Freshmen year... Connor/Michelle/Josh/Jessa

[Connor Evans]

Ok team good practice, hit the showers. I'll see you at tomorrow's game. Connor lifted himself off the ground and started across the field towards the locker room. Josh caught up with him, Hey is Michelle staying up here after the game tomorrow? I don't really know. I've talked to her a few times this week but thats all. With exams and practice I haven't even seen her in like a week. I'll ask her tonight. Why don't you ask her now? Connor whipped his head around looking for her. A whole week without her was killing him. He needed her like he needed air, without her life was untolerable. He could see Jessa standing off to the side and he smiled as he saw a figure appearing behind her. She assumed he was smiling at her and smiled back but then Michelle broke out into a sprint toward him. Connor dropped his duffle and caught her as she jumped into his arms. The world seemed to stop with her in his arms. I missed you so much... I missed you too...so so much. He pressed his lips to hers but he couldn't get enough. The world seemed perfect with her in his arms. God I love you so much. He said inbetween kisses. By now Josh had made it over to Jessa, See you two later. I'm using the dorms shower. Josh nodded and walked off with Jessa, he always hurried up so he could get back to her.

Connor held Michelle's hand and led her across campus to the guys dorms. Not many people kept the girls out of their dorms so it was fine that he brought her up to his room. He stepped in and threw his duffle by the desk. You look a little bit hot... she said seductively and pulled his shirt off. Her hands ran over his even more toned chest. She seemed to notice, Workin out just for me? Always, to please my lady. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck, I love you so much. I love you too baby. Shower? Instead of answering she pushed him into the bathroom. He ran his hands up her shirt and then just pulled off her shirt. If I'm going to fast just say so and I'll stop. . . You're not, don't stop. I missed you too much. He smiled and let her push his boxers to the floor. She pulled herself tight against him and he wasn't objecting. He had missed her so much it was almost impossible to not get excited but he was fighting it...she noticed everything though...I missed you too, she said as she pulled him into another kiss. Connor played with the button on her pants, she nodded and let him undo her jeans. We can stop whenever you want... She smirked and shimmied out of her jeans. He lifted his hands to cradle her face but she moved his hands back to her waist, I'm ok, I want more than just this... He raised his eyebrow at her as he slipped her underwear down her legs. He helped her into the shower and kept his arms around her.

Things got pretty heated quickly. Each kiss, and touch was so much more because of being away from each other leaving the absence. Connors hands ran up her inner thigh, her hands were all over him. She seemed like she couldn't get enough. The door opened and it annoyed Connor, he kept kissing Michelle. Get out! Sorta busy here! He kept right on kissing his girlfriend, he had warned that they would be using the shower. Don't stare at my boyfriend. You have your own... That's when it hit him, Jessa was staring...at his waist. No way was Michelle having that. . .

[Michelle Evans]

It had been along time since she saw Connor, that was killing her. He would call her every night before he went to bed. She would look forward to his call every night. She had been planning it for a while that she would go see him. She knew that he had a big game coming up so she would surprise him and show up the day before the game. If he didn’t want her to stay then she could go home and come back for the game if he wanted her to be there. She really hoped that he would want to see her as much as she wanted to see him. She drove to Washington State University to see Connor. When she got there she found somewhere to park and she knew that Connor would still be at practice. She made her way through the field; she saw all the college girls and didn’t understand why Connor still wanted her. He could have any girl there and she knew it. Michelle looked around for Connor and saw him talking to Josh. Josh must have noticed her. Connor’s hear whipped around so fast she was surprised he didn’t get whip lash. Michelle took off ruing to him. He had a huge smile on his face. He caught her as she jumped into his arms. I missed you so much. I missed you too…so so much. He pressed his lips to hers and she wanted him then and there. God I love you so much. He said in-between kisses. Josh made it over to Jessa; Michelle still didn’t like the fact that Jessa was always just a few feet from Connor’s bed, but she trusted him. Josh said ‘goodbye’ and walked off with Jessa. I’m using the dorms shower. Michelle smiled, she knew what he had in mind and needed it as bad as he did. Connor held Michelle’s hand and led her across campus to his dorm. He stepped I and threw his bag by the desk. You look a little bit hot. She said seductively as she pulled off his shirt. Her hands ran up his chest, it was more toned than before. Workin’ out just for me? Always, to please my lady. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. I love you so much. I love you too baby. Shower?

She couldn’t wait any longer, she pushed him into the bathroom. He ran his hands up her shirt and he pulled it off. If I’m going to fast just say so ad I’ll stop… You’re not, don’t stop. I missed you too much. He smiled and she slid his boxers down to the floor. She pulled herself against him, it had been way too long. Then she could feel him getting excited and it only made her smile more. It had been so long since she saw him so she noticed everything; it was like he was completely new to her, yet she was so familiar with him. I missed you too. She said as she pulled him into another kiss. His hand traveled to her jeans. He played with the button on her jeans, she nodded and he un-did the button. We can stop whenever you want… She smirked and shimmied out of her jeans. He moved his hands to her face; she didn’t want them there. She moved them back to her waist, I’m ok, I want more than just this… He slipped her underwear down her legs, he kept his arms around her as he helped her into the shower. Connor’s hands ran up her inner thigh, she couldn’t keep her hands off of him. Each kiss left her wanting more. All of a sudden the door opened, Connor didn’t seem phased, he kept kissing Michelle. Get out! Sorta busy here! Michelle heard a gasp and she looked to her side to see Jessa starting at Connor. Don’t stare at my boyfriend. You have your own. Michelle couldn’t have his ex staring at his waist. She wrapped her leg around his waist to cover him. Are you just going to stand there and stare? Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Go! Jessa shut the door. Michelle pulled their hips together, You’re mine. Se said as he kissed her.

After a while they were done. He helped her out of the shower. She got dressed ad walked into Connor’s room. She noticed Josh ad Jessa on the couch; Jessa couldn’t look at her, she had her head buried in Josh’s chest. She was sitting on Connor’s bed when he came in and wrapped his arms around her. His lips brushed her ear, I love you. I love you too. I can’t wait until I come here. Huh? I want to come here, so I can see you all the time. He didn’t say anything for a few minutes. Do you not want me to come here? Still he said nothing. She grabbed her hoddie and ran out of the dorms. Josh and Jessa were still on the couch watching some stupid movie. Michelle made it to the benches outside and started to cry. She soon felt a hand on her shoulder. She could tell that it wasn’t Connor, Connor’s touch was softer; this was a forceful touch. She couldn’t tell who it was…maybe one of the guys that were watching her get out of the car earlier that day… She turned around to see Zack standing over her. She started to breathe heavier. Please let Connor come get me! She heard footsteps running toward them but didn’t look to see who it was, she didn’t want to take her eyes off of Zack.

[Connor Evans]

Michelle ran out of the room and Connor as almost positive she was crying. It just shocked him that she would want to be with him. He knew she wanted to go to California, UCLA to be more exact. Zack ran down the hall, I’m soo getting your girl. Connor was out the door and on Zack’s heels. Zack was still ahead of him though, he’d skipped practice unlike Connor. As he ran down the stairs Connor slowed down, he was tired as hell and sore from practice. By the time he got to the front doors Zack was with Michelle. He flew out the door and ran toward them, Zack had her off her feet and had his arms wrapped around her waist. Connor had lost one of his girls to Zack, that wasn’t going to happen again. Zack let go! Shh baby. Connor was there now, he slipped his hand into Michelle’s and he could feel her heart racing. He was tight agains her now, Let go of her, now, he said through clenched teeth. Zack’s hold on her got tighter and she winced, LET GO OF HER! You hurt her, she’s mine. Zack got closer to kiss her but she leaned back against Connor. Aw baby, don’t be like that. Get away! Only if I get a kiss. She sighed but leaned in to kiss his cheek. At the last second he turned his head and kissed her full on the mouth. She went to pull away but his hands were behind her head holding her to him. He moaned and Connor could see her gagging. She squeezed Connor’s hand so he pulled her away from Zack. She immediately buried her face in Connors chest. Get the hell out of here before I beat the crap out of you. God she’s a damn good kisser… He turned and jogged away. Michelle shoved him away and he was confused, I think I’m gonna be sick. She ran over to the garbage and threw up, Connor was right behind her holding her hair back. When she was done he scooped her up and carried her back to the bench. He offered her a piece of gum and she took it. Kissing him is that bad? It wasn’t just a kiss… What do you mean? Tongue… Connor was really pissed now…not only did he kiss her but he was using his tongue. She laid her head against his chest and shut her eyes; he cradled her against his chest and carried her up to his room.

Jessa and Josh were upstairs on Josh’s bed when Connor came in with Michelle. Michelle was pale; You guys ok? Zack just made out with my girlfriend against her will. Jessa looked over at him with a faint look in her eyes. He could see the pain in them; she probably wished that he’d taken her back like he did with Michelle. Connor laid Michelle on his bed and laid so his back was to Josh and Jessa. He basically covered Michelle; his stroked her cheek and kissed her forehead. She drifted off to sleep in his arms; he wanted her around…always.

[Michelle Evans]

Zack was using his tongue when he was kissing her. It made her feel sick to her stomach. Connor was the only one that she would ever want to kiss like that. She was in Connor’s arms as Zack jogged away. She pushed him away and ran over to the garbage. Connor was behind her and holding her hair back like the gentlemen he was. When she was done he scooped her up and carried her back to the bench. He offered her a piece of gum and she gladly took it. Kissing him is that bad? It wasn’t just a kiss… What do you mean? Tongue… She could tell that Connor was getting pissed. He didn’t like the fact that Zack was kissing her in the first place, but now that he knew he used his tongue…that wasn’t good. She laid her head against his chest and shut her eyes. She was really tired, and it had been a long day. He cradled her against his chest. She was asleep but she woke up when he set her down on his bed. She could faintly hear voices; it sounded like Josh and Connor. She woke up and cuddled into his side, she was exactly where she wanted to be…in his arms.

She woke up the next morning still in Connor’s arms. He was watching her sleep and when she became half-way conscious she smiled. He smiled back at her. He leaned down slowly and kissed her. What are you afraid of? What do you mean? You’re leaning down a lot slower than you usually do… Oh that…I don’t want to scare you. Connor…you don’t scare me… He smiled and kissed her again. She got up and went into the bathroom. When she was done Connor was already dressed for his game. Lookin good… She said with a smirk on her face. He walked over and picked her up, he spun around and she cradled his face in her hands as she kissed him. So…do you want me at the game? Of course I want you at the game. It’ll be just like when we were in high school, you up in the stands watching the game. When we win I come over and kiss you while the rest of the team is celebrating. She smiled and kissed him again. I’m glad that when I kiss you, you don’t want to throw up. I would never want to throw up after you kiss me, you’re not repulsive…and it helps that you’re a very good kisser. A smirk played on the edges of her lips.

They got to the field and Connor had to go warm up with the team. He kissed her and jogged off with Josh. Michelle was left with Jessa. They walked up to the bleachers and found a seat. The game started quickly and Michelle had something on her mind. She didn’t want to say anything to Connor until she was sure, or until she got someone else’s advice. Jessa…can I talk to you about something? Yeah, sure. What’s on your mind? She didn’t know how to put it. She knew if she put it the wrong way then Jessa would be upset. Well…um…you know that I haven’t seen Connor for a week… Yes I know that…you saw him last weekend right? Yeah…and I um…I…I think I’m pregnant. Jessa’s mouth dropped. Michelle could only imagine what was running through Jessa’s mind. Wow…it would be Connor’s right? YES! He’s the only one that I’ve…uh…done anything with…ever. Josh tried things…but I never did anything with him. But anyway…I’m about two weeks late… Jessa’s mouth dropped again. That’s not good. Tears started to well up in Michelle’s eyes. What do you think Connor will say? Jessa shrugged her shoulders. I’m sure he’ll be happy. He loves you. I know he does, but I just don’t know if he wants a family now… The tears started to pour down Michelle’s face. Jessa started to rub her back to calm her down. Michelle didn’t know what she would do if Connor didn’t want the baby, she didn’t want to leave him, if he really wanted her to she would give up the baby.

[Jessa Washington]

More Like Her
She's beautiful in her simple little way
She don't have too much to say when she gets mad
She understands she don't let go of anything
Even when the pain gets really bad
I guess I should have been more like that

You had it all for a pretty little while
And somehow you made me smile when I was sad
You took a chance on a bruised and beaten heart
And then you realized you wanted what you had
I guess I should have been more like that
More Like Her

Jessa shrugged her shoulders. "I’m sure he’ll be happy. He loves you." "I know he does, but I just don’t know if he wants a family now…" The tears started to pour down Michelle’s face. Jessa started to rub her back to calm her down. "To tell you the truth, I think I might be pregnant, too. I already took one pregnancy test and that came out positive...but that's only one test. So we're in this together, that is, if you want to," Jessa replied, giving her a wry smiled. "Sure, I guess," Michelle said, smiling weakly. They turned to face the game then. Connor got hit in the head with the ball at the beginning of the second quarter. The referee cleared the teams off the field so the medics could check out Connor. Josh ran over to talk to the girls. There were no stairs leading down to the field, so the girls stood in the front row talking to Josh.

"Is Connor okay?" Michelle asked him, concerned. "They think he had a concussion, so they're going to take him up to the hospital now. I heard they were going to postpone the game, too, since it's gonna storm pretty soon," Josh tried to soothe her. "Can you drive us up to the hospital so we can be with him?" Jessa questioned. "Sure, but I have to shower first. I'd give you the keys, but they're in my bag," Josh said, "just go find somewhere to keep dry. I'll call you when I'm done. I love you, babe."

He leaned down and kissed Jessa. "I love you, too. See you soon," she replied, kissing her once more before he ran off to the locker room to change and shower. Jessa and Michelle ran into the nearest school building as it started to pour down rain. Josh called her cell after he had showered and changed into street clothes. He pulled up to the door so the girls didn't have to get really wet. Jessa sat in the front seat next to Josh while Michelle sat in the back. "Hey, Michelle, you okay?" Jessa asked her. Michelle nodded in reply and looked out the window. "Michelle," Josh said quietly, reaching back and squeezing her hand reassuring. Michelle looked up at him, tears in her eyes.

He was looking back at her in the rearview mirror. He winked at her, then Jessa slipped her hand into his. Finally, they were at the hospital. Connor was situated in a hospital room by the time they got there. The window blinds were closed and the lights were dimmed in his room. "Hey, Connor," Josh greeted him as they walked into his room. "Hi," Connor muttered. Michelle ran over and sat in the chair next to his bed, slipping her hand into his. Josh pulled up a chair next to hers and Jessa sat in his lap. "So did they figure out what's wrong?" Michelle asked. "They think I have a concussion still, so they want me to stay overnight so they can do a MRI and CT scan in the morning," he said. "Is that really necessary? Can't they see what's wrong with just an x-ray?" Jessa questioned, frowning. "They think I might have a minor skull fracture, so they want to run the tests to make sure my brain isn't bleeding," Connor replied. "Come on, Jessa, let's go get something to eat in the cafeteria while these two talk alone for a while. Michelle, we can give you a ride home later," Josh said, scooping Jessa up in his arms and standing up. He walked out of the room with her still in his arms.

[Connor Evans]

Connor glanced up into the stands to see Michelle crying. It was only a split second that some idiot kicked the ball into his head then stomped on him. Their cleats dug into his thigh and he tried to get back up but he stumbled, he couldn’t see straight at all. The medics ran onto the field and started to call his name and flash a light into his eyes. Son we’re going to take you to the hospital now. Connor just let them lift him onto a stretcher, Josh was running over to the girls. He hoped Michelle wouldn’t freak out too much. They loaded him into the ambulance and his coach rode with him to the ER.

There they poked and prodded him. Everything was a blur for a little bit until they started to rip his clothes off. He glanced down to see a nurse cutting off his shorts where the cleats had dug into his leg. Connor wanted to say something but he couldn’t, he was confused…big time. They had him sitting up partially and he watched as the nurse numbed his leg, Just a few staples. You shouldn’t feel a thing. Connor nodded and she started to patch him up. They were done in a few minutes and rolled him down for x-rays. We think you have a concussion. We need to run some more tests tomorrow..a CT scan and MRI. He didn’t care. Nobody knew what the hell was wrong with him. He was moved into a room and fell asleep within seconds of being alone.

Hey, Connor. Great, now he’d woken him up…he didn’t really wanna see Josh. Hi, he muttered. Then the only person he really wanted to see ran over and sat down next to him after she slipped her hand into his. Josh pulled up a chair too and Jessa sat in his lap, So did they figure out whats wrong? They think I have a concussion still, so they want me to stay overnight so they can do a MRI and CT scan in the morning. Jessa asked if they could just see with an x-ray. They think I might have a minor skull fracture, so they want to run the tests to make sure my brain isn’t bleeding. Josh started to talk now, Come on, Jessa, let’s go get something to eat in the cafeteria while these two talk alone for awhile. Michelle, we can give you a ride home later, he scooped up Jessa and left. Finally, can I have a kiss now? She smiled softly and got up to kiss him. He pulled her onto the bed next to him, she giggled, I don’t think we’re supposed to be together on here. He shrugged, I’ve been poked, prodded, and stapled. I deserve some kind of comfort. Stapled?! He pulled back the sheet to show a line of staples on his leg. She sighed and he pulled her lips back to his. Take it easy, I don’t need you any more hurt than you already are. What made you look away anyways? You’re always focused. He dropped his head but she lifted it back up, Tell me. I saw you crying…Oh…

[/i] He kissed her again gently. What were you upset about honey? You can tell me anything.[/size][/blockquote][/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Michelle Evans]

Jessa told her that she thought she was pregnant too, and then she looked up and saw Connor take a ball to the head. She gasped and couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Josh came and told them that they were going to stop the game and take Connor to the hospital. It seemed like the longest ride ever, although it wasn’t that far at all. She couldn’t wait to see if Connor was ok, she need him to be ok…she didn’t know if she could tell him now. He needed to know but she didn’t need him getting worked up after what happened. Josh looked back at her and tried to comfort her, he told her that they could give her a ride home later. They finally got to the hospital. Hello…we’re here to see Connor Evans. They just brought him in. Yes he’s in room…310. Ok thank you. He said as she handed them their visitor passes. Michelle thought that the ride to the hospital was long…it was nothing compared to the ride up to his room. They walked in and she was about to cry. She hated hospitals…now she had to tell him some big news and he was already in the hospital…she didn’t want to give him a heart attack.

Josh said ‘hi’ and Michelle couldn’t help herself; she ran over to his bedside and took his hand. So did they figure out what’s wrong? They think I have a concussion still, so they want me to stay overnight so they can do a MRI and CT scan in the morning. Then Jessa asked something about an x-ray. They think I might have a minor skull fracture, so they want to run the tests to make sure my brain isn’t bleeding. Then Josh spoke up. Come on Jessa, lets go get something to eat from the cafeteria while these two talk alone for a while. Michelle, we can give to a ride home later. He said standing up and walking out of the room with Jessa trailing behind him. Finally, can I have a kiss now? She smiled and got up to kiss him. He pulled her onto the bed next to him, she giggled. I don’t think we’re supposed to be together on here… He shrugged and she didn’t know when to tell him. I’ve been poked, prodded, and stapled, I deserve some kind of comfort. She was shocked, they never said anything about him having to be stapled. Stapled?!? He pulled back the sheet and showed her the line of staples that was on his leg. She sighed and he pulled her lips back to his. Take it easy, ,I don’t need you any more hurt that you already are. What made you look away anyways? You’re always focused. He dropped his head but she needed an answer so she lifted his head up. Tell me… I saw you crying. Oh…

[/i] He kissed her again gently. What were you upset about honey? You can tell me anything. When he said that it made her feel much better.

Well…um…I think I’m…uh... Come on baby, spit it out already. She took a deep breathe. I’m two weeks late Connor… Late for what? You didn’t have school… She sighed, he just wasn’t getting it. She would just have to come out and say it then… Connor…I think I’m pregnant… She tried to read his expression but she couldn’t look into his eyes. If you want me to…I could give up the baby, because I don’t want to lose you. But I understand if you don’t want to stay with me after this then I understand. Michelle had tears in her eyes now, she really didn’t want to lose him but she didn’t know if she could give up the baby. It was part of them and she couldn’t bare to see that be taken away from her. She was afraid that he wouldn’t like the fact that she could be.[/Blockquote][/Blockquote][/Blockquote][/size]

[Connor Evans]

Connor couldn’t believe what he was hearing, Michelle thought she was pregnant. He took a deep breath and listened as she said that she would give up the baby if he wanted her too. He would never want that, he loved her so much he would never leave her or make her do anything like that. As he looked at her he could see tears in her eyes, Michelle… he started. I would never ask you to do that. I love you, I’m going to marry you once you’re done with college, well that’s if you say yes. If you’re pregnant then I can’t stop that. But I would never ask you to give up the baby just to stay with me. That baby is part of us, its special. His arms stayed around her and he kissed her head, I will never leave you. I don’t think you understand how much you mean to me. It’s just that I know you’ve been in longer relationships that didn’t last…I just think you’re going to get tired of me soon and want something new, a college girl… Connor lifted her head and kissed her with all the passion he felt for her, I already have the ring…don’t you dare doubt me Michelle. I have the engagement ring and so help me I will propose right when we get out of here if you don’t believe me. She blushed and snuggled closer to him, I believe you I believe you. Only do it when you’re ready. He kissed the top of her head, I’m always ready, I just want to make sure you’re ready too. I don’t want to rush you into anything. I’ve had the ring since last year, I’m thinking a few years maybe once you’re in college and we get settled. She nodded and leaned up and kissed him.

Baby when do you have to go home? Well its Friday. Not till Sunday is you want. Well it’s going to be boring…movies in bed…just cuddling. She kissed him gently, Sounds like fun to me. Only if you think so, my door is always open to you. He said as he pulled a key out of his pants pocket, they were in a bag next to the bed. Connor handed her the key, It’s to the dorm. If you ever need a place to go, or someone to keep you company you can get in. Please don’t let me find you cuddling with Josh though. She laughed, Ok I wont let you find me. He stuck his tongue out at her and pulled her closer into his side, You better make sure I don’t find you with Jessa… The only thing you’d find me doing with her is playing checkers or a card game. It’s sort of awkward for her and Josh when I’m around so I usually just go and hang out around campus. Having your ex in the bed next to you when you’re trying to make out with your new boyfriend isn’t exactly comfortable. It’s pretty easy for me, but it helps when your boyfriend is totally gorgeous and a damn good kisser. Who’s this gorgeous boyfriend of yours? He teased her and yawned. Go to sleep baby, I might have to go home for a day or two though. I don’t know what’s going on at home. He nodded and fell asleep.

He woke up and they took him for the tests. Everything looked good and he was released with a pair of crutches. Michelle had to leave the night before so it was just him and Jessa. Josh was at practice so Jessa was stuck helping him around campus. So…did you know about Michelle? Jessa nodded, Connor…I don’t know how to tell Josh. He’s…not you. Connor had no clue what to say, You’re pregnant too? He was pretty surprised, I think I am. What am I gonna do? They got to a bench and he stopped and sat down. She sat next to him and he put his arm around her, Just tell him, he’ll understand. He has to and if he doesn’t ill just beat the crap out of him after you leave. She smiled at him weakly, Thanks Connor. He nodded and got back on his crutches, Can you just drop that stuff at the dorm? I’m gonna go study and work on homework. She nodded and walked off in the directions of the dorm. He had his laptop in his backpack; he headed off to the library.

Connor settled in on one of the big comfy chairs, he pulled out his laptop and pulled up his instant messenger and his half finished essay. It was about Lincoln’s assassination. Pretty dang boring and not really what he wanted to do. A girl sat down next to him, Hey, I’m Alexandra, Alex for short. I’m Connor, Freshmen. You look nothing like a freshmen, I’m a junior here. You do go here right? He laughed, Yea I go here. I’m on varsity soccer. Full ride scholarship. So that’s where I saw you. My boyfriend’s the forward for Varsity. Jake? She nodded and smiled at him, You’re the one that got hurt aren’t you? He nodded and pointed at the crutches. Hurt like hell and sucked badly. My girlfriend was worried as hell. Well isn’t she always worried at all the games? No, she isn’t at them all. She’s a senior…in high school. We’ve been together for 2 years now, it’s real…real as can be. Same with me and Jake, he’s a year older. A senior this year. He’s a nice guy. Helps a lot of us freshies out on the field. She smiled and giggled, You’re too cute Connor. He laughed along with her and looked up to see Michelle. Am I interrupting something? She said…she was pissed. No…I was just talking. See you around Connor. Sure thing. She got up and Michelle took her spot as she walked away. Connor, what the hell was that? Honey we were just talking. Jake is with her. That’s the forwards girlfriend. I was writing my essay and she just sat down. She didn’t look convinced so he showed her what he was writing. Connor stroked her cheek, We were talking about you. Why? She want my spot? She was clearly still pissed off. No. She. Doesn’t. She’s a junior, and I’m already taken unless you came here to breakup. She shook her head no and he powered down his computer. He stood up and got on his crutches; he slung his backpack over his shoulders and waited for her, Are you coming or not? She got up and followed him back to the dorm.

Jessa was inside when he got there, Thanks for listening Connor, it helped clear things up for me. Michelle stepped in behind him, Hi Michelle. How are you? I’m good. You? Scared but Connor has a way with words. She winked at him and then left them alone. Connor fell back on his bed preparing for her to yell or ask what that was about. Instead he opened his eyes to find her climbing over him. She leaned down and kissed him, You’re not mad? I trust you, I just don’t trust all the other girls. He nodded and kissed her again, I’ll transfer. She pulled back, What? I’ll transfer to UCLA for you. I don’t want you to give up your dream. Connor no. My dream is to be with you. Michelle don’t try and stop me. Look. He pulled out a ton of pamphlets for college transfers. I already asked about it. They said I could transfer and have a spot on Varsity soccer. We could be together and you could go to your college. I don’t want you to miss out because of me. Connor you don’t have to. Really I’m fine here with you. Baby don’t worry about it. Plus I know you already got your acceptance letter there. She blushed and looked away, I got in here too. You don’t have to transfer for me. Too late, all the forms are filled out. We’re goin to UCLA and we can live off campus together if you want since I’ll be a sophomore. She leaned down and kissed him, You would do that for me? He nodded, I love you Michelle. I really do. If we live off campus we can babysit Becca like we used to and have family over. And it’ll just be the two of us. Connor…I’m not pregnant. He shrugged, You will be one day. Just not today. You’re not mad. He shook his head no, Babe if it was meant to be then it was meant to be. She laid next to him and rested her head on his chest. He turned on a movie and pulled the blankets over them, Just tell me when you want to start looking for apartments in California. And don’t tell Josh yet…I haven’t told him. She nodded and yawned.

She's beautiful in her simple little way
She don't have too much to say when she gets mad
She understands she don't let go of anything
Even when the pain gets really bad
I guess I should have been more like that

You had it all for a pretty little while
And somehow you made me smile when I was sad
You took a chance on a bruised and beaten heart
And then you realized you wanted what you had
I guess I should have been more like that

Jessa and Josh walked down to the cafeteria. Josh piled stuff onto a plate while Jessa just got a salad since she wasn't very hungry and she was going to tell Josh she was pregnant now. They went to pay for their food and then went to sit at a table. Jessa set her food down and went to sit in Josh's lap. "What's up, baby?" he asked her, wrapping his arms around her. "Josh, I'm pregnant," she whispered, burying her face in his shoulder. "Are you sure?" he asked her, his voice shaking slightly. She nodded and looked up at him. "I'm late and I took a pregnancy test. It came out positive," she replied. Josh sat there, looking shock. "Are you mad?" she asked him, frowning slightly. "No, baby. I'm happy really. Just a little surprised. I love you," Josh replied, breaking out into a grin and kissed her gently. Jessa climbed out of his lap after kissing him back and she ate her salad. After they finished eating, they headed back to Connor's room hand-in-hand. They were both smiling now.

~*Three Months Later*~
Jessa had been in the library, doing homework. Josh was in their room, studying for a major test. She walked over and sat on the bed next to him. He looked up and gave her a weak smile before he went looking back down at his book. She laid down on the bed and rested her hand on his leg, her head on the pillows. He rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb. Jessa yawned and tried to keep her eyes open. Then she remembered something she had to tell him. "Joshie, I have my first sonogram tomorrow for the baby, you'll come with me, right?" she asked him. He looked down at her, his face full of disgust and another expression Jessa couldn't figure out at the moment. "I can't deal with this anymore! I'm not ready for a baby. I'm not ready to be a father, I'm only nineteen. I'm out of here. Have a good life, Jess, cause i won't be a part of it anymore," Josh said getting to his feet hurriedly. He grabbed his car keys and stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him. Jessa burst into tears, she didn't know what to do. She couldn't raise this baby on her own. Without realizing what she was doing really, she picked up her cell and dialed a number she knew by heart. "Hello?" her heart raced when she heard his voice. "Connor, Josh left....he's gone. He says he doesn't want anything else to do with the baby or me. I need your help..."

[Connor Evans]

Connor was in the middle of changing when his phone rang. He thought it was possibly Michelle so he answered it. Hello? Wrongo!Connor, Josh left....he's gone. He says he doesn't want anything else to do with the baby or me. I need your help... Jessa, he's just under a lot of pressure. How about you come down here for a little bit and relax with me and Michelle? If he wants to come back and get you he will. She sighed on the other line and he finished buttoning his jeans, I guess...would Michelle mind? She'll have to I guess. Please watch what you say about kids around her though, it was a false alarm and it's not been the best of times... i'll call you tomorrow with the details. Sleep tight. Ok...i'll call you tomorrow. He hung up and walked out of the locker room.

It was a 20 minute drive home and he was tired as hell but couldn't wait to see Michelle. He pulled up in the driveway and parked the car, it was dark out but nice. Connor unlocked the door and Michelle launched herself into his arms. Hey baby. He scooped her up and carried her inside, her school year was over, she was graduated. It just seemed right to move in together so thats what they did, they had moved the last box in a week ago. God I missed you. Practice is so not fun when nobodys there cheering you on. How did everything go here? It was fine, boring without you. I can't wait to marry you. She giggled, Oops did I say that out loud? Guess you should expect the question soon. She looked a bit surprised but kissed him with a new found passion. I like...the...new...kissing. He said between kisses. If Jessa came over he wasn't really gonna stop this for her, Michelle was his forever.

Honey I have to talk to Josh. He left Jessa and she called me, I need to talk to him. She sighed but nodded, Fine. Hurry up though. He dialed Josh's cell, Josh what is happening? You LOVE her. Why did you leave her? I just have a lot of pressure on me, I'm on my way back right now. Just do what's right. I will... He hung up and went to find Michelle...now where was that wild woman of his?

notes;; GOD YOU GUYS JUST CAN'T MAKE ANYTHING EASY! I'm gonna pull my hair out of my head soon if you don't get along!
