I continued to walk to the other side of the mall searching for a jewelry store. I spotted one on the opposite end of the court to where I was standing.
*Greg's POV*
"Where did Jesse go?", Chris questioned.
We all just shrugged it off. I went into Aeropostale to see if I could find a shirt Nikole might like. I wasn't a girl, so I didn't know what her taste was.
"I'll just pick her up some gift certificates", I thought outloud.
After walking to the other end of the mall, I spotted Jesse in "Roger's Jewelers". I walked up to him.
"Yo, Jess", I hollered at him. "What are you doing in here?".
He hesitated to answer, but finally did.
"I am looking...", he said walking to the other counter. I followed him.
"For?", I pressed.
"I am looking to see how much it would cost for me to buy Laura a charm that had "Laura + Jesse" carved into it, and then getting a 14 K gold chain with it", he implied.
"Whoa, Jesse. Are you sure you wanna spend that kinda money on her? I mean, what if it doesn't work out?", I asked seriously.
I remembered how with previous girlfriends he thought they were "the one", but they ended up being a fluke. Gotta love Laura and all, but what made her so different?
"Greg, I love Laura with all my heart, I love her, she loves me, the only possible way it couldn't work out would be the whole long distance thing when we are on tour, but we have agreed to make it work. After all, we have been dating for a year", he emphasized.
"Can I help you sir?", a guy from behind the counter asked.
"Yeah, I wanna get a price. How much would it cost to get a 14 K charm with lettering carved into it and then a 14 K chain?", he asked lightly.
"$1,350... plus $250 deposit on the spot", he replied.
Jesse looked back at me.
"Hey, it's your girl. Do what you gotta do", I replied.
"Okay, well I would like to put an order in", Jesse said firmly. "And I notice your sign says 3 weeks before delivery. Would it be possible to pick it up at a chain store? I live in White Plains, NY".
"Yeah. What would you like your charm to say?", he asked.
"Laura + Jesse", he said
He scribbled down Jesse's order and put it in the bin the shelf. Jesse got out his wallet and forked out the $250 for the deposit. He smiled briefly at Jesse and said it should arrive in about 3-5 weeks. With that me and Jesse went to meet up with the other guys at the other end of the mall.
"What were you guys doing in Rogers?", Matt pressed.
"Looking...", I replied.
*Jesses POV*
That night we had another sold out concert. The screaming was more deafening than normal. We danced to all the songs like we did in rehearsal. Claudia was especially pleased with us. The fans gave us good feedback as usual. After the concert I went backstage in our dressing room. I got my cell phone out of my bag. I quickly dialed Laura's number.
"Hi, Mrs. Eshleman. Yes, I am doing good. Our tour is fine. Can I please talk to Laura?", I questioned.
I became silent. I was so happy, but then 5 seconds later I felt like 10,000 knives were being shot right through me.
"No, I didn't hear. Is she alright?", I questioned.
"Yes, she is fine. She just had a nervous breakdown. You know how she gets those sometimes", she said on the other end.
