New York

Buzz buzz buzz went the alarm clock as it flashed 5:30am. Leaning over her finger hit the off botton, knowing she had to get up this early on a Saturday was sometimes to much. Turning her pillow to its side she was going to close her eyes again when she heard her door open and someone call her name, "Jane get up today is the day." it was her brother Ben. "I know Ben. I know." she mumbled as she pulled her self out of bed. He left the room knowing she was up. Earlier that week so much had happened; both Billy and Jeremy told her that they liked her. She paniced and ran away like a little girl later, she called them and told them that she needed time to think and spent the rest of the week avoiding them both which was proving to be harder than she thought it would be. Natually after her aunt called, Ben gave her the idea to ask for a few weeks off work that way she could get away from both of them for some time to think. She would ask today but honestly she wasn't sure Grey would be up for it and she knew she wouldn't go if it ment risking her job at Donovan Decker. Also, going to Lake Elenor ment dealling with her relationship with Luke and her sudden thoughts of Ryan, of course it had been awhile since he'd been to the lake with everything that happened with his sister, so she wouldn't have to worry about that. She'd come up with a good way to present her time off to Grey she just had to do it at the right time.

"Jane thank God you finally showed up. I need you more than ever, now that we found the mole and fired India we have to get thing back under control. Its you and me Jane your the only one I trust now. So if your hiding anything now would be the time to say it because if it comes out later so help me Jane, Well I just hope we won't get there Jane." Grey was so steady and stern as she spoke she could've been a cop grilling a criminal for life or death information and gotten it out of them in seconds flat. Fear seem to rise up in Jane as she walked over and closed the door to Grey's office it was almost as if she was being pulled to do so by some unseen force. "What in the world are you doing?"she said as she watched her assistant shake and acting a little crazy. "Are you alright?" Concern spilling out of her breath.

Rising like goosebumps on her skin a slight fear of losing everything she's fought so hard to keep flowed through her. All Jane could think of as she listened to Grey's words were, *Oh my god I can't do this without Billy. What if he gets upset with whatever choice I make and tells Grey or Rita about everything. What about Jeremy? What if he doesn't like my choice and turns against me to get me fiered or goes digging and finds the truth. Oh god I could lose everything maybe even Ben. She knew then what she had to do, she had to tell Grey everything even it ment losing her job she just couldn't lie anymore. She walked like a zombie to the door and shut it. Looking up at her boss she muddered "I think you sit down and just let me finish talking before you say anything please, and know that I'm sorry and really love working here." Jane told the truth and nothing but and for some unknown reason even ended it by saying "If you don't fire me own the spot can I take 3 weeks off I promise it would be like a work from home thing."

Grey was just watching Jane with a gloss in her eyes almost as if she was going to cry but just as soon as Jane noticed it, it was gone. The tone of her voice was still as she said something Jane didn't ever think she would say, "That fine Honey take the 3 weeks off in fact leave now if I really need you I'll get a hold of you we'll work things out when you get back. Now get out of here before I change my mind, oh and Jane this is just between us. Thank you for being honest Honey. Go on go."
As Jane grabbed her bag and walked to the door one word rang through her mind *honey* she had her hand on the door knob as was going to look back but she couldn't. She was to afraid of what she might see so she just walked out. She felt tears in her eyes for a reason unknown and did the only thing she knew how to do she called Billy.

The phone rang and she waited, just as she was about to hang up she heard a familiar voice on the other side "Janey. Hello Jane. Janey are you there? she missed her friend but she still hadn't made up her mind and didn't want to get his hopes up so she hung up. Just then the fates spoke and her phone rang causing her to jump out of her thoughts looking down at her phone she saw it was unknown number thinking it might be a wrong number she answered just to be polite. "hello." a male voice answered back, "Hello Madison is that you?" she froze but managed to say "Ryan?" why in the world was he calling, this kinda of made her nervous. "Yeah it me I was just calling to... Well I'm not really sure. How have you been Maddie? She smiled and just responded without giving it a thought, "Wow no ones called me that in along time. I'm doing fine I guess. Oh do you remember what my mom used to tell me when we were little? Oh that a weird question to ask I know." It was like she could hear his smile on the other end, " Janey always as sweet as Honey, my little Honey bee. Its fine and I'm glad thing are going good for you Maddie." Just then Ben pulled up, "Jane sorry it took so long you ready to go?" "Ryan I'm sorry to cut this short but it was really nice talking to you. Bye. Talk to you later. Love you." and she hung up the phone.

She got into Ben's car put on her seatbelt and said, "Oh my God I can't believe I said I loved him." Ben started the car and looked at her a little confused, he waited and after a few minutes of Jane saying nothing at all, he spoke " You told Billy you loved him?" She seemed not to hear him at all she just stared out the window. "Jane did you tell Jeremy you were in love with him? Hello Jane!" Looking up she said, " Oh no, not them Ryan, on the phone just awhile ago, maybe he didn't hear. I mean I know I've known him even longer than Billy but still to awkward. Oh by the way I freaked out and told Grey everything. She took it better than I thought gave me time off said we would work it out when I got back. Oh and I did call Billy but I freaked out and hung up when he answered." Desperation in his sister's voice wasn't something he was used to hearing, "Oh Ben what am I doing, what am I going to do?"

"You are going to go to stay at The Lake with Aunt Claire and just be a teenager for a few weeks, no Billy, No Jeremy, just simple Madison Davenport and that is Final."
and they drove to the lake, with nothing but her purse and what she was wearing. Jane hoped that once she got there she could just be simple Madison and have a nice time but she wouldn't count on it.

A/N I didn't know I would write this much so I cut it in half. Part 2 will be about Jason. If there are mistakes sorry I'm new at this and couldn't figure out how the Beta thing worked. Feel free to review :)
