Josie drove as fast as she can on her way home, furiously wiping away her stray tears with the back of her hand. All she wants to do was lie on her bed and cry her heart out.

The situation she was in right now was very difficult, and her heart was taking its toll. Opening her front door, she ran straight to her room, changing into a shirt that was a few sizes bigger than her size.

She sat on her bed, hugging her penguin tight. "I love you Sam! It hurts me to think that you're gone again. But now there's no way that I can try and get you back. You're marrying someone else. I wish I didn't feel this way. I wish you never came back. I wish you were not going to marry someone else. I wish that you love me. I wish…."

Josie couldn't take it anymore; she lay down on her pillow, still hugging her penguin close, and cried herself to sleep.

* * * Josie woke up at the shrill ringing of her cell phone. She sat up and wearily looked at her clock.

It was four o'clock in the afternoon. She took a peek at her mirror to see how she looks. "Eeww!" she said to herself, taking in her bloodshot eyes and her pale complexion. "God, the last time I looked like this was two years ago, and that was because of Sam. And now, surprise, surprise. It's again because of Sam!"

The persistent ringing of her phone interrupted her thoughts. She sighed and looked for her phone. She saw it peeking out of her bag, which was thrown on the floor.

She picked up her phone and answered with a grumpy, "Hello?"

"God, Josie! Where are you? Are you home?"

"Oh, Rob! What is it? I'm sorry, I was sleeping." "

You're still in bed at four o'clock in the afternoon? Something must be wrong!"

"Yes there is! Oh, Rob! My life is such a mess!" when she said that, she couldn't help but choke back the tears that were again threatening to fall.

"Josie what is it?" Rob asked, concern evident in his voice.

"Rob…" she couldn't help it. She started to cry.

"Okay, okay! I'll be right there!" he said.

"I'll be waiting…. thanks Rob!" she said wearily, as she hanged up.

* * * Thirty minutes later, Josie heard knocking on her door. She didn't bother to fix herself since she knows that it's only Rob.

When she opened her door, she was right. She saw him carrying a small bag of something. "Hey Rob!" she said, as she reached for the bag. "What's this?"

He took in her distressed state, and the fact that she wasn't smiling when she saw him. "Oh, just something to cheer you up." He answered, as he closed the door behind him.

Josie walked to the kitchen and placed the package on the bar counter. She opened it and found a box inside. She opened the box and saw her favorite: chocolate cake. Josie looked at her brother and started crying at his sweetness and at the problem that was such a burden to her.

Rob immediately placed his arms around her, hugging her tight. She cried more openly in her brother's arms. "Josie, shhh…it's okay! I brought that cake here to cheer you up not to make you cry." He explained as he led her to the love seat beside her window.

"No, Rob. It's not the cake. It's so sweet of you to bring me my most favorite thing in the whole world. It's just that…. I saw Sam kissing Maria and it made me realize that I'm still in love with him. And, and I just can't handle the fact that he's going to marry her within three short weeks…. and it hurts!" she finished sadly as tears continued to fall.

Rob took in everything that his sister said. Here she was crying again, because of the same guy, Sam Coulson, who has made her cry two years ago. His heart went out for his sister, because he knows that even though she haven't talked about Sam for two years, she was still in love with him.

He didn't really like her boyfriend, Mark because he has this reputation of being a womanizer. But, Josie swore to him that he had changed his ways and he believed her, for her sake.

Now, seeing her this way, Rob felt the familiar anger that he felt for Sam two years ago. But he knows now that his anger wouldn't do Josie good right now, considering the state she was in.

He rubbed her back soothingly, hoping to make her a tiny bit better. "Wait, tell me more about this marriage thing." He said as he felt Josie wipe away her tears.

Josie sat up and looked at her brother. She sighed and told him everything that has happened to her these past few days.

* * * Josie closed the door after Rob went out two hours later. Rob listened to her that entire time. They ate the whole cake that night and Josie actually felt better than she did since she left the country club.

Rob gave good advice to her, saying that she just had to wait, on how Sam would act on this situation on hand. He was two years younger than her, but he was very wise in the love department.


She was really lucky that she has him for a brother. She cleaned up and brushed her teeth, then went to her room, and went to sleep.

* * * Sam was lying on his bed the whole time since he came home from the Country Club.

After that incident with Josie and his realization that he's still in love with her, he couldn't bring him self to spend more time with Maria.

Right now, he knows that he couldn't go on with the wedding. He didn't know how he was going to break this news to Maria, aware that she would be hurt.

Sam ran his fingers through his hair in exasperation. He tried calling Josie so many times that night, but when he did dial the number and the phone rang, he would immediately hang up, not waiting for Josie to pick up.

"What would I say to her anyway? 'Josie I'm still in love with you. Please give me another chance!' God! I sound like a character in a soap opera." He said to him self, shaking his head.

He went to the kitchen and got himself a bottle of beer to soothe his nerves. He sat on his couch, sipping his beer as he thought about everything that has happened to him in a short span of two days.

He was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice that his beer was all gone. He then realized that this wasn't doing him any good.

He stood up and went to his bed to go to sleep, hoping that at least in his dreams, he would be with Josie.
