*sequel to A Boy Named Jasper*
    ~~~~~
    When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to get well?" (John 5:6)
    ~~~~~~
    Jasper has been in L.A. for almost five years. Not a day went by where he wasn't plastered on the cover of some tabloid or another, mostly for things that would've made Callie's brown eyes droop in disappointment. He hadn't seen her beautiful eyes in person in years, the touring life having taken him away from Texas most of the time. She didn't seem to mind though; she stopped calling as frequently, stopped video-chatting him for hours on end. Her life seemed just as busy as his was.
    
    Callie was about to graduate college. Full-ride scholarship, honors and a 4.0 GPA all culminating in a psychology and counseling double-major degree. She has a job lined up at a non-profit and a head full of unrelenting optimism. Not a day goes by that she doesn't think about Jasper and his new life in L.A.  His blue eyes still live in her memory, immortalized in her lock screen, but she hasn't seen him in person in years.
    
    Callie didn't mean to stop calling and Jasper didn't mean to close himself off like before. Life just got in the way as it always does. They weren't unrecognizable, exactly, but they definitely weren't the same people. Callie was still a ray of sunshine with her relentless positivity and Jasper had reverted back to being a thunderstorm with a penchant for things he swore he'd never get involved in. All it took was one night for him to get back to square one. But things always get worse before they get better.All Rights Reserved
