Mr. and Mrs. Garcia

Mrs. Garcia, Jen's mother. Yes, she changed her last name when she got married. Just because she was married before didn't mean she couldn't change her last name again. She drove as fast as she could back into town with the emergency lights flashing while Mr. Garcia sat in the passenger seat just starring at a photo of him and Jonesy when Jonesy graduated from high school.

A few tears flowed from Mrs. Garcia's eyes as she drove but she kept strong so her vision wouldn't go blurry, she had to get to the hospital for Mr. Garcia's sake. They had to talk to the doctors about what happened, they had to see the kids, explain to the other kids what happened and they also had to file a police report, Jonesy was shot, and they were going to find out who did it and make sure they were thrown in jail.

"What am I going to do without my oldest son?" Mr. Garcia said softly as he took out another picture of him and Jonesy from his wallet. This one was taken when he and Jonesy were younger. It was taken just after Jonesy's first hockey game and he had scored the winning goal. Mr, Garcia took him out for pizza and they had their picture taken together. Growing up was pretty much like that, so many father-son moments until Jonesy started hanging around his friends in his teenage years but he always remained a close relationship with his father. His dad even knew what he had planned to do that night. "You know..." he said clearing his throat. "He was going to ask Nikki to marry him last night," he told Mrs. Garcia.

"What? Oh no..." Mrs. Garcia said in a really sad voice. "You mean that night was the big night and some jerk went and shot my step-son," she said. "Poor Nikki, I just don't know how the girl is taking this..." she said.

"I highly doubt it's very well at all," Mr. Garcia said as a few more tears rolled down his rough cheeks. " I mean I've seen them together, it's obvious how much she loves him," he paused. "And how much he loves her," he took out yet another picture from his wallet, it was a picture of Jonesy and Nikki that they had took togetehr at their graduation. Mr. Garcia had always looked at Nikki like a daughter, even before she and Jonesy had gotten together. Deep inside, he always knew the two would someday hook up but never did he imagine they would be seperated by such a horrible tragedy. "My son's gone..." Mr. Garcia dropped the pictures on his lap and held his head in his strong hands and started to sob.

Mrs. Garcia wanted to console her husband but she knew she had to focus ont he road and get to the hospital as soon as possible. "Oh honey..." she said. "Listen, I really don't know what to say, I've never been in a situation like this before and I'm sorry but..." she took a breath. "What I can promise you is that we'll get through this... together. I'm going to be there by your side the whole time. No matter what happens in life, I won't leave you... I love you," she told him.

Mr. Garcia looked up at his wife. "Thanks, that means a lot to me," he said.

Jen, Wyatt, Jude and Caitlin

Jen entered the room where the rest of the gang were just sat down looking at each other. "Okay, Nikki seriously isn't taking this to well," Jen joined the group. "She just totally freaked out at me and I'm worried about her," Jen stopped. "She's closing all of us out..." she said.

"Well, yeah, it's obvious she THINKS she doesn't need us, she's turning against us in the hardest time of her life, and we can't even be there to help her, to comfort her..." Wyatt stood up. "We have to find her," he said.

"I would agree with that too," Jen said. "But seriously, I don't think she'll even listen to us right now... maybe it's best if we leave her a lone for awhile, respect her wishes," she said.

"Dudette, Nikki's like... really upset," Jude said looking at Jen.

"So are we Jude!" Caitlin said looking at the skating boy. "But Jen could be right, maybe Nikki does need some time alone, after all, she was engaged to Jonesy... and she's the one who just lost the love of her life..." she said.

"ENGAGED?" Jen's eyes widened. "That's what I intereupted when I came to tell Jonesy, Stone was there... oh poor Nikki! He must of gotten shot only minutes after Jonesy purposed..." Jen looked at the group. "Guys what are we going to do without Jonesy?" she asked. She started to cry. "My brother's dead..." she started to pace back and forth.

Jude stood up and wrapped his arms around her and hugged Jen tightly. "Dudette, listen... don't worry... I'm here for you and so is everyone else," he gestured towards the rest of the gang.

Caitlin started to tear up and she hugged into Wyatt. "This is just horrible...why the heck would Stone do something so cruel like this? This just ain't fair!" she sobbed.

"Some people are just low-life jerks," Wyatt wrapped his arms around Caitlin. "He's going to be thrown in jail, we all know he did it..." he said.

"There's no way he's getting away with what he did to us, to Nikki... to Jonesy's family..." Jen said.

Nikki and Melinda

"Jonesy's not here," Nikki snapped. "He's dead," she started to walk away from Melinda's vechile.

Melinda pulled her vechile up the side and she parked it. Getting out she ran to chase Nikki and she gently touched her shoulder.

Nikki pulled Melinda's hand off of her shoulder and turned around and glared at her. "Little I told you, I don't want to talk to anyone right now," she said in a harsh voice.

"Listen, I spoke to Jonesy earlier today, about an hour ago..." Melinda looked at Nikki.

Nikki's angry face softened. "What? But how is that even possible?" she asked. "You spoke to my Jonesy?" her voice sounded so hopeful, so peaceful, so happy, compared to what it has been for the past few hours.

"Yes," Melinda nodded, hoping she would be able to convince Nikki with the information she was about to give. "Listen, I know that he's dead... I do, but I have a gift. I can talk to the dead, with the spirits who haven't crossed over yet..." she started to explain. "And I have spoken to Jonesy..." she said.

"WHAT?" Nikki snapped. "Okay, that's a bunch of bull! Who the hell do you think you are? What kind of crap are you trying to pull on me here? I just lost the love of my life and here you are trying to tell me you can see his spirit... you're a very cruel and cold hearted person, you know that Melinda?" Nikki walked away just as Jonesy's spirit came next to Melinda.

"Tell her that the ring on her finger is the one I have her last night when I purposed to her," Jonesy said to Melinda.

"That ring on your finger, Jonesy purposed to you last night..." Melinda said.

Nikki stopped and turned around. "Yeah, but how do you know that?" she started to walk back towards Melinda.

"He's here now..." Melinda told Nikki.

"I don't believe you," Nikki turned and started to walk away again. "I can't believe I even came close to believing you," Tears were streaming down Nikki's eyes. How cruel could someone be, to just show up out of nowhere and "pretend" that they were talking to her dead fiancee's spirit. That was jus sick!

"Nikki..." Melinda chased her. Jonesy's spirit followed Melinda and he told her something to tell Nikki. "Jonesy says that he told you to take the neclace off his neck after he died, the one you are now wearing. You made it when you two were young and he promsied to always keep it. Last year when he was in an accident..." Melinda paused to little to Jonesy's spirit to tell her the rest of the story. "He told you that if he ever died to keep it and wear it and in memory of him..." Melinda looked at Nikki who was convinced now.

Nikki walked towards her. She broke down. "Oh Gosh! He really is here, isn't he?" Nikki looked at Melinda.

"Yes..." Melinda answered. "And he wants you to know how much he misses you, dispite what he did to me..." she said.

"What did he do?" Nikki asked. She was still crying but she was having mixed emotions. Of course, she was still heartbroken that Jonesy was dead but she was going to be able to say goodbye...

"He," Melinda paused as she loked at Jonesy's spirit shake his head no. "He... he don't want me to tell you, but I got to..." she said.

"Okay?" Nikki looked at Melinda. "What's that?"

"He came into my bathroom this morning and wrote hubba hubba on my mirror while I was in the shower and he hit on me this morning at work, he looked down my shirt and..." Melinda was cut off.

"OKAY! That's it! You really are a liar! I don't know how the hell you got any of that imformation about Jonesy and I's childhood but for you to come to me and say my dead fiancee was cheating on me... that's low, geesh, you really are disgusting!!!!" Nikki threw her arms up in the air. "Jonesy would never EVER do that to me, I know it!!" she yelled and then she once and turned and walked away without turning back. She started running after she crossed the street. She ran as fast as she could until she made to her house. Yeah, she still lived with he rparents but who the heck was going to move out when they could stay somewhere for free during University? Nobody, unless they were rich.

Nikki wanted to save her money to travel the world after she had completed University. She ran into her house and he parents met her at the door. They had heard of the accident and hugged her tightly. "Oh Nikki!" Mrs. Wong said with a few tears in her eyes. "I am so sorry about Jonesy!"

"Mom! Just leave me alone!!!" Nikki yelled at her mother, while yanking herself out of her mother's grip. She ran upstairs and banged her bedroom door. She locked it and let herself fall unto her bed face first into her pillow and she cried and cried. It was bad enough Jonesy had gotten killed but some woman that used to babysit them had to come up and say that his spirit was going around being unfaithful. It was sick, digusting and horrible. Nikki was already going through a hard enough time as it is. She just didn't know how the heck she was going to get through it.

Jonesy's Spirit / Melinda

"I can't believe she didn't believe you?" Jonesy looked at Melinda. "I can't believe this... she's never going to believe you now! I told you not to tell her about... you know," Jonesy yelled.

"Well, I am sorry but I figured she deserved to know what you were doing! You may be dead but that doesn't give you any right to cheat on her..." Melinda said. "You just asked her to marry you last night, you die and your spirit is earth-bound, you haven't crossed over yet and you go looking at other woman..." she took a breath. "If you didn't do that maybe you would be able to have a conversation with Nikki through me, but thanks to what you did, she thinks I'm lying about everything!" Melinda said.

"Well, we have to do something about it. I can't cross over without telling Nikki I'm sorru for that and that I love her. I need to say goodbye to her and my family and my other friends, maybe you can get through to my friends," Jonesy said.

"Maybe..." Melinda said. "Just maybe..."

Well, there ya go, that's Chapter 6... I hope the very few who read this enjoyed it. Anyway, that's all for now. xoxo. God Bless.
