Meg watched him talk, hanging on everyword, but it wasn't what she wanted to hear. Of course, Meghan wasn't entirely sure what it was that she DID want to hear, but she knew she would when she heard it.
It was her turn to speak, but Meghan didn't know what to say. "How..." she started slowly. "How do I know it won't be the same thing all over again? I've know you since we were kids Jas, if things get tough, you just stand there and hope it fixes itself..." she took a deep breath and looked back at Jasper. I don't know if I can believe that won't happen again Jas..."

"If you don't want to, you don't have to believe it. I'm not going to force you," Jasper said hiding the pain in his voice. "I just wanted to come by and tell you. I know that I've messed up in the past. I know it, and I regret the fact that I wanted things to fix themselves. I know that they won't because you have to do it yourself if you want anything done right."
He sighed. "It was just important that I came by here and tell you that because it has been eating at me." Jasper thought about leaving at that moment. He knew that Meghan wasn't going to believe him right away, but it was a start, wasn't it?

Meghan listened to Jasper, nodding. She wanted to, she wanted to believe him. She just had that stupid nagging in the back of her head that it wouldn't work, that it would just be a repeat of their relationship while at Hogwarts.
When he finished, it looked like Jasper was about ready to leave. "Jas," she said quickly. "I don't want to lose my best friend over this," she said ernestly. "I think though, I'll need a little more..." Proof? maybe...Reasurement? Meghan wasn't sure, this was all so confusing.

Even if it pained him to hear the words come out of his own mouth, he said them. "You're not going to lose your best friend. I'll still be here." Jasper swallowed. She needed a little more what? "Look, I just wanted you to know that. I know that you're iffy about anything more than friends with me because what happened during school. I don't blame you. I didn't fight to keep you when I should have. I pushed you away, when I should have been pulling you closer."
The notion to leave came up again. Although, what would Meghan think if he just got up and bolted out the door? Jasper was going to stay for a few more minutes to see how things were. If she didn't want anything more, Jasper would remain friends with her and not bring up the topic again.

The promise that they'd stay friends comforted Megan more than she thought it would. Meghan took a deep breath. "Okay..." she said, nodding again and looking away for a moment. "I...I need to think about this," she said. Meg wanted to be sure with herself before making a decision either way.

"Take your time," Jasper said giving a weak smile. All of the confidence that he had walked over to her apartment with was pretty much gone, but he put up a front. He wasn't going to rush her into something, and then she decided to change her mind.
"Well, while you think about it, there's a few things at the shop that I should go do before I open tomorrow." Jasper took today off so that he would have time to do what he needed at the shop and talk to Meghan. One of those two things had be accomplished. "So, I should go do that..." He paused for a moment. "I guess I'll see you later then."

"Oh," Meghan said. "Alright," things were feeling awkard, but Meghan figured it would just be a matter of time before things were back to normal, based on her dicision of course....
She walked Jasper to her door. "Thanks for comming by," she said. "It meant a lot Jas," she said. It meant a lot? It meant the world, she was missing him terribly. She hugged him tight. "I'll see you soon, okay?"

Jasper walked with her to the door. "Yeah, no problem," he said with a weak smile. Her next words hit him and he wasn't sure what to say. "Um, it meant a lot that you listened." Jasper did feel slightly awkward, but then something happened that he wasn't expecting.
Meghan hugged him tight and Jasper put his own arms around her, hugging her back. "Yeah. I'll see you soon. Bye Megs. Don't hurt yourself to much while you're alone." He attempted to joke with her a little. He gave another smile, this one a little wider. Jasper opened her door and took a step out and waved to her before heading down the hall.

She stepped back and waved as Jasper headed down the hall. Meghan stood, staring at the door, her mind already buzzing. Then all the sudden, "Jasper!" she called, running out into the hall to catch up with him. "Look," she said once she caught up with him. "I trust you, I have to trust you you're my best friend who can I trust if I can't trust my best friend?" She started really fast, her heart was beeting a million miles per hour. "And I know that it may be difficult to start with, but I like you, I never stopped likeing you after we broke up and well..." deep breath. "I guess what I'm trying to say is that if your willing to, I'm willing to give us a second chance." she smiled at him, but then narrowed her eyes and pointed her finger. "But so help me god Jasper McNeil, if you hurt me again..." she couldn't even come up with a decent threat her head was spinning so fast. She just smiled sheepishly again and looked at him. "So," she said slowly. "What do ya' say?"

He almost made it to the end of the hall when he heard his name. Jasper turned around and needless to say, he was a little surprise that Meghan already came up with something. He thought that she was going to take a little longer time to think about it.
As she was talking fast, Jasper tried to understand. He smiled widely. A second chance? His own heart started beating faster. The smile he had on his face was wiped away. "Megs, I wouldn't think about ever hurting you again." He reached out and touched her cheek while another smile crossed his face. "And I say," Jasper let that trail off as he leaned down to kiss her.

Meghan sighed, a smile spreading across her face at Jasper's reponce. Okay, this was good, they were trying again. This was good...
Her thoughts were interrupted as Jasper leaned down to kiss her. Meghan rised up on her tip-toes and wrapped her arms around his neck, closing the distance between them.

He wrapped his arms around Meghan and picked her up easily. Jasper continued to kiss her as he spun her around happily, and then placed her gently back on her feet.
A smile sketched its way back across his face. "Do you want to go with me to the shop? I'm sure that I can find something or another for you to do. Besides, I liked having you help me before."

"Sure," Meghan said. She loved working at the shop, and it gave her more time to be with Jasper, even if they were working. She laced her fingures through his and smiled. "You know, you REALLY should just give me a job there..." she teased. "I mean, I'm at the shop SO often..." Meg laughed.

He laughed. "I suppose I could," Jasper began, "besides, you being there could help speed time along." He gave her a wink. "And you do help me all the time, so basically its like you already work there." He looked down at their hands and looked up again.
"Since we're going to the shop, do you need to go back into your apartment for anything before we go?"

Meghan looked down, realizeing she wasn't wearing any shoes. Her purse and wand were also in her apartment, where she had left the door open and unlocked. She laughed. "Yeah, I'll be right back," she said, still laughing as she turned on her heels and headed back to the apartment.
Meg got her things and locked her apartment door, then headed back to Jasper and taking his hand again, smiling. "Alright, ready." she smiled.

Jasper grinned as Meghan went back to her apartment. He knew that if he hadn't said anything, Meghan would have probably gone to the store without her shoes and her apartment door standing wide open.
Once she returned Jasper offered her his hand to take. "Well now, that's much better. Wouldn't want you walking around in the cold without shoes on."

"Well if I did end up with no shoes on, you'd have to carry me," Meghan laughed, taking his hand in hers. It wouldn't be the first time Meghan left her apartment without her shoes...or her wand...or her keys...or her purse...
She wasnt forgetful, Meghan just rushed around a lot.

"Yeah, I would carry you, but your feet would freeze," said Jasper leading her down the hall. "Now, maybe you won't rush around so much and not forget everything. Although, I do get a good laugh as you do run around..." Jasper gave her a huge grin.
"And you can help me keep the store in order since you are hired after all. Today is the day that you start work."

Meghan clapped her hands excitedly. "YAY! I have a job!" she said, laughing. "I must say, that was easier than I thought it would be, getting a job." Meg smiled. "I must know the owner or something." She put a thoughtful look on her face, as though pondering the situation at hand.
