CHAPTER TEN
"Scott? Are you ok?" Jessica asked. Scott didn't answer. "You haven't said a word since the wedding. I know your thinking of her. Do I have to slap you like last time?" She asked.
"Please, just leave me alone!" Scott said as he looked out the window of the plane.
"I can't do that!" She said.
"Why?" He asked, getting aggravated.
"Because I wouldn't be a good friend if I did." She said. "You know its not to late to get her back."
"Not to late? Jessica are you brain dead? She's married!" He said.
"There's always divorce." Jessica said.
"Just, shut up ok! Can you do that?" He asked. Jessica sighed and got up from her seat.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"Away from you. Come get me when you're ready to talk!" She said as she walked to an empty seat next to an old woman. Scott sighed and looked out the window.
His mind never left the thought of Shelby, with Matt. He could hear the way it would sound for her to say I do. Then he looked over at Jessica. She was sitting there, talking to this old woman. She seemed so interested in what this woman had to say. He watched her laugh and respond to the woman's jokes. He turned back to the window.
"Scott, honey?" He heard Jessica's voice.
"What?" He asked, not wanting to know what she was going to say.
"This is Martha, Martha, this is my husband Scott." Jessica said with a smile.
"It's so lovely to meet you Scott, Jessica told me what happened, but don't you worry, I'm sure you mother wont mind to much." Martha said.
"What?" He asked confused.
"I'm going to have to ask you to go back to your seats, we're about to land." A Stewardess said.
"It was lovely meeting you Jessica, and you too Scott. Cheer up, it's not the end of the world." She said as she walked back to her seat. Jessica plopped down next to Scott.
"Hey!" She said with a smile.
"What was that about?" He asked.
"I told her that you forgot to feed your mom's bird and the bird died." Jessica said. "But don't worry, Martha is sure everything will be ok in the end." She said.
"You are so retarded!" Scott said.
"That's why you love me honey." Jessica said as she took Scott's hand into hers and kissed his cheek. She was surprise when he didn't pull his hand away.
"Oh you are so wrong!" Scott said.
"What do you mean dear?" Jessica asked.
"I'm only with you for your money. I don't love you and I didn't forget to feed the bird, I purposely didn't feed it. It was always chirping and singing. It deserved to die!" Scott yelled. Martha turned to look in shock.
"Scott, but I love you!" Jessica said. Scott pulled his hand away.
"Well that's to bad, because I've been sleeping with your grandmother!" Scott said and looked at Martha, who was shocked. He winked at her and puckered up his lips. She turned around in shock and disgust.
"MY GRANDMOTHER!" Jessica yelled. "HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME!" She asked.
"What can I say, I like older woman!" He said and looked at Martha again, she quickly turned around.
"Well you won't get anything from me, not a penny or our baby!" Jessica cried as she unbuckled her seat belt and got up to go sit with Martha again. Just then, the plane went downward. Jessica flipped over a seat and fell down the isle.
"JESSICA!" Scott cried as he unbuckled his seat belt and slowly made his way to her so he wouldn't fall.
"Oh my goodness, that poor girl and baby!" Martha cried along with various other screams of panics in the background.
When Scott finally got to Jessica, she was unconsouis and he head was bleeding. The plane then went back to its normal position and landed. Stewardess ran to Scott and Jessica.
"Well told you stay seated, please sure move back you've caused enough damage to the poor girl!" One lady said.
"No, but I-"
"Sir, please." She said. "Everyone please exit the plane and thank you for flying. Have a nice day." She instructed everyone. Everyone slowly exited the plane, all whispering and gasping.
"I didn't mean for this to happen." Scott said as tears rolled down his cheeks. Paramedics came rushing in.
"Sir I have to ask you to leave the plane." She said.
"No I can't leave her, she's my best friend."
"Yeah you proved that today now please go." She said as she started walking him to the exit.
"But she's all I have left!" He cried.
"Sir please." She said.
"Miss, miss are you ok?" The paramedic asked.
"Scott, where's Scott?" Jessica softly asked.
"Jessica, I'm right here." He said as he ran to her side and took her hand. "Are you ok? I'm so sorry I didn't mean for this to happen." Scott said.
"Someone please get him out of here before he upsets her again!" A paramedic said.
"Sir please!" The stewardess said.
"Miss, there is a good chance that you have lost the baby!" The paramedic said.
"I'm not pregnant." Jessica said softly.
"She's delirious." He said.
"No, I'm not, I'm ok." Jessica said. "I'm not pregnant, it was all just to get my husband to stay with me." She said.
"And I'm not really with your grandmother, it's your best friend. But only once and I'm sorry. I love you Jessica!" Scott said.
"I forgive you." Jessica said. Scott helped her up.
"They gave you a Scooby Doo Band-Aid honey, it's on your forehead." Scott said. He picked her up and started carrying her off the plane.
"I have a headache!" Jessica whispered.
"You can sleep when we get to my place." He whispered back.
"Sir, we must get her to a hospital for further examination and to make sure the baby is ok!" The paramedic said.
"But I'm not pregnant, really I'm ok." She said.
"I'm sorry we can't chance it!" He said. "We have to check on that baby!" He said. Scott put Jessica down for a minute and took the paramedic aside. Jessica stood there while Scott whispered to the paramedic.
"Well what about her head?" He said.
"It looks like she just cut it a little, nothing big." Scott said.
"All right, but if anything goes wrong, don't blame me." The paramedic said. Scott walked to Jessica and picked her up.
"What did you say to him?" Jessica asked when they were away from them.
"That I was not able to produce sperm so there cant be a baby." Scott said. Jessica smiled and laughed. "Are you ok?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'll be fine." Jessica said.
"You scared me when you fell like that. We have to stop making up these lies for people." Scott said.
"YOU!" Scott and Jessica heard a loud voice. "You put that poor girl down right now!" It was Martha.
"What? Martha no you don't understand." Jessica began.
"Don't tell me your taking him back. You deserve better than a pig." She said. Scott put Jessica down.
"Martha, this is Scott my best friend, not husband. It was all a joke." Jessica said.
"A Joke? I don't believe it. Its kids like you that make this world a rotten place." Martha said.
"It just got out of hand and I'm ok. I'm really sorry." Jessica said.
"He is still a pig and you need to drop him!" Martha said and walked away.
"Please Jessica, lets go home!" Scott said.
Jessica and Scott grabbed their bags and headed home. Scott drove since Jessica had hurt her head. She laid her head on the back of seat and closed her eyes.
"Jessica, we're at my place!" Scott whispered. Jessica opened her eyes.
"My head hurts!" She said. Scott walked around to the passenger side and picked her up. He carried her up to his apartment and put her onto his bed. He went to her feet and took off her shoes and socks then pulled the covers over her. He looked at her, her eyes were closed. She looked so peaceful and beautiful. He slowly bent down and gently kissed her forehead before grabbing the extra pillow and walked to the couch to sleep.
Jessica woke up the next morning. She looked around and sat up. Her head still hurt a little. She walked to the living room and saw Scott sleeping on the couch. She smiled at how cute he looked.
"Scott?" She whispered and gently shook him. He opened his eyes.
"Hey, how do you feel?" He asked.
"My head still hurts but a lot better. You didn't have to give me your bed." She said.
"Hey, you were hurt and you would do the same for me." He said.
"Well I'm gonna go ahead home. You can go get into your bed." She said and headed for the door.
"Don't leave!" He said. "It's early."
"Well what do you want me to do?" She said.
"Go get back into my bed." He said and yawned.
"I can't let you sleep on the couch." She replied.
"Then I'll come with you!" He said. He got up and dragged her back into his room. They lied on the bed next to each other.
"How are you feeling?" Jessica asked.
"I don't feel!" He said.
"What do you mean you don't feel?" She asked.
"I gave my heart to Shelby. Unfortunately, she ripped it out and threw away." He said.
"Well you still have me." She said. She looked deep into his eyes and ran her fingers through his hair. "Don't worry about her." She said.
"I love her so much, she is the only one for me." He said and turned over onto his back.
"Have you tried seeing other girls?" Jessica asked.
"Yeah!" He said.
"I'm serious Scott, I don't mean your one night stands and the few times we've kissed. I mean seriously get with someone." She asked.
"No, I don't want anyone but Shelby!" He said sadly.
"Do you want to die alone?" She asked.
"No!" he said.
"Well you're going to because Shelby is married and inlove. You have to move on. She isn't your one true love because if she was she would love you back." Jessica said.
"Do you think you're my one true love?" He asked. "I mean I know you like and all." He said.
"No, I don't think I am." She said and turned over onto her back and stared at the ceiling.
"Why not?" He asked.
"Because I do like you but you don't like me back so I'm not going to waste my time worrying about it." She said. "My true love is out there." She sighed.
"How do you know I don't like you back?" He asked. Jessica turned and looked at him. He pushed the hair that had fallen in front of her face behind her ear.
"Do you like me?" she asked.
"No, I was just wondering how you knew." He said and smiled.
"That's not funny." She said.
"It had you wondering didn't it?" He chuckled.
"This was suppose to be a serious moment." Jessica said.
"I know but it was to serious and you're not a serious person. It was scaring me for a second." He laughed.
"You really should move on though!" She said and looked back towards the ceiling.
"I know and I will eventually. When I do, you'll be the first to know." he said. He kissed her cheek and closed his eyes and fell back asleep. Jessica stared at the ceiling until her eyes eventually closed and she fell asleep.
"Scott? Are you ok?" Jessica asked. Scott didn't answer. "You haven't said a word since the wedding. I know your thinking of her. Do I have to slap you like last time?" She asked.
"Please, just leave me alone!" Scott said as he looked out the window of the plane.
