Monica turned to Andrew and smiled. "Andrew, I still don't know who our assignment is, is it Claire, James, Cherilyn, or was it Scott?" Andrew sighed, "I honestly don't know, but we are going to help all of them".

Monica went to help Tess make food, "Can I make the meat sauce?" she asked. Tess laughed, "No, you can cook the spaghetti". Monica smiled; knowing that there was no way Tess would let her. She put the spaghetti on to boil and went to sit by Andrew.

Monica gazed out the window, watching the rain hammering on the window; she turned around and sighed, then looked outside again. Andrew walked over to where Tess was cooking "You know when you said we have to go and see James again". Tess didn't answer she just nodded. "When do we have to go?" he asked. Tess turned around and answered, "As soon as you can, I know Monica doesn't want to go, and that's understandable, but James needs help with his drinking problem. Just assure Monica that you will be there for her". Andrew nodded and went back to sit down.

Tess brought their food, and then she went to get orange juice and sat opposite Monica. "You have to go back to see James tomorrow" Tess said. Monica looked at Andrew then at Tess "I can't go back there, James was really violent today". Tess nodded "I know, and that's way you have to help him".

The following day, Andrew and Monica left to go and visit James. "Andrew, I mean it, I don't want to in there again" Monica stated. Andrew nodded "I know, but like Tess said, this man needs help and we are the ones to help him".

Claire answered the door and smiled. After inviting them in she went into the living room. This time James was acting normal, and no one said anything about the pervious day. Well that was until Andrew asked, "What was going on yesterday?" Everyone turned and stared at him. "Umâ€yeah I'm sorry about that" replied James.

"Have you ever considered getting help?" Andrew asked "Why? Do you think I need it?" laughed James. Andrew nodded "to be honest, yes I do". James looked at Andrew and laughed. Claire added "To be honest James, I agree with Andrew, you do need help".

"Ok, well we'll discuss this later" replied James. "Anyway, can you come to the funeral tomorrow?" Andrew nodded "I think we can, I'll phone you later to let you know for definite". Claire smiled.

Andrew and Monica got into Andrew's new car and started to drive home. It was now raining really heavy, and it was freezing cold.

"Andrew, just think, if we didn't go into the café last week, we wouldn't have met Cherilyn, James and Claire". "Yeah, but we wouldn't be a couple either" he replied as he parked on the side of the road. Monica looked into his eyes and smiled, before moving closer to him and kissing him. Andrew held her tight and said "I can't drive in this weather, so we'll just have to stay here for a while".

Monica nodded and run her fingers through his hair, "Ok, as long as I'm with you" she smiled. Andrew kissed her gently for a few minuets. Then got his phone and phoned Tess to tell her they would be late. Monica lay her head on his shoulder and hugged him. "I'm so glad I've got you" she whispered "me too" he replied.
