That fateful night.. -jessa/connor/michelle/josh-

[Connor Evans]

Here comes goodbye

[/size]
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

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[/size][/center]

Connor pulled on his pants and had his shirt unbuttoned but on. Jessa walked over and started to button it slowly, her hands slid up his chest ane he kissed her. Something was different tonight, he could feel it inside of him. Baby you almost ready? Yes, you distracted me. He backed away smiling and let her finish getting ready. Tonight was a big party for the whole team. Connor really didn't want to go at all but Jessa insisted that she kept him alone too much. Do we really have to go? Don't be such a baby. I'll do whatever you want...whatever you want. Just please don't make me go watch Michelle make out and straddle Josh, it's really disgusting. He didn't want to see her because he had grown to like her a little bit. Connor was a little jealous of Josh...ok so he was a lot jealous.

Come on let's go. He sighed and walked out to his car. She got in and he drove to Zack's house slowly. Connor led her out and held her hand as they went into the party. I'm gonna go see if anyone else is here... And she disappeared into the crowd. Great, now he was alone at a party he dispised. He took a seat across the room alone as he waited for her to get back. Michelle and Josh walked up, Just get away Josh! Come on Michelle, I'm sorry. She put her hand up at him and sat down next to Connor. He sighed and walked away frustrated, she started to cry next to him. Hey what happened? He won't keep his hands off me... Connor put his arm around her shoulders and held her closer to him, Stay by me, he won't touch you again if you don't want him to. She nodded and he looked around for Jessa who seemed to be MIA. He settled in for a long night without Jessa. Michelle cuddled into his side, Don't leave my side... I won't. He held her hand and they just waited...they could have left but something held them there.

It had been hours and Connor was past ready to leave, I'm gonna go look for her, I'll give you a ride home...just let me let her know to find one. Michelle nodded and let him go to find her. She wasn't dancing, drinking, or talking...things weren't looking good for him so far. He started to open doors to the rooms. Nothing in the first one or second. Slowly he opened the third one and saw Zack. Sor-- Jessa? It faintly looked like Jessa under Zack. She didn't say a single word but had a weird look in her eyes. Get the hell off her! You're ruining the moment! Get out! Connor couldn't believe what he was seeing! He knew that she wanted to sleep with him but she wouldn't do this, not after the thousand times she told him she loved him. He could feel his heart breaking in half as she lay under him unmoving. His whole world was crumbling away before his very eyes. What did he do to deserve this?! He didn't know what he was doing as he shoved Zack off her and pulled her to her feet. She was unsteady, probably drunk but to his surprise she was shaking. I can't do this..I just can't. Bye Jessa...He didn't even think as he took off running down the stairs.

Connor spotted Michelle and ran over to her. He couldn't help as tears poured down his face, he had loved her so much. Obviously she hadn't felt the same way about him. His arms wrapped around Michelle's waist and he pulled her to his car. Get in. She looked a little bit scared but did as he said, Are you ok Connor? NO i am not ok...she was...with zack. Oh god Connor I'm so sorry. She held his hand as he sped back to his house. I'm sorry I don't think I'll make it back to your house. Do you just want to stay here? Yea, I'll be fine here. He nodded and led her up to his room. This was going to be one long night...[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Michelle Evans]

Not Meant To Be
It's never enough to say I'm sorry
It's never enough to say I care
But I'm caught between what you
Wanted from me, and knowing
If I give that to ya
I might just disappear.
Nobody wins when everyone's losing
Oh, it's like

One step forward and two steps back
No matter what I do you're always mad
And I can't change your mind,
Oh, it's like
Trying to turn around on a one way street
I can't give you what you want
And it's killing me and I, I'm starting to see
Maybe we're not meant to be
Not Meant To Be

Michelle went to the party with Josh after they won the game, it wasn’t one of her favorite things to do but it was better than just staying home with her family. There was one person that she wanted to see; she hoped that he was there. He was already taken but a girl could hope couldn’t she? When they got to Zack’s house there were already a few people there. Josh led her right to one of the bedrooms. Josh…I don’t think we’re supposed to be in her. It’s fine…we won’t be long. She was starting to get a little nervous but she didn’t think he would go too far because he knew that she didn’t want to go all the way. He started to kiss her and began down her neck. Her breathing picked up and his hands traveled… They ran up under her tank top and she tried to find her voice. Josh! Stop it! When he didn’t listen she started to get even more angry. If he would just stop and wait until she was ready then he would get what he wanted. I think it’s better if we don’t stop. It’s going to happen eventually so why wait? She couldn’t take it anymore. She didn’t want to do this with him now. Josh get off of me! She said as she pushed him off. She managed to get out from under him and ran downstairs. She saw Connor and sat next to him. Josh was following her and trying to get her to accept her apology like he always did. She didn’t know why she did all the time. She knew that he was just going to try the same things again…he always did. Just get away Josh! Come on Michelle, I’m sorry. She put her hand up to him and she sighed. Not again!

Josh walked away, she could tell that he was frustrated but she didn’t really care. He had hurt her for the last time. She couldn’t help it as the tears started to fall down her face. Hey what happened? He won’t keep his hands off me… Connor put his arm around her shoulders and held her close to him…at least this night wasn’t a total waste…she got to see the one guy that she wanted to see. Stay by me, he won’t touch you again if you don’t want him to. She nodded and then saw him looking around for someone…most likely Jessa. Michelle cuddled into his side. Don’t leave my side… I won’t. He held her hand and they just waited. She was happy to be there just with him…there was something different about him and she liked it.

A few hours had passed and Connor and Michelle started to talk for a while and they got to know a lot more about each other. I’m gonna go look for her, I’ll give you a ride home…just let me let her know to find one. Michelle nodded and let him go find Jessa. He was gone for a while and she hoping that Josh would stay away from her until Connor got back. He wasn’t her boyfriend but he made her feel a lot safer than Josh ever did.

Connor came barreling down the stairs and when he spotted her he wrapped his arms around her waist. She wasn’t going to tell Josh where she was going, he wouldn’t care anyway. Connor pulled her to his car, Get in. She was a little scared…she didn’t think he was like this. She hoped that he wasn’t like Josh, sure he could be sweet sometimes but when he wanted what he wanted then he started to get rough. She got into his car and when she looked over at him he was crying. Are you ok Connor? NO I am not ok…she was with Zack. Oh god Connor I’m so sorry. She held his hand as he sped back to his house. I’m sorry I don’t think I’ll make it back to your house. Do you want to stay here? Yea, I’ll be fine here. He nodded and led her up to his room.

Connor are you going to be ok? If you don’t want me to be here then I can leave…it’s no problem. No, please don’t leave. She smiled softly and sat on his bed with him. Are you sure your parents don’t mind me being here? No they don’t mind. What about yours? They have to get worried when their baby girl doesn’t come home. They’ll just think I’m spending the night at Josh’s house. They won’t care…I’m sure they won’t even notice if I’m gone. He smiled and pulled her closer into his side. It started to rain and when she heard the thunder she started to breathe faster again. Are you ok? Yeah…it’s just that I hate the thunder. I always have…ever since I’ve been a little girl. The thunder struck again and she shivered. Connor pulled her tighter against him and he had his arm wrapped around her shoulder. Shh baby, it’s ok. I’m not gonna let it hurt you. She nodded and hid her face in his chest.

He stood up and stopped. You don’t mind if I sleep in my boxers with my shirt off do you? She shook her head no. You can wear some of my shorts and a tank top if you want. Ok that would be fine thank you. He nodded and got out a pair of basketball shorts and a muscle shirt. She went into the bathroom and changed. Does he want me to sleep in his bed with him? It couldn’t hurt anything could it? I guess we’ll wait and see.

[/i]When she came back out Connor put a movie in and was lying on his bed. Am I sleeping with you…? Yeah, if that’s ok. I’m not gonna try anything. She smiled, she trusted him. Ok, I trust you. Thank you for letting me stay here. She was really grateful for him that night, without him she’d probably still be sitting at that party and end up walking home.[/Blockquote][/Blockquote]

Here comes goodbye

[/size]
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

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[/size][/center]

Connor stood up and realized that he usually just slept in his boxers when Jessa was there… You don’t mind if I sleep in my boxers and my shirt off do you? Of course she didn’t, most girls wouldn’t object to that. You can wear some of my shorts and a tank top if you want. Ok that would be fine thank you. He nodded and went to find the smallest pair of shorts and a tank top that he owned. She went into the bathroom and he sat down on his bed. He planned on having her sleep next to him if she didn’t mind, he assumed that her and Josh were over once and for all. He had put on a movie just in case she didn’t want to go right to sleep and he was lying back on his pillows. Am I sleeping with you…? Yea, if that’s ok. I’m not gonna try anything. She smiled like she trusted him, Ok, I trust you. Thank you for letting me stay here. Thank you for staying. Connor patted the spot next to him and she crawled up to him. Thunder hit again and she jumped; Connor put his arm around her. I won’t let it get you baby. There was still half a foot of space between them, he didn’t know if she liked that or not. Ever so slowly he slid closer to her, So you ad Josh are finally done? She nodded slowly, You and Jessa? Done…forever. She smiled a little bit as she scooted closer to him, I’m cold… Here…let me help. He pulled the blankets around them tighter and pulled her closer into his side. She rolled over and her hand rested on his chest, it was a comforting touch. So where does that leave us? Hopefully somewhere good…I really really like you Michelle. I want to fall asleep with you in my arms knowing you’re mine.

Michelle looked a little bit scared, What do you mean? Oh not like that, I’m sorta against sex and all. I want to wait for the right girl. She smiled and nodded, her hand was bothering him on his chest. It felt like it was leaving fire on his skin, You’re seriously driving me insane. I’m sorry, I can go... No not like that. It’s like I’m afraid that one little touch will drive you away. I’m not going anywhere. she whispered. He smiled softly and ran his finger along her cheek gently. She leaned into his touch and he couldn’t help it as she moved closer. I’m falling for you Michelle… She smiled and he couldn’t wait any longer, his hand pulled her by the small of her back closer so he cold kiss her. It was perfect in its own way, God you can kiss. She smiled and cuddled into his side, Michelle can I try something with you? It’s nothing bad I promise. Nothing you haven’t one with Josh. Michelle nodded and ever so gently he moved his fingertip along her waist. He set her hand on his ab’s and she sent fire racing through his every vein, he groaned a little bit as she slid her hand down his chest. She never made me feel this way, I’m really faling for you Michelle. She smiled and pulled her lips back to his, so much for the movie.

Connors phone went off on the nightstand and he sighed. Michelle grabbed it and motioned for him to stay quiet. Hello? No he can’t come to the phone right now, he’s kind of busy. Can I take a message? She hung up the phone and looked a little sad, Jessa wants you to call her. She wants to explain. He guessed that Michelle thought he would get back with Jessa, wrong. His arms wrapped around her tighter, I don’t want to talk to her now, or ever. I’ll talk to her in the future, right now all I want is you. She smiled as he leaned over her and kissed her. His and ran along the outside of her tank top and she was scared, he could tell. I won’t do anything you don’t wanna do. She nodded and let his hand stay on the outside but continue to work its way. Connor gently ran his fingertip along her bare stomach where the tank top had pushed up a little bit. Please don’t push me away. Josh did… Connor leaned down and kissed her, That’s cause he’s a pig. I can wait, forever for you my dear. She smiled as he leaned down and kissed her bare stomach, the thunder hit again and she curled up into his arms. He was content with her right there…[/blockquote][/blockquote]

Connor pulled her gently by the small of her back closer into his side. He leaned in and kissed her, it was amazing. God you can kiss. You can too, that’s the best kiss I’ve ever had. She smiled and cuddled into his side. Michelle can I try something with you? It’s nothing bad I promise. Nothing you haven’t done with Josh. She nodded and ever so gently he moved his fingertip along her waist. His touch was much more gentle than Josh’s was. He moved her hand on his abs and he groaned a little as she slid her hand down his chest. She never made me feel this way, I’m really falling for you Michelle. She smiled and pulled his lips back to hers, she couldn’t get enough of him. After a few minutes of heated kissing it was interrupted by the phone ringing. Michelle grabbed it off of the nightstand by his bed and when she saw the name she motioned for him to be quiet. Hello? Hi, it’s Jessa. Can you put Connor on the phone please. No, he can’t come to the phone right now, he’s kind of busy. Can I take a message? Yeah, just tell him to call me please, I really need to talk to him and explain what happened. Ok, bye. Bye. When she hung up she was a little sad. She thought that when he talked to her that she would apologize and say that she wanted him back, just like Josh would always do. Maybe if he was like her then he’d take her back. Jessa wants you to call her. She wants to explain. Connor did the opposite of what she thought he would do; he wrapped his arms around her tighter. I don’t want to talk to her now, or ever. I’ll talk to her in the future, right now all I want is you. She smiled as he leaned over and kissed her. His hand ran along the outside of her tank top and she started to get scared.

He must have been able to tell that she was getting nervous. I won’t do anything you don’t wanna do. She nodded; there was something different about him and she liked it. She let his hand stay on the outside of the tank top but continue to work its way in. Connor gently ran his fingertip along her bare stomach. Please don’t push me away. Josh did… Connor leaned down and kissed her. That’s cause he’s a pig. I can wait, forever for you my dear. She smiled as he leaned down and kissed her bare stomach. The thunder hit again and she curled up into his arms. Will you…um…will you take her back…? He leaned back a little so he could see her whole face. No, I’m not going to take her back. Michelle nodded and yawned. Are you tired? We can go to sleep now if you want. She smiled, Ok, nighty night. He smiled and kissed her gently. As she fell asleep she whispered something, she didn’t know if it would make him upset or not,I love you… This was going to be a great night.

She woke up still in his arms and when she looked at him he was still sleeping. She didn’t want to move because she didn’t want to wake him up. He made a small noise and then opened his eyes. Hey, have you been up long? He asked sleepily. Not long, I just woke up actually. I didn’t want to move…I like it here. He smiled and kissed her. Um…did you hear what I said last night? She waited for his reply and she was getting nervous. What if he heard her? What if he didn’t like it? What if he didn’t feel the same way…? She could only wonder as she waited for his answer.

Here comes goodbye

[/size]
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

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[/size][/center]

Connor heard her say that she loved him and then she fell fast asleep in his arms. He stayed up and held her closer, he didn’t really know what to say. First off he didn’t know that she loved him, but he did care about her…a lot. His fingertip stroked her cheek as she slept, she was amazing but he just wasn’t ready to say that…yet. One day he would tell her that he loved her but just not today. He nodded off to sleep with her right where he wanted her, in his arms.

Connor woke up with her looking at him, Hey, have you been up long? Not long, I just woke up actually. I didn’t want to move…I like it here. He smiled and kissed her. Um…did you hear what I said last night? Connor sighed, Ok Michelle, I do care about you…a lot. I just can’t say it because last time I did my heart got ripped right out. But I do care about you, so much. Do you understand? She nodded and cuddled closer to him, One day I’ll say it, just for you. Because you already have my heart. She smiled and kissed where her head lay on his chest.

After a few minutes he got up, I need to shower quickly, then you want to go somewhere? She nodded and laid on his pillow as he went into the bathroom. He shut the door and pulled off his boxers. Then he turned on the water and stepped in, he started to feel everything he hadn’t last night. His head rested on the wall of the shower, I’m really alone, she was really doing what I think she was… How could she do that to me? Did she really only want one thing? Does she not care at all how I feel? What am I going to do? He finished washing his hair and just washing up. He wrapped a towel around his waist and brushed his hair. Connor stepped out of the bathroom and sat on the end of his bed. He looked down at his feet and then felt Michelle’s arms around him, What’s wrong? Just thinking. She moved in front of him and he pulled her into his lap gently, I just don’t think she ever cared… Michelle wound her arms around his neck and kissed him, Well I care, I’ll always care. He leaned down and kissed her gently, Want to go out now? She nodded and got off his lap. He pulled on some clothes not even caring what she saw. Then he took her hand and led her downstairs to his car.

He drove to the one place he knew girls loved, the mall. Connor parked the car and walked around to her side. He helped her out and intertwined their hands. Michelle stopped, What’s wrong baby? That’s J-j-josh’s car… He won’t get near you, you’re mine. She nodded and he wrapped his arm around her waist. Don’t you worry, I won’t let him lay a finger on you. She nodded and let him take her inside the mall. Where do you want to go? I’m not sure. Where do you wanna go? She shrugged as he led her to the escalator to go upstairs, her head leaned against his chest. Connor spotted Josh and wrapped his arms around her tighter, Do not move out of my arms. Ok why? She turned and saw Josh, immediately she stiffened in Connor’s arms. Baby it’s ok, I won’t let him touch you ever again. She nodded and they stepped off the escalator together. Connor kept his arm around her waist, Michelle can we pleaseeeee talk? No. We’re over. Please don’t do this… Then Jessa stepped out next to him and suddenly Connor couldn’t even breathe. Let’s go. Michelle spun around and pulled him away but someone caught his hand, Jessa. He could feel his heart breaking, Please Connor, can we just talk? He sighed, Connor? He looked up into Michelle’s eyes and let go of Jessa’s hand. His arms wrapped around Michelle, What do you need to talk about Jessa? Can we talk alone? He kissed Michelle’s cheek, You can say it in front of her. Josh put his arm around Jessa and Connor’s throat started to close, how could she be with Josh?! Michelle could tell he was upset so she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him gently, Let’s go. He nodded and laced his fingers with hers as they walked into the mall.[/blockquote][/blockquote]

[Joshua West]

]Josh and Michelle arrived at Zack's house for the party. He went into the bedroom with Michelle. She looked so beautiful tonight and she had told him she wasn't ready but he didn't know if he could stop if he started. Josh…I don’t think we’re supposed to be in here. It’s fine…we won’t be long. He just intended on kissing her but it turned into something else something more intense. Josh's hands slipped up her tanktop a little and she didn't say anything so he went up further and then thats when she pulled away. Josh! Stop it! I think it’s better if we don’t stop. It’s going to happen eventually so why wait? She had even told Josh that it would happen although she had told him that a lopng time ago and he thought she might change her mind. Josh get off of me! She looked really angry as she stormed out of the bedroom and right to Connor. How was that surprising he knew that Michelle liked him and it hurt him alot to know that she like Connor more than her own boyfriend. Now all Josh wanted to do was apologize and go home he felt bad he should have waited until she was ready. Why did he have to be such a jerk? He groaned and saw Michelle sitting next to Connor. Just get away Josh! Come on Michelle, I’m sorry. Michelle put her hand up and Josh walked off. He knew they were over and that hurt him that Connor now had both of the girls he liked. Then he saw Zack and Jessa, and Zack had something in his hand. Jessa turned her head and Zack slipped it into her drink. Josh started walking over to them but then Jessa took a drink. He almost shouted her name when Zack sent someone over to where Josh was. The guy walked over to him and pinned him up against the wall. YOU KISSED MY GIRL?!?! Josh was confused at first but then he said, No! I have a girlfriend and I don't even know who your girlfriend is! The guy slapped Josh's face but left. Josh sighed with relief and looked over to where Jessa and Zack had been but they were gone. Josh ran down the hall opening doors he knew if Zack had drugged Jessa he would rape her! What an a**h***! He couldn't find them so he decided to check upstairs when he saw Connor race down the stairs and tears running down his face. Josh knew what had happened so he raced up to the bedroom and saw Zack ontop of Jessa. Jessa's pants were thrown across the floor and her shirt was ripped. GET THE HELL OFF OF HER ZACK! Josh ran over to them and yanked Zack off of her. He punched Zack in the nose and wrapped Jessa in a blanket. He picked her up and carried her to his car. Damn it if Connor had just listened to Jessa this wouldn't have had to happen. I.....I-I didn't mean to... he wouldn't get off of me. Tears were pouring down her face. Josh put her seatbelt on and drove her to the hospital. He went up to the front desk I need her to be examined she's just been drugged and raped. The nurse took her into a room and Josh sat in the waiting room. A doctor walked up to him a few hours later. Are you her boyfriend..........or........brother..... Josh shook his head no. Just a friend helping out. The doctor nodded and told Josh he could visit her now. Josh walked in the room and Jessa was fast asleep. He stopped a nurse in the hallway Could you call her parents and tell them a friend is with her. the nurse nodded and walked away.
