Authors Note: Sorry it's been so long. I've been busy with school and
soccer, but soccer season is over now so I should have the chapters up more
often. Hope it was worth the wait, so feedback is most definitely wanted!
"Katie!" Jessie whispered as she checked the clock. They had been lying in the hammock on the deck extending from Katie's room for hours. "It's 8:30!" My dad is going to kill me!" "No worries Jess. I called him before and he said you could spend the night. Your stuff is already in my room." Jessie smiled. Katie thought of everything way before it even occurred to Jessie.
Soliloquy Jessie: Sometimes I feel like Katie can read my mind. *Glances over at Katie, who is reading a book, her hair falling over her face.* She says just what I want to say. And plus, she's beautiful.
"Penny for your thoughts?" Katie inquired. "I was just thinking." "About me?" Katie suggested. "Oh, don't be so conceited!" "HAH! I was right!" Katie exclaimed triumphantly. "Okay, okay. I WAS thinking about you. You win." Jessie admitted. Katie looked stunned. "You really were? I was just kidding!" "Oh please, you know I only think about you. Well, you and a few other things." Jessie grinned up at Katie menacingly. "Oh yeah, like what?" Katie snarked. "Like this." Jessie reached up and caught Katie's lips with her own. "mmm. I like the way you think." Katie mumbled through Jessie's lips.

Katie blinked as the sun streamed into her eyelids. They had fallen asleep in the hammock. Sometime during the course of the night a blanket had graced them with its presence. Katie pulled the blanket up over Jessie and proceeded to watch her as she slept.
Soliloquy Katie: she looks so peaceful. It seems like it would be a crime to disturb her.
Just then, Jessie stirred. She blinked confusedly. "Wha?" "We fell asleep in the hammock." Katie supplied to the confused Jessie. "Oh. No wonder my neck feels stiff." Jessie laughed as Katie started to massage her shoulders. "We really should get ready for school." Jessie reminded her. "Oh, right. That big place we go 5 days a week for what? Absolutely nothing." Katie griped. She got up and walked into her room, loading a CD into her player. The opening notes of the new SARCASM EP filled the room. Jessie watched her in awe as she sang along and picked out her outfit. She looked so beautiful as she moved rhythmically to the rock music. It seemed as if Katie had forgotten the world existed, because she started to undress. Jessie cleared her throat, bringing Katie back down to earth. "Sorry!" Katie blushed. "It's okay. I didn't mind." Katie smiled.

"Jess!" Katie yelled down the hallway. Jessie looked up from her locker. "What?" "Hi!" Jessie laughed, as she hit Katie on the arm. "I thought something was wrong you jerk." "Oh, did you hear?" Katie asked her, looking serious. "What?" Everyone is talking about us." Jessie looked at Katie in fright. "What, why?!" Katie realized Jessie was actually scared. "I was kidding Jess. Why would anyone be talking about us? We're just friends." Jessie looked relieved. "Just friends." She confirmed. Jessie turned to go to class. She didn't notice the crushed look on Katie's face as she walked away.
-----
Soliloquy Katie: I know she's afraid. It just hurts when she denies that she and I, well, are together. I wish she would just come out sometimes. But I won't push her. I would wait forever for her.
Katie threw her bag on her bed as she was walking to her computer. She logged online and searched her buddy list for someone to talk to. When she saw Jessie's screen name, she instantly clicked IM. Then she clicked out of it. "I can't talk to her, not now." She thought to herself. She put an away message up just as Jessie IMed her.
SuNdAy HoLiDaY: hey Kat. Auto response from gArDeNiA sUnDaY: and you're my good feeling. I'm kneeling inside a room, she paints me blue. And you are my reason for breathing. Inside a room, she paints me blue again. [Something Corporate] SuNdAy HoLiDaY: Kat, talk to me. SuNdAy HoLiDaY: please!
Katie read the messages Jessie left her and sighed. She turned the monitor off and took out her journal. Grabbing a pen from her back pack, she started to write.
-----
Jessie sighed as she logged off. She couldn't figure out why Katie wasn't talking to her. All day at school she had ignored Jessie like she didn't even exist! Ever since Katie had joked with her in the hallway. "Shit!" Jessie exclaimed as she realized why Katie wouldn't talk to her. She pulled a piece of paper out of her binder and snagged a pen off her desk. "A letter got us here, now maybe a letter can fix it." She thought as she hastily scribbled a letter to Katie.
