Day turned into night and night turned into morning and as the weeks passes it soon was time for the boys to get ready for the showdown everyone- --especially the girls, had been dreading for weeks. As TJ got ready, Spinelli sat with him, trying to convince him not to go.
"Spinelli, I have to go," TJ insisted, putting on a pair of heavy combat boots and lighting a cigarette.
"Jesus Christ, Teej, can't you go one day without smoking? I mean I know you are stressed, but come on it is nasty." Spinelli took the cigarette from his hand and put it out.
"Spin, give it to me, I need it to calm me for tonight." TJ insisted, trying to take it from her.
"TJ, you need to quit, don't you know smoking can kill you?" Spinelli insisted. "First you get involved in the gang and are going to this showdown that can possibly get someone killed, and to top it off you are smoking. What next? Drinking? Unprotected sex? Drugs?"
"OK, mother, I'll quit, after I finish that cigarette and get through tonight." TJ took the cigarette from Spinelli and relit it.
"Well if me lecturing you didn't work, then maybe this will." Spinelli grabbed the cigarette from him and took a long drag, trying not to choke from the smoke that filled her lungs. Trying to tough it out, she took a couple more drags until she couldn't take it anymore and began coughing uncontrollably.
"Spinelli, what the hell are you doing?" TJ asked, wondering why his best friend since forever was doing something as stupid as smoking, even though he did it himself. What he couldn't understand was why was she doing it when she was lecturing him on quitting.
"Something I should have done weeks ago." Spinelli smiled and without warning, took him in her arms and pulled him into a passionate kiss.
"Ewww, Spinelli that's nasty. I feel like I just licked an ashtray!" TJ sputtered as he pulled away.
"Well now you know how I felt when I kissed you on our date last year." Spinelli smirked. "Now will you consider quitting, since you know what it is like kissing a smoker?"
"Fine, you win. Now what do you have planned to keep me from attending the showdown?" TJ asked, looking at her with a suggestive and hopeful look.
"Well, I could lock you in here and rock your world, but one, the guys would probably come here and kidnap you and two, we aren't even dating so us just hooking up would just be pointless." Spinelli smiled, even though it hurt her to say that, because she wanted nothing more than to be with TJ, even though it often seemed like the odds were against them.
"Oh, darn, and I just got a new pair of handcuffs," TJ said in the same joking manner, even though his mind was swirling with the same thoughts Spinelli was having. "But I am glad you care enough about me to help me quit smoking and want me to be safe tonight. You're my best friend, and if I survive tonight, I will do everything in my power to be a better friend. And if for some reason I can't I want you to have my baseball cap." TJ went into his closet and produced his once trademark baseball cap and handed it to her. "This is something that holds special meaning to me, and in case I well, you know, I want you to keep it in memory of me."
"Oh, Teej, please be careful," Spinelli begged as she hugged him close to her, trying her best not to cry. She buried her face into his well toned chest, feeling a sense of comfort in his muscular arms and wishing that he didn't have to risk his life that night over something she felt was stupid and unnecessary.
"I promise, Spinelli, I promise I will try to come back to you," he hugged her back, wishing that circumstances were different, that the battle with the Marshal Black Skullz didn't have to happen, and that he had the courage to tell this wonderful friend in front of him how he truly felt about her.
