JACK AND ROSE: PRESENT TIME
Chapter
Seventeen
Rose decided to
pick out a casual outfit for tonight. Her, Dominique, Jack, and Fabrizio were
going to go over to Tommy's tonight to try to cheer him up, and get him out of
this deep depression.
Rose heard a honk
of a car outside and ran out the door.
"Hey
Rose," Dominique said as she got into the car.
"Hi, are Jack
and Fabrizio meeting us there?" Rose asked.
"Yep, actually
they are probably already there. I hope Tommy's gonna be alright. I couldn't
believe what you told me."
"I know,"
Rose said. "I can hardly believe it myself."
Once they got there
they knocked on the door, and Fabrizio answered.
"Hey girls,
Jack and Tommy are out on the deck," Fabrizio said. Then he whispered,
"Tommy's very emotional."
Once they got out
there, Rose said, "Hi Tommy, how you doing?"
Tommy smiled.
"Better than I was, I guess. I'm definitely not worse."
"That's
good," Dominique said.
They all started a
conversation, trying to keep Tommy stable. They were talking about what they
wanted to do when they're older.
"So...what are
you going to do with your life Jack?" Dominique asked.
"Well, I'd
like to travel the world."
Fabrizio started
laughing.
"Shut up
Fabri, really. I'd love to wake up in the morning not knowing what's gonna
happen, or who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up."
Rose smiled at
Jack. "That sounds wonderful Jack."
"But in one
condition..." Jack said. "If Rose here travels with me."
Fabrizio rolled his
eyes.
"I'd love
to," Rose said as she smiled at him again.
"I wanna go to
the Olympics, in the year 2004," Dominique said.
"I'll get you some
tickets," Fabrizio said.
"No, I mean I
want to compete against the best gymnasts in the world."
"I think
that's awesome Dom, you know you can. You are great at Gymnastics," Jack
said.
"Thanks Jack,
I'm almost an elite."
Rose noticed Tommy
staring into space again.
"Tommy?"
Tommy's head shot
up.
"You
okay?" she asked.
"Yeah,"
he said. He would always have Tonya in his heart, but he knew that his life
must go on. That's what Tonya would have wanted.
