Chapter 2
After Colleen had left Genoa City 10 years ago Jt was deeply upset. He thought that he had done something wrong and he went through all kinds of pain. He kept singing for the first year but then couldn't because he was being reminded of Colleen. He told Shilo that he didn't want to sing anymore and she told him he was making a huge mistake.
A year past and his heart was still broken. He tried alcohol to ease the pain, it worked but some how the next morning he'd be back in reality. Raul saw what Jt was doing to himself and quickly forced him into rehab before things got too bad.
Once back from rehab Jt decided to quit school to see what he wanted in life. Jt thought that if he went out with girls he would forget about Colleen. So that's what he did, he went to clubs almost every night bringing home girls so he could sleep with them. He had always imagined what it would feel like to sleep with Colleen, to feel her body against his. He stopped this behaviour once he realized it wasn't helping.
A year later he went back to school for an education, he knew he wanted to be an investigator with Paul Williams. He graduated from University and joined Paul's team. Jt was the next big one, he was solving problems everywhere. Paul soon gave Jt his own office and let him work by himself.
Shortly after Jt met a dancer named Kim. He figured that if he couldn't have Colleen he mine as well find a person who resembles her. She had brown hair just like Colleen. Jt was so in love with Kim that he asked her to move in with him.
It has been 5 years since they moved in together and Jt was thinking about asking her to marry him. Jt wasn't sure if he could every fully give himself to another women.
"Jt, honey, guess what!" Kim said happily as she crossed the living room floor to where Jt was sitting.
Jt still thinking about asking Kim to marry him looked up. He thought to himself how beautiful she looked and how he couldn't live without her. He decided her was going to ask her. "What Sweet?" He responded quickly once he realized his mind was elsewhere.
"Well, you know how I applied to a job at Col's Dance Studio in New York? Well I got it!" Kim danced around the apartment with a great smile on her face while she gave Jt the news.
"Oh my God Kim! This is so great, I can't believe it." Jt smiled as he picked up Kim and hugged her. "When do you start?"
"I'm supposed to fly into New York next week for an interview with the manager. She says that if I can pull off a good interview I have the job." Kim answered.
Jt thought that it would be a great place to propose to her. He just needed the week off of work.
"This is so great! I'm coming with you! I'll be back I have to speak with Paul." Jt said as he rushed out the door,
------------------------------
"Paul! I need to talk to you." Jt said as he rushed into Paul's office.
"Jt, calm down, I'm not going anywhere. Now what do you need to talk about?"
"I was hoping that I could get next week off of work. I know it's short notice but it's important."
"Jt, you've worked for me for a while now and you know that you can't just decide a week before that you're taking next week off. I need you here helping some cases. Why do you have to go next week anyways?" Paul asked.
"I wouldn't ask if it wasn't important, you know that. Here's the story, Kim, my girlfriend is going to New York for a job interview and well I've been thinking about asking her to marry me. I thought New York would be the perfect place." Jt tried to convince Paul.
"OK, fine I'll give your work to George for the time being." Paul finally said as he came to a decision.
"Thanks Paul, I really appreciate your understanding." Jt said as he headed for the door.
"Jt wait!"
"Yea Paul?"
"I'm glad to see you've moved on from Colleen. I'm so glad you're happy again. I can see it in your eyes, Congratulations!"
"I don't know what happened Paul. One day I woke up and realized that I would never get Colleen back and that I would lose something great if I didn't let go. I realized I needed to grow up and forget about her." Jt responded trying to feel happy.
"Have fun on your trip!"
