The next morning, Jeri woke up earlier than expected. She looked over at
Chris. You couldn't deny that he was handsome. She had always thought that.
She traced her fingernail lightly down his arm, causing him to twitch a
little. Grabbing her clothes, she left to go to the bathroom and shower.
About fifteen minutes later, Chris woke up. He heard the sound of the shower, knowing Jeri was in there. She had been so beautiful when he looked at her sleeping last night. I mean, damn, she is amazingly beautiful.., he thought. He didn't want to think that. It was wrong, and he had Leslie. He had Leslie, and only here. As a matter of fact, he was going to make it official. That was he would, hopefully, not think of Jeri like that anymore.
Jeri hopped out of the shower and went to her room to get dressed. She picked out some black jean pants and a pink 'Always on Top' shirt, inspired by Stephanie McMahon. After she was dressed, she started to head down to the living room to watch TV. She heard talking from down there, so she stopped at the top of the stairs and looked down. There was Chris, on one knee, in front of Leslie.
"Hun, I love you. Will you marry me?" she heard Chris ask. She heard Leslie's squeal, which was most likely a yes.
Tears started to run down her face, and she started to sob. Chris had noticed a sound from up there, but he only saw Jeri running back to her room. He told Leslie she should probably leave, and then went up there to check on Jeri.
He knocked on the door. No answer. He knocked again. "Hun, you'll have to come out of there sometime today. Your mom called, and she said she had a big surprise for you." He told her, referring to a call he had gotten right before coming up to her room.
"Don't call me that!" she yelled. Hun.how could he call me that when he just called HER that?, she thought. Wait... Why am I even feeling like this? It's Chris! I should be happy for him. She kept wondering why she felt so hurt that he loved Leslie. She stayed locked in her room for at least two hours when she realized why she was that way.
I love Chris, she thought suddenly. She loved Chris. But she couldn't admit it to him. He loved Leslie. She was a bimbo, thought. Jeri guessed her brain had grown smaller than when she was born.
She grabbed her bags and ran down the stairs. It was storming outside, but she was going to walk home anyway. Or so she thought. Chris stopped her a block away from his house.
"Jer-bear, get in the car. Now!" he yelled. When she wouldn't, he opened the car door and pulled her in himself. "Come on, Jeri, tell me what's wrong." He demanded.
"No. It's not that important." She said.
"If it makes my bear sad, then it's important." He said.
She looked into his eyes. "Chris, have you ever wanted something you couldn't have?" she asked. He nodded. "That's like what I'm going through right now. There's something I want, something I love, but I know I can't have it."
"And what would this be?" Chris asked.
"You mean who, not what." She told him.
"Then who would this be?" he asked.
"Like I said, just someone I love a lot." She said, feeling heartbroken still.
About fifteen minutes later, Chris woke up. He heard the sound of the shower, knowing Jeri was in there. She had been so beautiful when he looked at her sleeping last night.
