Same disclaimers as before...and thanks to those of you who left feedback on my last two chapters.
Chapter 3 "She doesn't know this, in fact nobody knows." Jem could tell that Rio was having trouble trying to say whatever he was going to say, and that was making her nervous. "I went over there that night to propose to her." Just then she felt her heart rip into a million pieces. Rio Pacheco, The love of her life actually wanted to marry her, but she blew it. "But after Kimber let me in, and I was sitting there thinking about how many times she left me waiting saying that she was busy or wasn't there. I just....I don't know..I just got fed up with it., I guess." She couldn't believe what she was hearing, "Do you still have feelings for her? "she said trying to loaded back her tears. She was hoping she wouldn't start crying, she couldn't let him know that sh was actually telling Jerrica this. "Yes, I love her with all my heart, and nothings going to change that," he said, "But I don't think it's fair to me that she makes up so many excuses because she isn't there." He paused for a moment like he was trying to get himself together. "Look maybe I shouldn't have come here tod ay. I think I need some time to myself." "It's ok, Rio," Jem said. "Take all the time you need." She was secretly hoping that everything was going to be ok, but she wasn't sure.
"Thanks," Rio said giving her a peck on the cheek. "Thanks for understanding." "Of course," Jem replied. She knew that if he was going to be there for the rest of the rehearsal then there was no way that she could keep from crying, so maybe it was the best for both of them if he left.
After rehearsal, Jem went back to Jerrica and they went to the Starlight mansion. She was still upset about what Rio told Jem. The other girls could tell something was wrong and after annoying Jerrica by asking her what was wrong over and over again, she finally told therm what happened, starting from the night before for Aja and Shana.
I can't believe it,' Aja said.
"You have to tell him," said Shana, "I don't think that he would give Synergy away.' "Exactly what I was thinking," Jerrica said.
"But," said Kimber thoughtfully, "All of that stuff he just told Jem...what would he do once he found out that he was actually telling Jerrica?" "I was thinking about that too," replied Jerrica sadly.
"Why don't you go lie down, Jerrica," Aja said looking at one of her best friends. "It might help you clear your head so you can think...This cant' be very easy for you." I think I'm just going to take a got bath or something like that," Jerrica said getting up. "I'll talk to you guys later." "I've never seen her this down," Aja said after Jerrica left the room. "It's like she's a whole different person, not that I blame her I would probably feel the same way if I found out what she did." "If she's not going to talk to Synergy, then we should." Shana added.
"Wait a minute," Kimber Replied, "She never said that she wasn't going to anyway, we should let her make the decision, she may not like us butting in." "Maybe you're right," Shana said."but I still feel like we should do something." "This is between Rio and Jerrica," said Aja, "We should let her figure out what to do."
