Meadow567- They just broke up, they aren't having sex anytime soon! And Helen just wanted pictures before they went out when she was supposed to be getting proposed to.

Vaughnloveralwaysandforev- Aww, don't cry. And I promise to keep writing so you can see how it all unfolds.

Emador- What is it with you and OC? LOL

May 30, 1980

New York City

I sat looking out the window of dad's penthouse. I had come to New York for the summer to be with dad. It'd been almost a week since Rizzo and I had split up. I had explained everything to dad. Dad had said I needed to think long and hard about what I was giving up, but he'd support anything to make me happy. I hadn't heard from Mike since we left Boston the night I broke up with him.

I looked out at the city. We were staying in the Dakota building, Central Park was across the street. The lights looked pretty. Dad was out at a charity event for the Rangers. I had opted to stay home to watch the season finale of 'Dallas'.

I wondered what I should do with Mike's things that I still had. I didn't know if he'd want them back. And I didn't want to send them and seem cruel and uncaring. I still had his BU practice jersey. I still had his senior hockey ring from BU. Although I had quit wearing it and put it away.

The phone ringing broke me from my thoughts. It was late so I didn't know who'd be calling.

"Hello?"

"Chev, it's 'Dallas' night. Why didn't you call me?" OC asked on the other end.

"OC….well considering that I broke up with Mike and he's your best friend...I didn't think you'd want to talk to me." I said.

"Chevon…Mike is my best friend…but I've been through too much to abandon you." OC said.

"You don't hate me?" I asked.

"I know you must have had your reasons for breaking up with Mike. You're not the kind to be a bitch and leave someone for no good reason." OC said. "Of course I don't hate you."

"I am so glad to hear that. I was really worried you'd hate me." I said.

"None of us guys are going to hate you. We know you had your reasons." OC said.

"That's good to hear. I wouldn't want to lose any of you." I said.

"So about that finale? Who shot JR?" OC asked.

"I don't know but everyone on the show is a suspect. I mean Pam and Bobby left Southfork. He threatened to have Kristin and her friend arrested. And look what he did to the Barnes family….and both Cliff and Pam are Barnes's." I said.

"I think SueEllen did it. She was drunk and so afraid that JR was going to put her back in the sanitarium." OC said.

"Yeah….and she is Kristin's sister, and we know JR has been fooling around with Kristin…does SueEllen know?" I asked.

"I don't think so." OC said.

"Well you know we have to wait until the new season to see who did it." I said.

"All summer?" OC pouted.

"Yeah….I can just imagine all the publicity this is going to draw." I said.

"Do you think JR will die?" OC asked.

"No, if they killed him off the show would go under. There would be no one left to hate." I said.

"So how are you doing? You were with Mike a long time….I know this isn't easy." OC said.

"I'm okay I guess. I mean I still love him, but I think this is best in the long run." I said.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" OC asked.

"No, I'm fine. I got daddy. Have you heard from Mike?" I asked.

"Yeah…he is okay. He's upset and hurt but he's okay." OC said.

"I wish it didn't have to be this way. I never wanted it to be like this Jack." I said.

"I know. You sure you're okay?" OC asked.

"Yeah."

"Tell you what…I got this week free. Why don't I fly down there and spend a few days with you. Take your mind off things." OC said.

"Sounds nice." I said.

"Besides, I hear John Lennon is your neighbor." OC laughed.

"Yes, he and Yoko live upstairs with Sean." I said. "Several celebrities live here."

"I knew there was a reason I liked you so much." OC chuckled. "You sure you're okay?"

"I'm fine."

"Okay then I'll see you Monday if I can get a flight." OC said.

"Can't wait." I said.

"Night Chev."

"Night Jack." I said and hung up.
