Chapter 3: Coming back to the Past

It was a long drive to the city, but once they got into the limo that last hour went by so fast. It was amazing to see how the scenery went from, middle class condos to million dollar houses in just a few blocks. There were only two houses on each block, maybe three. All of them were different in some way. But as they were getting closer to the house, a strange feeling came and settled at the pit of Jesse's stomach. He had this feeling that he had been here before, but he didn't know when or why until the limo pulled into the huge circler drive way that was before the house. Then it hit him. All the pieces fell together; there was no way he was going to that party. Emma looked at him; she was getting a sense of panic from Jesse.

"Are you okay Jesse." Emma asked.

"Um, I'm suddenly not feeling so hot. I think I'll stay in the car. You guys go have fun." Jesse prayed that they would buy into his lie.

"Oh no you don't, you are not getting out this easy." Shalimar said in a demanding tone.

"Ya man, we are going to have a great time." Brennan said slapping Jesse on the back.

"There is nothing to be worried about, except maybe Brennan taking some souvenirs home." Emma said

"Hey-"

"Emma is right; there is nothing to be nerves about." Adam agreed.

"Okay." Jesse said very uneasily

When the five of them walked into the main hall, their breaths were taken away by how the place looked. Every thing shined and sparkled, everyone was swept away, all except Jesse. He did not see the beauty of the house like the others saw, for when he looked down at the dance floor, he saw his past.

(Flashback)

A 15 year old young boy with dirty blonde hair was dancing with the sixth girl that night. This girl and the others were all alike. At a first glance, any man would fall in love at their beauty. But for this young man, all he wanted to do was get away. It wasn't that his feet was killing him from dancing all night, or the pain in his back and neck, or the headache that was getting worse with each movement. It was because of the girl he was dancing with. For everything that came out of her mouth, and all the other girls he danced with, made him feeling sick. Every girl his mother made him dance with has done nothing but talk how 'daddy' just bought her and new car, but it wasn't the right model, it was a shade to dark, it didn't have the right kind of leader inter or how he bought the car right when it went out of style. Now they are driving around in last months style. Oh how he wished that this night could just end….but there was still 3 more hours to go.

(End Flashback)

"Your name sir." The door man asked as the team walked up to the grand stair case.

"What?" Brennan said a bit confused.

"Your names please, so I can announce you to the people."

"Oh Brennan Malway and Shalimar Fox." As they walked down the stairs the man announced their names for all to hear.

"Mr. Adam Kane." The door man said. "Madame?"

"Emma DeLauro and-"

"And James Crowder." Jesse said very nervously

"Mr. James Crowder and Miss Emma DeLauro."

"Jesse are you okay?" Shalimar asked once they were at the foot of the stairs.

"What's with the fake name?" Brennan said with a smile. Jesse just looked at them; he really did not want to tell them.

"Jesse what is it?"

"This is my mother's house." He said in a whisper.

"What?"

"This is were I grew up."

"What?" They all said in unison. But before anyone could say anything else, and old women came up to them.

"Adam!"

"Mary its so good to see you." Adam hugged the elder woman as she came to him with open arms.

"It's been a long – Alex? Alexander is that you?" Mary asked as she walked over and hugged Jesse. "My how you've grown."

"What?" Brennan was confused

"Mary, I think you have Jesse confused with someone else." Adam told her.

"Still going by your middle name? Your father never called you by your first name either. He said you looked more like a Jesse. That's all poppycock."

"What?" Brennan said again.

"You mean you never told them? His real name is Alexander Jesse Kilmartin."

"Alexander is your name?" Shalimar asked a bit surprise.

"I don't like –"

"Alex speak up we cant' hear you."

"I said, I don't like that name!" Jesse said boldly. Brennan noticed how Jesse was getting very uneasy and how he just wanted to get away.

"Hey Jess, come help me get drinks for the girls."

"Sure." He said as he walked with Brennan to the little bar.

A/N: Wow Its is his house...and Jesse isn't his real name...what is the world coming to?...Okay so i made this all up. But what do you guy think? Good, bad, crappy, cool, tell me what you think...
