Randy slowly laid Stacy down his own bed. He started to brush away strands of hair that covered her face. Randy looked at he peacefully sleeping. He was glad she was sleeping, he didn't want to see Stacy's troubled face again. He held her hand so close to his heart, wishing that by doing this, Stacy could feel that his heart only beats for her.
His thoughts broke when he heard voices. He kissed Stacy's hand before letting it go. He stood up and went to see who was making the noise.
"Don't worry… No one's gonna hurt you anymore. If this isn't the end of the worst, I'm ready. I'm ready to face it just for you Stace." He whispered softly to her ear and closed the door. Randy shook his head. He couldn't believe himself. A few moments earlier he was about to give up and let go of her. Then he realized, he had never been this inlove with a girl. So inlove that he's ready to risk his all just to have her. So inlove that no matter what misunderstandings that would get in their way, he's ready fight them all just to be with her in the end. He sighed and proceeded to the noise.
"Who's there?" he asked cautiously but he didn't wait for an answer because the closer he gets, the more he recognized the voices. He was left dumbfounded. He had never heard these voices in a fight before.
"Trish? Jeff?" he asked in disbelief. The pair looked at him in return. Randy saw Trish's tear-streaked face. Jeff looked like he was in the verge of tears.
"What's going on?" he asked as he stood next to Trish.
"Don't stand so close to her Randy or you'd get dirty." Jeff said with a sneer, Randy immediately got what Jeff meant of what he said. Maybe Jeff has found out about Trish's connection with Andrew Martins.
"Jeff! Please don't do this to me! You're hurting me…" Trish pleaded and tried to hold Jeff's hand but Jeff's eyes were so cold like ice and yet they were burning with anger.
"Why Trish, did you ever think of whether I'm going to get hurt before you went to Andrew?" Jeff asked her with hostility in his voice. Randy knew that if Trish is "hurting" so is Jeff. Maybe he's even hurting more than Trish. He had seen how much Jeff loves Trish and then…
"I… I'm sorry. I just love you so much Jeff that I don't wanna loose you." Trish tried to explain but Jeff cut her off roughly.
"Love? Are you sure about love Trish? Because you know what, when you love someone, you've got to have trust! And yet… and yet…" Jeff couldn't take it anymore, he did one thing he had never done for so long. He broke down and cried. Randy didn't know what to do… he was standing there with his mouth open, he had never seen Jeff like this.
"Jeff… Jeff…" Trish couldn't say anything but Jeff's name. Jeff tried to pull her off him. Trish was cling on to him like he was her life and if she let go, it's going to be the end of her.
And then a door opened and Stacy walked in. she looked so frail and so tired. She must have been awake by the noise made by Jeff and Trish. She tucked strands of hair behind her ear to clear the view in front of him. It was Jeff's face she first saw, she couldn't understand what emotion he was feeling. He looked so angry and yet sad and a bit of pity.
"What's going on?" she asked slowly and her gaze fell upon Trish. Trish's reaction was unbelievable. First she was crying and pleading in front of Jeff and the next took them all by surprise. She became so angry at the sight of Stacy that she ran to her and started slapping her before anyone could react.
"You bitch! This is all your fault!" Trish exclaimed and pulled Stacy's hair and Stacy who was so weak and tired, was so helpless under Trish's hands.
"Trish! Get off me!" Stacy yelled but she wouldn't listen. Randy came first to his senses and ran to the two girls and tried to pull them apart.
"Jeff, help me!" he called over to the other person in the room. Jeff immediately ran to Trish and pulled her away from Stacy.
"What's wrong with you?" Jeff demanded to Trish.
"I hate you Stacy! I hate you!" she yelled to the other blonde. "Jeff don't you know, she's the reason? She wants to take you away from me?" Trish said to him like a little girl.
"What's your problem?" Stacy demanded weakly.
"She's been wanting you Jeff. And you… you! You want her too!" Trish said in a sudden angry voice.
"You wanted to leave me because of her!" Trish said and started slapping Jeff. Jeff was so shocked of what he was hearing.
"What!" Stacy asked, her eyes looking from Randy to Jeff then to Jeff.
"Stop it Trish!" Jeff hissed at her as he held her from behind.
"Jeff? Jeff… I love you so much. I love you… you know that right?" her voice suddenly went from fierce to a childlike one. She turned to look at Jeff and cupped his face in her hands.
"Don't leave me please… Stacy was trying to take you from me." She said in a delirious voice.
"Trish are you alright?" Jeff asked, he was no longer angry. He was getting worried. What was going on with Trish? She doesn't seem right.
"Trish honey? Are you okay?" he asked again and tried to look at Trish straight in the eyes but Trish doesn't seem interested to look at him in return. She was looking around the room muttering to herself.
"Stacy are you okay?" Randy asked her and kissed the top of her head.
"I trusted her. I trusted her! She's my best friend!" Stacy cried on Randy's chest.
"Hush now babe. I'm here." Randy comforted her and caressed her back.
"Guys… Trish doesn't seem alright…" Jeff said worriedly as he continued to hold on Trish. Randy and Stacy looked at him curiously and Trish. They got what he meant.
"I'll call a hospital…" Randy said and guided Stacy to a seat before picking up the phone. Randy quickly dialed a number.
"Someone's coming. Don't worry." Randy said to Jeff but it doesn't seem to have an effect on Jeff because he was still worried sick for Trish.
"What's wrong with Trish?" Stacy asked.
"I don't know, sweetheart. I don't know." Randy said and kissed her forehead again.
"Randy? I'm so sorry…" Stacy started to say but Randy placed a finger on her lips to hush her up.
"Stacy, it's alright. It's alright." Randy assured her.
"No Randy, I don't think I deserve you after all that happened." Stacy said and started to cry.
"Stace, it was just a petty fight…" Randy told her but Stacy still continued to sob.
"Randy, I just wanna say that, I'm really, really sorry and… I love you. I don't know what came over me that I chose Andrew over you to trust." She added in an audible whisper.
"You don't have to worry a thing Stace, because I still love you so, so much."
John and Ashley just arrived in Randy's hotel room and they were smiling.
"I'm glad, they're okay again." Ashley said and smiled as she looked at the newly reunited couple. She pushed a thought into the back of her mind as she turned to look at John.
"Yeah. Me too. Somehow, along the way, I learned to let go of her Ash. Wanna know why I'm so sure?" he asked her and looked at Ashley and she nodded.
"Coz, I don't feel an inch of jealousy when I look at them so close together. And I just know the reason how I am able to. Ash, it's because of you." John said as he put his hand on top of hers. Ashley looked at their hands, her cheeks flushed a light shade of pink.
"I love you Ash. I really love you." John said.
"John, you know it's never gonna happen." Ashley said in a small voice.
"Ash, I'm ready to face all just for us to be together. Heck, cheesy as it may sound, I would move heaven and earth just for you." John said and it was his turn to blush.
"John…" Ashley couldn't think of anything to say to John with his persistence.
"But, if you really don't want… maybe I should just keep these feelings to myself then." John replied and let go of Ashley's hand. Ashley wanted so much to never let go of his hand and stop him from going away but she knows that no matter she and John try to stay together, they can never be together. Ashley stopped a tear from running down as John slowly floated away.
Ashley didn't follow John, she just stayed there and cried quietly. It seemed to go on forever. John was walking all alone trying his best not to think of Ashley. He tried to think of something else. But his thoughts were broken when he saw a blinding white light…
"This must be it…" John said to himself. And he saw a very familiar face…
"John I believe you already have the slightest idea why I'm here." She said in her angelic voice.
"My mission, my unfinished business here on earth is done right?" he answered weakly. She nodded in response.
"Yes John." She smiled once again and he can remember someone with the very similar smile. John looked away as if by doing this, he can forget about Ashley.
"John you've been a very good man. You've been selfless and did something that no other mortal could have possibly done. You sacrificed your love for the better. And for that…" and with another blinding white light appeared his very eyes, she smiled again and John understood why as he smiled himself.
