Chapter Eleven: Learn Your Lesson

About a week had passed, and Manny was leaving for LA again. Jay spent most of his time drinking and watching TV. Except for customers at work, he had barely spoken to anyone or even left his house. Jay wanted to die.

Suddenly, Jay's cell started to ring. Reaching over to grab it, he was hoping it was Manny, but to his surprise, it was someone even better.

"Sean Cameron! What's up!" Speaking to Sean put the first smile on Jay's face this past week.

"Not much, Jay. How are things down there?"

"Terrible, but that doesn't matter. Alls that matters is that you're alive, which leads me to ask why are you calling?"

"Well, I'm on leave right now, so me and a few of the guys are on vacation in Malta."

"Malta?" The thought of that place made Jay want to vomit.

"Yeah, have you heard of it?" Now, Sean could easily tell that Jay was upset.

"Yeah, uhm, it's a long story, but how do you like it down there?" Jay's voice was shaky, and he sounded as if he was trying to hold back tears.

"Never mind that. Jay what's wrong?"

"It's Manny."

"Manny?" Sean interrupted a little confused.

"Yeah, I know I've written you a few times about her, but I never gave you complete detail."

"So, explain."

"Alright, we were dating for a little over a year, and I hung out with this other girl behind Manny's back, sort of. Then Manny found out and broke up with me."

"Did you cheat on her?"

"No, well, not the first time."

"You hung out with this girl more than once?"

"Well, after we broke up, I hooked up with Bianca thinking Manny would never take me back, and then the next morning Manny came to my house to do exactly that."

"And she saw you with Bianca. Man Jay, you just never learn, do you?"

"I guess not," After explaining what happened with Manny, Jay did not feel like talking anymore.

"Look Jay, I know you feel like you've screwed up for good, but don't give up. I can tell you really love her, and I'm sure she still loves you."

"I hope your right."

"I know I am. Hey, I gotta get going, so I'll talk to you later."

"See yah, Cameron."

Click. As much as Jay wanted Sean to be right, he did not believe there was anyway he could get Manny back, but if anybody knew what it would take, it would be Emma Nelson.
