Chapter 1: Waiting and Longing

It was three weeks after the meteor shower. And Ned and his friends soon started their Junior year at St. Martens High school with only two weeks left of the summer break. Ned's thought drifted, once again off to his girlfriend, Jennifer Mosely, and the more he thought about her, the more he couldn't believe that he was this lucky to have her. Even though the period between realizing his feelings for her and actually dating her were hard, frustrating and painful, it was all worth it.

Ned looked out his window, his gaze focused on a few houses further across the room, where the girl of his dreams lived. He hasn't seen her for nine days, since she and her family went to her aunt that lived in New Jersey. But as soon as the red car of the Moselys would pull over on their driveway, Ned would be there before they even got the chance to get out of the vehicle. He missed her so much that his heart ached. And found himself once again baffled on how deep his feelings where for her, and how he never noticed until in his freshmen year at St. Martens.

A soft knock was heard on his door. "Ned honey, are you still standing in front of the window? You must really miss her," the voice of his mother said softly.

"I DO miss her mom, its like… i'm not whole without her…" Ned sighed and turned away from the window to face his mum.

"Dinner is ready, ow, and your cousin called, he wants to go into the city tomorrow…" with that Ned's mother left, closing the door behind her.

Ned refaced the window again and rested his forehead against the cool glass. Its weird how one hour seems to pass you by like its only a minute when your with someone you love, but when your waiting to see your love, one hour could be just as long as a day… Ned sighed and gave Jennifer's house one last glance before he walked away from the window and towards the dinner room.

He sat down and just looked at his food for a few moments, before releasing a deep sigh. Ned listlessly picked at his food with his fork. Normally he's overjoyed when his mom made carbonates and French fries. But this time he couldn't care less. His parents looked at each other worriedly. That means; his mother looked with eyes full of worry into two puddles of amusement.

"Ned, are you alright?" his mum asked when Ned sighed for the sixth time.

"Of course he isn't…" Ned's dad piped up.

"Richard," Ned's mom said in a semi-shocked voice.

"Just think about it Sophy, Ned has know Jennifer his entire life, they grew up together, where just as close as a twin, and last year they both realized that they love each other, they are inseparable, they've never spent one single day without seeing each other… and now she's gone for nine days straight…" He explained.

"I'm fine mum, its just… what dad said," Ned sighed.

"Girls can have a funny effect on you…," Ned's dad said in a serious voice.

"Girls are stupid," Ned's ten year old brother Kevin piped up.

Ned looked at him with raised eyebrows.

"Well its true, their to complicated, it'll take you a lifetime to figure them out. And their so… weird… giggling for almost everything and always the chatter!," he threw his hands up in the air out of frustration and continued: "Its or cute, or gross with them, a puppy is 'oh so adorable'" mimics a girls voice and placed his hands on his cheeks. "and a snake is 'so gross!' when they see a mouse they stand all funny on a chair, like that's gonna help, and what's with traveling in packs huh? You never see a girl alone, they even need at least three other girls to go to the bathroom, and all they care about is stupid girly stuff, hallow?"

Ned's parents looked at their second and youngest son with utter bemusement, Even Ned smiled.

"Moze is different, she never giggles, isn't quite the blabbermouth, thinks snakes are awesome, finds a mouse cute, she completely comfortable around boys, enjoys boy things, like woodshop, videogames, and horror movies, she cares about everything and everyone… oh i love her," Ned sighed deeply and placed his chin on his hand and gazed to the opposite wall.

"Jennifer isn't a girly girl, but she still does funny things with you, by the looks of it…," Kevin stated.

"Oh look who's talking… every time she comes over your more exited then a parakeet on caffeine, when we're playing a videogame in the basement, you come in at least twenty times in one hour, you keep asking her to explain something, and once you told her that you just lost your pet rat," Ned said while giving his little brother an accusing look.

"Yeah, so?" Kevin asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You never had a pet rat!" Ned said, rolling his eyes. "you only said that so she would hug you,"

"I'm a guy that likes attention, doesn't mean anything," Kevin shrugged.

"Oh really," Ned asked, grinning now. "Then what's up with her picture that lies under your pillow?"

Kevin turned into a nice shade of crimson.

"Yes, i know, and i want that one back by the way, its my favorite…" Ned continued with a frown.

"But…," Kevin protested weakly.

"I'll give you another one," Ned rolled his eyes dramaticly.

Ned's parents seemed to be baffled by the outcome of their sons argument. "Its seems like Jennifer casted a spell on both of our boys…" He said with a chuckle.

"But she is a delightful girl, i can't imagine a better daughter in law…" Ned's mom said with a smile.

"mom…" Ned said, clearly embarrassed. "We're only going out for four months, and your already making plans for a wedding," Ned shook his head and started on his carbonates.

As soon Kevin was finished with his plate, he bolted out of the room. Ned, alarmed, shoved the last few French fries in his mouth and ran after him.

Ned found him in his own room, clutching the picture against his chest.

"c'mon Kev, its my favorite picture of her…," Ned plied.

Kevin looked at his older brother with sad eyes. "Mine too," he said softly.

Ned sighed. "I'll look up the negatives of that picture and i'll order a copy of it,"

Kevin threw his arms around his brother. "Thanks Ned,"

"Yeah, as long as you know that she's mine…" Ned said with a goofy grin.

The bell rang. immediately, Ned run down the stairs and quickly opened the door. There, on the threshold, stood the girl that drove him crazy and chased him in sweet dreams. Jennifer Mosely looked at Ned with her astonishing smile, and gorgeous bog brown eyes.

"You really are full of surprises Ned, i expected you to…" Ned had wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her with all the love he could muster. Jennifer's arms sneaked around his neck as she kissed him back.

"… come running down the street and pull me out of the car before it stopped," Jennifer continued when Ned pulled his head back a little.

"Expecting to, or hoping to?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

Jennifer grinned guiltily.

"Actualy i was planning on doing that, but my dearest little brother prevented me from that…," Ned confessed.

"I see," Jennifer laughed. Ned just gazed dreamingly at her.

"You have no idea how much i missed you…" Ned sighed while hugging her close and resting his head on hers.

Much longer then the Prologue isn't it:p

not much of a cliffhanger-ending, but i couldn't think of a better way to end the chapter...
