Think what might have happened if Jo hadn't gone to Eastland? What if she had spent those years back in the Bronx? Well, you're about to find out...

Jo wakes up to loud music blaring from her alarm clock along with sirens and police cars going up and down the street. Groaning, she gets up out of bed. Hearing stuff like that every morning wasn't unusual to Jo, especially in her neighborhood, but it still got on her nerves sometimes. Loud raps on the apartment door interrupts her thoughts.

Jesse- Jo, get up or I'm leavin' without ya!
Jo- Ugh, I just woke up. Can't ya give me 10 minutes?
Jesse- Ya got 5.
Jo- *Rolls her eyes and gets dressed*
Jesse- Today would be nice...!
Jo- *Grabs her keys and opens the door*
Jesse- Took ya long enough!
Jo- *Glares*

They leave the apartment building, being late for school as usual. Since Jo's mom threatened to take her motorcycle keys away, she and Jesse stopped ditching school. They run in, getting to their homeroom quickly before their teacher walks in. There has always been a rumor that their homeroom teacher, Matthew Jerome, moved onto sexually harrassing a different girl every semester. This year though, he'd set his sights a little more quickly. He walks into the classroom and sits down at his desk. He looks at the role call list, then his lesson plan. After going through everything, checking and marking off names, he turns his attention to the class.

Mr. Jerome- I trust you all did your homework last night?

The class is silent, except for the occasional cough or whisper. He goes around collecting the essays he'd assigned the previous night. He walks back to his desk, puts on his glasses and starts grading the papers. After a few minutes he comes to Jo's paper and peers over his glasses at her.

Mr. Jerome- Jo, could you come up here for a minute, please?

Jo walks up to his desk and stands next to him. While he discusses her paper with her, he reaches behind her, slipping a hand into her back jean pocket. She notices, but doesn't say anything, not really wanting to draw attention to herself. She stands there continuing to talk to him as if his hand wasn't even there. When he's done discussing her paper with her he slips his hand back out of her pocket.

Mr. Jerome- *Smiles* Thank-you, Jo. You can go back to your seat now.

As he continues to grade the papers, Jo goes back to her seat, feeling a little uncomfortable now around Mr. Jerome. The bell rings signaling all the girls to go to P.E. He watches intently as Jo walks out with the rest of the girls. They all go to the locker room to get changed. After everyone's all ready, they all walk to the gymnasium.

***After P.E.***
They all shower, put on the clothes they had on before and wait for the bell to ring. As Jo's getting her books together, Jesse walks over.

Jesse- Hey, Jo, ya feelin' alright?
Jo- Oh, yeah, fine.
Jesse- Hmm, ya ain't actin' like it. Somethin' botherin' ya?
Jo- Nah, I'm fine, Jess.

Jesse doesn't really believe her, but she lets it go. After the bell rings, Jo decides to go to the office. She played what Mr. Jerome did over and over again in her mind, trying to believe it had actually happened. When she reaches the office, she's a little hesitant. Being in that situation was something she couldn't handle by herself and even though she knew that, something made her have to keep convincing herself. She finally opens the door and walks in.

Jo- Is Mr. Morris busy?
Secretary- Wait a minute, I'll check.

She knocks on his door and goes in. She comes back out after a minute or two and sits back down at her desk, looking at Jo.

Secretary- He can see you.
Jo- Thanks.

She walks in and when Mr. Morris sees her, he gets a panicked look on his face.

Mr. Morris- Okay, who'd you beat up?
Jo- What? Oh, nobody. I just wanted to talk to ya.
Mr. Morris- *Gets a look of relief on his face* Ah, well, in that case, what can I do for you?
Jo- It's about Mr. Jerome.
Mr. Morris- Oh? What about him?
Jo- Well, he uh, slipped his hand into my back pocket
Mr. Morris- *Sighs* I've had it up to here with you girls accusing Mr. Jerome of such actions.
Jo- What? No, Mr. Morris, I --
Mr. Morris- That's enough. Get back to class. *Goes back to his work*

Jo walks out furiously, not wanting to believe what she'd just heard. She walks back into the classroom, taking her seat.

Mr. Jerome- Jo, you're late.
Jo- Yeah, I got called to the office.

The bell rings and she walks out with Jesse, Lisa and Karen.

That's all I'm gonna post for now. This is just to give you guys a little bit of a guideline, which'll help me know if ya like it or not. I'll post more later on if I get some replies



:D -Kiera

I like it so far.

I like it too.

whoo Kie i can't wait to read more!! <33

Aww thanks you guys! Would have posted more but I was working on something for my BFF Lisa, who's actually a character in the story! :D
Anyways, here's more:

They all head down the hall towards Mr. Collins classroom for Algebra.

Lisa- Ugh, I hate algebra!
Karen- Well, you used to have a crush on Mr. Collins so...
Lisa- Hey! That was last year, Kar.
Jesse- Yeah, but ya drooled over him at every glance ya got! *Laughs*
Jo- *Grins*
Lisa- Oi, is this Pick-On-Lisa Day and nobody told me?
Karen- Yeah, national holiday.
Jesse- *Rolls her eyes* Oh, ya know we love ya, Lis.
Lisa- You guys got a funny way of showin' it.!
Jo- *Laughs a little*

Mr. Collins is waiting outside the door when they come walking down the hall. He smiles at them widely.

Jesse- Whattaya starin' at us for?
Karen- Oops... I think I know why...
Lisa- Karen, tell me ya didn't set your watch for the wrong time again.
Karen- If I tell you that, do ya promise not to hurt me?
Jo- *Rubs her forehead* Kar...
Karen- Sorry!
Mr. Collins- *Laughs* It's okay. As long as you guys get in there within the next 2 minutes, I won't give you detention.

The girls walk into his classroom relieved. They take their seats and Mr. Collins walks in, takes role and sits at his desk.

Mr. Collins- Everybody got their stuff done?

The class is silent.

Mr. Collins- Ugh, I don't know what I'm gonna do with you guys! Maybe if I make you write the assignments on your hand you'll remember. Or maybe on a post-it stuck to your shirts. *Grins*

A numerous amount of laughter fills the room.

Mr. Collins starts to teach and after awhile the bell rings.

Mr. Collins- *Looks up from his papers* Is it just me or did the bell ring WAY too early...?

Mr. Morris over PA System- All students and teachers report to the auditorium at this time.

They all file out and go into the auditorium. The teachers sit up front while the students are in the very back. The principle informs them that there's been a chemical spill in the Chemistry lab and that they have to stay in the auditorium until it's cleaned up. After many hours, it seems, they're allowed to get their stuff and go home. They would have probably continued classes, except for the fact it was 7 by time everything had been cleaned up. Since they're in the very last row in back, Jo, Jesse, Lisa & Karen walk out first. They're about to walk home together until Jo remembers she'd left her History book in Mr. Jerome's room. Figuring he wouldn't be there at this hour, she walks into the classroom, kneels down and gets the book from the bottom of her seat. Mr. Jerome just watches her from a corner of the room. Just as she's about to leave he speaks up.

Mr. Jerome- Have a good day in school?
Jo- *Still a little uncomfortable around him* Uh, yeah. No more than usual, I guess.
Mr. Jerome- That's good.

He keeps walking up closer behind her as she's leaving until he's close as he needs to be. When she's walking out the door, he covers her mouth with his hand and pulls her back inside the classroom, slamming the door and turning off the lights.

Hey, I gotta reboot, but I'll type more up when I get back. I don't wanna lose everything I've typed just b/c my comp. decided it wanted to freeze! :rolleyes:

((and yeaah..anaïs is bloo..)

This is good!,post more!:happyface

I Like it

:crazy: im going crazy here, plz post more, lol - im impatient! plus im going out so0n and i really wanna read some more lol

Okay, I just woke up, but I'm ready to post more. And people seem to like it so far, which also helps, LOL.
So, here's more:

He pushes her up against the wall which such force that she doesn't even get a chance to move or struggle to get away. He pins her hands firmly to the wall and starts to kiss her neck. She moves around a little in a desperate attempt to get him to stop. He's not too thrilled with this and tells her so.

Mr. Jerome- Jo, if I were you, I'd stand still. No telling what could happen if you don't.

Of course, being the stubbourn person she is, she again tries to escape, but when he takes out a knife and runs it lightly across her throat, she instantly stops.

Mr. Jerome- *Grins* That's better. You're not going anywhere.
Jo- Ya make me sick.
Mr. Jerome- Really? Do I now? *Slaps her across the face* Now, maybe you'll think twice about mouthing off to me.

Jo doesn't say anything, but turns her head when he tries to kiss her on the cheek. Mr. Jerome, on the other hand, goes down to her waist area and unzips her jeans. When he does this, Jo knees him in the stomach, causing him to fall backwards onto the floor. She goes to run out the door, but Mr. Jerome again pulls her back inside, this time throwing her to the floor. He pins her down, covers her mouth and rapes her.

***20 minutes later***
Mr. Jerome- *Grins, getting off her* There, now that wasn't so bad, was it?

Jo's silent and with a tear-stained face and ripped covershirt, she buttons her jeans back up, leaving as quickly as possible without her History book. Not really thinking straight at this point, she goes to Jesse's apartment instead of her own. When she gets there, she knocks on the door quietly. Jesse's voice from inside tells her to wait a minute and when Jesse finally comes to answer the door, what she saw, she couldn't believe.

Jesse- Oh my god, Jo. What happened to ya? *Looks at her ripped covershirt* Get in here and sit down.

Jo goes in and Jesse shuts the door. Jo sits on the couch and Jesse sits on a chair across from her.

Jesse- Alright, spill it. What happened?
Jo- Nothin'.

Since she says this in a quiet tone of voice, which Jo did seldomly, Jesse knew she was lying.

Jesse- Jo, c'mon. I've known ya for years and I know you're lyin' to me.
Jo- *Sighs* I was raped, Jess.
Jesse- You? By who?

Jesse finds this a little hard to believe considering these things didn't happen too often to Jo.

Jo- Mr. Jerome.
Jesse- WHAT? God, I thought those were just rumors!
Jo- Yeah, well they ain't.
Jesse- Ya needa tell somebody.
Jo- *Wry chuckle* Yeah, well ya know what, Jess? I tried that earlia' and honestly I dunno why I even bothered.
Jesse- *Sighs* Well, ya not goin' home tonight.
Jo- What?
Jesse- You're stayin' here with me.
Jo- Not like I got a choice.
Jesse- *Grins, trying to cheer her up* Ya got that right.

They go to bed and in the middle of the night Jo wakes up. She didn't have that much trouble getting to sleep, but in the hours of the night she kept reliving the rape over and over again, like some kind of nightmare.

***Next Morning***
Jo and Jesse wake up an hour early because Jesse's alarm rings an hour early and wakes them both up.

Jo- *Groans, yelling into the next room* Jess! I thought ya were gettin' that thing fixed!
Jesse- Eh, don't remind me!
Jo- Get it fixed or die, Jess!
Jesse- *Rolls her eyes* Fiiiine. *Gets up and turns off the alarm*

Jo and her start getting ready for school. Since they wear the same size, Jo just borrows something of Jesse's, which in truth, could have started out Jo's anyway.

Jesse- *Pulls a black cutoff shirt over her head* Find anything ya like?
Jo- *Gives her a look, holding up a red checkered covershirt and spandex black top* Yeah. *Grins*
Jesse- *Nervous laugh* Heh, heh, well would ya look at that!
Jo- *Rolls her eyes* I'm takin' back my clothes, Jess. *Puts on the black shirt and covershirt*
Jesse- Yeah, well, they're yours.
Jo- Exactly. When did I lend 'em out to ya?
Jesse- *Shrugs, making her bed*

Jo makes up the bed she slept in and looks at the clock, then to Jesse.

Jesse- *Sees her staring at her* I swear, that's all the clothing I stole from ya.
Jo- :rolleyes: First of all, I doubt that. Secondly, I wonder if Ma's up yet.
Jesse- *Shrugs* She got crazy hours.
Jo- Tell me 'bout it. Well, I gotta get my stuff from the apartment anyway. Meet me there. *Leaves before Jesse can say anything*

She goes to her apartment and by the time she gets everything she needs from her room, it's a quarter til 7 and Jesse's loud knocks on the door startle her.

Jesse- Tell me somethin'. How is it ya always manage to be late for everything?!
Jo- It's a gift. *Tries to open the door, but it won't open* Not again...
Jesse- What? Open the door.
Jo- I can't, Mr. Valducci fixed it.
Jesse- Gonna be here til Tuesday...
Jo- I'll pull, you push.

They manage to get the door open by that method, but when they do, it falls off its hinges.

Jo- *Sarcasm* Oh, that's nice.
Jesse- *Laughs*
Jo- That ain't good...

They manage to get the door back on and of course, are late for class. They run in and get to the door just as Mr. Jerome stands there.

Mr. Jerome- You're late.
Jesse- No kiddin'.
Jo- *Silent*
Mr. Jerome- Get to your seats.

They go in and sit down. The rest of the class is copying notes off the board, so they get out their notebooks and do the same. Jo keeps trying to focus on her work, but she keeps feeling like Mr. Jerome's constantly watching her. Which, in truth he was. This made her feel more uncomfortable then ever so she's just relieved when the bell rings for boys P.E. Hoping Mr. Jerome would just stay at his desk after the girls were done on break. Not knowing what would happen, Lisa stays in the classroom with Mr. Jerome, not knowing what's going on. He grins to her and walks over.

Mr. Jerome- Hello, Lisa.
Lisa- Oh! Mr. Jerome, you scared me.
Mr. Jerome- I'm sorry. *Strokes her hair lightly*
Lisa- Mr. Jerome, I don't--
Mr. Jerome- Oh, Lisa. You know, you are a very beautiful girl. *Looks down at her chest area* Who's turning into a gorgeous and sexy young woman. *Grins*
Lisa- *Bites her lower lip* I think I hear Jo callin' me... *Leaves the room*
Mr. Jerome- *Grins and thinks to himself "She's next"* *Walks out of the classroom*

That's all I'm posting for now. Anyone see another familiar character? Anyone even remember Mr. Valducci? LOL
TTFN

:wave:

:eek: thank you for posting more! this is going to be interesting! i want to see what happens to "me" next..lmao. oh lordy.

OK, Lisa, I know you're DYING to know what happens to 'you' ( LOL ) next, so here's more:

Lisa walks out quickly and find Jo standing by the water fountain waiting for Jesse and Karen to come out of the girl's bathroom. She runs over on the edge of tears, hoping nobody would notice.

Lisa- Jo, he, he...
Jo- He who? Lis, what's wrong?
Lisa- Mr. Jerome. I tried to stop him, but I didn't think he meant anything by it.
Jo- Wait a minute, slow down. Take a deep breath and try to calmly tell me what happened.
Lisa- *Takes a deep breath*
Jo- Yeah, like that. Now, what's goin' on?
Lisa- Mr. Jerome... did something to me. He stroked my hair affectionately and just told me some things.
Jo- Like what?
Lisa- That I was pretty and then he looked down at my chest and said stuff like I'm turning into a sexy young woman.
Jo- *Sighs* What'd he say after that?
Lisa- Nothing. Well, I left as fast as I could. *A tear rolls down her cheek* The rumors are true, Jo. I didn't like him doing that to me. I don't think I can handle it if he does it again. *Continues to sob quietly into her hand*
Jo- *Comforts her as best as she can*

The bell rings and they go back to class. The rest of the day is pretty much the same as it always is and when its time to leave, the office informs Jo she has detention until 7 that night for being late for class. Normally, dentetion hours weren't that long, but they grouped together the couple other times she'd been late, so she stays at school. Jesse, Lisa and Karen walk home without her.

Karen- Some new guy who's supposed to be coming to our school ya know.
Jesse- *Laughs* How do ya know all this?
Karen- I have my ways... *Grins*
Jesse- :rolleyes: Snoopin' through otha people's stuff don't count.
Lisa- Well, did ya get a name?
Karen- Edward.
Lisa- EDWARD?
:lol: :lol: :lol: They all start laughing and the guys notice.

Carson- Lord, here they come.
Tommy- *Grins*
Scott- And Jesse is lookin' fiiiiiine today, yeow!
Carson- :rolleyes: Get over it, she's never gunna go out with ya!
Tommy- Remember what happened last time he tried to ask Jesse out?

The girls walks up to them just as he says that.

Jesse- Yeah, I broke his thumb. *Grins*
Carson- Ah, ladies. To what do we owe the pleasure of this intrusion?
Tommy- And how long's it gunna last?
Jesse- Can it, Shore.
Scott- Hey, where's Jo?
Lisa- Detention.
Carson- That girl's always in trouble. *Sighs*
Karen- Why do ya think we all get along so well?
Lisa- We gotta get goin'.
Carson- Oh yeah? Got any plans?
Jesse- Yep.
Carson- Givin' your bike a lube job don't count, Jess.
Jesse- *Glares*
Karen- Yes we do have plans. Unlike you 3, we're goin' to the Springfield concert. :D

They leave and no sooner do they walk off in the opposite direction, a boy about Carson's age runs up to him, Tommy and Scott.

Eddie- Hey guys, sorry I'm late.
Carson- No big deal.
Tommy- Yeah, not like we're busy or anything.
Eddie- Heh, yeah.

***Next Morning***
Jesse wakes up, gets dressed and goes over to Jo's. Knowing she'd still be asleep, she knocks as loud as she can on the door.

Jo- *Groans* Jess! Ugh, not so loud!
Jesse- Get up, get dressed and deal with it, Polniaczek.

Jo gets up, pulls on a pair of jeans with holes in the knees and a black t-shirt. She grabs her keys and walks out the door.

***School***

My kitten, Harley, is on my keyboard desk at the moment so if you see a little nonsense typing that's probably him...

They get to school, but by that time they're both soaked with rain. They follow the hugh crowd of students rushing for the doors. After going through the usual array of boring classes, Mr. Collins Algebra class excepted, it's finally time for lunch. By this time, everything and everyone has dried off and the sun's shining, so most, if not all of the students eat outside on the school lawn. It's Eddie's first day at the highschool so he mostly just hung around Carson and occasionally Scott & Tommy all day, not like he knew anybody else. He walks out on the lawn with them, sitting down on a piece of concrete built long to look and serve as a bench. Across the lawn from them are Jesse, Jo, Lisa and Karen. Jo's sitting on top of the wooden table to the left, letting one leg hang off, Jesse on the right, and Lisa and Karen are positioned on the lower seats of the bench. Eddie doesn't take notice of them just yet.

Eddie- So, any hot chicks in this school?
Carson- They don't come any better.
Tommy- *Grins*
Scott- Hey, Cars, ain't that 4 of 'em over there?
Carson- Ah, yes. *Waves them over*

Jesse- *Looks over* I think he wants us...
Lisa- *Laughs* Jeez.
Karen- Maybe they should just beam us over.
Jo- :rolleyes: It'd be easier to try askin' insteada wavin' us over like we're his public.
Jesse- Yeah. Hey, hold up, that the new guy over there?
Lisa- Whoever he is, he looks hot from here!
Karen- Mmm, that he does.
Jo- *Laughs* Oh god.
Jesse- *Gives Carson a signal they aren't coming over*

Carson turns back to the guys.

Carson- I don't think they're comin' over, so I guess I'll just have to introduce them from here. *Points to each girl as he says who they are* Karen Tenneson, Lisa Morales, Jesse Sanchesz and Jo Polniaczek, who got her head turned away at the moment.
Tommy- *Laughs*

When Jo turns her head to talk to Karen, Eddie catches sight of her.

Eddie- :eyes:
Tommy- Eddie, ya want my Coke?
Eddie- :eyes:
Carson- Yo! Earth to Eddie Brennan, come in Eddie!
Eddie- Huh? What? Oh, yeah, sure. *Takes the Coke can*
Scott- *Grins* I think the new guy got a crush.
Eddie- What?
Carson- You like Jo.
Eddie- What? C'mon, I haven't even met her.
Tommy- Well, I speak from personal experience, I wouldn't advise starin' her down...
Scott- Yeah, last time that happend... ooh, not pretty.
Eddie- So, uh, she single?
Carson- Jo? Yeah, why?
Eddie- Just wonderin'...
Scott- Oh, now this is too good.
Eddie- What?
Scott- Nothin'...

Eddie tries not to stare too much at her, but his eyes keep wandering her way. Lisa notices first and grins.

Lisa- I think Jo's got a secret admirer... not so secret though.
Jo- What? C'mon, Lis.
Lisa- I'm not jokin'!
Karen- *Looks over and laughs* Lisa's right. He's starin' right at ya!

Jo looks back over to him and waves,acknologing she knows he's staring at her then goes back to talking to her friends. Eddie sees her wave and couldn't be more happy. The bell rings signaling the students to get to study hall and as it turns out Jo has the same study hall as Eddie since it's not homeroom study hall that day.

Mr. Kenzint- Okay people, books out, find something to do or stay after school, although Jo, that's not a new thing to you.

Jo grin, knowing he's kidding, and then goes to doing her Spanish essay, not that she has anything else to do anyway. Eddie tries to concentrate on his own assignment, but can't stop thinking about her. He glances her way occasionally, until she looks his way, he goes back to doing his assignment. Finally, when he can't stand it anymore, not caring that he hasn't even really met her yet, he writes something down on a piece of paper, makes it into a paper football-type shape and sends it her way. Since she was watching him the whole time he was writing, she puts her hand up behind her and catches it.

Eddie- *Thinks* "Nice catch..."
Jo- *Unfolds the paper football and reads the note*

And... I'M STOPPIN THERE! HEHEHE Sry, but I gotta go anywayz. I'll post more tomorrow morning, or afternoon, but unless I can buy more time online (my mom might let me) I gotta go label my FOL & TD tapes. Fun huh? Took 37 pages to print out the ep. guide!

Keep up the Great Work

Hey guys, Kiera said she promises to post more soon, she's just doing something right now. :D

Alright, since Lis is goin' nuts, LOL, I'll post. BTW, Blair/JoFan, I LOVE ur avatar! It was my mom's b/f's (R.I.P) fave char.
Anywayz, here's more:

The note basically asks her if she'd walk home with him later. While she's reading it, the bell rings so she doesn't get a chance to reply. She goes to her next class which is Prof. Ryan's Shakespeare class. His class is usually the high point of their day. She walks in and sits down in her seat. Jesse, Lisa and Karen walk in not too soon afterwards followed by Carson, Tommy and Scott. Now knowing Eddie would be in that class since he wasn't there until after the bell rang, Jo tosses the note in the trash figuring she'll get back to him later at the end of school. Prof. Ryan walks in and sits at his desk.

Prof. Ryan- *Thick British accent* Today, we are going to discuss Romeo and Juliet.

Groans.

Prof. Ryan- Now, now. It's not that awful. So, who's our first Romeo?
Carson- Eddie!
Eddie- What?
Prof. Ryan- Eddie? *Looks over* Oh, I didn't realize we had a new student. Well, would you care to come up here?
Eddie- Not really, no.
Prof. Ryan- Ha! Thou are chicken?

Laughter.

Eddie- *Grins* Fine. *Walks up*
Prof. Ryan- Ah, very good. Now to find you a Juliet. *Places a Romeo-type looking cap on his head*

:lol:

Eddie- *Stifles a laugh*
Prof. Ryan- Now, who wants to be his Juliet?

Silence.

Prof. Ryan- Fine. I shall just have to pick someone.
Jesse- Jo'll do it!
Jo- *Takes off her headphones* Excuse me?
Prof. Ryan- Ah! Very good! Jo, would you come up here and be our Juliet?

Jo glares at Jesse before walking up to Prof. Ryan. She cracks her gum loudly and Prof. Ryan looks at her.

Prof. Ryan- They didn't have gum in this century so would you spit your non-existing gum in the trash bin please?
Jo- *Spits it out*
Prof. Ryan- Very good. *Places a crown with plastic flowers glued to it on her head*
Jo- *Rolls her eyes up to look*

:lol:

Prof. Ryan- Alright, now, Romeo, you're calling out to your love who's high up in a tower on the balcony. Or at least she will be in a moment. *Gets a chair and sets it beside Jo* Step up onto the chair and stand there as if it were a balcony.
Jo- *Stands up on the chair with her book*
Prof. Ryan- Ah, perfect. Now, Romeo, call out to your love!

Eddie reads from the play as "Romeo".

Eddie- "But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou her maid art far more fair than she:
Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green
And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.
It is my lady, O, it is my love!
O, that she knew she were!
She speaks yet she says nothing: what of that?
Her eye discourses; I will answer it.
I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks:
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night.
See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!"

Jo reads from the play as "Juliet".

Jo- "Ay me!"

Eddie- "She speaks:
O, speak again, bright angel! for thou art
As glorious to this night, being o'er my head
As is a winged messenger of heaven
Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes
Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him
When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds
And sails upon the bosom of the air."

Jo- "O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet."

Loud claps and whistles from the class sound through the room.

Prof. Ryan- Eddie! Jo! Oh, that was wonderful! So passionate and heart-felt! Well done! Now, we're going to skip to the last scene so you all can see how deeply they loved each other. Alright, Jo, step off the chair and everyone go to the last scene of the play in your books. Alright, go.

Eddie lays down like he's dead, holding a small plastic cup and Jo kneels down beside him, occasionally looking at the book for Juliet's lines. She reads, once again, as Juliet.

Jo- "What's here? a cup, closed in my true love's hand?
Poison, I see, hath been his timeless end:
O churl! drunk all, and left no friendly drop
To help me after? I will kiss thy lips;
Haply some poison yet doth hang on them,
To make die with a restorative."
--She kisses him.---
"Thy lips are warm."

The bell rings.

Prof. Ryan- Class, that's all for today. Jo, Eddie, wonderful job! See you tomorrow.

Jo takes off the flowered crown and lays it on his desk, walking out the door. Eddie, on the other hand, just lays there, with a dazed and happy look on his face. :biglove:

Prof. Ryan- *Stifles a laugh* Romeo, your Juliet took off, get up. *Smiles and helps him up*
Eddie- :blush:

He leaves quickly, returning to put the cap back on the desk, then leaves again. Prof. Ryan laughs a little and puts the Romeo and Juliet props back on his desk.

That's all yallz eez getting! LOL, sorry, but I'm working on restoring my computer. Thanks sooooo much Lis for the help! BTW, if anyone's interested, I'm writing another story, a Halloween Fol one. Season 9. When I get it done, I'll post the idea and if ya like it I'll post, k? Hope ya like what I typed up. I could just picture the setting *Romantic sigh* Yeah right! I don't do that romantic sigh stuff, LOL. Anywayz, LATER!


:dizzy:

Ouhh bravo!

Keep up the good work.

Awsome Fan Fic Post more ASAP!!!

Okay, as you requested, I'm postin ASAP! I got piano lessons tonight, so I'll post again if I don't get much done. Heh, now, what did I last write...? *Scrolls down* Ah, okay, I gots it now! :crazy:
Here's more:

Eddie walks out into the halls, looking for Jo. The bell rings and he runs to the auditorium where they have study hall for the last class of the day. Since everyone's seated in alphabetical order for this class, Eddie knew it wasn't likely he was gonna get to sit beside Jo. Walking in quietly, so the teacher or anyone else won't notice he's late, he sits in the very back not caring if he's in the right order or not. The teacher notices.

Mr. Russo- Brennan, Edward. Up front. Now.
Eddie- Yes, sir...! *Goes to the front where he's supposed to be seated*

Just as Eddie sits down, a girl comes in, gives Mr. Russo a note and walks back out. He puts on his reading glasses and them peers up from them into the rows.

Mr. Russo- Is there a Jo, uhm, Pol-nia-c-zek in here?

A few giggles from the study hall from him trying to pronounce her last name.

Jo- Yeah, why?
Mr. Russo- Well, you're wanted in room 107.
Jo- That's Mr. Jerome's room.
Mr. Russo- Yes it is.
Jo- Is it important? *Really not wanting to go down there*
Mr. Russo- How should I know? I just got the note saying you were wanted in room 107.
Jo- Yeah, but, Mr. Russo, I can't, I really shouldn't be left alone with him...
Mr. Russo- Jo, don't argue with me, just go and get back!
Jo- *Gives him a look and grabs her stuff*

Eddie watches her walk out and wonders why she didn't want to go. He brushes his feelings off since he doesn't know her that well and continues to do his writing assignment. Jo walks down the hall and stops at room 107. She debates whether or not to walk in, but she figures if she just hides somewhere, he's gonna go up to the office and say she didn't come down and they'll look for her. She walks in, holding her Spanish book and notebook and looks around.

Mr. Jerome- Looking for me? *Comes out of a dark corner in the room*
Jo- Whatever ya want, make it quick.
Mr. Jerome- *Grins* That'd be a little hard to do, but your wish is my command.
Jo- *Gives him a look* Ya know what I mean.
Mr. Jerome- Hmm, I guess that slap I gave you last time did nothing. You're still a mouthy teenager.
Jo- I'm not normally kind to my rapists, so sorry.

Since she says this very sarcastically, which only makes him more aggrivated, he throws her against the wall, just as a warning.

Mr. Jerome- *Cold tone* Don't mention it. Now, let's get down to bussiness. I have something to discuss with you.
Jo- *Harsh tone* What? No forcin' me down?
Mr. Jerome- *Grins* I can always do that afterwards. Not like there's anybody here, but no. We need to discuss what happened.
Jo- I know what happened. You're a sick SOB who likes to use girls like me for pleasure and power.
Mr. Jerome- Hmm, nice observation.

He takes out a pocket knife and grabs Jo, putting her in a hold she can't escape from while pressing the knife against her throat lightly.

Mr. Jerome- This is what I wanted to talk about. If you ever tell anyone about last night, or any other occasion similar to that, I'll kill you. *Lets her go roughly*

Jo quickly leaves, taking her stuff with her and goes back to study hall with her heart racing, replaying what he'd said, trying to convince herself it didn't just happen. The kid beside her happens to notice she's shaking and goes to tell Mr. Russo when the bell rings. Jo leaves, not waiting for Jesse or anybody else, and walks quickly out to the parking lot, just wanting to get home. Not remembering to catch Eddie after school, she walks home quickly, ignoring when Jesse starts to follow her.

Jesse- Jo! Wait up!
Jo- *Continues walking*

Jesse finally catches up to her and runs in front of her, grabbing her by the shoulders.

Jesse- Jo, what's wrong? What'd he do to ya?
Jo- *Trying to act as calm as possible* Nothin', Jess. I, uh, I just wanna get home, okay? I'll see ya lata'.

She gets home and goes straight into her room, making sure she locked all 3 locks on the door beforehand. When Rose comes home she looks around the room a little confused.

Rose- Jo?
Jo- In here, ma.
Rose- *Opens Jo's bedroom door* Honey, it's pitch black in here. What are you doing?
Jo- Nothin'. I just got some things on my mind.
Rose- *Turns on her bedside light and sits down on the bed* Anything you wanna talk about?
Jo- Not really. I'm fine, I'm just, I uh, got a test comin' up, so, I'm a little freaked out about that.
Rose- *Doesn't really believe her* Okay... well then, um, I'm gonna go take a shower and catch some sleep before I have to get up later. Just don't stay up too late, alright?
Jo- *Smiles a little* Yeah, sure.
Rose- *Smiles and gives her a kiss on the head before walking out*

Hey, Listen, I'd LOVE to type more but I gotta go to my lessons. I'll be back around 7:30/8:00 N then I'll post more k? luv ya'll peace out!


:wave:

This is great!!

Hey! Thanks everybody for ur GREAT replies! I love reading them! It's really cool to think people are actually liking what I wrote haha. Okay, well, anywayz, I know i promised to post when i got back from piano, but the truth is, my class was sorta cancelled. my teacher took a nap, which we didn't know at the time, we went to my gram n pap's, called, her n my mom argued a little and it was this whole big drama. We didn't get home til 8 or so and by that time, my cousins were here and they made me watch Lilo N Stitch w/ them and right now im actually sneaking to be online lol, mom's asleep. anyhow, glad u all like the story and ill post more tomorrow morning. to tell ya the truth, i wasn't sure how ppl would respond/react to it since Jo isn't bein the *tough tomboy* she usually is, but hey, in the real world, in that typa situation ya can't always be the tough one, yknow? well ne-wayz, enuf of my babblin' ill catch ya'll tomorrow aiite? c-yaz!

:wave: :wave: :wave:

okay everybody, uh change of plans. see, my mom's half asleep and doesn't know what she's sayin so apparently she don't care if i post or not... so here's more:

Jo sighs not liking to lie to her mom, but doesn't want to tell her about the whole Mr. Jerome thing. She lays back on her bed and falls asleep. After 45 minutes, she's tossing and turning rapidly on her bed, having a nightmare about Mr. Jerome. Her mom hears her talking, sounding panicked, and walks in. She notices her daughters movements and quickly goes over and tries to wake her.

Rose- Jo, honey, calm down! Jo, wake up! Jo!

When she finally wakes up she gasps for air, as if someone were choking her, only panicking Rose more.

Rose- Jo? Honey, are you alright?
Jo- *Breathing heavily* Yeah, I just, uh, had a nightmare, I think.
Rose- You were tossing and turning so quickly. Are you sure nothing's bothering you?
Jo- Ma, I told ya, I'm fine. Really.
Rose- *Sighs, knowing her daughter's not going to tell her* Alright. As long as you're okay. Goodnight, sweetheart. *Smiles and shuts her door*
Jo- *Lays back on her bed again, wrapping the covers tightly around her*

***Next Morning***

im sooooo sorry i havent been posting! but im all ready now. ive been playin wit my Norns... dont ask if ya dont know! if ya wanna see a picture of one lemme know. they're so kute! anywayz, here's more:

Jo wakes up, relieved she didn't have any more nightmares about Mr. Jerome. She hears her mom in the kitchen, wondering why she ain't at work. She gets up out of bed and walks into the kitchen, accidentally startling Rose.

Rose- Oh! Jo, you scared me! What are you doing up so early?
Jo- *Looks at the clock and her eyes widen* Well, actually, to tell ya the truth, I have no idea.
Rose- *Laughs a little* I see. Well, as long as you're up, sit down and we'll have breakfast.
Jo- Ma, I can---
Rose- Don't even try it. We haven't had a family breakfast together since your father left, so we're having one now.
Jo- Fine. You win.
Rose- Good. I'm your mother that's how it should be. *Smiles*
Jo- *Grins*

Rose gets some butter out of the fridge and sets it on the table. She gets the bacon off the stove and puts a few pieces on each of their plates. The toaster spits out the toast so quick that Jo has to stand up to catch it.

Jo- Hot! *Sets it down quickly on a plate* We really need to get that thing fixed...
Rose- *Sighs* Yes, I know. *Catches the other two pieces that fly out of the toaster*

They sit down, talking a little, eat breakfast and by the time they're done it's time for Jo to walk to school. Knowing Jo, she'd rather take her bike, but the school has a strict policy against student parking... they don't allow it.

***School***
Jo- *Laughs a little* Jesse?

Scott's arm is around her and when she sees Jo she quickly gets out of the hold.

Jesse- Jo! Uh, how are ya?
Jo- Fine... and yaself?
Jesse- *Nervous smile* Great...
Jo- *Grins* Don't even try it. Hey Scott.
Scott- Hey, feelin' better?
Jo- *Gives him a weird look* Who said I was sick?
Jesse- *Starts to walk away slowly*
Jo- Hold it, Sanchesz.
Jesse- Heh, heh, yes?
Jo- Did ya tell him 'bout...?
Jesse- Well...
Jo- *Sighs* That's none of his bussiness, Jess!
Jesse- Well, he asked what was wrong... and I don't think he'd tell anybody. If not, we can take care of that... *Holds a fist up to his nose* Tell and die.
Scott- Yes, ma'am! *Runs down the hall*
Jo- *Laughs a little*
Jesse- We're actually on time, I think. *Checks her watch* Yeah, wow, that's weird.
Jo- Ma made me eat reakfast with 'er.
Jesse- Last time I was at your house for breakfast it was like a combat zone!
Jo- *Grins* Yeah, well, ya got that right.

The bell rings and they get to class. Mr. Jerome eyes Jo the whole time until he's forced to look at the whole class. Just as he's about to speak the PA system pops on.

Mr. Morris over PA System- Students, there will be a dance tonight from 7-9. Casual dress. Admission is two dollars.

Students chatter loudly from the news they just heard. Mr. Jerome taps on his desk loudly with a ruler to get their attention. They all stop talking immediately.

Mr. Jerome- Thank you.

He teaches the day's lesson and after a while the bell rings, signaling the next class.

UGH! Sorry so short but my friend's mom just called, gotta go babysit! Post lata tonight when im takin care-a my norns. SSS! (sry so short)

-k!3R@

This is great can't wait to read more!

awesome, awesome!

okay since im waitin for lisa to eat her mcflurry : P i'll post more:

Eddie sees Jo walking down the hall and wonders if he should go up and talk to her. While following her down the hall, Mr. Collins just stares at him, trying not to laugh. Jo knows he's behind her and when she turns a corner, she quickly turns around, catching Eddie off-guard and pinning him against a wall.

Jo- There any particular reason ya been on my @$$ for the past 5 minutes?
Eddie- N, No, it's uh, just that uh, y, ya didn't write me back.
Jo- So what that gives ya an obligation to follow me around the halls?
Eddie- *Sighs* Sorry.

Jo rolls her eyes and walks the other way, obviously not in a good mood. Mr. Collins waits until she's gone to go over to Eddie and talk to him.

Mr. Collins- Rough day?
Eddie- You try bein' pinned against a wall at random...!
Mr. Collins- *Laughs*
Eddie- Jeez, is it that time of the month or somethin'?!
Mr. Collins- ohno: I wouldn't ask that to ANY girl, let alone Jo if you plan on living a full life... ohno:
Eddie- *Sighs* Yeah, I gotta get to class. See ya. *Walks down the hall*

Mr. Collins goes back to his classroom and teaches the algebra lesson planned for that day. He notices Jo dozing off a few times and just continues teaching. After the fourth or fifth time he catches her, he attempts to wake her.

Mr. Collins- So, Jo, do you find you think better when you sleep?
Jo- :sleep: Huh?
Mr. Collins- *Laughs a little* Nevermind. *Continues teaching*

Hey, okay I know that's not much, but, im a leeeeeeettle busy tryna sort all 394 pages of this so ill post more later or tomorrw aiite? c-yaz!

p.s.- if Eddie asks her that, I also doubt he'll live long..........



:ufo:

:eek: More .. I WANNA SEE ANAI I CAN'T D/L HER! awwh.

randomness: i love my avatar.

okay, sorry i havent been posting, i was sooooo freakin busy and tired yestaday when i got home it was krazy. wedding at 2 ended at 3, reception at 5, ended at like.. 10 then w/ all my family and everything ugh. Nehow! you guys really deserve more anywayz, so here ya go:

Jo keeps trying to stay awake during his teaching, and fails to do so until the bell rings, waking her up quickly. She walks out of his class and goes to walk down the hall.

Mr. Collins- Jo? Can I talk to you for a sec?
Jo- Well, uh, I'm gonna be late for class and I don't don't wanna get detention...
Mr. Collins- Won't take that long. Besides, if it does, I'll write you a pass.

She sighs, walking back in and Mr. Collins smiles and sits on the edge of his desk while Jo sits in a nearby chair.

Mr. Collins- So, how's your mom?
Jo- Fine.
Mr. Collins- That's good.
Jo- Look, did ya call me back down here just to ask how ma was?
Mr. Collins- Err, no, I was just stalling, heh. Um, no, what I really mean to ask ya is how're you? Ya seem a little out of it today.
Jo- Ah, yeah well, that's what happens when ya only sleep 3 hours outta 12.
Mr. Collins- So, is that why you pinned Eddie to the wall earlier?
Jo- Yeah. Ugh, I do feel kinda bad 'bout that.
Mr. Collins- Maybe you should talk to him.
Jo- Yeah. Hey, look, I got class and I really don't needa get in any more hot water with Mr. Jerome.

She leaves the classroom walking quickly down the hall as possible. Luckily, she makes it to class on time and sits down in her seat, not daring to fall asleep in one of his classes since she was there for two periods. He walks in and sits at his desk, taking roll. Afterwards, he gets up from his desk and stands in front of the students.

Mr. Jerome- Our new guy's gym teacher wanted me to give all my classes a message. The new pool on the last floor is done and he wanted to know, providing on behavior and grades, if the classes would like to take a day off and go down to swim for a couple classes. If you're interested in going, sign this sheet on your way out. *Tapes it to the wall by the door frame* Now, that that's taken care of, it's time for you to take out your books and open up to page 357 and get ready to take notes.

He continues talking until they have mixed study halls and the other class comes in. Usually they had a MSH with Mr. Russo's class, but today they had one with Mr. Collins'. They all take their seats and the study hall begins. Eddie works on his work until he sees a paper football fly his way. He unfolds it and reads it.



Sorry I snapped at ya. -Jo



Eddie smiles writing back. He folds the paper football up and sends it her way. She catches it before Mr. Jerome looks up at her and reads it. It continues like that until class ends, where they'd agreed to meet each other outside in the parking lot. Jo grabs her books and goes to her locker, happy she didn't leave anything in the room, not wanting to go back for it if she had. She walks outside, looking around for him. When he finally shows up they both smile at each other.

N Im stoppin there! Not sure if that's a cliffhanger or not... but hey, i got a life too yknow : P anyhow, post more lata if i can. eatin' supper up my gram n pap's tonight so lord knows what'll happen. c-yaz!!

-k!3rA

It's awesome!

awesome, this just keeps getting better and better!!!

okay hey thanks for waitin so long! here's more:


Jo- So, uh, how long ya been here?
Eddie- About a week.
Jo- Oh...

***UNCOMFORTABLE SILENCE***



Eddie- I'm sorry about earlier. I didn't mean to stalk ya.
Jo- *Laughs a little*It's okay. I tend to get kinda moody when I don't get enough sleep.
Eddie- Well, you're very pretty when you're mad.
Jo- That's gotta be one of the oldest lines eva'.
Eddie- Yeah, I try. *Grins*
Jo- I gotta get home. I'll see ya at the dance tonight?
Eddie- Oh. Do ya got a date?
Jo- Nah, I don't date. I'm just goin' with some of my friends.
Eddie- Then you'll definitely see me there. *Smiles*
Jo- See ya. *Walks down the other way*

Eddie waits until she's out of view to do a little victory dance.
:dance:
Jesse happens to be walking down steps at this time, laughs and walks over.

Jesse- Havin' fun?
Eddie- ...How long were ya standin' there...?
Jesse- *Grins* Long enough to know ya got no rhythm. *Laughs, walking the other way*
Eddie- *Clears his throat and leaves*

***********************DANCE***************************
Jo gets there at 7:12, waiting for the others. When they all get there they go inside. Most of the upper classmen are there already dancing, talking and laughing with their friends or dates.

Karen- Jeez, Jo! Ya couldn'ta dressed up a little?
Jo- *Looks at her* Lettin' my hair down and wearin' hoop earrings is dressin' up for me. Besides, I didn't even wanna do that!
Lisa- Aw, but ya look so pretty like that!
Jesse- Ya do look good. Eddie won't be able to keep his hands off ya.
Jo- Considerin' I don't know him that well, he'd betta'.
Karen- *Grins*
Lisa- Point being, I agree with Karen. Ya coulda wore jeans without holes in 'em.
Jesse- She don't got any... *Laughs a little*
Karen- Right. My bad.
Jo- I'm just gonna ignore ya now... *Starts to walk away*
Jesse- *Pulls her back* Ah, c'mon. Ya know we're just kiddin' around.
Jo- Uh huh. *Grins*

The guys get there later than the girls. Eddie decided to come with Carson, Tommy and Scott, so when they get there, they'd walk right over to the girls. Scott sees Jesse and smiles, wrapping his arm around her. Jo leans against the wall and Eddie walks over.

Eddie- Havin' fun tonight?
Jo- Just got here not too long ago.
Scott- *Kisses Jesse* Well, if it get's boring we could always go somewhere else.
Jesse- I highly doubt this dance is gonna be any more excitin' than the othas.
Karen- *Smiles*
Lisa- Ooh, think if I request a song they'd play it?
Karen- They usually do...
Lisa- Great! *Goes up to the DJ to request a song*
Jesse- Think they'll actually play it?
Jo- *Shrugs*

:music: "Mickey" by Toni Basil comes on :music:

Lisa- *Grins and walks back over* C'mon, let's dance!
Jo- Ugh, no, Lis, I hate this song!
Karen- Just because you and Jesse choose to hate this song, doesn't mean we hafta! *Dances with Lisa*
Jo- *Shakes her head* God...
Jesse- Oh jeez.
Eddie- *Laughs* Ya gotta admit, they got the moves down!
Jo- It's a song the cheerleaders use for pep rallies. Besides, I don't dance.
Jesse- Ya ain't the only one.

The song ends.

Lisa- You guys really missed out!
Karen- Oh yeah!
Jo- *Sarcasm* Yeah, what a shame.
Jesse- *Sarcasm* I could just kick myself.
Lisa- *Sighs* Fiiiine.

:music: "Hungry Eyes" by Eric Carmen plays :music:

Everyone sees this as an oppourtunity to get something to drink or just talk. Jesse, Jo, Lisa, Karen, Eddie, Scott, Tommy and Carson find it a time to get out of there and go someplace else.

***Next Day****
Jesse slept over at Jo's the previous night so when Jo's alarm goes off, she gets up and wakes Jo.

Jo- What?
Jesse- Time to get up. Can I borrow somethin'-a yours?
Jo- Yeah, sure. *Starts to fall back asleep* :sleep2:
Jesse- :rolleyes: Jo! Get up!

Jo shoots up outta bed surprised.

Jesse- :lol:
Jo- Ugh! Don't do that!
Jesse- Heh, sorry. I don't need any more tardies though.
Jo- Me neitha.

She gets up tossing Jesse a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. Jesse gets dressed while Jo takes a shower, dries her hair and puts on a tank top, short sleeved cover shirt and a pair of ripped up, acid washed jeans.

Jesse- *Laughs* God, those are ugly!
Jo- They're worn!
Jesse- Whateva ya say. C'mon, we're gonna be late.

CharmedVixen7@aol.com

aim and yahoo are the same
newayz here's more:


Jo- Yeah, yeah, I'm comin'.

They walk to school, just catching the edge of a down pour. They walk in and get to class a little late, as usual. Mr. Jerome's not there until after the second bell rings. He does the morning tasks that need to be done and just as he picks up his lesson plan, the bell rings. Everybody looks around since there's not supposed to be a third bell and wonders what going on.

sry so short but i gotta make a phone call. post more lata!

-kiera:wave:

This is great post more soon!

eee post more.:wave:

ok here's more:

Secretary over PA System- Standard procedure. All classes must go to the outside hall and duck down in tornado-cover positions. That is all.

Mr. Jerome- *Glares* Nice of them to give us teachers a warning. Alright everybody, you heard her, out in the hall, crouch down and squish together.

They all go outside and do the tornado drill. After a few minutes the principle and the teachers walk by the rows, making sure everyone's doing it right and when they see everyone is, they ring the bell again telling everyone to get back to class. Everyone goes back to their classes and waits for the next bell to ring. When it finally does everyone in the upper grades goes to lunch. Jesse, Karen, Jo and Lisa get their food and sit down at their usual table. The guys are sitting across from them. They're all talking and laughing jsut as the girls are. Everyone except Jo.

Jesse- *Notices* Jo? Hey, Jo, you okay?
Jo- Huh? Oh, yeah, fine.
Lisa- Ya look kinda pale.
Karen- *Nods*
Jo- Really, I'm fine.

She gets a sharp pain in her stomach, followed by a wave of nausea. She ignores it at first, but when both feelings become too intense, she quickly gets up and runs down the hall into the girl's bathroom, getting sick in one of the stalls. Karen runs after her, followed by Lisa and Jesse. The guys notice and follow to find out what's going on. Jesse walks in and knocks on a few of the stall doors.

Jesse- Jo?
Lisa- *Sits on the radiator, but quickly jumps off* Ah, I just burnt my @$$!
Karen- *Rolls eyes* Hey, Jo, you okay?
Jo- *Coughs*
Karen- I take that as a no...?
Jesse- *Gets a cup of water and slides it under the stall*

Jo takes it, drinking some and slowly stands up. She flushes the toilet and comes out.

Lisa- Better?
Jo- *Leans against the wall, not saying anything*
Karen- Maybe we should get the nurse.
Jesse- *Glances out the door* Hey, ain't those the guys out there?
Lisa- *Looks* Yeah.
Karen- Why're they here?
Lisa- Probaby saw alla us run out and wonderin' what's goin' on.
Karen- I'll go tell 'em. *Walks out and over to them*
Scott- Hey, what's-a matter with Jo?
Carson- Yeah, she okay?
Karen- *Shrugs* Seems that way.
Eddie- Seems?
Karen- Well, I'm not a docta', Eddie. I don't know.
Eddie- Eh, yeah I know, Kar.
Karen- Anyway, whaddaya guys doin' here?
Tommy- We just saw you guys run out after her, so we followed.
Karen- Well, she's okay now. At least it looks that way. Why don't ya go back and enjoy ya lunch?
Carson- *Makes a face* Considering what all just happened, I'd rather not... ohno:
Karen- *Laughs* Well, I know it's not food poisoning, considering she didn't eat nothin', so I think you're safe.

Jesse, Lisa and Jo come out of the bathroom a few minutes later. Jo gets dizzy for a minute and not wanting to get sick again, she closes her eyes, then opens them again.

Jesse- Dizzy?
Jo- *Nods*
Lisa- Maybe you should call ya mom.
Jo- What, just because I'm feelin' a little off?
Lisa- *Rolls eyes* "A little off" is an unda'statement.
Jo- *Sighs*
Eddie- How 'bout this. I take her up to the nurse's office?
Lisa- Oh would you? I'm having serious doubts she'll go herself.
Jo- *Glares*
Eddie- Sure.
Jo- Look, I'm fine. Ya don't needa do that.
Eddie- *Sighs* Okay. *Picks her up and carries her down the hall to the nurse's office*
Lisa- *Laughs* Oh my god.
Karen- I don't think that's what ya meant...
Jesse- *Grins*
Carson- We'd better get back to lunch before anyone notices we're gone. *Starts to walk down the hall*

Lisa, Jesse and Karen follow.

Jo- Eddie, I'm not kiddin', put me down.
Eddie- *Shakes his head and smiles* No, sorry.
Jo- Eddie, do ya know what it's like to walk with-a limp?
Eddie- *Sighs* Stop being so stubbourn. You know as well as I do ya ain't feelin' too hot today.
Jo- Ugh, fine, you win, but I walk back myself, or I'm givin' ya the limp, deal?
Eddie- *Gets to the Nurse's office door and laughs* Deal. *Carries her in*
Nurse- *Gives him a strange look* Um, is there a reason you're carrying a young girl into my office...?
Eddie- Yeah, because she wouldn't come herself. *Sets Jo down*
Jo- *Glares*
Nurse- I see. Well, what seems to be the matter, Jo?
Jo- *Bites her lower lip, not wanting to say anything*
Eddie- *Nudges her in the back*
Jo- *Sighs* Alright, alright. Look, I'm not really sure. One minute I'm in lunch, next thing I know, I got pains in my stomach and I'm throwin' up in the girl's bathroom.
Nurse- Well, even though I can't be positive, it doesn't sound like the stomach flu. That doesn't hit so sudden nor is vomiting followed by stomach pains. Why don't you go back to class and if you get either of those symptoms again I want you to come and see me, alright? Just... don't bring him. *Points to Eddie*
Jo- *Gives her a strange look* Ooo-kay... *Leaves*
Eddie- *Follows* Well, that was nice of her.
Jo- *Shrugs*
Eddie- Want some help back up to class?
Jo- Eddie, I'm not broken. I'm fine.
Eddie- Hush, I'm helpin' ya anyway.

After Eddie helps her back to class, she sits through the rest of fifth period, barely hearing any of what Mr. Jerome's teaching.

Mr. Jerome- And that's why a lot of the problems we have today don't seem like such a big deal. Especially compared to theirs.

Lisa talks to Karen while Jesse writes Jo a note and passes it to her. Jo reads it and is about to respond when she sees a dark shadow standing over her.

Mr. Jerome- Jo, if you spent as much time on your work as you do on passing notes to Jesse, you'd be in great shape. *Thinks* "Come to think of it, you are already..."

Jo- *Rolls eyes and continues writing*

Mr. Jerome- *Goes back to his desk*

hey i think thats enuf for yaz, its more than id normally post . anyhow, hope ya like it!!!

I'm also bein pressured to try out for the role of Sandy in a production of GREASE that my school's doin. so i know how Jo felt!!! anyhow ill figure that out later. though id be happy to hear any opinions or if u think i should try out or not : ) and Lisa, i am NOT GOOD AT SINGING!!! : P at least not in my opinion.
anywayz here's more:


All period seem to quickly pass until 8th, Professor Ryan's Shakespeare class. Everyone gets seated and the bell rings. He walks in and his smile quickly fades when he sees Jo. Not looking like herself, he thought it might have something to do with Mr. Jerome. He'd heard heard rumors about the teacher and believed every single one of them. He decided to ask her about it after class, not now out in the open. Since Mr. Collins and Mr. Jerome's class were mixed for the class, Eddie was still in the same class with Jo and the rest of the guys.

Prof. Ryan- Ready for some more Shakespeare today?

The class is silent.

Prof. Ryan- Hmm, speechless, I see. Well, then, you're in for a real treat today.

Despite his fun and active teaching methods, the class groans. He teaches the class and before everyone knows it, the bell ring and class is over. Jo walks out and by the time Professor Ryan remembers to ask her how she was feeling, she's gone. Mr. Jerome catches her in the dark hallway and pulls her to the side roughly.

Mr. Jerome- Don't think I don't know what you were doing. Talking to Professor Ryan wasn't a smart move.
Jo- What? I didn't even talk to him and I ain't feelin' too great so lemme go.
Mr. Jerome- *Slaps her* Get out of here.

Jo leaves quickly going home, just wanting to lie down. Having a headache at the moment, she lays down on the couch in hopes she'd soon fall asleep. The doorbell rings and she holds her head.

Jo- Oh, my god, whoeva's there, go away.
Jesse- Jo, it's Jess. Came to see how ya were feelin'
Jo- *Gets up and opens the door*

Jesse walks in and after she shuts the door, Jo lays back down on the couch.

Jesse- *Sits on the chair* Ya look terrible.
Jo- *Gives her a look* Thanks...
Jess- Heh, no, I meant you're so pale.
Jo- Losin' my tan, huh? *Grins a little*
Jesse- *Laughs* Nah, naturally dark toned skin don't fade that easy.

Jo smiles back and not too soon after she gets the pains in her stomach followed by the nausea she had earlier. She goes to the bathroom, getting sick. Jesse sighs and gets a cup out of the cupboard filling it with cold water, sliding it through a crack in the bathroom door. The phone rings and Jesse answers.

Jesse- Yeah, hello?
Rose- Jesse? It's Rose.
Jesse- Oh, yeah, hi, how are ya?
Rose- Good as can be expected. Listen, can I talk to Jo?
Jesse- Er, well... not really?
Rose- *Gets a stange look on her face* Okay, why not?
Jesse- Well, uh, she's a liiiiittle busy right now...
Rose- Oh. I see.
Jesse- Well, believe me, I don't really think she's too thrilled about it myself, but uh--- *Gets cut off by Rose*
Rose- Jesse, what's she doing?
Jesse- *Makes a face* Ya want the exact details...?
Rose- *Laughs* On second thought, nevermind. As long as she's okay. I'll be home as soon as I can. Bye hun. *Hangs up*

As promised, Rose gets home around 11. She sees Jo asleep on the couch and Jesse on the chair. She puts blankets over both of them and goes to bed.

Hope ya liked what I posted. I made up for my missin stuff!!! : P

kie

oh kie - yes you are! :p


this is AWESOME, post more soon!!

Great post more soon!

cool cool.:)

hey! ima post more before i leave today at noon. : )

***Next Morning***
Jo and Jesse wake up at around 6:30. They get up from the couch and chair, wondering if Rose got home last night. Jo looks around and hears her mom messing around in the bedroom and she looks at Jesse.

Jo- Did ya hear ma come in last night?
Jesse- No.
Jo- *Yells to Rose* Ma? Whaddaya doin' home?
Rose- *Walks out of her room* Oh, good. You girls are up.
Jo- Uh, yeah. Hey, ain't ya supposed to be at work?
Rose- Well, I came home earlier than usual last night. I told Jesse over the phone.
Jo- Oh.
Rose- Anyhow, she said you were sick, so I came home. How're you feeling this morning, honey? Any better?
Jo- Oh, yeah, just got a little headache.
Rose- *Brushes Jo's bangs out of her eyes* Well, maybe I should stay home today.
Jo- Ma, ya can't do that. Ya know we need the money and I'm feelin' fine.

Rose looks at her daughter, obviously doubting this.

Rose- Are you sure?
Jo- Yeah, positive.

Rose sighs knowing she's really not.

Rose- Alright, well, in that case, I'll go and get ready. You girls go get ready for school. *Goes into her bedroom, shutting the door*

Jo- Ya just wanna borrow somethin'-a mine?
Jesse- Not like I haven't done it before.

Jo walks into her room, with Jesse following and gets a black baby tee and a pair of ripped up jeans out of her drawers for herself and tosses Jesse a red t-shirt and a pair of black Jordaches.

Jesse- *Catches them* Thanks.
Jo- No problem.

They both get dressed and walk out to the livingroom. Rose walks out of her own room in her cocktail waitressing outfit and looks at the clock.

Rose- Girls, hurry up and get to school, or you'll be late. I gotta go to work and Jo?
Jo- Yeah?
Rose- Call me if you're not feeling well.
Jo- Yeah, ma, I will. See ya lata'.
Rose- *Sighs* I've heard the 'yeah mom' I will line before. Jesse, make sure she calls if anything's wrong.
Jesse- *Laughs* Okay, Rose.
Rose- Thank you. *Kisses her daughter on the head* Bye, honey. Have a good day at school and please don't get into any fights.
Jo- :rolleyes:
Rose- Joanna Marie...
Jo- Alright, alright, no fights.
Rose- *Smiles and leaves*
Jo- Ugh, my motha'.
Jesse- *Silent*
Jo- What?
Jesse- Your mom's right.
Jo- *Looking around for her keys* About...?
Jesse- Callin' her if ya feel sick or whateva'.
Jo- *Finds her keys* Jess, ma doesn't need to miss any work just 'cause I can't control my stomach problems. *Walks out the door*
Jesse- *Sighs and follows* Yeah, and normally I'd agree with ya, but Jo I don't think it's normal to get stomach pains and nausea every other hour.
Jo- Fine. Then I won't eat anything today. *Grins*
Jesse- I'm serious.

They walks down the street, not talking after that, until Jesse comes to a horrible thought.

Jesse- Jo... this is probably gunna sound weird or whateva'... but I gotta ask. When Jerome raped ya, did he use... er... protection?
Jo- *Gives her a weird look* Okay, yeah that isn't really a question ya hear everyday... but no, not that I know of.

Jesse goes to say something, but they get to school before she can. Lisa and Karen see them and they walk over, attracting Carson, Eddie, Scott and Tommy's attention. Scott gives Jesse a quick kiss and walks beside her. Eddie walks over beside Jo, who smiles at him.

Eddie- Feelin' better?
Jo- Yeah.
Scott- *Smiles at Jesse puts his arm around her*
Karen- Oh, to not be single.
Lisa- *Nods*
Tommy- *Slips his arm around Lisa* Well, ya know baby, there's plenty of Tommy to go around.
Lisa- Here, don't forget your arm before I break it. *Smiles and roughly returns the arm back to its owner*
Karen- *Pats him on the shoulder* She's not THAT desperate, there Tom.
Tommy- *Sighs* Fiiiine. But do you still love me?
Jo- *Laughs*
Jesse- *Grins*
Karen- *Laughs* Unfortunately, it is so.

okay thats all for now. my grams here n ma's threatenin to pull the plug so adios chicos and chicas! post more lata on!

kie

It's awesome, can't wait for more!

lmao

Tommy- *Slips his arm around Lisa* Well, ya know baby, there's plenty of Tommy to go around.
Lisa- Here, don't forget your arm before I break it. *Smiles and roughly returns the arm back to its owner*


now i must goback to finding rare play pix - POST MORE!

hey! okay since im not in the mood to sort my school-shopping clothes, im gunna post more. well, at least i will as soon as i pee... been holdin it for like.. 3 hrs so BRB!! :eek:

ok bak. sry for the wait, but it was a must : P anyhow, enjoy!:

Tommy- *Grins and slips his arm around Karen*
Karen- Not THAT so.... *Returns his arm*
Tomy- Ugh! Nobody loves me and my arm is homeless. :(
Karen- Oh good lord, hush. :p
Lisa- *Laughs* Oh my, I think we passed Mr. Jerome's room... twice.
Scott- Yeah, I'd say your right.
Carson- Huh? What?
Jo- *Laughs a little*
Jesse- :rolleyes: Earth to Carson, come in Carson!
Carson- Sorry, had my headphones on.

They walk to Mr. Jerome's room, dropping Eddie and Carson off at Mr. Collins on the way. They sit down and the bell rings.

Mr. Jerome- You all just made it. What was the hold-up?
Tommy- We passed up the room.
Lisa- Twice...
Mr. Jerome- Oooo-kay, well, just don't let it happen again or you'll all get detention. Everyone else, take out your notebooks. Today we're going to be talking and taking notes on the Civil War. Then we're skipping in to the book to the Salem Witch Trials where we'll be focusing on Adultery. *Walks up to the blackboard and writes down some notes*

The loud speaker pops on and Mr. Jerome's name is called. He turns from the blackboard to the class.

Mr. Jerome- Keep doing your notes. This shouldn't take long. *Leaves*

While the class blows off doing the assignment, Mr. Jerome heads down to the office where the secretary tells him the principle would like to see him. He knocks on Mr. Morris' door.

Mr. Morris- Come in, Matt.
Mr. Jerome walks in, shutting the door and sits down.
Mr. Morris- Now, I've heard some disturbing rumors around and I want them, as I'm sure you do, cleared up as soon as possible. A few sources, who will remain nameless, have told me many... I'm sure inaccurate rumors about you and one of your female students, Joanna Marie Polniaczek. I've heard a lot of things, Matt and I just want your view on this.
Mr. Jerome- Well, Mr. Morris, I'm known for being friendly with students, yes, but I assure you, there's nothing going on between me and Ms. Polniaczek.
Mr. Morris- Well, I didn't think so either, but I felt it necessary to ask. She also came to me with a few complaints about a week ago.
Mr. Jerome- Well, yes, I have given her special attention, but that's not the case here. I have never had any... sexual contact of any kind with this young woman. I can assure you of that.
Mr. Morris- I see. Well, that's good. I was beginning to wonder myself if she was really telling the truth. Alright, now that that's all cleared up, I hope I never hear of these exaggerated tales again. I'm sorry if this has caused you any distrust in me.
Mr. Jerome- Really, it's not a big deal so let's not make it one. Kids are kids. They talk and gossip.
Mr. Morris- Yes, well, thank you for your time, Matt.
Mr. Jerome- *As he's heading out the door* No, thank you. *Leaves*

He walks down the hall, quickly, not too thrilled with Jo and reaches his classroom just as the bell for break is about to ring. Smiling, he walks in and sits at his desk, not really paying any mind to what his students are doing. He calls Jo up to his desk, forming a plan in his mind and hands her a piece of paper.

Mr. Jerome- Take this to Mr. Collins.

Jo takes the note, wondering why he's being so nice to her and walks down the hall. She knocks on his door even though it's already open.

Mr. Collins- *Looks out and laughs* It's open... :wave: Hey Jo, how are ya?
Jo- *Smiles* Pretty good. *Hands him the note*

Mr. Collins reads it and scribbles a quick response and hands her the note.

Mr. Collins- Here ya go. How'd your mom?
Jo- Fine.
Mr. Collins- Good, good. *Smiles*
Jo- *Smiles* Uh, yeah. Well, I'd, uh, I betta' get this back to Mr. Jerome. Gets upset when he doesn't get a response. Go figure *Grins*
Mr. Collins- *Laughs* Nice to know you have my kind-a sense of humor. As for that, I'd imagine so. *Smiles at her and goes back to teaching class*

Jo goes to leave and she gets a little dizzy. She holds the door frame for a minute, blinking her eyes until she seems to be feeling better. Mr. Collins looks over and is about to ask if she's okay, but when he sees her let go and appear to be going back to class, he disreguards the question and continues teachiung. As soon as she starts walking down the hall she starts to get really dizzy again and passes out right in front of Mr. Collins door in the hallway. He looks back over and sees her lying on the floor and runs out. This attracts Eddie's attention and he follows Mr. Collins.

Eddie- What's wrong, is she alright?
Mr. Collins- Yeah, she just passed out is all. C'mon. *Picks her up and carries her to the nurse's office*
Nruse- *Sees them coming* Oh my.
Eddie- *Holds the door open for Mr. Collins*
Nurse- Mr. Collins. Oh, my god, what happened?
Mr. Collins- I don't really know, Vi. She was leaving my room and passed out. Is she gonna be okay? *Lays Jo down on one of the beds in the back of the nurse's office*
Nurse- Well, I think she'll be fine, but uh, I think I might know what's causing all her problems.
Mr. Collins- That's not really any of our bussiness, so we'll be out here. *Takes Eddie out to the main office with him*
Nurse- *Sighs and gets a box out of an open cupboard*
Jo- *Wakes up a few minutes later* What the---
Nurse- You passed out, Jo. Do you remember that?
Jo- Not really...
Nurse- Well, in that case we won't waste any more time on that issue. Can you sit up for me, hun?

Jo sits up and the nurse brings the box over and sets it on the little bed. She takes out a smaller box out of the bigger one and hands it to Jo.

and thats all ya'llz eez gettin! : P just kidden. ill post more lata on c-yaz!!!

kie

SUPER, as usual!

awesome post moooooooooore!!!!

ok gunna post more since i have no life :crazy:

Jo- *Looks at the box* Eh, what's this...?
Nurse- *Sighs* Jo, have you had sexual intercourse recently?
Jo- *Eyes widen a minute* Uh... sorta...
Nruse- *Gives her a strange look* ...Would you elaborate on that, please...? :confused:
Jo- I was raped.
Nurse- Oh, I see. Well, I think you might be pregnant. Actually, I'm quite positive on it. Take this home and follow the directions on the back of the box. *Smiles and puts the big box back into the cupboard*

Jo walks out with the test and quickly puts it in her pocket when she sees Eddie and Mr. Collins standing by the door.

Eddie- What was that?
Jo- What was what?
Eddie- The box ya just put in your pocket.
Jo- Oh, a uh, tiny tube of toothpaste... she wants me to keep my teeth clean, I guess. *Smiles nervously, hoping he'll believe her*
Eddie- Well, the nurse is kinda weird, I guess.
Jo- Yeah. Hey, uh, why don't ya go back to class? I'll be okay.
Edie- Ya sure?
Jo- Yeah, fine.
Eddie- *Smiles* Well, okay. See ya later, Jo. *Walks back to class*

Jo breathes a sigh of relief and Mr. Collins walks over.

Mr. Collins- You don't want him to know?
Jo- *Sighs* I like 'im, Mr. Collins. I don't want him to... think I'm some kinda slut or somethin', y'know?
Mr. Collins- Yeah. I think I do. I heard you talking to the nurse. I'm sorry that happened to ya.
Jo- *Smiles a little* It's okay. Well, I mean, it's not okay, but it's not like I can change what happened.
Mr. Collins- *Lowers his voice* I heard rumors... about Mr. Jerome and other female students. I wish I knew sooner what he'd done.
Jo- Mr. Collins, it ain't your fault. Don't blame yaself.
Mr. Collins- *Smiles* Despite the fights and everything...

Jo looks down smiling a little.

Mr. Collins- *Laughs* You're a good kid.
Jo- *Looks at him and grins* Kid?
Mr. Collins- Ah, hush. Ya know what I mean.
Jo- *Smiles*
Mr. Collins- Want an escort back to class? *Grins*
Jo- *Laughs a little* Nah, get back to Algebra.

Mr. Collins goes back to his class and Jo goes back to class. After what seems an eternity to the students, the bell rings for them to go home. Jo gets home and sets her keys on the counter. She sits down on a chair in the kitchen and takes the pregnancy test out of her pocket and reads the directions. She takes it into the bathroom, shutting the door, and does the test. A mins later while she's waiting for the test results, the phone rings. She leaves the test on the edge of the sink and gets up off the floor to answer it.

Jo- Hello?
Jesse- Hey, Jo. Heard ya passed out today. You okay?
Jo- Sorta.
Jesse- Well, ya stopped gettin' sick, right?
Jo- For now.
Jesse- Then why do ya sound, er, not happy 'bout it?
Jo- *Hesitates before answering* The nurse told me I might be--
Jesse- Pregnant?
Jo- Yeah. She gave me a pregnancy test earlia'.
Jesse- What'd it say?
Jo- *Shrugs* I'm waiting for the results now.
Jesse- Well, I don't think it takes that long... but I'm just guessin'.
Jo- Think I should check it?
Jesse- Eh, I neva' taken one-a them things, I don't know!
Jo- Thanks, Jess, you're a-lotta help. :rolleyes: *Walks back into the bathroom to check the test*

hehe i think this is my first official cliffhanger....

bye!!!

kie

kie.. this is like the most.. :eek: part of he story and u leave us hanging :9.. why! lol - post more soon

ARG!!!


Oh wel, post more.

this...is awesome! Great choice in a cliff hanger!!!!

woulda posted sooner but i was heating up some more chicken broth. hehe which i love. that and i was hoping to get outta the house today but hey, my life sux. but anyhow, here's more for ya:

She picks up the test stick and drops it out of shock. Jesse hears it fall to the floor.

Jesse- Jo. Hey, Jo? What's it say?
Jo- *Quietly* ... I'm pregnant...
Jesse- Oh, my god. I'm comin' over. *Hangs up*
Jo- *Quietly* Fine... bye...

She hangs up just standing there for a minute, the realization of it all not completely hitting her yet. She sets the phone on the sink and bends down to get the test. When she takes another look at it again, it falls to the floor and she puts her face in her hands and cries. Jesse comes over a few minutes later and uses an extra key Jo gave her to get in the apartment. She walks into the bathroom to find Jo sitting against the wall by the sink, sobbing quietly. She bends down and just tries to comfort her friend until her mom gets home. Rose gets home around 9, wanting to see how Jo is and finds it odd that the apartment door is left wide open. She walks in, shutting and locking it, and hears a noise coming from the bathroom. She walks in to find Jesse sitting against the wall, next to Jo, who's still in the same position she was when Jesse got there. Rose sighs and goes over to Jo, kneeling down to her level.

Rose- Jesse, since she's not going to tell me...
Jesse- Our history teacher raped her... and got her pregnant. She just found out. *Motions to the pregnancy test on the edge of the tub*
Rose- Oh, my god. *Strokes Jo's hair* I'm sorry, honey.

***Next Morning***
Jo wakes up to the beeping of her alarm clock and loud music. She pushes the SLEEP button and looks around for a minute, not remembering how she got to bed the previous night. She hears her mom get up and figures since it's already around 7, that she should start getting ready for school. She slowly gets up out of bed, not wanting to make herself dizzy. The alarm clock goes off again, startling her and she walks over and pulls the plug. She goes over to her closet, pulling out a pair of light blue faded jeans and a light pink t-shirt. She pulls her hair back into a ponytail, the way she used to wear it when she was younger. Walking out into the livingroom, not knowing her mom would be ready so quickly, she looks around for her keys.

Rose- *Standing by the doorway* Good morning.
Jo- *Smiles and continues looking for her keys*
Rose- How're you feeling?
Jo- That depends on how good you can feel knowin' you're pregnant.
Rose- *Sighs* I wish I would have known. I feel awful thinking about the pain you must have been going through.
Jo- Ma, it's no big deal. I can handle it.
Rose- We'll see. Have you decided what you're going to do?
Jo- About?
Rose- The baby.
Jo- *Sighs* Abortion's out. It's not the kid's fault.
Rose- Have you told anyone besides Jesse?
Jo- No.
Rose- I see. *Checks the time* Oh, god, I'm gonna be late for work! Where're my keys? *Looks around frantically for them*
Jo- Apparently no one can keep track-a keys in this house... *Looks around for hers and finds her mom's* Heads up. *Throws the keys to Rose*
Rose- *Catches them* Thanks, honey. I'll see you later on and please call if anything's wrong. *Leaves*
Jo- Ah, there ya are. *Finds her keys*

She gets to school, late as usual and goes to her locker getting out her books and notebook. She quickly walks into Mr. Jerome's room and looks around. Nobody's there.

Mr. Jerome- Can't you ever make it to class on time?

The voice startles her and she turns around quickly to see Mr. Jerome standing beside her.

Jo- Not that I really liked school anyway, but ya make it ten times harda' since I'm forced to look at ya.
Mr. Jerome- *Grins* Don't test me. Jo, you're playing a game you can't win.
Jo- Yeah, well, I didn't ask to play this little game of yours eitha'.
Mr. Jerome- Aww, well, now, that's just too bad isn't it? *Rolls eyes*
Jo- Whaddaya want from me?
Mr. Jerome- Well, what I want you've already given me. Not willingly, but still, I got it. *Smiles slyly*
Jo- Oh, yeah. Sooooo sorry I made rapin' me such a difficult task for ya.
Mr. Jerome- Hmm, well, now, aren't we a bit catty today...
Jo- Look, I just wanna get through the day like a normal teenager, alright. God. Ya know, and I know ya don't care, but I haven't really been feelin' so great these past few days.
Mr. Jerome- Being pregnant does that to you. *Devilish grin*

Hey eyes widen at this and she blinks quickly to try and fool him.

Jo- What? I'm not pregnant...
Mr. Jerome- Really? Then I guess you taking a pregnancy test and crying over nothing was just something to do, huh?
Jo- How did you...? *Thinks a minute* You sick SOB...!

He slaps her across the face.

Mr. Jerome- You know what happens when you talk like that. Now, maybe if I hit you enough times you'll learn to keep your mouth shut. *Runs his index finger in between her breasts*
Jo- *Knees him in the groin and runs out*
Mr. Jerome- *On the floor in pain* You little... *Groans from the pain he's feeling*

After gym class, which Jo missed most of, everyone goes back to their homerooms until the bell rings for lunch. Jo managed to convince Mr. Collins to let her stay in his room until then. He at first was hesistant until she told him everything that happened. As soon as he heard that he quickly agreed. While everyone's waiting for the lunch bell to ring he calls Jo and Eddie up to his desk.

Mr. Collins- Think you 2 could do a favor for me?
Eddie- Sure.
Jo- Yeah, what is it?
Mr. Collins- Could you guys take this up to the storage closet? I'd do it myself, but someone's gotta keep these people in line *Grins*
Eddie- *Laughs*
Jo- Betta' then doin' homework, I guess.
Mr. Collins- Ah, great. Thanks a lot. *Hands them some paper and reinforcements* If you don't make it back by the time the lunch bell rings, you can eat C instead of B, okay?
Jo- *Nods*
Eddie- No prob, Mr. Collins.

They walk up the flight of stairs to the storage closet and Jo puts the paper and reinforcements on the shelf. When she turns around she almost falls and Eddie catches her. They look into each other eyes for a minute. They start to kiss, getting deeper and more passionate as time flies by. Mr. Collins, who they didn't know was standing there, just smiles and knocks on the door frame.

Mr. Collins- Well, it look like I'm interrupting something.

They quickly break the kiss and Jo turns a crimson color.

Mr. Collins- *Laughs* Just wanted to make sure you got back alive.

Jo leaves the closet and Eddie and Mr. Collins just stand there for a second. Eddie just grins from ear to ear and walks out. Mr. Collins rolls his eyes, laughs and walks back with them.

***A Week Later***
It's Saturday and Jo's at home. She has her stereo up really loud and she's cleaning her room. The phone rings and it takes a while for her to hear it over the music. She turns down her stereo and answers the phone.

Jo- Hello?
Eddie- Is Jo there?
Jo- :rolleyes: Yeah...
Eddie- Well, uh, can I uh, speak to her, please?
Jo- I think ya already are...
Eddie- Jo? Ah, well, I'm embarrassed now!
Jo- *Smiles*
Eddie- Anyway, I was thinking...---
Jo- Oh, well, that's a nice change-a pace for ya. :D
Eddie- *Laughs* Hush, I'm serious.
Jo- Okay, okay. What were ya thinkin'?
Eddie- Well, ever since that kiss, I can't stop thinkin' about ya, Jo. I was wondering if maybe you'd like to, uh, hang out tonight, or somethin'. Ya busy?
Jo- Yeah.
Eddie- Oh...
Jo- *Grins* I'll be hangin' out with-a great guy.
Eddie- :D Ah, I guess I can't compare to him, huh?
Jo- Nah, sorry.
Eddie- *Laughs* No wonder I love ya.
Jo- :blush: I gotta go. I'll uh, I'll see ya tonight.
Eddie- 7:30 okay?
Jo- *Smiles* Yeah. Bye. *Hangs up*

She looks at the clock, not believing she's up early. It's around 10:30, so she finishes cleaning her room. That gets done at about 12:30. After she's done she gets some clothes out of her closet and takes a shower. After her shower, she puts on a pair of jordaches with holes in the knees and a white baby tee. She towel-dries her hair, teasing her bangs, and she pulls it up into a high ponytail. She turns off her radio and the phone rings.

Jo- Ah, well, not like I'm doin' anything anyhow. *Picks up* Hello?
Lisa- Hey!
Jo- Oh, hey, Lis. What's up?
Lisa- Nothin' much. Babysitting. Kill me. Kill me now.
Jo- :lol:
Lisa- Anyway, how are ya? Any better?
Jo- Well, I was just talkin' to myself a minute ago...
Lisa- Goin' nuts are ya?
Jo- ...Ya sound like a leprechaun, Lis...
Lisa- :lol: Yes, I know. Anyway, got anything planned tonight?
Jo- Eddie's comin' over...
Lisa- What? Oh, you go girl!
Jo- *Grins*
Lisa- Oh, hey, did ya find out what's causin' your, uh... problems?
Jo- Yeah... but uh... *Sighs* Might as well tell ya. I'm pregnant.
Lisa- Well, I know it's not Eddie's so... *Eyes widen* Please don't tell me ya had artificial insemination...! :eek:
Jo- *Slaps her hand to her forehead* Lis... I'm gunna say this in the nicest way possible... YA CAN'T BE THAT DENSE! It's Mr. Jerome's...!
Lisa- Ooh... oops. Sorry.
Jo- Jeez.
Lisa- Well, I'm sorry about that.
Jo- It's no problem. Actually, I've been kinda happy these past few days. He's been leavin' me alone and everything. Although I guess he wants to keep his family jewels in tact. *Grins*
Lisa- :rotflmao: OMG you didn't!!!
Jo- Umm, well... yeah...
Lisa- :lol: Well, I guess if that's what it takes...
Jo- Heh, well hey, listen, I gotta finish getting the house cleaned up for tonight. I'll talk to ya later, okay?
Lisa- Aiight, gurl. And hey, don't do anything I wouldn't do ;)
Jo- I'll keep that in mind. Bye. *Hangs up*

posting...! :cool:


The hours seem to pass pretty quickly and it's 7:20 by the time Jo looks at the clock. Knowing she has a few minutes before Eddie gets there, Jo lays down on the couch, drifting off into a deep sleep. Around 7:35, Eddie knocks on the door. After the second or third knock, Jo wakes up and answers the door.

Jo- *Smiles* Hi.
Eddie- Wow... I mean, uh, hi.
Jo- Sorry, I fell asleep...
Eddie- As long as you answer the door on the same night I show up, I consider it a victory. *Grins*
Jo- *Laughs a little* Thanks. Umm, ya wanna come in?
Eddie- Hmm, thought you'd never ask. *Smiles and walks in*


Jo shuts the door and they sit on the couch. She starts to get sharp pains in her stomach and ignore them, hoping they'll go away. Especially becase she didn't want Eddie to know she was pregnant. Of course the more she tries to ignore the stabbing pains, they only get worse.

Eddie- So, umm, thirsty?
Jo- What? Oh, uh, sure.
Eddie- Then sit back and relax. I'll get it *Walks into the kitchen*

As soon as he's gone, she gets up and goes into the bathroom, shutting the door. Eddie hears the door shut and loks around for a minute. Figuring she just went to the bathroom, he continues getting the drinks. He goes to carry them into the livingroom, but stops when he hears Jo in the bathroom, getting sick. He sets the drinks down and looks towards the door. The sounds continue and he walks over to the door and knocks.

Eddie- Jo? Hey, you okay?
Jo- *Coughs* Mhmm... *Gets sick again*
Eddie- Apparently not...

He sighs, getting her a cup of water and waits til the noises stop to bring it to her. He walks into the bathroom, handing her the water. She takes a few sips and sets the cup down on the floor.

Eddie- Are you okay now?
Jo- *Doesn't answer*
Eddie- Did you go to the doctor yet? Lisa told me you were having some... stomach problems.
Jo- *Still doesn't answer*
Eddie- Jo, answer me, baby.
Jo- *Quietly* ...No, I haven't gone...
Eddie- Well, you have to get this taken care of. I don't think it's normal. And before you say what I know you're going to, you should let a profesional tell you thats it's nothing. Why are you being so stubbourn about this?
Jo- *Looks down*
Eddie- Jo, please answer me. I care about you. Just go to the doctor and find out what's wrong.
Jo- *Mumbles something*
Eddie- What?
Jo- *Swallows and speaks quietly* I, uh, I obviously can't hide it from you anymore...
Eddie- Hide what, babe?
Jo- *Sighs, trying to bring up enough courage to tell him* ...I'm pregnant...
Eddie- *Doesn't say anything at first*
Jo- ...All the stomach pains, nausea and dizzy spells... I know what's causin' it...
Eddie- *Takes a deep breath* ...The rumors I heard... about Mr. Jerome...he---
Jo- *Nods*
Eddie- *Sighs*
Jo- *Puts her face in her hands and sobs * I'm sorry, I'm just, oh, god, I'm sorry. *Continues to cry*

Eddie helps her up and holds her in his arms

Eddie- Oh, Jo, it's not your fault. Don't even think that.

He continues holding her until she calms down enough.

***Monday Morning***

posting since ima kill my step bro's friends if they dont knock off the 'Rapunzel" & 'hott stuff" junk...!!! I'm tellin ya, somebody's gunna go thru a wall tonite...... anywayz. here's more:


Jo sleeps late, not realizing what day it is. She wakes up a little after 7:00 and looks around. Finally figuring out what day it was, she jumps up out of bed, showering and dressing as quickly as possible. She runs to school and as soon as she gets there the office calls her name.

Jo- Ugh, I just got here, I couldn't-a done nothin'already! *Walks back down to the office*
Secretary- You're supposed to be in the auditorium.
Jo- I slept late.
Secretary- I see. I won't talk to Mr. Morris about that, just go to the auditorium.

She nods and walks to the aud. She sits in the way back where no one usually sits. Being away from Mr. Jerome was also a plus.

sry so short but mom's makin me get off, post more tomorrow!!!

kie

Post more soon!

ok ima post more after I get ready for my Dr.'s Apptmnt. and then more when I get home.

wont take long!

kie

I love this fic hope you post more soon!!!

back! dr. said i have high blood pressure. 130 over 80

anyhow here's more: (and 2 regular readers, the end is nearing!)


Mr. Morris gets up on a small pedastool and taps the michrophone to make sure it's working.

Mr. Morris- Mr. Russo has just informed me, of yet another, spill in the Chemistry lab. Since these particular chemicals are eating away at the tiles on the floor and exploding various objects, all Chemistry classes are cancelled. Students should report to your study halls. Thank you.

Various murmers come from everyone and Mr. Morris walks off-stage and talks with the teachers. Everyone starts to leave and just as Jo's walking out, Mr. Jerome walks up to her and grabs her by the arm.

Mr. Jerome- Meet me here tonight, by 7, or believe me, you'll regret it.
Jo- Ya think I'm really gunna trust ya afta' all you've done to me?
Mr. Jerome- *Jerks her arm a little harder* I said, meet me here tonight, or that'll be the last time you breathe. *Lets her arm go roughly*

He walks back down towards where all the teachers are and Jo rubs her arm where he jerked it, a bruise now visible. She leaves the aud and walks down the hall. The day seems to pass by quicker for everyone, even the teachers, since Chemistry classes were cancelled. At the end of the day, everyone gets their stuff and goes home. Jo walks home with Eddie and gets to the apartment around a quarter til 6. She would have been there sooner had they not stopped halfway there and kissed for several minutes. She walks in, putting her keys on the table and going to her room to change her shirt, seeing as though it smelled like Eddie's cologne. She finds a white baby tee and a pair of light jeans with holes in the knees, quickly getting dressed. She checks all the locks before leaving and gets to the school around 7:05. She walks in through the front doors, surprised they're not locked and down the hall to Mr. Jerome's room. She gets pulled inside his classroom in such a quick motion, she doesn't have time to retaliate.

Mr. Jerome- You're late.
Jo- *Rolls eyes* Yeah, by 5 minutes.
Mr. Jerome- *Slaps her across the face* Don't take that tone with me.
Jo- *Holds where he slapped her for a minute* I'm outta here.

She goes to walk out the door, but he grabs her and throws her against a wall. Slapping her again, he throws her to the floor and starts hitting, kicking and punching her. One final blow to her lower stomach and she starts bleeding. Mr. Jerome sees this and kicks her over on her back, fleeing the classroom as quickly as possible. Meanwhile, Mr. Collins is in his room, contemplating on whether or not to check Mr. Jerome's room. Thinking he'd heard a noise, he walks down the hall into the room to see a dark figure laying in the middle of the floor. He tries to turn on the lights, but they won't work. He walks closer and sees who it is.

Mr. Collins- *Sighs* Not again...


He kneels down and notices she's bleeding. When he sees she's not awake, he calls Professor Ryan in, knowing he's working that night. Professor Ryan walks down the hall quickly and into the classroom.

Professor Ryan- Micheal, what's wrong?
Mr. Collins- Call an ambulance, something's happened to Jo. Actually, I already have a pretty good idea of what that "something" was.

Professor Ryan goes to the main office and calls the ambulance. The ambulance comes, 2 EMD's put Jo on a stretcher and they go to the hospital. Mr. Collins and Professor Ryan follow in Mr. Collins car and run up to the main desk as soon as they get there.

thats all u is gettin for now since im pretty close to the end!!! : P :p

kie

I just read this today and it is wonderful!!!! Please add more soon!!!!!:wave:

OMG!!! you gotta post more.

evil comp... AOL kickin meeeeh! 4th or 5th time I got kicked! I'm typin this on SimpleText (typing program on iMacs) to ensure my story's safety!

The doctor comes out while Mr. Collins and Professor Ryan are instructed to wait in the waiting room. Not too soon does he walk out, Rose and Eddie get there.

Doctor- Hmm, are you all here for a Joanna Marie? I can't pronounce the last name...
Rose- *Rolls her eyes* Is my daughter alright? How is she?
Doctor- Are you her mother?
Rose- Yes, is she going to be alright?
Doctor- Well, aside from her miscarriage, black eye, busted lip and vaginal tears...
Mr. Collins- *Eyes widen* Didn't need to know that last part, doc...
Doctor- Sorry. Anyway, she should be fine. We've sedated her so she can get some rest. She can go home tomorrow, depending on how she's feeling. We asked who the father was and she said she was raped. Either of you know anything about this?

They all nod.

Doctor- I see. Well, we can't do a rape kit since it happened a few weeks ago, but we did examine her. We'll need the father to come for a DNA test.
Eddie- If he's positive, he can be arrested, right?
Doctor- If he tests positive, then yes. All things aside, you can go see her. She's in room 419 in the Maternity Ward. She's aware of the miscarriage and the loss of the baby.

He walks down the hall and they all take an elevator up to the Maternity Ward. They get to the floor they need and walks to 419, knocking on the door. When they hear no reply, Rose slowly opens the door and peeks in. She sees Jo lying on the bed, asleep and quietly walks in, the others following. They sit down and talk quietly for a while and after about an hour, Jo wakes up. She looks around and tries to move, but makes groans, still sore. Eddie looks over from the chair he's sitting in and smiles.

Eddie- Hey, how ya feelin'?
Jo- Ugh, sore. *Sits up a little more*
Mr. Collins- Well, what'd you expect?
Jo- *Smiles a little*
Prof. Ryan- We heard you lost the baby.
Jo- Yeah, well, what can ya do, y'know?
Rose- *Smiles and sits on the edge of her bed* You always were the tough one... *Brushes some hair out of Jo's eyes*
Jo- *Smiles*

They all stay there, until visiting hours are over and everyone but Rose goes home.

I'll post more tomorrow... don't wanna take a chance on losin more than needed! Besides, I must drag out the story so it dont end too quick!!! : P thanks for all the replies and Jinny person... omg I LOVE ur avatar!!!! its so kute N funkyish! LOL

kie

Thanks. I like yours too!!! :D That was sad how she lost the baby. It was probably best though. I hope he gets arrested!!!! Write more soon. :happyface

POST MORE!!!!!!!!!!!! I have to start school tomorrow and i dont wanna go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, THEN what happens?

posting! working on SimpleText though cos I've learned THAT lesson! LOL, here ya go:

***Next Morning***
Jo wakes up around 10, still feeling a little sore. Rose smiles at her and sits on the edge of her bed.

Rose- Sleep well?
Jo- *Nods*
Rose- *Smiles* Well, look at it this way. When you're ready to have a baby, least least you'll know what to expect.
Jo- Ugh, yeah. Pain.
Rose- *Laughs* Right.

Eddie knocks on the door and Rose goes over to open it. He smiles when he sees Jo's awake and goes over, kissing her. She kisses back and Rose clears her throat loudly. They break the kiss instantly, Jo now a light crimson color. Mr. Collins and Professor Ryan come in not too long after Eddie.

Mr. Collins- Hey. How's the patient?
Jo- *Laughs* Still a little sore. Ain't ya guys supposed to be at school?
Prof. Ryan- Well, there was a teacher's meeting today, so we were able to sneak out.
Jo- Ah.

A nurse comes in with a bottle of pills and a clipboard.

Jo- Oh, hey, Nance.
Nurse- *Smiles* Hi, Jo. Feeling better?
Jo- Yeah, sore though.
Nurse- *Laughs* Ah, yes. The dreaded soreness. Well, considering you weren't that far along, at least you won't get stretch marks.
Jo- *Gives her a strange look* Thanks... I think. Can I go home yet?
Nurse- Almost. You need to sign yourself out and take one of these about every 8 hours. *Hands her the pills*
Jo- *Takes them* What're these?
Nurse- They'll help reduce any pain, nausea or dizzyness you may still get. You lost a lot of blood and we don't want to take any chances.

Jo- Okay.

Nurse- All you need to do now is sign yourself out. Your mom also needs to sign this since you're still a minor.

Jo signs the sheet and so does Rose. Nance takes the clipboard and leaves the room. Jo smiles at everybody and sits up a little more.

Jo- I appreciate this, everybody, but, uh, everyone who's not a blood relative, get out.
Eddie- *Laughs a little*
Mr. Collins- Ah, yes. We're goin', we're goin. Come, William.
Prof. Ryan- Am I a dog now...?

They all leave and Jo's mom shuts the door and locks it. Jo looks at her questioningly.

Rose- You never know...

Jo gets out of bed slowly and walks over to her bag of clothes. She finds a red baby tee, red hair clip, socks, her black boots and smiles at her mom for the last article of clothing. A pair of her worn in Jordaches with tons of holes in them. Her favorite pair.

Rose- *Sighs* You know I don't like those jeans, but...
Jo- *Laughs a little* Thanks.

She gets dressed, somewhat quickly, and sits down on the bed again. Eddie knocks on the door in time to the tune of "Two of Hearts" by Stacey Q.

Rose- *Laughs and opens the door*
Eddie- Hey, don't underestimate the power of a timed knock.
Mr. Collins- "Underestimate", hmm, big word for somebody who spelled "scissors" wrong.
Eddie- In my defense, I was up 'til 12 AM that morning!
Jo- *Laughs*

Eddie goes over to her and kisses her again, Jo kissing back. Rose, again, clears her throat loudly. Eddie and Jo break the kiss and Eddie glares in her mother's direction.

Eddie- You enjoyed that, didn't ya?
Rose- *Says her response like Jo would* Yeah... *Smiles widely*
Jo- *Shakes her head* And to think... this is my motha'...
Rose- Joanna Marie...!
Jo- Oh, god, the full name...
Prof. Ryan- *Laughs*
Mr. Collins- So when can ya get outta here?
Jo- Wheneva' you guys are ready.
ALL- WE'RE READY!
Jo- *Eyes widen, taken aback by this* Jeez, okay! *Hops off the bed* Eeh... knew I was gunna regret that...
Eddie- Well, there's always the option of...--- *Jo cuts him off*
Jo- Eddie, I love ya and all, but if ya carry me out, I'm gunna hafta break ya knees. :D
Eddie- *Eyes widen* I see. Well, considering I've grown accustomed to walkin'...
Mr. Collins- *Laughs*

***Next Day***
Jo wakes up early, hoping to get out the door before her mom's up. She puts on a dark gray t-shirt and a pair of light jeans. She walks out of her room quietly, smiling, not seeing her mom anywhere in sight. Just as she's about to walk out the door...

Rose- Freeze.

Jo freezes.

Rose- Turn.

Jo turns to face Rose.

Rose- Explain.

Jo- I'm feelin' fine, ma, and uh, I haven't been dizzy or sick or nothin' and I need to get back to school to talk to Mr. Jerome about that test.

Rose- *Sighs* Fine, but make sure you call if ANYTHING is wrong. You may think you're feeling better but you're not.

Jo- :confused: Uh, right. Bye ma!

She walks out the door quickly, before Rose can change her mind.
---------------------------------------
thaz all ya be gettin' from dis chica! LOL, no kidden. I'll post more lata on. Kewl 2 know ppl actually like what I've written! After this, I'm either gunna write anotha drama or a romance. Any ideas? I was thinkin' maybe Jo N George romance.....? Hmm, could be!!! LOL if ya got N-E suggestions, lemme kno!

kie

Best to go with what you feel comfortable writing about, your stories rock!:)

Workin on another story as we speak...

:read:

LOL thanks Lizzie! So do ur MSW ones! Actually, I'm writing a Jo/George romance right now. I can't wait to post it! I'm havin a little trouble with the title though. Ah well, I figured this one out at the last minute, so I'll probably figure out the other one Soon as I saw "Starr" I'm like, HEY! That's Boots! LOL.
Enjoy the conclusion of the dramatic fan fiction "Subjects of Silence" :

She gets to school, not really wanting to talk to Mr. Jerome and goes to class. She's surprised to find him there and thinks how hard it's going to be to face him. Most victims didn't have to face their attackers or rapists, but she did. She takes a deep breath and just tries to make it through the days. Or at least until he tested positive. Instead of talking to him, she writes him a note and sets it on his desk, explaining everything. At least this way, he couldn't hurt her. Mr. Collins and Professor Ryan did all they could to keep her away from him, not believing he'd have enough nerve to even come back to school after what he'd done to her.

***A Week After the DNA Testing***
Mr. Jerome's in his homeroom teaching something about the French Revolution. Mr. Morris had found out about Mr. Collins and Professor Ryan sneaking Jo into their classes and wasn't too pleased. He immediately ordered that she put back in Mr. Jerome's homeroom, as well as any other classes she had with him. There's a knock at the door and Mr. Jerome answers it. Two policemen place a pair of handcuffs on his wrists. Various whispers and murmers come from the students.

Policeman 1- Matthew Jerome, you are under arrest for the rape and sexual assult of Joanna Marie Polniaczek. Along with similar counts with other female students.
Policeman 2- You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you can not afford one, one will be provided for you.

They lead him out the door and the whole classroom erupts in a torrent of cheers.

******************10 Years Later*********************
Jesse and Scott are living together in the Bronx, in an apartment. They invited everyone over for a Halloween party, with intention of surprising a few people. Eddie's standing around talking to the guys.

Eddie- So what do you think?
Scott- Go for it. I'll go tell Jesse.

Scott goes to find his girlfriend, who smiles when he tells her his news. She tells Lisa and Karen, who run off to find Jo, hoping she showed up. They finally find her in a corner of the room, talking to their old Algebra teacher, Mr. Collins.

Mr. Collins- *Laughs* I should have known...
Jo- *Grins* Well, hey! Who said Dr. Jekyll was original?
Mr. Collins- Yes, yes, I know. I still can't believe this. I actually miss you around school!
Jo- *Laughs*

Lisa and Karen walk over, pulling Jo away from Mr. Collins.

Jo- Karen! Lis! Let go of me! What the...?

She stops speaking instantly.

Jo- Eddie... *Smiles*
Eddie- *Grins* I'm back, baby.
Jo- *Tear rolls down her cheek* I've really missed you...

Eddie smiles and gets down on one knee.

Eddie- All my life, of any girl I've ever met, they'd never even come close to you. Joanna Marie Polniaczek, will you marry me?

He gets off his knees and she walks over, giving him a long, passionate kiss. Breaking the kiss, she smiles at him.

Jo- Yes.

:music: Stacey Q's "Two of Hearts" plays :music:

Eddie- *Grins*

They kiss again. :love: Loud claps and cheers fill the room :clap

THE END

:clap: :clap: That was an AWSOME fan fic!!!

__________________________________________
It's a few years after the Halloween Party. Jo and Eddie are married, by this time, with no children and Eddie has become a lawyer. He's away on business. They bought an apartment, still living in the Bronx, close to their friends, Jesse and Scott. Scott worked at a local deli as a box boy, while Jesse did things like catering and design work. Karen is un-employed and has a 7 month old daughter named Brita while Lisa owned an up-town restaurant, the Encore. The only up-scale restaraunt in Bronx. Jo's mom quit her job as a cocktail waitress and now worked as a secretary in a small business. Charlie married a woman named Carol who has a daughter, Emma who's 14 and a son named Bryan, who's 6. Jo goes to visit them all whenever she can at their apartment in Brooklyn. Jo was a social worker for a while, but after the shelter she worked at went broke, Lisa offered her a waitressing job, which she took. Lisa had bought the broken-down business after college and it had been making tons of money ever since. Tommy, Karen's boyfriend and the father of her child, struck a record deal after he got out of high school. He currently sings lead and plays guitar for the band, Strait Up. Carson, on the other hand, studied hard in college and became a lawyer himself. In fact, he went away on business with Eddie.

MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

here'z more by popular demand! LOL

Story takes place on a Friday night. Jo is working that night. Charlie, his wife and her two kids decide to celebrate a certain event and go to the Encore for it. Not knowing Jo's working that night, they get seated and get a surprise when she walks over in her waitress' uniform.

Bryan- *Smiles* Jo!
Jo- Oh, wow. I didn't know you guys were here tonight. Hey, buddy! How are ya?
Bryan- *Smiles and blushes* I'm fine. Emily passed her Ageebra test!
Jo- *Smiles at him and talks through her teeth to her dad* Her what...?
Charlie- *Laughs* That big algebra test she was crammin' for earlier this week? Well, she got an A+ on it.
Jo- Ohhh! Well, hey, congrats, Em!
Emily- *Smiles and blows on her fingernails slyly* All in a day's work. Had that teacha' sneezin' outta the ears!
Jo- *Laughs*
Charlie- Emily Jane...
Emily- UGH! The FULL name...!
Jo- *Grins and bends down a lil and wihspers to her* Don't worry, I don't like my full name either.
Emily- *Smiles*
Charlie- What? Joanna Marie is a great name!
Jo- *Laughs* Oh yeah, just the name I want while I'm tryin' to survive in the Bornx. Perfect choice, Pop. *Grins*
Charlie- Just for that, we're not leavin' you a tip!
Jo- *Laughs*

We fade into later that night. Jo comes home to an empty apartment and sets her keys on the table. She lays on the couch, still in her uniform and the phone rings. Jo lets it ring a few times before answering.

Jo- Hello?
Eddie- Hey, baby. What are you doin' up so late?
Jo- Ah, just got home from work and contemplating on whether or not I should keep my job.
Eddie- Keep it!
Jo- *Laughs a little* Why?
Eddie- Well, it's just that you look so sexy in that tight little uniform you gotta wear... *Grins*
Jo- *Grins* I miss you.
Eddie- *Smiles* I miss ya too, babe.
Jo- When are ya comin' home?
Eddie- Well, Carson just told me the judge and the rest of the jury made their decisions a minute ago.
Jo- And that means....?
Eddie- If he dismisses the case, I'll be packin' tonight and leavin' first thing in the morning.
Jo- *Smiles* In that case, I can't wait to see you.
Eddie- Although...the first thing we need to do when I get home, is uh *Clicks tounge and grins*
Jo- *Grins* Mmm, sounds tempting.
Eddie- *Smiles* I gotta go. Love ya, baby. *Hangs up*

Jo sighs, hanging up the phone. After watching a little TV and going through the mail, she goes to bed.

Karen- Why do you ask?
Jo- I was thinkin' about comin' up to see you guys. I haven't seen Brita since since your ultra-sound.
Karen- *Laughs* We'd love that. Can ya come up around noon? I have to go grocery shoppin' before we starve. *Grins*
Jo- Heh, yeah.
Karen- Alright, see ya then.
Jo- Okay, bye.
Brita- Beebee dadada beelop
Jo- *Laughs* Bye Brita.
Karen- *Smiles and hangs up*

Jo hangs up and gets showered. By the time she gets dressed and everything, its almost noon. She gets in her car and drives to Karen's apartment. Karen lived a little farther away than she had when they were kids, but she still remained in the Bronx. Jo gets to her place and gets out, locking her car doors. She gets out and walks up, ringing the doorbell.

We fast forward to later that night. Jo's still there and its around a quarter til 7. She looks at the clock.

Jo- Oops...
Karen- What?
Jo- I think I'm supposed to be at work...
Brita- Googoo
Jo- *Smiles and looks at Karen* Can I use your phone?
Karen- Provided it's charged, yeah. *Finds it and hands it to her*
Jo- Thanks. *Calls the Encore*
Lisa- *Picks up the phone* Hello?
Jo- Hey, Lis, I'm gonna be a little late.
Lisa- How late?
Jo- Umm, a couple minutes or so. I'm at Karen's.
Lisa- Oh, how is she?
Jo- Fine. We're playing with Brita.
Brita- Beebee!
Lisa- Aww! Now I want one!
Jo- *Grins, rolling her eyes*

Karen hears her and laughs.

Lisa- Anyhow, sure. I'll have your name tag ready for ya. Want me to set out that extra uniform for ya? You could change in the bathroom?
Jo- Oh, Lis, that'd be great. See ya in a little bit. Thanks! Bye.
Lisa- Bye.

They hang up and Jo says her goodbyes to Karen and Brita. She leaves a smart-@$$ note for Tommy and Karen laughs. She leaves and gets to work.

That's all we ask b/c this was a team effort and actually we had a lotta fun makin it!
Aiite, ppl, get ready ...here'z more!:

She gets to work a couple minutes later, finds the extra uniform Lisa left her and changes into it in the bathroom. She pins her name tag to the top and walks back out. She finds out what tables she has to wait on and starts taking orders. An older-looking guy and a young skinny blonde, skimpily dressed, walks in and gets seated by a girl named Rochelle, who runs the front of the restaurant and seats people. The guy and his date sit down and wait for their waitress. Jo comes to their table and recognizes something about him. She's not sure what it is, so she just ignores it and starts to tell them the specials.

Jo: Would you like something to drink?
Candee: A bottle of your best champagne. (Smiles)
Jo-:Uh huh. (Writes it down) I'll be back in a minute.

She brings back the champagne and gets out the little notepad to take their order. Candee orders and the guy orders after her. As he was telling her his order, he notices something. She looked

Guy: Do I know you from somewhere?
Jo: No, I don't think so.
Guy: Alright. I'm sorry. (Looks at her name tag)

Jo sees him staring at her name tag, which is by her breast and takes a defensive state.

Jo- Sir, my eyes are up here. Those don't talk back.
Guy- So they are...
Jo- *Rolls her eyes* Are you finished ordering?

The guy looks at her once more, not sure if it's who he thinks it is or not and decides to discard the issue.

Guy- Anything else, baby?
Candee- Not until later... *Grins and giggles*

Jo rolls her eyes again and mumbles something under her breath.

Candee- What?
Jo- Your order will be out soon.

She leaves the table going into the kitchen. She comes back out 20 minutes later and gives them their order.

Jo: Here's your Veal and your Chicken Breasts.
Guy: Thanks. These breasts look real good.

Jo, very offended, just leaves. After they have eaten, Jo brings them the check.

Jo: The total comes $57.75. You can pay at the front. (Leaves their table and goes into the kitchen)
Guy: You go wait in the car. I'll pay.
Candee: Don't be long.
Guy: I won't.

He goes to the front to pay.

Guy: I have a tip for the waitress that served us. May I see her?
Cashier: Sure. I'll get her.

Jo comes back out of the kitchen and the cashier, Eric, stops her.

Eric- Some guy wants to tip ya.
Jo- Who is it?
Eric- *Shrugs* No idea. Want me to take those to the customer for ya?
Jo- Oh, yeah, sure. Table 7. *Smiles at him*
Eric- *Blushes and takes the food to Table 7*

She walks over to the front of the restaraunt and is ready to turn around as soon as she sees who it is. She doesn't really wanna talk to the guy again, but she has no choice but to go over there.

Jo: Eric said you wanted me?
Mr. Jerome: Do you think I'm stupid?
Jo: What do you mean?
Guy: I know who you are and you know who I am. I'm the teacher who knocked you up when you were in my class.

She looks him straight in the eye.

Jo- Sir, I think you need to leave.

She starts to walk away and he grabs her by the wrist.

Mr. Jerome- Joanna Marie Polniaczek... hmm, sexier now than before, I'll give you that. *Grins*
Jo- Let go of me or I'm callin' security.
Mr. Jerome- I don't think you want to do that.
Jo- Oh, yeah? Why not? *Pulls her arm away from him roughly*
Mr. Jerome: Because I had fun with you last time regardless.
Jo: Leave now.
Mr. Jerome: Oh, come on. You know you want me as much as I want you.
Jo- Why would I want someone who nauseates me?
Mr. Jerome: Still got that mouth I see. I find that sexy.
Jo- I could care less what ya find sexy, let go of me.
Mr. Jerome- C'mon, baby. You're probably more experienced now... *Grins*
Jo- Amazing.
Mr. Jerome- What?
Jo- After all these years, ya still manage to make me sick. I'm leavin'.
Mr. Jerome- Don't make me be more drastic than I have to.
Jo- First of all, even when you were sober, I didn't find you appealing and the fact you were my teacher didn't help neitha'. And I'm callin' the manager if you don't leave. Your slut is waitin' for ya in the car anyway.
Mr. Jerome: She's not a slut. As a matter of fact, she's one of my students.
Jo: What? You're still teaching?
Mr. Jerome: Yep. But she knows how to keep her mouth shut, so she keeps me satisfied.
Jo: You sick ba---
Mr. Jerome: I wouldn't if I were you. You'll only get yourself in more trouble. And pain.
Jo: Security!
Mr. Jerome: I'm going. But let me tell you this. It's not for good. You can bet your life on it. I will see you again.

He leaves and Jo shudders.

***Next Day***
Jo sleeps on and off during the day, tired from last night. Though, the fact she'd been having flashback dreams all night, didn't help. She keeps thinking about what Mr. Jerome said, wishing someone had heard it, other than her. She decides to take a trip down to the school and visit Professor Ryan. She showers, gets dressed and drives down to her old school. She walks into the main office and is surprised to see the same secretary as before.

Jo- Mrs. Hart?
Mrs. Hart- Yes?
Jo- Wow, I didn't expect to see you here!
Mrs. Hart- ...Jo?
Jo- Yeah...?
Mrs. Hart- Oh my! *Gets up from her chair and walks over* It's been so long! You look great! Very different.
Jo- *Smiles* You too.
Mrs. Hart- Hmm, well-spoken too. VERY different.
Jo- *Laughs a little*
Mrs. Hart: So, what brings you back here? You're not in trouble AGAIN are you?
Jo: (Laughs) No, I'm here to see Professor Ryan.
Mrs. Hart: Any particular reason?
Jo: (Gives her a look)
Mrs. Hart: I see. Ok, he's in his office. You know the way.
Jo: Yeah, all too well, I'm afraid!
Mrs. Hart: (Laughs)

Jo goes into Professor Ryan's office.

P.R.: May I help you?
Jo: It's me... Jo...? Name ring a bell...?
P.R.: Oh, my God, it is! How are you, Jo?
Jo: Not too well, actually.
Prof. Ryan- Why? What's wrong?
Jo- It's... *Sighs*
Prof. Ryan- Yes...?
Jo- It's like highschool all over again.
Prof. Ryan- What do you mean?
Jo- Mr. Jerome... he's uh... outta jail.
Prof. Ryan- What? Oh, my god.
Jo- Yeah, he showed up at the Encore last night. I work as a waitress there. Anyway, he showed up with some little, sleazy lookin' blonde who's actually one of his students...--- *Gets cut off*
P.R.: So, he is doing the same thing to another student that he did to you?
Jo: Yes.
P.R.: Do you know who she is or what school she goes to?
Jo: All I know is that he called her Candee.
P.R.: I'm sorry Jo, but that really doesn't help much.
Jo: I know, but that's all I got.
P.R.: I think you should go to the police.
Jo: Will they do anything?
P.R.: If he has a past record of raping a minor, you have a good chance.
Jo: I'll try. Thanks.
Prof. Ryan- Always glad to help a former student of mine. Before you go though, I heard Eddie proposed. *Smiles widely*
Jo- *Blushes, smiles and nods*
Prof. Ryan- Wonderful! I knew you two would be together?
Jo- *Laughs, to get rid of her blushing* And how did ya know that?
Prof. Ryan- You were both naturals at "Romeo & Juliet".
Jo- We were acting...
Prof. Ryan- *Smiles* Call it what you like, I still say it played a part in this.
Jo- Ugh, Okay, I'm leavin' now.
Prof. Ryan- *Laughs* Alright. Bye Jo. Let me know what happens
Jo- I will. See ya, Prof. Ryan.

She leaves and walks to her car. Little does she know, someone's watching her. She gets in her car and drives to the police station. Mr. Jerome sees her head in that direction and quickly gets in his own car. He takes a short cut and ends up getting there before Jo does. He goes to the main desk and waits for someone to talk to.

Officer Exstead: How can I help you?
Mr. Jerome: I would like to report a stalking. My name is Matthew Jerome and a woman named Jo Polniaczek is stalking me.
Officer Exstead: Alright. I'll go get the cheif and you can talk to him.
Mr. Jerome- Thank you.

The officer comes back a few minutes later with the cheif.

Cheif Blumenthal- You wanted to report a stalking, correct?
Mr. Jerome- Right.
Cheif- Name?
Mr. Jerome- Matthew Jerome.
Cheif- Do you know the name of the woman stalking you?
Mr. Jerome- Yes. Jo Polniaczek.

The cheif writes all this down and puts the paper on the desk.

Cheif- Alright. We'll keep an eye out.
Mr. Jerome- Thanks.

He leaves, smiling to himself evily. Jo gets to the police station and walks in, going to the m ain desk.

Jo: Hello. My name is Jo Polniaczek. I would like to speak with someone about a man named Matthew Jerome.
Officer Exstead: Let me go get the cheif. I think he will want to speak with you directly.
Jo-Why?
Officer Exstead: Let the cheif talk to you.
Jo: (Thinks to herself: Hmm...I wonder why he wants to see me personally?)
Cheif: Jo Polniaczek?
Jo: Yes?
Cheif: Come with me, please.
Jo: (Follows)
Cheif: A Matthew Jerome was in to see me earlier and said you are stalking him.
Jo: What?! How can that be?
Cheif- Lady, I'm just goin' by what he told me.
Jo- Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but he's lyin'.
Cheif- What do you mean?
Jo- *Sighs* Okay, look. Don't ya got some record of a minor that was raped in 83, by a teacher at a local highschool?
Cheif- The case sounds familiar. Hold that thought.

He goes to check some case files and comes back not too long after.

Cheif- Sorry. There's no record of that case.
Jo- WHAT? He used to be in prison! How could---
Cheif- I'm sorry, but you'll have to leave it at that. Now look, I can ignore his complaint, since we have no record of anything, but if this happens again, I don't think I can help you out.
Jo- Fine. Thanks.

She leaves the station angrily, slamming the door to her car and driving home.
Jo drove home thinking to herself. How could he do this? How could the police believe Mr. Jerome? When she got home, her door was open.

Jo: I thought Eddie wasn't home...? (Opens the door)

When she got in the door, someone was there.

Jo: What the 1-1311 are you doing in my house?
Mr. Jerome: I thought I told you not to go to the police.
Jo: I had to. You are going to rape another girl.
Mr. Jerome: I never said that.
Jo: Yes, you did.
Mr. Jerome: Prove it. (Laughs evily)
Jo: How can you do this??
Mr. Jerome: Very easily.
Jo- *Rolls her eyes* How nice for you. Now, get out.

Mr. Jerome takes out a knife and strokes the less sharp side of it gently.

Mr. Jerome- You know, I never did get my revenge. And, just my luck, there's nobody here to protect you this time.

Jo- *Glares* I'm not 17 years old anymore, ya don't scare me.
Mr. Jerome- Oh no?

He grabs her and presses the knife to her throat lightly.

Mr. Jerome- Did this position feel familiar?
Jo- Please, don't...
Mr. Jerome- *Happens to glance over at a picture* Married Eddie I see. Hmm, well, wouldn't it be just a nice surprise if he came home and found his wife dead? *Grins*
Jo: Why are you doing this to me?
Mr. Jerome: Because I can. (Slaps her across the face knocking her to the floor) Now, you listen good. If you say anything to the cops, you will not have a husband.
Jo: You touch him and I'll kill you.

He slaps her again.

Mr. Jerome: I think it will be the other way around. I'll kill you. Now, I will be around. Count on it. I will be everywhere you go. So, I would take caution. Especially, when you are with your husband...

With that, he leaves the apartment, leaving Jo on the floor.

------------
So ya like it jus as much when we both write it? Hope so! Anyhow, she had 2 go 4 a lil bit N we're meetin back here at nine so you mite get s'more then okay? Byeeeee!!!

This is great!!!!!

i agree, it's awesome! you guys both rock ;) post more soon!

: )
p.s.- neitha me or Kelly will really be home tomorrow so its doubtful ull get more then but we'll jus see what happenz

About 10 minutes after Mr. Jerome left, Eddie came into the house and Jo was still on the floor.

Eddie: Jo, are you alright?? What happend?
Jo: Mr. Jerome was here.
Eddie: Mr. Jerome?? From high school??
Jo: That's him.
Eddie: Are you okay?
Jo: I'm fine. Just sore.
Eddie: I'm calling the police.
Jo: NO! Don't.
Eddie: Why? You were attacked.
Jo: don't want him to kill me or you. He probably will if I go to the police. I don't want to put you in danger.
Eddie: (Sighs) You're sure you are alright?
Jo: Yes, I just want to go take a nap.
Eddie: Okay. If you're sure.
Jo: I'm sure. I love you for being so caring.
Eddie: I love you too.

Jo smiles and goes into their bedroom. She lays down on the bed quickly falling asleep. A while later, she's tossing and turning furiously, like she used to do at night when she was younger. Eddie comes in, hearing her making noises like she was in trouble and her tries shaking her awake.

Eddie- Jo? Jo? Hey, c'mon, baby, wake up. *Keeps shaking her until she wakes up*

She awakens, quickly jerking up, forcing herself out of sleep and looks around.

Eddie- Hey, you okay now?
Jo- Yeah. I kept havin' those nightmares. ...The same ones I had when I was younger. Oh, god, I can't go through this. again. *Puts her head in her hands*

Eddie holds her close and just rocks her gently back and forth for awhile until she soon falls back asleep.

***Next Morning***
The next morning, Jo was kind of dizzy. She hardly slept all night. She had those dreams all night long. Eddie tried to help her but no one could. Mr. Jerome was running her life. She went to the police station because of what he did the day before. Jo had a strange feeling. Like someone was following her. And then in her car, a hand was put across her mouth.

guyz i got ViP access! =oP lemme tell yaz these two work great and this is a great fan fic! i love it a lot so0o both of yaz keep up the great work and i cant wait for more!

WHAT!?!?! You can't stop there. You guys are both awesome. Can't wait to read more. Post More soon

omg...who said you can have too much of a great thing? You're both excellent! Can't wait for more.

Mr. Jerome: (Grins) I told you to take caution.
Jo: How did you get in my car?
Mr. Jerome: I have my ways. Why did you tell your husband what happened?
Jo: Because he was worried about me.
Mr. Jerome: Well, no matter. I'll just make sure he doesn't tell anyone, by killing him.
Jo: You touch him and I swear to God, you'll regret it.
Mr. Jerome: Oh, I don't think so. (Pulls out a knife)

He pulls her back, pressing the knife to her throat.

Mr. Jerome- Now will I regret it?

Jo doesn't answer him.

Mr. Jerome- *Presses the knife against her throat harder* Will I?
Jo- *Quietly* No.
Mr. Jerome- Good.

He puts the knife back in his pocket and slips his hand up her shirt. She tries to get him to stop it, but he slaps her across the face. When he's satisfied enough from feeling her up, he gets out of her car and into his own. He drives in the direction of the Encore, but Jo doesn't notice. She just thinks to herself 'Calm down. Just go to work and have a good day.' So, she goes to work and gets into her uniform and starts working. Then Eric comes up to her.

Eric: This guy needs to be waited on and he wants you to serve him.
Jo: Who is it?
Eric: The same guy who wanted to tip you the other night.
Jo: Can't you take it?
Eric: He said if he didn't get you he would have me fired. You have to do it.
Jo: (Sighs) Alright.

Jo walks over to Mr. Jeromes table and he just grins.

Jo- Ya just can't leave my life as it is, can ya?

He ignores what she's saying and looks her over, still grinning. Jo makes a disgusted face and shudders. Mr. Jerome, on the other hand, just grins.

Mr. Jerome- So, still hung up on that jerk?
Jo- He's not a jerk and secondly, that's none of your business.
Mr. Jerome: You either serve me, or I'll have you fired.
Jo: You wouldn't dare...
Mr. Jerome- Try me.
Jo- *Sighs* Fine. What do ya want?
Mr. Jerome- You.
Jo- *Rolls eyes* Sorry, I'm not on the menu.
Mr. Jerome- Well, you asked and I told you. Meet me in the alley behind the restaurant at 7 tonight.
Jo- *Thinks :Yeah right...!* *Outloud* And if I don't?

Mr. Jerome gets up close to her and grins.

Mr. Jerome- If you dont... then you don't wanna know.

He leaves, and Jo thinks about what he said for a minute, then continues to take orders.


I edited b/c some of the ideas that were in here we too racy for my taste and straying away from the point of what I want the story to be. Besides, BlairWarner 02 is right, we should keep it at least PG-13

wow..that was...just...great. ooooooh...how's Jo gonna handle this one?

yawh this izh awesome!!!! post more asap.

Does anybody think we're goin over the top wit the diologue? I mean, cos yeah, it is ... perverted N disgusting but I think in a lot of real-life cases, its probably worse "diologue" than any of us could ever come up with in our fan fictions. I'm just curious, on a personal note, of what u all think. Lemme know ur thoughts b/c it'd help a lot so we know what not to do or what to do.

kie

OK sry i posted on my mom's name before. . . .


Anyway nah i don't think your going over the top... i have read much much worse and i think it's a lot more calmer than it really would be in a lot of cases like this..... soo i don't think you should change anything about the story

Since Kelly aint on right now, I'm postin myself : )

***7:00 that night***
Jo's sitting on the couch, with a book in her lap and quiet music on. Eddie comes in, smiling at her.
Jo looks up, quickly taking off her reading glasses. Eddie grins, walking over. He starts kissing her neck and she smiles, forgetting about everything.

Jo- *Laughs a little* Eddie, I'm trying to read...

Eddie smiles, putting the book on the table and continues kissing her. "Hungry Eyes" by Eric Carmen plays on the radio. She kisses back and they cuddle on the couch for the rest of the night. Mr. Jerome watches them angrily, and walks to his car soaking wet and drives home. He digs into an old trunk and pulls out a little device that's about the size of a pencil lead. He grins and turns out the light.

***Next Morning***
Eddie wakes up first, holding Jo in his arms and a few minutes later she wakes up, sees what time it is and starts to get up, but he pulls her back down.

Eddie- No.
Jo- Eh, Eddie, I gotta get ready for work.
Eddie- Oh, c'mon, babe, can't ya stay home today?
Jo- *Sighs*
Eddie- *Holds her closers* Please? *Kisses her neck*
Jo- *Grins* I might need a little more convincing...

Eddie continues to kiss her neck, moving occasionally to her lips.

Jo- Mmm, I guess I could call Lisa... I'm sure she'd undastand...
Eddie- She better... I did that girl's Spanish homework for 'er!
Jo- *Laughs* Lemme get the phone. *Gets up*

Eddie pulls her back down.

Jo- Whoa! Eh, I need the phone at least...

He gets her the cordless and smiles, sitting back down, cuddling her. Jo smiles and calls Lisa.

Lisa- *Picks up* The Encore, Lisa speaking, how may I help you?
Jo- Hey Lis, could I uh, have the day off?
Lisa- Why? I mean, I guess so, but---?

Eddie starts kissing her again and she grins.

Jo- It's um... *Laughing* Eddie, c'mon, I'm on the phone.
Lisa- Oh, my lord, I do not want to know!!! Take the day off!
Jo- *Laughs* You sure?
Lisa- Oh yes! Please!
Jo- Alright, thanks Lis.
Lisa- Uh huh, bye!!!!! *Hangs up quickly, shuddering*

Jo hangs up and her and Eddie go into their bedroom.

...Ur gunna hafta use ur imaginations 4 dat part! : P

Figured u could use a lil romance since alla this. Im not sure how long this'll all last but Ive been talkin to BlairWarner02 (as I said in a previous post) N Im hopefully changin a lot of the stuff thats goin on. He won't be pullin a knife out on her anymore, b/c she'z right, its too repetitive. Or raping her. Also becomin' repetitive. N she'z gunna be that tough chick from the Bronx she alwayz was. I just wanted everyone to see that she still has/had a vulnerable side. N now we'll soon get to see the side of her we all know N luv. : )

kie

very cool.:cool:

I don't like how all this is goin. I asked TJ if he could delete the post after the first SOS.

If ya enjoyed readin this one, sorry but I just don't believe in it anymore. It's repetitive, confusin N just not me.

I don't like how all this is goin. I asked TJ if he could delete the post after the first SOS.

If ya enjoyed readin this one, sorry but I just don't believe in it anymore. It's repetitive, confusin N just not me.
