~Chapter Ten:The bridge is being built~

It was a few days later, and Melinda visited her lawyer, and she filed for divorce.

Jim called her and panicked when his lawyer advised him that she filed for divorce.

"Good for you!" was all she responded.

A few days later, the lawyers, Jim, and Melinda, are having a meeting.

"Honestly, I don't know why she wants a divorce so badly." Jim told the lawyers.

"Oh, you know why. You must love ruining my life. He wanted to move to California when he found out my best friend, Richard Payne, is in love with me. He even applied me to med school without asking me."

"Melinda, we were advised that you miscarried your child recently. Was the child his?"

she nodded.

"He pushed me down the stairs, drunk. The fall is what produced the miscarriage. Actually, he was taking drugs and drinking throughout the whole pregnancy."

"THAT'S BECAUSE I LOST MY SON RECENTLY, MELINDA!"

"Yes, um, is that the reason why you started these habits, Jim? You lost you're son, Bryant, right?"

Jim nodded.

"I found in the worst way. I caught him making out with his ex, Felicia Justine, the mother of his son."

her lawyer raised his eyebrows.

"So, Melinda, there isn't really a reason to take him to court for?"

"Oh, I'd love to take him to court, but there is no real reason to."

"Alright then. Well, you told me that you're mostly all moved out?"

"Oh. I still have quite a few boxes, but it would be done in a flash. He could keep the house, or sell it. I wont care. I already have my own place."

"Alright... so you're mostly all set, you two, for this big step. How about this Friday at the city hall to confirm the divorce?"

"The sooner, the better. I just want to get my life back."

Jim looked like if he was going to begin to cry.

Friday....

"So, you now need to sign these places, right here. Yup, there."

Melinda nervously held her pen as she watched Jim sign the divorcement papers.

After a few minutes, they gave Melinda the same papers.

She read through the whole document, and signed the necessary places.

Then, the judge stamped the papers.

"There. It's all over. You two are now officially divorced."

Jim got up and left in a flash. Once he was gone, Melinda went out as well.

Rick was waiting for her outside.

"Hey, are you alright?" he stroked her cheeks.

"You're crying, Mel."

"Rick, I just got divorced. Am I s'pose to be happy?" he shook his head.

He hugged her.

"I'm sorry. As much as you hated Jim in the end, you're still really upset about it, right?" she nodded.

"We went through so much together. Heaven and Hell. At one point, I thought that we would never be separated." she shook her head.

"I hope my next marriage wont end like this!"

"No, Melinda, it wont. I bet that you're next marriage will be better than you're last one. You know why? Because you make people's live's worth living for after it was all destroyed. You light their lives. You're really special, Melinda Gordon. The moment you told me about you're gift, that's what I saw in you. I'm sure that you're future husband will see that in you, too."

"Do... you really mean that?" she whispered.

He nodded, a tear going down his cheek.

They hugged again.

A week later, Melinda went back to work.

Delia went over to Rick's a few times to see how Melinda was doing.

She is actually doing better than expected.

Melinda loves living at Rick's, as best friends, or a couple.

It feels a lot like home to her now. All of her things from her past resident are all there.

She let Jim keep most of the furniture, so it wasn't too hard to move out.

Also, being like a maid, Melinda has been doing the household chores, (well, most of it).

Right now, she's meeting Rick at the university. He told her that he has a surprise for her.

So, she went up to Rick's office.

Once she arrived, quite a few people were there.

"Uh...." Rick spotted Melinda, and went up to her, and put an arm around her shoulders.

"Everyone, this is Melinda Gordon, my best friend. Jeremy, do you have anything to say?"

"Melinda, Rick told us how big you're degree in history is. You went to George Town to take teaching courses, right? After you left college?" she nodded slowly.

"You own an antique shop, Same as it never was, in Grandview, are we again correct?" she nodded again.

"Well, do you want to be Rockland's next History teacher?"

"Uh... uh... I truly don't know what to say. Could I have a week?"

"A week, and that's it. Next session we'll need you, if you except the offer."

"Alright." Melinda turned to leave once they all began talking again, but Rick grabbed her.

"Hey, Melinda, isn't this great? We'll be working together! Now, you could just sell the store, or give it to Delia. It's perfect!"

"Rick... come here." she pulled him into the hallway.

"Rick, this is too much. First, backing me up through all my problems with Jim, offering me to live with you, and now, getting me a new career. What's going on? I know that I'm your best friend, but this is a little extreme, even for you. Why are you doing this?"

What am I s'pose to tell her? I'm just doing this because I care for her?

"Rick, answer me. Now. You're scaring me."

"I'm... I'm... doing this because... well, you're my best friend, and I really care about you."

"Is that all?"

"Yes."

"I'll be at home then. Bye."

"Bye." she walked away.

"I love you...." he whispered to her, but of course, she didn't hear.
