Mr. and Mrs. Garcia

It wasn't that much longer when Mr. and Mrs. Garcia arrived at Mercy Hospital and they ran inside. That's when they found Jen, Caitlin, Jude and Wyatt leaving together, all of them obviously upset. Jen's mom ran up to her and hugged her tightly. "Oh Jen!" she said. "How are you guys holding up?" she asked, tears falling from her eyes.

"Mom... I just can't believe it... it's too hard to believe," Jen hugged her mother tightly. "It's just not fair, Jonesy did not deserve this!" she said.

Mr. Garcia looked at the rest of the gang. He didn't know what to say. They didn't know what to say. But Caitlin walked up to him and hugged him. "I'm so sorry," she said. "You're son was an amazing hockey player and amazing friend," she told Mr. Garcia. She continued to sob. "He'll surely be missed," she said.

Jude and Wyatt nodded in agreement. "He was one awesome dude," Jude looked up at the ceiling as a few tears fell from his bright blue eyes.

Wyatt faintly smiled as a few tears also fell from his eyes. "Nobody will ever replace Jonesy, he was one of a kind, that's for sure," he told Mr. Garcia.

Mr. Garcia nodded. "It's obvious Jonesy had amazing friends," he looked around the lobby. "Where's Nikki?" he asked.

Jen looked over at Mr. Garcia. "She left... she pushed all of us away and I don't know, she's just so hurt, I don't know what I can do... I lost my step-brother...and it's Nikki's fiancee.." Jen looked around. "I just don't know what I am going to do anymore... I fell as if I'm useless..." she said.

"Oh Jen," Jude hugged her tightly. "We'll get through this ... together, we all have each other..." he told her.

"Yeah," Jen said. "I have to go... check on Nikki... she needs someone there with her weither she's going to admit it or not," told everyone.

"Okay," Jen's mom hugged her. "We'll see you later," she kissed her daughter on the head before she left the hospital.

Nikki

Nikki had fallen asleep and woken up many hours later. She looked at her surroundings. Her vison was blurry but she could still tell the sun was setting and a faint light from it came through her window. She got up and walked over to her closet door and opened it, she pulled out a box and sat down in front of it as she went through the items she had carefully placed in the box through out years. "Jonesy..." she said as she pulled out a teddy bear that held a heart in his arms that said, I Love You Beary Much. " I miss you," she said pulling out a picture of the whole gang from the graduate. She looked at the other members of the gang. "I have been SO horrible to them, but it's only because I can't bare to let them see how upset I am..." she said. "Jonesy... I don't know what I am going to do without you..." she said pulling out another picture. This one was of Jonesy and Nikki, taken together at the Winter Wonderland dance a few years ago when they first got back together. Nikki couldn't look at the pictures anymore, tears started to fall from her brown eyes and they fell down her face. She just couldn't take it in, she knew he was dead but she just couldn't believe it... she just couldn't believe that Stone Blake would go and do that- although, it didn't surprise that much that Stone was capable of doing something horrible like it, afterall, he had been known for being a jerk but to go this far, it was just digusting for anyone to do that.

A light knock occured at the door and Nikki looked up. "Yeah?" she said in a soft voice walking over to her bedroom door, she unlocked it and slowly opened the door. "Jen?" she took a deep breath. "What are you doing here?" she asked. She was sort of shocked that Jen would show up after the way she acted earlier today, after the way she snapped and pushed everyone away.

"Nikki, you can't get through this alone, I can't get through alone..." Jen took a deep breath. "We can't get through this alone," Her eyes filled up with tears as she hugged Nikki. "Nikki... that's what friends are for, no matter how tough you are, sometimes you just got to let it all out..."

Nikki was shocked a first but she broke down and hugged Jen. "Oh Jen, I just don't know what I'm going to do... I just, I can't... I don't know!!" Nikki said crying into Jen's shoulder. "I just can't believe he's gone Jen... Jonesy's gone... and it's all my fault," Nikki looked at Jen.

"Nikki, this is not your fault!" Jen shook her best friend. "This is all Stone's, you can't blame yourself just because you used to go out with him," Jen tried to reassure Nikki. "And I know for a fact Jonesy wouldn't want you blaming yourself for what happened..." she said.

Nikki stopped and looked at Jen. "And you know what makes it worst?" she asked.

Jen just gave Nikki a questioning look. What the hell could be worst than Jonesy getting killed? "What?" Jen asked.

"Remember Melinda Gordon?" Nikki asked, while Jen nodded. "Yeah well, she came up to me telling me she could see Jonesy's spirit and that his spirit was hitting on her and she said that he said he was doing it because he saw me with Wyatt or something," Nikki started to get really upset talking about the incident that she had with Melinda earlier that day.

"What? Are you serious... you mean to tell me she came up out of the blue and tells you that... that's just... weird and sick," Jen said. She sounded upset. How could someone actually just go up to a heartbroken girl and say that. That was no way of making ANYONE feel any better.

"But you know what gets me? Melinda doesn't seem like the person to do something like that to be mean... I mean, what if it's true? What if she really can see and talk to Jonesy... and he really does want to talk to all of us so that he can crossover?" Nikki said getting up. Something inside of her just made her feel like Jonesy was around... and he was, he was right there with his arms wrapped around her. Nikki felt a comfort like she haven't heard before. "Jonesy?" she turned around...nobody. "That's funny... I could of sworn I felt his arms wrapped..." Nikki looked down at the floor and got upset all over again.

"Oh Nikki," Jen stood up next to her and hugged her tightly. "It's normal for people to feel like that but that Melinda Gordon, that's just not normal for anyone to do," Jen looked at Nikki in the face. "She's just trying to mess with you... like her grandmother did when she was younger," she said.

"What do you mean?" Nikki looked at Jen.

"My mom told me when she was younger and her father died in a car accident, Melinda's grandmother came to her telling her all about how she could talk to him and all that, apparently mom was all freaked out at first..." Jen started to explain.

"So what happened?" Nikki wanted to know. What if she really could get a chance to say goodbye to Jonesy. It would be sad, yes, but at least she would feel better about everything.

"I don't know, mom never did finish telling me the story..." Jen said.

"Well..." Niki said. "How do you think Melinda knew about this necklace," Nikki said touching Jonesy's necklace. "And about when I got engaged," she said showing Jen the ring. "Maybe.. maybe she really can..." Nikki ran to her door. "Come on," she said.

"Okay sure..." Jen said slowly.

Nikki stopped for a second and looked at Jen. "Jen, thanks for coming," she said. "You're my best friend and I am glad you came after the way I acted," she said.

"I just didn't understand why you didn't want us to be there for you," Jen said as they walked down the hallway of Nikki's house.

"I just hate people see me fall apart like this, but I know better... I shouldn't fell like that around you guys... you guys are my best friends and..." Nikki smiled. "And I couldn't ask for better friends than you guys,"

Melinda with Jonesy's spirit

"Do you think it's possible that Nikki will eventually belive you?" Jonesy asked. "Because I can't crossover until I can say goodbye to everyone and make sure I get the last words to the love of my life," he looked at Melinda deeply in the eyes.

"There's a chance," Melinda said as she continued to drive down the street back to her antique shop. "I just want you to know I am going to do everything I can, I just don't want to upset Nikki..." she said pulling into the parking lot and getting out. Jonesy followed her and that's when they saw them. Nikki and Jen.

"Nikki?" Melinda walked over to her. "You're here?" she hugged her tightly. "I am so sorry about Jonesy and I am so sorry about how I upset you before, I assure you that wasn't what I was trying to do..." she looked at her.

"I know," Nikki said. "And I believe you..." she said.

"You do?" Melinda looked shocked. "But I was pretty sure you were really against what I said and you didn't seem like you'd every believe me..." she placed a hand on Nikki's shoulder. "Jonesy really does love you and he has a message for you and for everyone else," she said. She looked over at Jen. "I remember you, Jen right?" she asked and Jen nodded. "It's great you're here too... Jonesy says he's sorry for ignoring you last night," she said.

Jen looked at Nikki as she started to cry all over again. Tears quickly fell down her face. "Tell Jonesy it's not his fault... he didn't know and I should of just yelled out that Stone was there..." she said.

"He can here you..." Melinda said giving Jen a sympathic look. She felt so bad for both of the girls.

"Jen, it's not your fault... it's mine, if I never dated Stone we wouldn't have any involvement with that jerk and Jonesy would still be alive, it's all because of me that he's dead!" Nikki yelled. People who were walking past on the street just stared at her.

"Nikki..." Melinda looked at her. "Jonesy says it wasn't your fault and that he loves you very much..." Melinda paused for a second. "He also said you're the most amazing person he's ever met and that you are his everything and he's sorry about what he did..." she said.

"Oh Jonesy..." Nikki said. "I just want you to know that thing with Wyatt was nothing, he was just comforting me..." she said.

"He says he believes you..." Melinda said.

"Jonesy wants you guys to gather everyone so he can say his final goodbye..." Melinda told the girls.

They looked at each other and then turned back to Melinda. "I know my mom with believe us, she's had a message from her dad through your grandmother but getting all of our friends and Mr. Garcia to believe us could be hard, especially when they are having a hard enough time now as it is," Jen said.

"Yeah," Nikki looked at Melinda. "No offence but it is hard to believe and hearing things like that when you're upset only makes it seem like you are making fun or something. You must put up with a lot but you still reach out to people... thanks," Nikki said. "And I am sorry about before,"

Melinda smiled a little. "It's okay, I understand why you acted the way you did, it is hard to believe... but hey, it's life... full of mysteries," she said.

"Okay, well we'll go and try to talk to everyone," Jen said. "If this is what Jonesy wants..." she said.

"Then it's what he'll get, we'll do whatever it takes to be able to let Jonesy say goodbye," Nikki finished. "Jonesy... I love you," she said. Then she felt a familar softness brush against her lips. It was so warm and so comforting and although Nikki couldn't see, she could feel it was Jonesy's presence as she kissed him back. When they broke apart she looked at Melinda. "Jonesy and I just.. we just kissed," she said.

"Yes," Melinda nodded.

"Come on Nikki... we'll get everyone else and we'll call Melinda back to be able to get this on the go... for Jonesy," Jen said.

"Okay," Nikki said as the two of them walked down the street.

OKAY! Now... I am hoping that's better than the last few chapters...jump5fan, guess this is really getting to you and I am starting to make this story suck, oh and if it doesn't get better then oh well, but anyway this is just what's next, we'll go from here... God Bless.
