Times Like These-- Chapter 5

Michelle got back to the hotel and dropped the guys off. JC invited her into his room. As she stepped in she was surrounded by upscale, nice, and expensive furniture. She walked around in awe. She walked back to JC on the balcony.

"Would you like me to get pizza or something for you and the other guys? It would be easy. It's right down the street." Michelle asked. She could see the whole town, including a great view of Cherion Falls. The waterfalls spilled over the cliff and the water was illuminated by the nearby city.

"Are you sure? We could just get something down at the restaurant and bring it back up." Michelle shook her head.

"No, it's no problem. But, would you come with me?" Michelle wasn't the one to beat around the bush. If she liked a guy she would be upfront about it.

"Y-Yes...s-sure, that's n-no problem." Michelle had laughed. JC wasn't used to the fridgid December air that Michigan brought.

"Why don't we go back inside and order the pizza?" Michelle suggested. As they stepped back in reality smacked her right in the face. "Wait, where are Jess and Justin? Shouldn't they be back by now?" JC nodded. He had noticed the way both Chris and Justin looked at Jessica. He had figured that Jess liked Justin too because they were both close in age and had more in common. He felt a tinge of pain for Chris. He would be devastated if something happened.

"Yes, what did you want to do? Look for them?" Michelle sighed. "We won't find them. The towns to big." She picked up the phone and dialed the Pizza Place.

JC watched Michelle, her black hair fell loose on her back. In his eyes, she was everything that he needed. He has been so alone, yea, he has the guys. But he needs someone that he can be totally honest with...without the conflict of interests that arise in the group. As she dialed her mother to tell her where she was, he pondered whether or not he should go for it. He didn't want his constantly being away to hurt her. His thoughts were interrupted by Michelle hanging up the phone.

"The pizza will be ready in half an hour. Is that OK?" JC smiled.

"Yea, that's fine. What did you want to do in the meantime?" He pointed at the various things they had to do. "Nintendo, Movies, oh wait, there's an indoor pool downstairs! Want to go swimming? I want to, please?" Michelle thought about it for a while, and since she was on the swim team at school she did have a bathing suit in her car.

"Sure. Let me run downstairs and get my bathing suit." JC jumped in excitement.

"OK, while I change you can go downstairs, I'll be ready by the time you come back up."

"OK, Be right back."
