Everything was going great, Hanson and the two couples were in all the magazines and they were invited to every opening, party, or premier. Chele wore Taylor's Hanson ring proudly and Zac bought Jessy a promise ring. The night he gave it to her, they had spent the day with his family at Sea World and Jessy was helping with dinner as Chele bathed Zoe. "Babe I wanted to talk to you." Zac pouted as she once again pushed him away and worked on dinner instead of paying attention to him. "Zac please, can't it wait I'm busy right now." Jessy asked looking at the disappointment on his face. "Oh Zac. Mom can you watch this and not let it boil over?" Jessy asked. "Of course dear. You go ahead and see what it is he wants and it better be good." Diana warned as Zac led Jessy out onto the patio and shut the door. They walked hand in hand, "Jessy are you happy?" Zac asked. "Of course I am Zac, why would you question that. You know I'm happiest when I'm with you." she answered kissing him sweetly. "Me too Jessy, I've never been happier." Zac declared. "I'm so glad hun. Now can I go finish dinner?" Jessy said caressing his face and kissig him tenderly before asking. "No not yet. Jessy remember I asked you to go with me and you said yes?" Zac asked. "Yes Zac, I was there remember?" Jessy teased. "Well Jessy, um seeings we're going together already and I didn't give you a ring to wear or nothing. I decided that maybe it's because I want to ask you something." Zac said and paused gazing at Jessy, wrappig her in his arms. "God I love it here." Jessy sighed laying her head against his chest and hugging him tight. "I love you there too Jessy. I just plain love you Jessy and I hope you learn to love me too." Zac shared. "Zac you love me too?" Jessy gasped. "Yeah babe, I love you. I have for some time Jessy but I didn't want to pressure you by telling you. I didn't want you to say it just because I did you know?' Zac explained. "Same with me, I just didn't want to pressure you. Zac, I love you." Jessy said caressing his face and gazing into his warm brown eyes. "I love you too Jessy." Zac said lost in her bright blues eyes that appearred to be twinkling, finally breaking the silence by asking, "Jessy would you wear my promise ring. It means were going steady and we love each other and promise that someday when our love grows stronger that we'll still be together and then I'll give you a mate to this as an engagement ring." Zac pulled a ring box from his pocket and removed a beautiful gold band with a small diamond in a simple setting and on the inside was engraved "My promise to you. Love Always, Zac" "Zac it's beautiful. Oh yes I'll promise you. Zac I love you and can't imagine being with anyone but you ever." Jessy declared kissing him deeply then extending her left hand. "Oh it's so beautiful Zac." Jessy gasped as he placed it on her finger then leaned to kiss it before kissing her passionately. "Zac can we show everybody?" Jessy squealed. "Yeah we can show everyone." Zac answered leading her back into the house. "What's that look for? Jessy I've never seen you so happy, what is it?" Diana asked. "Tell her Zac." Jessy pleaded. "Mom, Jessy and I are going steady already and well I just asked her to promise to work at it until our love grows strong enough and then we'll get engaged and some day I plan on marrying her." Zac announced lifting Jessy's left hand. "Oh Jessy it's beautiful." Diana gasped. "I thought so." Jessy answered as Diana hugged her tight. "I'm very happy for you and you too." Diana shared still hugging Jessy then kissing Zac's cheek. Soon the whole family celebrated their good news and within days, the press caught up with them and the world knew. "Miss Jessy, this was delivered for you while you and Master Zac were out." Jessy heard staring at the package trying to figure out what it was. "Thanks I'll take it to my room, I need to change anyway. See you on the beach or you want to wait for me?" she replied. "Race you Sis." Chele said racing past her on the stairs. "No fair." Jessy screamed racing after her, adding, "I'll still win becuse you're old, real old." Jessy tossed the package on the bed and stripped as fast as she could and pulled out a one piece suit, pulling it on even faster and dashed out the door and raced down the stairs, catching up with Zac and Tay. "Hey you cheated, you're wearing a one piece." Chele screamed when she caught sight of her. "Makes it easier on Zac." Jessy answered. "Why doesn't have to look at as much of your bare body?" Taylor asked. "No, if we decided to remove a piece of clothing, he doesn't have to decide if he wants bare boobies or bare butt." Jessy teased grabbing a surf board and heading to the water with Zac on her heels. "Why can't you be considerate like your sister?" Taylor asked and then explained what Jessy had said. "No skinny dipping allowed. You hear me sis." Chele screamed after her as she and Zac paddled out to catch a wave. The four surfed until the waves died down and then they headed to shore. "I wonder why Ike didn't come, he promised me he would. We have to find someone for him, he keeps avoiding us." Jessy pouted. "I know babe. Thanks for trying to include him." Zac replied kissing her before taking her board and returning them to shore and then racing back to her. They swam, splashed each other and then made out. "Jessy I want you so much." Zac moaned after another passionate kiss. "Oh Zac what are we going to do, I want you too." Jessy confessed as she kissed him longer and harder than before and she felt him slip the strap of her suit off her shoulder but didn't stop him this time. She looked around to find Chele and Taylor on a blanket on shore so into each other they were in a world of their own. "Please babe, let me see you?" Zac asked as Jessy pushed his hand away and slid the strap down herself,watching Zac's expression as she pulled the top of her suit down. He moaned deeply and began gently caressing her breasts, rolling her nipples between his fingers causing her to moan as they hardened. "Zac." she moaned as her whole body reacted to his touch. "You want me don't you?" Zac asked kissing her again and again. "More than anything but I can't Zac I promised myself not to do this until I at least graduate high school. As much as I want you, I can't." Jessy answered pulling her suit back into place while waiting for some sort or response. "Well say something, anything. Hate me, yell at me. Zac do something." Jessy pleaded as Zac remained motionless, not looking at her, not speaking to her. "Fine be that way." Jessy declared swimming away from him, heading to shore, and making a beeline to her room. "Miss Jessy will Masters Taylor and Zac be staying for dinner and your mother called to say she would be staying over in Palm Springs." interrupted her thoughts. "Oh I'm sorry, I don't know if they'll be staying, I don't feel well and I'm going to my room. Could you ask Chele and let her know about Momma too?" Jessy responded not looking at him. "Very well, Are you sure you'll be all right?" he asked with concern in his voice. "I don't know." she answered before racing up the stairs. Once in her room, she cleaned up her dirty clothes, uncovering the package. After placing the clothes in the hamper she returned to the package and began to unwrap it, revealing a video labeled, 'Zac In The Pool'. Jessy pulled the video from the box and walked to the TV turning it on and pushing the tape in the VCR. "Oh my. What did they say?" Jessy asked stopping and rewinding, trying to make out what was said before watching the rest of the video. By the time it was over Jessy was sickened by what she'd seen and was filled with doubts. The churning in her stomach sent her racing to the bathroom as Chele knocked on her door. "Sis?" she asked opening the door when she didn't get an answer. "You okay sis?" Chele asked at the bathroom door hearing her vomitting. "Leave me alone." Jessy said in between heaves sending her back to the guys explaining she was ill. "She can't be. She was fine, she would have told me if she didn't feel well." Zac argued. "Zac I know the sound of someone puking and Sis hates to puke so she's sick." Chele explained grabbing his arm as he walked past her, "Zac she hates puking and doesn't like anyone around, me, Momma and I'm sure you too." she explained. "This is all my fault, I have to see her." Zac pleaded. "Zac all I know is Jessy is a lousy sick person. She can't stand being sick and if she is, she can't stand people around her. She's probably asleep by now. It's her answer to any illness, sleep." Chele explained and Zac chose to go home then so Tay and Chele decided to go out to dinner and she raced back upstairs to change. "Sis?" she called out entering Jessy's room finding her in bed. She pulled the blankets up over her and left the room, returning to explain to Zac before they left. Jessy watched as the van backed out of the drive then turned on the TV and watched the video one more time, "Man that sounds like Taylor, can't be he wouldn't spy on his brother." Jessy mumbled as her stomach started churning again and she raced to the bathroom. As she flopped on her bed again, pulling the comforter over her, she tried to think of someone she could talk to about this, "Sis already said it isn't so. Momma loves Zac and wouldn't believe it. Mom would be so hurt that I thought Zac would do someting like that, he's her baby. Gramma makes me think of the boys." Jessy thought as her eyes filled with tears, then as suddenly as the tears appearred, they disappearred as Jessy grabbed the phone and dialed, "Hello" Jaime answere. "Aunt Jaime, it's me Jessy. Help?" she said as she began to cry and then started explaining everything that happened. "Can I come stay with you for a little while?" Jessy asked. "Sure it's okay with me, but what about your Mom?" Jaime asked. "She's at some Health Spa in Palms Spring, she won't mind she isn't here now anyway." Jessy explained. "I'll call the airlines you call your mother." Jaime suggested and they both make the calls and Jaime called back with her flight information, giving Jessy just enough time to pack, write a few notes, and make it to the airport. "Good evening Miss Chele, your ister left this for you and if you would deliver this to your brother, Master Taylor." they were greeted as they returned. "Is sis feeling better?" Chele asked and was shocked to find out she was on the way to North Pole, Alaska. "I don't get it?" she asked looking at Taylor. "Me either baby. You know I was thrown by Zac saying it was all his fault, now I wonder what he meant by it. What sent her to Alaska to get away from him?" Taylor wondered looking at the note to Zac as Chele dialed the phone. "Momma it's me, what's up with sis?" she asked before Barbara could answer. "I can't tell you. Sis wouldn't say, just that something happened and she couldn't face it right now and she needed to get away right now for a few days. I'm sorry I don't know anything else. At least I know it wasnt you she's having problems with. I hope it's not Zac, she adores him so. Please tell me he didn't mess up?" Barbara asked. "Momma I don't know, we were surfing and she headed in all of a sudden. When I checked on her she was puking, you know she hates to puke." Chele explained. "Well she sounded fine besides upset, hurt. She ddn't sound ill." Barbara replied and the said their goodbyes. "Hey Ike, it's me Tay. Can you and Zac come over. Something's up and we need your help figuring it out okay?" Taylor asked and soon they were joined by Zac and Isaac. "That's all we know so far and were hoping that you can fill in the rest." Chele asked Zac as Taylor handed him the letter from Jessy. Zac moved to the stairs and slowl opened the letter. 'Hey hun, Please don't be upset. I needed to get away and sort through things. Things are going way to fast and I'm so sorry for behaing the way I did, teasing you that way. I'm so ashamed of myself and my behavior. I'm going to see my Aunt Jaime, she never judges people so maybe she can help me accept my behavior. Zac I'm sorry for being a tease and I can understand if you don't want to see me when I get home. Love, Jessy' "No Jessy. Why'd you have to go?" Zac called out as he rested his head on his knees hiding his face from the others. "What is it Zac?" Isaac asked sitting next to him placing an arm around him. "It's my fault. I didn't tell her it was okay, I just stood there and she ran off thinking I was mad at her." Zac said. "Man Zac, why would Jessy book just because you were mad at her. Nah not Jessy, she'd get in your face Zac. She has gotten in your face Zac. There has to be something else." Isaac suggested. "You think? Yeah you're right if she thought I was made at her she'd pick at it until we settled it. It's got to be more. I mean when we disagreed, she may have felt hurt but she wasn't sick and Chele said she was puking when she checked on her." Zac questioned. "I don't know. That doesn't make sense, Jessy's a tuffy. She keeps on going not matter what, headache, cramps. She's a tuffy. Let's check her room." Isaac suggested and Zac led the way. In the garbage Isaac pulled out the wrappig and the note, 'I told you I was with him first and he'll always be mine. Zac's Real Girlfriend', Isaac read. "Dammit. That bitch, she's the one who grabbed Jessy at the fence and she told her that. Sis was shocked and was really torn over what she said and finally decided she was just a wacko fan. What was in the package?" she asked as Isaac put the puzzle of ripped paper back together. "It's the size of a video." Isaac announced and they all turned their attention to the TV and Chele hit reject and out came 'Zac In The Pool'. "Dammit Taylor. You and that psycho friend of yours. Man what Jessy must be thinking. Nothing happened but she doesn't know that and thanks to a sick fan she thinks the worst of me." Zac complained. "No Zac. We talked about it and she was sure you couldn't do something like that Zac. I mean what could be on a 'Zac in the Pool' movie? You weren't skinny dipping were you?" Chele asked. "Nah I wasn't skinny dipping but it isn't the nicest tape. Taylor sat me up with this older chick, and well we didn't do nothing I promise." Zac pleaded for her to believe him. "I believe you Zac, tell Sis." Chele insisted as she hit redial on the phone. "Hello." Jaime answered and Chele quickly explained who she way and what they thought had happened, putting Zac on the line. "Zac all I can tell you is she wasn't thrilled by the movie but I don't think that's what upset her the most." Jaime explained. "Then what? Was it because I didn't answer her? I didn't want to say the wrong thing and when I went to talk to her, Chele said she was sick. The movie made her sick didn't it? I swear nothing happened. I didn't do anything, can you tell her that for me? Please tell her I love and I wouldn't do such a thing?" Zac pleaded. "I will Zac, I think down deep she knows. I have to go to the airport now, I'll have her call you." Jaime suggested. "Please? I have to tell her it's not what she thinks." Zac pleaded and soon he was racing back home too wait for her call. Time moved slowly as he waited, prayed for her to call him. Long after the others went to bed, Zac still waited, "Jessy?" he answered the ringing phone. "Yeah hun. Zac please don't cry. I didn't leave you honest. I just needed to get away before I did something I couldn't undo Zac. I can't believe what I was doing. Zac if you didn't love me, I could be in serious trouble behaving the way I was." Jessy admitted as he answered on the first ring. "Jessy I didn't." Zac choked out. "I know you didn't Zac. That's not why I left. Yeah I wasn't too thrilled watching you putting the moves on someone else Zac, But hun, you sure were lousy at it back then." Jessy replied bringing a chuckle from him. "That's not fair. I was thirteen, never been with a girl alone before and I think I did okay. It was all Taylor's doing, he set me up with the girl and him and his friend shot the video and she sold copies of it. Jessy I don't even remember her name. Maybe it was the girl at the fence, I don't know. All I know is we weren't "together" and there's no way she was my first because someday you will be babe. That is if you still want to be with me?" Zac explained getting quiet when he finally asked her if she was still his. "Oh Zac, hun, wanting you is the reason I'm here. Zac we're only fourteen and I want you this desperately. You're all I can think about Zac and the way I teased you tonight, you can't always be strong and turn me away. Zac just know I love you more for not taking things farther. I really am not ready to deal with all of it in spite of what my body says. My mind knew that we have a long way to go before we're ready to deal with each other sexually. God Zac if you didn't love me enough to stop tonight, we could have changed our lives forever, I mean we could be parents in nine months, if it wasn't for your strength." Jessy exclaimed. "I didn't think of it that way babe. Jessy I'd stand by you, I mean if we did and you were, I wouldn't leave you Jessy. I'd fight to be able to marry you and we'd have our first child in nine months instead of later." Zac confessed. "I know that Zac. But Zac be honest, it's not the way you want things to happen, is it?" Jessy asked. "I guess not Jessy. I like the idea of being married to you, you know, not having to stop. I could love you totally Jessy, that I'd like." Zac admitted. "To be able to be in you arms whenever I wanted. To be able to let myself love you the way I feel instead of telling myself it's not right, we should wait. I don't like telling myself it's not right Zac, it feels right. When I look in your eyes I know you love me too, why do we have to wait?" Jessy asked. "Because we do love each other babe. Think about it Jessy, did you really want our first time, to be a quickie in the ocean or a stolen minute afraid to be found out. Babe I want to love you totally with my heart, soul, mind and body. I want it to be so special, you'll never leave me." Zac confessed. "Zac all I need is to be with you and it'll be special. I'm meant to be with you. I decided that on the ride up here. I decided it didn't matter if that girl had you first, because I was going to have you last until the end of time." Jessy declared and they made plans for her return the next day before finally saying goodnight. "I understand know Jessy. All I wanted to know was 'Why'd You Have To Go?" and you know what, you had to go so our love would grow stronger." Zac shared as he said goodnight until they were together again.
