Chapter 12 Title: Ride Of Your Life

Song: Ride Of Your Life by John Gregory

**********************************************************************



Walking, almost running to see Brenda, Jason skids to a stop as he reaches the docks. He looks and finds Brenda sitting on one of the benches staring out at the water. "Brenda?" Surprised she turns around and looks at him, "Hey Jason." "What are you doing out here so late? You shouldn't be here alone at night." Brenda turns back to the water and sighs, "I know, I know. I wasn't going to stay long. In fact I should probably go now. It is pretty late.", Brenda says as she gets up to leave. Jason grabs her hand as she begins to walk away, in effort to stop her, "No! I-I mean I'm here now, stay. Please?"

Wishing on a shooting star

But dreams alone will get you far

Can't deny your feelings anymore

The world is waiting right outside your door

What are you waiting for



Brenda smiles and sits down again, "That has to be the first time you asked me to stay…anywhere." Jason sits down next to her, "Well I just wanted to see you, or talk to you, or just look out at the water, or whatever it was that you were doing when I came." "I was thinking." she tells him. Jason looks at her curious, "About what?" he asks. Brenda takes a deep breath and looks right at him, "You." He smiles and looks away. She continues on to change the subject, "What about you tough guy? What were you running from?" Jason looks at her again, "I wasn't running from anything, I was running…to see you."

You are on your way no looking back

There's no future living in the past

You're free at last yeah

You're free at last



After a long pause of both Jason and Brenda looking at the water, Brenda speaks up. "What were you coming to see me for?" Jason answers her with another question, "Well what were you thinking about me?" Brenda gets up, walks behind the bench and wraps her arms around Jason's neck, "I asked you first." she teases him. "Well I've talked to Emily, Liz, Emily again, and then just tonight Luke," he begins reaching up to touch her arm, "And they all have this theory that I'm falling in love with you." He turns to Brenda so that her arms are still around him, but now he is facing her. Brenda looks at him trying to hold back her excitement, "I've talked to Emily, Liz, and Ned, and they all share that theory, about me falling for you of course, too" Jason looks at her seriously, "Are they right?" he asks eagerly. Brenda stares out at the water again, "No." she answers.



So come on here's your chance.

Don't let it slip right through your hands

Are you ready for the ride of your life yea



Jason looks confused and a little hurt, "What?" "They're wrong." Brenda says as she crouches down in front of him and takes his hands. Jason who is beyond hurt drops her hands, "I'm sorry, it was probably a waste for me to come here then if you were just--" Brenda grabs his hands again and he looks at her quieting down, "Jason they are wrong, I'm not falling in love with you…and it's for a lot of reasons, the main one being I think… I think I'm already there." Jason is completely surprised by this, "What did you say?" She reaches up and touches his face, "I love you Jason." He smiles at her still shocked. A few seconds go by and Brenda's nerves grow calm when Jason looks at her again. "Hey Brenda?" he begins. "Yeah Jason?" Jason takes a deep breath and smiles at her, "I love you too." He stands up and pulls her up too. Brenda looks at him and says simply, "Good. Because I was hoping you would." Jason pulls Brenda into his arms and they kiss.

Dreams are alright and go nowhere

Just reach out and pull them in and

Get ready for the ride of your life

Ride of your life
