This Too Shall Pass
Chapter Two: The Beginning
(Several Weeks Earlier)
"Jimmy," Jamie's older 28 year old sister, Megan stated over the phone using her much hated nickname for Jamie. "Can you baby-sit Hannah tonight? Paul and I have to do something at the restaurant."
Megan , her husband Paul, and their three year old daughter Hannah lived in the next town and owned a fabulous French restaurant there.
"You know I'd love to, but I have a date, Meggie. Maybe mom or dad could do it?"
"Yeah ok I'll ask." Megan replied.
Jamie loved having his sister and niece close by. The pair was very close , despite the age difference. Jamie was not however, close to his older brother at 20, Peter who was in college in New York studying to be a lawyer or corporate business man or something along that nature. He supposed it was because Megan and Jamie had similar personalities and Peter the complete opposite from both, was the quiet perfect one, "Super Peter" Jamie had nicknamed him.
Anyway, hours later Jamie found himself at the front of his date's house.
"Hi, Amy-Liesel."
"Please." Amy-Liesel replied as she and Jamie walked to his father's car. "Just call me Amy."
Jamie laughed. "Sure" He hadn't planned that much for the date, thought it was his first with Amy, whom he'd meet days before at a concert. The tall dark curly red head had caught his attention and he phoned her for a date soon after. He figured they'd see a movie or something, which as it turned out , just what they did..
And of course, the stop at the bar.
Though Jamie knew he shouldn't have done it, the pair found themselves not drunk, but defiantly had too much to drink , especially since they were underage. However, Amy had insisted they never checked at the bar, and she had been right.
Moments later, after a few kisses in the back of Jamie's car, he left Amy walking up to the front of her house.
What happened after would later be argued upon…..
