Jillian: Hello “Angel” Jillian speaking!
Guy: Jillian I need to talk to you!
Jillian: Who is this?
Guy: It’s me Drew! … We need to talk and I think that you know what it’s about!
Jillian: Okay why don’t you come by in about an hour … Everything will be closed up and everyone will have left … I’ll leave the back door opened so that you can get it.
Drew: Okay I’ll see ya then
Jillian: Bye
Jillian hangs up the phone just as Brian walks into the room.
Brian: Who was that on the phone?
Jillian: No one important!
Brian: Jillian!!
Jillian: Okay fine it was Drew … He’s coming over and I’m going to end it.
Brian: Good! … It should have never started in the first place
Jillian puts her head down on her papers and sighs.
Jillian: I know things just got out of hand … I just thought that …
Brian walks over to where Jillian is sitting and puts his hands on her shoulders.
Brian: What? … You thought that you could stop him from getting married …
Jillian: It wasn’t that it was just that I was having so many problems … With Kevin, and the club and everything … And Drew just made me feel good … But I can’t keep hurting everyone that I care about … I wish …
Brian: What? … That you could have both … It doesn’t work that way Babe
Jillian: I know but this is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do! … How do you look someone in the eyes and tell them you don’t love them … And show no emotion when they start to cry … How can you turn around and walk away and pretend that you don’t have any feelings for them when all you want to do is hold them forever!
Brian: I know Jillian but you're doing the right thing for everyone involved!
*****************************************
Jillian was pacing around her living room. Everyone including Brian had left a little over fifteen minutes. It took some persuading for Kevin to leave but he finally did after Jillian had told him that she wasn’t feeling good and just wanted to be alone and have a good night sleep. She hated seeing how hurt he looked but it would soon be over and everything could get back to normal again after she talked to Drew. After a few more minutes of pacing around the room Jillian heard a little knock on her front door. She ran to open it and found Drew standing on the other side. Drew stepped in and looked at Jillian.
Drew: Is everyone gone?
Jillian: Yeah everyone has left for the evening!
Drew: We both know that I shouldn’t be here … This is wrong … I’m getting married but I needed to say goodbye in person.
Jillian: Drew I can’t do it anymore … All the sneaking around and lying … And baby … It’s killing me and it’s killing you … Both of us are trying to be strong
Drew: This is crazy … I shouldn’t be feeling this way … It started so innocent … How did it get so out of hand
Both Drew and Jillian were just about to cry but it was Drew who walked over to Jillian and wrapped his arms around her to give her a hug. They hugged for a few seconds until Jillian pulled away.
Jillian: This is the hardest thing that I have ever had to do … I mean it’s not easy… I can’t tell you what it has meant to me to have you in my life for these past few months but my hands are tied and my heart’s not free
Drew: We’re just not meant to be
Jillian: I think that for everyone involved we should just not see each other for a little while.
Drew: But …
Jillian: I don’t think that it would raise too many questions … Questions that we are not prepared to answer. … I don’t want to lie to Kevin anymore and to do that I have to stay away from you … I’m sorry Drew!
Drew: I know that we’ll meet again … Fate has a place and time … We just have to get on with our lives … you’ve got to be cruel to be kind …I will never forget the time that we shared … but there can be no happy endings.
Jillian begins to cry and Drew is about to go over and comfort her when he stops.
Drew: Maybe another time, another day … As much as I want to, I can’t stay!
Drew reaches for the door and runs out, leaving Jillian standing in the middle of the room crying. Jillian walks over towards the couch and lies down when she hears the her front door opening.
Jillian: What are you doing here?
Guy: I’m sorry baby … I couldn’t stay away
Jillian sits up on the couch and looks towards the door. Kevin was standing there smiling at her.
Kevin: Are you feeling any better?
Jillian: Not really
Kevin: Am I bothering you … I can leave if you really want me to
Jillian: No you don’t have to go
Kevin smiles again and closes the door behind him. He walks across the room towards Jillian and sits down beside her.
Kevin: I know that I haven’t been around because of the touring but all that is going to change.
Jillian: Really …
Kevin doesn’t let Jillian finish her sentence before he kisses her. Jillian pulls away and looks at Kevin.
Jillian: Kevin please …
Kevin: Here!
Kevin picks Jillian up into his arms and carries her into her bedroom. Once there he gently places Jillian onto the bed and climbs in beside her.
Kevin: We can just lie here together
Jillian: But …
Kevin: No buts about it … Just go to sleep and you will feel better tomorrow
Kevin wraps his arms around Jillian and she places her head on his chest.
Jillian: I’ve missed this Kevin … It’s been a while! … I thought that you didn’t love me as much anymore!
Kevin: I gave you my heart … Baby right from the start … And that’s the way it will always be … I love you too much to ever let you go!
Jillian: I love you too Kevin!
Kevin begins to stroke her hair and in minutes Jillian has fallen fast asleep. Kevin smiles and falls asleep with his head resting on top of Jillian’s.
