Tuck Everlasting Jesse Novels & Stories

It probably came with age and living. “I didn’t mean to be rude,” he said as he turned to look at me. “It just that Jess disappeared for a week and when she returns two strangers come with her.” “Who said they were strangers?” my aunt snapped. “Well… I…” he stammered and then suddenly his eyes flew open, “You’ve got breasts!” I was mortified.

His secret, wasn’t mine to tell. Troy took off and Jesse went to use the bathroom. I took my girl and laid out on a deck chair. “Are you nervous,” I asked, as I stroked her arm. “Yeah, not gonna lie. My dad just gets his way. He’s a master manipulator for sure,” she said, sighing. Jesse came back out a minute later. “All right I’m going to teleport to South Africa, buy a SAT phone. That way we’re like all over the place. Then I’m gonna hit up Gwennie’s shack in the bush. Once I get the phone straight, I’ll pull for ya,” Jesse said.

“The photos of us? They’re in there. I couldn’t look at them, but I couldn’t throw them out either.” Elias opened the drawer. Inside were ten or twelve prints. Polaroids. A wedding photo. One from their road trip to Arizona, all sunburn and smiles. He held one up. “I still wore that leather jacket. Even though it was summer.” Lucas laughed. “You were stubborn.” “You still loved me.” “I still do,” Lucas said softly. “But I love this version of you more.” In the late afternoon, Jesse showed up. No warning. Just a knock and a sigh when Lucas opened the door.

Jesse leaned against the doorway, one hand tucked casually in his pocket, the other holding a glass of whiskey. He looked at me like I was the only thing in the world he wanted to see. I smiled, feeling warmth bloom in my chest. "Just remembering," I said. He crossed the balcony in two long strides and wrapped his free arm around my waist, pulling me close. "Good memories, I hope," he murmured against my hair. I nodded, resting my head against his chest, listening to the steady beat of his heart. "The best," I whispered.

I tell her seeing her bad face. “Don't worry, I know how to resurface.”
