FALLING INTO YOU
Chapter Five
Rose was at the fountain where Jack told her
to meet him.
He said that he had some things he wanted to
tell her that were very important. Rose was curious about the important things
that he wanted to tell her. Jack pulled up in his car, and he came over to
where Rose was.
"Well, what is the very important news
that you wanted to tell me?" Rose asked.
"So, you are sure that your fiance
didn't talk much about the phone calls and stuff, right?" Jack asked.
Rose nodded her head, and said, "Yes, of
course I am."
"Well, the thing is, is that when we
were researching Hockley, he had his own gang. And your James was part of
it," Jack said.
Rose's smile faded, and she shook her head in
disbelief. "No, not my James," Rose said.
Jack nodded his head, and said, "Listen,
I know that you won't believe this, but it's true."
Rose started to cry, saying, "No, not my
James."
Jack took hold of Rose, and said, "Rose!
Rose! Calm down!"
Rose started to calm down a little bit.
"He wouldn't do that. James wasn't like that!" Rose said.
"Well, guess what, Rose, I bet you
didn't think that he would die in the park, now, would you? We never know when
we're going to go, or what is behind people. But I have tons of fingerprints,
and research behind James, and he is part of Hockley's group. You can either
believe it or not, but whichever one you choose, it is still real. And there is
nothing you can do," Jack said.
Rose started to cry, and she hugged Jack.
Jack petted Rose's hair that was half down.
Rose went back to her apartment, and she saw
Rachel and Jessica there, waiting patiently.
"Well?" Jessica asked.
Rose shook her head, and set down her keys
and purse. "No, it was really the case," Rose replied.
"Babe, don't walk away. Tell,"
Rachel said.
"James was part of this group that
Hockley made. They think that's the reason that he died," Rose said.
"Oh, Rose, I'm sorry," Jessica
said, patting Rose on the back.
"It's all right, remember? My heart
belongs to James, and always will," Rose said, showing the engagement
ring.
"Rose, if James could talk to you from
heaven, he would say to you that you should go on with your life. Not sit
around and mope," Rachel said.
"I'm not moping, and besides, I only have
two weeks left...we only have two weeks left," Rose said.
"It's all right, Rose. They'll get
him," Jessica said.
Rose nodded, and said, "I hope so."
