Chapter 17: Happy One-Year Anniversary!

Ok, so the next morning was like any other morning. Wake up, get dressed, go to the bathroom. Yea, the whole enchilada! When I woke up, I had just realized that Chris and Evelyn were left back at our gang spot. I tried calling Evelyn's cell but no one answered! I wondered where they could be? So, I woke up Jesse and told him that I was really concerned about them. But Jesse had to be really lazy and got dressed and stuff as fast as a freaking snail! As soon as he got done, we went to the train station and bought two tickets to New York City. In thirty minutes to an hour, we finally arrived at our destination. We walked to our gang spot, but found no one there. A little later, Jesse got a call from someone and when he hung up, he had the saddest face ever. I asked him, "What's wrong?!" He told him that Chris and Evelyn never got home from last night. O my god, we totally needed to find them! First we went to Chris' apartment and talked to his mother. She was deeply upset and asked if we knew anything. Well, we did but we couldn't just give it out! We talked for a long time and after a while, we left. Jesse and I were determined to find our friends! We called all our friends and told them to be on the lookout for Chris and Evelyn. So, we all tried to find them for such long time! But we had no luck. After, we decided to go home and hope and pray that Chris and Evelyn would show up safely. Everyone went home, and Jesse and I just sat on his couch waiting for the phone to just ring. There we sat after midnight. I was drifting off to sleep and in the next moment, I was asleep! I just couldn't wait for them anymore. In the middle of the night, someone was shaking me! It was Jesse. Startled as I was, Jesse just kept on rambling on and on about something that I couldn't understand! But all he did was grab my jacket and me and we were out of the door! Then he bought us some tickets and on the train, I asked him what the hell was going on?! Here's our convo: J=Jesse, S=Me! S-Um, What's going on? J-Chris and Evelyn are safe! S-What?! Well, where are they?! J-They're in the gang spot with the rest of the gang. S-O my god! We have to call everyone and tell them that they're safe! J-yeah, and tell them to go there. S-But we can't! Because that means I have to break one of our rules! J-We have to! Would you rather risk your friendships or your stupid gang! At that moment, everything was racing through my mind. Would I either have my friends or would I have my o so cool gang? I, I just don't know! Then, we got off of the train and we quickly got to our spot. When we got in, we saw Chris with a black eye and Mike with a serious bullet wound. At that split second, I knew the answer to my problem. I had to tell my friends. Even though the gang was really important to me, I just couldn't live without my friends. They are the world to me. I asked Jesse to hand me his phone and I called everyone that Chris and Evelyn were ok. They said that they would come and I told them the location. When they bursted in, Bobby had a confused look on his face. I told him that they were my friends. But of course, he was being selfish and he totally freaked out. He said I was out of the gang and you know what? I really didn't care by now. I just had to help get Chris and Mike to the hospital. Amanda helped Mike out. Evelyn helped Chris out. By now, Greg was being really dumb and he was totally not helping and checking out Christina. Ugh, how can anyone like that bitch? Well, Alicia and Bobby stayed behind because they don't think about anyone except themselves. On the way to the hospital, a car hit Greg! Can this night get any worse? O my god, well, Greg was seriously in bad shape. We had the guys and Christina help him to the hospital. When we got to the hospital, the emergency room was full of people. We had to wait at least an hour until Greg, Mike, and Chris were attended to. Also, we had to fill out some paperwork until we could see them again. And by looking at Mike and Chris' clothes, they asked us some ridiculous questions! This was hell. I didn't get to answer all the questions because I had no clue what happened. I just hope that they don't get into any more trouble than they are now. A half an hour later, we got to visit them. Chris was ok. He just had an ice pack to reduce the swelling. On the other hand, Mike was in critical condition. He had to go through surgery to get the bullet out. I'm guessing he has to stay in the hospital for at least a week. Now onto poor Greg. He had some broken ribs and a concussion. We all talked to them and it was pretty quiet most of the time. It was getting really late and we had to leave them there. Christina stayed with Greg and Amanda stayed with Mike. Well, well, it looks like there might be a chance of some new couples. While on the way back to Jesse's house, Jesse kept on muttering something. I asked him, "Um, hello? Whatcha talking about? Haha, you're not schizophrenic, are you?" "What? Oh, sorry. I'm just thinking," replied Jesse. "Well, hmm, you think out loud, eh," said I. Jesse said, "I guess so." When we were on the train, we both were quiet. I guess we just needed time to think. We got home pretty soon and we gave each other a hug and a kiss. I went into my room and it was so homey. Jesse's house has been so much like a second house to me. I mean, his family and friends were so nice, except for that one incident. The room that I slept in was so much like the way I kept it in my real house. Plus, Mr., Mrs., Lea, and Timmy are like family to me now! Well, I didn't want to think anymore. I went to sleep and when I was half asleep, I heard some instrumental sounds and some humming. O well, I was too tired to find out. When I woke up, the house was actually quiet. I got up to my feet and tiptoed into Jesse's room. Poor baby, he fell asleep on his desk. And what do I see in his hand?! Some lyrics to a song. Hmm, well, I ain't going to be nosey so I went into my room and got online. One of my cool friends, Erika, was on too. Here's our convo: WanaRockJesse2NT=Hey Sk8erGrl=hey, wassup? WanaRockJesse2NT=just quietness...u? Sk8erGrl=same, so what are you going to do today? WanaRockJesse2NT=um, did I ever tell you that im with that SOS that ive been desiring for so long? Sk8erGrl=what are you talking about???? WanaRockJesse2NT=uhh, hehe, Jesse's in the other room? Sk8erGrl=WHAT???? Omg grl, you're so lucky!! aaahhh, give me details! WanaRockJesse2NT=well, theres so much! I mean, whoo! lets just say that life is still normal as it can get and its just one more special person in my life. Sk8erGrl=you're still soooo lucky! WanaRockJesse2NT=hehe, I kno. Sk8erGrl=hey, I g2g now. Have fun with the Jester from Westchester! ::wink:: WanaRockJesse2NT=byeness By now, my typing had woken up Jesse. Hehe, yes, I type really hard and loud. Jesse knocked on the door and I told him to come in. He asked what I was doing and I replied that Erika was just talking to me. He gave me a hug and o my goodness, when he hugged me, I felt like I was an obsessive fan again. Although I still was but now I knew he was mine. I told him to get out of the room so I could change. Of course there was a bit of tickling but hell, his tickling is really great. Haha, did that even make sense? I was ready in like fifteen minutes and Jesse had changed too. Ahh, his cologne still smelled so great. I swear, that day was beginning with a different me. Jesse took me out for lunch that day and we went to Friday's. We took the bus and we talked constantly. It was a never-ending chat. When we arrived, I ordered a pizza and Jesse ordered two burgers. As soon as he was done with his first burger, he took out his cell phone and told me to wait while he went outside. So I did that. He came back in like ten minutes. I asked him whom he called and he said no one. Ooook. Then Jesse ate the other burger really quickly and well, I was already done when he was outside calling someone. He took care of the check and we went outside and got onto another bus. The next was Westchester Mall. Jesse gave me some money to spend and told me to go shop for some CDs. So I did that. Yes, I am a very obeying person. I went to FYE and bought a B2K CD. When I went back to the place where we split, Jesse was already there! He had nothing in his hand or anything. Ok, he is starting to get a little suspicious. First, the lyrics and humming. Then the out-of-the-blue phone call. Next, he bought nothing! What? That didn't seem right! I finally had enough with all this weird stuff! I asked him what was going on. He said to just chill. O my god, how can he say that?! I told him to stop. And he said he would. Well, we left the mall and headed to a store. There, we bought Greg and Mike a gift. Then we walked over to a bakery and got them some donuts. We called up a taxi and then we started out to the hospital. We went into the building and went up the elevator. Greg and Mike's room number room was 602. Jesse and I went into the room and we saw both of them watching a baseball game. O jeez. So of course, Jesse got sucked into the game. I saw Christina and Amanda in the room too. They looked bored out of their minds. Haha! Well, I talked to Amanda. I definitely will not talk to Christina! She's a little bitch and god, now she likes Greg?! I mean, I don't really have that much against Greg about this topic, but she was falling for him just when she saw him! God, this world is turning upside-down! Amanda didn't really care about Greg now. He was just a stranger in her mind. I put the flowers in the hospital vases and I gave both of them teddy bears. They were so cute! Amanda and I talked about Mike and well, since Mike, Greg, and Jesse were into the game, I don't think they would've heard us. Amanda told me that Mike was a real sweetie and he looked adorable when he slept. Haha, and I said that that was kind of hard to imagine. Well, it was getting a little late and I told Jesse we had to go. Jesse refused so o well. I gave a Greg and Mike a hug and then I dragged Jesse out of the room. Haha! We walked out of the building and headed toward a nearby train station. Jesse and I were going back to his house since there really wasn't much to do today. So when we were back in White Plains, we walked to Jesse's house. Jesse gave me his keys to open the door and when I finally opened it, o my goodness gracious, the house was filled with so many roses! I turned around facing Jesse with a huge smile on my face and I was so speechless! Then he took out a long box out of his jacket and he opened it and it was heart locket necklace. It was white gold. Jesse put the necklace on me, and I opened the locket. There were two pictures of us kissing and snuggled together. Pretty soon, there were tears streaming down my eyes and I hugged Jesse so tight! Then he whispered, "Happy anniversary." I told him that I loved him as a reply. Soon after, he took my hand and we went into his bedroom! Eek! I wonder what he had up his sleeve now. He told me to sit on the bed. When I sat down, he dug into his drawer and he got something out. It was a.piece of paper with words and notes on it! Had you on suspense, didn't I? Haha! Anyways, he took out this little keyboard and began singing to me while playing the keyboard. The song was so sweet. He told me that it was a song that he's working on and it was dedicated to me. Aww, isn't that the sweetest thing you've ever heard? Then he sat next to me and gave a wonderful kiss. It was so exhilarating. When we broke off, we stared at each other's eyes. It must have been like ten minutes before one of us spoke up. Jesse then told me he had another surprise! Yea, another surprise! Can you believe it? So he told me to wear the best dress that I brought with me. I got out of his room and ransacked my closet for the perfect dress. Finally I found one that I cherished. It was a lavender silk dress that cut off at my knees. It was also spaghetti strapped, and the dress was in layers. So I picked out my dress and then I had to get my hair in a perfect style, ya know. So I decided to put it up with a clamp, because Jesse had told me to hurry up to get ready. The clamp was black, to blend in with my hair. When I was done putting my hair up, I put on my makeup. I decided to not go so heavy on the makeup. So when the makeup was on, I put on my dress, and I stared into my mirror. Gee golly, I forgot about my shoes! Haha! Well, I searched in my closet and I had to deal with my platform spring shoes. Haha! Well, I searched in my closet and I had to deal with my platform spring shoes. Jesse was downstairs waiting. Gosh, this felt like going to a prom. Haha! I walked carefully down the stairs and Jesse was in a tuxedo. Ahh, this was starting to become a wonderful evening. He greeted me and he held my jacket in his hands. He helped me put it on, and then he said that we we're going Manhattan to have our dinner. Can you believe him?! O golly, am I glad that he's my boyfriend? Well, he actually rented a limo! I'm telling you, this guy must have watched many prom movies. So we got into the limo and the driver began to drive. On the way to the city, we talked about how our day was going. Here's our convo: J=Jesse, S=Me! J-So how do you like our day so far? S-O my god, are you kidding me?! I'm loving it! It's like a dream! Haha! J-Good good. Well, I still have one more surprise after the next surprise. S-Aah! Jesse, you are my magician. J-And you're my angel. S-No, you're my angel! J-Nah, you're mine. S-Well, I guess we're each other's angels. Or should I say Guardian angel, eh? J-You might be right. S-Well, I'm always right! Haha! J-That's true. And that's one of the reasons why you're so perfect to me. S-Mmm, I love you. J-Yea, so do I. S-And I cherish, adore, admire, fancy, and all those other words. J-Well, I just have to say one thing. I love you. S-Yepp, everyone loves the one and only Scarlet! J-Hey, we're getting near to the surprise. Better pamper up. S-Hah, I think you're the one that needs pampering. Your hair's messed up, Mr. McCartney. J-Hey, this is the do. Jesse McCartney is nothing without this. S-Mmhmm, I'm sure. J-Yea, you better agree. S-Haha! J-Ok, well, we're here so let's go! S-Ok. Jesse opened the door and he took my hand to help me out. When I stepped out, there were millions of cameras everywhere and the surprise was Jesse made reservations to like, the second to most expensive restaurant ever! I'm telling you, this guy must have really big connections. Well, the cameras kept flashing and Jesse kept on smiling. But I was in a little trouble. Haha, I had never gotten the chance to get accustomed to cameras so I was going blind there. Haha! Thank goodness that Jesse was holding my arm so he could guide me. So dependable, he is. Well, we eventually got into the restaurant and I saw a lot of famous people there. Haha, shouldn't be a surprise to me anymore. Well, a waiter guided us to our table and it was a wonderful spot, indeed. We ordered our food and o my go, it was so freaking delicious. An hour and a half later, we left. Arg, back to the flashing cameras again! By the time we reached the end of the sidewalk, our limo was already there. Jesse said, "Now onto my next surprise for you. Hehe." Hmm, a chuckle from him can't good. Haha! Well, Jesse and I got in and off we went. Our next stop was at.Central Park! Haha, o my god, duh, how obvious! Haha, well, not to me. So Jesse and I got out and there was a white carriage with carnations all over it. Also, the horse was black and had a white diamond shape on its forehead, like Black Beauty, my favorite book of all time! Jesse escorted me onto the carriage and a driver was already there. Jesse said to the driver to go around the park several times. Several! Well, Jesse and I talked. Here's the convo: J=Jesse, S=Me!, A=Amy, N=Nick S-O my gosh, how could you have planned all this without me knowing? Haha! J-Hey, my looks and singing ain't all that I gots. S-Well, hehe, you certainly have proven that well tonight. J-I'm just multi-talented. Give me a kiss. ::Kiss:: S-You are absolutely wonderful! J-Yepp, it's all here. S-Um, yea.holy frick! Look over there! ::points to two figures on the streets:: Ick, its Amy with. J-With who? And who's Amy again? I forgot, sorry hunn. S-Ugh! With Nick! The guy that oh, I went out with when I was mad at you. And Amy is my cousin, the whore! J-O, yea, I remember her. S-Yeah, she's a nerdy slut, I swear! I hate how she ruins everything. J-Just forget about them. Ignore 'em! S-Hmm, easier said than done. She has hawk eyes too. Her stupid glasses! Just smash 'em and she's as blind as a bat. J-Hey, chill. Don't let her ruin our night without having said anything to us yet! Haha, you're my riley girl. S-Mmm, you're right. And thanks Jess. Hey, you're my lubber dawg. J-Yea! I'm her pet! S-Hehe, yepp. I'll pet ya forever and take care of you. J-::Smiles and leans in for a kiss, but stops because of an interruption:: A-*From far away* Whoohoo! Over here. J-Just ignore her Scarlet. A-Yo! Hey Nick, let's run towards 'em. N-Are you sure? Because they seem content without us. A-Yes, I'm sure! I have not been wrong so far, have I? N-Well, no. A-Well, ok, now let's go! *They both run towards us* A-Hey, didn't you hear me, Scarlet? S-Hmm? O, no. A-Hey, what's up Jesse? J-Just out with my girl, what about you? A-I'm just out with my boy. O, let me introduce you to him, since Scarlet didn't do that when she was dating him. This is Nick. Nick, Jesse. Jesse, Nick. N-Hey. J-Yo. S-Ook, since everyone knows each other now, let's get on with our lives, shall we? A-Hey, not so fast. Everyone needs to know a person's history, right? S-Hmm, not in all cases such as this one. A-Aww, well, for tradition's sake. S-Be quiet! A-Ok, well, let's start out with Nick telling me that Scarlet said that she really enjoyed the kiss that Scarlet and he shared. He also told me that Scarlet said that that kiss was better than any kiss that you ever gave her, Jesse. S-What? That isn't true now! A-Yeah, whatever you say. N-Yo, that was suppose to be kept between Scarlet and me. J-It's alright. I know that Scarlet was just.out of it! She needed someone to depend on. S-No, that wasn't the exact reason. I was being stupid, not thinking! I was really desperate so you know, I needed something to take the pain away. A-Yeah, exactly. So as you see, miss perfect ain't all that after all. S-At least I admit my mistakes and am not annoying! A-Well, I ain't the bitch! S-A bitch is better than a whore! A-Whatever. Let's get out of here, Nick. S-Yeah, you better wimp! *So Amy and her player boyfriend walks back onto the streets* S-She's such an.erg! J-Just forget it. S-Easy for you to say! She's not your cousin! J-That's true but you just gotta.I don't know, just don't fight. Let her tire herself out and then you see who has more power than. S-That's not how it runs in my family. J-You know what? Do you want to walk to the train station and go home? Because I really think you want to relax. S-Sure. J-Alright.Driver, please stop. *Jesse and I get out of the carriage and walk along the streets* We both walked about three blocks and who do we run into?! *Please review it!*
