Chapter 8
Back at Lucy's house, Alison had found an empty suitcase and was packing her stuff hurriedly. Alison jumped when she heard Lucy's voice. "Alison!" Lucy cried. Lucy ran over and hugged her. "I was so worried about you. . ." Her voice trailed off as she saw the suitcase. "Uh. . .what are you doing?" Alison talked with her back to Lucy, continuing to pack. "I'm moving back in with Jamal." Lucy was confused. "Permanently?" Alison shrugged. The truth was, she didn't know.
BRRRING! Jamal ran to the phone and picked it up. "Y'ello?" he said. Ricky was on the other end. As the two talked, Ricky explained everything that hah happened at his apartment. Ricky finished with, "I'm so sorry, Jamal. I know you loved Marissa." But for some reason, there was another girl, not Marissa, on Jamal's mind. "Ricky, I have to tell you something," Jamal said. He told Ricky that eventually he might get back together with Alison. Expecting a jerky comment, instead, Jamal heard, "Good luck, bro." "Thanks," Jamal stammered, surprised at Ricky's comment. "See ya." He hung up.
Lucy sat down. "What about Rafe?" she asked. Alison stopped and sat down next to Lucy and hugged her. "I know you had big plans for us," Alison said, "but some things. . .you just have to get over. I know its really hard for you because he was your cousin." Lucy understood. "Jamal was your first love," Lucy said, "You two deserve each other." Alison smiled at Lucy as she headed out the door. "Good luck, Alison!" Lucy said, as Alison waved. "Ta!"
Soon, Alison arrived back at Jamal's apartment. "Welcome back, Spunky," she heard Jamal say. She giggled and began to unpack, then she sat down next to Jamal, who was holding a picture of the two of them at the beach. Alison gently took the picture out of his hand and set it on the side table. "Jamal, I know you miss. . .us." Jamal looked up at her. "We've had so many great times," she said, "And. . ." She smiled at him. "I think it's possible we could get it all back." Jamal looked at her beautiful eyes and said, "I think you're right, baby girl." He leaned toward her and the two kissed passionately.
