Italics are flashbacks

Seven-hundred twenty days that is how long I have been away from Three Rivers. Seven-hundred twenty days is how long I have been away from Angela Chase. I thought as I looked at the old Plymouth that was in my parents garage. I ran my hand across the top of the car that brought so many memories of her to my mind. I've only been back for a few days and I still can't work up the nerve to take her for a drive it's like sacred or something. I open the door and close my eyes taking in the smell of her after all these years I can still smell her, which in turn brings me back to the last time we spoke.

You're waiting by the car as I pull in

And this is where the ending begins

Looking like you made up your mind

Like anything I say would be a waste of your time

Spring 1995

We had finally gotten our second chance and there was no way that I was going to mess it up this time. I was supposed to pick her up from the restaurant at eight, but practice ran late 'cause of Shane and Tommy fighting again about who knew. I tried to call her I knew it was no use. I pulled in to her drive and I knew by the look on her face this was not going to end well. "Hey." I tell her standing in the drive with my hands in my pockets.

"Hey." that is all you have to say I waited at the restraint for an hour before I decided to walk home."

I know she's pissed at me I'd be pissed too, but as I look in her eyes there's something else I can't figure it out just yet.

"Ang look, practice ran late and then Shane and Tommy got into it and I tried to call but you didn't answer." I try my best to explain what happened as I move closer to her.

Too little too late too bad we couldn't save it are we really going to leave this way give it all up and drive away.

"Jordan this is the second time in a week that this has happened what is going on with you."

I didn't have an answer for her all I could do was tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear. Angela grabs my hand and looks in my eyes.

"Jordan this isn't like you." When she said this it put me on the defensive reason why I said the next words which I knew once they were said I'd regret it.

"How do you know what I'm like, it's not like you've been around much lately." With that said she looked at me and said the two words I was not expecting.

Girl our love's on the line right now should we fight and turn it around I know there's got to be more to this thing two hearts going their separate ways.

"You know what Jordan its over." I knew this was coming but why, why now?

"Fine if that's what you want." Was all I could say because I knew that no matter what I said or did would not make her change her mind.

"Ya it is." She tells me looking at the ground.

"Well I guess I'll see ya around." It was all I could say I was tired and hurt. Tired because of all the fighting because it seemed like no matter what I said or did she was always mad at me. Hurt because for once in my life I took a chance and opened up to someone I mean really opened up and look at me now. I walk back to my car and drive away not looking to see if she went inside or not.

I shook my head and closed the door I need to go for a walk or something. I pull a cigarette out of my pack and start walking down the street. The night air is chilling which is what I need to clear my head. After what seemed like an hour of walking I found myself at the park that Angela and I used to go to just to talk. I stop dead in my tracks when I see her on the swings. She looks the same except her hair is longer and it's not red it's blonde. I fight the urge to walk over to her and touch her. As I turn to walk the other way I hear her voice.

"Jordan is that you?" I hear as she is walking towards me. Shit Catalano so much for hanging low until you went back to LA.

"Hey." God she is still beautiful. "What are you doing here?" I could ask her the same thing seeing that after graduation she was going to Columbia in New York.

"My mom wanted me to come home." I tell her playing with my keys in my pocket.

"Oh." I can tell she is nervous as she tucks her hair behind her hair.

"I missed you." I take a step forward closing the space between us.

"Don't."

She tells me as she pushes me away which in turn causes my defenses to go up. I step back and look at her. "Fine." I say as I turn to walk away.

A/N: First off thank you to those who left a review.

Secondly this fic is all from Jordan's POV

I decided to stop her due to chapter length I try not to make my chapters too long.

The next chapter will deal more with Jordan and his family and a bit of Angela angst thrown in.

Hope you all enjoyed please review thanks again for reading
