*In this chapter Melissa, Tia, and Will come back into the picture
finally!! I know was thinking about using them but I listed them as main
characters so here they are!*
"Tia do you and Jessica still talk" Will Simmons asked casually. "Will
you've only asked me that like 10 billion times since senior year ended
and yes. She lives in New York City now." Tia Ramirez said. "Hmmm" Will
murmured. "Will your not actually planning to stalk her are you?" Tia
asked her brown eyes filled with concern. "No but I'm thinking of taking
a road trip to see her" Will said. "Taking a road trip to see who?"
Melissa Fox asked coming down wearing only a fluffy blue robe. "Uh Jessica
Wakefield actually" Will admitted. "Jessica Wakefield. Why would you
want to see that slut" Melissa sneered. "You know just see how she is see
how her life's going" he said sounding nonchalant. "You could always
call her," Melissa hissed angrily. "Damn it Liss if I want to see her
that's my business. When are you going to get over your pathetic high
school grudge? We're not even dating anymore!" Will yelled. Melissa sent
both Tia and Will an icy glare and stormed upstairs.

Jessica spotted one of her oldest friends Lila Fowler sipping a latte.
"Hey Li" she said sitting down. "Jess I haven't seen you forever" Lila
said. "Yeah 2 days really is to long" Jessica teased. Lila smiled
warmly. Jessica suspected she was remember 2 days ago when the two of them had gone on a total girl's day out. "Guess what Li. Elizabeth is pregnant
again!" Jessica shrieked. "Really? I still can't believe she and Connor
are still together," Lila said. Lila had never really liked Connor
McDermott. "Well they've had their fair share of trouble but no matter what
they always end up together," Jessica said wistfully. She sighed
wondering why she couldn't find perfect love and settle down with a family of
her own. She felt a sharp pang in her heart. She had expected to settle
down with Nick Fox until he had to join the witness protection program.
A few years later Nick had come out of hiding for a few weeks to see
Jess and ask her to marry him and he had been killed by a druggy
holding a grudge on him. Lila seemed to sense her sadness and patted
her hand. Lila had changed since high school. She was now a loving
generous person. She was still beautiful rich and stubborn but much nicer. The two
girls smiled at each other. They both knew no matter how long they were
single they would have each other.

Jeremy finally decided to go over to Liz. The other woman she had been
talking with had left and now was as good of time as ever. He
approached the table. "Elizabeth Wakefield right?" he said. Elizabeth looked up
but something about her. "Actually I'm Jessica. Elizabeth lives in San
Francisco" Elizabeth/Jessica said. "Your Jessica?" he asked in
disbelief. Jessica nodded "And you are...?" "Jess it's me Jeremy. Jeremy Aames" Jeremy said. Jessica's eyes widened and a grin spread across her face.
Jessica might have looked like Elizabeth but her eyes still held that
mischievous twinkle. Her nose still scrunched up when she smiled. Her smile
could still light up a room and make him feel 10 times happier. "You
know 8 years ago you'd never be caught in that," he teased. "Yeah and 8
years ago I wasn't a fashion designer walking around in the hippest
clothes with a fake smile plastered on my lips most of the week" she replied.
"Well you were a cheerleader. Close enough" Jeremy said smiling.
She laughed. "Here sit down," she said motioning to the chair across
from her. "Did you see that girl who was in here with me a little while
ago?" Jessica asked. "Yeah" "Well do you remember Lila Fowler?" she
asked. The name sounded vaguely familiar. "It sounds familiar." "You know we
stayed at their house after the earthquake. We became best friends
again right before graduation and her dad owned like all of Sweet Valley"
"Oh her!" "Well that was her" "Amazing. So tell me about you Jess" Jeremy
said. "Nothing really to tell. I'm a fashion designer. I live in a big
apartment with my best friend, Damon Ross. I'm basically still the
same," she said. "Have you been married or anything?" Jeremy asked. "Uh
during freshmen year for about 2 months and then I was engaged but my
fiancé got killed. What about you?" she asked. "Well I'm a lawyer. I was
married but then we divorced. I have a daughter, Rachel. I went to the
University of Arizona." Jeremy said not sure what to say. "Oh and I'm an aunt" Jessica added out of the blue. "What?" "Elizabeth. She married Connor McDermott and they had 2 kids and they're expecting their 3rd kid now" Jessica said. "I have only nieces. There soooo cute they look like little mini Elizabeth's" "And you" Jeremy added. "And me" she echoed. Jeremy was a little sad that Elizabeth was now happily married with a family but Jeremy had never really truly loved her. He hadn't truly loved Kate. His heart had belonged to someone else. Through all his girlfriends his heart had belonged to Jessica Wakefield.
