Chapter 7
"Jewels..." I called from outside her door as I still buckled my belt quickly. I didn't hear a peep from inside her room.
"Julie..." I knocked and decided to walk in since the door was unlocked. I looked around and didn't see her anywhere. I looked over to her bed and saw a small note under the sheets. 'What the hell...' I began to read out loud
"...Shane, I'm sorry for leaving like this, but I must. I love you to death but I cant stay here and see you anymore." I cocked my eyebrow when reading that, it was a shock. "...I love you as more than a friend Shane. A lot more. I cant live here and just be your best friend, there's no way my heart can take it any longer. I know this must be a shock but if you think about it well enough, you'll see that my love for you is deeper and stronger than you can imagine. I don't know if Ill ever be back in the WWF, but give my regards to everyone and I'm sorry...I love you Shane. Love always and forever, Jewels." I crumbled up the sheet of paper and sat down on the floor just staring into space. 'What have I done...all this time...'
"Hey man Jewels not here, so what the hell you doin in her room? I saw her leave like 5 minutes ago...she looked to be in a hurry..." Chris peaked his head in the room. I looked up at him.
"Did you ask her where she was going?" I shot up and came over to him.
"She just had a map and a suitcase in her hand that's all...I stopped her and she just gave me a hug and a kiss and left...oh and I yelled to her where she was going and she said..." he stopped and thought for a second. I waited impatiently
"WHEREEEEE!" I yelled. He looked at me a bit frightened.
"Oh she said the airport..." I rushed passed him almost knocking him down. I was set on heading to the airport with no clue on where I was going and what I was gonna say but I knew I couldnt let her go. I jumped into my Mustang and burned tires out and to the airport. I pondered on where she could be heading. 'She has family in Miami...' I thought as I changed gears.
"D!!!" I yelled as I knew she would know where she was heading, or some idea. I dialed her number quickly as it rang and rang. She picked up.
"D! I really need your help...if Jewels was going anywhere where would she go?" there was silence.
"Shane what makes you think I would know...I havent talked to Julie since her and Jeff broke up and she found out about our kid..." I thought back and remembered all that. I had forgotten that it had broken their friendship.
"So you dont know?" "No Shane I cant help you there..." There was silence once again. "OH!!! She once threatened to leave to New York and live there...maybe she's gonna finally do it?"
'Thats it!'
"Thanks D..." I said
"No prob Shane...and Shane...good luck...you should of been with her from the beginning..." I thought for a second
"Thanks...well Im here at the airport... so Ill be talkin to ya..." and with that we said our goodbyes. I quickly parked and started dialing to find out some flight numbers. There were two flights scheduled to leave for New York in 10 minutes. 'Damn I better hurry' so many emotions and thoughts going through my head as I ran through the airport in search of gate 2437. 'There it is' I looked around as people had begun to board already. I ran over to the flight attendant who was taking tickets.
"Excuse me..." I said exhausted as I tried to catch my breath.
"Yes sir..." she said after a few moments.
"Do you have a Julie Robinson scheduled on this plane?" She looked through her clipboard and checked the computer.
"No sir...you need to try gate 2439" I thanked her and began my running once again. But when I reached there, no one was to be seen. No flight attendants at the door, nothing. I looked over my shoulder and saw that the plane was no longer there.
"FUCK!" I yelled as I stomped my feet. I ran my hand through my hair and plopped onto a chair.
"Dammit" I said as I ran both my hands through my hair and leaned back. I looked over at the monitor and saw her flight number. I rushed to it and saw it said cancelled/postponed. I grinned to myself and looked around. I pulled my cellphone out and called the house to see if she had gone back there.
"Kurt! Is Jewels there!?"
"Naw man...why? " "nothing...long story...just if she comes dont let her leave...OK!?" "OK, OK! Jeeze...get a grip man!! She wont leave my sight."
"Ok thanks Kurt..." I hung up the phone and decided to hang around the airport for a while. I went over to the coffee shop and got a coffee and sat down. I finally had a moment to think. 'I really do love her...but I never thought she would love me like that...I never knew we could go to that level...and all those times that I would tell her the stories about me and D...the nights I would cry on her shoulder...when we were both hurt and laid in bed crying in each other's arms...all those times she loved me more...come to think of it she's been like my guardian angel...' I looked up and smiled while taking a sip of my coffee. 'But what can I do to keep her here with me and make this work...' I asked myself. I suddenly knew exactly what she would want. I took the last sip of coffee and got up. I walked around the airport, while stopping at a few stores to pick up a few things that I would need. I sat down and looked at my watch it had been almost and hour since The flight had been cancelled. I called the house a few times and there was no sign of her. I sat down on a bench and looked around. I saw a happy couple who seemed to be on vacation with their newborn baby. I grinned as the folks looked over my way.
"Shane..." I couldnt believe it...I turned slowly around.
"Oh my god Jewels!" I attempted to hug her but she shrugged me off. I looked down as she stood before me.
"What are you doing here Shane?"
"Looking for you Jewels..." I said innocently. She crossed her arms and stared at me. "For?"
"Well Jewels...I dont want you to go...your..."
"Save it Shane...Ive heard it all before..." She turned and began to walk away, I pulled her by her hand and turned her to look at me once again. We were inches apart as I could feel her breathe on my mouth.
"At least..." I gulped
"...at least give me one...last hug...and kiss...." She closed her eyes, as I knew it was hurting her so bad. She exhaled and put her arms around me as we embraced I moved her hand to my pocket as we separated she looked at me not wanting to believe it. I guided her hand into my pocket as she gripped the small box and pulled it out. She looked at the box and up at me her mouth open from the shock. I held her hands as she held the small box, I moved myself to one knee and opened the box for her. She put her hand to her mouth now finding it harder to breathe, as a smile came upon my face.
"Jewels, Julie, you are not only my best friend but your my guardian angel, and now I want you to be my soul mate for the rest of our lives. Will you make me the happiest man alive, Julie Robinson, and marry me?"
I saw a small tear fall down her cheek as I got up she hugged me really tight and whispered yes I looked into her overflowed tear eyes and kissed her wet lips sweetly. Then with a smile on both our faces I took the ring from the box and slipped it onto her finger. I felt a tear coming down my cheek as I looked up at my fiancees eyes and finally saw The Never Ending Love.....
