Chapter 4
Double D was shocked and speechless as he stood there face to face with the girl who had broken his heart all that time ago.
"It's you!" Double D said in shock.
As he stood there face to face with the blue haired girl from his past.
"Marie wh… what are you doing here?"
"Um is it a crime to see my old boyfriend?" Marie asked in a sarcastic tone.
"Well no but what I meant is, I thought you and your family had moved to Lemon Brook."
Marie gave a quick giggle.
"We still are but we're visiting some family here in Ol'Peach Creek."
"Oh that's um nice…"
Both teens stood awkwardly, trying to avoid eye contact with each other.
"So um…. Who was that you we're hanging out with?" Marie asked as she rubbed her left shoulder.
"A friend we were just….. Hanging out you know."
"Oh… that's nice."
Marie gave a sigh.
"Double D you know we have talk about… you know."
"No offense Marie but I'd rather not, and if you don't mind it's getting late and I want to be alone."
"Oh uh…. Sure no prob."
"Thank you Marie I'll see you later."
Double D said as he left her.
"Sure….. see you Double D." Marie said as she slowly walked away.
Double D was lost in his own thought, trying to control his sadness from surfacing.
"Why…. Why of all days did she have come back into my life." Double D said as he walked through the streets of Peach Creak.
After an hour of walking he thought it would be safe to return to the Cul-De-Sac in which he was hoping that Marie and her family had left to return home. But just as he entered the famed Cul-De-Sac he heard a familiar voice call out to him.
"Hey Double D!"
Doouble D quickly turn his attention to the voice and to his surprise it was his friend Jack who had return from a trip.
"Hey Jack long time no see." Double D replied as he and Jack performed their secret hand shake.
"I know man been forever how are ya?"
"Well in a way I guess you can say busy."
"Oh how so?" Jack asked as he and Double D walked to Double D's house where they sat on the patio furniture. Where Double D told how he and the others met Anastasia and the great time he had spent with her, and of he recent encounter with Marie.
"So that's what's been goin down eh Double D?"
"Yeah."
"What are you gonna do if Marie comes back? You now the two of you should talk."
"I know but still I…. I can't get over the fact that she basically broke my heart the day she left for Lemon Brook."
"I know man." Jack said as he rubbed Double D's back.
"And now there's Anastasia…. I mean I can't stop thinking about her Jack. She's so….so… perfect."
"Hmm…. Well maybe you should just focus on her then."
"What do you mean?"
"Well instead of wastin your time thinking about what you and Marie had, you should focus more what you and Anastasia could have ya know?"
Double D thought of what his friend had told him.
"You know…. I think you're right Jack. I need to stop thinking about the past and focus more on the future. I'll talk to Marie and finally settle things once and for all, but for now I just want to focus on Anastasia."
"At a boy Double D I'm happy to my ol' pal happy again."
"Hehe, shut up." Double D said as he playfully shoved Jack.
Then he and Jack shared a good laugh.
"Well what should we do tomorrow?" Jack asked as he and Double D laid in the back yard of Double D's house.
"I don't know but I hope it involves Anastasia." Double D replied.
"Now come on man I don't you want you to go all love sick over her now."
"Whaa… weren't you the one sayin I should focus on her more?"
"Hehe I'm kiddin man I know how you feel Double D. that's how I feel about Becca."
"Hey maybe you, me, becca, and Anna can do something tomorrow?"
"Hmm, sounds great unless Eddy came up with some new scam while we were away."
"Oh yeah I almost forgot about Eddy and Ed for a sec."
"Oh well perhaps another time."
"Yeah man."
Then Jack and Double D said their good nights and left for home. Soon Double D was getting himself ready for bed but had decided to take a look over towards Anastasia's house where he thought of the wonderful time he had with her.
"Good night Anna sweet dreams." Double D said to himself as he crawled into bed.
