Jonny starred at the night’s sky. He smiled at it’s beauty. But
still, he
thought it’s not as beautiful as Jessie. As though she was on
cue, Jessie
walked out from the living room and stood behind Jonny on the balcony.
“’Tis a beautiful night, isn’t it?” she whispered, leaning her
head
against his shoulder.
“Yes, that it is. But it pales in comparison to you.” He whispered
back.
He turned and pulled her close.
Jessie smiled at his warmth. As nice as it was, her silk kimono
wasn’t
warm against the ocean winds. His hands gently massaged her back and
she leaned
her head against his broad shoulders.
“Not able to sleep?” she asked, looking up at his deep blue eyes,
in
wonder.
“I… attempted to. But I couldn’t seem to think straight. My mind
kept
wondering everywhere else but sleep, so I gave up.” His expression
darkened, as
he reopened the wounds that he had tried to so desperately to close.
“My mother
and father, today is their anniversary. That is why Dad is gone.”
Jessie nodded, no saying anything. She had dealt with a death
to recently
and knew what it was like. She tightened her hold on Jonny as he leaned
his head
on her shoulder, tears streaming down his cheeks.
“I still miss her, Jess. It doesn’t get easier. And I just want
to be able
to feel human again, but I don’t even remember what that feels like.
It’s been
so long. And poor dad, he… he didn’t deserve this. I mean, no one deserved
this.”
Jessie rubbed his back and bit her lip. She lowered her self
down and laid
on the patio lounge, and motioned for Jonny to join her. He did so,
leaning his
back against her body and she gently massaged his shoulders.
“It… it feels as though someone has taken your heart and cut
a piece out
of it, but you can still feel was is happening to it.” She cried. Jonny
nodded.
They sat there is complete silence. Finally, Jessie couldn’t stand
it any more.
“Come on, we are going to my room.” She said and she pulled Jonny
along
with her.
Once in Jessie’s room, Jonny sat on her bed. Jessie went rummaging
through
some storage bins above her closet.
“What are you looking for, Jess?” he said, flipping through some
of her
CD’s.
“Something that you were supposed to be given in a few months,
but I think
that today will suit, just nicely.” She called out, her voice muffled.
She
finally popped her head out, and walked over to Jonny. She wrapped
her arms
around his neck and straddled him, with a small package in her hand.
Jonny
smiled, and curiously looked at the package.
“Your mother,” she explained. “Left this for you. But your dad
didn’t know
about it. I found it while spring-cleaning a few years back. Care to
open it an
see?”
Jonny looked at her eyes as she handed him the package. She got
off of
him, and he opened it. Inside, was a picture. It was of Dr. Quest and
Rachel, on
their wedding day. Jonny smiled. It was beautiful. He turned to Jessie.
“Thank you.” He kissed her gently.
“I thought that today was deserving of it.”
Jonny smiled. He starred at the picture for the longest time.
Then he
turned and starred at Jessie. She smiled as he wrapped his arms around
her and
lowered her to the bed. There sat Jonny on his back and Jessie leaning
against
him. Soon, they both feels asleep, forgetting the pain that they had
been forced
to suffer for so long.
