Look at the henrys henries henr h the hens

Can I make a request for Ice from WSS? Where Velma likes him and makes her think that he cheats and she tries to leave but then he catches her at the train station and stops her from leaving? Thanks and happy new year!!

(I looked up Ice’s real name and it’s Diesel Smith. Not to be confused with the other Jet named Diesel!)

Whoever says snow is a nightmare doesn’t know what they’re missing. Yes the wind is so cold my face hurts, yes my feet are ice cold numb. But it’s all worth it to see the bugs die. And along with the bugs my emotions feel just as lifeless. It’s amazing how a single moment can change someone. Sometimes it’s a fight, sometimes it’s an injury. For me it was a kiss.

I love Diesel Smith. A love skin-deep that I’d never betray. Apparently he had other ideas. 

The annual Snow Ball is supposed to be a magical event, one filled with fancy dresses and fun dancing. I wore a pretty dress, I danced along with Maria and Diana. I was so happy. Then I saw Ice, Diesel Smith, dressed handsomely in a nice suit. I was so looking forward to dancing with him. Next thing I know I turn around to find him locking lips with Velma Anderson.

That was two days ago. Two days for my heart to wither and die. My parents agreed that a fresh environment would do me some good so they arranged for me to visit my grandparents in Maine. Now that I’m at the station, still numb from the blizzard outside, all my feelings start tumbling through. How have I become this? Was I too stupid to trust him? Will I be able to handle homesickness-?

“Elaine!”

And now I’m even hearing Ice’s voice in my head.

“Elaine! Wait up!”

Scratch that. He’s running up from behind. Wait- what?

I turn around and see Ice racing towards me. Just keep going! It’s not worth it. I’m almost to the ticket counter-

Suddenly I feel someone grab my hand. He’s got real guts for showing his face!

Ice pants to catch his breath. “You never answered my calls. I went to your house and your folks said you was leaving.”

I yank my hand away and avoid his gaze. “Why would I answer your calls, Diesel? After the stunt you pulled it’s pretty obvious that I don’t want to hold onto what will make me sad. I’ve become the juiciest gossip, the laughing stock of all the goils at school, all because I wasn’t good enough for you.” I give one final nod to clarify my decision. “Goodbye, Ice.”

He keeps staggering after me as I walk down the hall. It’s after the holidays so there’s not much traffic. Maybe I can get a seat to myself-

“But- But honey I luv you!”

God, why do you have to make this so hard?

I take a deep breath and stop to grab the side counter to steady myself, still avoiding his gaze. “I thought you did too. Then I saw you there with Velma.” Fighting my nerves, I look up slowly. “I’ll miss you, Ice, but I will not be part of something like this. I will not be the other woman.”

Before I burst into tears I sprint onto the train just as the doors close. After quickly finding my seat I hear the train begin to start. I suppose now I should start looking for a temporary job once I get to Maine-

Tap tap!

A loud noise jerks my head up to see the maniac himself clinging outside my window.

“Please, Elaine? Just let me explain. Open the window!”

Now I really am crying. Hot tears stream down my cheeks and remind me of how much I’ve been holding back. I don’t know why I’m listening to him but sure enough I unlock the window to allow the Jet inside. The frigid air outside sends a chill down my spine and almost freezes my tears. Ice tumbles into my lap and I feel he’s just as cold.

“Just let go, Diesel!” I shove him off.

He’s quick to stand up and kneels in front of me. “Do you remember when we met?”

When we…? What’s he playing at?

“I’ll always remember. It was January, on your birthday. You were helping your dad with my car in his shop, and it was so cold the oil froze. Your dad said to keep working. I gave you my gloves, your hands were so cold…”

Ice sees I’ve started to calm down (even though I’m still mad) and he cautiously reaches his hands out to grab mine.

“Yours are cold.”

I bite my lip to keep a sob down. “Cold numbs pain. But I don’t think this pain will go away.”

“You’re right.” Ice’s simple words clench my heart even more. “It won’t until I prove it to you.”

I slowly lift my head to look at him through watery eyes. “Prove what?”

Ice is closer now. His eyes aren’t the same. Not so cold or fearless when he’s with the Jets. Instead they’re… afraid. Soft and timid, as if he’s afraid he’ll never be happy again.

“Prove that I love you. Velma kissed me. I never said yes. She just- just sprang it on me. But I understand why you don’t believe me.” Now he’s starting to tear up too. “You deserve the world and more, honey. I’m jealous of the guy who’s gonna steal your heart wherever you end up. But if he’ll make you happy, then I’ll be happy.”

Oh God… He does luv me. It was all Velma, not him! Relief and joy rush through my veins, rekindling the spark for Ice I thought I’d lost. There’s no way I could trade this for any other man.

“Then you’re jealous of him,” I point to his reflection in the window.

Ice looks back and forth between me and the window with a stunned expression. “I don’t get it. All I see is me.”

“Exactly.” His eyes widen as I press a soft kiss to his cheek. “I want you in my life, Diesel Smith.”

“Oh my God thank you!” Ice falls into my lap and pulls me in for a hug to kiss the top of my head. “I promise you will never be the other woman, you’ll be my only woman. And I’m your man, sweetheart. It’s you and me against the world.”

“Won’t the Jets miss you?”

Ice shakes his head and lays it on my lap. “I quit. Told Riff I’m giving up the Jets to start a clean life.”

My jaw drops. “But I thought-!”

Ice presses a finger to my mouth. “The Jets aren’t gonna miss me, Elaine. Yeah I’ll admit I’m sad to leave but I’d hate it even more if you’re not with me.” He snuggles closer. “Could ya wake me up when we get to- wherever it is you’re going?”

I laugh and stroke his soft hair. “Sure thing, Diesel.”
