Chapter 18:
RAW May 10th:

Jennifer walked through the doors of the building shortly after RAW started, she had taken a later flight and had just gotten there since she had to take care of some last minute things concerning Danny.

"Oh my God Jennifer--are you okay?" Stacy asked as she saw Jennifer walk past catering.

Jennifer turned around and was met with a fierce hug from Stacy, Jennifer smiled and hugged her back, "I'm doing better," she said once the two pulled away.

"I was looking for you earlier---" Stacy started and hesitated as she said, "And so was Randy."

Jennifer sighed as she heard his name, she looked at Stacy, "Stace I don't think--"

"He's really worried about you," Stacy interrupted. "I could tell he really wanted to see you--you should go talk to him."

"I--I suppose I should", Jennifer said quietly as she looked down the hall, "Where--"

"Near the curtain last I saw," Stacy finished for her.

Jennifer nodded and took a deep breath, "Here goes nothing", she said as she headed down the hall.

-----------------------

Jennifer immediately caught the sight of Randy when she turned the corner right where Stacy said he was, he was busy talking to Stephanie and Paul so he didn't notice her.

Jennifer thought about turning around but her body pulled her forward towards the three, she grew more nervous as she came closer and Stephanie turned her head and smiled at Jennifer, "Oh Jennifer! How are you doing?" she said as she pulled Jennifer into a small hug.

Jennifer returned the gesture and caught Randy looking at her with concerned eyes, she pulled away and smiled, "I'm fine" she answered.

"Well, we better get going Paul and let these two talk--I'll catch you later okay Jen?" Stephanie said as she pulled Paul away.

"All right see ya," Jennifer waved to the two. She then turned her attention to Randy, who looked like he was trying to figure out what to say.

The two stood there in silence until Randy broke the ice, "I didn't think you'd come back," he admitted.

"I didn't think I would either," Jennifer confessed, "but--I had some time to think and it would've been wrong for me to leave under such bad circumstances."

Randy nodded and sighed as he rubbed the back of his neck, "I--I missed you," he said softly as he looked at her.

"I missed you too", Jennifer whispered as she stepped closer to Randy, "Look Randy I know last week we--"

Randy interrupted, "I've thought about last week and I don't blame you if you never want to talk to me again---I made a stupid mistake and I know there's nothing I can do to change that but I just want you to know that I'm sorry and--"

"It's okay Randy" Jennifer said, "I totally blew things out of order and I should've listened to your side but I was being a total bitch--"

"Your not a bitch--I deserved everything you said to me" Randy interrupted.

"So you wanna just--forget last week?" Jennifer asked.

Randy nodded and took her hand, "I do." Jennifer smiled and ran her other hand through Randy's short hair, "Friends?" she asked.

Randy was slightly disappointed but said, "Friends."

Jennifer wrapped her arms around Randy and hugged him tight, she pulled away after a few moments, "Well I better let you get back to working so I'll see you later?"

"Yeah" Randy said as he watched Jennifer turn to leave, Randy grabbed her arm and said, "Jen?"

Jennifer turned back to him, "Yeah?" she replied.

"Do you think--" Randy hesitated and sighed, "Never mind."

Jennifer looked confused as she asked, "You sure?"

"Yeah--I'll see you later," Randy said as he turned away.

Jennifer shrugged her shoulders and went to look for Stacy, she found her around the corner with Nidia. "Eavesdrop much?" she laughed when she saw the two.

Stacy and Nidia quickly straightened up and said at the same time, "We weren't eavesdropping!"

"Surre," Jennifer laughed.

"You know that's the first time I've seen you really laugh" Stacy commented. Nidia coughed, "Randy!" when she said this.

Jennifer put her hands on her hips and said, "Funny." The three girls laughed as they walked down the hall, things were looking up already.

After the show:

Jennifer was waiting by the men's locker room for Randy to finish up when Michael came up from behind her with a huge smile on his face.

"What are you so happy about?" Jennifer questioned as she saw Michael hold out his cell phone to her.

"Talk," was all he said as he shoved the phone to her. Curious, Jennifer took the phone and asked questioningly, "Hello?"

"Jen?" asked a voice.

Jennifer smiled, "Hey Rebecca, What's up?"

"You'll never guess what came in the mail for you today," Rebecca said excitedly.

"What came in the mail?" she asked as she looked at Michael, who stood there smiling like a madman, she waved at Randy who had just came out of the locker room.

"A certain acceptance letter from a certain college in the Northeast," Rebecca hinted.

Jennifer's eyes widened, "You mean--"

"You got into Princeton!" Rebecca said excitedly over the phone.

Jennifer screamed and jumped up and down, "Oh my God!" she said into the phone.

"See? I told you things will get better--I better let you go out and celebrate," Rebecca said.

"Oh my God---thanks for telling me Rebecca," Jennifer said as she said her good byes and hung up, she gave the phone back to Michael and jumped into Randy's arms.

"I got in Randy! I got in!" she yelled. Randy looked confused as he sat her down on the ground and watched as she hugged Michael.

"Got into where?" Randy asked.

"I'M GOING TO PRINCETON!" Jennifer yelled as she jumped up once more, "This is so great!"

"Someone as smart as you I don't see how they couldn't let you in," Michael said.

Jennifer smiled, and hugged Randy once more, "Aren't you happy for me?" she asked.

Randy put on a smile and said, "Of course babe--I'm proud of you!" Randy watched as Jennifer ran down the hall to tell Stacy and Andrew, Michael laughed at her hyperness and patted Randy on the back, "She won't leave until the fall ya know?" he said as saw the look on Randy's face.

Randy sighed, "Like it matters," he said sadly as he headed out. He was happy for Jennifer, but he also didn't want her to leave. Sure all she wanted was to be friends but that doesn't mean he doesn't love her any less, now he must face the harsh reality of living without the one person that he couldn't live without.
