Hey, here's another speedy update! (NB. this is not likely to happen with anything else I write so enjoy it while it lasts!)
It's only because it's all already written!
Oooh thanks for your review T.I.G. and for your comments. They are rather short shots I've realised but I probably won't be making the rest any longer because I don't want to change them, sorry peeps, but I might extend on some ideas in different fics and they'll be longer.
Thanks for reading and keep reviewing, it makes my day lol!

I have to deal with it right?
We've both got pasts, history, people we were meant to marry.
Jimmy.
Rebecca.
But I was never meant to marry Jimmy, not in the soul-mate sense, only in the eyes of society, of my father. I was meant to be with Sandy, to marry Sandy, to love Sandy.
But Rebecca?
Why do I find it so hard to let her go?
>
I should, Sandy managed with Jimmy. He hated the guy, hated him as a boy, his lazy trust-fund-will-fix-it attitude, his ease
at the whole ex-boyfriend thing, his jealousy, the fact that he kissed me.
He had a right to, the guy still held a candle for me, but he got over it, they became friends. But there's just no way I can
see Rebecca and I sitting down for coffee any time soon, any time, ever.
She's the one causing all the problems, she is doing this to me and she knows it. She has Sandy on a string and she's
jerking it pretty hard.

Jump Sandy, jump! How high will you jump for me Sandy?
And he does it; he stops and leaves to jump through her damn hoops.
>
I guess I'm just being selfish and spoilt; I'm used to having Sandy to myself.
I don't deserve him; I spend my time jumping (never high enough in dad's opinion) for my father.
I admit it, I jump so high I move out of time with Sandy. But every time, he's there, jumping through my hoops without me
even asking, catching me when I fall.

Everything he's done and I'm so pathetic.
I trust him, I do, it just shouldn't be this hard.
The three R's, they're my fences, first Ryan, (and I wouldn't have it any other way now) then Rachel, (we made it, it made
us stronger, made us make time) now Rebecca.

I'm just afraid to ask how high.
