Chapter 15 "The Trouble"




June 2nd, later that afternoon and into the next day........


Scott was so happy he lifted Carrie off the floor hugging her.  "Ok, ok, congratulations."  "Thank you, thank you so much."  Scott ran out of the studio, crossed over to the next studio, his heart stopped he didn't hear any music.  Then he saw a girl running out, she was obviously on a mission.  "Excuse me?"  "Look bud, I am in a hurry I have to go get some lattes."  "Yeah this will only take just a sec."  "Ok, man but hurry up, Tany Connors is expecting her coffee."  "Thanks, nevermind."  Scott hurried into the studio.



He saw her talking to Al and Biff.  There was a few other people around but no one was paying attention.



Scott picked up his phone, he let it ring.  He saw her answer it.  "Hey, I have been missing you today."  He smiled, she looked absolutely perfect, "You have, I have too.  I went on a few auditions."  "Yeah, did you get another romantic comedy."



 He walked a little closer, their phones started to echo.  She took the phone away from her ear.  "No, I didn't get another romantic comedy."  "Where are you, you sound really close."




He was so close that Biff saw and he smiled.  "That's because I am."  "Where are......".  She saw him.



 
She jumped off the chair, "What are you doing here?"  "I was auditoning for a roll." He said kissing her.



"You didn't get it, I am so sorry."  Biff saw the look on Scott's face he knew what that meant.  "Well, you are now looking at the male lead for Ripley Mott's new movie "Time Oracle".



 "Wow, man that is just awesome." Al said patting his old friend on the back.  
"Oh Scott that is just Awesome, You are going to be a big star." Tany knew Ripley Mott, she had been to a few of his premiers with her father.  She even sang for him a time or two. 
"Aw thanks, Tanz, I sure hope so."




"We should celebrate," Biff declared.  
"I would love to, but Mr. Mott wants me to fly to Atlanta."   
"That's too bad, well not bad but you know what I mean....." Said Biff tapping Scott's shoulder.




"Yeah and we have to be in New York in the morning anyway." Al said looking at Tany.  Early they had a discussion about the week and Tany knew it was going to be a harder week than ever. Scott saw her and he got an idea.



"Say Al when are you guys taking a break?"  Al could tell what Scott was thinking, he had known the man too long.  
"When we are done with New York, then we will have a few months."  
"That will be a long break, Tanz."  She just gave him a quizzical look.  Al countered with, "Where would you like me to get the tickets to?"  Again Tany gave Scott a look.  Scott put his arm around her and said, "If Ms. Connors would be my escort, I would like to spend sometime in the Bahamas."



Tany jumped up, "Oh, Al can I go?"  "Geez, Mouth that is a tall order?"  She put her hands together and practically begged him.  Scott looked at Al, "Oh can we, please Big Al."  Al took a deep sigh, "All right I will call and get the tickets, Biff would you like to go?"




Biff shook his head, "Nope, I think I will stay here and catch up on some reading."  He then winked at Scott.  Tany caught the look, but figured she would find out soon enough.




Jonny was sitting on the plane, sitting next to him was Al.




Tany and Biff were in the seats behind them.  Tany was resting on Biff's shoulders she would be out as soon as the plane took off.  Jonny can't sleep on planes, he tries but he just can't.




Al was situated and was listening to his music.  Jonny sat back and wondered what was so important for Jenny to want to talk to him in person. 




The plane started to take off,  Jonny wondered what Jenny was doing at the very moment, was she getting on the plane.  Jonny was feeling a little light headed, he knew he was starting to feel things for Jenny he hadn't felt in a long time.  The question was, "Did Jenny feel the same for him?" Why did love have to be so hard, falling in love and falling out of love are the two hardest things.  "Guess that's why the call it falling."





Jonny closed his eyes, when he did he saw her.  She was sitting on a bench, she looked at him and his heart melted.  He wanted to kiss her, but he didn't know if he could.




He bent down and slowly lowered his head to her height, their lips were so close Jonny could feel her breath on his.  She smelled like roses, her lips were shiny and he was ready to kiss her now.  He was getting closer and closer........ "Dude, you fell asleep."




"What?"  "You must have had a really good dream," Al said looking at a certain area of the male body.  "Oh, man I was having a really good dream."  "Yeah, well we need to get off so we can be at the studio."  "Yeah alright."




Jonny was going to be in this video more than Tany.  This made him feel like crap.  Had he known he wouldn't have had a little hissy fit.  But how can he explain to her that this was a band.  No sense crying over spilt milk.  Jonny was getting in his costume, he would be playing a business man during the day, but a bad boy at night.  Tany and Jonny would never be on screen together in this video.  This was something very new to both.



Since Jonny was filming Tany decided she would site see with Biff.  "Neither had ever been site seeing in New York.  Biff with Tany's arm in his caught a taxi.  They started out on Ellis Island.  Tany wanted to see what her Great Grandpa and Great Gramma saw as they came to America, with the hopes of a better life.  Tany got the chills as she imagined what it was like. John's Grandpa came over from Ireland, because he was tired of trying to raise his family in wars.  He was able to come during the homestead act so he was able to get some land.  Which later became the birth home of John Seamius O'Connor the 10th child to Seamius and Anna.




Tany imagined that was her and Scott.  He of course would be in his daper suit and Tany would be in her coat.  That would be very cool.  Biff of Course was also there, in the background waiting for someone to shoot Tany.  She smiled as the daydream faded and she came back to earth.  Biff saw her expression, "Scott?"  "Mm-maybe?"  Biff and Tany went to a restaurant that had a picture of her and her father, when she was like eight.  She had totally forgotten.  Time was going very fast for her.



She needed to be back at the studio, Biff got a Taxi.  "Thank you for a wonderful day."  She said to Biff as they were getting in the car.  "I enjoyed it too."  "Yeah that was fun, I am so glad I have you to hang out with."  "It could be worse."  She laughed, because she could be hanging out with her brother. 




Jonny was finishing up, he was sitting in the makeup chair so he could get it taken off.  He wasn't really paying attention, Jenny opened the door slowly.  She stood there for a few minutes.  Finally Jenny spoke up, Jonny jumped a little.  "Hi."  "Hey, you scared me."  "I'm sorry."  "No, no that is ok, let me finish, and I will be with you in a minute.




Al escorted Jenny to a place where she could just sit and relax.  Jonny finished getting his makeup off and had walked to where Al told him to.  Jenny was looking out the window.




"Hey."  Jenny turned around slowly, tears were in her eyes.  "I want to tell you everything, but I don't know how to."  "Jenny, if you don't want to, you don't have to."  "Yes, I do, because I can't expect you to tell me your secrets if I can't tell you mine."  "Let's go somewhere private."  "Ok."  




They went to Central Park that wasn't emptied but if was fairly deserted.  They sat down on some swings, "Ok, first I want you to know that I am so glad to see you."  "Me too."




"Second I am so sorry you had to walk into my life at the wrong moment."  "Ok, whatever that means," he said offended.  "It's not bad........ Well a little but this has nothing to do with you," looking him in the eye.  "I have been on the run for the last year in a half."  Looking at her like she was crazy, "Why?"  "I was in a horrilbe abusive relationship and I was finally able to get out, thanks to Todd."  Jonny didn't know what to say, he started to but the words didn't come.  They sat there in awkward silence for what seemed like forever.  Finally Jenny broke the silence, "He wouldn't divorce me, I tried to convince him that it was for the best but he told me that the day he signed those papers would be the day he signed my death certificate.  So I packed up and ran, I am from Odessa and My dad is a business man in oil and I was going to school, but I didn't visit my mother in Illinois, when we first met, I didn't think we would ever see each other again.  I am so sorry, I will totally walk away and never bother you again." She started to walk away.  "Wait, you can't just say something like that and just leave."




She turned around, "But Jonny I can't put this on you, You are a good man, even if you don't see it, I do and I don't want you mixed in this."  "Did he sign the papers?"  "What?"  Jonny walked over to her, "Did he ever sign the papers?"  Her shoulders slumped, "No."  "That's too bad."  She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, she knew this was the end of the line.  "I am so glad I got to know you a little, before I....."  "No, where are you going?" he questioned as he put his hand on her shoulder, forcing her to look at him.  "I can't put you in this mess."




"I am in it and it's too bad that he said no, because you should be happy," he picked up his phone, "Al, listen Jenny is in trouble, I will explain later can she tag along."  "Jonny, you don't......" he put his index finger on her lips.  "Oh and we should probably talk to our attorney."

  1. I'm glad Jenny finally talked to Jonny. And I hope he can help her out.
    That might help him, too, if he's focused on someone else he's not as focused on his own issues. Maybe, lol.

  2. Let's hope you are right, Melissa. If Jonny and Jenny are meant to be, maybe she will kick his butt if he does drugs. Maybe.............

    Thanks for reading Melissa!
