Jett stared out his window and blinked slowly. How could I have been so stupid, he though to himself? Kayla West, the only girl I ever truly loved. Jett sat down on his bed and stared at the picture on his desk. It included himself, his best friend J.B. and his first true love, Kayla. Forget her! He laid back and drifted off into a fitful sleep. While in his dreams, he wondered back to the day Kayla broke his heart.

"Hey Jett, get your hands off of me!" Kayla screamed. After pulling her behind a tree Jett let her go and glared at her.

"How the hell could you do that?" He screamed. Kayla just stood there with a sly grin on her face.

"Do what Jett? Huh?" Jett stared at her in disbelief. He couldn't believe she was actually asking him that.

"Kayla, you're with me and you're kissing that jerk?" She turned to leave. "Where are you going? I believe I deserve and answer."

"It's over, Jett, okay. This relationship isn't what I'm looking for." With that said Kayla walked away leaving Jett wondering what he did wrong.

Jett woke with a jolt, his muscular body drenched in sweat. He climbed out of bed and stumbled toward his bathroom. He started the shower and slowly peeled his sweaty clothes off and climbed in the hot shower.

I have to go somewhere and clear my head, Jett thought. He thought of where he could go to wind down for the summer as he lathered his body down. He didn't want to go too far but he didn't want to be too close. His aunt and uncle in Maryland came to mind. They lived right on North Beach. Perfect. He rinsed off and climbed out with a smile.

Later on that evening Jett found Miss Coretta finishing up her quilt. He approached her and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey Nana." He greeted as he sat down beside her. Miss Coretta stopped her knitting and stared at her great-grandson. She always knew when Jett had something on his mind.

"What do you have brewing in that head of yours, Jett?" Miss Coretta asked. Jett picked up the ball of yarn and tossed it between his hands.

"What do you think about a vacation in Maryland?" Miss Coretta resumed her knitting and answered.

"That should be good for you. You need to take your mind off things around here. Especially since you're going to be a senior next year." Jett smiled and nodded his head. Miss Coretta saw him smiling and smiled herself. "I haven't seen that handsome smile in a month of Sundays."

"I finally have something to smile about." Jett gave Miss Coretta another kiss. "I'll talk to dad about it later. I'm going to J.B.'s."
