Megan silently crept into the library/study. When Damon had given them
a tour of the apartment Megan had instantly fell in love with this
room. There was a big bay window, comfy furniture, and tons of books. She
looked on the desk and she saw Jessica's familiar writing. There were
prints of different clothing designs. On the other side there were
blueprints of buildings. Megan settled down into one of the couches. The moon
lit up the room with a soft romantic glow. She looked at the table
where there were several pictures of Jessica and Damon. They looked like
such a perfect couple but they weren't. Damon was dating a girl named
Kimberley and they had just found out she was pregnant.
Megan looked up at the wall. There were several pictures of the Wakefield's and of the Ross's. In one picture Ned and Alice looked about 20
years younger, Steven was about 5 or 6 and the twins looked about 3.
Megan remembered her sophomore year. It was right around Christmas. She and
Jessica had been out shopping and having a great time when she got a
call the hospital. They told Megan that Mrs. Sandbourne had been in a
terrible accident. Jessica had dropped everything (literally) and drove
Megan straight to Sweet Valley. She stayed with Megan for 3 days then she
drove Megan back to SVU to get her stuff and to get Liz. She asked
Megan to come home with her for the holidays.
They were about to drive back to Sweet Valley when Megan remembered
Connor. Jessica and Connor weren't on speaking terms. At a frat party one
night Connor had gotten drunk and had hit on Jessica. Jessica hadn't
known the punch was spiked and was just a little doozy and had put the
moves on Connor. They hadn't gone to far but they hated each other after
that.
Jessica had put away her hate for Connor in place of her love for Megan
and had invited Connor to her house to. At the Wakefield's everything
had been almost perfect. They looked so different from that picture but
as she had stared into there eyes that Christmas she had seen such a
love in there eyes. She laid her head on the pillow and started to sob.
Jessica was so full of life why had this had to happen to her?
***
Connor walked past the study he thought he heard sobs. He peeked his
head in and saw Megan sitting on one of the couches sobbing. He knew
those tears were for Jessica. Jessica and him hadn't been on speaking terms
for a long part of college but know they both loved each other. They
were brother and sister. Everyone in this house had felt such a sadness
in their hearts even Connor. On the first day of senior year he
remembered walking by her and labeling her and Elizabeth as Barbie's. Barbie's
with perfect families, perfect lives, perfect clothes, perfect hair,
perfect boyfriend, perfect everything. Boy had he been wrong. Jessica had
proved to be a fighter. That's just what she was. When the going got
tough she just didn't quit.
There had been a time when Jessica wasn't with anybody and Connor had
broken up with Elizabeth. He saw Jessica standing out in front of Yum
Yum's and she had looked like a goddess to him. They had locked in on
each other's eyes and it a tingle had went up and down Connor's spine. He
had immediately been disgusted with himself since he and Jessica still
weren't speaking. That night he went to the library and Jessica was
there. They had started talking and soon the library was closing. They
hadn't even realized it was that late. When they went outside it was
pouring rain and Connor felt so connected to Jessica and he could feel she
felt the same. He invited her back to his place. They were joking around
when the kissed. First it was just a couple of innocent pecks but they
started to really make out. They were kissing on the couch and Connor
couldn't control himself. They had made love on his couch.
In the morning they woke up and had actually been happy to see each
other. For the next 2 months they had secretly seen each other. Jessica
spent the night at Connor's house many times but they both realized that
they were betraying Liz even though she didn't know. The both knew they
weren't meant for each other and they had broken up. They had remained
friends and there were times like now Connor remembered their secret
relationship.
Connor broke from his daydream. He realized he was still standing in
the door of the library watching Megan. A single tear slid down his
cheek. He looked up at the ceiling "You've got to make it Jess to many
people love you"
***
Damon shifted restlessly in bed. He knew he should be happy he was
going to be a dad soon but everything with Jessica it was too much. Damon
knew everyone was sad but did they really know what it was like to even
think about losing your best friend. Your ex girlfriend. The girl you've
known for 13 years. He thought for a second. The only person who could
know was Liz. She was losing her sister. Her best friend. Her twin. Her
soulmate. The person she grew up with. Her other half. The girl she had
known since before she was even born. Damon was feeling horrible he
couldn't imagine how Elizabeth felt. His heart went out to her.
He remembered the first time he ever saw her at SVJH. From that moment
he had liked her. There were so many memories of them at Sweet Valley
Junior High. The day he rescued her from a bunch of jerks teasing her at
her locker. Fishing out that rabbit she had been chasing after. Being
asked to be on her Homecoming committee and then taking her to the
dance. Kissing her on the cheek for the first time. Watching her watch his
little sisters. Their first date. Asking her to be his girlfriend.
Goofing around. His crush on a teacher that almost jeopardized their
relationship. Their first fight. Their first real kiss. That field day thing
where he had cheered her on. Holding her. When they had almost broken up
for good when she was going to move to Utah. Making up in her dinning
room and then making out. That was their whole history at just SVJH.
Some much had happened in the years.
He picked up a picture of him and Jessica at the Statue of Liberty. She
was hugging him and grinning like an idiot. He had his arms wrapped
around her and his eyes were sparkling. He stroked the picture of her. If
he could just have one more day with her. One more day to look at old
photo albums, watch old films, bake her brownies, drink coffee, laugh,
hold her. Do anything with her again. Damon put his head on his pillow.
Flashbacks of Jessica came back to him as he fell asleep.

Jeremy sat silently next to Jessica's bedside. All day people had
drifted in and out of her room. He looked at her. She looked so beautiful.
He wished she would wake up. He wanted to marry her. He wanted to spend
the rest of his life with her. As long as she would just wake up.
Jeremy, Jessica, and Rachel would make a perfect family. Jessica was in love
with Jeremy and Rachel, Rachel was in love with Jeremy and Jessica,
and Jeremy was in love with Rachel and Jessica. Come on Jess wake up he
pleaded silently.
If he could have one more day with her he would take her back to Sweet
Valley. They would go to the House of Java, The Riot, Sweet Valley
High, etc. They would make the most of there last day doing everything they
loved to do with each other. Just like they did before broke up. They
hadn't known they were going to break up but college was starting soon
and they had decided to do go visit all the symbolic places in their
relationship.
The last thing they had done was go to House of Java. Alley was there
and was surprised to see them since they both had to quit. They begged
her to let them do one more shift and surprisingly she agreed. They
spent the night serving latte's like the old days and Jessica had called
him Justin all night. Melissa, Cherie, Gina, Lila and Amy had come
in. Jessica had ignored them and gone on with her stuff. Jeremy had
finally realized that Jessica was over that whole fiasco and she had
decided that they just weren't worth her time. Jeremy had been so proud of
her. The next day they broke up. Jessica had said she didn't feel like
they clicked anymore and she wanted to go to college and get a PHD in
guys. Those weren't her exact words but she had said she wanted to explore
other guys. It had been painful for Jeremy but he had realized that
they just weren't clicking anymore. Jeremy had gone to SVU and withdrew
from the school. Here he was now.
Jeremy stared at Jessica's hand. Soon he would place a diamond ring on
her plain slender finger. 10 minutes later he was feeling sleepy but
he noticed a finger move and he was out cold.
