You know me, You know what I can do

Here is my entry into the crossover to correct our writers block.
To Meg and everyone else... a quiet moment with Jared and Megs.
Enjoy!!


Jared took Meg’s hand and pulled her down the boardwalk, despite her confusion. She arched a dark brow at him as he tugged.
“Come on, I thought we’d go sit, and do nothing” he told her as he stopped, catching her look of concern.
“Where? Why?”
He pointed to the spot she’d taken him under the boardwalk. “Down there. Because we should.”
A nod was given before she slipped down there, careful of where she stepped. He was right behind her and then they were perched on the small spot that they called their own. It was mid afternoon and he’d decided that he needed to talk to her, to just sit and talk about anything and nothing.
“You looked like you didn’t trust me” he said as he slipped next to her, snuggling her against him.
“I wasn’t sure what the reason was” she explained. “Why are we here really?”
He looked at her, his deep blue eyes locking with hers.
“I just wanted to talk, to spend time with you, just us, no band, no anything” he told her quietly.
Her distrust quickly faded as she leaned into the protection of his arms. She could smell the soft faded scent of soap, and even a hint of the syrup he’d used on the pancakes in the morning. “Ok.. let’s talk” she whispered, not really wanting to ruin what seemed so perfect.
It took him a few minutes before he spoke, the arm around her traced soft lines up and down the material of her shirt, drawing his own comfort from the act as much as she drew from his touch.
“What do you see in the future?” he asked.
“College I guess, film school” she replied quietly. Blue eyes searched her face as he watched her.
“Got any room for a musician in there?”
“Oh, I don’t know, is he good looking?”
“Stunning actually.”
“I’m intrigued, tell me more,” she teased.
“Talented musician, and not a bad actor too. He has issues at times, gets kinda out of his head.”
“Sounds perfect to me,” She said leaning over to press her lips to his in a soft kiss. He sank his hands into her hair, holding her head there as he kissed her. He pulled away, grinning.
“So tell me, besides film school.. what else do ya see?”
“I dunno, I never really think about it. Seems the more I think about it, I get a little freaked out. I need to live in the here and now,” her hand drew small circles on the rock, dirt being redirected with her fingers.
“I hope maybe you have room for me in there” he said as he pushed her hair back from her face.
“I’m sure it’s possible” she replied, her eyes lifting to gaze into his.
His eyes held so much emotion in them, if eyes were truly windows into the soul then she had a perfect view. She smiled, looking back out at the water once more.
“Tell me what you see in your future Jared.”
“I see more albums, maybe a few more Mtv awards, couple more tours” he laughed, stating the obvious. Meg rolled her eyes.
“Seriously, you think there’s room for me in your life?” she asked in a whisper. Jared turned her face to his, staring into her eyes.
“I see you. I see you smiling at me from behind the camera, I see you smiling while you stand on the side of the stage, and I see you there, smiling at me every morning when I wake up.”
Meg felt her heart beat faster at his words, her breath caught in her throat. It was the most beautiful thing anyone had ever said to her. She felt as if her chest couldn’t contain her heart as it swelled. The look on his face as he spoke those words made her want to cry. She’d never felt such love from one person, the words meaning so much to her.
“Really?” she managed to squeak out.
“Really Meg, I see you in my life, as a part of it for a long time… a very long time. I want you to follow your dreams, I just hope they include me.”
She nodded, unable to speak at his words. Her dreams did include him but how could she tell him without him seeing just how much it scared her, how badly she wanted it. She didn’t want to be clingy or needy, she wanted him.
“My dreams do include you, I guess that is what scares me,” she explained. He nodded wrapping an arm around her.
“To be honest, it scares me too. There’s a lot of things that I didn’t count on, things I still don’t know how to handle. I just know that I need you to be there, I need you to be in my life and I need to know you want me in yours.”
She looked at him and leaned her head against his chest, looking out at the water.
“I do want you in my life, I want you there.” She told him with a small voice. He pressed a kiss to the top of her head, resting his chin on her head.
This moment, he’d waited for, to know she wanted him, that he wasn’t guessing anymore, that he wasn’t reading the signs wrong. She did want him in her life and he had no intention of disappointing her, ever.
“Good… great” he whispered, smiling, even if she couldn’t see it.
