Spoilers: The aftermath of that heartbreaking, life changing e-mail that Lexa had sent to Jesse a year ago. (Be sure to read "Two Broken Hearts first or it wont make sense)
Note: Here is an early Christmas gift...another chapter. Well you know what to do (REVIEW) and have a great and happy Christmas,
"Hey Jess, I can't get this computer thing to work." Shalimar said from the main hall
"Can't you get Brennan to help you? I'm busy." He said from his room.
"I can, but I like you better. You're much more sexy looking when working on computers."
"Ya, ya, I'm coming. You know Shal you don't need to sweet talk me." Jesse walked out of his room, with a book in his hand, and one finger in between the page where he left off.
"What is that your reading, big guy?"
"101 ways to get rid of a fear - Ow! I'm just kidding Shal. Its one of Brennan Walt Whitman books."
"Oh, that desperate to read something?"
"You can say that. Now what's wrong with the computer?" Jesse leaded over Shal, looking at the computer screen.
"Nothing, I just wanted you to come out and talk with me."
"Then why didn't you just say that? Shal you are one complex person."
"No Jesse, Lexa was was the compl-"
"Brennan!"
"Oh crap, sorry Jess, I didn't mean to-"
"Hey it's ok. I'm over her. I mean it's been a year. It does not bother me anymore." 'What am I saying? It still bothers me even if I walk past her old room, it gets to me. Dammit Brennan, why in hell did you say her name?"
"Jesse?"
"What?"
"I asked if you want to come with me and Brennan to a club tonight."
"Nah, I'm tired, I think I'll call it a night pretty soon."
"Whatever you say bro."
"We'll be back around eleven."
"Ok, have fun you two."
All the lights were off in Sanctuary; expect a few lamps that illuminated a couch. Jesse sat on a tan love seat, reading his book from earlier. Usually poems were relaxing, but his mind was just skimming the lines, not taking in the meaning of the words. His week was going good, but Brennan has to open his big mouth and mention Lexa. He looked up at the clock, it read 12:30.
'Of course they are late, they always are. Why don't they just say 'hey Jess, we're going to a club, but we don't know what time we'll be back.' Why do they have to lie to me? Man it is so lonely here. When Adam and Emma was here, no one person was alone on nights like these. And when Lexa was a great person to be left alone with, with her it was never boring… damm her.'
"What the hell am I still doing up?" Jesse got up from the couch and headed to his room. He threw the book on his desk, striped down to his boxers, then crawled into bed. Lying down in the dark, slight tears of loneness rolled down his face.
A/N: I know it is a short chapter please don't hurt me. The action is in the next chapters to come. so hold on to your horses.
