I still don't own Dirty Dancing or any of its characters and I'm not making any money off of this, it's just for fun.

Also I apologize for the shortness of this chapter, but I wanted to end it on this thought, I'm working on Chapter 4 so you won't have to wait long for the update.

Thanks to all who have reviewed, I'm glad you're enjoying it so far.

Chapter 3

Collapsing on my bed the moment I arrived back to my room I burst into tears, what on earth was I going to do now? The only thing I could think to do was to find Johnny but I had no idea where to begin, the only person I could think of that might know where he would be, was Billy. Seeing as they were cousins surely they'd kept in touch after Johnny was fired from Kellerman's at the end of the summer. I immediately sat up on the bed and reached across for the phone dialing zero for the operator.

"Hi, I'm looking for the number for Kellerman's Mountain House Resort please," I spoke shortly into the receiver, not really interested in any idle chit chat with the girl on the other end of the line.

"Yes miss, one moment please," she replied and after several moments of silence she finally spoke up again giving me the number.

"Thank you," I responded quickly before slamming the phone down and trying to gather my courage to dial. The next thing I knew my fingers were dialing the number and I was waiting for a response on the other end of the line, finally I got it and took a deep breath before finally responding, "I'm trying to get in touch with Billy Kostecki please, can I leave a message for him to call me?"

"I'm sorry miss," the lady's voice on the other end rang clearly through, "but Billy no longer works here."

"What?" I asked in astonishment, "that can't be."

"I'm sorry miss but he's been gone for over a month now, can I help you with something?"

What kind of a stupid question was that? I wondered to myself, of course she couldn't help me. But then it came to me, another way to find Johnny, "what about Penny Johnson, can I leave a message for her?"

"I'm sorry miss," she began again causing my heart to drop, "but miss Penny's not here either."

"You've got to be kidding me!" I nearly yelled into the phone, "I've only been gone 2 months, how could so much have changed in only 2 months?"

"Well it's off season miss, we have very few staff on during the fall and winter months, are you sure there isn't anything I can help you with?"

"NO!" I yelled, "I need to talk to Penny or Billy, do you have a forwarding address or phone number for either of them?"

"No miss!" She replied firmly, obviously not impressed with my attitude, "you can try back in April if you wish, if Penny or Billy are back with us at that time, you can get in touch with them then, but there's nothing else I can do for you now." And with that she hung up causing the line to go dead.

My frustration was overwhelming, I had been so sure that this would be the perfect way to get in touch with Johnny, but now what was I going to do?

I spent the next several months trying to track down Johnny, Penny and Billy with no luck, it was as though they'd just disappeared off the planet or something. No one seemed to know where or who they were, I'd gone through every Castle, Kostecki and Johnson in the Philidelphia, New York and New Jersey area and by the time I'd called the last number in the last phone book I was ready to give up. I was never going to find them and I was convinced that it must be a sign, if Johnny and I were meant to be or if he was meant to know about this child I was carrying in my ever growing belly then I would've found him by now. So I reluctantly resigned my search never to resume it again.
