Chapter 9
~*~ Greg comes back ~*~
All of a sudden I saw a Jeep pull up to the cops and try to get inside the parking lot. The cops wouldn't let whomever in. Then I noticed it was my mom's Jeep and Greg jumped out and came running over. I stood up from where I was with Jesse and ran over to him. He just held me for a few minutes. Then he handed me a brand new ring. It looked just like the other one, but it was different.
"Greg." I said. "You did not, I mean really did not, have to get me a brand new ring. All that matters is that you understand what happened, and what went on."
"Kendra. I love you. Yes I had to buy you another ring, because it proves to other people that I love you." He said holding me very close and not letting go. "Where is Jaimie and Matt?"
"I don't know ask Jesse and Frankie."
"Ok I will come on let's go." He said putting his arm around my shoulder and walking over to Jesse and Frankie. "Hey where's Jaimie and Matt?"
"Inside." Frankie answered. "But Kendra can't go in there, so if you're going to get them, Kendra has to stay out here."
"Alright. Kendra stay here with Jesse, I'll be a matter of seconds. I promise hun."
"Ok." I said and stayed with Jesse.
"Kendra you're eyes are so red."
"They are?"
"Yeah, you were really upset."
"Yeah I know. You know what Greg did though?"
"No what did he do now?"
"He bought me a whole nother ring. I can't believe he did it either. I told him he didn't have to buy me another one, because I knew he loved me, and he's like, yeah I know but this way people know I love. Not just you, the guyz, your girls, and me. I couldn't believe it."
"Greg got you another ring?" Frankie asked.
"Yeah, isn't he kind of over doing this?" Jesse asked.
"I dunno I like him this way. He's really sweet. And not pushy."
"Kendra." Frankie said taking my hands, "The only reason Greg is pushy, is because he really loves you."
"Yeah I know but sometimes he's worse then my parents, ya know?"
"Well then talk to him about it."
"No don't talk to him about it tell him. If you talk to him about it he won't understand the point."
"Same difference, Frankie." Jesse said.
"Not really but thanx for the help Jess." Frankie said.
"Hey don't be mean to Jesse, he's just trying to help." I said hugging Jesse.
"But he's." Frankie started.
"A really good friend for trying, and very smart, sometime he has wrong answers but, he's only human, Frankie. Just like you. I can name a bunch of times you've been wrong." I said.
"Name one." He challenged.
"Ok you were wrong about Greg and me."
"Well anyone could have been wrong about that. Give me another one."
"Alright you were wrong about. Greg period."
"Again anyone could have been wrong about that."
"Jesse wasn't!" I said.
"Well that's Jesse."
"Exactly!" I said.
"Huh?" Jesse asked.
"Yeah, huh? I don't get it."
"Easy, you just agreed that Jesse was right."
"So."
"So. You never say Jesse's right! Finally something good came out of your mouth, about Jesse."
"Come on Kendra, Jaimie and you will follow me and Matt home. You up for driving or should Jesse drive you home?" Greg asked.
"No I think I'll be fine. It's not that far."
