"I told you it would work" Jade said as she, Steph and Shane sat in the parking lot.
"Let me see" Steph said as she took the binoculars from Jade "ohh, I might cry" Steph said.
"How did you know it would work" Shane asked
"Can't you figure it out, its the place of their first kiss, of course it would" Jade Said
"Wait, you mean to tell me their first kiss was in mom's office" Shane asked.
"Didn't you know that" Steph asked her older brother who looked dumb.
"No" Shane answered.
"Well, I'm gonna go, nights still young" Jade said checking her watch
"Its about one in the morning, where you gonna go" Shane asked.
"Clubs man, there are tons of them opened all night, I'm gonna get my groove on tonight buddy,
anyone else wanna come" Jade asked
"Hey Paul is on the road, and I don't have work so I'm game" Steph jumped in.
Shane shook his, I have work and a wife, so I'm going home.
Linda woke up to the beeping of the alarm clock, but wait a minute her clock didn't beep. She
opened her eyes fully to see Al reach over and just throw the thing across the room. She smiled
when he reached over and pulled her closer to him."Good morning" he said. "Morning" She Smiled
as she felt him hold her close. " So what do you want to do today" he asked her. "Well, we have
to get up, cause we're meeting with Stephanie at Shane's house today"
"All right, then later on you can meet Jade" He said stretching his back. Al and Linda pulled up
to Steph house.
When Linda walked in Steph was walking around half a sleep. Shane and Marissa had left early
that morning to finsh a few things at work.
"Late night Steph" Linda asked. " yeah, a little to late and a little too much to drink"
Steph said. "Who did you go with?, I know Paul's on the road" Linda asked, but no sooner before
Steph answered, the sound of some falling down the stairs caught her attention,
"Oh for the love of Jesus himself" Jade yelled.
"What did you do" Steph laughed at the sight of jade sitting on the floor.
"Jade Marie Conners, what in the blue hell" Al asked in a rather scary tone.
"Oh shit" Jade silently said to herself, "Must you yell" Jade said getting up.
"Don't even tell me you were out all night" he asked
"No, I wasn't" she said, but the look he was giving her scared the hell out of her
"All right I was, but must you give the evil death stare, I feel as though I turning to
stone here"
"Don't try getting out of this, and where is your car?I didn't see outside " he asked
Jade tried to remember, but it was no use,she was having a hard time putting two and two together
"Steph, where is my car" Jade asked.
"Neither one of us could drive so we left it at the underground" Steph said.
"Oh that's right, Travis drove us here" Jade said with a smile.
"What? How much did you have to drink? Oh Am I going to kill you and secondly
Who is Travis" he asked more pissed then ever,"A friend" Jade said looking at the floor,
"looked like more then friends to me" Steph accidentally said loud enough for everyone to hear.
Al had turned a bright shade of red and it was at this point Linda decided she should step in.
"All right, Al calm down and breath, Jade sweetie where are the keys to your car?" Linda asked,
Jade gave her the keys, Al was still a bright shade of red and looked ready to kill.
"Al look at it this way, at least she didn't drive" Linda said trying to calm him down,
"At least I haven't killed her yet" he said in and ice cold tone.
"Steph, honestly go back to bed, causeyou like crap and I'll talk to you later" Linda said taking
Al and leading him out the door, with Jade following far behind.
When they were outside Al had made three attempts to go after her, but everytime Linda held him
back. "Give me your keys, Your not in a state to drive" She said taking his keys also. Linda
drove down to the Underground, where Jades Dodge Durrango sat."I'll drive Jade's car and I'll
meet back at your house" Linda said, before she could finish Jade flew out of the car and said
she was going with her. Linda took Al's hand,"Relax, she's young and your only young once,you
need to calm down and relax, if you drive in this kind of state you'll end up getting hurt,please
don't go and get yourself hurt" She said before walking over to Jade's car.
Jade climbed into the front seat. "Nice car" Linda said getting in. Linda looked over at
Jade who seemed more relaxed then five minutes ago. "So your a friend of Shane's" she asked.
Jade smiled "yeah, I met Shane when he tried to kill my father, and then I ran into him again on
his search for you that day" Jade explained the whole story to her on the ride home. "So that's
how your father knew I was there, But how did you know about that being the place" Linda asked.
"He told me. He was so excited for me to meet you and I told him anyone who makes you that
happy is cool by me", "Well let me ask you one more question, Who is Travis and do I have to
worry about your father trying to kill him"
Jade smiled and turned a bit red "I've known Travis for ever, we started going out the day I
returned home"
"Your father never mentioned what kind of training you were at" Linda said, "It was a CSI course
down south, the Criminal scene haw always been a thing for me, its real cool" Jade answered.
Some how Linda and Jade returned back before he did, Jade ran in circle for like three minutes
finding somewhere to hide, but Linda assured her not to worry. Linda sat on the couch reading
the paper when Jade sat next to her, " you truly are a great person and I can see why my father
listens and loves you so much, and yet after you've seen me at my worst today, you still didn't
judge me, that's cool, here that is why I want you to have this" Jade gave her necklace it was a
Celtic symbol meaning love and unity. " it was given to me by a good friend and now I want you
to have it"
Linda was overjoyed that she had come to think of her so highly, the sound of Al's car pulling
up, sent Jade up stairs. Al sat next to Linda and sighed, "I really didn't want you to meet her
like that, But I'm sorry" The necklace caught his eye, "love and unity, Celtic symbol"
"Jade gave it to me" Linda said leaning against him.
"I remember when she got them from her grandfather, there were four of them, Emily has one, I
still wear mine, as does Jade, and her giving the fourth to you means a whole lot" Al stood up
and then sat on the table in front of Linda,"I love you Linda more than anything, and after Em I
didn't think it was possible. I had planned on waiting, but I can't wait any longer." Al got
down on one knee before her, " these times we've been together have been the happiest moments
and I don't want to chance losing like I almost did" Linda knew what he was about to do, tears
filled her eyes. Al took her hand, it was then that he noticed that she had removed the ring
she wore from Vince. Anyway he took her hand and with the other he took out a ring box and
opened it. "Linda will you marry me" he asked Tears were rolling down her checks, she seemed
short of breath."yes" she said with excitement, he slid the ring on her finger and she jumped
into his arms. The sun was setting, Al and Linda had drifted off into a nap as they laid on the
couch. Jade sat on the porch with Steph, Shane and Marissa. " Go ahead and say Shane I know you
want to" Jade said poking at him, " I won't say anything" he said, "its easy, just say Jade you
are a genius, You called it, you are a psychic" Jade laughed. " I still don't know how you did it"
Marissa said. " I didn't do anything, All I did was give em a push" Jade smiled
"Go ahead and say it I am God" Jade laughed,
"You are to loud" Al said opening the screen door. He sat down on the porch swing and Linda sat
next to him. "Most you keep on poking me" Shane said.
"Yes, until you say it, you must say Jade you rule, you know all" Jade laughed.
As Linda and Al watched them all tease and argue with each other, the a few elderly ladies
walking noticed them laughing and having a good time stopped, "Its nice to have so many friends" one of them said.
"we're not friends" Shane yelled out "We're Family" he and Jade said together.
Linda and Al watched and Smiled, that's right they were family.
"Let me see" Steph said as she took the binoculars from Jade "ohh, I might cry" Steph said.
"How did you know it would work" Shane asked
"Can't you figure it out, its the place of their first kiss, of course it would" Jade Said
