Jess's POV
You would think that having just broken up with the guy I had been dating for a year, I would be more upset, right? Well the funny thing is that I'm not. I mean I tried remembering all the good times we had and all, but I still couldn't get even remotely sad. You can get about me shedding a tear; it wasn't anything like when Rob and I had broken up.
When Rob dropped me off at my dorm, he gave me this odd look and drove away. What was with all these odd looks? Two years ago the only emotions he showed were amusement, and occasionally anger, other then that it was like trying to read the emotion of a rock. I sighed and unlocked the door to my dorm. Allie was still missing, and it was really scaring the hell out of me.
I guess it was time to visit Allan and Jill, no matter how much I hated it. Question was, how do I get a hold of them? That was the only major problem. There had to be some way to get them without visiting the Military Base. When nothing came to me, I decided it was time to visit my hometown, somewhere I hadn't been to for at least a year and a half, even though I was only a few minutes away.

I rung the bell and waited for someone to answer the door. My mom's car was still in the driveway which meant she was still home. The door swung open to reveal my mom. For a few minutes we just stood there staring at each other.
"Hey mom," I finally managed to say.
"Jess!" she screamed on the top of her lungs, before enveloping me in a hug that could kill someone.
"Mom, I can't breathe!" I managed to gasp out.
"Oh sorry honey," she said, immediately releasing me.
"It's okay, so how is everyone?"
"They're fine. Jessica Antonia Mastriani, why haven't you visited?" she said in a scary voice. I winced, this is what I had been trying to avoid.
"I've been really busy, the professor's are asking us to do all sorts of things," I lied.
"That's not an excuse, you should at least have the decency to visit your family," she scolded.
"I know, I know, I'll try to do better in the future. But I'm here right now, aren't I?" I said, hoping to end this before it actually ever started.
"Fine, but I expect you to at least call us every so often," she said with a sigh.
"I promise," I said, actually meaning it, "So… how is everyone?"
"Good, Doug is in his room if you would like to see him." I took that as an invitation and went upstairs to Douglas's rooms. Just like old times, I barged into his room without knocking.
"How's it hanging?"
"Only you would barge into my room with no invitation and say something like that," he said with one glance at me before he turned back to his computer.
"Well, of course," I said sounding offended.
"So, what do you want?"
"I can't visit my older brother, now?" I asked, pretending to be innocent.
"Not when it's you, no," he replied back, still typing.
"Fine, I need to figure out a way to contact Allan and Jill without having to drive to the Military Base," I said, quickly giving up the act.
"And you couldn't have tried w-w-w. why?"
"Because I've decided to be unique, now look them up for me," I said looking over his comics, which he had hundreds of now.
"Fine," he said opening up Morzilla Firefox. Quickly he typed in and typed in Jill's and then Allan's names. Within a few moments I had both of there cell phone numbers.
"Thanks Doug, I owe you one," I said gratefully.
"I'll hold you to that you know," he said looking at me before turning back to his computer screen.
"Well I gotta go, see ya soon," I said as I headed out the door and down the stairs. Luckily for me mom wasn't downstairs to stop me from leaving. I got on my bike and started heading over to Rob's house, he would want to be there when she was able to get a hold of Allan and Jane. When I got to there house, I noticed his bike wasn't in the driveway. I went to ring the doorbell anyway; he was always tinkering with the Indian when we were dating, so there was a chance he was in the barn. I heard the door creak and saw Just-Call-Me-Gary standing in the doorway.
"Hey, is Rob here?"
"Yeah, he's in the barn," he said. I grinned; my luck never runs out, does it.
"Thanks," I replied already heading over to the barn.
I entered the barn and there in its all found glory was Rob's ass. I know, I know, bad Jess, very bad Jess. I haven't even been broken up with Frank for a day and I'm already admiring another guy's ass. Jeez, what was wrong with me? I cleared my throat, just so Rob would know I was there. He turned around and looked to see who it was.
"Oh, hey Mastriani, what do ya need?"
"I got the phone numbers of Jill and Allan, just to let you know," I said handing him the printouts. He took them eagerly, anything that would bring home Allie he would try.
"Great, who should we call first?"
"I was thinking we should try Jill first, Allan hates me," I said taking out my phone.
"Okay, that makes sense," Rob said handing me the papers. Suddenly he was right next to me, looking down at me. I stared up at him for a few moments, and then I put my hands around his neck and dragged his head down until I could kiss him. I don't know what had gotten into me, but it was really a spur of the moment thing, and hey, Rob wasn't complaining. After that I lost my thoughts completely and could only think about Rob's lips on mine. I felt his hands creep up my shirt and I moaned, I had been waiting for this for so long. We kissed like that for what seemed like five hours, until we both broke apart.
"I know I should have told you this two years ago, but Jess I love you," he said, his forehead resting on mine.I froze, I had waited so long for those words, and he finally said them, two years late. The minute he said those words, I finally figured it out.
"I love you too."
