I apologize because I didn't notice until now that it's coming from Jess's perspective and not a third person perspective. Sorry this won't happen again. Please enjoy by the way! And also, I am sorry this took longer then I expected. I was busy with school and my schools Spring Musical.

Chapter 2

"Do I know you? I don't think I've ever met you before." asked Leslie.

"Of course you do Leslie! My name is Jess Aarons and we were friends years ago. You were the best friend I ever had in my whole life; well you are the only friend I really had. How could you not remember who I am?" asked Jess.

"I'm sorry Jess but I really don't remember you at all." said Leslie.

I then changed from being happy to shock. I was so upset that the girl I dreamed about and thought of for many years didn't remember who I was. This started to make me angry but I brushed off it because I was so happy to see Leslie again. The girl I had truly loved more then anything. Hell I loved her more then life itself after she had died.

"Wait a minute Jess, I think I remember who you are. After my parents found me, or my adopted parents found me I had this nightmare for years. This dark hooded figure with handcuffs on his wrists would always chase me through this forest. I remember hearing the clanging of the cuffs together when he would chase me. Usually I would be scared half to death thinking I was done for. However, sometimes a man would save my life. I could never get a look at his face because of his armor he wore by his face. I could only briefly see his eyes once in a while." said Leslie.

"That was probably the Dark Master that you saw. It was our archenemy in Terabithia. We were both the King and Queen there. Terabithia was our place where we got away from bullies like Scott Hoggar or Janice Avery. Does this ring any bells to you?" said Jess.

"Yeah it does. It brings some memories back more and more I think about it." said Leslie.

"Good, that's good to know. Listen, I'm glad to see you again because I've loved you Leslie. I spent all these years missing you and realizing I loved you." Said Jess

"Jess, I am so sorry but love is a big thing. I don't know how to describe it, actually no one does but I'm sorry I don't love you to. Don't get me wrong you're a great guy and all but I'm not ready to be in a relationship anytime soon. I'm sorry Jess." said Leslie.

Why, couldn't things have gone good for me for once? Just once I wanted things to go good for me. But nevertheless I then checked my watch and noticed the time. Shit, its 8:00 and I doubt Mom and Dad think I've been running for two hours straight the day before a meet. Oh, crap great now what will I do.

"Leslie, I need to go. My parents are going to kill me since I've been out for 2 hours now "running". I can try and bullshit my way out of this one but it will take some great lying." Said Jess

"I understand Jess, but I want to still be friends at least?" asked Leslie.

Wow, not surprised. Friend zoned. Why am I not surprised. The one girl I actually liked my whole life and she friend zoned me. Just then it started raining. It hit me instantly the last time I saw Leslie all those years ago was during a rainfall. I couldn't lose her again and I knew I had to walk her home just incase anything could happen again.

"No, not again. I'm walking you home no matter what you say. I lost you the last time when it poured rain." said Jess.

"Okay then Jess. I'll gladly take your offer up. Just make sure I don't die again okay?" said Leslie.

I then nodded and we began to walk home. I'm surprised but we really didn't say much but then again the experience for both of us meeting again was a lot for the both of us. We got on her street and I began to think of a clever way to say goodbye. I kept thinking of how to not come off too awkward but as a close friend. A handshake would be too formal but a kiss could be too awkward. So maybe a hug? But then again after all these years I really wanted to do more then just a hug. Even if it lasted forever, I still wanted more then just that alone.

We got to her house and I had the whole goodbye planned out. I'd give her a hug and then wait too see if she would give the "look" for me to kiss. Hopefully she would give me the look.

"Well here we are Leslie." said Jess.

"Thanks for the walk home Jess. Well, I'll see you again and tomorrow can we meet here? How does 6:00 p.m sound?" said Leslie.

"Sounds good to me Leslie. Well, I'll see you tomorrow." said Jess.

I then go in and give her a hug. It felt like an eternity and man did it feel nice. All these years later I finally get to give her the proper hug that I had always wanted to. Eventually, I decided to pull away. I was looking at her and she then kissed me. It was so long and passionate and I enjoyed every minute of it. When we finished kissing she then smiled and went back into her house. I then sprinted back home and climbed into my window. Lucky me I made it in right when both Mom and Dad were about to walk into my room. They then called me to dinner and I ate. I went to bed happy that night because it was one of the best days that I had ever had in my whole life.

The end.
