With and Without You (A Jordan Knight Fanfiction)

Chapter 9

Vivian is so happy to see her best friend Amy when she gets home. She barely got to talk to her this week. Amy and Vivian have been best friends since the first grade. So they know everything about each other. As soon as Amy walked into Vivian's house and saw her bff, she knew, "You met a boy!! What's his name,  how old is he, what's he look like, what did y'all do together? Are you still holding your "V" card or did you cash that damn thing in"?

"Jeez Amy!! Good to see you too. And yes I met a guy. His name is Jordan. He's seventeen, almost eighteen. He's gorgeous. We hung out almost every day. He's amazing! And yes I still have my "V" card. I just met him, you think I'd just give it away to the first cute guy I met after Erik? Here I have a picture of him." Vivian pulled out the first set of photo booth pictures they took. She handed them to Amy. "HOLY SHIT VIVI!! This dude is fucking GORG!!! Are you totally in love? I mean I am and I'm just seeing him in four tiny photos".

Vivian laughed, "Amy, you're crazy, but that's why I love you. No, I'm not in love with the guy I just met last week in Boston. But I definitely like him. He's different from any guy I've ever met. He sings. And he sings beautifully. He wants to be a singer after school. I think he'll be famous one day. We're going to keep in touch and see each other again this summer."

Amy looked happy for her, "So what did he say about you being a virgin? Was he cool about it"?

"Yeah he was more than cool about it. He never once brought up sex after I told him. And we still went out every night. He actually said his mom told him and his brothers that sleeping with a virgin is a really big deal. And not something they should do unless they are in love with the girl. So he knows its not something to be taken lightly. We did a lot of other stuff though" Vivian gave her bff a sly grin. Amy's mouth dropped open.

"Well Amy tell me about Padre. Was it as much fun as we always thought it would be?"

Amy shrugs, "It was okay. I mean we all drank and partied all week. But I missed by main bish. It wasn't the same without you. Have you talked to Erik? He got super fucked up and screwed some girl from North Dallas and then cried to me about how much he loves you and misses you. You should know he's planning on trying to win you back. But he wasn't planning on telling you about the girl. So girl be prepared!! I think you'll be okay though, after hearing about Jordan and seeing his fine ass!! So how did you two leave things"?

Vivian felt herself begin to smile as she thought about how she and Jordan left things. "Well he surprised me at the airport when I was waiting for my plane. He just showed up. We're going to keep in touch and see each other this summer. And my dad wants me to move to Boston after high school to go to college. Well Jordan heard me and my dad talking about it and now he keeps bringing up me coming to Boston long term".

"Wait he met your dad? That's big girl."

"He ran into me and dad while we were looking at colleges. We were at BU and Jordan just showed up out of nowhere. He was there because he's going there after graduation. And of course that was my favorite of all the campuses we visited in Boston. At least I know if he and I really hit it off this summer and do end up really wanting to be together,  we have options. I can go to school in Boston. So I'll be applying to BU along with my Texas schools. Are you still planning on California for college?"
"Yeah I think so. I want to get the fuck out of Texas. And college is the best way to do that."

Vivian was so not ready to go back to school. After a week away she had a hard time getting her head back into the swing of things. Her thoughts kept taking her back to Boston and Jordan. She couldn't stop thinking about him. She kept looking at their pictures. She was looking at the ones of them kissing when Erik spoke from over her shoulder, "Who's the guy Vivian? New boyfriend?"
Vivian put their photos away, "What the fuck, Erik. Don't sneak up on me like that. Why are you looking over my shoulder being all nosey"?

He looked hurt, "I was just trying to say hi and see you looking at pictures of you kissing some guy. Who is he? I mean we just broke up before you went to Boston and you come back after one week with a boyfriend? Really Vivian"?

Vivian was tired of being nice, "Look asshole, I gave you three years together.  And YOU dumped me two weeks before Spring Break so you could be single and have sex without cheating on your girlfriend who wouldn't have sex with you. Well I hear your mission was accomplished and you fucked some girl from North Dallas. So where do you get off asking me about my time in Boston? Here's what I have to tell you about Jordan...IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!"

Vivian walked away and went to her next class. She's angry and hurt, she hasn't heard from Jordan since she got home. She thought he would have called by now. Maybe she should call him. She'll call him tonight, see how his first day back at school was. Her anger begins to fade a little at the thought of talking to Jordan. Damn, what's this effect he has on her? Just thinking about possibly talking to him made her feel things deep inside herself. She couldn't wait to get home now.

The rest of her day dragged, she just wanted to go home. She wanted to hear Jordan's sexy voice, maybe she could get him to sing for her, this made her giggle. Then she realized the whole class turned and looked at her. Her teacher looked surprised at her, "Miss. Fraser is there anything you want to share with the class"? Vivian was embarrassed that she was being called out in class. "No Mr. Shepard, sorry".

Vivian was happy to finally be going home. She was going to call Jordan as soon as she got to her house, it was an hour later in Boston, he should be home from school already.

Vivian was heading up to her room when her mom yelled at her, "Hey Vivi, how was school"? "It was good mom".
"Vivi, who's Jordan Knight"? Vivian stopped in her tracks and heading back downstairs to where her mom was, "Why do you ask that mom?" She handed her a envelope,  "He sent you a letter." Vivian took the letter from her mom and felt extreme happiness at the thought of him sitting and writing her a letter. "He's the boy I met in Boston." That's all she told her mom as she ran up the stairs to her room. She threw her bookbag onto the floor and laid on her bed and just looked at her unopened letter from Jordan. She was a little nervous to open his letter. She wasn't sure if it was nervous happy or nervous scared.

After reading Jordan's letter, Vivian wanted to talk to him even worse than she had earlier. She hadn't expected his letter, much less what it said. He really liked her. This made her heart happy.  She wanted to tell him she felt the same about him. She wasn't sure he'd want to talk to her over the phone about it though. He'd written his feelings down instead of calling to tell her. But she wanted him to hear the sincerity in her voice when she told him she'd not date anyone else while they were apart.
