Well, well, well. This one's for KP because of her awesomeness and all that :).
--
She holds back a scream
While she watches them toast
And she raises her glass
An ironic smile on her face
Why did it turn out like this?
Why did he get the happy ending?
And she ended up screwed over?
He watches from the table
In the center of the room
Admires her beauty
As she toasts away her happiness
He wishes he could help her
And there's nothing he can do
But watch and admire from a distance.
She runs out of the room
Holding back the vomit
She doesn't want to be here
But she owed it to her friends
To show her face after everything
After the disastrous last months
But all she wants to do is hide.
He sees her run out of the room
And feels compelled to run after her
Nate watches him watch her
And tells him to follow her
"You never know if she needs you."
He goes after her
Hoping she won't shut him out.
"Tess? It's me," she hears from outside
Part of her wants to scream, Go away
But she knows who it is
So she doesn't say anything
She just sits on the floor
Waiting for something to happen
Thought she doubts anything will.
He walks in and looks at her
She looks lonely and a little bit insane
Sitting on the floor with her make up running
Not as prim and proper as she always is
But he likes this Tess better
The real, raw, full-of-flaws Tess
The one no one ever gets to see.
She looks up at him in surprise
"Jason, what are you doing here?"
He shrugs and sits down next to her
And reaches into her purse for a Kleenex
Her eyes widen in shock but she giggles
He's never made much sense to her
But she appreciates what he's doing.
His stomach flutters nervously
And he resists the urge of shushing it
Not that it'd work or help at all
He watches her giggle cutely
And when a strand of loose hair falls
And covers those gorgeous blue eyes of hers
He pushes it back carefully.
She shivers at his touch
Which makes him look at her intensely
Or it feels that way to her
She doesn't think when she leans forward
And kisses him boldly
But luckily he kisses back
And she smiles into the kiss.
He thinks the kiss was bound to happen
And feels her smile against his lips
Just to think a minute ago things were different
And she was crying over Shane
But now she was with him
And he was happy about that
Because it's about time.
