A/N: I don't own Degrassi. And if I did J.T. would still be alive, Liberty would still be with J.T., and they would have kept the baby. But I don't. But I hope you enjoy this story all the same.
Summary: It's one year after J.T.'s death and the whole school is throwing a big memorial bash in memory of him. When Liberty is asked to sing in front of the whole school for the memorial, she obliges. But, J.T. won't give up until she sings, so he visits her in her dreams and tells her that everything's gonna turn out alright.
"Liberty! Wait!", Manny Santos called from down the hall to her friend Liberty Van Zandt. Liberty hadn't been the same since J.T.'s death. And today was the first year anniversary since he's been dead. "Hey Manny. What's up?", Liberty asked as she grabbed some books from her locker. Manny looked at her with a smile and Liberty looked confused. "What?", Liberty asked as Manny kept smiling at her.
"So the whole school is throwing J.T. a memorial bash and we were talking and we want you to sing at the memorial. We'd really appreciate it. And I'm sure J.T. would. Please?", Manny begged and pleaded. Liberty knelt down and looked her straight in the eyes. "Look Manny, I know you're trying to help me cope over J.T.'s death and I appreciate it. But, he's dead. And I'm not gonna sing anymore.".
Liberty walked away. Manny stood there in shock. "J.T. would be happy if you sang for him Liberty. Why won't you sing?", Manny asked as Liberty as reached the back door. Liberty turned around and walked over to Manny. "Why? Because I haven't sang since J.T. died and I'm not gonna start now. I'm sorry Manny. But, I'm not gonna sing unless J.T. is alive.", Liberty walked back out the door and leaned up against the door and cried.
When Liberty got home she threw her bag onto the floor and laid down on the couch. "This past year had been very hard J.T. I wish you could be here to help me through it.", Liberty said as she looked at a picture of J.T. that she placed on the coffee table after the funeral. "I need you J.T. I really do.". And with that she fell asleep.
"Liberty", a voice whispered. "Liberty, wake up.". Liberty fell asleep. 'This is a dream. Liberty, you're losing your mind. That sounds like J.T.", Liberty thought to herself. When she opened her eyes she saw J.T. looking her dead in the face. "J.T.? No you're dead. You can't be here.", Liberty said as J.T. took her hand and helped her up. J.T. smiled. "Of course I can. You said that you needed me. And here I am. Now what's the problem?", J.T. asked as Liberty still looked confused.
"Um, okay. See Manny wants to throw you a party and she wants me to sing and I can't do it.", Liberty said as J.T. looked around the house. "J.T.! Listen to me. I don't know if I can sing in front of the school.". J.T. laughed and shook his head. "Listen Liberty, is that it? I've heard you sing, remember, we were driving and a song came on that you liked and you started singing it?", J.T. asked as he took a seat beside Liberty and put his arm around her.
"It's not that I'm afraid. It's just that I haven't sang since you died.", Liberty explained. J.T. looked at Liberty. "I want you to sing. Go ahead and tell Manny that you're gonna sing.", J.T. said as he kissed Liberty goodbye. Liberty looked at him and saw that he was gone. "J.T.!", Liberty said as she woke up. "I've got to call Manny and tell her that I'll sing at the memorial.". Liberty said and with a start she dialed Manny's phone number.
