The Value of Love

[EwansGirl]

this is just the first paragraph... i want to see if anyone wants to read it... i know some people may have already seen this fic at fanfiction.net, but i want to post all of it here because no one goes there very much. and a note to the other ewan lovers. i had him in mind when i wrote the character of Rick. just tell me whatcha think


When Rick got a job at the Division, he was just trying to feed himself and pay doctor bills until he went into the hospital for the last time. But an attraction brought him to Jinny and he decided to risk it.
The first time he asked her out, he was turned down. Not that he really cared. It was going to end soon anyway. Still, something told him to try again.

[EwansGirl]

YAY!! PPL ARE INTRESTED!!! hehe.. ok im done. here's more of my actual story!


Jinny looked up at him and sighed. “Back again I see.”
He grinned at her enthusiasm and knelt on the floor. “Yup. I got tickets to a ballet so I was hoping you had a good suicide method.”
Jinny looked at him and grinned a little. “Go to the ballet. That’ll bore you to death.”
Laughing, he took the tickets out of his pocket and ripped them in half. “I’d rather not die before I need to. So, are you busy tonight?”
She thought for a second. “No, but I could change that if you are going to ask me out again.”
He laughed a little bit and knelt closer whispering in her ear. “Pwity pweeze? I’m a nice guy I pwomise.”
Jinny laughed a little bit, then got serious. “That’s the problem.”
Rick grinned. “Then I’m a mean guy. Whatever you want I’ll be just go out with me.”
She smiled. “Fine I’ll go out with you.”
He grinned. “Dinner or a movie?”
She looked up into his blue-green eyes. “I was thinking that you’d walk me to my car.”
He was surprised at this. “That’s it?”
She grinned. “Well, what did you expect?”
“Maybe an actual date?”
Jinny stopped grinning. “Fine.”
He smiled.
“Walk me home then.”
He stopped smiling and shook his head. “That’s not a date.”
Jinny grinned. “It is to me.”
Giving up he looked her in the eye. “Fine. But for the second date can I walk you around the park first?”
Laughing, Jinny shook her head. “How about dinner instead?”
He grinned and nodded. “Fine. I like a woman who can ask a guy out.” He laughed a little, stood and walked back to his desk.

hehehe... ok tell me what you think and if i should post the date

[EwansGirl]

even though no one replyed, i'll just post more to humor the ppl that read without posting responses (like me...) *guilty smirk that changes to an innocent grin*

Later that evening, after work. Rick was getting ready to pick Jinny up at the address she gave him.
He put on a dark blue shirt with khakis and the silver necklace he always wore underneath his shirt. Not that he thought it was cool or anything, it was just necessary.
That necklace would become very valuable to Jinny.
He walked out of his door and climbed into his black Saturn. He turned it on and drove towards Jinny’s apartment building.
She was sitting on the couch in the living room waiting for that knock that meant that Rick was there and ready.
She heard a knock and stood up to open the door.
Rick stood waiting outside holding a single white rose.
She swung the door open and saw him standing there looking very handsome. “Hey.”
He smiled a little bit. “Hi.” He brought the rose from behind his back. “Oh, uh, this is for you.”
She took the rose and smiled a little bit. “Uh, thanks.”
He looked down shyly. “Your welcome.”
Rick took Jinny’s arm and they walked out to his car. He walked around to the passenger side and opened the door for her. She climbed in. “Thanks.”
“You’re welcome.” He walked around to the driver’s side and climbed in. He started the car and drove off.
Jinny looked over at him. “Why do you always wear that necklace? If you don’t mind that is…”
Rick looked into the rearview mirror then at Jinny, then at the road. “I have to. It’s a medic alert pendant.”
Jinny nodded. “Why do you need it?”
Rick sighed. “I didn’t want to tell you so soon, but I guess it’s your right to know… Jinny… I’m dying.”


hehehe... now will someone respond? respond or you wont know what he has!!!

WHY WONT MY FREAKY SPACE KITTEN LOAD?!?!?

oh well... here's more... and those of you who already read it... i changed it a lil...

Jinny looked at him in shock. “What?”
Rick pulled into the parking lot of their destination. “I’m dying. I have leukemia.”
As Rick parked, Jinny let what he had just said sink in. “I… I don’t know what to say.”
Rick opened his door and climbed out, then walked over to Jinny’s side and opened her door for her. “Say anything but ‘I’m sorry’. I don’t want anyone’s pity.”
Jinny got out of the car and she looked into his eyes. “Alright… but instead of dinner, could we go somewhere and talk?”
Rick nodded. “Whatever you want.”
They got back into the car and drove in silence, Jinny looking out the window to occupied in her thoughts to talk. They eventually got to their peaceful destination, the bay bridge.
Jinny looked over at him, noticing that he was looking out over the water. “I’m guessing you come here a lot too?”
He nodded, not taking his gaze from the peaceful calm of the water. A slight breeze blew over it, making ripples in the reflection of the moon in it’s surface.. “I have a lot to think about. It’s a peaceful place.”
Jinny smiled. “I agree. I love it here.”
Rick turned the car off and looked down at the keys in his hands. “Sometimes… sometimes I think there’s no point you know? Just waking up every morning knowing that you’re gonna die. Just living each day thinking ‘what if the doctor was wrong? What if this is my last day?’ ya know?” He trailed off as one tear made a silent path down his cheek.
Jinny had never seen him upset before, and it scared her. “There is a point Rick. Each day that you’re alive you change someone’s life.”
He looked at her. “That may be. But when I die think of all that I leave behind. Each day I live, each day I make new friends I make more people to feel pain when I die.”
Jinny shook her head. “Everyone will miss you, but you still have time.” She brought her hand up to his cheek and touched it slightly before she put it back down in her lap. “Think of all that you can do during the time you still have.”
Rick looked down. “A month. I have a month. They can’t find a donor of the same blood type as me. That’s why I’m dying. No one cares.”
Jinny moved her hand from her lap to take his hand. “People do care Rick… I know they do…”
He smiled and tightened his grip on her hand. “Thank you Jinny.”

As they walked along the edge of the bay, looking up at the stars, Jinny thought about what would happen when Rick did die. She also thought about his not being able to find a donor.
“Rick, what about your family. Can’t they be donors?”
Rick shook his head. “I’m adopted. Orphaned actually.”
Jinny looked down feeling sorry for him. “Oh.”
Rick nodded. “Well, my adoptive family is good enough for me. They love me and take care of me… and since I never knew my real parents it doesn’t really bug me that I’m not a blood relative of their’s… What about you? What’s your family like?”
Jinny tensed some at the question and looked down, then up at the night sky. She sighed. “I was wondering when you were gonna get to that… I have two brothers… Casey and John Jr. Casey’s a great guy but he’s gay so John Jr beat him up because of it. There’s a constant feud goin on between them.”
He looked down. “What about your parents?”
She sighed again. “My mom died when I was 14. After that, my dad started drinking more heavily then he used to… not that there was that much of a difference…”
Rick looked over at her and noticed a tear falling down her cheek. He reached up and wiped it away. “Everyone has their ups and downs in life. It may seem you have more downs then everyone else, but you don’t. Everyone is eventually balanced out.”
She kissed his cheek. “Thanks, Rick.”
He smiled in reply to the kiss and looked at the ground, blushing though she couldn’t tell in the dim light of the stars. “No problem.”

[EwansGirl]

here's more... i hope ppl are still reading... this is new stuff i just wrote!


Jinny woke up the next morning to the aggravating beep of her digital alarm clock. Her arm ventured out of the warmth of the blanket to shut it off and she patted the right side of her bed to see if it is occupied. Discovering it wasn’t she threw the covers off and looked around for a minute, disoriented. She then remembered the events of the previous night and the fact that it did not end in sex. She slowly rose to a standing position and moved toward the bathroom for a shower.
Rick woke up not long after Jinny to the tune of his favorite CD. He reached his arm out of the blanket to find the remote to the TV and turned it on. He threw the covers off and turned off the CD player as he listened to the morning news. As the announcer went through the weather, he took out his clothes and shoes, then his pendant. He crossed to the closet and took out a towel, then went into the bathroom for his shower.
Once at the Division, Jinny opened her locker and put in all the items she would not need for now and closed it. She then crossed to the door and left to go to her desk. As she was walking through the hall, Rick entered and ran into her. Rick stumbled back and fell into a wall. “Heh, sorry Jinny. I didn’t see you. Are you alright?”
Jinny smiled and nodded. “Yeah, I’m fine.” She paused, looking around them to avoid his eyes.
“I had a great time at the lake last night, Jinny.” These words caused Jinny to look up into his eyes. She barely managed to whisper, “I did to.” He looked down at her and neither of them could move for a moment. They were absorbing every second of this and were very much caught up in the moment.
Jinny turned away. “I really should go…” She walked away quickly to avoid talking about it further.
