Never Got Over You

Chapter 2- Slowly but Surely

A/N: Thanks for the reviews! I really hope I satisfy you with this chapter…it's written in Liberty's POV so things should get interesting….

I took my key and unlocked the door as JT waved and beeped his horn. It was such a relief to be able to talk to him again, after all that had happened.

I mean, I know I was hard on him…but I couldn't help it. It's just the way I am. Throughout the whole pregnancy…I thought I could do it on my own. Apparently not. And it's not like we could even pay for that apartment. The whole thing just was a huge massacre.

"Liberty, hey. Surprised to see JT dropping you off."

Of course, Danny's sitting there, playing his video games on the family TV.

"Hey Danny. And just in case you cared, JT and I are talking again. And I'm happy." I responded, plopping my backpack next to the sofa. I went into the kitchen and grabbed a soda.

"Well, I guess that's a good thing. Maybe, just maybe he learned a bit from last year." Danny said. I glared at him.

"JT's been depressed for the last year. And he's definitely matured…we were talking in the car. We were talking about collages and stuff." I said.

"Wow, JT actually cares about his future. Whatever…if you're happy that's all I care about." Danny said, in a somewhat caring way. I smiled and went upstairs.

At School the Next Day:

JT came by the house early in the morning, which was really nice for him to do. He even got me a latte from the Dot! It felt great as we drove to school, just like old times…except this time, it was a lot better.

"Well, I'll see you later! Thanks for the latte." I said as I got out of JT's car. He smiled and waved goodbye.

Refreshed, I headed into school. Once I got to the Library, I sat down and waited for the rest of the Student Council to arrive.

"So, prez, what's the next big dance going to be like?" Toby asked. He leant back in the chair as he waited for an answer.

"I don't know, anyone have any ideas?" I asked. I got a bunch of blank stares as a response.

And, of course, the bell had to ring.

"Well, this was successful." I said. Everyone got up and left as I remained in my chair, writing some ideas for the dance. By myself, as always.

"So, a dance?"

JT leant against the doorway, sipping on his latte. He always looks so hot…

"Yeah. I got squat from the council, so any ideas would be helpful." I responded, getting up.

"Well, since it's February, why don't we have a Cupid-Theme dance?" JT suggested.

"Hmm…I don't know. We already had the computer match up thing 2 years ago…" I said.

"Or maybe something with a king and queen?" JT said, trying to think of ideas.

"That's great JT! The king and queen of Valentine's Day!" I said, ecstatic.

"You're seriously going to use that?" JT said, really shocked.

"Why wouldn't I? Thanks!" I responded, embracing JT in a hug. He hugged me back, happy and confused at the same time.

After School, at the Dot:

I sat down at a table and waited for a waitress to serve me. JT said he'd be here soon…I could only hope so.

10 minutes later, JT tredded into the restaurant and sat down.

"JT, hey!" I said. It was nice to be in a good mood again.

"Hey. Sorry for the delay, stupid first time drivers always blocking my way!" JT said jokingly. I laughed a little at the joke.

"It's ok. I'm just glad you're here." I responded. JT smiled a little.

"Hey guys!"

Emma came over to our table, really surprised to see JT with me. She should really get used to it…

"Wow, so you guys are talking again?" Emma asked.

"Yeah, surprisingly. Things are better." JT said. He took a sip of his water.

"That's great, really. Glad to see you smiling. Well, have fun guys." Emma said. Apparently she hated the thought of me and JT…

"What was that all about?" I asked JT. He looked down at the floor, trying to think of a good answer.

"Well, Em's been my emotional support for the last year, so it really shocked her to see us talking." JT said.

"Oh…I see. Well, she's going out with Peter right?" I said, hoping I was right.

"Was, they're taking a little break right now…long story. Anyways…" JT explained, changing the subject.

I didn't want Emma getting into this. She didn't even like me, let alone that she didn't like me and JT together. We don't even know where this is going…but I know that Emma is JT's best friend and she's just concerned. I just hope nothing gets really serious…
