Winnie lied on the couch for two more hours, waiting for the Tuck's to
wake. Jesse was the first, and Winnie felt her heart lighten, when she saw
him. Everything was different between them, she now remembered falling in
love with him, but felt very awkward.
"Winnie," she heard him whisper, as he drew nearer
"Jesse!" her voice sounded anxious, which was unintended. "I have to talk to you," Winnie added quickly, "Is there a place I can talk to you alone?" Jesse, looked at her oddly for a moment hearing the anxiety in her voice, then nodded. He helped her off the couch, and as quiet as a whisper open the front door. He didn't even bother closing the door, but left it a crack open.
Jesse began leading her down the same hallway Miles pushed her down the day before. He soon stopped in front of a door, that had a label reading stairs, and he gently wrapped his hand sweetly around hers. "This way," he whispered and lead her up the flight of stairs. He stopped her all the way to another door that read building roof.
"What is it?" Jesse asked as soon as they were up on the roof of the apartment building.
"I remember," was all Winnie managed, Jesse just stood there trying to understand what she was trying to say.
"What?" he finally asked, in wonder.
"I'm the real Winnie foster," she sobbed out, at the memory of her replacements grave sight, and just the thought of her. "That grave isn't mine!! I was replaced!! My only family replaced me!!!" Winnie was in complete tears.
"Winnie," Jesse whispered, trying his best to comprehend everything she was saying.
"I drank from the spring!! I loved you to much to live, and I decided I'd rather stand still in time, then die without you." Winnie paused, then continued "I honestly didn't have a clue, as to who I was... Until all my memories just came back."
Without even a thought of staying away from Winnie any longer, Jesse stepped forward and pulled her to him, holding her dearly. This was the first real embrace, he's given her in over a hundred years. "I'm sorry I wasn't there when you came back for me," she whispered,
"Seems fate, is still on our side though," Jesse said sweetly. Winnie just nodded, letting her tears fall freely, and just enjoyed being hugged by him. Being in his arms, she felt so warm, and right... as if she just belonged there.
"Jesse!!" Both Jesse and Winnie broke apart from the embrace, at the sound of Miles' voice. "What the hell are you trying to do?? Do you want her to drink from the spring and get stuck in time??"
Winnie knew she had to say something, but didn't know what. "Miles! Jesse didn't do anything!" Winnie said trying to break the tension that was forming.
"Stay out of this Winnie!! You don't understand!!" Miles shot back, his voice steady and firm.
"But I do understand!" Winnie protested, "I'm the Winnie Foster you all know!! I drank from the spring just as I promised Jesse when I was seventeen!!" While Winnie stood there trying to prove she knew what she was talking about, Jesse grabbed her hand to help her stand her ground better.
"Impossible," Miles said under his breath, just as Winnie noticed that Mr. and Mrs. Tuck also heard, so now all the Tuck's except for Jesse, stared at her amazement.
