Bacon. Pancakes. I smell bacon and pancakes, I open my eyes and sit up. Last night I stayed at Uncle Eddies, I slept in the bed my mother did growing up and where I stayed on occasion. I put the dressing gown Uncle Eddie gave me last night and walked to the kitchen. The heart of the house. I wasn't surprised to see him dressed in a suit and cooking. I was surprised to see my dad sitting at the table eating bacon and pancakes.

'Morning' I said

'Morning Katarina, these are for you' Eddie said gesturing to the pancake stack on the side of the counter

'Thanks' I said taking it to my usual seat.

'So Jamie…' My dad began, I turned to Uncle Eddie

'You told him?' He had his back to me and shrugged his shoulders.

'He already knew' I turned back to my dad who had just finished eating..

'How?'

'He came to your mother's grave' He said casually. My heart skipped a beat.

'Oh' This was all I could say, I started to eat a strip of bacon

'Yeah, honestly I was shocked to see him. I scared him shit-less when I walked behind him.' He said chuckling

'Tell her what you said' Eddie said sitting down with us, my dad sighed

'I asked him what he was going back here, and he said that he wanted to make things up and he was looking for you'

'He found me last night'

'Did you talk?'

'He disappeared on me again' there was a silence while me and Eddie finished our breakfasts. Once I finished I went and got dressed. 'I'm going to head back.' I walked into the kitchen, my dad and Eddie were nowhere to be seen. I left and made my way back to the mansion. When I walked in there was a large bouquet of flower in the middle of the hallway.

'Pretty aren't they?' Hale said from the stairs

'I guess' I said skeptical as he walked down the stairs towards me

'Where'd you go last night?' He said. The flowers were between us

'I needed to think, I went to Eddie's'

'What is there to think about? Is it Jamie?' He tried to hide the anger in his voice, but failed.

'Hale, he was my childhood best friend, he disappeared the day my mom died. And yesterday was the first time I've seen him in over 10 years. So actually, there was a lot to think about' I crossed my arms defensively

'Gabby told me he was your first crush' Hale said.

'My first kiss as well.' I added dropping my gaze to the flowers, I might as well be honest.

'Do you still like him?' I snapped my head up to see hurt in his eyes

'I...I...I don't know. I'm confused more than anything….I want answers' I could feel the tears brimming.

'Well looks like you're gonna get them' He said walking away

'What do you mean?' I called. Hale stopped, looked at me and said

'He left a card. Seems that you have a date tonight' With that he walked into his study and slammed the door sending vibrations through the room. Sending vibrations through me. I walked towards the flowers, I found the card, it had already been opened. I pulled out the card, turned it over and read.

Sorry for last night, I promise to make up for it. Dinner tonight, I'll pick you up at 7. J.

I read and re-read the card. How did he know where I was staying? Where was he taking me? Why was he being nice?

'Boy problems?' Gabby said coming out of the dining room in her workout gear

'You could say that.' I offered her the note, she held her hand up

'I was sorta the one that opened it'

'Okay. What do you think I should do?'

'First of all, you are going to get changed and we are going for a little jog' I nodded, within 5 minutes I was back down stairs ready in my trainers.

'Lets go' I said as we left the mansion. Nearby is a woods that has trails from joggers before us. We set off down the path. After 10 minutes, Gabby spoke

'So...Jamie?' Gabby said

'Yeah' I respond

'I've done a background check on him for you'

'And?' We both stopped

'He's a ghost, there is nothing and I mean nothing on him. The only thing was the caution from the police he got when we were 8.' We both laugh at the memory.

'He got too cocky. He got caught'

'Now it looks like he's too good to be caught' She added. We both were silent for a moment. 'Do you think him coming back will change everything?'

'To be honest, I don't know.' I looked around at the scenery, I didn't want anything to change. But sometimes change is inevitable, change can be good, but also change can be destructive.
