Rafe Finally got to his destination. Tennessee. He went to his old house growing up as a child. His parents gave it to him when they moved to Kentucky. They told Rafe he could have it to live in for himself about 4 years ago. This house held so many memories. He was glad to finally be here. It was just how he left it, but dusty. He thought for an instance that he might call Evelyn. Just to tell her he made it alright, and to see how she was doing. I'll call her tomorrow. Just so I can get settled in, then I'll call her. Rafe unpacked his suitcase and went downstairs to the kitchen. He was starving, but of course there was nothing in the house. He decided to go out to eat. It would be nice to get out in his home town. He might even run into some good friends. So he got his keys and walked out the door.

After walking around for an hour, he finally decided on Mel's Dinner. He and Danny would come here as much as they could when they were kids. At first Rafe didn't want to go in, but then his stomach overcame him. He sat down on a stool looking at the window, when he heard a familiar voice. He turned around to see a tall, skinny, blond haired-blue-eyed girl in front of him. It was Olivia. Olivia was Danny's old girlfriend. He dated her before he left for the air force, but they broke up because she didn't want to have a relationship with someone who would always be away.

"Olivia! I can't believe this!"

"How are you! What are you doing down here? I haven't seen you in years! How's Danny?" The last comment made Rafe wince. He didn't know what to say. Olivia was staring at him with a blank expression on her face.

"Rafe? You there?" She started laughing at him, then realizing something was seriously wrong.

"Oh, yea, umm....I'm fine."

"And Danny?"

"Umm....He died in the raid to Tokyo."

"what! That's horrible! I'm so sorry for bringing this up, I had no idea!" She could see the pain in his eyes and could almost kick herself for saying anything, But she didn't know.

"Yea, it's still a shock to me. I decided to come down here and live after it happened."

"I'm so sorry. I never thought about this happening. If there's anything I can do-"

"Thank you." Rafe didn't want to talk about it. Olivia left and he sat there alone, not being disturbed for the rest of his meal. That was how it went for the next couple of weeks. Rafe would randomly run into someone he hadn't seen in a long time, and they would ask him about Danny. The news spread fast about his death, and instead of people asking where he was, they were apologizing. Rafe couldn't take anymore apologies. He decided to try and mpve on with his life. Nothing good came about his move to Tennessee. He picked up the phone and dialed information. Then the line was connected to who he was trying to call. He then started having regrets. What am I doing?

"Hello?" He was just about to hang up but it was too late.

"Hey"

"Who is this?"

"Oh, this is Rafe, listen, Remember when you told me you if there's anything you could do... Well do you think we could do something? I am tired of doing nothing and I have no one to hang out with."

"Oh...sure! How about we meet at the Dinner in an hour?"

"Great! Thanks Olivia. This really means a lot."

"No problem, see you then" and with that they hung up. Rafe was excited because he hadn't had someone to hang out with in forever. His life was forever changed and he didn't want to be miserable. Meeting with an old friend was a good way to start.
