Chapter 30: Forever and always

"Cannonball!" Wally yelled as he jumped into the cool water of Lake Cherokee.

Karen, Toni, and Jade yelped as some water splashed onto their tanning figures. Karen sat up and glared at Wally. "Wally West! I'm going to kill you!" She got up and the redhead began to swim away from the angry girl.

Jade and Toni laughed. Then, Kori and Jenny joined them, clad in their string bikinis.

"Ahhh. It feels good to be back." Jenny said and she laid on her tummy.

Kori laughed and flipped her hair. "Sureee does. This summer is gonna rock."

"You can say that again." Added Toni. "Hey, where's Kat?"

"Probably with Roy." Jade sat up and looked at her friends's apologetic expressions.

Kori placed a hand on her shoulder. "Hey, don't worry. They're just friends."

"Yeah I mean look at them!" Jenny pointed to where Roy and Kat were at.

They were standing by the grill where Vic was cooking and they were obviously flirting. She'd flip her long, curly brown locks and laugh excessively and she didn't bother to cover up her perfect body that was clad in a pink string bikini.

The girls turned to Jenny and gave her an 'Are you serious' kind of look. She slumped down and grinned. "Hey, they weren't flirting a minute ago..."

They all groaned and Jade shook her head. "It's whatever...I just miss him. It's all my fault him and I are in this position anyway."

"No way love. It ls his fault for winning douche of the year award and becoming a totally different person."

The girls laughed and Jade felt a little better. Just then Rachel walked over soaking wet. They noticed that for once, she didn't have a book in hand.

Kori laughed and asked, "What happened to you?"

"Gar happened." She replied with a grunt. She took a seat next to Kori on the wooden deck. "I'm going to murder him."

Karen joined them a few seconds later, catching the end of the conversation. She whispered to Kori, "They're so into each other."

About an hour later everyone began to wind down and grab some food. There were hotdogs and hamburgers with the usual condiments and plenty of chips. The s'mores would be done later that night.

Everyone sat in a circle either in a lawn chair or on a large log. Bruce and Arella were at the main start of the circle and Bruce held up his red solo cup full of coke. "I would just like to thank god that I'm free this weekend. It's always a joy to spend time with not only my dear friend Arella," he bumped her in the shoulder and she rolled her eyes, "but also all of you guys."

A chorus of 'Awes' from the girls sounded and the guys tried to hold in laughter. Bruce rolled his grey eyes and bit into his burger.

As the sun started to set and all of the teens plus the two adults conversed, Jade got up to prepare the s'mores. The guys started to build the fire with the help of Bruce-which wasn't much help.

"Hey Jade! I'll come help you!" Kat said as she followed Jade.

The girls looked at each other in fear and Jade inwardly groaned. Unaware of the discomfort Jade felt, Kat followed behind her with a dazzling smile plastered on her face.

When they reached the table, Jade smiled and said, "Thanks for helping. You really don't have to though."

Kat opened a package of Hershey bars. "Oh I know." she started opening the individual wrappers. "I want to though."

Jade smiled as she opened the bag of jumbo marsh mellows. "Thanks." They continued to open everything up and prepare the gooey treats and Jade began to change her mind about this Katherine chick. Maybe she wasn't so bad.

They carried two trays of everything towards the group and fire. Before they were in earshot of everyone though, Kat turned to Jade and smiled a small smile.

"Listen, I know that you and Roy had a thing," she started and Jade looked uneasy at first. "And I know you two hurt each other deeply and Roy won't tell me why, but It's none of my business. But I just want you to know that...me and Roy are just friends."

Jade stared at the goddess in front of her. She looked a bit taken aback but respected that Kat had filled her in on this information. She felt a little better knowing that they didn't have any feelings for each other. Or at least SHE didn't have feelings for Roy.

"Thanks," Jade smiled and brushed back some hair. "I..I'm sorry if I looked like a..a bitch."

Kat laughed, "No way. I just know you and him still have feelings for each other. He talks about you nonstop."

Jade set her plate of marsh mellows and chocolate down and laughed. "Does..does he really?"

"Mhmm. He misses you Jade."

Jade looked down and suddenly felt a wave of sadness wash over her. She found it weird that she was having this conversation with Katherine Mailey. Out of all people.

"I miss him too." Jade finally looked up at her.

Kat's blue eyes shined with sympathy and the actress placed a hand on Jade's shoulder. "Roy is a sweet, gorgeous, even famous guy. And he seems all right for me because we have so much in common! But..truth is, he's still in love with you and you two seem perfect for each other. Plus, I got a boy back home." She winked at her and Jade laughed.

"Thanks Kat. You really are a sweet girl."

"Hey thanks! I think you should talk to him." She smiled a sincere smile.

Jade nodded and looked to Roy, who was currently giving Wally a noogie.

"I think I will." She looked back at Kat and asked, "Who's the lucky guy?"

Kat smiled and her face flushed red. "Actually it's my co-star on Spin."

Jade's mouth dropped open and she squealed lightly. "Austin James!? He is SO cute!"

"I know! He is the greatest!" Her and Jade jumped up and down and they could feel the group's eyes on their backs. They turned around with their trays and began to walk towards the group.

Jade leaned over to Kat and whispered in her ear, "By the way, Heaven and Mitch are the cutest couple on Spin."

Rachel sat at the dock while it was still a little light outside. Her feet were in the cool lake water and she gazed up at the sky. As the wind blew through her purple hair, she thought of Azarath.

Her mother was in the large RV her and Bruce were going to sleep in. It wasn't weird because Arella and Bruce are like brother and sister and Bruce has a girlfriend, Diana.

Rachel thought of what would happen if Trigon came to earth...the thought haunted her every day and she got chills every time it came across her mind. All hell would break loose if he did come and Rachel-or Raven-wasn't ready to take that on. Neither was her mother, Arella.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps approaching her. She turned around and saw Gar. He sat next to her and dipped his feet in the water. She didn't smile or give him a greeting, instead she just stared up at the sky.

Gar stared at her and took in her beautiful futures. Her amethyst eyes which sparkled in the slight sun and her smooth pale skin that glistened as if she were a vampire from Twilight.

"Beautiful .." He didn't realize what he said until Rachel glanced at him in surprise. Now, not only did her cheeks flush red for what seemed like the millionth time, but his did too.

"I uhh..your...um how's summer?" He smiled a toothy grin and scratched the back of his neck.

Rachel rolled her eyes. "It just started you idiot."

"Right...uhh..." He searched for something to talk about but was caught of guard once Rachel quickly asked, "You think I'm beautiful?"

Gar stared at her. He didn't smile or make a lame joke. For once he was serious and said, "Yes. Always."

And then, Rachel did something she never too often did; she smiled.

He smile back and surprisingly laid his hand on top of hers. She felt butterflies in her stomach and she knew her face was probably redder than Kori's she didn't care, because he took Gar's hand too.

Meanwhile, Jenny had walked out of the RV restroom and sat down at the large couch in the RV. In her hand was a pregnancy test and Wally sat next to her on the couch. Everyone was busy so they figured they'd get this over with already.

Jenny inhaled deeply and looked as if she were about to cry. Wally knew the answer and pulled her into his arms. She snuggled into him for a bit and then pulled away. Holding up the test she said, "False alarm."

Wally wasn't sure if he heard her right at first but once he looked at the little minus sign on the test, a smile spread across his face. He jumped up, with Jenny in his arms, and spun around cheering.

When he set Jenny down he exclaimed, "Whew! That is a relief! I mean I'd love to have kids with you but not as a freshmen!"

She laughed and kissed him on the mouth. "Duh. From now on we're abstinent."

"Aw...ah, oh well. As long as that means no more pregnancy scares!"

"Deal. Now, lets go eat some food I'm starved...again. I'm gonna get so fat!"

Wally hushed her and walked out the door pulling his girlfriend along. While they were walking he said, "I love you Jenn."

She smiled and buried her head in his shoulder. "Forever."

Everyone was safe and sound asleep in there tents. They'd long ago gotten ready for bed and now, not only was the moon shining but so were the stars. You could year the jar flies and crickets out and the lake water swished in a soothing motion. Nature really is beautiful.

Kori, Jenny, and Karen were in one tent while Jade, Toni, Rachel, and Kat were in the other. Roy, Vic, and Richard were in another one and Wally, Alain, and Gar were in the last tent. Loud snoring emitted from both of the guy's tents. In Toni's tent, Jade hadn't fallen asleep just yet due to the fact she'd texted Roy a text that said: Meet me at the dock in 5 please.

She slipped on her ugg boots and headed to the dock in her shorts and sweater. As she sat on the dock that she was so fond of, she contemplated what she was going to tell Roy. Of course she wanted to get back together..but did he?

10 minutes passed by and she still sat there. Occasionally she'd look back for the muscular ginger but never saw him. She figured he was asleep and decided to just go back to bed, even though she wasn't tired. Sadly, she wouldn't get her Roy back tonight.

As she got up, she heard a rust nearby her. Her head whipped around to see Roy, scratching his head and yawning. She jumped in fright and nearly screamed.

"EEP!" She sounded like Kori and out a hand to her thumping heart.

"Woah! Sorry, didn't mean to scare ya. Heh..."

Jade breathed deeply and her face turned red of embarrassment. He laughed and she rolled her eyes. "So not funny."

"Ehh...it was pretty good." He shoved his hands in his flannel pj pants. Jade noticed he wasn't wearing a shirt and tried hard not to stare at his insanely toned body.

"I-uhh..." She stuttered and rushed back some hair. "Were you sleeping?"

Roy stared at her funny and laughed, "Yes actually. What did you want to talk about."

Jade stared at him. Her green eyes met his green ones. For a moment, it seemed like one of those perfect romantic movie scenes but Jade kept telling herself that this was reality. She started to say something but couldn't seem to get it out.

So she kissed him.

Yep, she kissed him. And he kissed back, wrapping his arms around her waist as she cupped her hand around his neck. The two kissed for awhile and it seemed like fireworks were going off. It was a perfect moment and neither one of them wanted to break it.

Soon the need for air came up and they pulled apart. At first, they looked slightly surprised and they breathed heavily. But then, Roy smiled and said, "You have no idea how long I've been waiting for that."

On the way home, everyone was pretty upbeat and happy. Bruce was driving and Arella was in the passenger seat. Everyone else was in the back chatting and eating.

After the major kiss with Roy and Jade, they'd stayed up talking for two hours until they finally went to bed. And yes, they were now boyfriend and girlfriend. Word about true newfound relationship spread like poison ivy around the group. So far, they were the only ones who knew. And frankly, they were all extremely happy.

"I'm so glad you guys are back together!" Karen beamed.

Roy kissed Jade on the forehead and smiled. "Me too."

"We're finally a whole again." Gar added.

Richard coughed from his drink and set his cup down. "And Roy is now a little bitch again."

Everyone laughed and Roy glared at the boy wonder. Kori smacked her boyfriend and said, "Be nice!" She turned to Jade and Roy and added, "I think it's great."

"Thanks Kor." Jade replied.

Kat sat next to Toni and listened in on the conversation. She felt as if her talk with Jade worked and she had accomplished something other than being a famous actress. She smiled to herself and couldn't wait to get home to her lover.

"Well," Vic spoke out for all of his friends to hear, "What are we gonna do over summer?"

They all sat silent to think about something. Usually they all did an array of things. But right now, nothing came up.

"Beach."

"Picnics."

"Late night parties."

"Movies."

Richard smiled and added one last thing, "Don't forget."

They all looked at him confusingly and understood what he meant a few seconds later. Kat stared at them awkwardly not knowing the secret message.

No one else would know what they meant except for Richard, Kori, Jade, Roy, Gar, Rachel, Vic, Karen, Toni, Alain, Jenny, and Wally. They were like a Puzzle. If one piece was missing, it wasn't whole. It's just the kind of friendship they had. A friendship that would last forever.
