chapter 1

A/N.: '....." -means flashback
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*- I've been over you for
some time now baby
I don't miss your kiss
Like before now
Anymore now
If you ask me how I'm doin'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

..." No, Justin! We are not going to do this! We can't do this to each
other anymore. You can't do this to me anymore. Go home and get your
memory back and live happily ever after!"

"Irish! Wait!"


"Justin, I take back what I said. I want you to just forget me!"

Crackkkkkkk! SPLASHH!

"AHHH!"

"IRISH!" Justin screamed into the dark as he sat up! He began to
shiver from the cold sweat that drenched his upper body. He let his
eyes focus as he began to relax and lay back down. It had been six
motnhs since had told her he'd see her later. He called when he could
at first, but life began to fall back into old routines.

The winter had finally gone away and the world he lived in was now a
late spring. He turned on his side and listen to the radio, trying to
go back to sleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm fine
All I needed was a little time
So if you think that
I'll still need ya baby
I really don't know why
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

....She closed her eyes and listened to music as she stood underneath
the warm water and remember last night, especially what happened as
she fell asleep. Water dripped on her, like drops from the showerhead.
Justin stood outside the shower and watched her form stand under the
water with her face being covered in hundreds of little drops. He took
a deep ,silent breath and stepped inside with her.

Irish didn't hear him ,but felt his arms slide around her waist. She
turned in his arm and moved so he could get some water on him.He
closed his eyes also and held her tightly......


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh baby
Since you left me You might
think that my worlds' been torn apart
But if you see me
Baby you'll see that nothin's broken
Nothin's broken but my heart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Irish tossed and turned, trying to force the images away. Her eyes
opened up as she felt a sharp pain in her side. She screamed as she
sat up ,punching her pillow. She snuggled her head back onto the
pillow and sighed as she drifted off listening to the clock radio
,near her bed.



...."Irish?! Can you come to bathroom? There seems to be a problem."
Irish sighed and headed to the bathroom door and opened it and gasped...
."W-What seems to be the problem?"

...Justin stepped from the shadow to walk up behind her and turn her
to face him. "The problem is that you needed to be in that warm,
relaxing tub twenty minutes ago." He smiled...


Irish smiled as she turned over slowly on her left side and remembered
another memory.


...Justin laid her down as they started to kiss deeper. He kissed her
all over her body as he listen to her seductive moans. Each moan made
his manhood grow, until he instantly knew he was ready.

He was about to enter inside her, when Irish rolled over with him. She
ended up on top of him and she helped guide him inside of her body.

Justin's hands freely roamed upwards on her body. He wanted to
preserve the feel of her skin, her breasts, her lips, her butt. He wished
right then that he could love her forever, instead of just the moment
in time they have now......


Justin sighed and smiled a little as he remembered their first time
together. He opned his eyes to let the tears fall. He knew JC was
right in letting her go. But he still was in love with her. He
couldn't beleived when he tried to call her last week. He got an
automated message saying her number was disconnected.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You won't see no tears in my eyes now baby
If you think I'm sad that you're gone now
Then you're wrong now
If you ask I'll say I'm happy
I'm free
Tell ya
That's the way I wanna be
& all those nights we shared together baby
Well they don't mean a thing
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Irish sat up after she began to cry. She tried to stop loving him. But
nothing worked. And this last thing she did, it didn't work. But the
damage was done and there was no way out. Unless she tell the truth.
She nudged the body sleeping next to her. "John, I need to tell you
something." A pair of brown eyes opened up and looked at her will
tears in her eyes. "What? Is it the baby?!" He sat up quickly and put
a hand to her belly.

Irish nodded. "I got my sonogram back and the date wasn't what I
thought it was." John rubbed his eyes and yawmed. "What ,does that mean?"

Irish looked at him as the tears flowed faster."It's not your baby.."



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh baby
Since you left me
You might think that my
worlds' been torn apart
But if you see me
Baby you'll see that nothin's broken
Nothin's broken but my heart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Justin got up and walked around the new house he bought for himself in
Orlando. He was glad that last hurricane hit his old one, so he could
move out ot the end of the suburbs ,near the ocean. Total privacy.
Since he came back from the mountain, he wanted to spend more time in
Florida.


The secluded area reminded him of Irish's home. Hidden away from the
world. Just like his love for her. Just like she was from him.
He opened the back door that faced the water. He let the cool air hit
his chest as he made a silently prayer for the answer to it all. And
then he made a silent wish to have her in his life again



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh baby
Since you left me
You might think that my
worlds' been torn apart
But if you see me
Baby you'll see that nothin's broken
Nothin's broken but my heart
(Repeat to end)
