Here is a quick review of what happened before my story started: Jessica and Will were happily dating, before he broke it off, claiming he needed space. Elizabeth and Conner are as happy as ever. Now, this story is solely based on Jessica and Will. Hope you enjoy it!
* * * * Jessica Wakefield stared in the foggy bathroom mirror. Her lips trembled slightly and she groaned. I can't start crying again. Jessica moaned silently. She forced a watery smile. Suddenly the bathroom door to Elizabeth's door flew open. Before Jessica had a chance to say anything Elizabeth buried her head inside a drawer searching frantically. "Ugh! Jess, I need some help. I am getting ready for my date with Conner..." Elizabeth started but trailed off. "Ah-ha! I found it!" Liz squealed, pulling a small compact of blue eyeshadow out of a wooden drawer. "Can I borrow this...Jess! What's wrong!" Elizabeth gasped, her blue-green eyes clouding with concern. "Will dumped me." Jessica whispered hoarsely. She bit her red lip and closed her eyes, fighting the tears that were building up behind her eyes. "Oh my God, Jess! I am so sorry." Elizabeth said and pulled her trembling sister into her arms. "What happened? Why is he doing this to you?" "He said that he needed space and I was to..to...clingy!" Jessica wailed pulling out of her sisters arms. The sound of the doorbell made the girls jump and Jessica stared into Liz's eyes. "Right, well, we'll talk later, Jess. Feel better." Elizabeth said distractedly as she backed out of the door. Right, just like all the times you said we would talk before. But now that Conner is in your life you barely had a chance to talk to me about anything. Jessica thought bitterly. Will Simmions looked at the picture of Jessica one last time before placing the frame on his bedside table, where it belonged. She was smiling in the picture, looking so happy that she might burst. Actually, they both looked happy. Will saw the same expression on Jessica's face as his own. "Why did I do this to you, Jess?" Will whispered. He gulped in a deep breath and picked up the picture again. "You weren't too clingy, the problem was me all along, Jess. Me." Will mumbled wiping a tear that sprang at the corner of his blue eyes. Evan Plummer laughed atuomatically at something that Andy said. He stared at the table of his friends. Elizabeth, Conner, Andy, Tia, Maria, Ken and even Angel had come back into town for the weekend. He was happy, alright. Happy sitting alone staring at all the happy little couples. "Hey, Liz, where's Jess?" Evan asked suddenly, interupting what Elizabeth was saying completely. "She didn't want to go out tonight or something. Oh yeah...Will broke up with her, I think." Elizabeth said distractidly. Evan's heart dropped to his white Adidas sneakers. She's free! He thought excitedly, Jessica was finally his for the taking! "He what?!" Tia exclaimed. "Yeah, I wasn't really paying attention." Elizabeth shurgged and smiled at Conner. "I just wanted to get away from her, ya know?" "We gotta go talk to her!" Maria said, jumping to her feet. "Yeah, let's go, Liz. This is really serious. Jessica must be dying right now."Tia jumped in. Evan barely heard the girls, his thoughts moved to Elizabeth. How can anyone be so cruel? He thought to himself angrily. "Come on, she needs to be alone." Elizabeth snapped. "Who cares about her right now? We're having a good time and I don't want her to ruin it!" Liz's voice suddenly became harsh. Maria and Tia sat down slowly everyone's gaze shifted to Liz. "They'll get back together soon. It's just a phase. Will and Jess love eachother." Even though the words sliced through Evan's gut, he knew they weren't true. Anyone who dumped Jessica Wakefield must be out of his mind. Click here for Chapter 2 |
