One More Time - Prologue

'Been around the world
and ive seen your face 1 million times
I just can't believe your out of my life
tell me what am i to do
give me one more day with you
baby i just need you in my life one more time

Jina placed her hand against the soft black and white pages of La Plata High School's class of 1996 yearbook. She put her hand over a firmilar face although in black and white Jina still pictured his face in color. His brown eyes, and black hair well before she left it was black but in the picture he decided he'd dye the top blonde.Jina's long dark reddish hair hung over her shouldures and almost touched the pages of the book. A tear fell onto the page. Jina shut her hazel eyes for a quick second to remember the last day.

"So your leaving today", it was graduation day and the ceremony had just ended Jina was going off to New York to go Five Towns College on Long Island to study Radio Broadcasting(a\n:i know again but i have an idea that follows this) and Joel was going to stay in Waldorph to play music with his band.

"Yah", there was an aquard silence between the two.

"You know that fight we had last night, Im sorry but I really think we should call it quits for a while since we're both going to be doing our own things you know?", he questioned. The night before Joel told Jina that he felt that they should stop seeing each other since she wont even return home to Waldorph for holidays that they should see other people until they were together or maybe it was just the best thing.

"Yeah, I agree", Jina turned around and began to walk towards her home. The grassy football field wet from the massive rain storm they had a few nights before. She trudged through the grass in her new white shoes and her blue graduation robe.

"Wait! here", he ran to catch up with her and handed her a black box.

"Whats this Joel?", she looked at it.

"Just somethig to remember us by", he told her.

"I dont need to remember any of it", she told him handing the black box back to him. Joel watched as she began to run.

How could she have been so stupid why hadn't she taken the black box, she would now never know what the black box contained. This was all a heart ache of the past and being with 2 other guys since Joel had kept her mind off of him latley. Until the other day when she graduated college and one of her professors got her a job in Maryland Waldorf to be exact and she would have to go back down there and work at one of their local rock stations called WWZZ (104.1 FM). Jina moved to Maryland in the summer of 1991 because of her fathers job in the military she had moved to about 9 different states in the total of 3 months. After her mom got sick they settled in Waldorf where Jina grew up and lost both of her parents. Her mom died when she was in 9th grade and her dad died in a plane crash while practicing in his F14 fighter jet. After that Jina moved in with a foster family in Waldorf being that she didn't have any relatives in Maryland and she didn't really know any of them. Jina shut the year book and looked at the bumpy black cover with the sun on it. She placed it in a cardboard box. Her dorm was empty and her roomate had already left and she was the last to leave. She then decided to put the yearbook in her dark pink jansport backpack so that she could have it on her during the plane ride back to MD. Jina pulled herself together and looked down at herself. She was wearing gray dickies, black converses, and a black tank top. She looked in the last object left in the room which was a mirror that was the schools. She tried to smile and grabbed the bags she'd bring with her on the plane the rest of the boxes were to sent out later that night by the people who ran the dorm so that it would reach her new aparment when she would get there.

"We want to thank you kids for coming to our show tonight God Bless!", Joel yelled into the mic. He was wearing a black made shirt and shorts with black converses and his hair was in a little mohawk type of style. He looked over at his brother who was touching the crowds hands. His twin looked just like him the same facial features, he was wearing a black shirt with blue dickies and black converses. Joel ran backstage to where everyone was just hanging around. The boys all piled into the small dressing room onto a black leather couch. Besides Joel and his bro Benji there were two other members of the Good Charlotte clan. Bill and Paul. Billy had semi long dark hair that reached his chin and was sometimes in spikes, he was wearing a level 27 shirt with dark pants and converses. Paul basically just wore all black and he as wearing boots and his hair was black and white. Joel took a towel from the table next to the couch and placed it around his neck.

"That was f*cking incredable",Paul stated exhausted as he just hauled himself onto the couch. Billy strolled in last putting his hands through his hair.

"Well looks like it's back to Waldorph for a few weeks, do a few MD shows and we're off again, but at least we get a few days off", Billy stated as he sat down on the cold floor and grabbed a bottle of water.

"Yeah", Benji stated.

"Joel you've been really quiet tonight is there something on your mind?", he questioned.

"Oh nothing.. I was just thinking who was Heather talking to on her celly the other day?", Heather was Benji's girl and one of Jina's best friends from High School.

"Why do you wanna know? why do you care who calls Heather whats this about Joel?", Benji looked confused.

"I think it was........ Jina", he looked around at everyone as the room got quiet and he literally heard the criquets croaking. Paul snorted.

"Not f*cking funny man", Joel stated hitting him in the arm.

"You carry that dumb box around like one day your randomly going to walk into her and she's going to fall into your arms and fall in love with you Joel your such a f*cking helpless romantic. How many girls have you slept with since Jina?", Paul questioned him.

"1 and whats the difference Im not a slut like you!",Joel stated standing up.

"Guys stop it! do you two always have to argue about pettty things", Billy stated taking a sip of his water.

"YES!", they both shouted. Joel threw his hands up in the air.

"Im going to the tour bus I need sleep Im not in the mood to f*ck myself up with alcohol".

"ITZ ROOTBEER FOR ALL!!!", Benji stated looking at a cooler that sat next to the couch. Joel snickered and left the room.

"ROOTBEER NICE BENJ!", Billy yelled.

"Jina what made him think of her", Benji rolled his eyes.

"She was only our friend in High School", Paul stated.

"You know Joel he's a drama queen", Benji stated with a smile.

"Lets get drunk!", Paul stated changing the subject.

Joel picked up the black box that was in the cubby in his bunk. He opened it up and looked at the little box with Jina and Joel's picture in a heart frame that was attached to the top of it. Inside were two rings one said Together and the other said forever. It was cheezy but he loved that girl despite what he told everyone.
