Love triangle... -Connor.Jessa.Michelle.-

[Connor Evans]

Here Comes Goodbye
I can hear her say I love you like it was yesterday
And I can see it written on her face that she had never felt this way
One day I thought Id see her with her daddy by her side
And violins would play here comes the bride
Here comes goodbye, here comes the last time

Here comes the start of every sleepless night
The first of every tear Im gonna cry
Here comes the pain, Here comes me wishing things would never change
And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye
Why does it have to go from to good to gone?
Before the lights turn on, yeah and youre left alone
All alone, but here comes goodbye
Here Comes Goodbye

Connor jogged off the field and into the locker room. He went over to his locker when the coach walked in, Good game boys, everyone shower and take out your girls. He stripped out of his uniform and took a fast shower. Quickly he packed up his bag and put on a new change of clothes. Then he headed out of the locker rooms with his bag slung over his shoulder. Just as he stepped out with the guys he spotted a girl with her back turned to him, she was wearing a jersey with PETERSON on the back of it. He dropped his bag and lifted her off the ground. She giggled and he spun her around so she could wrap her legs around his waist. Hi baby. Like the game? Yea I did. You played great. From the corner of his eye he could see Jessa leaning against the goalie, Josh. He didn’t know if they were dating or just being cozy…he didn’t want to know. Part of him still wished she was his. He turned his attention back to Michelle in his arms, Want to go out to eat with the team? She nodded and he swung her legs up into his arms so she was cradled against his chest. As she giggled he took her to his car and set her in the passenger seat and threw his bag in the back.

Connor pulled up and parked the car. He took Michelle’s hand and walked into the doors of Applebee’s where the team was waiting. Josh slapped his hand, Good game man! Have a seat and get some food. Jessa was already down the table next to the empty seat where Josh probably was. He slid into the booth behind Michelle and kept her hand in his and rested it on her thigh. She smiled and leaned against his arm so he lifted his arm to put it around her. She leaned into him and he kissed her cheek, Jessa was staring from down the table…she looked upset. He leaned in and kissed her longer, more passionate and then his phone vibrated.

Meet me outside?
No
Please?
Fine...10 mins is all.
I'll take what i can get. thx.

[/size]

Guy's i'm gonna go outside, I need some air. I'll be back in like fifteen. They nodded but Michelle turned to him. Need me to come with you? He leaned in and kissed her passionately, I'll be ok, don't worry about me. He got up and headed outside to wait for Jessa. In a minute she was out the door, We need to talk about us. There is no us, that all went out the door when you slept with half my team. Please let me explain. He was getting mad and upset, this was one thing he didn't want to remember. It's done! We're done! You slept with half my soccer team...we have been over since that! I didn't, she whispered. Well what do you want to call it then?! Tears ran down her cheeks but he couldn't get any closer, she had ripped out his heart. She didn't deserve his comforting. She had been the one to put him through all the pain. They...they...they drugged me...i couldn't fight them off. She was sobbing and collapsed onto the ground. He couldn't stop himself as he sat down and pulled her into his arms. Please don't let them by me alone tonight...please don't let them by me, she whimpered into his shoulder. They won't hurt you. I'm here now. Let's get you home. He pulled out his phone to text Michelle.

Babe, Jessa had a breakdown. I'm gonna take her home, meet me outside?
On my way right now[/size]

She came out the door and lifted Jessa off the ground so she was standing. He took Michelle's hand and they walked to his car. Connor helped both girls into the car and then drove to Jessa's house. He parked the car in Michelle's driveway though...they lived next door to each other and he was going to be at Michelle's house for awhile most likely. I'm gonna walk her to her door, I'll be back in a minute. He told Michelle and gave her a quick sweet kiss. She nodded and went to ssit on the porch swing. He slipped his hand into Jessa's and walked her to her door. I'm sorry I never listened to the truth... It's not your fault, it hurt you...Do you think that we would still be together if you'd known? Without a doubt we'd be together still. He kissed her hand, I'll be next door if you need anything. Just call and I can be over. He saw a single tear slip down her cheek as he went back to Michelle.

He sat down on teh swing next to her and she laid her head in his lap. He laced his fingers with hers and kissed her gently, I love you. He could still see Jessa in her bedroom window...probably thinking about what could have been between them.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Jessa Washington]

Only Hope
There's a song that's inside of my soul.
It's the one that I've tried to
write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold
But you sing to me over and over and over again

So I lay my head back down
and I lift my hands and pray
to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope
Only Hope

Jessa sat in her living room after Connor walked over to Michelle's house and sat on the swing with her. She sighed and leaned against the wall. She really did miss Connor, but he had a new girlfriend now. She went over and laid down the couch. Tears poured down her cheeks. After a few minutes, she got up and headed upstairs. Jessa pulled out her phone and sent a text to Connor:

Things were sorta awkward 2day, but I have something 2 tell u. i have leukemia, I was 2 scared 2 tell u the short time we were dating. I was in remission, but the stupid drugs the team gave me made me come out of remission. I was scared u wouldn't b my bf if i told u. I hope we can still be friends. Hopefully ttys.
-Jess

After it sent, she laid down on her bed. She could see Connor looking up at her bedroom window. Jessa wondered if he was thinking about her while she was thinking of him. Her phone started to ring and she answered it, "Hello?" "Hey, baby," it was Josh. "Oh, hi!" Jessa answered. "Why'd you leave?" he asked, concerned. "I told Connor the truth and I sorta broke down," she replied. "Do you want me to come over and be with you?" Josh questioned. "You really don't have to, if you're having fun. He'll probably come over after he gets my text," she said. "I'll stop by after I eat. I love you, hon. See you soon," he stated before hanging up. "Okay, I love you, too. Bye," she shut her phone. Jessa hugged her pillow to her chest, she was so scared.

She was scared to go to school nowadays. She grabbed the remote for her CD player and hit the 'on' button. Her favorite song, "Only Hope" by Mandy Moore, started to play and she closed her eyes.

'So I lay my head back down
and I lift my hands and pray
to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope'

She wanted all of her pain to go away. She didn't want to be sick again. She didn't want to go through chemotherapy again. She didn't want her hair to fall out in clumps all over again. She wanted to be beautiful and to be loved, but everyone thought she was some sort of sIut. She didn't want to sleep with all those guys, she was forced. She loved Connor and always would love him.

Josh saved her from the rest of the team many times. He was one of the good guys, he knew they were doing it only because they were jealous of Connor. Michelle would probably be next, seeing she was Connor's current girlfriend. Josh was there for Jessa after Connor broke up with her, thinking she slept with the team of her own free will. Josh had invited her over his house and comforted her. They had talked for hours and hours on end. Jessa still wished she was with Connor. It shouldn't have ended this way.

Here Comes Goodbye
I can hear her say I love you like it was yesterday
And I can see it written on her face that she had never felt this way
One day I thought Id see her with her daddy by her side
And violins would play here comes the bride
Here comes goodbye, here comes the last time

Here comes the start of every sleepless night

Here comes the pain, Here comes me wishing things would never change
And she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye
Why does it have to go from to good to gone?
Before the lights turn on, yeah and youre left alone
All alone, but here comes goodbye
Here Comes Goodbye

Connor was with Michelle when he got the text. Michelle was asleep next to him, it was getting late. He figured that it was just someone pranking him with some stupid text but he opened it anyway.

Things were sorta awkward 2day, but I have something 2 tell u. i have leukemia, I was 2 scared 2 tell u the short time we were dating. I was in remission, but the stupid drugs the team gave me made me come out of remission. I was scared u wouldn't b my bf if i told u. I hope we can still be friends. Hopefully ttys.
-Jess

He stared at his phone for what seemed to be hours but was actually only minutes. Then he glanced up at her window and saw her. A single tear slipped down his cheek as what she said sunk in. All he could feel was a terrible pain growing inside him, he didn’t know what, all he knew was that he needed to see her. He saw her on the phone but he texted her back anyway.

Meet me outside? I’ll be on your back porch…

He got up and went to Jessa’s back porch. Connor had no clue what he was doing, all he knew was that he needed her in his arms again. Even if both of them had moved on, he still needed her. It seemed like hours before he heard her back door open. He turned around and saw her walking to him, her head was down and he knew she had been crying. Without thinking he ran onto the porch and picked her up. His lips found hers and he didn’t even think about anything but her, that’s all that mattered, them. He wrapped his arms tighter around her waist to pull her closer to him, if that was possible. He felt whole again when he was kissing her, but she wasn’t his. She was Josh’s…he was Michelle’s… Why didn’t you tell me? I would have stayed with you… He saw a tear slip down her cheek again, I’m sorry. I should have listened, I should have been there to protect you… He dropped his head as he said that. He should have been there for her; he’d really screwed this up. He carried her over to the back steps and sat down but kept her in his lap. I never stopped loving you, he whispered.

Gently he pressed his lips to hers again and kept her wrapped up in his arms. No way would anyone hurt her again, even if she was Josh’s. He still loved her, not how he loved Michelle…but more like he would never let anything happen to her again. Yes what they had was amazing, but it was done…over…in a way he did want it back, but both of them had moved on.

He just sat with her for hours talking, she told him a lot…all except one thing. Who did it? His voice was a whisper as he asked…and she knew exactly what he was referring to. She hid her face in his shoulder and whispered a name but she was too quiet. You can tell me…please. She lifter her head a little bit and he could see the fear in her eyes. He kissed her again and pulled back to let her tell him…

[Michelle Evans]

Michelle was sitting there because Connor left her to go see Jessa. She was bored sitting in her room all alone so she walked outside. She saw Connor on Jessa’s back porch, she walked up as Conner was talking. Bye Jessa, stay strong. I have to get back to Michelle…she’s always there for me, and she doesn’t hide things from me either. Michelle could see the hurt in her eyes, but she had her chance to get him back and she didn’t take it. She had a full three months after they had broken up to get him back, she didn’t take the opportunity and now he was Michelle’s…or so she hoped. Michelle ran up behind them and tackled Connor to the ground as he got up off the step. They fell to the ground and Michelle kissed him. She could hear Jessa try to steady her breath. She smiled against Connor’s lips and his breathing slowed.

Jessa was clearly unhappy with this but Michelle didn’t really care. He wasn’t hers anymore…she would have to get used to seeing them together. They did live next door to each other after all. Michelle did plan on Connor being over there a lot…unless he didn’t want to. After a few minutes of lying on top of him kissing him while Jessa was watching them, she got off of him and got up. He had a smile on his face, Michelle turned to him. I thought you forgot about me…I was getting worried. No, I didn’t forget about you. Jessa cleared her throat and then Connor looked at her. Bye Jessa, see you around school or something. Yeah, bye Jessa. Bye…I hope to talk to you soon Connor… Connor didn’t say a word and they walked back to Michelle’s. Connor had his arms wrapped around her waist as they walked over. They had to get up to her room; on the second floor; by going up the side of the house. Her parents didn’t know that they were out…they weren’t supposed to be, but what they didn’t know wouldn’t hurt them. He helped her up the side and she climbed up to the balcony and then pulled herself up. He didn’t need her help and he got up in even less time than it took her. Once he was up he pulled her into his arms and kissed her, after looking over her shoulder to see if her brother, sister or her father were standing there; they weren’t.

I have to go...i'll see you tomorrow, I love you. He climbed down the side of the house and was gone.[/Blockquote][/Blockquote]

[Jessa Washington]

Only Hope
Sing to me the song of the stars.
Of your galaxy dancing and
laughing and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that you have for me over again

So I lay my head back down
and I lift my hands and pray
to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope
Only Hope

She lifted her head a bit and he could see the fear in her eyes. He kissed her again and pulled back to let her tell him... She curled up against him. "It was a lot of the team ... Zack, Dylan, Cody, Mark, Zeke..." she listed the names in a breathe. He kissed the top of her head and held her close. "Let me stay with you tonight," Connor whispered. Jessa nodded and replied, "Let me text Josh and tell him not to come over." She pulled out her cell and sent him a text:

Something came up, so u can't come ovr.
Cya in school 2moro. I love u! <3

Connor called his parents and have them drop off a change of clothes for tomorrow. After his stuff was dropped off, they headed into the house. He changed in the bathroom while she changed in her bedroom. He came and laid beside her. She buried her face in his chest and he wrapped his arms around her. They fell asleep curled up together. Connor drove her to school in the morning. She told him to go find Michelle. "I love you, I really do but I don't want trouble. We both don't want anything to happen," she explained. he nodded and kissed her quickly before heading off to find Michelle. They converged on her while she was getting things out of her locker. "We heard you and Connor got back together last night," Zack said, leaning against the locker next to hers. "No, he just drove me home. He came over and we talked for a while," Jessa replied. A few of them grabbed her forcefully.

They took her into an empty room. They turned on the lights and locked the door. One of them made her breathe in chloroform to make her drowsy. Then they shoved the drugs down her throat. She wanted to kick, scream, and move, but she couldn't do anything. The guys ripped off her clothes then tied her wrists and ankles with soccer team undershirts. They beat and raped her if she tried to move. They left her on the floor naked and bleeding. A teacher found her a few hours later. Jessa was rushed to the hospital, Josh never leaving her side.

The guys had given her so much drugs that she was nearly in a coma. Jessa still blushed when the coach came in, "Josh, head over to the school. The school board has called a mandatory team meeting. Make sure Connor is called, I know you two weren't involved, but parents will ask questions if everyone isn't at the meeting." Josh took the phone and called Connor, "Hey, man. There is a mandatory meeting at the school. The guys went one step too far. Jessa has broken bones, she is bleeding, and she is nearly in a coma. I'm up at the hospital with her now. The coach told me to call you. He knows we didn't do anything, but people will talk if we don't show up. See you there, bye." It was 11:07:53PM when Josh had called. He kissed her gently and told her he would be back soon before he left.

Jessa's parents came in to sit with her while Josh was gone. She tried to stay awake until he came back but she had too much sedatives in her body that she couldn't keep her eyes open. She drifted off against her will. She hoped everything went okay. Josh would tell her what happened when he came back. Jessa hoped the guys got kicked off the team or expelled. They deserved that.

Connor was over Michelle’s studying and hanging out. He was tickling her sides when his phone rang. It’s Josh! Get it and stop tickling me! She kept giggling but he let her go and answered his phone. What do ya need Josh? Hey, man. There is a mandatory meeting at the school. The guys went one step too far. Jessa has broken bones, she is bleeding, and she is nearly in a coma. I'm up at the hospital with her now. The coach told me to call you. He knows we didn't do anything, but people will talk if we don't show up. See you there, bye. His heart just about stopped as he said that, they were going to get it…nobody was going to stop him. What’s wrong? He took a deep breath and turned to face her, The guys got to Jessa…again. She’s in the hospital, there’s a team meeting so I have to go. Do not go by anyone on the team, ok? She nodded and he cradled her face in his hands and kissed her gently. I have to go, I’ll be back tonight. She sighed as he walked out of her room and went to the meeting…he was pissed.

He shut his car door and spotted Zack walking his way to the school. So what’s this about? He acted like he didn’t know anything. Get away from me right now or I swear I will snap your neck. Connor took off running into the school, he wasn’t going to get expelled for knocking the crap out of his teammate. Josh was inside and he walked with Connor to the Media Center. I swear I’m going to kill him. Well they’re getting kicked off the team… Good they don’t deserve to be on it, they deserve jail time! Josh patted his back, I know, it’s…terrible. His hands were in fists, his knuckles white. Take a breath, I’m pissed too. They got into the room and the coach was there. Why do we need to be here? We wanted the whole team here. Well I don’t want to be here! Just kick them off and get it over with! Just have a seat boys. The other guys filed in and took seats, Connor and Josh stayed as far away as they could. The meeting started and they kicked most of the guys off the team.

The guys that were kicked off walked ahead of Josh and Connor. His phone vibrated from a text,

I’m waiting out in the parking lot.

[/font][/center]

NO! Josh had seen the text and the two of them took off running full speed through the school to the doors. Just as they burst through the doors Connor spotted Zack pinning Michelle to her car. GET AWAY FROM HER! Zack turned around and smirked at him before turning back to Michelle. CONNOR HELP! He was faster than Josh so he was a good 20 feet ahead of him. Zack leaned in and it looked like he was kissing her. Connor reached them and tore Zack away from the car. He threw him back and stood in front of Michelle, GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE! I wasn’t done, you get all the good ones it seems. He lunged forward but Connor’s fist collided with his nose. LEAVE NOW OR I’LL BREAK YOUR NECK! Zack got back up and tried to get around him but Josh was there helping now. They were both in front of Michelle as he came forward again. This time two fists were landing punches on him and when he finally stayed down they stopped. Leave…now! Zack got up and stumbled to his car, Josh went to his car and Connor turned around.

Connor pulled Michelle’s shaking frame into his arms. I’m here sweetie. I won’t let him get to you, ever. I promise. She started to sob against him, he scooped her up in his arms and carried her to his car. Her car would just have to be driven home later, he was taking her home now. He settled her into the passenger seat and sped to her house. Connor carried her up to her room since her parents weren’t home. He sat down on her bed with her in his arms and held her. I won’t let anyone hurt you, I promise. I love you. Did he hurt you? He was pretty sure Josh was going to tell Jessa what happened. He’d have to go see her later. Connor kissed her head gently over and over as he waited for her to tell him what happened.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

Michelle was bored without Connor there so she decided to go to the school and wait for him to get out of the meeting. She texted him,

I’m waiting out in the parking lot.

She saw Zack coming out of the school and she started to get a little nervous. When she realized that he was coming to her. Her breathing started to pick up and he pinned her to the car. He started to kiss her but she was trying to fight him. Connor started to yell at him and he looked at him and smirked. He then turned to Michelle, and kissed her again. She asked Connor to help her and he was there soon. Connor tore Zack from her and he stood in front of Michelle. He told him to get out of there and when he lunged forward Connor’s fist collided with his nose. Connor turned around after the fight and pulled Michelle’s shaking frame into his arms. I’m here sweetie. I won’t let him get to you, ever. I promise. She couldn’t help it, she started to sob uncontrollably against him. He scooped her up in his arms and carried her into his car. They would get her car later. He settled her into the passenger seat and sped to her house. Connor carried her up to her room since her parents weren’t home. He sat down on her bed and held her. I won’t let anyone hurt you, I promise. I love you. Did her hurt you? Connor kissed her head gently over and over as he waited for her to tell him what happened.

I got there, and I was waiting for you. I was standing there for a few minutes and he started to come out of the school and started his way to me. I got scared, and when he pinned me to the car, he started to kiss me. I tried to fight him but I couldn’t get away from him. He was too strong, I couldn’t get out from his arms. I got really really scared Connor. You don’t have to worry about him now, I won’t let him hurt you ever. He said as he kissed her head and rubbed her back gently. She steadied her breathing and stopped crying. She wiped her eyes and he kissed her lips gently. You ok baby? She nodded and leaned against him.

Would you mind if I go to the hospital to see Jessa? Michelle sighed and shook her head ‘no’, she knew that Jessa would want to see him and she probably already hated her because she took Connor from her. Would you like to come with me? I will if you want me to…but I’m not sure that Jessa would like that. I don’t think she likes me very much. Well if she’s mean to you then we’ll leave. It’ll be easier for me to handle it with you there. She nodded and they left for the hospital.[/Blockquote][/Blockquote]

Josh was sitting in Jessa's room alone when Connor and Michelle came in. “Where’s Jessa?

[/b]” Connor asked, pulling up a chair next to Josh. Michelle sat in Connor’s lap. “They took her back for some tests, she should be back soon,”[/b] Josh said. Just then, Jessa was wheeled back into the room. She was looking pale. Josh went over and kneeled in front of her. "What's wrong, baby?" he asked her, concerned. "I have to get a bone marrow transplant," she whispered in reply. "You know I would do anything for you," he told her.

"You might not be a perfect match, Josh," she explained. "So? That won't stop me from getting tested. I'm sure Connor will get tested, too, right?" he answered, turning to face Connor. "Of course, I will. Jessa, you're like a sister to me, I'd do anything to make sure you get better," Connor replied, giving her a sincere look. "Michelle, you'll get tested, too, right?" Josh questioned. Michelle looked embarassed then. "You don't have to if you want to, love," Connor told her. "I'm going to go get tested now. Can you stay with her until i get back?" Josh said, standing up. Connor nodded in reply.

Josh kissed her head before he walked out of the room. "Hey, Jessa. What do you think of the idea of making flyers or posters to put around the school? You might be able to find a match for your transplant faster," Connor asked her. "Um, sure, I guess, but I'm not a good artist," Jessa replied. "Michelle is good at drawing, she could probably draw something up. Will you, baby?" Connor replied. "I guess so," Michelle said soflty.

Josh came back and Connor went to get tested. Michelle waited in the room with Josh and Jessa. Connor came back then he and Michelle left. They came up the next day and Michelle showed her the posters she had come up with:

HELP OUT A FELLOW STUDENT TODAY!

You probably know Jessa Washington. She is a Senior this year.
There is something you don’t know about Jessa, she has leukemia
and she needs a bone marrow transplant. You could be the one
person who could save her life. If you want to help a friend or a
fellow student, you can go to your nearest hospital and get your
bone marrow tested. Who knows? You could be her only hope.

"I like them," Jessa said softly. Connor and Michelle said good-bye, then left the room. A doctor stopped them in the hallway and asked to talk to Connor in private. "Mr. Evans, you are a 99.9% match for Jessa. Would you be willing to go through with the bone marrow transplant with her?" the doctor asked him. He waited for Connor's reply then.[/blockquote]

Connor had a huge decision to make, he knew that michelle didn't want him to do this but if it would save her life... I'll do it, but keep looking for a perfect match. The doctor nodded and left. Connor walked back over to Michelle, You're her match aren't you? He nodded and wrapped his arms around her, She once ment something to me...I can't just watch her die...I can't. She's like my sister...I couldn't watch Rosie die. Michelle nodded and scooted out of his arms, he knew she was upset at him. She doesn't know... Well go tell her, I'm sure she'll be thrilled. She said sarcastically. He rolled his eyes and walked off towards the car, I'll drop you off at home, he said in a pissed off voice. He just had to make the hardest decision of his life and she didn't even try to understand.

Connor drove her to her house. Bye, she leaned over to kiss him but he didn't move. Bye. She turned and got out of the car. He really shouldn't have done that but she never understood and it hurt. How could she always think that he wanted Jessa?! If he wanted Jessa then he wouldn't be with her, wasn't that obvious?! He put his head on the steering wheel and shut his eyes, there was a knock on his window...it was Michelle. He rolled down his window, I'm sorry... Connor opened up the car door and stepped out. His arms were around her faster than she could blink. He felt very...stupid..as the tears came out. But really his girlfriend thought he wanted some other girl when he only

[/u][/size] wanted her. Are you crying? He slid down the car and dropped his head to his knees, How could I live if I knew that I could have saved her? I would always wonder, what if? He just talked with her most of the night.

~Transplant day~

Connor was pretty nervous, there was a .1% chance that it wouldn't work. Michelle didn't want to be there, it was still too much for her. He went in to see Jessa, Hey, how ya feelin? She shrugged, she looked weak. Josh wasn't there today so she was alone. He sat down next to her, What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with Michelle? Gently he took her hand, Today I'm here for you. Realization of his words came quickly and tears came to her eyes, she mouthed a thank you to him. Always. He kissed her head gently and the nurse came in to take him to get ready.

It was a short walk to a room. Ok son sit up there. Roll up your sleeve, he did as she said. He couldn't believe that he was really going to do this. Am I the best match they have? Well there was some Josh West that was a hundred % match... That's her boyfriend...why doesn't he do it? We couldn't get ahold of him...she needs this. Can you try again? If not then take mine and wait to get his before you give her the transplant...his would work better. She nodded, We can do that hon. I think he was gonna come up later. Connor nodded and finished rolling up his sleeve. She pulled out a syringe, This is going to hurt...a lot. He grimaced but nodded. She laid him back and strapped down his arm so he didn't move. It would go straight into the bone...but he could do it. He shut his eyes against the pain and tried to focus on something else...it would help if Michelle was there but no, she had to pick today to stay away. He could feel it go into his bone, it hurt like hell... Ok hon just about done. You did great. He opened his eyes and then Josh decided to walk in. Dumbass where the hell have you been?! You're a perfect match! The nurse put gauze on his arm and taped it on. Josh took his spot on the table, I'm going back by her... Josh nodded and Connor left.

He walked in and she looked over at him, Josh is a perfect match, you'll have a better chance of not rejecting his. She looked down at his arm, So what's with that then? He showed up after I was done. She nodded, I really have to go now. Bye. He turned and left, he needed to see Michelle...now.
