JENN'S P.O.V.
"So it's this whole story about ultimate love, and finding yourself. But with all manners of mythical creatures- vampires, angels, demons, etc." I was explaining my latest series addiction to Cora. There was nothing I loved more than to read.
Cora laughed, "Sounds awesome, but I think I'll pass."
We were sprawled out on Cora's bedroom floor, dscussing latest gossip, latest books, and avoiding all thing boys.
Ding.
My phone chimed, and I rolled over Cora to reach it. It was Ross.
"Hey, Cor, I got to go. Ross just texted me." I grabbed my bag and stood up.
Cor grabbed my ankle."What did he say?"
"He said he really needs to talk to me, and to meet him at the park." I grinned.
"Umm, Jenn, I had to burst your bubble.. but..." she trailed off.
"But what? He's talking to me again. This is good."
She bit her lip, "I really hope so, but Jenn, what if he wants to break up with you? I don't want to be the bad news girl, but, it is a possibility, and I don't want you to go to him all happy, and then have your heart completely broken."
I stopped, frozen by the thought. "You're right. I can't go. No, I need to. Even if he breaks.... even if he breaks up with me. I have to try one more time to set the record straight with him. I have to go."
She nodded, "Well, than good luck." She gave me a little wave, and I headed downstairs. I said bye to or's mom, and got on my bike. Within minutes I got to the park.
"Ross? Ross, are you here?" I called out when I got there.
"Yeah, I'm right here." He stepped out from behind the slide, dressed in jean shorts, a red tank top and red flip flops. Our outfits were the same.. and he was holding...omigod....he was holding a rose. A light pink rose.
I put my hands to my mouth in shock. "Oh my God, Ross..."
He came towards me and gave me a hug. "Shh... don't say anything. Just let me talk."
I nodded into his chest as he wrapped his arms around me, putting the rose on a rock.
"I really messed up, and I'm so sorry. I let my jealousy get a hold of me, and I couldn't stand it. I should have trusted in you, in us. You needed me, and I let you down. I promised I would be there for you, no matter what Sheila did, and the first try she makes at separating us, I go off the deep end. I'm so so sorry. and it took my sister to make me realize what an idiot I was being. What a jerk I was being. She made me realize something. We can make it through this, and we will. I'm just I'm so sorry. I love you, more than anything. I just-" I pulled him closer to me and pressed my lips against his.
He pressed himself closer to me, and I wrapped my arms around his neck. After a few seconds, I broke away, "You talk too much sometimes Ross. But you're not the only one who has to apologize, for something. I completely flipped out yesterday. I should never have climbed out that window."
He grabbed my hand, and lead me over the swings, picking up the rose on the way.
"Remember the last time we were sitting on swings together?" He asked me.
I smiled at him, "Yeah, I do. When we had that whole get together at the party place."
"The day we had our first kiss. I never thought that that moment could ever be topped. But it is. Every time I look at you, or look in your eyes, or kiss you. I feel like my entire body is this giant spark. I just, I love you so much. Which is why I got you this." He handed me the rose.
"Aw, Ross, that's really sweet of you. I love you too." I reached over and kissed him.
He kissed me back, briefly. Then pulled away. I opened my eyes. "What's wrong Ross?"
He gave me a huge smile, "Nothing's wrong, I just have one more thing for you." He reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a necklace. It had a thin gold chain, and I small gold heat locket on it. He opened it up, and showed me a picture of the two of us together on one side, and an inscription on the other.
True love is eternal. Ross and Jennifer forever <3
I felt tears gather in my eyes. "Ross, it's beautiful, I love it. and i love you. So much." I held my hair out of the way, and he put the necklace on my neck, closing the clasp. I let my hair drop, and stood up. He got to his feet too, and pulled me into his embrace, before kissing me passionately on the lips.

Ross answered his phone. "Yes....we're amazing....whoa what?.... we're on our way."
He put his phone his pockeet and turned to me, "We have to go right now. Delly said they got a letter, and that we need to get there as soon as possible. Riker is phoning Cora."
