Collide
Kyle's hart-, hart pounded as he raced back home. He welcomed the sheer adrenaline of the run. It granted him temporary relief of the pain he'd been enduring for months. He ran a million possible scenarios in his head that would allow him to hold Jessi again. Only one seemed to pan out. He slowed his running to a stop as he found himself facing his home. He huffed out of breath once again overcome door the melancholy of his lonely predicament.
No Heartbeats He thought.
He slowly entered the house, and felt the color drain from his face. He closed his eyes unintentionally embracing the petrification. He knew what he was going to do. He'd made up his mind - which terrified him even more. He had but to wait for his other half.
What if...what if she doesn't listen? He pondered as he paced the hall back and forth.
He finally came to a stop, gripped the bottom of the stair railing, huffed a convulsive breath, and gazed aimlessly around the dark house. He removed his jas and tensely made his way upstairs with pressed lips and a nerve racking pain in his stomach. He arrived at his destination, and took a deep breath as he sat in preparation. He beheld his shaking hand but knew he was where he wanted to be. And so he waited.
30 minuten passed. Jessi dragged her feet toward the house cloaked in misery as Xander drove off into the night. She missed him already - her unfailing oxygen. She knew without a doubt that she was in love with Xander, but the ghost of her love for Kyle refused to relent from haunting her. Depressed and breaking inside, the tears began to fall as she neared the door. She fiercely wiped her tears one eye after the other as she struggled with her keys to open the door. It proved to be a difficult task with flooded eyes and blurred vision. Success - she pushed the door in with a feeble twist of the handle and entered the house. She paid no mind to the darkness as she once again absently dropped her things on the floor and slowly made her way up the steps. The tears dried away as she made her way down the hallway with a zombie like grimace of misery. Then a trademark heartbeat pounded in Jessi's ears. She produced a frown of fear and confusion as she opened the door to her room, to find Kyle sitting on her bed...Waiting.
"Hi." Success - a confident facade.
Jessi's exhaustion reverberated through her shaky cracking voice. Worse off, she was unsure if she could handle Kyle at the moment. "What are u doing in my room?"
Kyle ordered with newfound strength. "We need to talk."
"Look, Kyle, I....need to...think. I had a rough night and have a lot on my mind." Jessi moaned out the words as she took off her earrings and turned to face her dresser in an attempt to hide her vulnerable grimace.
Kyle's face firmed up in confidence and certainty. "No."
She nearly whispered in a broken breath as she turned her head toward him in disbelief of his retort. "What?"
"I'm not going anywhere until u to talk to me." Kyle was unsure of where his strength for persistence was coming from, but he desperately clung to it with the shred of hope that remained in him.
Jessi stiffened as she fully turned to face Kyle. "I have nothing to say right now." Her eyes wondered sideways as her tough composure weakened. "Please just leave." She began to tear up. No. Not now she thought; humiliated door her lack of control.
Kyle stood up and walked over to Jessi until they were head to head. His hart-, hart raced, but a newfound faithful peace ran through him; as he began to carry out his plan that he came to trust meer and more.
"You don't have to say anything." Kyle held out his hands to Jessi nervously, hanging onto a shred of hope. His mouth slightly opened and his brows angled up. His desperation was bare for Jessi to see. "I want to toon u something."
"Kyle." Jessi weakly protested as her eyes could only bare to gaze as high as Kyle's chest...
"Please - then I promise I'll go." Kyle's eyes remained glued to Jessi's.
Jessi's armor then suddenly melted away. Her tears stopped as she found Kyle's desperate eyes, took his hands, and closed her eyes choosing to trust him - one last time.
This was it. Kyle's chance to prove his irrefutable truth to Jessi. His focused melted as he couldn't help but notice how breathtakingly beautiful she was. Yet as much as he wanted to hold her, he had to wait; and see if his plan would be successful. So he wasted no meer time. He refocused on her face and his plan as he closed his eyes. He fought his buckling knees, racing heart, and sweaty palms as he opened up the channels of his being to her. A flash of light then crashed into Jessi's mind and she began to see what Kyle saw; feel what Kyle felt. She saw every kiss, every stare, every thought, and every emotion. Their connection was stronger than ever. She began to understand - it was different this time. Every shred of Kyle's attachment to Amanda had been burned. There was only Jessi. There would only ever be, Jessi. She let go of Kyle's hands and opened her now tear filled eyes, and met Kyle's awaiting eyes. She made no sound as her mouth froze open in utter awe. She just kept breathing as the tears flooded her trance-like face. Her eyes then met the ground - it was difficult to comprehend what she had just beheld.
Kyle slowly and cautiously gripped her chin, and pulled her face up to meet his. "Do u see?" zei Kyle in a cracked voice. He then leaned in, gripped her face between his hands and his face slowly neared hers. Then with a leap of faith, eyes closed, Kyle slipped his bottom lip between Jessi's lips and rested his top, boven lip on hers. Jessi's hands were hesitant at first, but then they met the small of Kyle's back as she locked his lips with hers in return. She found a sure grip as she embraced him tightly.
Their hearts sped as they began to kiss violently; desperately. Car alarms sirened in the background, fireworks emitted from the lights in the house and the city lights surrounding. Their lips parted but their eyes remain closed. They both gasped for breath and tears continued to stream down Jessi's face.
"I'm in with love u Jessi...I love you..." His words came out sure and painful, for Kyle had been holding in that truth for a long time. It was liberating and terrifying to let the love he felt burst out for Jessi to see.
Jessi sniffed in a sob through her congested nose. "I'm scared, Kyle." Her voice shook as she confessed.
"I'm not going anywhere, I promise. I'm yours..." Kyle huffed out a quick smile. "I'm yours, Jessi." A tear leaked out from his closed welled up eyes. His lips quivered into a euphoric grin but his sure hands would not leave her face.
Kessi's eyes opened simultaneously and met one another.
Jessi found herself smiling..... "Ok."
He huffed in and out utterly amazed. "Ok...?"
Jessi wrapped her arms around Kyle and rested her head on his chest. She sighed out a smile. Kyle's hands went mid air, stunned beyond comprehension. As he began to fathom Jessi's aching love for him, his hands found their way around her neck and shoulders. Torso's touching, they rested their heads on one another.
Jessi nearly whispered with an almost childish smile, "I love u too Kyle Trager."
Kyle chuckled. They remained tightly embraced. Kyle's hands traced Jessi's back and found their way into her hair. They slightly pulled back and Kyle met Jessi's eyes yet again. He exhaled a smile in anticipation and leaned his head toward hers. Jessi smiled and her eyes closed as she leaned in concurrence.
Then a gasp: "Wait." Jessi stiffened with wide eyes and a dropped jaw.
Kyle inquired with a lingering grin. "What is it?"
Jessi struggled to say the word..."Xander."
Kyle's smile broke and he forced his mouth closed. It's as if Xander's very name physically pushed Kyle's chest in. He looked down without a word to reply.
Jessi grabbed Kyle's face between her hands and made his eyes meet hers. "I mean I need to break up with him. Technically now I'm in two relationships, heh." Jessi half smiled. It hurt her knowing she would lose Xander. But she knew without a doubt - it would never be anyone but Kyle. Xander gave her air, but she was never going to feel a completion with him. Kyle was her other half. She'd always known it. She just came to the realization she would never be able to have him replaced. Without him, there would ever be a dull painful lingering hole pounding away in her.
Jessi caressed his face awaiting a reply. Kyle forced out an understanding smile to shadow his lingering insecurity. Yet he was relieved to know that Jessi would end things with Xander.
Jessi's hands then slid off of Kyle as her grin widened. She sighed in elation, turned, and paced toward her window.
Kyle moaned his words in a near childish manner, "Wait, you're leaving now?" He'd waited so long to feel Jessi again; all he wanted to do was soak in his new Chapter with her.
Jessi whipped her head around with one leg out the window, and grinned as she saw Kyle's desperate grimace. "I need to be able to kiss u without any moral kinks in my mind. I'll be back before u know it." Jessi smiled a big smile and leapt off.
Kyle knew Jessi couldn't hear him, but he replied anyway: "I'll be waiting." He missed Jessi already and anticipated her return soon. He sat on her bed and waited. minuten passed. Kyle stared at Jessi's alarm clock. 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, 4. With each uur that passed, he paced back and forth and found different places to sit. He thought about going after her in fear that Xander had changed her mind. It took nearly everything in him to stay put, but he decided to trust her - to trust his connection to her. He was still able to feel that she was on his side - that she was now his. It was a feeling he'd missed for a long time; and that was all he needed to remain still.
**********************************
Jessi ran all the way to Xander's house. She knew a familiar shortcut. She threw rocks at his window until he opened it and let one slip in.
"Ouch!" He whined.
Jessi winced bearing teeth. "Sorry!" She whispered.
"Did u run all the way over here??" He whispered back.
He came down to meet Jessi face to face and he let out a sigh of anticipation when he saw the transparent look in Jessi's eyes. He knew what was coming.
Xander was understanding as Jessi anticipated, but her hart-, hart ached knowing that she'd have to cut her ties with him. She saw the heartbreak in his eyes, though he tried his best to conceal it for her sake. So they took their time as they talked - about everything; her future, his future, and they exchanged their ritual witty banter for the last time. He was her best friend, but she made her choice, and knew she couldn't simply be his friend - at least not for a while.
They embraced for the final time. Xander held the embrace for longer than Jessi anticipated. Suddenly he slightly pushed Jessi back with a firm grip on her shoulders and crashed his lips into a quick kiss. Jessi's eyes closed and her brows were raised in shock, but she didn't fight it.
He ripped his lips away quickly and gazed at a shocked Jessi as she began to smile. "Sorry. Couldn't help myself. Just...call it a goodbye kiss?" Xander offered, embarrassed door his desperate action.
Jessi huffed out a small smile. "Goodbye Xander." Her smile broke into a sad grimace. Then she turned and ran, afraid of letting him witness the tear that was making its way out of her left eye.
Missing Kyle's arms, she ran back knowing she'd feel complete once her soul stood close to his. She finally arrived late into the night and quietly climbed back through her window.
"Kyle?" She whispered.
She found him sleeping in her bed. She smiled, changed into her black silk Capris and tank top, boven pajamas, and cuddled up beside him, watching him sleep.
Her lips lightly pressed up against his bottom lip - "Goodnight Kyle." The night rolled door and Kessi's arms ended up around one another. They breathed in unison, connected body, mind, and soul, never separated as the rest of the night crept by...
Kyle's eyes peeled open in the dark when he sensed Jessi's heartbeat. He grinned in relief that she was back. Back for good. He watched her for a while in awe, exhaled a soundless sigh, then allowed his lids to cover his eyes once again.
******************************************************
Morning lit the room. Jessi couldn't sense Kyle's heartbeat. Her eyes snapped open. "Kyle?" She was alone in her bed. "Kyle..." She echoed absently. His absence was unsettling. Jessi wondered to his room and saw him nearly dressed as he buttoned his shirt.
"I didn't hear u leave." Jessi stood at the door trying her best to mask her fear.
Caught off guard, he turned to face her with a nervous grimace. As happy as he was, he still had to get used to the fact that they were finally together. "I left just before dawn. If anyone saw us..."
"I know." Jessi's eyes met the floor with a slightly sad grimace. She worried he was having doubts.
Kyle grinned encouragingly at Jessi as he walked towards her. He reached his hand over her shoulder to push the door shut behind her. His face was then inches from hers as he sighed out an eye squinting, teeth bearing smile. His eyes bore into hers as his hands found their way to her face.
Jessi's eyes widened in vraag of the way he felt, but instinctively combed her hands around his waist with urgency.
They tilted their heads side door side in opposite directions as they leaned in further.
Kyle finally pressed into Jessi and their lips mingled into a soft kiss. Their lips slowly tightened together as they held the kiss addictively pressing their heads closer together. They'd missed each other terribly. They felt as though they'd reunited all over again. After lingering, their lips slowly unglued. "Good morning." Kyle moaned flirtatiously. It came surprisingly natural to Kyle.
Jessi smiled in relief then perked up in enthusiasm. "I have a plan!"
Kyle kinked his lip and raised his brows. "A plan?" He was slightly disappointed. He'd hoped they would kiss again and figured talking can wait This had better not be about Latnok he thought as he pressed his lips together impatiently.
Jessi began,"I know we can't be together while I'm living here. But we're graduating in less than a month."
Kyle stared blankly. He wasn't following. His gaze flipped back and forth between Jessi's eyes and lips. He had a hard time holding himself back from kissing her again. But he also knew that Jessi presented a legitimate problem. So he sighed, and and waited as she spoke.
Jessi pressed on. "I'll challenge my diploma exams, get a job and take an accelerated degree program in any universiteit I want."
Kyle frowned in hesitance as he bore his eyes into Jessi's.
She reasoned as she sensed his uncertainty. "You know we can do whatever we want. Have any job we want? Our possibilities are virtually limitless." Jessi smiled her wily confident smile.
"So, you're leaving?" Kyle seemed disappointed.
"I'll get an apartment near by, u can come over whenever u like." Jessi tried to cheer him up with those words and gave him a hopeful smile.
He knew he was losing the battle, but he wanted her to know that their fate didn't have to rest on her shoulders alone. "Jessi, u don't have t-...."
"I want to. I want to make this work. This is your family, so don't feel guilty for living here. I'm fine leaving. I can take care of myself," Jessi nodded as she zei "I promise."
Kyle remained silent as he stared into Jessi's eyes - he was giving in. He already knew it was pointless to argue with Jessi when she had that familiar look of determination in her eyes.
"Kyle, do want to be with me?" Jessi asked bluntly with a small degree of confidence in her voice.
Kyle huffed out a half smile. "You know I do."
Jessi smiled at his undeniable certainty. "Then let me do this."
Kessi stared at one another for a while with their arms around one another, as they anticipated their futures, now melded together.
**********End of Season 4**********
Epilogue - If Kyle XY had meer seasons (additional scenes/narration/dialogue...
They ended up telling the Tragers about Jessi's plans to move. Weeks passed. Jessi aced her exams and enrolled in a local Medical School. Kyle soon followed....
Kessi would have challenged their medical exams and continued most of their classes online to avoid traveling to school. They would have tried to get most of their Clinical Trials together: Jessi would have eventually specialized in Genetic Research, and Kyle would specialize in Pediatric Medicine. Otherwise she and Kyle would have spent their time developing their relationship...
Months passed; years passed; and Kessi continued building their careers. Their bond had solidified meer than ever. They thrived in their matured relationship and beamed in their success. Upon graduation, Kyle took Jessi back to the forest where it all began. They reached the edge of the infamous dam, and Kyle had the area lit with candles and bedded with flowers. Jessi gasped and held back tears as she chuckled uncontrollably.
Kyle reached in his pocket and revealed a ring. Jessi's mouth flew open. "Oh my G-" She choked.
With his eyes ever fixed in Jessi's, Kyle crouched down on one knee. "Jessi, I love you. I love u meer than anything." Kyle struggled to keep his voice from shaking. He took in a deep breath. "That night, when u gave me a seconde chance, I knew my future was you." He smiled out a large sigh as he beheld the woman of his dreams. "You're the love of my life-"
"Yes...." Jessi interrupted as she beheld the ring in a tearful trance.
Kyle didn't expect Jessi to cut in so soon. He had it all planned out but he should have known that his unpredictable love would surprise him somehow. "I wasn't finish-"
Jessi frowned slightly. "Sorry. You're proposing right?" Jessi suddenly worried she'd misread his intentions.
Kyle chuckled with beaming eyes. "Well, yes, but-"
"Then YES!" She exclaimed with a large smile.
Kyle huffed out a large smile himself and felt his vision blur as the tears began to fill his eyes. He grasped Jessi's hand and slipped on the ring that was now hers. It was a silver band with embedded diamonds half way around. The interior had the words "KXY & JXX Forever Bound" engraved.
Kyle pulled Jessi's hand to his lips and pressed a long kiss, then another on Jessi's finger that now bore their wedding ring. He then slowly rose to his feet and crashed his lips into Jessi's with his arms clutched around her torso. She chuckled through her nose and reached her hands onto his face. As their lips parted, their foreheads met as they soaked in their mutual euphoria.
After Kessi's wedding, they zei goodbye to the Tragers - and America. They decided to travel using their abilities and their careers to do good in the world. They sent post cards often. At the end of the series finale, the Tragers received a post card with a picture of Kessi. They had someone take a picture of them standing with their right sides facing the camera. Kyle stood behind Jessi as they both held her stomach - she was 6 months pregnant.
**********************************
Kessi overlooked a river in India hand in hand as the warm wind laced their faces..."What's next, husband?" Jessi uttered softly as she rested her free hand on her stomach.
Kyle exhaled a smile and slowly shook his head. "Everything else..." He was never happier than he was in that moment.
They looked around them - a world of countries awaiting miracles.
End of Series...for now :)

They tilted their heads side door side in opposite directions as they leaned in further.
Kyle finally pressed into Jessi and their lips mingled into a soft kiss. Their lips slowly tightened together as they held the kiss addictively pressing their heads closer together. They'd missed each other terribly. They felt as though they'd reunited all over again. After lingering, their lips slowly unglued. "Good morning." Kyle moaned flirtatiously. It came surprisingly natural to Kyle.
Jessi smiled in relief then perked up in enthusiasm. "I have a plan!"
Kyle kinked his lip and raised his brows. "A plan?" He was slightly disappointed. He'd hoped they would kiss again and figured talking can wait This had better not be about Latnok he thought as he pressed his lips together impatiently.
Jessi began,"I know we can't be together while I'm living here. But we're graduating in less than a month."
Kyle stared blankly. He wasn't following. His gaze flipped back and forth between Jessi's eyes and lips. He had a hard time holding himself back from kissing her again. But he also knew that Jessi presented a legitimate problem. So he sighed, and and waited as she spoke.
Jessi pressed on. "I'll challenge my diploma exams, get a job and take an accelerated degree program in any universiteit I want."
Kyle frowned in hesitance as he bore his eyes into Jessi's.
She reasoned as she sensed his uncertainty. "You know we can do whatever we want. Have any job we want? Our possibilities are virtually limitless." Jessi smiled her wily confident smile.
"So, you're leaving?" Kyle seemed disappointed.
"I'll get an apartment near by, u can come over whenever u like." Jessi tried to cheer him up with those words and gave him a hopeful smile.
He knew he was losing the battle, but he wanted her to know that their fate didn't have to rest on her shoulders alone. "Jessi, u don't have t-...."
"I want to. I want to make this work. This is your family, so don't feel guilty for living here. I'm fine leaving. I can take care of myself," Jessi nodded as she zei "I promise."
Kyle remained silent as he stared into Jessi's eyes - he was giving in. He already knew it was pointless to argue with Jessi when she had that familiar look of determination in her eyes.
"Kyle, do want to be with me?" Jessi asked bluntly with a small degree of confidence in her voice.
Kyle huffed out a half smile. "You know I do."
Jessi smiled at his undeniable certainty. "Then let me do this."
Kessi stared at one another for a while with their arms around one another, as they anticipated their futures, now melded together.
**********End of Season 4**********
Epilogue - If Kyle XY had meer seasons (additional scenes/narration/dialogue...
They ended up telling the Tragers about Jessi's plans to move. Weeks passed. Jessi aced her exams and enrolled in a local Medical School. Kyle soon followed....
Kessi would have challenged their medical exams and continued most of their classes online to avoid traveling to school. They would have tried to get most of their Clinical Trials together: Jessi would have eventually specialized in Genetic Research, and Kyle would specialize in Pediatric Medicine. Otherwise she and Kyle would have spent their time developing their relationship...
Months passed; years passed; and Kessi continued building their careers. Their bond had solidified meer than ever. They thrived in their matured relationship and beamed in their success. Upon graduation, Kyle took Jessi back to the forest where it all began. They reached the edge of the infamous dam, and Kyle had the area lit with candles and bedded with flowers. Jessi gasped and held back tears as she chuckled uncontrollably.
Kyle reached in his pocket and revealed a ring. Jessi's mouth flew open. "Oh my G-" She choked.
With his eyes ever fixed in Jessi's, Kyle crouched down on one knee. "Jessi, I love you. I love u meer than anything." Kyle struggled to keep his voice from shaking. He took in a deep breath. "That night, when u gave me a seconde chance, I knew my future was you." He smiled out a large sigh as he beheld the woman of his dreams. "You're the love of my life-"
"Yes...." Jessi interrupted as she beheld the ring in a tearful trance.
Kyle didn't expect Jessi to cut in so soon. He had it all planned out but he should have known that his unpredictable love would surprise him somehow. "I wasn't finish-"
Jessi frowned slightly. "Sorry. You're proposing right?" Jessi suddenly worried she'd misread his intentions.
Kyle chuckled with beaming eyes. "Well, yes, but-"
"Then YES!" She exclaimed with a large smile.
Kyle huffed out a large smile himself and felt his vision blur as the tears began to fill his eyes. He grasped Jessi's hand and slipped on the ring that was now hers. It was a silver band with embedded diamonds half way around. The interior had the words "KXY & JXX Forever Bound" engraved.
Kyle pulled Jessi's hand to his lips and pressed a long kiss, then another on Jessi's finger that now bore their wedding ring. He then slowly rose to his feet and crashed his lips into Jessi's with his arms clutched around her torso. She chuckled through her nose and reached her hands onto his face. As their lips parted, their foreheads met as they soaked in their mutual euphoria.
After Kessi's wedding, they zei goodbye to the Tragers - and America. They decided to travel using their abilities and their careers to do good in the world. They sent post cards often. At the end of the series finale, the Tragers received a post card with a picture of Kessi. They had someone take a picture of them standing with their right sides facing the camera. Kyle stood behind Jessi as they both held her stomach - she was 6 months pregnant.
**********************************
Kessi overlooked a river in India hand in hand as the warm wind laced their faces..."What's next, husband?" Jessi uttered softly as she rested her free hand on her stomach.
Kyle exhaled a smile and slowly shook his head. "Everything else..." He was never happier than he was in that moment.
They looked around them - a world of countries awaiting miracles.
End of Series...for now :)

Thanks to everyone for all the kind reviews! Perhaps someday I'll continue onto a new saga - Kessi and a half!
