Song: I Love U

By: Love Caliber

Start song at (1)

Song suggested by Jakob Silverheart. Thank you for the idea!

Jack had the courtesy to look sheepish at Mary's semi-scrolling.

"Aunt Greta has been looking for you, you know?!"

"Ooooooo." The kids teased.

Jack rubbed the back of his neck. "Ok, I'm on the way."

Mary smiled sympathetically and went inside.

As Jack reached the kitchen and was headed towards the dining room door he was ambushed by Candice."Oh Jack, thank goodness I caught you!"

Jack winced. "Is Aunt Greta that mad?"

"Huh? I don't know but it's me I was talking about. I have a real problem and I need some advice!"

Grateful for an excuse to put off facing his stern faced relative, Jack followed Candice into a separate room.

Candice started to pace as soon as she closed the door. "I know that your from a time when things were done differently, but you have seen people and trends change so I think that you would be the best to ask. Although maybe because your a boy you won't be able to help, then again it's because your a boy-and the coolest boy I'm related to-that I thought you would know what to do in the first place. At the same time what's wrong is me and I'm a girl so it might be that I'm the only one who can fix things so-"

"Woh, woh, slow down! Candice take a deep breath and start from the top. What is it that you want help with exactly?"

Following her Uncle's suggestion Candice callmed herself and started at the beginning." You see there's this guy in school and, oh man, I don't even have the words to describe how I feel about him!" Her face became dreamy and she shied in a blissful way. "He's smart and fun! He's got these eyes, and such hair-WOW- and his smile!"

"Ami. C'est l'amour!" Jack said in a decent french accent.

"I know, I know. But he doesn't know how I feel and whenever I try to tell him I go completely blank!"

"What do you mean?"

(1) "I've tried to write down the word to say to him, practiced them for five days in order to make sure they sound right. I don't doubt for a second that he's the one but, even when I'm determined to go all the way, when he touches my hand it all goes away. All I do is ramble on and sound so cliche, Oh why can't I just come out and say I love him?"

Her voice seemed to unintentional start singing and Jack could easily picture the scenes she was describing.

"He doesn't know how I shiver around him, I don't show it on the outside but that's because he deserves no less than perfection and I am good at hiding it. I see him and I get so confused, it's like he turns my souled gold control into sand. He just takes my breath away!"

Jack started thinking over the symptoms she was describing. In the end he knew three things. Candice was so lost because her usually well planned out strategies were of no use. This boy she liked had to be quite the gentleman because the interactions Candice was describing were nothing if not kind not to mention Candice had always been a really good judge of character. And that Candice had the love sickness BAD!

"It sounds so stupid now but what I'm trying to do, what I'm trying to do is tell him 'I love you!'" Candice was panting, she had gotten so worked up.

Jack walked over to her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "Well it seems to me that you got the right attitude and determination. You struggle with the confession part because you get overwhelmed right?"

Candice thought about it and nodded.

"Then my suggestion is...to underwhelm the situation.

"How-"

Jack took a snowflake from his hair, one that had Candice calm and happy in it, and sent it to land on her nose.

Candice felt all her apprehension fall away. She turned to Jack and asked" "Can you do that again, when I next talk to him?" Jack smiled and that was all the agreement she needed. Grabbing him in a hug she practically squealed: "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!"

Jack hugged her back. He had every intention of being there for Candice but the snowflake he let nip her nose that day would be just snow. A little belief can go along way,if she believes she has nothing to worry about she won't. I'll tell her that it was just snow and not a special flake after she tells this boy how she feels. Hopefully he feels the same way. He thought.

I know it's been awhile, sorry! :( One shot stories sometimes take awhile, not that that is in anyway a good reason to leave you all hanging. Thank you to all who are still reading! I can't promise that I'll be any faster with new chapters but I am still writing this and my other songfic stories. Truthfully I have more ideas for them then I ever thought I would.
