Archivers: If your not Peggy or Suze, tell me where
it's going
Rating: HR, MV, A
So lately, been wondering,
Who will be there to take my place
When I'm gone you'll need love to light the shadows on
your face
[*flashback - Jer's Point of View*
I became breathless as Jessie decended the stairs.
She was more beautiful than the goddess Aphrodite
herself; too beautiful for words. A wave of sadness
hit me then, though I didn't show it. I realized that
soon everything would be over, and that I would lose
her forever, once I killed her father. I just prayed
that someone would be there for her, even though I
wish that it could be me.]
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Then between the sand and stone, could you make it on
your own
[Jessie stares at the blank screen in front of her.
Silent tears stain her face as she sits, watching the
tv with unseeing eyes. A soft voice rings through her
head; a familiar face flashes before her eyes. Her
tears replenish themselves on her cheeks. Her bottom
lip quivers slightly as one word escapes her lips:
Jer.]
If I could, then I would,
I'll go wherever you will go-
Way up high or down low, I'll go wherever you will go
[*Jer's Journal*
October 28, 1996
What am I doing? I keep asking myself that simple
question everytime I look at Jessie. Everytime I'm
with her that feeling of pure happiness returns,
wanted or not. I hate to admit it, but I think I'm
falling for her...I can't believe that I'd ever stoop
this low...falling for the daughter of the man that
killed my father. Part of my mind tells me I should
hate her but my heart...]
And maybe, I'll find out
A way to make it back someday
To watch you, to guide you, through the darkest of
your days
[*Jer's Journal*
November 20, 1996
I can't thinking about her-her eyes, her smile, the
way her hair smells-nor can I forget the look on her
face-that pleading look of pure bewilderment and
shock. I can't get it out of my mind, no matter how I
try. Perhaps I will visit Maine again someday...]
If a great wave shall fall and fall upon us all
Then I hope there's someone out there who can bring me
back to you
[*Jessie's Journal*
November 25, 1996
Jonny is being really sweet about the whole Jer thing,
and I really appreciate all that he's done for me, I
just can't stop thinking about him. His eyes still
haunt me, with that look of insanity and sorrow all
mixed into one. Jonny is the best friend I've ever
had, and I know that he's always there for me; he
always has been, but I just don't want to forget...]
If I could, then I would,
I'll go wherever you will go-
Way up high or down low, I'll go wherever you will go
[*Jer's Journal*
December 1, 1996
I read something about the Quests and the "Good
Doctor" the other day in Time magazine. It reminded
me of her--Caroline has been pleading with me to
forget, but I just can't. I just can't seem to forget
our last dance at the Moonlight Ball, and what it was
like to hold her in my arms...]
Run away with my heart
Run away with my hope
Run away with my love
[Jer smiles halfway as her face makes its way into his
mind. He rests his pen on top of his journal and
stares of into space, trying to remember every little
detail.]
I know now, just quite how
My life and love my still go on
In your heart, in your mind, I'll stay with you for
all of time
[Jessie looks out the window of her room at the stars
above. Her gaze drops to the picture that sits on her
nitestand. A smile touches her lips--a real smile.]
If I could, then I would,
I'll go wherever you will go-
Way up high or down low, I'll go wherever you will go
[*flashback*
As Jer pulled into the driveway, Jessie put a hand on
his shoulder.
"Pull over a minute, OK?"
He dutifully pulled the car off to the side of the
road and looked
over at her. "You all right?" he asked, with obvious
concern.
"I'm fine," she said, leaning over. "I just thought
that in return for this wonderful night you at least
deserved a good night kiss." She had butterflies in
her stomach.
He hesitated as she kissed him once, softly, on the
mouth. She opened her eyes and looked up at him,
worried, when he didn't return the kiss. Then
he made up his mind.
Reaching over to put his arm around her, he began to
kiss her.
