Chapter 4: Breakthrough

Melinda took a deep breathe and walked over to the couch and sat down. She stared at the letter from Jim in her hand. Melinda put her head down and sighed. She had no clue what to do or how to act to this or anything. She was just so frustrated with everything that has happened. "Ugh" she threw the letter on the coffee table. "Why? Why now" her voice was full of anger and frustration. Tears started to fall from her eyes "I was just starting to get over you, get on with my life after all these years" Melinda wiped her tears away as more started to fall. Melinda reached over to the coffee table and picked up her cell phone and dialed a number. Melinda put the phone up to her ear "Can you come over please. I just don't know what to do anymore" Melinda's voice started to break up.

Melinda sat on the porch holding a cup of hot tea. A car pulled up in her drive way and Avery got out. "What's wrong" Avery asked as she walked over and sat on the couch. "Jim" Melinda said. "Oh. You still haven't got back together with him yet" Avery said. Melinda chuckled sarcastically "He lied the whole time Avery. He could of contacted me during those 6 years. I mourned him for nothing" Melinda said. Her voice was full of hurt and anger. "Melinda, he couldn't contact you. When you go into the Witness Location Program your whole slate is wiped clean even though you don't want it to be. Jim was a witness in a robbery and it threatned his life, it was the only way" Avery said. Melinda sighed "I know but this is Jim we are talking about. This is the guy who hated being away from me" Melinda said. "And don't you think those 6 years killed him for being away from you for so long" Avery asked. Melinda shrugged her shoulders and took a sip of her tea. Avery sighed and got up and went inside Melinda's house "What are you doing" Melinda asked. Avery didn't answer and came back outside carrying a box and dropped the box to the ground in front of Melinda. Avery sat back down on the porch and pulled the box over to her "Does all this right here look like that man didn't miss you" Avery held up a bunch of letters. Melinda didn't say anything and just stared at the letters Avery was holding. "Melinda, does it" Avery asked in a demanding voice. "I...I don't...I don't know" Melinda said. Avery picked up the box and walked in the house. "What are you doing" Melinda got up and followed her inside. "What are you doing" Melinda asked when she seen Avery sit by the fireplace with the box and pick up some letters "It's clear you aren't going to get back together with Jim because you can't "forgive" him. So what is the sense in keeping all these letters" Avery held a few letters over the fireplace. "NO" Melinda yelled when she seen what Avery was about to do to the letters Jim wrote to her while he was away. Tears fell down Melinda's face "Don't burn them please" Melinda begged her. Avery looked at Melinda "I want an honest answer. Does this look like that man didn't love or miss you all these years he's been gone" Avery asked. "NO. Ok. No it doesn't" Melinda sobbed, she covered her face with her hands. Avery moved away from the fireplace and put the letters back in the box. "Melinda, you need to stop being so...selfish. Do you know how much I would love to have my fiancee back with me. I would take him back in a heartbeat if he turned up alive no matter what his excuse was. Sweetie, do you know how many woman out there would kill just to have one more day with their husband. Jim is here Melinda, he's here in the flesh wanting you back, he's came back to you, he waited all these years to be with you again. You don't know how lucky you are. Do it for all the woman who wish they had a second chance. If you can't don't keep Jim waiting, just tell him. I'll call you later, you have some thinking to do now" Avery said. She walked past her friend and walked out the front door closing it. Melinda knew Avery was right about everything she just said. She walked over to the box of letters and picked them and took them upstairs as she cried. Melinda put her box down on a chair in her bedroom and laid down on the bed.

Jim laid in bed asleep later that night. Thunderstorms invaded Grandview as lightning striked across the sky. "Mmm" Jim turned over in his sleep hearing the loud thunder, he put his arm out and put it on the other side of the bed like he was trying to hold someone. Jim lifted up his head and scanned his bedroom looking for Melinda. Jim sighed and laid back down when he came to realization that she wasn't there and never was in bed with him. Every night he would wake up when he would turn over and go to hold her. "Please say she called" he mumbled in hope that Melinda called him. Jim reached over on the nightstand for his phone and looked to see if he had any missed calls. Jim shook his head and put his phone back on the nightstand when he seen he had no missed calls. Jim sighed and turned over and stared at the empty side of the bed that would be Melinda's side of the bed. "Better get used to this" a tear fell down Jim's face and onto his pillow. Jim laid there in the dark in his bedroom and started drifting off back to sleep when the apartment buzzer startled him. Jim quickly got up and stepped into his gym shorts and pulled them up "Hold on i'm coming" he said as he walked to the door. Jim unlocked all the locks on his door and opened the door. A woman stood in front of Jim. "Melinda" Jim said in a shocked voice. They both stood as they both stared at each other.
