Reunion
Jessica Wakefield
Jeremy is everything I want him to be. I'm willing to do anything for him! Today we're going to play SimCity on my computer. I think I'm going crazy!!!!! I've got to tell him about the kiss.. I've got to talk to Will... I've got to talk to Mellisa.
Will Simmons
I'm sick of Jessica giving me the cold shoulder. If I got in a fight with Jeremy that would only make her hate me more... Breaking up with Mellisa didn't help much either.... The only way for me to get Jessica is to make her jealous.... I guess I'll give Elizabeth a call.
Conner McDermott
Sunday.... Today I've heard nothing but muffled sobs through the walls of my room. Liz is really taking this hard. I better go talk to her.. I don't seem to be getting far with Cheyenne... might as well use some of my love on Liz for awhile.
Conner tapped lightly on Elizabeth's door. He heard the sobs grow quieter.
" Come in." Her sad voice said. Conner entered her room. Elizabeth lay on her bed cuddled up against that same teddy bear. He closed the door behind him. He started to say something, but he knew words would not help her. He wanted to at least see her happy again. He sat down beside her and cradled her in his arms. She jerked away.
" Leave me alone. You've done enough already Conner." Elizabeth climbed off her bed and cuddled up with her teddy bear in a corner. I feel so sorry for her. Conner thought. He crawled over to the corner where Liz sat and pulled her teddy bear away. He picked her up and held her so she couldn't get away. Then he kissed her. He knew her tears had stopped soon after. Conner knew then how tangled up he was in Elizabeth's world. He was the key to her happiness.

" More popcorn ladies?" Mr. Fox asked Cheyenne and Mellisa.
" No thanks Mr. Fox." Cheyenne said.
" Same here. If I eat anymore popcorn I'll explode!" Mellisa said with a smile. Cheyenne and Mellisa were becoming very good friends. She's so cool. My parents are actually being nice to one of my friends! The phone rang.
" I'll get it Mom!" Mellisa yelled as she picked up the extension. " Hello? Fox residence."
" Mellisa? It's Jessica." Mellisa's stomach did a nose-dive.
" Ok....." Mellisa stammered.
" Mellisa, I know you hate me for kissing Will." Jessica kissed Will?? Oh yeah she told me earlier. I must be getting over him because I forgot all about it!
" Jessica, don't worry about it. It's in the past."
" Really? You don't think I'm a slut?"
" No. Bye."
" Thanks Mellisa see you at cheerleading practice!" Mellisa hung- up the phone. She had been having such a good time until Jessica had called.
" Hey Cheyenne, come with me upstairs real quick."
" Okay." The girls headed upstairs to Mellisa's room.
" What's wrong Mellisa?" Cheyenne asked.
" That was Jessica on the phone."
" One of the twins?"
" Yes. She was begging of my forgiveness for her kissing Will. I was having such a good time and then she brought me crashing down to reality."
" Mellisa, you know you're going to have to face her. You just can't get upset and run away all the time."
" I know.. I just don't think I'm ready for school tomorrow..."
" Are you driving?"
" No. My parents need their cars."
" I'll pick you up tomorrow before school since we're friends and everything and that way we can face the twins and move on with our lives. Deal?"
" Deal!"

Jessica smiled at Jeremy for the millionth time that day. They had
decided to make dinner for their families.
" Jess?"
" Huh?"
" You look like you're in outer space."
" Oh no. I'm fine."
" Okay.. Could you run to the store and pick up some drinks. We're fresh out here."
" Okay. No problem." Jessica hurried to the Jeep. At the Mini-Mart she chose sodas and some tea bags to make sweet tea.
" Hi Jessica." Jessica whirled around to see Will standing in front of her.
" Hi Will."
" I've missed you."
" Will, you know I have a boyfriend...."
" But you certainly weren't thinking of him when you kissed me. Were you Jessica?" Jessica heart started beating really fast. All of a sudden she got hot and nervous.
" I love Jeremy."
" That sounded rehearsed Jessica. You have your choice. You can make it right now. I can give you everything your heart desires..."
" Will......"
" And remember the first time we kissed? Remember the magic and how close we were?" Jessica couldn't help but smile as she remembered the moment they had shared. Then she remembered the consequences of their moment.
" I can't Will."
" But you want to?"
" No." Jessica tried to put her all into her reply, but it sounded more of a lie. Will grabbed her basket and placed it gently on the floor. Then he grabbed her hand and led her out of the Mini-Mart and around the building. He didn't say anything. He let his actions speak louder than his words. Will kissed every part of her body he could see. Then he kissed her lips. Jessica was in a total daze. Jeremy...What about Jeremy? A couple of seconds later guilt struck in. How can I face Jeremy after being with Will? Jessica decided on one thing. She got in her Jeep and followed Will all the way to his house.
