Love. What is love? A feeling? Yes...But an emotion you can share with others? Some thing we can simply pass on to another? No, they can't receive the feeling unless they have it already. Somewhere deep inside them. Deep inside their hearts their soul. I can only hope that Jessica has that feeling in a place she has yet to show to me.
Looking at the roses in my hand and back at the door I almost lose my knack to go and knock. 'Come on James...You can do it. Just knock not that hard.' For some reason it felt almost impossible. Finally I did it. "Jessie."
Silence.
"Jess?"
Silence.
"Jessica?!"
"Yeah?" A voice behind me calls. Turning around to face the speaker the only look I get is one of...pain, hurt, hatred? "Jess what's wrong?" Bursting into tears she collapses onto my shoulder. Hugging her close I try to calm her down long enough to open the door (Apparently it was unlocked.). "What happened Jessie? I mean I've never seen you cry like this before." Whether she took that as an insult, a question, or a out stretched hand trying to comfort her I will never know. She never looked at me.
"Arthur...." She choked. I handed her a cup of tea. 'Oh no not again.'
Arthur is or at least WAS Jessie's boyfriend. A real asshole red rocket he liked to fuck with his girlfriends. But they were all of lower ranking, his girlfriends, and so they couldn't say anything to anybody in order to report him being all their elders were his friends. The cops weren't an option. The boss had a team run by Arthur and his friends that were supposed to deal with these things. And he didn't know anything about all this so he thought everything was fine. He was said to do everything that could be marked as a illegal to a woman. There was a rumor that he had killed a girl in order to keep her quiet about an attempted coo. The only evidence that could be used against him and his friends was her, and the information she possessed.
How the girls kept from hearing about all this was beyond James. Or any other male rocket that knew anything about the Reds as they were called. But they had any idea. Most of them were threatened by the Reds and didn't dare tell. The girls they were happy to be alive. Non the less to be able to tell anybody about it. The Reds ran the HQ like it was their own little playground. They ran a strip clubs in Goldenrod, Celadon, and Saffron. Made deals with Professors aides, scientists, and researchers. Doctors, lawyers, DAs software developers, Tech students, Tech teachers. They had more money and guns then the twerp had stupid catch phrases. They had ties to the cops, the judges, the mayors, P.O. officers...You name it they have a connection to it. The code of silence was one well inforced.
"Jess it's okay...Look maybe you should move on okay. Get rid of him. Maybe?" She shook so hard she almost dropped her cup. "LEAVE? James ARE YOU CRAZY??" She looked at me with wild eyes. "Do. You. Know. What. He'll. Do. To. Me?" The fear in her eyes was almost more then I could bare. "Jess maybe you could tell the boss. Maybe I could?" I couldn't keep it from her any longer. To be hurt when maybe I could stop it. Holding her quivering frame close to me I told her everything that I knew. About Arthur, the Reds, everything. After I as done she looked at me like I was insane. But right. "Do you know where Meowth is?" She shook her head lost for words. "Mondo's maybe?" She looked like she was in shock and I didn't know if she needed a memory jog. "Yeah." she said softly, "He's there I sent him there just incase..." She drifted off a pink halo showing up on her cheeks.
"I'll get him." I sighed more then a hint of disgust in my voice. "Start packing Jess. We need to leave tommorrow." A quiver came back into her voice. "Why? Where?" Honestly I don't know where we were going to go. Where could we hide from the most powerful rockets in the world? Wait. I know they have listening devices in this place. They have them in every place from hallways to bathrooms to broom closets to dorms to training rooms. "James?" I know they have one in here. Somewhere. "Jess." I put my finger to my lips telling her to keep quiet. Hopping on a chair and unscrewing the air vent I found what I was looking for: A small quarter sized listening device.
"Meowth's back!" The cat said slamming the door behind him. I gave him a look and he sat down next to Jess. Jess...The reason I came here tonight. Her full lips, blue eyes, long hair, sweet smile. It was amazing when I came her I was looking for a cold-hearted tyrant of sorts who I had fallen in love with. But I had seen what she really is. A person. A nice, warm caring person. She was more wonderful then I had ever dreamed she would be. And I hadn't even told her how I felt yet!
Pulling the device off and smashing it to pieces I hopped down. "So Jimmy boy where we goin'?" He gave me a knowing smile. "I was sittin' in the hallway listen' to ya's. Ya know it's not everyday Meowth hears a conversation about running off to the sunset." Before I could retort Jessie pulled out her frying pan and smacked him a good one. "Look me and James and you need to all leave. NOW!" With that she walked off to her bedroom. The small cat looked up at me. "James?" I looked back down at him, "Yeah?" He looked a little worried to me, "Where we gonna go hide?" I gave it a thought for a few moments..."Jirarudan..."
A.N. EVIL CLIFFHANGER! Yeah okay let me address 2 things before I get flamed. 1. James and Jessie are a little OCC but I need that for my little idea to work. 2. Jirarudan is the blond guy rich guy that tries to take Articono, Zapdos, Moltres, and Lugia in the second movie. Why is he here? Well I need at least 5 reviews before I will write the second chapter. Or tell you ANYTHING that will make this fic make ANY sense. Well.....Review! -Annabelle Ravenclaw
