Courtney swallowed down the tears as she drove. She knew that she needed to break up with AJ, but there were two things keeping her from it. Fear that he'd kill himself, and fear that he'd kill her. She pulled into the parking lot of the school and started walking toward the crowded doors. She scanned the faces. "Courtney!" She heard from behind her

Jason killed the engine, using so much strength not to cry. He grabbed his Walkman and turned on the radio and started for class. He came to a screeching halt when he heard what song was coming on. Just then Courtney turned and saw Carly coming up behind her, and Jason staring at her with a longing, painful look.

Soft heavenly eyes gazed into me transcending space and time there were no words to find at all as I stood there beside myself I could see you and no one else

She seemed blinded to everything else as Jason pushed through the crowd. He was thinking the same thing, but he needed to pretend as if he did not even know her. It wasn't working. You could take just one tiny look into his face and tell in a heartbeat that he loved this woman, and that she was all that mattered to him. The same was going for Courtney. He pushed his way through the crowd, so he was next to her. They kept stealing casual, and yet meaningful, longing gazes at each other.

When I saw you When I saw you I could not breathe I feel so deep When I saw you When I saw you I'd, I'd never be the same

This had impacted both Jason and Courtney in a way that they had not thought possible. They thought that they'd see each other and it would be okay. But this wasn't okay. This hurt so terribly. But it seemed to wake them up inside. As if they had been in a deep, deep sleep their entire life and were just now waking up. It was just so . . . surreal. They were trying not to believe in the pain, to think their way out of it But with one more gaze they knew that this was an extreme pain, the kind that you can't just think your way out of. And they knew that they would never be the same.

Only once in a lifetime love rushes in changing you with the tide and dawn's ribbon of light bursts through the dark wakening you inside and I thought it was all untrue until all at once I knew

Jason moved closer to her, they were standing shoulder to shoulder, and they didn't look at each other. He reached over and gripped her thigh with his masculine, strong hand. He was lucky that nobody could see with the mass of people. She closed her eyes and inhaled through her nose deeply, she could hardly contain the urge now. He continued rubbing her thigh this way and it driving Courtney wild. They finally came to a hallway where they had to separate. They stopped in the small open area where people were separating. She lipped silently to him I love you. He lipped back I love you more. She shook her head no and he gave a half-hearted smile.

When I saw you when I saw you I could not breathe I feel so deep when I saw you when I saw you I'd never, I'd never be the same

They didn't need to say anything to each other. They just stood there staring at each other, having a conversation with their eyes. Their eyes told them everything that they needed to know. She read his "I love you Courtney, I always will, I will be your hero until the end of time. You filled me when I didn't know I was empty and I will love you forever, forever! You are the one for me!" And hers seemed to scream to him "I love you! I need you! You light up my life with all that you do and all that you are. Someday I will hold you in my arms and tell you how everything is going to be okay as you have for me. I will be with you always. You are the one for me" They were trying to hide it from the rest of the world but it was evident beyond words. Their love. They couldn't feel beginning of their love, and they knew there would be no end. Courtney wasn't strong enough to turn away, and Jason knew that. So he gathered all his strength and walked away, every step growing in complexity. It didn't feel right that he was walking in this direction. He felt lost because Courtney wasn't there. When she could no longer see him, she turned and walked to her locker.

With no beginning and without an end you are the one for me It's evident And your eyes told me so Your eyes let me know When I saw you when I saw you I could not breathe I feel so deep When I saw you When I saw you I'd never be the same When I saw you
