanga answers
"She was fine yesterday." Cory says accusingly
"Well she isn't today." Topanga defends Kaci
"I wonder why?" Cory says
"What's that supposed to mean?" Topanga asks
"Listen Topanga I didn't mean to snap at you, I'm sorry" Cory apologizes
"No comments Mr. Hunter?" Mr. Feeny asks
Jack just shrugs
"OK so do any of you want to talk about what's going on? None of you may leave until you do." Mr. Feeny states
No one says anything
"Take a seat I have all day." Mr. Feeny says
They all sit, just before Cory sits he jumps back up. "I know what happened last night Topanga. I saw you two before you went to sleep, how could you say you would support her?"
"Mr. Feeny it isn't our place to tell you what's going on right now." Topanga says
"And who's place is it?" He asks
"Kaci's it's her business." Topanga answers
"Very well, I hope you all work it out then. You may go." Mr Feeny dismisses them
20 minutes later, Mr. Feeny looks up as Kaci walks into the classroom.
"Feeling better Ms. Wood?" He asks
"I'm not sick." She answers
"I know. What can I do for you?"
"I was wondering if you have any work for me?" She asks
"Ms. Lawrence has it."
"Oh OK." Kaci turns to leave.
"Kaci. Sit down." Mr. Feeny gestures to a chair.
She sits.
"Is there something you want to talk about?" Mr. Feeny asks
"I don't think you would understand."
"I had Mr. Matthews live next door to me, Mr. Hunter and Ms. Lawrence for so long I cannot even count the years. There is probably nothing I wouldn't understand."
"Jack and I, used to be best friends. We went out on and off, and we were going out before school had started and broke up, because we thought it would be best."
"You and Jack still have feelings for each other I presume?"
"Yea, but Jack is going out with Rachel and Shawn asked me out, but I said no."
"I see, well this is very complicated."
"You don't need to tell me."
"Do I need to tell you that, skipping classes isn't going to make it better?" Mr. Feeny asks
"No, I knew that."
"Would you like to know what I would do?" Mr. Feeny asks
"Sure" Kaci says
"I would talk to Jack, you two need to decide what your going to do, and then be able to deal with the consequences, of whatever you choose to do."
"Thanks Mr. Feeny." Kaci says getting up
"Anytime, my door is always open." Mr. Feeny says as she leaves
**************
"Eric!" Kaci says as she literally runs into him in the hall
"Hey, feeling better?" He asks
"I wasn't sick" She admits
"I know, you were just running away, from the world."
"How'd you know?" She asks surprised
"I really do know everything that's going on, like I know you lied to Shawn and Topanga will support you through everything, Cory is angry, Shawn is confused and hurt but will never say anything. Rachel doesn't have a clue. Jack still loves you and you still love him, and me, I feel bad cause this is a situation that no one should have to be in."
Kaci thinks for a minute about what Eric just said. "Maybe I should never of moved here."
"If you never moved here, you and Jack could of both made the biggest mistakes of your lives."
"How?" Kaci asks
"Cause then you two would never of known how you really feel about each other. And you both would of been living a lie, like you're both doing right now."
"Do you really think we are?" Kaci asks
"Yes, I do." Eric says seriously "I only wish I knew you before Jack did, he's a lucky guy."
"What about Shawn and Rachel?"
"In time they will both heal. But it won't be fun at first. I'll be there for you. Just like Topanga."
"Thanks Eric. How'd you get so smart?" Kaci asks
"Between you and me ok?" He leans over and whispers in her ear. "These teaches like Mr. Feeny teach you these things, and if you listen they actually just say it out loud, no hidden messages." He smiles
Kaci laughs. "Yea, so do you know where I can find Jack?"
"Yea, he's uh. Hey he's right there." Eric says and Kaci turns around.
"Hey" Jack says
"You heard?" She asks
"Everything."
"Do you want to do this?" She asks
"Do you love me?" Jack asks
"Yes."
"Well I love you too, we have no other choice, I can't keep this up."
"You know you and Shawn-"
"It's going to be bad, but life goes on and eventually he'll forgive me."
"What about Rachel I mean you guys do live together." Kaci asks
"First things first, details will come later." Mr. Feeny says from the doorway to his classroom. "First go and be honest with them, everything will eventually work out."
"All right let's do this." Jack says to Kaci
"I'm coming too" Eric says
"So are we." Cory says, as he and Topanga, walk out from another classroom. "I still don't like it, but I do understand real love. Meet us at Jack's apartment I'll get Shawn over there, I'll be there in about 15 minutes." Cory walks off in the direction of his dorm.
"Come on" Topanga says and they walk off to the apartment.
**************
"Cory I don't get why I had to come here now" Shawn says outside the door to the apartment.
"We all need to talk, as a group and it's important that it's now not later." Cory says opening the door.
Inside, Topanga and Kaci on sitting on the couch Cory walks over and sits with them. Jack and Rachel are sitting on stools by the bar, Eric is standing by the door, but when Shawn shuts the door, Eric takes a beanbag chair and sits in front of the door. Shawn sits on the coffee table.
"So what's going on?" Shawn asks
"Yea, why do I feel like me and Shawn are the only one who have no idea what's going on?" Rachel asks
"Because you both are." Jack says "We need you both to promise not to freak out, and hear us out first."
"Sure." Rachel says confused and Shawn nods.
"Listen, Shawn, I'm really sorry I didn't say yes when you asked me out." Kaci starts
"Hey you had your reasons." Shawn says "It's ok"
"I know, but I lied." Kaci says
"We both did." Jack says
"How?" Rachel asks
"Jack was the last person I went out with." Kaci admits
Shawn looks confused, along with Rachel.
"Kaci and I, well, we, we still have feelings for each other." Jack says
"We tried to go out with other people, and we really both liked you two, but-"
"We love each other more." Jack finishes
"How long have you known, that you still loved her?" Rachel asks
"Since I saw her, I tried to convince myself I was crazy, but I couldn't."
"Yea." Rachel says and gets up.
"Rach-"
"No, don't, I need to think, I need time, just don't Jack." Rachel disappears into her bedroom.
"I'm outta here" Shawn goes to the door "Eric can you move?" He asks annoyed when Eric doesn't get up.
"No, I am not going to watch my friends fall apart because of this." Eric says stubbornly
"Nothing is falling apart." Shawn insists
"Look at Jack" Eric says "See you can't even do that, I'm not moving."
"Shawn, Jack is your brother. And I hate to say this but I understand what he is going through, true love you can't deny, and so many years you pushed for me and Topanga to be together, try to understand what they feel for each other." Cory says
"Half brother first of all, and I don't need to understand anything, I know perfectly well what happened, Jack couldn't stand the thought of me going out with Kaci."
"Shawn I said no to you, not Jack." Kaci says
"Whatever. Eric can you move now!" Shawn shouts so loudly that Eric moves over and Shawn storms out.
Jack sits back into his chair his head in his hands, Kaci stays frozen where she is standing not sure what to do, Cory, Topanga and Eric, are silent not sure of what to say.
"Listen Jack, I'd ask you to stay at my place, but if Shawn comes home tonight….." Cory says
"No hey it's ok I understand." Jack says
"Why don't you stay with me and Kaci tonight?" Topanga suggests
"Yea, why don't you?" Kaci says snapping out of her trance
"Yea, OK I think it would be best if I wasn't here." Jack says and grabs his coat and goes and gets some clothes out of his room.
"Ready?" Kaci asks from the doorway, where she is waiting for him.
"Yea." Jack says looking back into the apartment "We did the right thing….right?"
"Yes." Kaci confirms "We did."
Jack takes a deep breath "I know. It's just…"
"I know, but it will get better, I hope." Kaci says and they join Cory and Topanga in the elevator.
To be continued…..please R&R. Thanx!
The sunlight streams into the room, causing both Topanga and Kaci to wake up.
"Ohhh." Kaci moans pulling he blanket over her head
"Come on Kaci we have to get up, we're going to be late." Topanga says
"I can't face anyone today."
"You can't hide forever. Eventually you will have to talk to people."
