A/N: first of all thanks to Fyrephoenix16 for his review and PM. Secondly, I am using a NEW laptop with Windows 2010 so formatting will be different. Thirdly, as I forgot-Disclaimer: I do not own Bridge to Terabithia. It is the property of Katherine Paterson, her publishers and the company that made it a movie. Fourthly, sorry for the delay and finally, Enjoy!
All Jesse could do was smile. Leslie Burke, his best friend, was alive. They were running back to Jesse's house. When they got back to his house however, there was an empty felling. Then Jesse saw the note and the bag. Dear Jesse, the note read, we are not in because May-Belle has fallen seriously ill. Therefore you will be staying at the Burke's new home. The address is 93 Clement Avenue. The bag contains all you will need for tonight and tomorrow until lunch.
Love Mom & Dad
Jesse couldn't believe his eyes.
May-Belle sick? She was fine this morning
All his family had gone ( even PT)
The Burkes lived nearby
He could spend tonight and tomorrow morning with Leslie
Grabbing the bag he started to run "Come on Les" he shouted back towards the house
"Jesse," Leslie shouted back "1 please call me Leslie and 2 Clement Avenue is the other way
With that Jesse turned around and ran with Leslie all the way to the Burke's house and Jesse knocked on the door it creaked open " Ah Jesse," said the opener
"Hi Bill," replied Jesse " Is Judy around?"
"I'm here. Why?" asked Judy from behind Bill
Jesse stepped to the side and both of the adults gasped
"Les?" they said in unison
A while later Jesse and Leslie were in the lounge alone with each other in the lounge and Jesse finally explained "Leslie, the reason I asked Wakati to save you was I-I-I love you."
"You know what," replied Leslie "I love you too"
When Bill and Judy came in later the found both children sleeping on the sofa looking peaceful and that was how it stayed until that day, the day that changed Jesse's life and Terabithia forever.
