Ever since Jay had asked her to marry him she had been floating on air. She hadn't felt this great since the day she met Jay. She did still feel and emptiness in her heart, but pretended it wasn't there. Jay had gone back to england for a week to pack his bags. Terri and Jay had gotten an apartment close to school. It was now late Novemeber only 3 weeks after the engagement

Terri went around the house humming looking for scissors. She found them in one of the many boxes she hadn't unpacked yet. She started to unwrap the boxes. ' L is for the way you look at me' She kept singing and as she picked up a photograph. She stopped humming and put on a painful look. It was a photograph of Todd and her. It was their one month aniversary and Todd took her to a amusement park. Todd knew how much she loved roller coasters. She kept her eyes on the photo untill the phone rang. "Hello?" "Hello Baby" She smiled at the voice. "I missed you" "I missed you too, Jay" " I just wanted to call you to tell you I bought something that should be coming in today" She giggled. "Oh I do love surprises" He laughed and hung up. SHe The houses door bell went off. "I'm comming", said Terri. She got up and went to the door. A man in a Fed-ex uniform was holding a package. "For a Ms. Terri Fletcher?" "I am she" He smiled." I need you to sign here" She grabbed the pen and signed. "Have a nice day Mam" She nodded and took the package. It was moderatly sized. No fragile sticker was on the box. She wondered what it was. She got the scissors from the counter and started to cut the tap. She got the foam out and saw another little box. She opened the box and saw it was a little ornament. It read "Our First Christmas" She turned red in the face. He must have known she was Jewish.( work with me here people. I know in the movie it didn't say anything like this) She knew her family wasn't that big into her religon but her fiance had to know that. Todd knows I'm Jewish. Her normal self kicked in. What was she doing???? Jay didn't really know her. She had only seen him for a couple of weeks for summer camp. Then all of a sudden BAM she was marrying him. She had known Todd for longer than that. 2 years she had known Todd. She had seen Todd every day. She had known Jay for two years too but she had only seen him for 2 summers. During the school year Terri and Jay didn't talk much. Terri was different from when she was in her teenage summer years. She was an adult now. She had to move on.

Terri knew she would be breaking Jay's heart, but it was something she had to do. She dialed his number.

"Jay" "Hey Babe,get the ortament?"

"Yeah about that I'm Jewish"

Jay laughed, "Silly me I knew that" Terri sighed.

"No you didn't. Jay I think you should stay...in London for a bit longer"

"And why should I do that?"

"Because we wont be getting married so.."

"Wh..wh.. wait? What? Am I getting punked or something cause it's not funny"

"It's not supposed to be a joke"

Jay started to laugh. "You still love him don't you"

"Yeah I do"

"Thats funny"

"Really?"

"No but Im trying to lighten the mood Ter. Promise me if it dosen't work out you'll call me"

"You'll be the first to know"

"Thanks"

"Bye Jay"

"Bye Terr"

She hung up and dialed Todd's number.

"Y'ello?"

She laughed and started to cry. She had missed him so much

" Hello?"

She snifled. "Hey" She could hear heavy breathing from the other end.

"Hi Terri"

"Hi Todd"

"I haven't heard from you in a month"

"Yeah, well are you busy?"

"No"

"I need to meet you Todd"

"where?"

"At the park"

"I'll be there"

"Thanks Todd"

she grabbed her keys and got in her car. She saw the parks sign and pulled over. She saw Todd standing by a bench. She ran over and put her coat on. "Terri hey" "Todd I need to tell you I made a mistake and that I trully love you. My head was not on right. I was afraid of our marriage because I hadn't settled the Jay problem. I hadn't realized untill now that Jay was apart of my first love. That he would always have a special place in my heart for him just not all of it. Not even close. The only one who would fill my heart is you" Todd looked at Terri for a long time and then cupped his hands in her face and brought her closer to her and finally their lips touched. They held it for about a mintue untill they both moved back. She smiled and they both kissed again. She wrapped her hands around his neck. He picked her up and swung her around. As they kissed and laughed the rain started to trickle down. Terri realized this was her new chapter in life. Her adult years. She waved goodbye to her summers of love and entered the door of the rest of her life. She looked into Todd's eyes and kissed him. It was a hard yet soft kiss. A kiss that meant everything.

I know you probably all hate me, but Terri had to get over Jay. Im sorry. As they say in the Sound of Music.

Adieu, adieu, to yieu and yieu and yieu,
