A/N : I had an idea for a final chapter to this. I decided that Josie would write the article that Guy mentioned in the chapter 4, and that it would make a fitting end to this story, I hope you all like it.

Btw, thanx to aiwa, allee kat, satanslut and Chibi-destiny for the reviews on the fourth chapter, I do appreciate it.

(Disclaimer : see chapter 1)

Chapter 5 - The Second Article

I always thought Josie had been very brave when she wrote her first article. It had taken a lot of guts to tell everyone the truth about herself. When she was in high school, she was hated by most pepole, she was cruelly tricked by the guy she really liked and she had got to the age of twenty five without ever really having been kissed. There is no way I could have written that kind of thing about myslef and then allowed it to be printed in a newspaper for anyone to read.

To stand in front of all those reporters and cameras and other people at the stadium, to wait for Sam Coulson who showed up too late, that was the second brace thing that Josie did, which led to my small act of bravery. I kissed her instred and I was grateful that afterwrds she realised it was me she wanted to be with after all.

And now, came her third brave act. She wrote and got her boss to publish a follow up article to the original one. The first article had been called 'Never Been Kissed', this second article was entitled, 'My First Kiss' and this is what she wrote.

My First Kiss

'I'll admit that Friday night did not exactly go the way I planned it. I know a lot of you have figured out by now that the guy who kissed me on the pitchers mound was not the man I referred to in my previous article. However, I am now sure that I am in love and I am in love with Guy, the man you saw me kiss and not a certain English teacher who's name I do not feel it would be proper to mention.

I was mistaken in thinking that I was falling in love with this man. I was instead, falling for Guy, but I thought it would not be sensible to fall for a man who is younger than me and who probably would not feel the same waay about me as I did about him. It was my great fortune, that he does indeed love me in exactly the same way that I do him and my thinking I would be ill-advised to fall in love with such a man, I have put that down no my naivity. It was difficult for me to allow myself to belive that my life could be a happy one. I was not unhappy as such, but I always fel something was missing. I lived alone, I had few friends ad I was haunted by memories of my unhappy high school days, when my name was Josie Grossie and all I wanted to do was be my brother for just one day, to see what populatiry ffelt like.

After my second high school experience, I realsie that popularity is not all that it could be and that love, when it is real and true, is the best feeling in the world. I don't know what the future will bring for me, it is impossible to say, but I have a feeling it will be better than I could ever have imagined before. I have the job I have always wanted, friends who are genuine, and who like me for me and not for what I can do for them or how I look, amnd best of all I have the love of a wonderful man who I love very much too.

I realsie that it seems I may have hurt the man that I had originally planned to meet on the pitchers mound for my first kiss, but I promise you, it was never my intention to hurt anyone. The Josie that this man met was not the real me, and he was right when he told me that he does not know me at all. To this man, he knows who he is, I say this; I am sorry. If I have hurt you in any way I can only apologise and beg your forgiveness giving my ignorance as my excuse. I was not aware of my own feelings or even of my own heart. Now I realsie that it was not you that I truly loved, but I want you to know you were a great friend to me and I will never forget your kindness.

And to the man I do love, I say thankyiu. You gave me my first kiss, and so much more besides. You have changed me, but for the better. I am able to respect myself and feel good about myslef because of you. As I said before, I would not have been he same without you and I am glad about that.

Befoer I end this article there are a few people I need to thank. To Aldys, a girl who befriended me at South Glen High School when no-one else wanted to know me, you are a special person and I value our freindship. I hope we remain friends for a long time. To Anita and Gus, my colleagues, you hepled me so much to become what I wanted to be. I hope you are always as happy together as you are now. Finally, to you, the readers of this newspaper, without you there would be no Chicage Sun Times, there would be no articles, there would be no reporters, there would be no Josie Geller. Becoming a eporter for this newspaper and writing my first article changed my life and turne me into the woman I alwsys wanted to be but could never manage to become.'

A/N : I hope you enjoyed this fic, I certainly enjoyed writing it and I hope that you review so I know what you thought.
